Chapter 794: Chapter 794: Growing Fame
Fang Jie felt no sense of loss because he had been prepared all along. To build the most stable foundation and go further in the future, he knew he could not leave behind any hidden threats, not even Divine Power Crystals.
Moreover, Divine Power Crystals were made by Emperor Skeleton, an individual who had only recently achieved godhood.
Such Divine Power Crystals contained more impurities and were of lower quality. However, they had the advantage of being easier to refine since Emperor Skeleton had a lesser grasp of his own laws.
The higher the level of the deity, the more their laws would be fused within the Divine Power Crystals they refined.
High-level Divine Power Crystals were not something ordinary demigods could refine. If one absorbed such crystals, their path might align with the original owner’s, leading to conflict.
This was why, despite their apparent insignificance to gods, deities rarely offered Divine Power Crystals.
One slip up could equate to creating many future enemies for oneself.
Even if these enemies were not very strong, they were certainly a nuisance.
Having absorbed one crystal himself, Fang Jie needed to recuperate before absorbing another. Consecutive absorption risked leaving hidden threats, indicating the gap between Divine Power Crystals and Origin Power.
Within just a few days, Fang Jie had managed to secure his surroundings.
Then, Emperor Skeleton issued a direct command, having discovered the formidable strength of Fang Jie’s forces.
With such a vast army, his own Combat Power, and many demigod subordinates at his disposal, it would be wasteful not to act. Fang Jie didn’t mind, his inaction stemmed from a reluctance to make too many enemies.
But now, with the command from a god, it was a completely different matter.
After all, this was war, and those under the god’s command had to comply.
In doing so, even if many were killed, it would not necessarily provoke hostility from others. To them, Fang Jie abided by rules and had limits. If the gods required too much, that wasn’t the fault of a demigod.
Every level of being had their own perspective on various issues.
With the order in hand, Fang Jie could now justifiably set out to kill. However, with each victory, he quickly and completely seized control of enemy territories. Soon enough, a sizable base was under his control.
"We’re running low on forces; it looks like we need to create some more, increasing our army by tens of millions," Fang Jie thought silently to himself after conquering another territory, noticing his Undead Army thinning out.
What Fang Jie didn’t realize was that his reputation was quietly spreading.
The Beastmen, one by one, shunned any proximity to Fang Jie, even going so far as to highlight their difficulties when commanded by higher-ups. There was no helping it; it was indeed difficult, as carelessness could cost lives.
They came here to improve their own lives, not to throw them away.
The best outcome was to earn some credentials by dealing with the opponent and exchanging them for goods. Especially the Lords, who sought godhood and had no intention of risking their lives.
Fang Jie was different; his strength was overwhelming. Engaging him in combat could easily result in death.
And yet, if they could also easily kill their enemies, they wouldn’t hold back. Only when killing the enemy could lead to their own losses would they opt for a draw.
Unfortunately, most battles were just like that.
"What do we do? Killing Star is approaching; let’s unite."
"Unite what? Even together, we’re no match. According to our estimates, Fang Jie’s strength is at least that of a top-tier demigod, and he possesses additional laws of different types."
Such a person with various methods and formidable strength was the most troublesome to deal with.
Demigod level beings could comprehend additional laws, but few chose this path.
With limited time, energy, and not everyone having great insight. Besides, the resources for enhancing strength were not to be squandered. It was usually only after becoming a god that one would be interested in other laws.
Of course, the primary focus would still be on one’s own laws. Other laws were simply to cover any shortfalls.
Comprehending laws of the same type could be essential, serving to perfect one’s own laws. However, Fang Jie’s comprehension was clearly not of the same type, but rather of four entirely different types.
Such individuals were best left unprovoked.
They didn’t know that this was also why Fang Jie had been holding back lately. Otherwise, having absorbed so many Divine Power Crystals, Fang Jie’s current strength had immensely improved, and he hadn’t even revealed some spells.
"Alas, such a person should not be left for us to handle."
This person glanced upward, knowing this was to see what the gods thought. Without divine intervention, such formidable beings were unlikely to perish. But, in such situations, how could that be possible?
One look was all it took to understand that this person was surely a prized cultivator of the enemy camp.
With a divine guardian, if a god from his side took action, the opposing gods would respond in kind. And once gods disregarded the rules on a large scale, it would be troublesome.
Moreover, such rules were there for the gods themselves to obey. If they were the first to break them, with the enemy potentially assassinating their promising demigods, who would join them then? Their Divine Race would only weaken over time.
Unless Fang Jie made an evident mistake, the opposing gods would definitely not make a move.
What they didn’t realize was that the demigods from the Undead System were similarly perplexed by the sudden emergence of such a powerful entity, which they had never known about before.
It wasn’t easy to hide such a person.
Usually, a demigod with connections would be aware of the existence of other powerful demigods. On one hand, to avoid inciting them, and on the other, to potentially connect with them one day, as a means to an end.
The gods from the Undead System, especially Cloud God, were also astounded.
Cloud God hadn’t thought much of Fang Jie since he was just a demigod. But now, recalling his rapid advancement, it was clear Fang Jie was a True Body seed.
"It seems I need to protect him, to prevent his premature demise," Cloud God pondered, uttering a comment. Afterward, his divine subordinates would handle the matter. A mere message would greatly increase Fang Jie’s safety.
Meanwhile, Fang Jie, oblivious to all this, awaited his next mission to continue the struggle.
