457. Lin Fei Becomes a God, Stirring Shock in All Directions!

As the divine body on the back mountain gradually vanished, Lin Fei smiled slightly, turning to Feng Ling.

"What, don't you recognize me anymore?" he teased.

Feng Ling was still immersed in the shock of the recent events. "You... you really became a god?" she asked in disbelief.

"Yes, I have achieved the status of Martial Gods," Lin Fei confirmed. "And becoming a Martial God isn't as complicated as you might think. Come, let me explain in detail about becoming a Martial God. After all, it's your turn next..."

Lin Fei took Feng Ling's hand, and they went into a room for a lengthy discussion, with Lin Fei explaining the process of becoming a Martial God in great detail.

Meanwhile, at the Xiao family, Xiao Yuchen was in the blood pool. Her bloodlines had awakened, and using the pool, she had now awakened six Divine Abilities. With only three more to go, she could have a chance to become a Martial King. Despite knowing that Lin Fei was already betrothed, she occasionally thought of him. "If I become a Martial King, could I also have a chance..." Xiao Yu Chen wondered, biting her lip.

Suddenly, a report came.

"Aurora Sovereign, three days ago, Ancient Origin Saber King Lin Fei, in the back mountains of the Feng family, merged nine bloodlines and ascended to godhood! Now, the Ancient Origin Sect has given birth to a Martial God!"

Xiao Yuchen was shaken. Ascension to godhood was beyond her imagination. She was struggling just to awaken and become a Martial King, while Lin Fei had already become a Martial God. The gap was immense.

"Indeed, the gap between me and Lin Fei is vast," she murmured bitterly, her unrealistic hopes fading away.

Whether Lin Fei became a Martial King or a god, seemed irrelevant to him. He was Shen Lianxin, a cultivator of the Saber Dao. As long as he had the strength and was alive, he would continue on his path step by step, without regrets. What others did was of no concern to him. With that, Shen Lianxin closed his eyes once more, resuming his cultivation.

In a vast city, backed by the powerful Deity Transformation Sect – the Heaven Transformation Sect – which was founded by a Deity Transformation ancestor. Despite its relatively short history of tens of thousands of years, it had grown into a formidable force. No one dared to cause trouble within the territories controlled by the Heaven Transformation Sect.

Heavenly Artifact Ancestral Master had set up a miscellaneous goods shop in one of the cities under the control of the Heaven Transformation Sect, using it as a cover while he closely monitored the Ancient Origin Sect, especially news regarding the Ancient Origin Saber King and Feng Ling. He was a formidable figure, just half a step away from Deity Transformation, but Lin Fei had slain his original body, leaving him only with his Deity Transformation form. His hopes of becoming a true god were dashed, fueling his resentment towards Lin Fei. He hid, biding his time for revenge.

However, one day, he received a piece of news that struck him like a bolt from the blue: "The Ancient Origin Saber King Lin Fei has ascended to godhood in the back mountains of the Feng family!"

He couldn't believe it. "How could Lin Fei become a god so easily?" he thought. Despite his disbelief, the news had already spread across the ancient land. Faced with this reality, the Heavenly Artifact was filled with fear.

Even though he possessed a Deity Transformation body, he could no longer hope to achieve actual Deity Transformation in this lifetime unless he stumbled upon an incredibly rare opportunity. But such fortune seemed unlikely for him.

Realizing this, the Heavenly Artifact knew that becoming a true Deity Transformation was impossible, yet he still wanted to live. Previously, avoiding Lin Fei had been sufficient for safety. As a half-step Deity Transformation, it was easy for him to escape or hide. But things had changed now that Lin Fei had become a god. With just a whiff of his aura, Lin Fei could lock onto the Heavenly Artifact's body.

A true Deity Transformation being, capable of creating countless incarnations, was almost impossible to kill entirely. It was their ultimate survival technique. But the Heavenly Artifact wasn't a true Deity Transformation; he didn't have countless incarnations, only this one body. If it fell, he would truly die.

So, in his panic, he thought, "Should I seek the help of the Heaven Transformation Ancestor? If he agrees to shelter me, perhaps I can live a little longer."

The Heavenly Artifact immediately thought of the Heaven Transformation Ancestor as his last resort. Without delay, he set off towards the Heaven Transformation Sect. He was determined to try everything possible to save his life. In his mind, seeking the aid of the Heaven Transformation Ancestor for survival was not a matter of shame, but a necessary step in the face of such dire circumstances.
