[Second Update]
The Goddess had left so many temples with the intention of letting those who chose to resurrect her develop believers so that they could live in these temples. Therefore, she had chosen the best materials to build these temples. She had not expected that the person who had to resurrect her would want to tear down these temples.
Gods were not omnipotent. This maxim came from the astrologer.
Salin impatiently arrived at the 23rd temple. The core of this temple was no longer an altar, but a cage — the Divine Power Cage!
The cage was carved entirely out of crystal and was more than thirty meters tall. Countless green divine characters were condensed within the crystal, and they were still flowing. Salin walked to the Divine Power Cage and looked inside.
A tall water elemental creature was trapped in the cage.
This water elemental creature looked like a fox, and the water element all over its body formed fine white fur. It was unknown how long it had been trapped here, but the elemental power in its body had not dissipated.
Salin walked to the cage. The water elemental creature lifted its eyelids to glance at Salin, then closed its eyes again.
This creature's level was very high!
Salin saw intelligence in the water fox's eyes. This thing had been imprisoned, but it did not seem irritable at all. The Goddess did not kill it, so she left it for others.
Salin smiled. Others might want to subdue this water fox, but he had no such intentions. He simply stored the entire cage into the Bestowed Ring. This cage was independent and not connected to the ground. The flowing divine characters in the crystal could not resist the power of the Gift Ring.
Ever since the Gift Ring had received the power of faith from the Nascent God, its space had expanded dozens of times. That was why Salin was not worried about leaving. He had enough divine power.
The water fox immediately panicked. But before it could think of a way to bewitch Salin, Salin had already put it and the cage away.
Taking this thing was also a test for Salin. He needed to be able to control the Divine Power Cage.
The problem was that Salin would not accept any test. His Gift Ring had expanded its space last time, as if it had been used to take the cage this time.
After the cage disappeared into the Gift Ring, the temple began to tremble. It split open in the middle, creating a spatial passageway that led to the last temple.
Salin soared into the air and headed straight for the last palace. The last palace was the standard one, but it was densely packed with divine runes that revolved around it.
Salin took a step forward, but found that this time, the Bestowed Ring could not let him pass unimpeded.
Those divine characters blocked all power. Even if Salin poured in his divine power, he could not pass through. A blue crystal floated above the altar in the hall that was enveloped in green light.
Salin's Elemental Eyes looked over. He felt like he was seeing a huge world inside the blue crystal. However, that world was lifeless and lifeless, without the slightest bit of vitality.
Salin's heart was suddenly filled with desire. He must get his hands on this crystal!
This was condensed from a substance that surpassed the water element. If he was not mistaken, this was a Divine Spark!
This Godhood was sealed by Goddess Myers using her divine power. Even if the original gods ignited their divine fire, they would not be able to find this thing. Salin anxiously paced back and forth outside the temple. He didn't know how to get close to the temple, pass through the seal of divine power, and obtain the blue crystal.
After a few rounds, Salin gradually calmed down. What precious materials did he not have? A level-19 Star Condensation Needle was far more valuable than this Godhood. Although this Godhood was left behind by a Water God, it could bring him endless benefits. But if he believed in Myers because of this, he would completely lose himself. That would not be worth it.
Salin calmed down and reanalyzed the purpose of this temple. From Agares, he learned that many temples left behind by the Goddess were targeted. For example, Agares was looking for skills and equipment left behind by Assassins. This temple was for Water Mages, and it just so happened that it was what Salin needed.
In the last temple, there was even a Water Godhood.
This was an incomparably huge temptation. But if he wanted to eat this temptation, he had to pay the price of faith. The first temple was for Water Mages who entered to accept faith. After accepting faith, there was a huge amount of Divine Crystals stored in the back temple, which could allow faith to evolve, level up, and become a high-level believer.
The twenty-second temple's Divine Fusion could allow Water Mages to advance!
The water elemental creature in the twenty-third temple was trapped in a Divine Power Cage. At this time, if the Water Mage who entered had already become a high-level believer or a high-level Magister, they could open the cage and tame the Water Fox!
Once the Water Fox became a tamed divine beast, it could enter this temple and bring out the Godhood.
Myers, good move!
Salin sneered. Fortunately, he was more knowledgeable and had gone to the Abyss King City to receive Cain's guidance. Otherwise, he might really have been tempted and become a believer of Myers. Once he accepted the Goddess's blessing, it would be difficult to get rid of it.
Salin took out the statue of the Goddess, released the water flame, and started to refine it under the stairs of the temple.
Salin had been planning to refine the Thunder Mageweath on the statue for a long time. He had originally planned to use it to refine Divine Fusion, and he had already tested it on the first Divine Fusion he had obtained. This refinement was just to complete the plan he had been thinking about for a long time.
The statue of the Goddess had lost all of its power. Salin's water flame could easily refine the Thunder Mageweath on it, but the material of the statue was too high level. Salin felt that it was extremely strenuous. The water flame tried several times to enter the interior of the statue, but was unable to complete it.
His thoughts stirred. This was the first time that he was simultaneously using another magic while simultaneously using the water flame technique. He began to chant a magic incantation.
The sound of thunder rumbled, shaking the material of the statue. This time, Salin's water flame suddenly broke into the interior of the material. At the same time, his perception also probed a space within the statue of the Goddess.
This was the position of the heart. There was a spherical divine runic array that was hollow.
Salin was overjoyed. He replaced the Thunder Mageweath with the Thunder Mageweath. With the help of the sound of thunder, the Thunder Mageweath was rapidly refined. Salin gasped for breath. Within the space of the temple, the flow of time was different from the outside world, but the difference was too small. He couldn't delay for too long.
The statue of the Goddess had been completely destroyed by Salin, and the key parts had been replaced with the Thunder Mageweath. Only then did Salin attempt to send in a bit of his divine power. The statue of the Goddess blinked, a bit dazed as it looked at Salin.
Salin saw that the statue had no intelligence and that it was difficult to command it. Thus, he simply took out the cage of divine power and began to slowly refine it. Within the cage of divine power, the water elemental creature could no longer remain calm. It paced back and forth, watching as Salin used the Thunder Mageweath to replace the Thunder Mageweath with the Thunder Mageweath, its eyes bursting with intense emotions.
It was anger, hatred, fatigue, and boredom. This cage of divine power had trapped it for far too long. It had long since thought of its ending. It would rather die than help anyone who obtained this cage.
But what was this fellow doing? He was destroying the cage! And he wasn't even a believer?
Salin patiently refined the cage of divine power. This cage of divine power was carved from crystal and there was a massive amount of Divine Runes flowing within. If Salin wanted to replace it with the Thunder Mageweath, he would need to expend a massive amount of soul force. If it weren't for the ring that he had exchanged with Ebola, Salin would have no hope of accomplishing this.
"Mage, what are you doing?" The water fox couldn't help but speak. Its level was high enough for it to communicate in the human language. However, it spoke in Ancient Myersi. If it was facing a knight, he probably wouldn't be able to understand its words.
"Nothing much, just asking for your help." Salin's hands did not stop. Complex mageweaths were slowly refined into the crystal. This time, Salin even added the Thunder Mageweath.
"I won't help you."
"I know. That's why I'm forcing you," Salin replied with a smile.
"I'd rather die!"
"You've been in this cage for tens of thousands of years, right? Why aren't you dead?"
The water fox was speechless. If it could die, it would have committed suicide long ago. However, in the divine power cage, there was no true death. Even if it died, it would resurrect. It was a water elemental creature, and committing suicide was a very difficult thing to do.
"Just stay in there obediently. When I need you, I'll tell you what to do. If you resist, you'll continue living in a terrible state. I'm going to get busy, so please don't disturb me. Otherwise, your fate will be worse than in the divine power cage."
The water fox was infuriated by Salin's words. It sneered and said, "What can you do to me?"
Salin glanced at it and said, "You'll know soon enough. If I wasn't pressed for time, I would slowly discuss it with you. However, what I lack the most is time. If you cooperate with me, I'll let you live a more comfortable life. "
"In your dreams, even the Myersi Goddess couldn't tame me!"
"How pitiful. If she didn't tame you, would you still call her a goddess?" After Salin finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to the water elemental creature's nagging and sped up the refining process.
All the mental strength in Salin's ring had been consumed. After recovering twice, the divine power cage was finally transformed into a lightning cage. The material of the crystal was good. After refining it twice, there were no cracks.
Salin placed the statue of the goddess in front of the cage. He took one last look at the water fox in the cage and said, "How about it? Are you going to cooperate with me?"
The water fox simply ignored Salin and lay in the cage, as if Salin didn't exist.
"In that case, I'm really sorry." As Salin spoke, he activated the magic patterns on the lightning cage. Hundreds of lightning bolts lit up and hit the water fox. The water fox bounced out of the cage, its fur standing on end!
Roar …
Three hundred and sixty lightning bolts finally stopped the water fox in the center of the cage. It floated in the air. Salin raised the Thunder Dragon Spear and shot an icicle, piercing a hole in the water fox's head. Immediately after, Salin took out a piece of broken jade left behind by Shang Lan and threw it into the hole in the water fox's head.
The water fox's soul was instantly absorbed by the broken jade. The lightning magic patterns on the broken jade also activated. The wound on the water fox's head immediately healed, but its body began to twist in pain.
The lightning cage made of crystal opened with a click. Salin lowered his head and said to the water fox, "Go in here and help me. In the future, I'll return you your freedom."
