[You feel you have completely controlled yourself now. Just avoid excessive contact with human blood, or wait until you've cultivated your martial will and can suppress the impulses caused by the Blood Essence Fusion Technique before engaging in contact.]
[By then, even if they come into contact with human blood, they will definitely be able to control themselves and not absorb too much, thus preventing the loss of the lychee.]
This technique has some strong side effects, but you can take it slowly.
You stand atop a low hill, eyes closed, contemplating nature in tranquility. But suddenly, this atmosphere is shattered. You look towards a spot where a fire is lit.
[That direction leads to the fishing village where you first came to this continent... You suddenly remember something you've been avoiding for the past month: the five people you killed were sent by the "monarch" of this vast region.]
[Because they activated the Blood Essence Fusion Technique, causing you to briefly go berserk and experience memory loss, you've tried to avoid thinking about them for the past month. However, this has led you to overlook the fate of that fishing village.]
When you used your light-footed skills to rush to the fishing village at full speed, there was no timely rescue as in the previous simulation. You only saw corpses everywhere, and the air was thick with the smell of blood.
There were about 30 soldiers, dressed in bamboo armor and carrying some kind of metal blade or spear. By this time, they had finished slaughtering the village and were laughing and joking as they stabbed the corpses with their knives and spears.
[Some people strung heads together and tied them to their gun barrels, like actors performing a theatrical spear dance, drawing cheers from the other soldiers as they waved them. You saw one of the heads; it was the head of the girl named Xiaoye, your "divine attendant priestess."]
The soldiers quickly spotted you, grinning cruelly as they ran towards you.
The stench of blood is overwhelming; you're starting to lose control, crimson blood welling in your eyes. If you turn and leave now, you might still be able to stay conscious and hold onto your will.
"Oh no," Yun Shou muttered.
But you don't want to leave just yet. You've lived in this fishing village with the fishermen for almost a year. Since they regard you as a god and worship you, you should naturally fulfill your duties as a god.
You have no power to resurrect, but you possess the power of revenge.
[As you make your decision, a soldier's iron blade is already slashing towards your shoulder. He wasn't satisfied with killing too quickly earlier; this time he'll spare one to have some fun before killing him.]
After all, each village is an important asset for the monarch. If one wants to slaughter freely, either a village must rebel, or the enemy monarch's territory must be conquered, and the monarch must burn, kill, and plunder on that territory.
You raise your hand, and the force, like a long whip, instantly tears the soldier to pieces. You swing your arm, and the force extends more than ten meters, crushing several people deep into their bodies.
The bamboo armor they wore was a joke, like a thin layer of cardboard.
[Your aptitude has increased by 1.2 times, and you are enveloped in a light red aura as you charge towards the other soldiers.]
[Your qualifications have increased 1.35 times, and thirty more worthless, mangled corpses have appeared in the small fishing village. Your eyes are still shrouded in crimson, because the blood of those fishermen on the ground has not yet dried.]
[Your aptitude has increased by 1.51 times, and combined with your 246% increase in foundation, it reaches 3.7 times—an aptitude that is completely beyond imagination. Even the martial arts bottleneck of a Grandmaster cannot stop you in the slightest!]
[At the same time, having achieved minor success in the Blood Essence Fusion Technique, your energy turned a deep red. You devoured the blood, flesh, and vital energy of the entire village, leaving behind a scene of decay. Then, you quietly squatted by the sea, watching the ocean.]
A day later, you stand up, your bones creaking like rocks exploding, followed by sounds as loud as the roar of a tiger or leopard, but you feel that's far from your limit.
You feel you've regained consciousness and are much more awake... although there may have been changes in some deeper aspects.
You leave the coast, preparing to venture deeper into the mainland and officially step into this world, but amidst the countless corpses and rotting bones scattered throughout the fishing village, you spot a strange figure.
The strange man had a pale face and a physique more like a monkey than a human. His hunched back made him only about 1.2 meters tall, further emphasizing his monkey-like appearance.
"Even gods cannot indiscriminately kill mortals, otherwise the world would be in chaos!" the strange man chuckled. "I've long heard that a deity from the Book of Documents has descended to earth here, but I didn't expect him to be so great. He truly lives up to his name in the Book of Documents."
His hands, withered like chicken claws, made rapid grasping motions in the air, producing a whistling sound. Suddenly, he leaped twenty or thirty meters high, launching an attack: "I am Heavenly Claw Monkey, a mere wild god, but I'll test the might of the gods in the annals!"
You watched him fall expressionlessly, casually grabbing the monster's head. With a slight pull, his skull cracked, and his outstretched claws fell limply to his sides.
This monkey-like monster claims to be a wild god, and its strength is indeed considerable, somewhere between a second-rate and first-rate martial artist. It's significantly stronger than the first ragtag mountain god you killed: the black tiger.
[But he's still a weakling in front of you. You're so much stronger now. If Zhao Yuan, who's been chasing you all this time, were to fight you again, the situation would be reversed.]
[You probed your energy into the monkey-like monster's body and discovered that it indeed possessed internal energy, not some strange system like the newly added divine power, but also belonging to the martial arts.]
[However, his meridians and flesh are twisted, which is why his appearance is so strange. You suspect that this monkey-like monster might originally have been a normal human, at most a different race and 1.4 meters tall, instead of looking like a monkey.]
However, the martial arts he practiced gradually altered his body, causing deformities. In the Three Kingdoms period, you might have seen Zhang Xiaoran, the "Red Cliff Hero," who used this type of martial art, but his only effect was skin reddening; it didn't reach such an exaggerated level.
[And the Blood Essence Fusion Technique you are currently cultivating is actually even more outrageous than this Monkey Transformation martial art, because it can modify aptitude, equivalent to recreating one's innate constitution. Once passed down through generations, it will inevitably cause a world-shaking upheaval.]
Having confirmed that this "wild god's" strength originated from martial arts, the energy you probed into his body revealed its sharpness. Moments later, you tossed the desiccated corpse aside, a glint of bloodlust flashing in your eyes.
I wonder if, besides you, there are any other "celestial deities" descending to earth, or if any martial artists are using the name of gods to run rampant in the world.
If so, what are the realms of the other "deities listed in the register," what is the strength of the unorthodox deities, and what about the main deities... are there any Grandmasters?
You smiled bloodthirstyly, eagerly anticipating the future of this life.
Yun Shou only hoped that this generation's old Yun wouldn't get arrogant and wouldn't try to cross borders to kill enemies just because he had multiple times the combat power. It really wasn't worth it. The longer he could survive, the greater the benefits would be.
