"Neherkato".

"This name..."

Lacey Bea knows her.

According to legend, Ehkator is the human incarnation of Ehkator, and his existence is almost equivalent to representing Ehkator.

At least that's what the legend says.

What's going on?

Neherkato is dead? The being that represents Eichator is dead?

The term seems somewhat absurd and bizarre.

Or perhaps Luo Heng is reviving her.

The divine power of time is flowing back into Neherkato's body. The position of the god of time is extremely special, and only Neherkato and Ehkato can contain it.

No one else can accommodate the God of Time.

If you try to force it in, it will be rejected by time.

Lu Cang was unsure whether his ability to fuse with the Time Godhood, which would allow him to do so after completing the Perfect Chaos Ritual, would enable him to do so.

Even if he could, Lu Cang had no intention of merging with it.

This position of the Time God was originally prepared for Neherkato.

As the divine position of time gradually flowed back into Neherkato's body.

Neherkato's life force gradually grew stronger.

The power of time accelerated the flow of time in the ritual, making the ritual progress much faster. What would have taken several months to complete was sped up by hundreds of times.

This multiplier is even increasing at an even faster rate.

Nehercato's life force visibly strengthened, his soul revived, his consciousness condensed, and everything was being restored.

The Pool of Fading Gods

This is the Pool of Faded Gods in the abyss, a little-known and mysterious place.

However, even if some people know about it, very few are willing to come here.

Removing one's divine position from oneself is, in most cases, a form of torture. No one would normally want to suffer such torment, and removing one's divine position does not equate to changing that position.

A human woman with a dignified and elegant posture stood by the edge of this blood-filled swamp.

Her blonde hair was dazzling.

Just walking here attracted the attention of countless abyssal creatures around her, but the abyssal creatures around her dared not approach her at all. As soon as they got close to her, they would die in all sorts of bizarre ways.

For example, one might accidentally fall into the Pool of Degeneration and die in agony, losing their divine status.

Or you might accidentally bump into other abyssal creatures that have been inexplicably teleported there, or you might encounter an out-of-control explosion demon and be killed by its inexplicable self-destruction.

Those abyssal creatures with even a modicum of sense realized the woman's danger and no longer dared to approach her recklessly.

"The Pool of Fading Gods".

"Does this mean... I should relinquish my divine status?"

"So that I won't bring misfortune to others?" Yacaticto muttered to himself, his voice low and slightly confused.

She didn't know how she drifted here.

Recalling the previous moments in her mind, she just wanted to avoid encountering Bai Lu.

I just want to get away from it and don't want to encounter the white deer.

Then came drifting in the abyss.

When I came to my senses, I realized that I had arrived at this place without even realizing it.

Yacaticto reached down and touched the blood-filled swamp.

Just by touching it, one can feel the divinity being eroded, and the divine position feels like a burning pain as if the skin is being peeled off.

“Guide me to this place.”

"There probably isn't any other meaning behind it."

Yacaticto shook his head. Since fate had led him to the Pool of Gods, it probably meant that fate had given him this opportunity to choose.

After Lu Cang's death, Yacaticto gradually lost his former composure. Although he still retained his good looks and temperament, he was no longer as spirited as before.

It's like a little girl trying to escape responsibility.

I want to get away from everything.

Perhaps as long as I stay away, everything should move in a positive direction.

Luck that cannot be controlled is not luck at all.

Suddenly, Yacaticto received a strong response from his divine sense: an extremely fast being was approaching his location!

Yakatico didn't even think about it. What good things could suddenly and rapidly approach from the abyss?

He turned around, raised his hand, and unleashed a golden light.

【Unknown Changes (Eight Stars)】 - Randomly unleashes a skill of any star rating from 1 to 8. The skill type is completely random, and the effect receives a massive boost of at least 5 times (regardless of whether it is an enemy or an ally)

This skill is a random skill that doesn't distinguish between friend and foe.

If a random buff skill hits an enemy, it will also take effect, and the buff will be five times stronger than before.

Compared to other random methods that at least specify a skill type.

This randomness is even stronger.

However, the golden light that was unleashed surprised Yacaticto, because it was not an attack skill, but a blessing skill.

-----------------

[Radiant Blessing: Infuses the target with a blessing, increasing their curse resistance by level 7]

-----------------

"bless?"

Whoosh!

A dazzling burst of light erupted, and the radiant blessing light bathed Luo Jiutian without causing him any harm. On the contrary, it significantly improved Luo Jiutian's condition.

Luo Jiutian was struck by the unexpected blessing.

I was completely baffled.

He also saw the attack coming from below.

but……

Because he discovered it was a blessing, Luo Jiutian didn't hide.

Otherwise, with his higher-level divine power, Luo Jiutian could have easily dodged this attack.

Because of the restrictions of the illusory realm.

Luo Jiutian carefully restrained his power, trying his best not to let his divine power leak out, including his senses.

Luo Jiutian didn't project his perception too far; he relied more on his eyes to see.

"Humans?"

Luo Jiutian immediately recognized the race of Yacaticto.

Seeing another human in the abyss, Luo Jiutian had some guesses in his mind. He had heard that there were indeed traces of another human in the abyss.

This is what Bai Lu said.

However, the specific details do need to be verified.

"Advance payment".

Whoosh!

At the cost of a slower pace for a period of time, Luo Jiutian gained a faster pace during this period.

Almost instantly, they arrived in front of Yacaticto.

"Replacement and compensation".

buzzing—

The subsequent slower pace was repaid by Yacaticto.

Luo Jiutian's first thought was to prevent Yacaticto from escaping.

I have no intention of attacking, but if the other party runs away as soon as they see me arrive, then even communication will be difficult.

Yacaticto felt the negative effects that were befalling him and frowned slightly; what he had lost was a blessing.

The other party shouldn't be attacking me.

But now it has put itself under a near-complete slowdown.

But when they saw the person's face clearly...

Jacquartto was filled with shock.

"you!"

Statues of emperors throughout history stand tall in the city of Lotvis.

The face of the person before me also seemed familiar.

The previous human emperor, Luo Jiutian.

“Luo Jiutian, right?” Yacaticto asked directly.

When Luo Jiutian heard the other party call out his name, he hesitated for a moment before nodding: "Yes, I am Luo Jiutian, the former human emperor of the human race."

He revealed his identity not to show off.

At this level, it is not uncommon for a clan to have the status of an emperor.

Luo Jiutian did this mainly to make it easier for them to recognize each other.

Upon hearing his reply, Yacaticto slowly tossed the gold coin in his hand, and it landed slowly in Yacaticto's hand.

"Are they enemies or friends?"

Jacquartto did not relax at all just because the other party announced his name.

Instead, he became tense and alert.

Yacaticto was very clear about Luo Jiutian's situation.

Having signed a contract with Ansu and ultimately become Ansu's subordinate, Yacaticto subsequently sought out numerous texts about the Church of Death after entering the Upper Realm.

They also wanted to find out the whereabouts of this once legendary human emperor.

However, with a stroke of luck, the information that Yacaticto ultimately uncovered was that Luo Jiutian had become Ansu's capable subordinate.

It even appeared in the world and carried out some missions.

"He is a friend."

Luo Jiutian released Yacaticto from his restraints.

He replied, “I have broken free from Ansu’s contract and am no longer enslaved by him.”

This is the answer Luo Jiutian gave.

Yacaticto's expression softened somewhat.

Her tone softened slightly as she said, "If that's the case, then that would be wonderful."

"Perhaps our meeting can be considered fate. I am the incompetent human emperor of this generation, Yacaticto."

After briefly confirming Luo Jiutian's safety, Yacaticto introduced himself.

Yacaticto did not feel any threat from Luo Jiutian.

Yacaticto said thoughtfully, "I would like to hear your detailed account of what happened to you, so that perhaps I can be of some help."

Ansu Mausoleum

With Neherkato accelerating time, her recovery was also exceptionally rapid.

The ceremony was completed in its final stage in no time.

Neherkato sat up from the coffin.

Although her eyes were closed and she had no expression, one could still feel her innate noble majesty.

A noble being born to control time.

She opened her eyes.

At this moment, the God of Time also completely merged with her.

He didn't go through any mortal process at all, and directly gained demigod power.

Neherkato glanced at Luo Heng.

A smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

But he just gave a soft hum and didn't say anything more.

She then clasped her hands together and raised them high, and the power of time flowed into her body. Before long, she returned to the power of the demigod.

What others see as a difficult promotion is as easy as eating and drinking for Neherkato.

That's true, though.

Nehercatto simply reclaimed his power from the past.

It doesn't require any upgrade process.
