"Impossible! This is impossible!" Chris collapsed to the ground, muttering incessantly as if he were insane.
Seeing this, Ye Chen shook his head helplessly. It seemed that he wouldn't be able to get the bet this time!
Ignoring Chris and the other lords, Ye Chen looked at Ye Xi and the others who were being purified by the holy light.
As they were showered with holy water imbued with radiant light, a great deal of black mist emanated from their bodies and then dissipated into the air.
This shows that they were indeed tainted with a large amount of dark energy. Even Mina's eyes are still red. After being purified by the holy water, she fell into a deep sleep, which shows that she was only able to stay awake by sheer willpower.
However, when Ye Chen's gaze swept over Mount Tai, he was immediately stunned.
"Who is this?" Ye Chen blurted out. How did such a strange thing infiltrate his clan?
"Huh? I am Mount Tai! Your Majesty, don't you recognize me?" Mount Tai answered subconsciously, clearly unaware of the change in his appearance.
"Holy crap! You're Mount Tai? What happened to you?" Ye Chen was dumbfounded. This is my mountain god?
At this point, Mount Tai no longer resembled its former towering and majestic form.
No, he is still tall, even half a body taller than the other mountain gods, but his size is too disproportionate.
The added half-body was entirely added to the body, and the sudden elongation made his hands and feet appear exceptionally short, making his entire body look extremely disproportionate.
Moreover, faint scales appear on Mount Tai's skin, which is quite different from the human form of the mountain god.
"This? I don't know either. I just absorbed a round of lightning. Oh, but I feel like my control over lightning has become stronger!" Taishan scratched his head and replied.
"Absorbed a round of lightning? What the hell?" Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, then simply checked the other party's attributes and was immediately dumbfounded.

"This? This? It's no longer a mountain god?" Ye Chen murmured to himself as he looked at Mount Tai's attributes.
The race has changed? Is this allowed? Is this considered an advancement of a god? From a mountain god to a thunder god?
"That's not right! Logically speaking, the title of a Chinese deity is just a name. Ultimately, it depends on the individual's strength. There's no reason why changing the title of a god would cause such a big change in strength!" Ye Chen frowned, a hint of doubt rising in his mind.
Mount Tai's advancement this time was too great. Not only did he step into the 4th tier, but his entire talent changed, and even his growth rate increased once. This is not in line with the legends of the prehistoric clans.
"Among all the races in the primordial world, the most important thing is one's origin. How far you can grow should have nothing to do with what kind of god you are, but rather with what your origin is."
"Initially, Mount Tai was just a mountain god, transformed from the mountain itself, with the same origin as the mountain."
"But now, after being tempered by thunder, his bloodline has been refined and purified, which means that his origins have changed."
"And the Thunder God in the primordial world was not like the later Thunder God and Lightning Goddess; he was a genuine ferocious beast from the primordial world."
"Let me think, it has a human head and a dragon's body, and every time it pats its own belly, it produces bursts of thunder."
"So he's advancing towards becoming a Dragon God!"
Ye Chen quickly pieced together the changes in Mount Tai, but at the same time he was shocked by its advancement. He never expected that the Primordial Clan could advance in such a way.
At this time, although Mount Tai is only at level 4, his attributes are among the best even among level 4 creatures, and he still has 6 more advancements to go.
He even suspected that if Mount Tai really completed eight advancements, its strength might be even more terrifying than the Three-Legged Golden Crow and the Black Bird. These were all famous primordial beasts, and the Three-Legged Golden Crow had even once ruled the Heavenly Court.
But if you really think about it, Thor's human head and dragon body shouldn't be any worse than these two kinds of birds. After all, he is the God of Thunder in the prehistoric world, which is much stronger than the later Thunder God and Lightning Goddess.
"Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor? Am I alright? Could it be that I absorbed too much dark energy and mutated?" Seeing that Ye Chen hadn't spoken for a long time, Taishan asked fearfully.
The deep, muffled sound, like rumbling thunder, immediately pulled Ye Chen back to reality. Looking at Taishan's worried face, he couldn't help but smile.
"Don't worry, this is a good thing. It has nothing to do with dark energy. It's because your bloodline has changed and advanced, giving you greater room for growth!"
Hearing Ye Chen's words, Taishan and the others around him breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they weren't corrupted by darkness, everything else was fine.
"That's good, you scared me to death! By the way, Your Majesty, this is the Trident of Poseidon! I've retrieved it for you!" Taishan breathed a sigh of relief and handed over the Trident of Poseidon.
The trident had now returned to its normal size, and the lightning on it had receded, making it resemble a delicate halberd, exuding a faint divine charm.
"Taishan, just put him on the ground!" Ye Xi shouted, while looking at Ye Chen, "My lord, this divine weapon is dangerous. It's best if you don't personally take the risk, lest you be injured by it!"
"Danger?" Ye Chen was stunned, looking at the halberd in Tai Shan's hand, unsure whether he should reach out and take it.
But thinking about it carefully, it is, after all, a weapon of the gods, so it is normal for it to be a little abnormal. He is just a mortal, so it is better not to take any risks.
"Oh! Yes, I'm very sorry, this halberd is emitting violent lightning, and its attributes were almost overwhelmed by the sea of lightning. I really shouldn't have put you in such danger!" Taishan withdrew his hand and said with a look of lingering fear. If the lord had died here, he would have been guilty of a thousand deaths.
However, Ye Chen's face darkened upon hearing this. What was going on with everyone? Wasn't it just that he was too weak to wield such a divine weapon? Even the honest mountain god was mocking him!
"Hmph! You can have it then! Just don't turn from Thor into Poseidon again!" Ye Chen raised his head, looking arrogant. As long as he held his head high enough, his tears wouldn't fall...
P.S.: One more chapter will be later. I'm meeting my parents during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I'm so nervous!
