In an instant, a five-colored light suddenly burst forth from between Li Dao's eyebrows, and a similar light also emanated from his lower dantian. However, compared to the brilliance of his upper dantian, it appeared extremely faint, like a firefly compared to the bright moon.
"Everyone, step back!" Yan hurriedly ordered, and at the same time, he moved and immediately created a distance of ten meters.
Upon hearing this, some of the angels, including A-Zhui, flew up into the sky, while others, like Yan, retreated to what they considered a safe distance before stopping and continuing to retreat.
Keisha felt the bright light and quickly took out a pair of sunglasses from the wormhole space and put them on, continuing to look at Li Dao, who looked like a light bulb.
This description is very apt, because the radiance from Li Dao's upper dantian was so intense that his head appeared to be the source of light, dazzling and eye-catching. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to compare him to a light bulb.
"There are gods watching over us!" At this moment, an extremely unfamiliar and ancient voice suddenly rang out between Li Dao's brows. Although the voice was old, it was sharp and terrifying, like a peerless and ferocious sword about to be born.
The voice sent chills down the spines of all the angels, including Keisha, and their faces turned deathly pale, as if a being more terrifying than death itself had appeared.
"What was that sound just now? It gave me a feeling of suffocation!" Yan was shocked. Her strength was even greater than that of a fourth-generation divine body, but the moment the sound rang out, she felt her hair stand on end. It was terrifying!
Keisha frowned.
She felt the same danger, even more intensely than Yan. It was a hunter-prey relationship, as if it were the end of all life!
Swish!
The moment the voice fell, the glow between his brows dissipated, and Li Dao suddenly opened his eyes. As he opened and closed them, a sharp light flashed, and his spiritual power became even stronger and more solid. In addition, with the newly conceived god opening up his spiritual sea, his spiritual power was enough to crush a third or even fourth generation gene god at will.
Such a leap in strength is simply terrifying, and this is only from one upper dantian. If he were to develop two more dantians, he would probably become an invincible being in the known universe.
"His current spiritual power is enough to destroy anyone's spiritual sea, even a fourth-generation god. His spiritual power is too surging and powerful!"
Li Dao sighed softly, then looked at the crowd. Their faces were pale, as if they had just recovered from a serious illness. Even Keisha, who had lived for more than 30,000 years, and Yan, whose strength far surpassed that of a fourth-generation god, had slightly pale faces.
It is clear that his breakthrough caused varying degrees of damage to these people.
"What's wrong with you all?" Because he believed in the angels' justice, Li Dao's mind was completely focused on his breakthrough, and he was unaware of the changes it had caused or the psychological damage it had inflicted on the others.
Yan rolled her eyes upon hearing this: "You have the nerve to say that? You just broke through, and an old voice came from between your eyebrows, almost making us unable to breathe."
"Cough cough!" Li Dao coughed twice.
He hadn't expected the breakthrough to cause such a stir, since he was still a pioneer exploring the path and had no idea what the breakthrough would cause, which led to the current awkward situation.
"Alright, let's go back to Tiancheng first and talk about it. We've been here long enough. You all should go back and continue your duties." Keisha said the first part to Yan, and the second part to the guardian angels.
The guardian angels nodded, glanced at Li Dao, and then spread their wings and flew away.
With the departure of the guardian angel, only four people remained in the same spot.
"What is your current strength?" Keisha asked curiously.
Even before breaking through, Morgana could easily suppress a fourth-generation divine body. Wouldn't she be even stronger after breaking through? Although Morgana is a bit weak and not good at combat, she is at least a fourth-generation divine body, after all, her stats are there.
Even the strongest third-generation god was no match for the weakest fourth-generation god, so she felt a bit curious.
"I think I can go toe-to-toe with Morgana, maybe 70-30," Li Dao replied after a couple of seconds of thought.
"Seven out of three?" the three women asked, puzzled.
You said you could beat Morgana? How come it's a 70/30 chance? Are you kidding us?
"I lasted seven seconds, and she split open three times!"
Chapter 196 Faith Leads to Godhood, Even He Xi Can Achieve It! (4k)
Hearing Li Dao's confident words, the three women were slightly taken aback. If it were anyone else, they might have thought he was bragging.
But if the one bragging is Li Dao, then that's a different story, since that terrifyingly old voice just now came from his body.
Moreover, Li Dao had dealt with Morgana quite a bit before, and most recently he had even severely injured her, losing even his capable lieutenant, Atai.
Now that Li Dao's strength has been enhanced again, his combat power will definitely increase significantly, and it is estimated that the fourth-generation divine body is no longer his match.
Of course, even if they are no match, they are not just some random opponent. At least for now, the fourth-generation divine body is still the most powerful force in the known universe.
Thinking this, the three women led Li Dao to the most central part of Angel City, where many female angels were stationed, all wearing silver armor and possessing strength at least at the level of second-generation super warriors.
At a glance, there were at least several hundred second-generation super soldiers. Such a huge force and profound foundation made even Li Dao sigh at the angels' wealth and power.
As expected of the strongest dictatorship in the known universe, its foundation surpasses that of any civilization except Karl, leaving even the Sun civilization far behind.
While Li Dao was observing these angels, they were also observing the former.
After all, it was no secret in the Heavenly Court of Merlo that the new king had a man, and the fact that Queen Keisha and Queen Yan brought him to the palace meant that the man in front of them was probably the one.
Before long, the four of them walked through the white jade path and entered the palace, where angels stood on both sides.
The first four of these angels were all high-ranking angels, including one of Li Dao's acquaintances, Angel Canxing, while he didn't recognize the other three.
In particular, there was an angel with white hair and red eyes that Li Dao had never seen before. He remembered that among the angels, only He Xi had silver hair, and the rest of the angels had blonde hair.
The moment Angel Canxing saw Li Dao, the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, and she winked her clear eyes at him.
"Sister Canxing, is he that Li Dao? He's quite handsome, but I wonder how good he is?" The one who spoke was naturally the white-haired, red-eyed Angel Fei.
Angel Star: "Yeah, when you were on Earth, didn't you look at his information? As for his strength, why don't you go and challenge him to a duel?"
“I was investigating Morgana at the time, so I didn’t look at his information much.” Angel Fei glanced at the somewhat mischievous Angel Canxing, then nodded to Li Dao who walked in: “I’ll spar with him after the meeting.”
Angel Star shook his head upon hearing this.
Although her sister is known as a female killing god, she rarely interacts with others except when fighting or communicating with her close sisters.
Especially when facing a man she's attracted to, even without doing anything, just her sharp eyes and the murderous aura that instills fear in even the most instinctive creatures can keep all the men who approach her at a distance.
So even now, my sister is still single; you could say she's a lifelong virgin.
She, Yingjie, and most of her sisters have all gone through the stages of being single, getting married, having children, and being widowed, but Fei remains unchanged.
“I reckon it’s because Sister Fei has taken a liking to that Li Dao,” Angel Luo suddenly said.
"Tempted?" Angel Canxing glanced at Angel Fei, but saw that Fei's phoenix eyes were sharp and gleaming. However, he still shook his head: "We angels are loyal and unwavering. If Fei takes a fancy to Li Dao, she has to ask Queen Yan for her consent!"
He Xi: "?"
"Hmm?" The whispered conversation between the three angels, Canxing and his companion, did not escape Li Dao's ears. He heard every word they said and immediately looked at the white-haired, red-eyed angel.
With white hair and red eyes, she wore a silver armor specially made for high-ranking angels. She was tall, estimated to be 1.8 meters, and had a near-perfect body proportion.
Especially her long, shapely legs, which are so captivating that it's hard to look away, and the intense murderous aura emanating from her, combined with her white hair and red eyes, gives her an extremely strong sense of eeriness and charm.
Like a thorny rose blooming in a sea of flowers.
Li Daogang looked at Angel Fei and their eyes met. After a brief eye contact, they looked away.
Because Li Dao was at the very back, these subtle movements were noticed not only by the angels on either side, but also by the three women walking in front of him.
A-Zhui did not follow them up the steps, but instead went to the first seat on the left and stood there.
When Yan became the new queen, she and Mo Yi were naturally promoted from the original left and right wing guards to the left and right wing holy guards.
Soon, the three of them walked up the steps, and at Keisha's signal, Yan sat on the throne, looking down at the angels below, her bright golden eyes sweeping over them one by one.
Li Dao stood silently beside the throne, but at that moment, he heard Keisha's girlish voice: "Li Dao, come out with me for a moment."
Li Dao looked at Keisha on the other side of the throne, only to find that she was also looking at him, clearly having something to say.
After sending a telepathic message to Yan, he nodded to Keisha, and the two of them left the main hall together through the passage behind.
"What's wrong?" After leaving the main hall, Li Dao looked at Keisha, who was walking beside him but was almost three heads shorter than him.
Keisha: "Thank you."
Li Dao was stunned, but he quickly understood why Keisha thanked him and said with a smile, "No need to thank me. Yan and He Xi helped me a lot in the early stages."
"Moreover, they are now my women, and they deserve my gratitude for the help and investment I made in the early stages."
Keisha shook her head: "It's different. The cultivation method you gave me is very important. It can transform and absorb faith, which is perfectly suited to us angels. We have accumulated faith over thousands of years."
"If I were to refine and absorb all of these beliefs, my mental strength would probably surge to an incredibly terrifying level. And mental strength just happens to be the perfect counter to that freak Karl, so you know what I mean?"
"Yes, I understand this very well. So, who does Queen Keisha intend to have these faiths refined for?" Li Dao asked.
Keisha: "You know perfectly well why I'm asking this. In my current state, half of my body and half of my spirit are scattered throughout the universe. Refining these beliefs would be a complete waste, especially since He Xi has absorbed the beliefs from Earth."
"Therefore, I will definitely give the faith of the Heavenly Court of Merlo to Yan. Her strength is already the strongest in the Angel Civilization. Letting her absorb and refine it will maximize the benefits. It has nothing to do with emotional issues."
“If your angelic power has accumulated enough over ten thousand years, I wouldn’t mind letting Yan become a god through faith,” Li Dao said.
While chatting with Keisha, he suddenly thought of the fantasy world, the illusory Gensokyo.
One's own martial arts will has the ability to interfere with reality. If the fantasy world is combined with the martial arts will, can a subspace be created in reality?
"Become a god through faith?" Keisha was taken aback, then looked at the tall Li beside her and asked, "Are you confident you can help Yan become a god?"
Li Dao's faith led to godhood, but he was a true deity as recorded in Earth's ancient texts, not some god created through genetic technology.
Those are true gods, possessing the power to destroy the world, not these genetic warriors who bear the title of gods.
While becoming a god through genetic technology is not bad, and one can achieve omniscience and omnipotence, and even dismantle planets with data, once one leaves the dark dimension, one is just a human being who is slightly stronger than an ordinary one.
Li said, "Yes, as for how confident I am, I can only say that I am somewhat confident. The limitations of the Dark Dimension are too great, and now it can only provide minimal improvement to Yan's strength, at most playing a supporting role."
"I believe you should not rely too much on the Dark Dimension. No one knows what the Dark Dimension is, whether it is a mapping of a higher dimension, or... a product created by a void civilization?"
Keisha's expression changed slightly as she heard the last part.
If the Dark Dimension is a product of the Void Civilization, then isn't their act of entrusting their engines to it tantamount to tying their own hands and feet and offering themselves up unnecessarily?
Because the source of all the power of the divine body comes from the dark dimension.
If the Dark Dimension is indeed a product of the void and can provide powerful computing capabilities, does that mean it is a celestial-like computer?
Does the Void Civilization even possess the highest authority over the Dark Dimension?
Why did the technologically advanced Shenhe civilization perish? And why was the Pangu civilization, which has even earlier, more vague records, destroyed?
If this is a conspiracy from the void.
The dark dimension isn't some higher dimension, but rather a shackle used to lock up various civilizations, while the known universe is treated as a farm, and these civilizations are lambs to the slaughter.
……
In an instant, countless speculations flashed through Keisha's mind, with conspiracy theories being the most prevalent.
After all, does the dark dimension really conform to the laws of the universe's development?
"Thank you for your reminder, Li Dao. You can wander around the palace. I have to leave now." With that, Keisha departed.
Li Dao watched Keisha's departing figure, then shook his head with a wry smile: "This was just a guess; I didn't expect it to trigger her reaction."
