Chapter 486: The Divine War Concludes, Inheriting Divinity!

Transformed into a Shadowy Spider, endless webs continuously erupted from the Mother of the Nest Worms’ body, spreading relentlessly through the void.

The spider silk blanketing the cosmos slowed Mu Lin’s movements, every strand connected to the greater web. A single entangled thread allowed the entire rooted network to pull against him, forcing Mu Lin to wrestle with the fabric of reality itself whenever he strained against the silk.

Mu Lin felt torn between relief and frustration. The laws of decay and silence affected both him and the Mother of the Nest Worms, limiting the spider’s web coverage. Had this restriction not existed, Mu Lin would’ve faced not merely a corner of the void, but the entire world – for this evil god could weave nests from planets and drape civilizations in silk.

Yet even constrained, the webs caused Mu Lin endless grief. Each entanglement required bursts of Purifying Light to dissolve. The silk’s unnatural durability forced brief cleansing delays – enough for the Mother of the Nest Worms to strike with whip-like appendages, spear-tipped legs, or crushing bodily impacts.

His body broke repeatedly. Organs ruptured. His skull shattered multiple times. None of it mattered. Unless annihilated completely – every cell eradicated – Mu Lin could convert injuries into calamity through his Calamity King gift, then restore himself using powers of life.

This vicious cycle made him an unkillable pest, rising battered but unbroken after each assault to continue the deadly dance.

The tactic wasn’t flawless. Each regeneration demanded massive energy reserves – a fatal weakness against True Gods. But Mu Lin’s controlled nuclear fusion rendered this trivial.

"You. Can’t. Kill. Me!"

Countless brutal exchanges left both combatants battered. The Mother of the Nest Worms’ shadow form traded crystalline shell defenses and fire immunity for grappling capability. Now vulnerable, explosive solar feathers and concentrated sunfire punches scorched her spider-body.

A god humiliated by a mortal. Rage contorted the thousand-eyed horror.

"HUMAN! DIE!"

A thousand glowing eyes fixed on Mu Lin. Destruction Divine Light – soul-rending gaze attack. Mu Lin’s spirit fractured under the assault as the spider-god sneered:

"Flesh mends through life’s power. But can your broken soul recover?"

This naturally… wasn’t possible.

This was also why Mu Lin claimed the Goddess of Life paled compared to Nuwa—her creations struggled to develop strong souls, let alone become the world’s protagonists.

While the powers of life couldn’t heal soul wounds, Mu Lin had never depended solely on them to survive.

“Injuries—transfer!”

“Buzz!”

As a Substitute Paper Figure crumbled, the cracks in Mu Lin’s soul vanished.

“I told you. You can’t kill me.”

Reborn with vigor, Mu Lin lunged at the Shadowy Spider again.

Their battle dragged on—Mu Lin repeatedly wounded, then healed, locked in stalemate.

After mauling Mu Lin thousands of times and “killing” him over a hundred, the already-deranged Mother of the Nest Worms grew more frenzied at his unyielding vitality.

“Why won’t you die?!”

“I told you. You can’t kill me!”

As Mu Lin declared, he’d finally earned the right to join the divine war.

Yet participation alone wasn’t enough to sway its tides. Time favored his foes—not from lacking energy or paper substitutes, but because the Shadowy Spider evolved mid-battle.

It shed its shadowy form, crystallizing into a light-devouring monstrosity.

Worse yet, other Evil Gods joined the assault—True Lords were few. Their past advantage lay in retreating to the Xuanling world to recover, while Evil Gods wore themselves out.

The alien deities weren’t united either; weakened gods risked being devoured by rivals. This infighting let True Lords hold the line.

But Mu Lin’s rise united the alien deities for the first time. Even combined, breaching the Xuanling world seemed doubtful—yet Mu Lin’s godlike divine body faced annihilation.

This stirred the Goddess of Life to act—until Mu Lin’s voice echoed through her Divine Kingdom:

“Let them have the body they crave.”

A deception. When the Giant of Light faltered, that avatar would ignite into a great sun, incinerating all.

As for how Mu Lin could speak in the Spirit Flower Garden while fighting outside? Simple—both were avatars. Even if every external Mu Lin perished, his true self within the Xuanling world remained safe.

The Goddess of Life knew this. Still, her gaze lingered on the divine body infused with Celestial Spirit tribe blood—a masterpiece she loathed to lose.

"Is it really okay to abandon such a powerful body?"

Mu Lin chuckled at this. "Doesn’t matter. I’ve memorized that body’s genetic code. Given time, I can recreate it."

This demonstrated science’s true strength – not relying on mystical luck, but replicable methods. Once successful, science could repeat triumphs endlessly.

As they spoke, another evil god approached the Giant of Light. Trapped with no escape, the doomed body erupted in ultimate brilliance through self-destruct.

"BOOM!"

Flames and radiance flooded the battlefield. The massive energy release briefly cleaned up some chaotic laws before being overwhelmed again by True Lords’ domains.

Some evil gods shrieked for Mu Lin’s death while alien deities wore grim expressions. The mad ones only knew destruction, but the wiser understood – killing clones merely slowed Mu Lin’s growth without solving anything.

Yet they remained helpless. Human True Lords weren’t fools either. They specifically targeted intelligent alien deities, fighting so fiercely they made these cautious enemies flinch. Both sides possessed resurrection abilities, but differently.

Backed by Xuanling world’s resources, True Lords could revive multiple times. Drifting evil gods lacked such support, their limited resurrection chances dwindling in the void. Worse, prolonged dormancy risked being devoured by rivals.

Using suicidal tactics, True Lords kept smart enemies at bay while mad gods focused on Mu Lin’s Giant of Light. The battle concluded when the luminous titan self-destructed, allowing the Goddess of Life’s Divine Kingdom to reach human borders.

Another Mu Lin emerged from Xuanling world. After thanking the battle-worn True Lords, he didn’t enter Spirit Flower Garden immediately. Scanning hostile alien deities, he memorized every murderous mad god’s appearance before stepping into the Divine Kingdom.

His cold stare made True Gods uneasy. Though still weak, none dared ignore him now.

"Troublesome…"

"Failed to kill him, made eternal enemy instead…"

"Must eliminate him before…"

Unaware of external whispers, Mu Lin entered Spirit Flower Garden to claim divine station and powers of life. As planned, he merged this with Lord of Mount Tai’s position.

"Hell has Yan Wang and Emperor of Fengdu. The Heavenly Techniques of Darkness offers vast potential."

"With life powers completing Lord of Mount Tai’s earthly authority, only heavenly dominion remains vacant."

Mu Lin already had plans.

"My Giant of Light form could become the great sun, commanding starlight as Emperor."

"Thus completing Trinity – Heaven, Earth, and Humanity."
