Chapter 26: God!?

After an indeterminate length of time, as Nian Zhen awoke from the pain, he felt as if he had been dreaming.

Waking up, Nian Zhen felt a warm ray of light gently caressing his face. Squinting his eyes, Nian Zhen found himself lying on a grassland, just outside of the town where the entrance of the Slaughter City was located.

Adjusting his energy, Nian Zhen stood up. Putting on a new set of clothes and a black blindfold, Nian Zhen suddenly felt a strong man coming towards him.

"It seems you are out, boy" A hoarse voice came from the figure.

"..sob...sob...old man you waited for me all this time? I love you.." Nian Zhen said shamelessly, running towards Tang Hao. Holding Tang Hao's leg, Nian Zhen wiped plenty of snots, saliva and fake tears on Tang Hao's clothes.

"...Bastard!" Tang Hao grumbled, trying to kick away the trash on his knees. To his surprise Nian Zhen avoided the kick effortlessly.

"...It seems you have grown strong. Did you obtain the 'Death God Domain'?" Tang Hao asked, maintaining a certain distance from Nian Zhen.

"Yes….well there were actually three people who got the 'Death God Domain'..." Nian Zhen said.

"Three!!?" Tang Hao stiffened up. Going through the Hell road was no joke. He had some belief in Nian Zhang but to think there would be others too.

"Hmm. One of them was the Northern Berserker who was getting famous 2 years ago, the other one was a mysterious black robed man. We had entered the Road at the same time but as soon as I woke up, the two had completely vanished." Nian Zhen said with a truthful face.

"Northern Berserker….and a mysterious figure?" Tang Hao pondered. If this was really the truth, it will be necessary to take some actions.

"Kid. Now that I see you are fine, I will go back now. You should be able to reach Heaven Dou City if you go that way. Good luck on your...uh...journey." Tang Hao said before vanishing off somewhere.

"And he is gone for good this time. At least now his suspicion of me should have cleared up a bit. Even the possibility of them being my clones should have vanished completely. He must be thinking that if the Slaughter King found nothing suspicious than Northern Berserker and I are two different beings." Nian Zhen thought.

After a while, Nian Zhen created a clone.

"You act as Hongchen, go back to Suotuo City. I will send your next task to Si Lao." Nian Zhen said to his clone acting as Hongchen. Following his order, the clone disappeared towards Suotuo City.

"I will act as Hei Linghun while I stay at Heaven Dou City. By the way, Enron, I think I heard something about some abilities getting unlocked?" Nian Zhen thought.

(AN: I am going to change the name from 'Hei Pao' to 'Hei Linghun' cozz it sounds better. The name means 'Black Soul')

[Yes host. But before that it is suggested to go find a safe and hidden place to stay for a while.]

"...Okay." Nian Zhen said, now acting as Hei Linghun as he darted off towards a certain direction.

Nighttime, Inside a cave.

Nian Zhen was sitting infront of a bonfire while roasting a Fish type spirit beast he caught on his way here.

"So now answer me. Show me my status" Nian Zhen said to Enron.

Death God Domain obtained

Unknown Ability detected.

Does the Host want to obtain the ability 'Six Eyes'?]

[Death God Domain: The domain is close to a physical manifestation of the murderous aura. The killing intent is absorbed and condensed into a domain, which can be released at any time.

Abilities:

Domination: It provides imposing manners and pressure formed from killing intent which can leave the opponents unable to display their full strength, but the user himself can exhibit one hundred twenty percent of their strength. With the growth of spirit, the proportion of weakening the opponent and strengthening oneself will also increase.

Slaughter Assault: Releases the Deathgod Domain straight in one direction, after locking on to the target. The speed would increase by one hundred percent, the attack power would increase by thirty percent. This boost is effective on any attack launched, including spirit abilities.]

"Though my Spirit Rank has not increased much, the abilities that have been learned and unlocked are huge benefits I received this time." Nian Zhen thought.

"And… 'Six Eyes? What does it do?"

[Needs to be obtained before the Host can access information.]

"Is this a scam..?" Nian Zhen thought.

"...Go ahead. Let me obtain it." Nian Zhen said.

['Six Eyes' Obtained. Requires Special Conditions to be met.]

"What Conditions?" Nian Zhen asked.

[Unable to answer.]

"Sigh...show me the details then." Nian Zhen said to Enron.

[Six Eyes: Six Eyes allows the host to reduce his cursed energy consumption from technique activation infinitesimally near to nothing, causing the host to never run out of spirit energy in a fight as a result.]

"Uh-huh….Seems legit." Nian Zhen said.

"By the way, why did the other abilities unlock?" Nian Zhen asked.

[Not entirely sure but it seems the host completed a certain criteria to unlock them. It could be anything. Reaching a certain age, clearing the hell road, getting the Death God Domain, reaching a certain rank, etc.]

"Then...What Rank is my power comparable to now?" Nian Zhen asked.

[According to the sanctuary, the host's power is at least comparable to the early stage of 3rd class gods.]

"!!!" Nian Zhen was petrified when he heard this. While he was just level 65 he already had power comparable to the peak of the God Officer. What will happen when he actually reaches that realm.

"Then do you think I will be able to battle God Kings when I reach the rank of Titled Douluo?"

[This may not be possible. God Kings are on a whole different level. The host must at least be a second class god to be able to battle God Kings.]

"Hmm...This is enough for now. With this I will be able to begin the 'Plan'" Nian Zhen thought as he looked towards the golden fire.

[Host, where are we headed now?]

"There are still many other places that have the Ancient Forge Clans stuff. For now, let's head to the Clear Sky Sect."

[Host do you know where it is located?]

"Yes. Si Lao has found the place but we need a pass to enter it."

[Are you gonna ask Tang Hao for the pass?]

"Well I could that but.....I have another way to get the pass. Let's head to the Moon Pavilion located at Heaven Dou City." Nian Zhen said with a strange grin on his face.
