Part 2.
Raphael continued to recite the divine text. The dome of the hall had already fallen, but she pretended not to see it. After the dome hit the barrier formed by the Goddess's divine power, it shattered and turned into dust.
The dome of the hall had already decayed. These deity statues dragged the decaying dome and relied on a bit of divine power to maintain it. Otherwise, the hall would have collapsed long ago.
Salin's eyes were sharp. He saw tens of thousands of tiny light spots flying out from the broken dome. He immediately summoned Dante. Dante already had a huge hammer in his hand, and he swung it at the deity statues.
Dante swung the hammer in mid-air, and the deity statues shattered one after another. This blow made Raphael's heart ache.
Every deity statue still had value. If she wanted to shatter them, she would have done so long ago. However, Salin must have a reason for doing this, right?
After Salin released Dante, he let the artifact spirit of the magic amplification device fly out to capture those light spots. The artifact spirit of the magic amplification device was the fastest. In the blink of an eye, it had already circled the hall once and caught the light spots that did not escape. This time, it caught 36,000 light spots.
The artifact spirit flew back after the light spots were caught, and Salin stored them in his Universe Ring. Raphael wanted to ask what it was, but she held back in the end.
Salin saw Raphael's expression and knew what she was thinking. He said, "This is a Soul of the Stars. I use it as a backup for refining equipment. If not for this thing here, with my level, I would have to reach level 16 to collect it from outer space. I don't know how long I would have to wait. "
Salin did not say everything. His Star of Lightning had an artifact spirit, but those lightning warriors did not. He wanted to use the Star Stones to refine 36,000 lightning warriors. With the Soul of the Stars, these 36,000 lightning warriors would directly advance to existences like God's Envoys. They would have an extra strand of soul compared to angels, and the potential for growth would be very high.
In the future, Salin would go to the Giant's Graveyard to collect the Moon of Lightning. After the Moon of Lightning and the Star of Lightning combined, the artifact spirit's power would be unparalleled. Salin could not let this artifact spirit rebel. Sarin didn't know what level of existence Shang Lan's broken jade could control, but Dante was the God of Lightning. It would be terrible if he couldn't control it.
What Salin needed to do was to give each of these 36,000 Thunder Warriors a Fragment of Eternal Control and refine it with the best materials. If Dante didn't listen to him in the future, these 36,000 Thunder Warriors would collectively rebel and no longer provide Dante with any power of faith.
This was just a precaution. Even if the shattered jade didn't work in the end, Dante would have to suppress Salin too much in order to escape Salin's control.
It was extremely difficult to become a deity. Salin estimated that he would surpass Dante's level sooner or later. The only reason he did this was to be cautious. Moreover, Salin himself desperately needed the power of faith from the God of Lightning. He wanted to keep some for himself to make special weapons. With the powerful power of faith provided by these 36,000 Lightning Warriors, Salin would intercept it every day and not let Dante have it.
It seemed that this Ancient God was ridiculously powerful. It actually collected Star Souls to decorate its temple.
Seeing that Salin really needed these things, Raphael had no choice but to give up on capturing the statues. She already had four Protoss cores of these statues, which was enough for her to use.
Salin didn't completely remove the foundations of the temple like before. After these statues were shattered by Dante, even the Protoss cores were shattered. In ancient times, they were unparalleled warriors, but now, they were just decayed statues.
Salin put Dante away and didn't stop with Raphael. They directly rushed forward to the next temple.
After traveling for more than 800 kilometers, Salin was a little disappointed when the second temple appeared in his sight. Flying high in the sky, Salin could see a hundred kilometers without a problem. There was a distance of more than 900 kilometers between the two temples.
Raphael said awkwardly, "Sir, maybe the 'li' used by the deities is different from the human's. Look, they're all bigger …"
Salin was speechless. In Raphael's opinion, it would only take one or two hundred kilometers to reach the next temple, but it took them a thousand kilometers. Raphael said that it was because the human was too small, and that a kilometer was longer for them.
The sky above the temple was shrouded in mist. Salin's Elemental Eyes saw through the essence of the mist. It was just smoke composed of tiny particles mixed with water vapor.
Under normal circumstances, such an environment would only appear when a volcano erupted, and there wouldn't be any water vapor. People couldn't breathe in such clouds. If they breathed in the air, they would suffocate to death in a few minutes.
Moreover, there was a divine attribute in the mist. Although it was extremely weak, it couldn't be dispelled by level-zero Cleanse.
Cleanse could at most advance to level-three, and no Mage would continue to advance it. Fortunately, Salin's Water Pattern Shield could replace Cleanse, so at least breathing wasn't a problem.
Raphael didn't need to breathe. She rushed into the smoke and absorbed the divine power in it.
She had to cherish every bit of divine power. Even if she created angel shadows in the future, she couldn't use them limitlessly like the divine power bestowed by the gods. With four Protoss cores, Raphael could create the shadow of an angel. The angel shadows provided divine power for the angels. When the gods weren't around, the angel shadows could provide about one-tenth of the power bestowed by the gods.
If Raphael could create three shadows, she would be able to achieve about one-third of the power she prayed for.
That way, at least Raphael wouldn't have to worry about lowering her rank, and wouldn't have to worry about the loss of her life.
Salin felt that this trip wasn't in vain. If he directly destroyed this fragment of the divine kingdom, he wouldn't have any hope of getting those Star Souls. It wasn't difficult to create Star Souls, but the material was the same as Twelve-Dimensional Gold. Every plane had a limited number of them. Salin didn't have the ability to obtain tens of thousands of Star Souls.
The divine hall below was empty. Salin and Raphael entered the divine hall and looked up at the dome. The dome was clean, without any star patterns.
The statues around them were also motionless. Salin took a look and knew that the divine cores had been destroyed.
Raphael said, "Sir, we can't go any further. There's nothing in the last temple."
"The last one?"
"This Divine Kingdom is broken. This is the last temple that we can find."
Salin knew that the gods had their own way of calculating the number of temples. Raphael was a Battle Angel. Who knew how many divine kingdoms he'd broken into? He was very familiar with this kind of thing.
"What else is there to take from this divine kingdom?" Salin asked straightforwardly.
Raphael thought about it and said, "For mages, it might just be some rare materials. The big trees on the mountain are all good for refining. There shouldn't be any magic beasts or divine beasts in this divine kingdom. Low-level insects can be used to refine magic potions. "
Seeing Salin's disappointed look, Raphael said, "Of course, this divine kingdom was broken suddenly, but there's still some divine power left. Maybe there's a fragment of an ancient god's remains here. Even if there isn't, even if we get a nail or hair, it can be used to refine outstanding equipment for mages. "
Salin smiled and said, "You didn't see through this temple, did you?"
"See what?"
"This temple hasn't decayed. It's different from the last one. It's not because of the materials, but because there's something buried underground. I thought it was some treasure. Maybe it's the god's remains you mentioned. "
Raphael looked down. But no matter how high her rank was, her eyes weren't as sharp as Salin's.
"Purple Angel, come out and work!" Salin shouted, and the Purple Angel was summoned. Gloomily, it transformed into a digging machine and began to dig into the ground.
The ground was very hard. If Salin was still a low-level mage, he would've pounced on it and collected the stones. But now that Salin's standards were higher, and with Raphael here, he wouldn't do such a shameful thing.
The Purple Angel knew what Salin was thinking. He cut open the entire ground of the temple and stored everything in his puppet space. These things were worth a million gold coins. It was shameful to waste them.
After digging a few hundred meters, the digging machine made of the Purple Angel clicked and a dozen gears flew out.
"Master, found it!" The Purple Angel shouted and flew up, but he was afraid of danger.
Salin didn't point it out. Raphael was the first to rush down. In the middle of the wide hole was a skull about six meters in diameter. It looked like a human's, but it was too big. If it was a giant's, it was too small.
Salin noticed that there was a hole between the brows of the skull. Inside the hole, there was an eye that hadn't decayed.
God's eye!
The god of the Three-Eyed Race!
Salin was really shocked. The Three-Eyed Race was a powerful race, similar to humans. But he hadn't heard of anyone from the Three-Eyed Race becoming a god.
In ancient times, the Three-Eyed Race had also attacked the Gods. Just like the human Mages, the Three-Eyed Race hated the Gods.
Whoosh …
Salin stored the skull in his Universe Ring. He said to Raphael, "This thing is too important. I have to bring it back to the half plane and study it with Master. Even if you need it, you have to wait. "
Raphael shrugged. The Three-Eyed Race? She had heard of it, but she didn't covet it. The Three-Eyed Race was strong in their souls, but she served the Metal God, so she was strong in her body.
In the beginning, every part of her body was more precious and hard than adamantine.
Salin put away the skull of the Three-Eyed God. He even wanted to leave the divine kingdom fragment. But thinking about it, there were still many things in the divine kingdom that could be taken away. He had to find a way to let the God of the Weave refine it later, or he could just give it to the artifact spirit of his magic amplification tool and turn it into its godfire.
Let's go collect the trees first. Salin remembered that Eleanor had asked him to help collect seeds. The seeds in the divine kingdom must be very rare.
