I have an Apocalypse City - Chapter 1560

Chapter 1560: Chapter 1561: The Fall Chapter 1560: Chapter 1561: The Fall The Temple Holy Spirit died, and even its corpse was drained by Song Jian until all three points of its Divine completely vanished. Song Jian’s gaze once again fell upon the Divine Flame held in the hands of the Goddess of Harvest’s statue.

What is the Divine Flame?

How should the Divine Flame be used?

Can it be devoured?

Song Jian knew none of these things. He only knew that the Divine Flame was something incredible, perhaps the most precious treasure in the entire instance, and the sole benefit one could obtain when pioneering the instance.

Once the instance was fully open, if one could clear the true difficulty of the instance, perhaps one could obtain the Divine Flame as well, but by then, the Divine Flame might be a unique attribute. Even if it wasn’t unique, the chance of it dropping could be one in ten thousand, or even one in a hundred thousand. Song Jian could even imagine a group of players at the Legendary Realm going crazy, grinding the instance day after day, just to get the Divine Flame and advance to the Demi-God Level.

Thinking of that scene, Song Jian couldn’t help but laugh out loud. But now, the Divine Flame belonged to him.

Song Jian leaped onto the statue, preparing to claim the Divine Flame, but before he could get close, he felt a scorching wave of heat rushing toward him.

In an instant, Song Jian felt a chilling horror and instinctively dodged backward.

When Song Jian looked at the Divine Flame again, it began to slowly condense, eventually turning into a pale gold crystal the size of half a palm.

“Is this…” Song Jian was stunned, suddenly realizing that he might have mistaken it earlier. Was this object not the Divine Flame, but simply a pale gold Divine Crystal?

Just then, Song Jian suddenly heard a sigh near his ear.

“Mortal…”

Song Jian’s hair stood on end, and a vast divine might enveloped him. In an instant, the Time Domain unfolded, protecting him tightly, but it lasted for less than three seconds before the Time Domain was compressed back into Song Jian’s body.

This was the first time Song Jian encountered a situation where the Time Domain was overwhelmed. In previous battles, even against Demi-God Level opponents, the Time Domain could keep him safe.

“A Divine-level, a true Divine-level strong being…” Song Jian immediately realized, only a true Divine-level strong being could have such profound Power of Law to negate his Time Domain.

“Who exactly are you?” Song Jian shouted loudly, looking around as his senses felt like a small boat struggling to stay afloat in the overwhelming might of the Divine.

“This is my temple, this is my Divine Domain, who do you think I should be?” The voice spoke again: “Could it be that you broke in here without making any preparations in advance?”

A light laugh reached Song Jian’s ear, sounding as if a young girl was whispering right beside him.

“Goddess of Harvest?” Song Jian’s heart almost leapt out of his throat.

Wasn’t the Goddess of Harvest proclaimed to have fallen? Why would she appear?

“Correct, I have indeed fallen!” As if knowing what Song Jian was thinking, the voice sighed again, “I was too badly injured to hold on for much longer and had to fall. All my subordinate deities have also fallen, many have been completely annihilated, but only two of the most powerful deities retained a trace of divinity, saved by me. Unfortunately, thousands of years have passed, and still, they fell into decline, succumbing to the temptation of the Abyss…”

“Mortal, it’s clear to see that you possess the qualifications to embark on the path to godhood. You just need to take one step forward to tread on this path…”

“However, that step isn’t easy to take. Countless prodigies and geniuses have perished on this very step. Succeed, and you become a god; fail, and you are eradicated completely, without even the chance to start over…”

The words of the Goddess of Harvest flowed gently like a stream into Song Jian’s heart. All his initial apprehensions, wariness, and hostility dissipated with these words of the Goddess of Harvest.

Song Jian’s heart had already begun to consider the Goddess of Harvest as a comrade.

But the moment this thought arose, the innate skill “Immortal Golden Body” in his skill bar suddenly burst into golden light.

A piercing scream rang in Song Jian’s ears, jolting him back to reality.

“What was I…”

Song Jian broke out in a cold sweat. Everything that had happened was vivid in his mind. Without sound or warning, he had been enchanted. No, this was not mere enchantment. It was a hundred times more sophisticated than any charm skill; there was no threat, no alarm, just an acceptance of the other from the bottom of his heart.

“How could this be…” Song Jian looked towards the statue of the Goddess of Harvest with caution and noticed that the once kind-faced and benevolent statue now wore a ferocious expression, as malevolent as that of an Evil God.

At the same time, a crack more than a foot wide opened on the forehead of the Goddess of Harvest’s statue, and a black eyeball emanating an evil aura slowly emerged from the gap.

“Who exactly are you!” Song Jian gripped the Sky-breaking Sword tightly and shouted loudly.

“Who am I, hahaha, I am the Goddess of Harvest, this is my Divine Domain, my temple; who else could I be!” A proud laugh filled the air, no longer resembling the kind and affectionate voice from before.

“She’s fallen!” A flash of insight suddenly crossed Song Jian’s mind. This was the Divine Fall Land of the Goddess of Harvest, and the name of the dungeon was Divine Fall Land. It was impossible for the Goddess of Harvest to revive, much less to transform into an Evil God.

“You are just a wisp of Divine Thought of the Goddess of Harvest; you, like the Temple Holy Spirit, have been tempted by Abyssal Hell and fallen!” Song Jian roared.

“Fallen? No, this is not falling. I have gained a rebirth, I have revived!”

Boom~
The entire statue suddenly came to life, ablaze with black flames. The once sacred statue slowly transformed into a woman clad in a black dress. Despite her face being identical to before, her eyes and expressions were filled with temptation, and her clothing was much more revealing, making her appear as if she were a succubus from Abyssal Hell itself.

“Mortal, surrender your soul, your Domain Power, and I will grant you eternal life!” The towering statue boomed, the bundle of wheat it held now transformed into a long whip covered in barbs, and the Divine Flame in its other hand had become a black sword.

“Divine Fall!”

This time, without any hesitation, Song Jian unleashed the Divine Fall technique from the Chaos Sword Canon. This move could cause terrifying damage to beings with Divine properties.

Boom~
A Sword Qi, thirty feet long, burst forth from the Sky-breaking Sword, slashing towards the towering statue. The statue, appearing to move slowly yet with incredible speed, swung its barbed whip to curl around the massive Sword Qi.

Merely the pressure made Song Jian feel unstable; he was facing a true deity, who with a casual wave of her hand could unleash earth-shattering power.

“No, it’s not a deity at all, just a monster transformed from a wisp of the Goddess of Harvest’s Divine Thought after her fall!” Song Jian thought to himself.

At that moment, he was no match for a real deity, but if it was merely a wisp of Divine Thought, Song Jian would not take it too seriously.

“Break!”

With a loud shout, the Divine Fall Sword Energy suddenly burst into light, as bright as day within the temple. The terrifying aura, like a surging tsunami, swept towards the towering statue and clashed with the long whip covered in barbs in an instant.
