Ye Fan felt the immense power coursing through his body, and his eyes were filled with awe.
He had not expected that after becoming a "god," his power would be so earth-shattering.
At that moment, Ye Fan closed his eyes and concentrated his thoughts.
In an instant, everything within a hundred miles fell into his view.
It was as if he had a god's perspective, observing everything around him.
"Come to me."
Ye Fan spotted a familiar figure.
With a mere thought, that figure instantly appeared before him.
"What is this...?!"
The demon giant, who had signed a contract with Ye Fan, suddenly found itself standing in front of him.
It widened its eyes in shock.
A moment ago, an overwhelming force had enveloped its body.
In the blink of an eye, it was transported here!
In its panic, the giant looked ahead and saw... Ye Fan!
"Master?!"
It was dumbfounded, staring at Ye Fan in disbelief.
Ye Fan!
The person standing before it was Ye Fan!
Could it be that, just a moment ago...
"It was I who transported you here," Ye Fan said calmly.
"I was merely testing my new power."
"Master, does that mean... your power has reached... god-level?"
The demon giant trembled as it spoke, instinctively realizing what had happened.
"Yes," Ye Fan replied casually.
"I've reached god-level."
God-level!
The demon giant was utterly stunned.
It glanced at the ground and noticed pieces of flesh scattered around.
The Dark God had been slain by Ye Fan!
The realization struck the giant hard.
It knew that the Dark God had been an incredibly powerful entity, an upper god.
Yet, in such a short time, Ye Fan had killed it.
The demon giant gulped nervously, feeling even more terrified of Ye Fan.
"Continue finding the other evil gods for me," Ye Fan ordered, his eyes narrowing.
"Don't worry, you will be rewarded."
As Ye Fan spoke, an overwhelming force surged from him, entering the demon giant's body.
"What is this...?!"
The demon giant could instantly feel a surge of immense power flooding through its body,
so strong that its entire being trembled.
"Absorb it," Ye Fan said calmly.
"Thank you, Master!"
The demon giant was overjoyed as it began to absorb the power.
Within moments, its body visibly changed.
Its muscles became more robust, and the horns on its forehead grew sharper and more menacing.
"Remember, find all the other evil gods for me," Ye Fan said,
and with that, he vanished from the spot.
"Yes!"
The demon giant respectfully knelt on the ground, trembling with reverence.
…
"Just like that, I'm back,"
Ye Fan's figure appeared at the entrance of the spatial rift.
Reaching this level, it was almost as if he had gained the ability to teleport.
With a single thought, Ye Fan flew out of the rift and returned to Earth.
"Now, I wonder what effect the Dark God's divine mark will have on my sword,"
Ye Fan muttered to himself.
With a thought, he activated the Dark God's divine mark.
In an instant, dark energy began to emanate from the sword's blade.
The sword's entire surface turned pitch black, exuding an aura of deep darkness.
A menacing aura surged from the sword, and the surrounding air became bone-chilling.
After inspecting the changes, Ye Fan noticed that, like the other divine marks, most skills remained the same,
with only a few modifications:
[Dark Thunder]: Summons an immense force of dark lightning to deal significant damage.
[Thunder Evil God]: Releases a massive energy bolt, forming the figure of the Dark God.
[Rend the Darkness]: Attacks inflict a corrosive dark energy on the enemy, which can be actively pulled out to cause massive damage. The more dark energy in the enemy, the stronger the damage.
[Evil God's Descent]: Summons the Dark God to assist in battle.
[Wrath of Darkness]: The summoned Dark God self-destructs, causing massive area damage.
"It feels almost like a new skin," Ye Fan remarked after reading the skill descriptions.
Without lingering on it, he returned to Tianyun City with a single thought.
In the days that followed, now that Ye Fan had reached god-level,
he could travel between cities across the country with ease.
The invading aliens and beasts were all easily slain by him.
During this time, Ye Fan also taught cultivation techniques in every city.
Tianyun City became the largest producer of pills, which were distributed across the country.
People everywhere worked hard to cultivate, and their strength was increasing rapidly.
The entire nation was advancing toward reconstruction.
With everyone's growing power, many of the aliens could now be handled by Earth's martial artists.
But despite all this, Ye Fan couldn't shake a sense of confusion—there were no more evil gods.
Even the demon giant couldn't find any trace of the evil gods in the otherworld.
"Where have they gone?"
Suspended in the air, Ye Fan pondered as he flew onward.
It was as if the evil gods had vanished completely.
But to grow stronger, Ye Fan needed to kill more evil gods and acquire more divine marks...
Boom!
Suddenly, a massive rumbling sound echoed from the sky.
A terrifying bolt of lightning shot down from above!
Ye Fan's eyes narrowed in surprise.
With a swift movement, he dodged the strike!
Boom!
The spot where Ye Fan had just stood was instantly blasted into a massive crater by the lightning strike.
