Chapter 2066: Chapter 2063: Broken Divine Status
The middle-aged man glanced at Ling Feng, and said indifferently, "This is the Hall of the War God!"
"The Hall of the War God?" Ling Feng was taken aback. Is this the Hall of the War God among the Ten Temples?
Previously, the Clan Leader had told Ling Feng that this Hall of the War God was the most brutal of all Paths to Godhood. Because the only way to pass the War Godās trial is through endless battle, fighting until the end, unless one obtains the War Godās Godhood; otherwise, they can only die on the War Godās Path.
But to Ling Feng, this didnāt mean much. He had experienced countless battles big and small along the way, many times standing on the brink of life and death.
"Why did that Great Sculpture bring me to the Hall of the War God? Does it want me to enter the War Godās Path?" Ling Feng squinted his eyes and asked, somewhat puzzled.
The middle-aged man chuckled, "Thatās right, that Great Sculpture is the Guardian of the Hall of the War God. I was also caught by it; its sole purpose is to have us enter the War Godās Path and obtain the ultimate Godhood of the War God."
Ling Feng was still somewhat puzzled, "Is it really that kind-hearted?"
"Kind-hearted? I think you might have misunderstood the meaning of the word ākind-heartedā!" The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Do you know why that Great Sculpture brought you and me into the Hall of the War God?"
"Please, enlighten me, Big Brother!" Ling Feng respectfully asked for guidance.
The middle-aged man cleared his throat and said, "Thatās because... very few people choose the Hall of the War God. Compared to other temples, the number of people choosing to enter the Hall of the War God is only a tenth of the other temples!"
"Do you know why? Itās because the Godhood of the Hall of the War God is broken!" The middle-aged man said with a cold laugh, "Even if we pass the War Godās Path, the Godhood we obtain is still incomplete! Moreover, because the Godhood is broken, the danger on the War Godās Path is even greater than other Paths to Godhood!"
Ling Feng was shocked, "Is that so? Why is the Godhood of the Hall of the War God broken?"
"Young brother, do you know how the Twelve God Temples came to be?" The middle-aged man said indifferently.
Ling Feng shook his head.
"The Twelve God Temples symbolize twelve supreme gods, but back then, a god war occurred between the twelve gods. It is unknown whether they had an internal conflict or encountered some fearsome existence; each of the twelve supreme gods fell!"
"Although they died, their Godhoods were preserved, returned to the Holy Mountain, waiting for new deities to be born!" The middle-aged man said smoothly, "However, the War God, despite being defeated, had a powerful obsession in his heart, so he took half of his Godhood and disappeared. Thus, the Godhood in the Hall of the War God is only half, incomplete!"
"And broken Godhood naturally doesnāt attract the interest of others, so very few people enter the Hall of the War God!" The middle-aged man said plainly, "Moreover, only with the birth of a new deity can the Guardian of the temple be relieved, now you should understand, right?"
Ling Feng somewhat understood now. The ultimate goal of the Great Sculpture dragging him here was also to make him enter the War Godās Path. If he luckily passes the trial of the War Godās Path, then it would no longer be bound by the Hall of the War God.

But the War Godās Godhood... thinking of this, Ling Feng felt uneasy. A broken Godhood, no wonder it doesnāt attract other skilled individuals!
"Big Brother, may I know your name and how you know so many secrets?" Ling Feng asked curiously.
The middle-aged man sighed, "I am Feng Qiu from the Thousand Cloud Realm. I have been here for three thousand years. Even a fool would learn quite a few secrets in that time!"
Ling Feng was greatly surprised, "Three thousand years? Big Brother Feng, havenāt you thought of entering any Path to Godhood during these three thousand years?"
Feng Qiu looked at Ling Feng with a somewhat resentful gaze, "Actually...I have always been indecisive. I donāt even want to enter the Path to Godhood! Fate plays with us!"
Ling Feng was somewhat puzzled. Not wanting to enter the Path to Godhood, why did he come here?
"I only knew this as the Path of Immortality, but I didnāt know it was the Path to Godhood of the temples!" Feng Qiu sighed and said, "The Path to Godhood is much harsher than achieving the Immortal Realm. Although some can ascend from the Path to Godhood to the Immortal Realm and leave, the more I understand the Path to Godhood, the more I feel it is an invincible terrifying existence!"
Pain showed on Feng Qiuās face, "Fear comes from the unknown. I thought I stood at the peak of the world, having a deep understanding of it, but the more I understand, the more I realize my ignorance and ridiculousness. That fear comes along with it, and now I no longer have the courage and grandeur I had when I first entered."
Looking at Feng Qiuās pain, Ling Feng deeply empathized. The more one knows, the more one realizes oneās ignorance and respects the world. Ling Feng understood Feng Qiuās current emotions well.
But Ling Feng didnāt expect that Feng Qiu had been living here for three thousand years; thatās really long! If not for the Great Sculpture dragging him here, he would probably continue to fear.
"Big Brother Feng, weāve already arrived at the Hall of the War God, thereās no turning back now!" Ling Feng chuckled lightly, "Whatever worries we had before, we now have only one path, and that is to break through the War Godās Path!"
"All our worries are now obstacles!" Ling Feng said solemnly, "When thereās only one road ahead, we have no choice but to fight!"
Feng Qiu looked at Ling Feng with surprise. After a long time, he sighed, "Itās so good. Seeing you, I seem to see myself when I first entered this world! The same enthusiasm, the same fearlessness!"
Ling Feng smiled but didnāt continue to speak, although his heart was heavy.
"Once within the temple, unless one passes the trials of the War Godās Path, it is impossible to leave!" Feng Qiu said plainly, "But there is one way, and that is to have Brother Sculpture send us out again!"
Ling Feng shook his head, how could that be possible? Brother Sculpture is not doing charity. If they donāt enter, Ling Feng believes the Great Sculpture might even kill them directly!
"How do you enter the War Godās Path?" Ling Feng asked.
"You walk towards the War God Statue, naturally youāll be able to enter!" Feng Qiu replied lazily.
"Iām going in, what about you? Will you continue to stay here?" Ling Feng asked.
Feng Qiu waved him off, "Iāll consider it first!"
Ling Feng exhaled, at this point, what is there to consider? But seeing Feng Qiuās indifference, Ling Feng said nothing more and headed towards the War God Statue.
