Chapter 269: Chapter 269 – Divinity
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Golden flames covered the surroundings, turning this world of nothingness into a world of flames.
Chen Heng stood within the flames, being reborn.
As time passed, he absorbed that skull’s energy, and his body began to be restored.
Bang! Bang!
Loud, muffled sounds rang out like some massive creature’s heartbeat.
Within the golden flames, flesh and blood began to grow on the skeleton, like a reversal of what had happened.
At first, it was just thin arteries and veins, followed by blood, flesh, and organs.
If anyone else saw this, they would be incredibly stunned and be quite shocked.
In just a moment, a skeleton had turned into a completely different state.
If anyone heard about this, they would definitely be dumbfounded.
Chen Heng felt that this was quite amazing as well.
Before, when his blood and flesh had disappeared, he had lost all senses. He had lost all feeling, whether it be pain, sadness, or joy, leaving behind just his soul within his skeleton.
However, everything changed in an instant.
A new energy flowed into his body, restoring him to his previous appearance.
But that was not all.
At this moment, Chen Heng could clearly sense the changes in his body.
Even though his strength had not changed, his overall potential greatly increased.
Standing there, Chen Heng fell silent for a while before looking to the side.
Boom!
As he looked over, a wave of golden fire began to burn, giving off incredible power.
“This power…”
Seeing this, Chen Heng instinctively frowned and felt quite surprised.
Just then, he had not used his magic energy, nor had he done anything actively.
He had merely looked in that direction and thought to himself, resulting in this situation.
It was like an instinct.
It was just like how humans could naturally breathe and fish could swim.
This was not something that Chen Heng had before.
Standing there, Chen Heng sensed the changes in his body.
Undoubtedly, after being reconstructed, his body had gone through great changes.
Chen Heng could feel that there was a new energy within his body, hidden within it.
After a while, Chen Heng waved his hand.
A mirror appeared before him, revealing his appearance.
He saw a young man, who looked around 16 or 17 years old. His expression was calm, and he looked quite handsome. Even though he was quite young, he had great charm.
On his forehead, there was a trace of fire, which seemed to contain a unique energy and would draw much attention.
A noble and holy aura spread out from the young man’s body, as well as might.
Looking at the figure in the mirror, Chen Heng felt quite surprised.
Even though he was still the same person, there were slight changes, making him look quite extraordinary.
The most eye-catching change was the fire mark on his forehead.
“Fire mark…” Chen Heng stared.
If he remembered correctly, the Hatim family that he was from seemed to have a similar mark on their family crest.
And now, a similar mark had appeared on his forehead.
Was it a coincidence?
That did not seem likely.
At that moment, Chen Heng thought back to Herdosiri’s words.
Because of Chen Heng’s actions, Herdosiri had thought that he had activated the Hatim family’s divine bloodline.
Chen Heng had thought that it was just a misunderstanding, but now it seemed that it was real.
It seemed that the baptism from the energy caused the dormant bloodline within Chen Heng’s body to be activated, causing him to gain all kinds of power from it.
In the past, Chen Heng was not some Bloodline Awakener but now it seemed that this was no longer the case.
Thinking to there, Chen Heng shook his head.
“How troublesome…” Chen Heng thought to himself.
In front of him, the skull was still on the altar.
It was just that as he looked on, the skull started to go through some changes.
After all of its energy had been absorbed, it became transparent.
The crack on the skull also seemed to become more obvious.
With a crack, the skull completely split open into multiple parts, before turning into dust.
A golden light flashed.
As Chen Heng watched on, two auras appeared: They were thin strings, one of which was gold and the other which was black.
As these two things appeared, a pure, holy aura appeared, accompanied by a suffocatingly terrifying might.
Just looking at those two things, Chen Heng felt suffocated.
At the same time, many pieces of information appeared in Chen Heng’s mind.
They were incredibly massive and chaotic and almost overwhelmed him.
Feeling this, Chen Heng’s face became pale, and he just silently activated the power hidden in his body.
Soon, a golden light flashed out in front of him.
“Detected Law’s mystery… extracting…”
“Would you like to proceed?”
“Yes,” Chen Heng replied.
He had no choice—these two things completely surpassed what he could bear, and without the simulator, he would most likely die here.
As he made the choice, the simulator’s power activated.
The two things seemed to be attracted by something and began to slowly flow into Chen Heng’s body.
As the two lights flashed, a warm feeling spread throughout Chen Heng’s body, and he felt even more changes happening within his body.
Under the effects of the simulator, those two things fused into him and became a part of him.
Chen Heng’s body went through changes again, and he seemed to become even higher grade.
A wave of information flowed into his mind.
“Divinity…”
As he digested those two things, the information hidden within them were also received by him.
From that information, Chen Heng realized what those things were.
They were Divinity.
The so-called Divinity was something that only gods could condense and possess.
Those two things from before were different Divinities.
“One was Shadow and one was Light…” Chen Heng thought to himself.
Of those two Divinities, one represented Shadow and one represented Light.
They belonged to different domains and attributes.
“Could it be…” Chen Heng looked at the altar and thought back to that skull from before.
There had been a crack on the skull, as if it had been left from a fight.
Was that where those two Divinities came from?
One belonged to that skull, whereas the other belonged to the one who had killed that skull.
The owners of the two Divinities had fought, and after they had fallen, their Divinities were still fighting here, resulting in this result.
This seemed to be able to explain why there were two different Divinities.
However, Chen Heng still had some questions about the owner of that skull, as well as why this area became like this…
However, it seemed that he would not be able to obtain any answers.
To Chen Heng, the most important thing right now was to leave this place.
“Received information about Law, the simulator has restarted…”
Words appeared before Chen Heng.
Chen Heng had a look and felt quite pleased.
After taking in those two Divinities, his simulator was no longer dormant and had started up again.
However, this had reduced much of his Points, leaving only 300 or so.
Those Points had been used up in taking in the Divinities.
After all, even if the simulator could suppress the Divinities, that power did not come from nowhere and consumed Points.
Chen Heng did not care much about the usage of Points.
To him, as long as the simulator could successfully operate, it was not a problem.
Right now, his biggest problem was how to leave this place.
After a moment, he could not help but stare.
Fog once again rose up, covering this area.
Within Chen Heng’s senses, everything in the surroundings seemed to have disappeared.
After gaining the Shadow Divinity, Chen Heng became more sensitive to Shadow energy, and he could clearly sense that the Shadow energy in the surroundings was changing.
The Shadow energy in the surroundings caused the space here to move, transporting to a different place.
Sensing this, Chen Heng felt as if he could use the Shadow Divinity to affect the Shadow energy in the surroundings to an extent, allowing him to change the direction.
However, he did not actually do so and just silently observed.
As he watched on, the fog in the surroundings began to dissipate.
Old houses appeared in the surroundings—he had returned to the village from before.
After the fog dissipated, Chen Heng saw a figure standing not too far away.
It was Herdosiri.
He was still holding Lamu and was covered with injuries.
His aura had originally been quite powerful, but now it was incredibly weak.
Despite this, he still held Lamu, not letting go.
“Are we… safe now…” Herdosiri muttered as he knelt onto the ground.
Lamu also fell to the ground, looking like he was on his last breath.
Their auras were incredibly weak, and it seemed that even though they had escaped danger, they would not live for long.
Seeing this, Chen Heng frowned—he quite appreciated Herdosiri and Lamu.
They were good people and had helped Chen Heng’s previous identity before.
It could be said that without their help, Chen Heng’s previous identity would not have survived until Chen Heng descended, and he would have long since become a corpse.
From another perspective, they were both quite good Knights, and it seemed like he could gain their loyalty.
If he could save them, he would be able to take in his first subordinates in this world.
However, Chen Heng now discovered a problem—he did not have any healing magic skills.
As a Sorcerer, Chen Heng had learned many magic skills before, but had never been interested in learning healing magic skills.
1
Back in the Sorcerer World, he had the power of the Faith Mark and could use the Faith Mark to achieve healing effects.
1
However, he no longer had the Faith Mark and could not use faith energy to heal.
That was the problem.
Did he have to just watch them die?
Standing there, Chen Heng thought for a moment before suddenly thinking of something.
“Let’s try…” he said as he walked over.
He looked at Herdosiri and stretched out his hand.
Within his body, the dormant, golden Light Divinity came to life.
As Chen Heng watched on in surprise, a golden light flashed.
Pure white light came out from his hand, shining on Herdosiri and Lamu’s bodies.
“This feeling…”
As the light shined on his body, Herdosiri reacted and looked up.
A warm feeling spread through his body, and he felt as if every cell in his body was rejoicing.
It was as if he had been reborn, and his many wounds began to heal as his pale face gradually reddened.
“This is…”
Sensing this, Herdosiri’s heart trembled as he looked at Chen Heng, “Great Healing… this is a high-level divine skill…”
“He actually…”
His heart was filled with shock as he stared at Chen Heng, not knowing what to say.
Ahead, the pure white light continuously entered the two people’s bodies.
