For Odin and Alice, Laeve’s visit brought about many uncertainties.
Whether they met with her or not, there would be plenty of complications. After all, this individual was destined to become a true god in the future.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Alice finally made a decision.
"Since she needs it, let’s give her all the plants she requires."
"After all, she’s a god. It’s best not to offend her. Hopefully, one day in the future, she’ll remember the help we offered today."
Odin nodded gently. He fully agreed with Alice’s reasoning.
At present, the human race was hidden away on a cluster of islands deep within the Storm Sea.
The humans who had chosen to stay here had been able to multiply and live, as far as possible, away from the gaze of outsiders.
Even the human awakener who had unfortunately fallen was placed in a space specially created by Daniel before, where they could be resurrected once the future came.
Actually, 30,000 years wasn’t enough to completely deplete the life span of these human awakeners.
A considerable portion of them, upon realizing that they had no hope of advancing further, would choose to end their lives in order to preserve their remaining lifespan.
After all, once their lifespan reached its limit, it meant that even if they were resurrected, they would immediately turn into an elderly person on the verge of death.
So, choosing suicide as a means to preserve one’s life was also the route Alice and the others had initially chosen.
If there was still hope, they would participate in the advancement ceremony. If not, they would try to preserve their lives as much as possible, hoping for other opportunities after resurrection.
The human race’s numbers were too vast, and even in ancient times, there were many places with abundant opportunities, yet many human awakeners still failed to find their own destiny, which was a normal occurrence.
Meanwhile, on the Storm Sea,
Laeve leaned wearily against her canoe and yawned.
This was already her second year of drifting. While the scenery of the Storm Sea was nice, this prolonged period had certainly become monotonous.
At that moment, Laeve saw a cluster of islands in the distance, her eyes lighting up slightly.
"Wait, I think I found it!"
"It seems the legend is true. Deep within the Storm Sea, there exists a hidden, mysterious kingdom."
"I just wonder if the islands ahead are that hidden kingdom?"
"I have to hurry up and finish this task of cultivating plants, or I might never be able to star upgrade in this life."
With this thought, Laeve channeled her power.
In the next moment, the canoe sped up several times. However, for some unknown reason, even though the islands seemed to be right ahead, no matter how much Laeve accelerated, she couldn’t get any closer.
It felt as though the two were no longer in the same space.
Laeve became a bit discouraged, but she didn’t give up. Instead, she accelerated the canoe again.
This time, after a period of progress, Laeve noticed a massive barrel in the sea ahead.
Curious, she pulled the barrel onto her small boat.
When she opened the barrel, she found a large number of seeds wrapped in damp, coarse cloth at the bottom.
Upon seeing these unique seeds, Laeve’s face was filled with excitement.
"Oh my God, there are so many!"
"This task is definitely going to be completed!"
"And look, there are even the legendary God Vines, I hit the jackpot!"
"Praise the great mysterious Empire!"
"Wait... why do they not allow my visit?"
Laeve furrowed her brows and thought for a moment, but ultimately came up empty. She shrugged and tossed the troubling thoughts aside.
"Forget it, forget it. I won’t think about it anymore. Completing the task is what’s important."
Years passed by swiftly, and in the towering mountain castle, another Fake God was born.
Looking at the newly developed Fake God, Alice couldn’t help but sigh to herself.
"Counting properly, this is already the 18th Fake God of our human race, isn’t it?"
Odin nodded but then sighed deeply.
"Sigh, it’s still too slow. In these 30,000 years, our human race has only produced 18 Fake Gods, and there’s not even one Demigod Rank. I really don’t know how I’m going to explain this to His Majesty Daniel when we meet in the future."
Back in the day, with Daniel’s help, Odin had become a Fake God in just a single day.
Honestly, at that time, he hadn’t even felt how difficult the advancement ceremony was.
But after leaving Daniel, Odin had truly realized just how hard it was to complete the Fake God advancement ceremony.
Especially after seeing the new Fake Gods over the years, each one of their advancement ceremonies had been a long and arduous preparation, making him understand the difficulty of the process.
Even though Odin had full confidence in his own strength, after some serious thought, he realized the difficulty of the advancement ceremony.
In comparison, the ancient gods found it much easier to advance.
After all, for the ancient gods, as long as they reached the required level, they would naturally be promoted.
As Odin and Alice were talking, suddenly, the aura of a Fake God descended nearby.
It was a bloody hunt!
Under the pursuit of the Fake God, many human demigods were forced to flee in a panic.
"Odin, do you think we need to intervene?"
Odin opened his mouth, ready to speak, but then saw a human Fake God act from afar!
"Damned crawler Saeger, it was because you injured me back then that my advancement ceremony failed. Now that I’ve finally become a Fake God, I will never let you off!"
The next moment, a human Fake God named Qiry immediately took action!
Without hesitation, he raised his fist and smashed it in Saeger’s direction!
Almost instantly, he activated his domain.
"Field of Strength, absolute power collision!"
In the next moment, Qiry’s muscles exploded with power!
The air around him radiated an immense aura!
Saeger didn’t even have time to react before Qiry charged like a cannonball!
His fist, the size of a sandbag, smashed into Saeger’s divine body.
"Take my [Heaven-breaking Punch]!"
Boom!
The punch landed, and the entire ground trembled slightly!
When the power was unleashed to its extreme, the destruction it caused was immediate and obvious!
As for Saeger, this Fake God was sent flying by a single punch!
