I have an Apocalypse City - Chapter 1650

Chapter 1650: Chapter 1651: The New Expansion Pack Chapter 1650: Chapter 1651: The New Expansion Pack Upon seeing the stone platform suddenly appearing before his eyes, and after checking its properties, Song Jian finally realized what that whiff of aura was.

“Faith, could it actually be the Power of Faith provided by those creatures guarding the Posuo Fruit Trees in the fragmented universe?” Song Jian was somewhat surprised but also delighted.

Arranging for people to guard the Posuo Fruit Tree was something Song Jian did on a whim; he never expected that it would actually generate the Power of Faith for him. Although Song Jian knew that the Power of Faith had both its good and bad sides, as long as he didn’t use the power to increase his own level and cultivation, the downsides of the Power of Faith could be overlooked.

“I will simply convert it into divine power and use it as resources to construct the Divine Country…” Song Jian thought to himself.

For true divine level powerhouses, divine power is an extremely precious resource. It can not only increase one’s own level of cultivation but also construct one’s own Divine Country and create divine power coins for trade with others. For divine level powerhouses, divine power is like beauties– one can never have too many.

Song Jian was just at the Demi-God Level and couldn’t generate divine power on his own; he could only plunder it. Now with the Power of Faith, Song Jian could also convert it into divine power himself, and even create divine power coins.

At this moment, within the interface of the Divine Country, resource only listed divine power, but now there was an additional attribute called “Power of Faith.” Feeling the threads and strands of Power of Faith passing through the vortex of the stone platform and converting into the Divine Country’s resources, Song Jian couldn’t help but reveal a smile on his face.

After leaving the Divine Country interface, Song Jian looked at the dozens of creatures worshipping in front of the Tree of Life and felt very satisfied. They must be his first group of worshippers. Perhaps he should pay more attention to this place, and in time, he might even be able to develop a religion of his own.

It is virtually impossible to establish one’s own religion in the game world. Once such an initiative is discovered, it would be labeled as heretical by religions like the Church of Light, followed by endless holy wars. Even if the relationship between Song Jian and the Goddess of Dawn had been good before, once there was a hint of Song Jian establishing his own religion, the Sect of the Goddess of Dawn would probably be among the first to crusade against him.

For Song Jian, the Power of Faith might be just a resource, a bonus, but for those ancient gods who have survived for thousands of years solely on the Power of Faith, it is the very lifeline of their existence, which cannot be tampered with by others!

But in this fragmented universe, the sight of those gods cannot reach here; the layered spatial barriers make it difficult for the power of gods to penetrate. Moreover, the fragmented universes are as numerous as stars, and to locate the specific fragmented universe that Song Jian pays attention to would be impossible, even for a Creator God.

The only flaw in a fragmented universe is that it could collapse at any time, but ever since Song Jian planted a Tree of Life here, that flaw has vanished. The Tree of Life’s greatest function is to stabilize and expand space, and ultimately, even develop into a complete universe.

This is why the Legendary beings of the fragmented universe worship Song Jian so much. No matter how powerful they are, they cannot escape the tragic fate of perishing when the universe collapses and shatters. But after Song Jian planted the Tree of Life here, their fates were completely transformed, leading the creatures of this fragmented universe to spontaneously worship Song Jian, the new god!

In a flash, Song Jian returned to the City of Hope, where the city was bustling with activity. Countless materials were continuously transported to the City Lord Mansion, and the invited magic construction masters were almost all present.

These masters were also very interested in the “Protection of the Ocean God” Magic Array. Although it was a Legendary Level array, it involved the use of a divine level core, and mastering it entirely would give them the qualifications to challenge divine level Magic Arrays.

Just as Song Jian returned from the fragmented universe to the City of Hope, a clap of thunder suddenly exploded in the sky. Then, the sky filled with dark clouds and bolts of lightning streaked across the firmament, as large drops of rain fell from the heavens.

Illusions also began to emerge in the sky, with each giant towering over a hundred feet tall, radiating a divine light that was terrifying to behold. These massive giants sat upon towering thrones, gazing down indifferently at everything below them.

Just then, golden lightnings struck towards them, and the eyes of these giants began to show signs of change, revealing expressions of terror.

They roared loudly, casting fearsome divine skills with a wave of their hands to resist the golden lightnings. However, all their efforts were in vain, unable to withstand the onslaught of the golden lightnings.

The giant bodies, as tall as a hundred feet, began to crack like crumbling mountains, completely shattering into pieces. Even the thrones beneath them broke apart, turning into meteors that plummeted towards the void.

“What, what’s happening?” Everyone was dumbstruck, staring at the illusions in the void.

All the temples in the City of Hope were expelled. If they had still been there, Song Jian would certainly have heard crying emanating from those temples.

Temples in all cities seemed to be caught up in an apocalypse. Tall statues of gods collapsed and shattered, all believers wept without a voice, their eyes revealing a look of despair. Their faith, their only god, had fallen at this moment. What was once an ordinary day had now become the Day of the Fallen Gods!

In the midst of this, a system notification suddenly appeared in front of all players, with every letter bathed in blood-red, giving a chilling sensation to whoever saw it.

System: A player has triggered the Power of Faith system; the game will undergo a system update, after which the expansion, Return of the Gods, will be unlocked!

Expansion Outline: Once, the gods reigned supreme, but now they have been cast down to the mortal realm. Those who fell from their thrones, once losers, have been given another chance to rise! Conspiracy, betrayal, hunting! Divine Flame, divine power, Divine Country! Each legend will forge a piece of their own history, and with each history, a new god will rise!

“The new expansion has been released?” Song Jian, bewildered, looked up at the sky. At this moment, the illusions in the sky began to slowly dissipate, and suddenly countless meteors emerged in the darkened sky, falling towards the mortal world. Each meteor trailed a long tail of flames. Song Jian’s face changed dramatically; he could feel that each meteor was actually a high god, and now as they fell to the mortal realm, the burning flames were actually their condensed Divine Flames!

“Gods falling to the mortal realm, if they could be slain, wouldn’t that mean…” A rush of excitement surged through Song Jian’s heart. In the eyes of the NPCs in the game world, these deities were sacred beings beyond reproach, but to the players, they might as well be colossal bosses, moving treasure troves.

Now many elite players also possessed the strength of the Legendary Realm. To them, these gods falling to the mortal realm were within the realm of being slain, no different from the bosses they had hunted before!

“Chaos has begun,” Song Jian muttered under his breath, just as all players in the game world were struck with darkness in front of their eyes and were kicked out of the game world.
