Chapter 422

The power of Gu Ding's Heaven's Retribution was beyond everyone's imagination, but it was countless times easier for him than anyone else. From beginning to end, he just stood where he was and let the Heaven's Retribution hit him.

The golden lightning was enough to kill a Medium Deity, but in front of Gu Ding, it was not much different from rainwater hitting his body, except that it was a little more numb.

The last two waves of Heaven's Retribution were even more terrifying. Even a Higher Deity could die under those two attacks, but it still did not cause any trouble for Gu Ding.

Just as Gu Ding was still puzzled, he suddenly noticed a black vortex in his soul space. The vortex was like a black hole that could swallow everything. The vortex was currently spitting out a peculiar energy that nourished the Purple Extreme Lightning Fire, allowing it to rapidly grow.

"This is …" Gu Ding's heart was filled with doubts.

"This is the imprint of your Natural Divine Power, Devouring Heaven and Earth, in the soul space," Neptune explained. "You've finally officially entered the demigod level, and I can also explore what's in your soul space. This Natural Divine Power is really terrifying."

"Neptune, you can now read my thoughts?" Gu Ding asked in surprise.

"Yes, you're basically an existence that's separated from humans now, so I've activated my second master recognition function. My authority has been greatly increased, and I can directly communicate with you through consciousness." Previously, when Neptune communicated with Gu Ding, he could only hear Gu Ding when he spoke, but now it was completely different.

"This is much more convenient than before." Gu Ding grinned. Not only did he become stronger after this Retribution, but so did Neptune.

"Let's leave as soon as possible. Your Retribution was too loud, and some powerhouses nearby noticed it." Neptune's current detection range had also greatly increased. It had expanded from the original star sector to the entire universe, and there was almost nothing in the entire universe that could escape his detection.

Gu Ding nodded, and in a flash, he returned to the spaceship.

Neptune did not hesitate at all. He immediately steered the spaceship into the sky and disappeared from the five-person planet in the blink of an eye.

"Gu Ding, your Heaven's Retribution is terrifying!" Liliath was still a little shocked when she recalled the scene earlier.

"I don't know why either. Normally, there should be 81 of them, but I ended up with two more. Moreover, the last two were indeed very powerful." Gu Ding did not know what had caused the changes in his Heaven's Retribution. All he knew was that the thing that had absorbed the Heaven's Retribution energy and provided him with a unique energy source was his new divine power called Devouring Heaven and Earth.

"Even with my current physical strength, I wouldn't dare to take such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation head-on. Gu Ding, you're amazing. You managed to withstand all of it, but why do I feel like your body isn't as strong as mine? " Ayesha, who was at the side, felt a little puzzled. She was more sensitive to physical energy and could clearly sense that Gu Ding's current physical body was not as strong as hers. In fact, it was not even as strong as Dockett's.

Gu Ding smiled and explained, "Actually, I didn't use my physical body to withstand it. I have a new divine power that devoured all the Heaven's Retribution energy. My current basic physical strength is only the strength of a 4-star Lower Rank Deity. Even with the permanent addition of the Imperial Manifestation Body, it's still only at the level of a 7-star Lower Rank Deity. It's not even at the level of a Middle Rank Deity. "

Gu Ding's biggest gain this time was not that his physical body had become stronger, but that he had obtained a new type of Divine Fire. Moreover, it had increased the richness of his God Source once again. Also, his soul strength had directly risen to the level of a Middle Rank Deity, making up for his previous weakness in terms of his soul.

"A divine power that can directly devour such a terrifying Heaven's Retribution. How powerful must it be!" Dockett, who was at the side, looked envious.

"There's no point in being envious. Captain's physique has always been special." Biggie, who was at the side, only smiled foolishly.

"Can you teach me cultivation?" Mi Ke suddenly asked, a little embarrassed.

Gu Ding was stunned when he heard Mi Ke's words. He smiled and asked, "Mi Ke, what do you want to learn?"

"I don't know. I want to become stronger and fight like everyone else." Mi Ke stated her wish.

"I'll teach you." Neptune took the initiative to take on the responsibility.

Gu Ding nodded, then said to Mi Ke, "Mi Ke, I've already introduced you to the other members of our crew, but there's one member that I haven't introduced to you yet. His name is Neptune."

"He's the one who beat me in chess, right?" Mi Ke asked immediately.

"That's right. I'm the one who played chess with you before." Neptune finally spoke. His voice sounded about the same age as Mi Ke.

"How did you know?" Gu Ding did not expect Mi Ke to guess that he was not the one who played chess before.

"That's because the way you played later was completely different from the first three games, big brother," Mi Ke explained.

Mi Ke was actually giving face to Gu Ding. To put it bluntly, it meant that Gu Ding had played the first three games to no avail. Gu Ding did not refute this. In terms of chess, he was indeed not on the same level as Mi Ke. He only touched his nose sheepishly. "Neptune will guide you in your cultivation from now on. My cultivation was actually guided by Neptune along the way. The others in the crew have also received guidance from him. "

"Mm." Mi Ke nodded vigorously. Hearing Gu Ding's words, he admired Neptune even more.

"Then, Neptune, I'll leave Mi Ke to you for the time being. If there's a need, let Robert activate his domain as well to help him cultivate. "

The reason why he had only introduced Neptune to Mi Ke now was because he was afraid that Mi Ke would accidentally spill the beans on Norman and let others know about Neptune's existence.

"I need to draw some blood to test your body's condition." Neptune's purpose of drawing blood was not just for a simple physical examination. He wanted to find out what was wrong with Mi Ke's eyes.

Mi Ke was indeed different from the other children. He completed the blood drawing very cooperatively and did not even frown.

In just a few minutes, Neptune's test results were out. "Gu Ding, I've found the reason why he can't see. Like you, he has strong genetic shackles in his body. These shackles not only limit his abilities but also severely affect his vision. "

"Will his vision recover if the shackles are removed?" Gu Ding asked quickly.

"It'll be very difficult. As you know, there is more than one genetic shackle. Every time a Gene Body advances, it needs to be broken again. If he wants to regain his vision, I'm afraid he'll have to become a True God. "Neptune gave a pessimistic answer.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Just guide him in his cultivation." Gu Ding was silent for a moment before giving a solution.

"According to his physique, when he advances to the same cultivation level as you, his strength won't be too far behind yours." Neptune laughed. "Moreover, with his intelligence, his cultivation speed will only be faster than yours."

"That's good news, isn't it?" Gu Ding grinned. He was never worried about being surpassed by others.

In the next few days, Mi Ke Ke trained under Neptune's guidance every day. In Robert's domain, under the effect of the time acceleration of twenty times, his training speed was quite terrifying. It was almost as if his gene level increased by one every day. This was the result of playing chess with Neptune every day. Of course, it was also related to the large amount of cultivation resources that Gu Ding and the others had accumulated.

Just as Neptune expected, Mi Ke's first awakened ability was Player. Mi Ke, who had awakened her abilities as a player, was rapidly increasing her intelligence quotient every day.

Of course, the others were not idling around either, especially Gu Ding. After going through the Heavenly Calamity, the speed at which he absorbed the beast carcasses with his Devouring Flame had increased, and the cultivation speed of his Emperor Body of Nature Manifestation had also increased significantly.

On this day, the Sea King brought another piece of good news.

Gu Ding and the others gathered in the living room.

"What news? Don't tell me our bounty has increased again? "Liliath had not been idle for the past few days.

"It's not the change in the bounty." Neptune sounded very excited. "It's the thing I mentioned two days ago."

"Two days ago? You mean the Demigod Monster Ranking? " Only then did Gu Ding remember that Neptune had mentioned two days ago that the Demigod Monster Ranking would be rearranged in the next few days. This time, it would no longer exclude humans with special bloodlines from the list. Instead, all the Demigod Monster Ranking would be on the same list.

"That's right. The previous Demigod Monster Ranking listed powerhouses with special bloodlines alone. For example, Elsa's Viking bloodline and Liliath's Medusa bloodline. But this time, everyone was on the Demigod Monster List. The guy who was originally in first place is now ranked over two hundred. "Neptune looked a little excited.

"Are we on the list too?" Dockett's interest was immediately piqued when he heard the list.

Neptune immediately projected the list.

The golden list was densely packed, and there were a total of three thousand names.

The first place on the list was a name that Gu Ding had heard of before — Futu.

Before Futu was promoted to demigod, he had always occupied the first place on the Newcomer Ranking. No one had surpassed him. Unexpectedly, he had also become a demigod this year and was ranked first.

[First Place: Futu]

[Second Place: Gu Ding]

[Third Place: Elsa]

[Fourth Place: Liliath]

[Fifth Place: Dockett]

[Sixth Place: Phaser]

[Seventh Place: Karlot]

…

Among the top ten, Gu Ding's crew occupied four places and occupied the second to fifth places. Phaser and Karlot, who were ranked sixth and seventh, had also fought against Gu Ding's crew in the War God Arena. They were indeed very powerful powerhouses, so it was normal for them to be ranked high.

However, this ranking made some people not very satisfied. Many people on Skynet raised doubts.

"Why does Gu Ding's crew occupy four people in the top ten?"

"How are they ranked? It's understandable that Dockett defeated the chief of TOP1 and occupied a place in the top ten, but the rest of Gu Ding's crew don't have any achievements, right? "

"Phaser and Karlot are much more famous in Cosmic Sea than Gu Ding's crew recently. How can they rank them according to the results of the War God Arena a few months ago?"

"Why isn't there Biggie? Isn't Biggie the strongest in Gu Ding's crew? "
