Global Game: My Divine Skills Reach Full Level Automatically

The Furnace Spirit seemed to remember something, and its eyes grew increasingly bright:

”Mother once said, if one asks who in this world can kill gods and save spirits, it might only be a mortal who can achieve it. Could that person be you?”

She looked at Ding Ling with anticipation, excitement, and eagerness.

”...”

Ding Ling was lost for words.

He was certain.

He definitely wasn’t the one the Mountain and Sea Realm was expecting to kill gods.

Perhaps it’s someone else.

Ding Ling was about to speak, but the Furnace Spirit said crisply:

”It must be you, no doubt. Even Kun and terrifying figures like Nanhua Old Immortal were slain by you. As a mere mortal, killing gods in defiance—it’s truly extraordinary. I imagine if Mother saw you, she would be very happy as well.”

Curious by her words, Ding Ling asked:

”Is the Mountain and Sea Realm dead? Then where can spirits like you and me live?”

”There is more than one Mountain and Sea Realm.”

As the Furnace Spirit continued chatting with the Sword Spirit, she seemed to grow more fond of the Sword Spirit—naturally, this was in part due to the charm of the Sword Spirit, as well as its way with words:

”There are nine Mountain and Sea Realms in the Upper Realm. My mother is dead, but there should be eight remaining.”

Should be...

Ding Ling understood.

Yet, despite understanding, he remained puzzled.

After all, the Mountain and Sea Realm was a person who could nurture such beings as him—truly peculiar. Ding Ling searched through all the novels, TV shows, and movies in his mind but couldn’t find a world quite like this.

He could only secretly ponder the possibility that the so-called Upper Realm might exceed the understanding of films?

And so.

Ding Ling discovered much more truth from the Furnace Spirit.

”The undead of the Netherworld all transformed into Soul Qi and merged into the Netherworld, countering the refining of the World Furnace.”

”And the process of merging is also actively facilitated by Nanhua Old Immortal. Because the more Soul Qi that merges in, the stronger the Heaven and Earth Pill refined will be.”

As for why Great Virtuous Master Zhang Jiao is still alive?

Naturally, it’s because the Northern Realm where he lives is protected by Nanhua Old Immortal.

While the other Earth Realms did not receive Nanhua Old Immortal’s protection.

The people in those realms mostly wouldn’t live for more than a few years before passively merging into the heaven and earth.

The merge occurs very quickly.

Usually in an instant.

That the Furnace Spirit knows all this.

Naturally, it is related to her Divine Techniques Attribute Points.

She can refine the world into pills!

Overwhelmingly powerful beyond measure!

It’s not surprising she senses these situations.

Of course.

She only possesses the ability to accommodate and refine the world. Though her functionality is singular, she has achieved the ultimate in this singularity—she is a god!

”Isn’t Nanhua Old Immortal always in the Immortal Realm? How could he come specifically to the Netherworld to protect Zhang Jiao? How did he enter this Netherworld?”

Ding Ling asked.

The Furnace Spirit answered crisply:

”Nanhua Old Immortal has always attempted to subvert and refine the Mortal World and Six Realms. For only by thoroughly decaying and dismembering those underlying realms can the influence gradually reach the topmost worlds.

Hence, he sometimes descends to the Mortal World to spread his teachings.

And once anyone cultivates his magic and skills.

To a certain extent, they would be influenced by him, unwittingly acting according to his subtle instructions.

Zhang Jiao is likely his cultivated human proxy.

After Zhang Jiao’s death, because he practiced Nanhua Old Immortal’s magic, his region was automatically protected by the World Furnace from melting by the heaven and earth.”

”I see.”

Ding Ling found relief.

The previous owner of the World Furnace is Nanhua Old Immortal.

That the World Furnace protects Zhang Jiao.

Is equivalent to Nanhua Old Immortal protecting him.

It’s not that the Northern Realm is special, but because Zhang Jiao is in the Northern Realm!

”Have all the undead perished?”

Ding Ling thought of many heroic figures from history:

”Liu Xiu, Emperor Qin Shi Huang, Bai Qi, Huo Qubing, Weii Qing, Li Guang, Dayu... Have all these heroes and Human Emperors died?”

”All dead.”

The Furnace Spirit replied:

”Some ascended to the Immortal Realm due to their profound cultivation, like the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns; some, due to outstanding cultivation, ascended to the Demon Realm, similar to beauties of the Nine-tailed Fox clan. Some became gods after death, like Liann Po, Tian Dan, Le Yi, Li Mu, etc. However, they all perished in Nanhua Old Immortal’s schemes.”

”The Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns are all dead.”

Ding Ling felt a wave in his heart:

”Nanhua Old Immortal’s power isn’t very profound, so how did he achieve this?!”

”He secretly drew Primordial Qi from various realms using the World Furnace, constantly lowering the worlds’ status, causing the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns’ strength to gradually diminish! Not only that, he also incarnated as various figures, infiltrating major tribes to instigate discord and wars! Due to mutual slaughter and widespread chaotic conflicts.

The World Furnace absorbed more and more Primordial Qi from the realms.

That’s how Nanhua Old Immortal, the mastermind, gained an advantage.

By the time some realized what was happening, it was too late. Nanhua Old Immortal had already become a Primordial Spirit Level strong person, aided by the World Furnace and Kun.

The severely injured, nearly decayed strong people of various realms stood no chance against him.

He swept them away one by one.”

”...”

Ding Ling felt like he was listening to a legend.

”Don’t disbelieve. It’s the truth.”

The Furnace Spirit said:

”You could kill him. He probably didn’t expect that someone as strong as you could exist in this world. Otherwise, given his personality, he would never have come out to personally confront you, but would rather stay hidden behind the scenes.”

Ding Ling nodded, yet he still felt a bit dreamy.

Because he killed Nanhua Old Immortal, it seemed he did so too easily.

But on second thought, this was due to Nanhua Old Immortal facing him, an All-Powerful with a Saint-Grade Golden Core.

If faced with another Saint-Grade Golden Core, Nanhua Old Immortal would certainly have prevailed.

Then he understood.

Nanhua Old Immortal surely believed he would never lose.

Who would have thought that, after winning over strong figures like the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns, he would lose to a junior like Ding Ling!

He died unwillingly.

It’s understandable!

So...

Mindset is crucial.

No matter when, never let oneself become too arrogant!

Ding Ling thus warned himself.

In the subsequent period.

Ding Ling uncovered many valuable secrets from the Furnace Spirit’s words.

Later on.

Under the guidance of the Furnace Spirit, he imprinted his thoughts on the core of the World Furnace, and hence, this World Furnace became Ding Ling’s Magical Treasure.

Once the World Furnace became his Magical Treasure, Ding Ling gained a deeper understanding of it.

He realized that the World Furnace even possesses the function of stabilizing worlds and establishing order across ten realms.

With the World Furnace here.

It can stabilize a world on the brink of shattering; the World Furnace, like the beam of a house, makes the world more stable.

”Worthy of being the World Furnace.”

Ding Ling held the furnace, moving with intention, and with the Puppet Soldiers as the focal point, the rules of this region began to change.

Soul Qi grew increasingly dense.

Mountains rose abruptly from the ground.

Palaces began to coalesce in Ding Ling’s mind constantly.

In mere moments.

This region underwent significant transformations.
