Chapter 1110 - 1110 1109 Three Parties

Chapter 1110: Chapter 1109: Three Parties Chapter 1110: Chapter 1109: Three Parties Before Saint Grade Mountain’s gate.

Black Night Priest still maintained his posture of holding up an umbrella, standing upright and composed, motionless since his arrival at the foot of the mountain.

On the other hand, the Golden Saint seemed a bit “restless.”

Firstly, because of the mental impact that the complete annihilation of the craftsmen had on him in the duel.

Secondly, because he suspected that there were some unauthorized modifications to the [Sanctification] he had brought about, and he was plotting how to kill Green.

“Father Lysos, the batch of ‘Transmuters’ you’ve cultivated is quite impressive!

The two who succeeded in the upgrade are very distinctive.

The one wearing a head cover, taking the lead, is essentially no different from the craftsmen in our world… if he can last until the end and come into contact with the Statue of Divine Sign, there’s a high chance he’ll become an [Eligible Candidate], and with that, our mission would also come to a smooth end.

As for the other little guy, he seems to have something special in his performance in the vortex.

It’s just a pity that he was completely absorbed by that crazed demon, otherwise, I would have really liked to take them both back.”

Sure enough.

The Saint was able to monitor the overall situation of the [Upgrade] through some means.

Han Dong’s brief ascent of the mountain and his absorption by Green were all within The Eye’s view.

After the last match, the Golden Saint only had eyes for Green.

In the Saint’s view, Green, the madman, merely saw his competitors as ‘prey’… letting the prey run for a while before hunting them down to enjoy the thrill.

He also knew that Green was uninterested in miracles, and that his sole purpose was to cause trouble.

Once someone completed the upgrade, his mission as a Saint would be accomplished, and then the slaughter would commence…

A voice came from the darkness.

“Indeed, they are not bad, let’s hope [Z] can make it through safely and gain the recognition of Vortex Divinity,” the voice was exceedingly calm, as if indifferent.

“If you could obtain a master-level ‘Transmuter’ in your world,

you would all gain recognition from the Holy Level World, and be allowed to live there without discrimination, any individual inclined to come over to live, we would warmly welcome.

As for you, Priest, as an important intermediary in this event, you are sure to receive hospitality and rewards from Mountain Craft… and moreover, you will be exceptionally granted some authority.”

“Thank you, Saint.”

“However, aside from the official matters, I have a personal request… I hope that when the [Eligible Candidate] emerges, the Priest can do me a favor.”

Seeing that the Black Night Priest did not speak, just stood silently in place.

“This individual named Christopher J. Green must be an important youth in the Demon World, his strength displayed in the duel far surpasses the average level of his rank.

Such a little guy is sure to have plenty of life-saving tricks.

I hope the Priest can join forces with me to kill him swiftly… I am willing to owe you a big favor for this.”

The Priest responded with a very calm tone, “Killing Green will lead to a series of serious consequences, even to the point of accelerating the turning of the ‘World Gear.'”

“Haha, wouldn’t that be even better? The [Gods] in our world have long been prepared, otherwise, they would not have taken on this heavy burden from Fate.

With the ‘Saint Grade’ and ‘Fairyland,’ we naturally have more beings capable of touching on Truth.

If the World Gear truly accelerates due to the lad’s death, it’s nothing more than hastening the demise of the demons.”

Hearing this,

the Priest in the darkness paused for a moment, adjusted himself briefly, then returned to a normal state.

“Fine, if the Saint truly wishes to eliminate Green, I will assist as much as possible.”

“Haha! Good…

Ideally, I’d like to kill all the participating demons as well.

After all, several of the demons have excellent talents, and given enough time to develop, while they won’t affect the global situation, they could cause a significant loss of combat power.”

“Everything is at the Saint’s discretion.”

It might have been the hatred for Green or perhaps the repeated contact with Green,

The Golden Saint’s thinking and methods seemed to have become a bit more ‘insane’… of course, he himself did not feel this way, he was single-mindedly focused on killing Green and the other related demons.

…

The Upgrade was still underway.

“Z” was clearly in the lead,

even twice the distance ahead of the second-place Green.

But,

as the journey went on, “Z”‘s speed noticeably slowed, even to less than half of what it was at the start.

It wasn’t a result of having rushed out too quickly and experienced a decline in stamina; for Z, his physical endurance was nearly unlimited… it was a kind of “Enlightenment Limit.”

The Saint Grade—a physical manifestation of the ladder leading to the Truth.

While it did help individuals clarify their road forward, it couldn’t force growth.

Individuals also needed to gain enough enlightenment during the Upgrade period; only by meeting the benchmark requirements to touch upon the Truth could they reach the pinnacle.

Clearly, “Z” had not yet reached the final phase of the Ancestor Return.

In the second half of the Upgrade process, he would have to slowly realize “transformation and progress,” and with each step he climbed, his body underwent a certain degree of distortion.

About two hours passed.

“Z”‘s legs had become conical bulks of flesh, and his speed of Upgrade was now no different from that of a regular mountain climber.

Meanwhile, about two hundred meters below him, a vague silhouette could be seen.

Green, who had been left far behind by him, had now appeared.

Moreover, he exhibited an unusually relaxed demeanor, his hands clasped behind his head, whistling a wildly insane tune while casually jogging upward.

Another half-hour went by.

When “Z,” deeply immersed in enlightenment, suddenly came to his senses, an extremely exaggerated smile had already appeared beside him.

Forehead, temples, and the whole back were drenched in cold sweat.

The punch he wanted to swing out was also retracted with a survival instinct.

Z was very clear that if he threw that punch, he would undoubtedly die.

“You’re Nicholas’s teammate, right? It looks like you haven’t fully gone through the ‘Late Ancestor-Return’… Otherwise, I really wouldn’t be able to catch up with you.

Don’t be scared, I won’t kill you.

Furthermore, don’t worry. I’m not interested in the so-called Miracle or its divine nature.

I just want to reach the top first and see what kind of nonsense the peak of the Saint Grade is, and why it’s connected to the Door of Truth… I also need to be the first to touch the Statue of Divine Sign to complete a bet.

Be at ease.

Follow your own pace, slowly make it up here… when the time comes, I’ll be an audience, watching how you take in the divine nature.

Good luck, I’m rooting for you.”

After speaking, Green patted Z’s shoulder amicably and friendly before continuing to jog up the mountain leisurely.

Moreover, Green’s mode of climbing was quite special.

With every step Green took, one could see that the soles of his shoes were covered with vortex threads, even attempting to wrap around his foot.

But this kind of transformation offered by the Saint Grade couldn’t affect Green’s flesh, exhibiting a kind of ‘defiant posture.’

Completely rejecting the Saint Grade’s ‘adaptation and modification.’

Such a scene left Z stunned for a long while.

He, once the strongest Ancestor Body in London City, was now feeling like a frog at the bottom of a well.

However, this also strengthened Z’s desire to become stronger.

Regardless of whether the end result would lead to him forsaking his Demon identity, he wanted to seize this chance for change… he wanted to see from a higher platform.

…

However,

at a time when everyone was busy with their own things,

Han Dong was continuously falling in the caverns within Green’s body…
