I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 1699: Chapter 1700 A Quarter of an Hour Chapter 1699: Chapter 1700 A Quarter of an Hour Skybreaker did not know how fortunate he actually was to have encountered Song Jian and even managed to escape from his hands, which was already luckier than many Saints.

In fact, at that time, Song Jian had the full capacity to kill Skybreaker, though it would have required a certain price. Song Jian was at the critical moment of advancing to the divine level and did not want any extraneous complications, therefore, he spared Skybreaker’s life. Otherwise, Skybreaker would have never lived until now.

On the other hand, after using the essence of law, Song Jian’s previously comprehended Law of Flames instantly advanced to mastery level. At this moment, Song Jian had completely mastered seven powers of law, reaching the peak state of medium divine power. He only needed to master one more power of law to break through the medium divine power realm and advance to the high divine power realm.

For other deities, this step might have taken decades or even a hundred years, but Song Jian, possessing the Paso Fruit Tree, could dramatically shorten this time, even down to just a few days to reach the status of a high-level god if he did not consider the cost. However, doing so would harm future interests and was not advisable.

“I don’t need to wait for long, just a few days for enough faith-based divine power, then I can use the Time Law again to ripen the Paso Fruit Tree. At that time, I can slowly select the power of law that suits me…” Song Jian thought silently.

After mastering the Law of Flames, Song Jian’s Five Elements Escape Skill was also enhanced, with his Fire Escape Skill becoming even more powerful. Simultaneously, there was a vague sense of connection between the Law of Earth and the Law of Flames, similar to when Song Jian was collecting the Sword Immortal set.

“The Five Elements Law, if I control three more laws, I would master the Five Elements Law. By then, the Five Elements Escape Skill might be elevated again, perhaps even surpassing the realm of divine skills!” Song Jian guessed in his mind.

The moment the Law of Flames was fully mastered, the title on the plaque of the Pantheon plunged into chaos once more, a grey vortex reemerging, indicating that obtaining one’s own divine title was not an easy task.

Song Jian’s strength was increasing too rapidly, something unheard of for other deities. Once a divine title was decided, it could not be changed regardless of how much strength was gained in the future, serving, in a way, as a limit to a deity’s power.

Days passed by, and in the blink of an eye, three months had flown by in the Divine World. Nearly two-thirds of the clock on the stepping stone in front of the Pantheon were covered in flames.

Nine deities had already gathered in front of the Pantheon, all of whom possessed Main God Level strength and had their temples situated on the God Mountain Range.

“The seal is about to be lifted, heh, I never thought it would be so difficult to return home!” a two-headed giant laughed heartily, scratching both of his heads with his hands.

This was a deity of the double-headed giant race, simply wrapped in an animal hide, looking like a savage, but none of the other deities dared to underestimate him. Even the Bright God looked at him with a hint of wariness in their eyes.

The double-headed giant race, by virtue of their innate genetics, was much stronger than humans, and they were usually not highly intelligent. Below the Legendary Realm, the double-headed giant race had a natural advantage over other races, but above the Legendary Realm, at the Demi-God and God Levels, it became very rare to find one.

The double-headed giant deity named Xiong Xikai, who was also of Main God Level strength, was equivalent to two deities of the same level joining forces, and they were those with a mind-link and flawless coordination. Therefore, his power was ranked among the top three of the twelve Main Deities of the Pantheon.

Perhaps because he was the only double-headed giant among the twelve Main Deities and rarely competed with others for benefits, he was somewhat inconspicuous within the Pantheon. However, none of the other Main Deities dared to look down on him.

“Kael, even if the Mount of Gods doesn’t forbid it, whether the Pantheon is yours or not is still up for debate. Don’t forget that you are no longer one of the twelve Main Deities,” another deity with a tall stature and long, pointed ears, an Elf, sneered, speaking to one of the two heads of the giant.

This two-headed giant deity named Xiong Xikai had a left head called Xiong Xi and a right head called Kael. It was indeed the right head that had spoken just now.

“Long-eared fellow, even if it were to happen again, I, Kael (Xiong Xi), could still reclaim a position among the twelve Main Deities!” the two-headed giant said fiercely with both heads.

“Then I wish you get what you wish for!” the deity of archery, Lokiciel, said with a slight smile.

Just then, from the highest point of the Mount of Gods, suddenly came a deep, muffled bell toll. The sound of the bell seemed to grab hold of everyone’s hearts, causing unease and nausea, but all the godly powerhouses waiting at the base of the God Mountain Range were instantly invigorated, looking towards the light screen that enveloped the mountains.

True to form, as the bell tolled, the sealing light screen on the surface of the God Mountain Range began to fade more and more, until it eventually disappeared. The moment the light screen vanished, all the deities who owned Pantheons in the God Mountain Range received the same system message simultaneously.

“You have a quarter of an hour to return to your own Pantheon and retrieve your personal belongings. Afterward, all Pantheons will be sealed, and only those deities who secure a position as one of the twelve Main Deities will have the privilege to enter the Pantheon!”

“Damn it, how can a quarter of an hour possibly be enough!” a deity roared in anger while flying.

But such were the rules, and all deities were obliged to abide, so no one dared to challenge the system-imposed regulations at this time!

All Pantheons, having been sealed at the moment of the great catastrophe, remained exactly as they were when the gods departed, with all their furnishings and objects. Yet even so, to think of gathering all the items within a vast Pantheon in just a quarter of an hour was clearly an impossible task–the Pantheon was simply too large.

Within that quarter of an hour, all deities rushed into their own Pantheons like mad, frantically beginning to collect valuable items.

These items were treasures collected over thousands of years by the deities, and losing any single one would cause heartache. But pressed for time, there was no choice but to select the most precious to take with them.

“A quarter of an hour, huh?” A deity dressed in a tailcoat entered the temple, smiled faintly, looked around, and couldn’t help but exclaim, “How nostalgic, memories are everywhere, I hope I can get this Pantheon again next time!”

After speaking, one after another translucent figure walked out from the deity’s body. These translucent figures solidified quickly after leaving his body and looked exactly like the deity himself.
