Age of Evolution

Chapter 715: Chapter 718: Immortal Spiritual Body

The so-called Divine Body is actually a type of trait, for example, Lin Zhen’s Divine Body is a Snow Lotus.

Among these Divine Bodies, some are a ball of flames, some are a gust of wind, representing the basic characteristics of the Divine Body.

“What does this mean? Can I choose?”

“That’s right, you got the first place and are eligible for a Super Divine Body reward, but you already have the Snow Lotus Super Divine Body, which is immune to all laws and evil, and is already a top-tier Divine Body. It cannot be combined with another Super Divine Body anymore. As compensation, I will personally help you achieve 100% utilization of Star Power. You won’t lose out.”

Lin Zhen hesitated for a moment. One hundred percent utilization of Star Power was, of course, a very good choice.

Even if the Super Divine Body could only exert 90% of its power, 10% would still be wasted. If it could be fully utilized, it would be better than ever.

However, Lin Zhen still felt somewhat cheated. He said, “This is a Super Divine Body, and you only give me a 10% increase in the Star Power utilization rate. Am I not at a huge loss!”

“You still feel cheated with 100% performance?” The voice seemed slightly angry.

“That’s right, it’s not just feeling cheated, but feeling heavily cheated. These are all Energy Element Bodies, what I need is a special Divine Body, like my Snow Lotus, or something like the Sword Divine Body.”

The voice was silent for a while: “Well, let me give you a chance, but the opportunity to control your fate is in your hands.”

“Please tell.”

Seeing the doubt in Lin Zhen’s eyes, the voice continued: “These Divine Bodies are all Advanced Divine Bodies. Since you got the first kill, you should have an Advanced Divine Body. Now you can choose one from among them. There is one Divine Body that is fully compatible with your Snow Lotus. If you choose the correct one, this Divine Body can also have the power of a Super Divine Body. Can you find it?”

“Were the two people before me given the same opportunity?”

“The last two people before you both got a Divine Body that performed 100% of its power. They didn’t have the choice you have now, and there is only one chance to merge with a Divine Body. If you fail the first time, you won’t be able to merge with another.”

“You mean I might choose the wrong one?”

“That’s right. If you want to acquire the powers of two Super Divine Bodies, you must find the one that is fully compatible. If you choose wrong, you will have nothing to gain. If you want to gain benefits, you must take risks.”

Lin Zhen did not resist this gambling-style choice. To reach the pinnacle, one must take a different path from others. Moreover, he firmly believed that he would not choose wrong.

His gaze fell upon the row of Divine Bodies.

Advanced Divine Bodies are Elemental Divine Bodies, and all these Divine Bodies are extraordinary: Light God Body, Wind God’s Body, Water God’s Body, Fire God’s Body, Thunder God’s Body ….

Lin Zhen looked at each Divine Body, dazzled.

“If I get this Light God Body, my current light elemental power must be greatly enhanced, and perhaps there may be other clever uses.”

“The Gold God Body should increase sharpness, which would be of great help in battles.”

“This Thunder God’s Body, can it help me speed up the cultivation of Destructive God Thunder? I only have one divine thunder in the Black Hole now. If it can speed it up, it would be worth it.”

“Fire God’s Body might help me achieve bright blue Flame Power. Maybe then I could advance to a Seventh-grade Alchemist. This could be the most profitable one.”

As he went through each Divine Body, Lin Zhen felt that he might be able to integrate any of the element Divine Bodies because he possessed all elemental energy types.

But the Deity said he only had one chance, which meant many were incompatible with his body and there would be no turning back once chosen wrongly. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Lin Zhen lingered in front of each Divine Body for a while, carefully sensing and understanding them.

Not until he came to a conclusion, whether it’s feasible or not, would he leave.

There were eight Divine Bodies here, covering every type of Energy Element: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, and Light.

Lin Zhen struggled with the eight types of energy elements for a long time, and the voice seemed a bit impatient: “Hurry up, once you’re done here, I have to go and give out Divine Bodies to all the other Martial Artists who made it into the top 100. I can’t waste all my time on you.”

Lin Zhen was unfazed, carefully analyzing the options.

Gold, Fire, and Thunder can be ruled out first – they cannot be compatible with the Snow Lotus.

Earth, Wood, Water, Wind, and Light are all possible, as Snow Lotus is a plant, and these elements are all compatible.

Five kinds could fit, but only one can be chosen, which means the most compatible one must be selected.

After about five minutes of silence, Lin Zhen came to the Water God’s Body.

“I choose this one.”

“Are you sure? Don’t you want to consider others? Plants need soil to grow the most, as well as sunlight, wind, and the energy from the Wood element, right?”

“You’re right, but I feel this one is the most compatible.”

Lin Zhen laughed: “The growth of plants cannot be separated from water, and water is the most variable. It can be water, ice, frost, or snow. Since it is a Snow Lotus, the compatibility must be the highest.”

“Have you made up your mind? Won’t change your mind?”

“A gentleman’s word is his bond. I hope the Deity will not go back on his word either.” Lin Zhen confidently said.

The Deity’s voice paused for a moment before he finally laughed, “Hehe! What an interesting little guy. I did not guide you, and even deliberately tried to mislead you, but you did not fall for it. It seems that spending ten months at the North Pole has strengthened your state of mind a lot, and you will no longer be influenced by external things.”

“Thank you for the praise.”

“Since you have made a decision, I would like to congratulate you. The Water God’s Body is compatible with your Snow Lotus Divine Body, as you said, it is the divine body that best fits the Snow Lotus. You have made the right choice.”

“Then please, Deity, keep your promise and give this divine body the special ability of a Super Divine Body.”

“Alright, since I promised you, I will not go back on my word. Lin Zhen, you have gained the Water God’s Body. From now on, your Star Power can be unleashed 100%, and it can also increase your Star Power by a million. As for your special ability, it is your body. Your body can now be called an Immortal Spiritual Body!”

“Immortal Spiritual Body? What does that mean?” Lin Zhen’s tone carried a hint of joy; this name sounded quite impressive.

“Snow Lotus Divine Body has boundless life power, and now after being nourished by water, the healing function of your body will be greatly enhanced, eventually causing a qualitative change to your body.”

“Every part of your body can be said to be strengthened or somewhat ethereal. In simpler terms, during a battle, you won’t suffer significant damage. For example, if your heart gets pierced, or if your throat gets cut — these fatal injuries for others already do not count as fatal injuries for you.”

Lin Zhen’s eyes shone brightly, “So does that mean I cannot be killed during battle?”

“Not that you cannot be killed; there is no life in this universe that cannot be killed. It just means that it will be very difficult for you to be killed; you no longer have a fatal weakness. Unless the opponent blasts you to dust or cuts you into pieces, the organs in your body will quickly recover.”

“I understand. The immortality of an Immortal Spiritual Body means it is difficult to destroy, so how about the Spiritual Body?”

“Hehe! You really have a lot of questions. I’ll tell you altogether. The Spiritual Body refers to your comprehension ability. The higher a Martial Artist’s realm, the more progress you will need to comprehend. Don’t think that just because you can defeat most World Kings now, you are invincible. The universe is so vast that you can never imagine how many geniuses there are. In the late stage, true masters are all comprehended. Having a Spiritual Body will take your comprehension ability to a higher level.”

Lin Zhen nodded slightly. He had never been arrogant or complacent before. Since he had decided to climb to the peak, he had to learn to be awe-stricken.

After the voice finished speaking, the Water God’s Body entered Lin Zhen’s body.

A refreshing water vapor wrapped Lin Zhen from head to toe, instantly cleansing all the impurities in his body, making him feel much clearer all of a sudden.

A stream of clear spring water entered the Dark Star Space, forming a large ocean above the North Pole.

Just like the Arctic Ocean on Earth, it completely surrounded the North Pole where the Snow Lotus was located, creating a unique polar landscape as a cold wind blew over it.

In the midst of the rising water vapor, another million Star Power was injected into the Dark Star Space, allowing Lin Zhen’s strength to progress once more.

Lin Zhen was overjoyed. This time, he had maximized his benefits.

The Star Power of his body increased to nine million, and he could exert it 100%, which was equivalent to an ordinary Martial Artist’s 18 million Star Power!

Even when compared with other Divine Body possessors, Lin Zhen had a significant advantage.

Especially the Immortal Spiritual Body, which greatly enhanced Lin Zhen’s combat power. In future battles, as long as he did not encounter an enemy with too much power difference and basically was invulnerable, Lin Zhen would not fear anyone.

At this time, the voice spoke again, “Mission completed, Lin Zhen. I am full of expectations for your future. I am leaving now, but before I go, let me give you a piece of advice. Martial Artists need to gain experience. A Martial Artist who has grown up in a peaceful environment can never be compared with those who have been through a hundred battles. You need to go out and practice in dangerous places. Only by going through hardships can you grow.”

“Thank you, senior, for your guidance. I will.”

“Alright… Goodbye!”

“Hey~! You haven’t told me your name yet!”

“When you reach the Longevity Realm, you will have the opportunity to find out who I am!”

As the voice disappeared and Lin Zhen’s body shone with light, he automatically left the Divine Punishment Star.

The next moment, Lin Zhen had already returned to the inn of Nan Liang City, where he first entered the Divine Punishment Star.

“After more than a year, I’m finally back.”

Lin Zhen took a deep breath. Although he was concerned about Ning Qingxuan’s situation, Ning Qingxuan might not have returned by now.

If he had won the first place in the Divine Punishment Star, other empires would surely have rewarded him greatly. But in Nan Liang, Lin Zhen had no confidence in getting the reward.

Would Emperor Liang Zhihuan reward him?

Maybe he should go ask.
