CHAPTER 479: Project God Making

Through the narrow crack, Han Shuo's glittering eyes stared at the few standing on the platform above the Ice Goddess statue, cautiously eavesdropping on their conversation.

"When will the project really be completed? It's been over a hundred years," sighed a disciple of the Ice Shrine.

"Since the beginning of the Godmaking Project and until now, our shrine has consumed incalculable labour and material resources. And now the most critical moment has come. We cannot afford to be careless. The reason why our Ice Shrine has always been suppressed by the Church of Light and the Church of Calamity is that our Ice Shrine does not have its own true God on the Profound Continent, without whom miracles could never be performed in this world. That's why we couldn't even recruit more followers. Once the God-making project is successful, our Ice Shrine will be able to change the current situation once and for all, and become a shrine that the entire continent will look up to. No more doing what others want," another disciple said in a cold voice.

Project God Making?

Han Shuo was stunned by what he heard.

By now, Han Shuo had long accepted that there were indeed gods in this world. The Evil Goddess Rose, who had previously attacked Han Shuo's consciousness from several planes of existence; the Saintess, who hid deep within the Sacred Mountain of the Church of Light; the Six-Horned Tribal King of the Soul Race with unparalleled power. All of these were proof to Han Shuo that the gods were undoubtedly real.

However, as far as Han Shuo knew, even the weakest god would have gone through tens of millions of years of cultivation, gradually coming to understand the elements of the world, or the true nature of the laws of nature. Only then, with a little luck, could they break through their own shackles and become a god.

This was truly the first time Han Shuo had ever heard the term 'god-making'. It was the most selfish and shocking thing he had heard in years. At this point, the Ice Shrine was essentially destroying his most basic understanding of gods.

Was a god really something that could be manufactured?

"This project is in its final stages. In due time, we will be able to complete this project and achieve the magnificent feat of directly evolving a Divine Favour into a God in the span of only a few hundred years. What a great undertaking this is! We cannot afford to make any mistakes during this time," one of the men said in a deep voice. There was an inexplicable arrogance in his tone.

A divine favour? Han Shuo was confused again. After thinking about it for a while, he became fully convinced of the validity of this project.

Those who possessed a divinely favoured body had body structures that were different from an average person's, and usually had special abilities. They might have extraordinary strength, like Janet, or be like Elizabeth, who had the ability to absorb divine energy.

There were also many of the Divinely Favoured who could easily connect with certain elements in the world. Once they started practising in that area of magic, they would make amazing, unimaginable progress. They could achieve what an ordinary person could achieve, but in perhaps a tenth or even a hundredth of the time.

For what seemed like an eternity, Han Shuo had been fascinated by those who possessed a Body of Divine Favour, baffled by the special abilities their unique bodies bestowed upon them. After listening to the conversation between the few people above him, Han Shuo came to a simple realisation.

Could it be that these Divine Favour were descendants of the gods?

"That's enough. Let's hurry. Pour the energy crystals and leave!" one of them was a bit impatient and hurried.

After finishing his words, Han Shuo immediately began to pay even closer attention to the platform above the statue. He saw that they were taking out fragments of intense water element crystals from their space rings, carefully holding them with magic, and then inserting them into a small crack in the skull of the Ice Goddess statue.

As the water element crystal fragments fell into the statue, they quickly dissolved with the ice water compound inside. Through the mixture, threads of Water Element gradually flowed into the naked young woman at the womb of the statue.

In no time at all, the men had deposited heaps of energy crystals into the statue of the Ice Goddess. They watched carefully for a while, and after making sure that the Ice Goddess statue was nominally functioning, they finally withdrew the platform that had split from the wall and disappeared from Han Shuo's sight.

After the few had left, Han Shuo immediately turned all his attention back to this Ice Goddess statue. As he looked at this gigantic statue that the Ice Shrine had wasted a hundred years creating, he cried out in astonishment in his heart.

This young lady with cold, jade-like skin, who was inside the Ice Goddess statue, showed no perceptible presence of life. She was like a unique receptacle, accumulating enormous amounts of energy from the ice-water mixture in her body.

After pondering for a moment while staring at this Ice Goddess statue, Han Shuo made up his mind immediately. He had to destroy this Ice Goddess statue, including whatever was inside it that could produce a "true god". There was nothing but irreconcilable bad blood between the Ice Goddess Shrine and Han Shuo. It was because the Ice Shrine currently had no godly existences that Han Shuo was able to go on the offensive in his war against the Ice Shrine.

However, once this god expert was produced, Han Shuo believed that the Ice Shrine would never let go of him, and when that moment came, this godly expert would be on his trail indefinitely. Therefore, Han Shuo decided to set aside Ice Celestial Corey for the time being and take advantage of the fact that the Godmaking Project had not yet been completed to eliminate this enemy who could potentially pose the greatest threat to him.

All around the Ice Goddess statue, an intense water element was present. Han Shuo had discovered its mysterious magical boundaries and traps as soon as he entered the chamber. It was quite easy for Han Shuo to get under the building where Ice Celestial Corey was by using the energy of the Metal Elite Zombie. But getting to the Ice Goddess statue without touching any magical boundaries or traps wasn't nearly as easy.

His eyes sparkled. Han Shuo decided to break through the boundaries and traps and destroy this Ice Goddess statue with savage means. In his mind, he began to consider the procedures of his operation, weighing what would be the quickest way to destroy this possible threat in the future.

At that moment, a light bulb went on above his head. He remembered the Water Elite Zombie. The Water Elite Zombie, refined with the Yuan energy of water, possessed the skilled ability to manipulate ice and water. In this region, the boundaries and traps around the Ice Goddess statue were actually made of ice or water. With the Water Elite Zombie, he might be able to go straight to the Ice Goddess statue without alerting anyone.

As this thought crossed Han Shuo's mind, he immediately put it into action. After reciting an incantation, the Water Elite Zombie appeared beside Han Shuo. Metal Elite Zombie took the initiative and stepped back, making room for Water Elite Zombie to stand shoulder to shoulder with Han Shuo.

"Do you have a way to get me to the goddess statue without alerting anyone?" Han Shuo transmitted.

The water elite zombie did not immediately reply. After some time had passed, Water Elite Zombie still did not transmit any message. This left Han Shuo somewhat confused.

Of the five elite zombies, although Water Elite Zombie came relatively late and did not possess a water attribute treasure, after evolving for such a long time, it should have long possessed intelligence instead of being so sluggish!

A puzzled Han Shuo furrowed his brow. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the Water Elite Zombie to see what was wrong with him.

Han Shuo was startled by what he saw.

The Water Elite Zombie's eyes were glittering with brilliant light, and puffs of misty water vapour floated out of his body. Standing next to him, Han Shuo could feel the humidity in the surrounding area increase. Moreover, the Water Elite Zombie seemed to be emotional, as if he had suddenly stumbled upon something that made him extremely excited.

Following the Water Elite Zombie's gaze, Han Shuo discovered that he was staring blankly at the young lady inside the Ice Goddess statue. His eyes did not blink at all, as if he had turned into a fool.

Oh no! Han Shuo was alarmed. He thought to himself, "Don't tell me he actually fell in love with that girl in there?

Han Shuo's heart was all aflutter as he could not figure out what was wrong with the rather silly-looking water elite zombie.

"What's wrong?" Han Shuo shouted loudly. He did this on purpose to shake the Water Elite Zombie out of its stupor.

Han Shuo's yell was indeed effective. The Water Elite Zombie started. He looked at Han Shuo somewhat confused, but shortly after, rays of light shone brightly in his eyes. He excitedly pointed at the young lady and said to Han Shuo, "Father, I want!"

This rascal had definitely gone wrong in his evolution! He could never fuse his energy into the Penta-elemental Undead Formation. It turns out that he has evolved sexual desires, and even his eyes have become malevolent. Damn it! You little rascal, how could you evolve like that?

Han Shuo cursed in his heart as he looked at the Water Elite Zombie with his imagination running wild. For a while, he didn't know what to do. As for the five elite zombies, Han Shuo had genuine feelings for them. Although this request from the water elite zombie made Han Shuo a little bit scared, looking at the water elite zombie's excitement and impulsive urge, he couldn't bear to refuse.

After stamping his feet, Han Shuo gritted his teeth and said, "Go ahead, you little rascal. Do what you want. But make sure you do not alert anyone else. Damn it, even your brothers who came out much earlier than you are not as early matured as you are!"

After receiving Han Shuo's nod of approval, the Water Elite Zombie suddenly jumped with excitement. It went straight through the water magical traps and boundaries and landed at the feet of the Ice Goddess statue in a flash, all without triggering any boundaries or traps.

As Han Shuo continued to curse in his heart, the Water Elite Zombie fused with the Ice Goddess statue. From inside her lower leg, following the ice water mixtures, Water Elite Zombie floated directly to where the young lady was and excitedly embraced the lifeless young lady with perfect looks.
