Bowa God

Bu A felt an endless pain spread throughout his body. The agony caused by the continuous surge of his life gene was terrifying, so much so that Bu A couldn't even think. Once the pain completely receded, Bu A slowly opened his eyes, and with a single glance, even the distant mountain ranges became clearly visible. “I, I…” Bu A immediately felt his vision and hearing increase by a thousand, even ten thousand times. “Such powerful strength, too, too powerful.” The scars that had once marred Bu A’s face were gone, revealing his rugged, rock-carved features. He stretched out his thick arms and tried to exert force. *Crack!* The sturdy heavy armor he wore, which even a Seventh-tier Knight would need to exert full strength to damage, directly cracked open. Bu A felt as if the armor he was wearing was as fragile as mud, as if a slight tensing of his muscles would completely shatter it. This left him dumbfounded. “Could it be… could it be…” Bu A immediately began to examine himself internally, and this examination left him even more stunned. “Really, this, is this real?” Bu A began to slowly float upwards, suspended in mid-air. The surging primal energy within him made him let out a low roar, *Boom!* He instantly transformed into a streak of light and shot into the sky. Following that, he carved an S-shaped curve, flying at high speed through the air, and finally spun rapidly downwards from a great height, stopping just an inch from the ground. “Hahaha, haha, it’s real, it’s real! I’ve become a Saint! And a peak Saint! Just a tiny step away from becoming a Legend! Hahaha, Yuan Ao Supreme God above! Great Bowa God…” Bu A was ecstatic. On this endless Jue An Continent, with billions of lives across hundreds of races, the path from First-tier to Ninth-tier was incredibly difficult. Bu A, for instance, had started as a Knight apprentice from a young age, serving a Second-tier Knight by pouring tea, water, and even emptying chamber pots. Occasionally, he received guidance, allowing him to slowly grow. Once he became a Knight, he had to endure countless wars—conflicts between lords, and even between empires. He had served in armies, been trapped in slave camps, and repeatedly clawed his way out, surviving life-and-death battles. Only after crossing the threshold from Third-tier to Fourth-tier was he able to join the ‘Wei Yan Family’ and become one of their Knights. The Wei Yan Family was a powerful clan that governed a vast territory, and it even had a Saint among its members! The leap from Third-tier to Fourth-tier was a major hurdle. The leap from Sixth-tier to Seventh-tier was also a major hurdle. But from Ninth-tier to Saint… that was incredibly difficult! Once one became a Saint, they could roam the heavens and earth, possessing immense power, and were considered a formidable expert on the Jue An Continent. Becoming a Legend was even more extraordinary; one could easily establish a lordly nation. And becoming a Demigod meant one could directly found an empire and become its inaugural emperor! Below Third-tier were cannon fodder. Bu A had toiled for decades to become a Fifth-tier Knight, yet he was only considered an elite Knight. “A Saint!” “And a peak Saint, just one step away from Legend.” Bu A was utterly shocked. “I only heard that one could ascend to such heights instantly through a divine bestowal. Otherwise, cultivating from a Fifth-tier Knight to a peak Saint would take thousands of years. That great being instantly elevated me to this level; this must be a god!” “But that wasn’t Bowa God…” Bu A’s body trembled. The entire Jue An Continent had hundreds of gods, and each god commanded a territory billions of kilometers wide. “An Alien God?” Bu A was startled. Divine wars were the main theme of the entire Jue An Continent; for endless ages, divine wars had never ceased. “I can’t speak of this. I can’t tell anyone, not even my wife or son. Speaking of it would bring disaster. If others knew I received a bestowal from an Alien God, I’d be finished.” Bu A gritted his teeth and firmly committed this to memory. Then, he grinned, a sinister smile spreading across his face as he looked towards Wei Yan Fortress in the distance. “Wei Yan Fortress, the legendary Wei Yan Fortress Lord only became a Saint a little over a hundred years ago. He’s still far from a peak Saint, haha…” “My happy days, Bu A’s happy days, are coming.” “I will rule a territory, build a grand castle, filled with thousands of beautiful women. I’ll sleep with a different one every day, haha…” Bu A’s body vibrated, and his armor instantly shattered into dust. At the same time, primal energy condensed into a battle armor on his body. Then, *whoosh*, he transformed into a streak of light and flew directly towards Wei Yan Fortress. … Luo Feng stood in mid-air, looking down at the distant mountain range. “The Raging Flame Mountain Range, the target is within.” Luo Feng gazed into the distance. “To have attracted the attention of the Ancestral God Sect’s ‘Ancestral God,’ is it a life form, or a wondrous item?” He had casually helped Bu A earlier, but that was long forgotten. He had simply needed to understand the situation of the world around his target, and he had chosen Bu A because he seemed agreeable, a small compensation for browsing his memories. According to Bu A’s memories, the mountain range ahead was called the ‘Raging Flame Mountain Range,’ and a great Legend resided within it! “A Legend?” Luo Feng shook his head with a smile. Although the Jue An Continent was in a Cosmic Secret Realm, because Yuan Ao Master had wantonly allowed its inhabitants to multiply, leading to overpopulation, the cosmic energy available to each individual was scarce. Furthermore, the races Yuan Ao Master had plundered were relatively weak and lacked great potential. Thus, most life forms on the Jue An Continent were not much stronger than adult Earthlings upon reaching maturity. First-tier to Third-tier were below Planetary Level. Fourth-tier to Sixth-tier were Planetary Level. Seventh-tier to Ninth-tier were Star Level. A Saint… was Universe Level! A Legend… was a Domain Lord! A Demigod… was a Sector Lord! And a God was naturally an Undying. “There’s definitely more than one Legend residing in this Raging Flame Mountain Range.” Luo Feng thought to himself, already faintly sensing the fluctuations of divine power. “Once I make my move, the target won’t be able to escape.” Luo Feng’s expression grew serious. … The Raging Flame Mountain Range stretched for millions of kilometers, inhabited by powerful demonic beasts, ensuring that no commoners lived within tens of thousands of kilometers of its surroundings. Deep within the Raging Flame Mountain Range. A black castle, built entirely of black stone, stood in the center surrounded by numerous peaks. Below the entire black castle, boiling lava flowed, and exotic beasts could be seen living within the magma. Along the castle walls stood golden-armored Knights, each a Ninth-tier Knight, capable of occupying a large territory in the outside world. The castle was encircled by lava, with a black metal bridge connecting the gate to the outside. A white-robed elder approached from a distance, each step covering hundreds of meters. A faint white light flowed around him; anyone with enough experience would recognize this as a ‘Legend’ possessing a domain. This Legend quickly walked onto the bridge. “Open the city gate,” the elder commanded. “Yes.” The city gate rumbled open slowly. Standing at the gate was a Knight engulfed in flames, who was also a Legend. “Why are you here?” the Flame Knight asked. “Don’t you know not to come here unless it’s urgent?” “I have urgent military intelligence to report to the great Bowa God.” The white-robed elder quickly advanced into the black castle. … Inside a grand hall deep within the castle. A god radiating endless light sat high on a throne. Bowa God looked down at his kneeling servants, listening to their reports, yet feeling a sense of supreme control. After all, the bloody conflicts of the numerous empires within the billions of kilometers of territory he commanded were merely his manipulation from the shadows. He manipulated the deepening hatred between empires, making everything spiral into madness. Only when things became utterly uncontrollable would he appear… to display his divine majesty. “You have done well,” Bowa God finally spoke. The white-robed elder, prostrate below, was so moved he shed tears. The great god had actually praised him! The white-robed elder waited for Bowa God’s instructions for the next course of action, but then felt a flash of hazy golden light. When he looked up, he was astonished to find… “Where is Bowa God?” The Bowa God, who had been radiating endless light on the throne, had vanished into thin air. The other attendants in the hall, including three Demigods, were slightly taken aback. Immediately, one of the Demigods said, “Bowa God has retired. All of you may withdraw.” “But there are no instructions for the next step,” the white-robed elder thought anxiously, though he quickly replied, “Yes.” One by one, everyone quickly left the hall, even the Demigods. They all assumed Bowa God had left instantly for something important. What they didn’t know was… they thought Bowa God had left, but in reality, Bowa God had been sitting on that throne the entire time. It was just that those Sector Lords and Domain Lords suddenly couldn’t see him. “You, who are you?” Bowa God sat on the throne, looking at the man before him in terror. He had never been so terrified in his long years on the divine throne. A hazy golden light enveloped the hundred-meter area around them, and the power contained within this golden light made Bowa God’s heart tremble with fear. Luo Feng looked at Bowa God before him and couldn’t help but mock himself, “To think I was so cautious, immediately deploying my strongest binding technique—the Golden Kingdom—the moment I arrived. I didn’t expect the target to be merely a weak Undying God.” Luo Feng had instantly deployed the ‘Golden Kingdom’ above the Raging Flame Mountain Range. As soon as he deployed it, he realized the target was too weak, so he immediately teleported in front of the target and simultaneously shrunk the range of the ‘Golden Kingdom.’ That’s why the Demigods and the white-robed elder had only seen a flash of golden light. … “Tell me, roughly, the important events from your birth until now,” Luo Feng instructed. “Yes, yes,” Bowa God stammered, “I was born in…” Luo Feng appeared to be listening, but in reality, he had already cast an illusion. His will and consciousness were, after all, at the Universe Master level! And he was a Spirit Reader by origin… although he wasn’t particularly skilled in illusions compared to others at his level. As a powerful practitioner of the Secret Pattern Stream, he had long since created several illusion techniques, easily causing Bowa God to fall completely into an illusion, and his memories were effortlessly searched by Luo Feng. This was because Luo Feng had confirmed through the ‘Golden Toad’ that… the target was indeed this Bowa God! But why would a weak Undying God pose a threat to the Original Universe? Why would the exalted ‘Ancestral God’ of the Ancestral God Sect ask him to intervene? Luo Feng felt something was amiss. He could sense… layers of mist obscuring the truth, and this Bowa God was merely the tip of the iceberg. Therefore, he had to thoroughly search his memories.
