Gu Cheng looked at Luo Hao's reply in the "All Heavens Chat Group," and a playful smile appeared on his lips.
As expected.
Although Luo Hao agreed readily on the surface.
She actually harbored some dissatisfaction.
But.
Gu Cheng didn't mind this at all.
After all, whether it's a black cat or a white cat.
As long as it can help him catch mice.
Then it's a good cat.
Gu Cheng smiled and exited the "All Heavens Chat Group."
“Ding——!”
But.
At this time.
Suddenly.
Accompanied by a clear notification sound.
The skill "Genius-Level Comprehension" took effect again.
Gu Cheng felt a surge of vast information flowing into his mind.
【You have triggered it by traveling through numerous worlds, your spiritual power has increased tremendously, giving birth to “Divine Will”.】
“Divine Will?”
Gu Cheng's heart skipped a beat. He instinctively closed his eyes and began to perceive the changes brought by the "Divine Will."
The next moment.
Gu Cheng clearly felt his spiritual power increasing.
And the improvement in his perception of things around him.
This feeling was like gaining a "sixth sense."
Allowing him to clearly perceive subtle changes in the surrounding environment.
He could even sense energy fluctuations that were invisible to the naked eye.
“This is Divine Will…”
And.
As Gu Cheng opened his eyes, a glint flashing in them, he muttered to himself.
Suddenly.
A giant figure flew across the sky.
A wave of energy emanated from it.
Gu Cheng looked up, staring at the sky.
As he used his "Divine Will" to carefully perceive the changes in the sky.
A powerful aura was approaching him.
The next moment.
Gu Cheng's peripheral vision caught the giant figure.
The giant figure was entirely green, like a bolt of lightning, streaking across the sky, its speed was unbelievable.
And when Gu Cheng's pupils shrank abruptly, relying on his "Divine Will."
He saw the true face of the giant figure.
He found that it was a green Western dragon!
The dragon's body was enormous, almost obscuring the sky and the sun, it shuttled through the clouds, emitting low roars.
Mythical creatures actually exist in this world.
And, it's such a huge dragon!
What surprised Gu Cheng even more was that this green dragon seemed to have placed a protective layer on itself, preventing anyone from seeing it with the naked eye.
If he didn't have Divine Will.
He wouldn't have been able to detect the green dragon's movements.
“This is… Thor?”
Gu Cheng muttered to himself, watching the dragon slowly descend on the hillside.
Now, after Gu Cheng used his Divine Will to see through the protective layer Thor placed on herself.
Gu Cheng gazed at Thor who landed on the mountain, feeling a surge of surprise.
As he saw.
The dragon-form Thor was emerald green all over, her scales shone with a metallic luster, her gigantic body was like a small mountain.
Even the gentle flapping of her enormous wings stirred up a gust of wind, swirling up a flurry of sand and stones.
However.
Although Thor maintained her dragon form, looking extremely majestic and powerful.
On her dragon back, however, a golden long sword was deeply embedded in her dragon scales.
The blade shimmered with a sacred glow, as if it contained immense power.
So much so that it caused a hint of helplessness to appear in Thor's golden eyes.
“This is… the Godly Sword?” Gu Cheng furrowed his brows, pondering to himself.
He could sense the energy fluctuations emanating from the sword, it was an extremely powerful force.
And it also emanated a sacred aura.
…
Gu Cheng looked at the green dragon.
Although he wasn't sure if the dragon was actually Thor.
But looking at the dragon, it seemed to be badly injured.
Moreover, that golden long sword looked like it was forcibly inserted into the dragon scales, it seemed someone did it deliberately.
Gu Cheng had doubts in his heart.
But he still decided to go up and investigate.
After all, he already possessed "Divine Will."
He could perceive subtle changes in the surrounding environment.
He was more confident about his own safety.
Secondly.
“Telekinetic Barrier” would continue to be maintained even if he suddenly fell unconscious.
Thinking about this, Gu Cheng immediately set off and walked towards the mountain.
…
?As Gu Cheng appeared in front of the green dragon.
Gu Cheng looked at her, and lightly greeted her.
“Hello.”
“Ugh… Ugh…”
The dragon seemed to hear Gu Cheng’s greeting, and she opened her eyes.
But.
She let out a muffled roar, seemingly in pain.
She struggled to move.
But.
The golden long sword seemed to be hindering her movements, preventing her from moving, she could only let out painful moans.
“It seems the power of the Godly Sword temporarily suppressed her…”
Gu Cheng thought to himself, then pointed at the golden long sword, and said again:
“Are you okay? This sword seems to be stuck very deep.”
“Um… Ugh…”
The dragon still let out low roars, as if trying to respond to Gu Cheng.
But.
Because of the Godly Sword stuck in her, she couldn't speak.
She could only let out painful growls.
Gu Cheng shook his head after seeing this.
He didn't say anything more, but concentrated his telekinesis into two invisible hands, gently lifting the dragon's massive body, slowly lifting it from the ground, and then flying towards the dragon's back.
The dragon sensed Gu Cheng's actions, seemingly realizing his kindness, and didn’t attack, only letting out a painful groan.
Gu Cheng stood on the dragon's back, looking down at the golden long sword stuck in the dragon's scales.
The sword was slender and long, with exquisite carvings on the hilt, it emitted a sacred glow.
Gu Cheng could clearly feel the powerful force contained in the sword.
“Do you want me to pull it out?” Gu Cheng said softly.
The dragon seemed to understand Gu Cheng's words, she turned her head, and looked at Gu Cheng with her golden eyes, with a hint of plea in them.
Gu Cheng nodded, reached out, and grasped the golden long sword's hilt.
“Boom——!”
A piercing metal grinding sound rang out.
Gu Cheng felt a burning pain in his hand, a powerful force was coming from the golden long sword, like a tsunami, it swept towards his whole body.
The golden long sword seemed to sense that Gu Cheng wanted to pull it out.
Immediately, it emitted a deafening humming sound.
The entire sword emitted golden light, a powerful force was like chains, binding Gu Cheng tightly in place.
But.
When Gu Cheng's hands gripped the hilt of the golden long sword.
Everything had already been predetermined.
Gu Cheng felt an immense force surging madly inside his body.
It was a power unlike anything he had ever felt before.
A power that was full of sacred aura, yet also possessed a hint of ferocity.
…
【You successfully pulled out the Godly Sword, and you comprehend the power of the Godly Sword, you have gained the recognition of the Godly Sword — “Eternal Silence”! You also created “Godly Skill”!】
At the same time.
As the system prompt sounded in his mind.
Gu Cheng was holding the Godly Sword — “Eternal Silence” in both hands.
A dazzling light suddenly flashed from his palms.
The next second.
The golden long sword stuck in the dragon's scales vanished.
It transformed into an invisible energy wave, centered on Gu Cheng, and rapidly spread to the surroundings, spreading out like ripples.
The next moment, the mountain peak where Gu Cheng was, and even the entire mountain, seemed to be shrouded in a golden layer of force.
“This is… Godly Skill?!”
A glint flashed in Gu Cheng's eyes, he suddenly understood.
“Godly Skill” was a unique power he gained by pulling out the Godly Sword “Eternal Silence”, it could affect everything around him, causing everything to fall silent, even the flow of time would be affected.
“What a pleasant surprise!”
He who was enduring the impact of “Eternal Silence” just now.
Now, through “Genius-Level Comprehension”, he directly adapted to the power of the Godly Sword, and even became the new owner of the Godly Sword, gaining immense benefits from it.
Thinking of this, Gu Cheng couldn’t help but smile, then he looked back at the dragon, and said softly: “It’s alright.”
“The power of the Godly Sword on you should have disappeared.”
“You can move now.”
“Thank you…”
Hearing Gu Cheng’s words, Thor slowly turned her dragon head towards Gu Cheng, her golden eyes revealed a touch of gratitude.
“But… how did you…” Thor was still weak, she could only mutter softly.
“It was just one of my abilities.” Gu Cheng heard this, and directly chose to casually brush over the topic.
“But, you still need to adjust yourself as soon as possible.”
After saying that, Gu Cheng didn't pay any more attention to Thor.
Instead, he carefully examined the sword.
“Eternal Silence… This Godly Sword… is really a unique existence.”
Gu Cheng gently stroked the blade as he felt the sacred aura emanating from the sword.
“You became the holder of the Godly Sword?”
At the same time
Thor looked at Gu Cheng with her golden eyes, and asked again in a low voice.
“Roughly, from now on, I should be the new owner of this sword.”
Gu Cheng nodded, his tone affirmative.
“But… why?”
Thor seemed to be confused after hearing this, she let out a low roar with a hint of question in it.
“Why?”
“Who knows?”
Gu Cheng chuckled lightly, no longer explaining.
Instead, he put away the Godly Sword.
…
The next second.
The immense power contained within the Godly Sword instantly flowed into Gu Cheng's body.
【You absorbed the divine power of the Godly Sword — “Eternal Silence”…
