After some prodding and poking from the Thunder God, it seemed that William had grown in certain aspects.
[Prompt: You have been baptized by the Thunder God]
[Prompt: Four attributes +20]
[Prompt: Health Points +1000)
[Prompt: You obtained the endowment ‘Hand of the Thunder God’]
[Advanced Hand of Thunder God: The Left Hand of the Thunder God is officially your endowment now.]
(Defense of your left hand: ???]
(Attack Power of your left hand: 3300-4100]
[Each time you attack with your left hand, an additional 1300 points of thunder damage will be inflicted. Negative effects such as penetration, destruction, thunderstorm attack, and paralysis will also be triggered.]
(Thunder Grip (Passive): Your Left Hand of the Thunder God has an extremely powerful grip. Any enemy whose Power is not more than two times of yours would not be able to escape your grip.)
[Thunder Realm: Sealed]
(Others: Sealed]
The Thunder God had allowed William to gain full control over his left hand. William could now see its statistics, and it was easier for him to use this endowment now.
However, with this change, William had lost the ability to sacrifice a part of his body and unlock a fatal attack, as he had done in the battle with Andros.
The power of a Thunder Realm was equivalent to that of an Epic professional’s pseudo-realm. It could instantly kill even a Grandmaster Boss!
However, the side effects of the pseudo-realm were extremely severe.
William had previously lost his eyes, and next time, it might be another important body part.
After looking at the statistics of the Left Hand of the Thunder God, he was both disappointed and relieved at the same time.
He was disappointed that he had lost the chance to summon the pseudo-realm.
Nonetheless, he was relieved that he didn’t have to experience the side effects and end up killing himself.
After the statistics had been revealed, he could better sense the true power of the Left Hand of the Thunder God.
Its Defense was all question marks, which meant that it had an infinite upper limit.
When William had still been an Advanced professional, the attack power of the Left Hand of the Thunder God could already go up to 4100. It was insane!
“No wonder I can cause destructive damage every time I use my left hand to attack. Besides, the negative buffs it would inflict are incredible. This hand feels invincible!” William took a deep breath. Exchanging his pseudo-realm power for this wasn’t a loss.
William shot a glance at the Thunder God and grinned. “Boss, do you have any other benefits to give me? Something like a killer move?”
“No! Scram!”
Those were the last words that the Thunder God left for William.
Just when William thought that the God would dissipate or go unconscious, the Thunder God stared at him, still very much alive.
“Why are you still here? If not for the man outside of the barrier, do you think I would have even talked to you?”
William’s mouth twitched as he patted the barrier. Lightning currents could be seen, and thunder could be heard. Smoke was coming out of his body. He coughed. “I can’t get out…”
“…” The Thunder God waved his hand and removed the thunder barrier. He deeply stared into Moses’s eyes and hesitated for a while before speaking. “You’ve changed. I almost couldn’t recognize you.”
“Have I?” Moses asked back.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Upon hearing that, Moses started unleashing powerful attacks towards the Thunder God.
However, this series of attacks didn’t harm the Thunder God in any way or anger him, at all.
Not only did the Thunder God have a real physical body, but he was also extremely powerful. It merely took a wave of his hand to turn all of Moses’s magic to nothing.
The Thunder God stared Moses in the eye. “There’s not much time for you to become stronger. I don’t have much time either. My reincarnation doesn’t want to inherit what I have left for him. It seems that you have made the same choice as him. If not, it would have been impossible for you to still be an enchanter…
“Have our reincarnations changed?
“Or has the world changed?”
William swallowed and squatted at a corner. He didn’t even blink, treating himself as a transparent object.
Moses looked at William and turned to face the Thunder God. “Everything has changed. Perhaps there are some ‘Gods’ who want to return to their previous glory, but it’s impossible!
“The intelligent races of today have found a new path.
“Should one aim to become a God?
“Or a sage?
“Which path will lead one to greater heights?
“Should one strive to condense a Divine Essence that relies on people to believe in it to exist?
“Or should one rely on their own power?
“This, no one can say for sure.
“Nonetheless, I chose not to become a God. I want to create another path.”
Moses’s words caused the Thunder God to sink into a state of confusion. At the side, William stared with his eyes wide open, dumbfounded.
“Damnit, this is breaking news! No wonder some reincarnations of Gods didn’t want to seek their inheritance. They want to become a sage instead of a God?” Some memories from William’s previous life flashed through his mind.
Suddenly, many ideas started running through his mind.
At that moment, the Thunder God’s eyes lit up, and he returned to his old arrogant and cold self.
He looked at Moses and laughed. “Have you forgotten who you once were?
“We are Gods!
“The Gods are the strongest. Without condensing a Divine Essence, who would dare to claim to be on par with a God?
“Now, I can tell you and that useless reincarnation of mine who refuses to accept my inheritance. If you don’t become a God, you will definitely die!”
“Whatever you say!” Moses didn’t want to argue with someone who had an old-fashioned mind.
The world had changed.
In the past, becoming a God seemed to be the easiest way to gain power. However, it wasn’t that simple now.
The living creatures of this era weren’t as ignorant as their predecessors. They were not idiots who knelt down and submitted to anyone who could fly.
Although they still submitted to the strong, due to the widespread influence of different ideologies, their concept of faith wasn’t as pure anymore.
To Moses, becoming a sage was way more empowering than becoming a God who relied on his people’s faith.
However, the Thunder God was extremely stubborn.
He narrowed his eyes and ignored Moses and William. He suddenly raised his hand.
In the next moment, an earth-shattering sound could be heard.
The palace above them and several hundred meters of soil suddenly exploded. The ground above them was instantly turned into dust by sizzling hot lava.
William could see the clear sky above him. He stared at it, dumbfounded.
“You say that sages are strong?”
“I’ll test them then…” The Thunder God suddenly closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, a young man in the Temple of Light suddenly froze for a moment. The young man’s expression turned grim.
“Damnit! Coming to find me once he has awakened. Aren’t there other sages in the southern region? Why does he have to come so far to pick a fight?”
“What happened?” In the Temple of Light, the deputy Temple Lord glanced at the young Supreme Pontiff of Light. What was it again? Hadn’t the young Supreme Pontiff of Light been saying that he was the number one expert?
What was going on now?
Did someone finally disagree with that and want to challenge him?
Tsk, tsk!
That would be immensely satisfying.
Who wanted to challenge the Supreme Pontiff, though?
The Supreme Pontiff looked at the deputy Temple Lord, who was obviously not thinking favorably of him. “If I can’t beat him, I’ll give my Supreme Pontiff position to you!”
“Sure, I’ve been waiting for you to say that for over a thousand years…” The deputy Temple Lord rubbed his hands together, almost drooling at the thought of becoming the Supreme Pontiff.
It didn’t take long for the Thunder God to sense the presence of the Supreme Pontiff of Light. Among all the sages in the Legendary continent, the Supreme Pontiff of Light had the strongest aura. He had never tried to cover or hide his aura.
If the Legendary continent was like a black map, the aura of powerful experts were specks of light on the map.
But only the Supreme Pontiff of Light’s aura was like a huge sun.
It wasn’t that other sages were weaker, it was just that they preferred to keep a low profile.
In particular, the sages in the southern region wished that they could seal themselves after sensing that the Thunder God had appeared…
To the Thunder God, the Supreme Pontiff of Light wasn’t acting cool by doing so, but he appeared truly powerful and confident in his ability.
No matter what, the Thunder God would annihilate that fool!
Or actually, he might help that guy become stronger instead. Otherwise, in the future, there wouldn’t be any powerful experts in the Gods continent.
The next second, he shot upwards into the sky like a cannon. As thunder roared, he vanished into the horizon, just like a bolt of lightning.
He was so fast that he had disappeared in a split second, leaving a faint trail behind him…
William was stunned, and his mouth twitched. “Where is he going?”
“He’s a God,” Moses mumbled.
“What do you mean?”
“He’s trying to prove that he’s a God.”
“I see…”
“He wants to take action and tell everyone that Gods are the masters of this Gods continent. Or rather… he wants to create an opponent for the other Gods.” Moses frowned. He couldn’t really tell what the silly Thunder God had in mind, but he didn’t think too much into it. The next moment, he also disappeared into thin air.
Sounds of footsteps could be heard in the next instant.
Hundreds of guards rushed into the temple of Thunder God and looked at Lord William, who was stupefied. Then, they glanced at the blue sky above them, speechless.
At this moment, a deafening thunder roared above the Temple of Light.
The old deputy Temple Lord activated the Temple’s magical barrier.
Numerous Temple Knights, clerics, and experts were strengthening the barrier and ensuring its stability.
In the next second, a figure crashed at the entrance of the Temple of Light, resembling that of a meteorite.
Roaring shockwaves rippled outwards, reaching tens of thousands of meters away. The ground was cracking and continually sinking.
Another figure appeared and headed straight towards the intruder at lightning speed.
The two figures collided into each other.
Countless spatial rifts appeared in the sky above the Temple of Light. The deafening noises made it seem as if it were the end of the world.
Energy waves spread in all directions, knocking against the Temple of Light’s magical barrier and making booming noises.
Many Temple of Light professionals froze at the sight of this.
Several guests from external forces were afraid that they would die here now.

A few Legendary messengers from the three empires went to the deputy Temple Lord. “Don’t just stand there, help!”
“Help? Why don’t you guys find sages from your own forces to help?” The deputy Temple Lord’s mouth twitched. The Thunder God was a main God.
The deputy Temple Lord was just a little sage with average potential and endowments. His bloodline was not superior too. He was pretty old now and no longer agile. Could these people bear to send an old man to fight a God?
The Legendary bystanders were left speechless. It was the first time that they had seen a God in real life.
This God unleashed a powerful attack the moment he had arrived and didn’t bother with any formalities.
The sight of endless lightning and thunder surrounding that figure was magnificent. This person was probably the Thunder God?
Gosh, a living main God?
The most shocking thing was that, for some reason, an incredible surge had happened in the Supreme Pontiff of Light’s combat power after he saw that there was an intruder.
He merely used one punch to cause an explosion in the sky and forced the Thunder God to retreat tens of thousands of meters.
After he threw another powerful punch, the Thunder God was sent flying again.
The Thunder God, who was rather annoyed, summoned tens of thousands of lightning bolts that seemed enough to destroy the entire world.
However, the Supreme Pontiff of Light just took a deep breath and threw his third punch.
Everyone at the scene closed their eyes. The dazzling light that the punch produced had made it impossible for anyone to keep their eyes open.
Boom! Boom!
With a loud noise, the punch seemed to create a huge hole in the sky that looked like a gate…
It was the gate to the World of Gods!
After that, everyone realized that the Thunder God was gone.
Consequently, that gate, which led to the World of Gods, was closed too.
The young Supreme Pontiff of Light delivered a message to the entire continent in a faint voice.
“Are there any more Gods?
“If there are, I’ll send you home.”
The entire Legendary continent was silent.
After that day, the Supreme Pontiff of Light became more highly regarded by all. It was said that he was equivalent to a God.
It was said that he was invincible in this entire continent, or rather, the entire universe!
