I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 1679: Chapter 1680: Divine Body Chapter 1679: Chapter 1680: Divine Body A player ascending to the True God realm–such news sounded like a fantasy, but it had indeed happened.

In the City of Hope, Song Jian’s body shone like crystalline glass, dazzling with blinding light as the Power of the Time Law and the Law of Flames reflected off each other, rippling gently like waves.

“Is this the True God realm?” Song Jian clasped his hands, feeling the surging power within him.

With a flash, Song Jian’s figure disappeared, and within the Shattered Divine Realm, he stood like a towering giant, looking around at everything.

At this moment, Song Jian finally felt how cramped the Shattered Divine Realm was, as if there were no place to even stretch his limbs.

Song Jian tried to shrink his size, but within the Divine Country, it seemed some power was restraining him, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t shrink in the slightest.

“Could this be the price for ascending to the True God realm?” Song Jian muttered softly as he looked around the Divine Country, which seemed like a land of Lilliputians.

Boom–
As he spoke, the sky rumbled like thunder, suddenly condensing into a dark cloud that enshrouded the entire Divine Country.

Nova gazed up at the colossal Song Jian, her eyes filled with a look of despair.

“How could it happen so quickly? How could he ascend to the True God realm so rapidly? How is this possible…” Nova trembled, feeling utterly hopeless.

After Song Jian’s ascension to the True God realm, his connection with the Shattered Divine Realm deepened. The Divine Country was a system reward given to Song Jian, and all of the contingencies Nova had set up were completely severed. To reclaim this Divine Country, the premise would be Song Jian’s fall, and the realm returning to ownerless territory.

Only then would Nova possibly regain control of this world, but now, as Song Jian ascended to the True God realm, the Shattered Divine Realm began to slowly integrate with him. Once Song Jian fell, this world would shatter like Nova’s previous fall, ceasing to exist.

A deity and a Divine Country were two sides of the same coin, and could no longer exist separately!

Standing within the Divine Country, Song Jian seemed to sense something and turned to look in Nova’s direction.

This was a plantation of divine-level plants. Previously, there had been only one divine-level plant, but now the plantation was teeming with a large expanse of grapevines, lush and growing well, with a group of sprites diligently tending to these delicate lives.

Nova didn’t stand out among these sprites, and Song Jian merely glanced over them casually before turning his attention back to himself.

Although he didn’t understand why his body had suddenly grown after entering the Divine Country, this did not hinder Song Jian from controlling it.

He could sense that since ascending to the True God realm, the Divine Country seemed to be slowly undergoing some inexplicable changes, and the connection between himself and the Divine Country seemed to be deepening.

With this thought, Song Jian couldn’t help but look towards the edge of the Shattered Divine Realm, where there was an Abyss. The continent resembled a broken biscuit, with irregular edges. Everything within the Divine Country, once close to this Abyss, would plummet, resulting in an isolation zone at the edge spanning over a hundred meters.

Song Jian bent down, reaching his hand towards this edge, and quickly felt a sharp aura continually slicing at his palm.

“Open for me!”

Song Jian roared, and with his right fist, he punched towards the edge!

Boom–
With a booming sound, the edge of what appeared to be a mist-enshrouded Abyss revealed an outer wall, and Song Jian, with a punch, created cracks in the chaotic wall.

The endless gales blew in through the cracks, sweeping in like a typhoon towards the inner parts of the Divine Country.

Song Jian’s expression changed; he had merely wanted to see what lay beyond the edge, not anticipating that his action would break the wall of the Divine Country and unleash a burst of chaos wind.

Hurriedly, Song Jian reached out to seal the cracks he had just opened, which slowly alleviated the gales within the Divine Country.

However, a sharp pain transmitted from the palm of his hand, making it clear that his palm alone was not enough to close the breach.

At this moment, within the Divine Country’s reserves, the value of divine power began to decline slowly. A dark gold glow converged towards the position of Song Jian’s palm from all directions, and in short order, the original cracks were sealed by the dark gold light. Song Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly withdrew his hand.

Now, a scar like a bolt of lightning appeared on the palm of Song Jian’s hand, a wound caused by the chaos wind. Although it was small, it had penetrated the defenses of Song Jian’s divine body, causing a shiver in his heart.

“Consumed twelve points of divine power,” Song Jian observed the depletion of his divine power with a twinge of pain. Although he had ascended to the True God realm, he did not know how to condense divine power; the divine power he had was diminishing with every use.

“I absolutely must not use the divine power within the Divine Country until I find a way to condense it,” Song Jian thought to himself.

Through the experience of repairing the outer wall of the Divine Country, Song Jian came to place even greater importance on the role of divine power. In his view, as long as he had sufficient divine power, the Divine Country would be safe from any danger. Should it deplete too quickly or run out completely, the dangers to the Divine Country would likely follow one after another.

Song Jian glanced at the shattered edge and couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

Just then, a system prompt suddenly appeared before Song Jian:
System: Do you wish to repair the shattered edge of the Divine Country? Yes/No
System: Repairing the shattered edge requires one hundred and thirty points of divine power!

System: Do you wish to expand the area of the Divine Country? Yes/No
System: Expanding the area of the Divine Country requires five hundred points of divine power per square meter! Note: Divine Country edges must be repaired before expansion can occur!

…

“So, divine power can be used to repair and expand the Divine Country?” A look of surprise appeared on Song Jian’s face. He had visited this edge countless times before, and the system had never provided prompts, but now that he had ascended to the realm of True God, the system promptly offered suggestions. Clearly, both repairing and expanding the Divine Country required the user to possess the strength of a True God!

Song Jian glanced over at the Altar of Faith. By now, there were over a thousand points of Power of Faith in the altar, but alas, only a few points could be transformed into divine power. The efficiency and speed of conversion were too slow to rely on as a regular means of generating divine power!

“Now that I’m in the True God realm, I can touch upon the concept of divine power, but as a newly promoted deity, I still don’t know the specific methods. If I had known earlier, I would have shown mercy during the hunt of those two brothers, leaving one alive…” Song Jian contemplated internally.

However, if he had truly shown mercy, and once they had broken the seal, they would not have shown any to Song Jian. Besides, there was no guarantee that they would reveal to Song Jian how a True God generates divine power.

As Song Jian pondered over how divine power could be generated, a system message suddenly appeared before his eyes, bringing a smile to his face, and his figure instantly vanished from the Divine Country.

“The tenth deity has finally emerged!” Song Jian’s deep voice echoed within the Divine Country.
