On the shrine, the miniature altar trembled. The warm blood within the bowl began to boil, erupting with a dense and piercing crimson light.
The girl’s black hair rose wildly in the absence of wind. She stared at the shrine as it erupted with demonic energy, her lips pressed into a thin line. Her right hand secretly pressed down on the wound on her left hand as she cursed inwardly, “That hurts…”
The pain was already done… please don’t let me down…
Converting to a God and becoming a Believer came with a certain probability of comprehending a skill. And this probability was so small it was laughable… But Weilin wasn’t worried. Given her relationship with the Crow God, why would she need to gamble on probability? A backdoor operation would do the trick.
The next second,
The crimson light bursting from the miniature altar expanded in an instant, engulfing and swallowing the entire shrine in the blink of an eye.
Startled, Weilin stumbled back a step, her almond-shaped eyes wide with a mix of tension and anticipation.
Weilin possessed Chaos Attribute Mana with total elemental affinity. Therefore, her blood also contained formidable Chaos power. Furthermore, she was the continent’s Strongest Mage. Even a single drop of her blood contained enough Mana to rival a normal Mage’s entire life force, making it the most top-tier alchemical ingredient imaginable.
So…
Even if Weilin were to sell her blood, she would have endless money to spend.
She watched helplessly as the one-meter-tall shrine was incinerated into dust within the chaotic Mana flames unleashed by her blood. Then, the flames began to expand outward, instantly igniting the temple.
That shoddy temple structure, how could it possibly withstand the burning of Chaos Fire…
Weilin immediately used a Spatial Warp to flee the temple. Then, looking at the ruined temple instantly buried within a sky-high inferno, she was completely stunned.
“I… I didn’t do it on purpose!”
No matter how she thought about it, it was the shrine activating her blood’s fault. It had nothing to do with her, really!
“KAKAAAAAAA——————!!!!”
Suddenly, a sharp, prolonged cry from the Crow God echoed from the underground cave.
A drop of Origin Divine Blood, radiating a piercing, dark light, shot into the sky. At that moment, every light source in the already dark cave seemed submerged in the divine blood’s gloom. Even the flames spreading through the temple ruins dimmed and lost their color. The world seemed on the verge of Chaos.
Weilin’s heart trembled.
Behind her, the Guardian, the accompanying Troll King, and the Troll Shaman—all, with the exception of the Time Devourer whose expression remained relatively calm—wore expressions of utter terror.
Because within that hazy Chaos, they seemed to glimpse the ancient era when heaven and earth were first cleaved open. That bird, whose outstretched wings could blot out the skies for a thousand miles, had once torn off the heads of Gods, devoured their flesh, and consumed their blood. It had raised its head to the brilliant, star-filled sky hung with nineteen silver moons and let out a long cry, as if proclaiming with all its might a truth known to everyone…
My power is unrivaled!
Yes, back then, the Crow God possessed a size that even the entirety of the Eternal Mineshaft’s Fourth Layer could barely contain.
Now, after millions of years had passed, the Crow God was no longer the Crow God of the past. Yet, it still possessed the power to firmly dominate even this Eternal Mineshaft teeming with world-class Demonic Beasts…
After all, the spectacle of tearing a Death Demon Dragon apart in ten seconds had just occurred moments ago.
So, what did this drop of Origin Divine Blood signify…
Weilin knew ‘Kaka’ would never mistreat her. But faced with such an immense gift, she momentarily felt unworthy of it, especially since she had just burned down the Crow God’s Temple.
In her moment of hesitation, the drop of divine blood actively floated towards Weilin at an incredible speed.
The divine blood landed beside Weilin’s injured left hand.
Weilin paused, then decided not to let down Kaka’s goodwill. She slowly loosened her right hand pressing the wound on her left hand’s purlicue. Then, she watched as the divine blood descended like a shadow and merged into the wound.
It was the Crow God’s Origin Divine Blood. A mortal who fused with it would inevitably explode and die.
But Weilin, harboring Chaos Mana and being the Strongest Mage, was different… Yet, no matter how different, Weilin was still human!
The divine blood merging into Weilin’s veins would grant her ‘Divinity.’
This was a leap from human to God. Weilin’s foundation was here, making the risk of failure minimal. But to successfully cross the barrier between human and God, she would inevitably endure immense pain from the transformation.
“…I’m dying, ah~!!!!!!!!”
Never having endured such excruciating pain, Weilin fainted disgracefully at the very first moment of the transformation.
Who am I, where am I…
Slowly opening her eyes, she saw the familiar white ceiling. It turned out she was back in the ‘Guild House.’
Propping herself up from the soft mattress, Weilin immediately spotted Shi Luo, sitting meticulously in a chair with her knees together, like a perfect lady.
“Welcome back, Master. The divine blood fusion was very successful.”
“Is that so…?!”
Getting good news right out of bed, Weilin happily curved her brows, then hurriedly opened her data panel to see what was different.
[
Lega Weilin
Race: Human / (Divinity – Evil A-)
Mage Lv: 100 (Human limit is Lv80)]
Strength: 20
Agility: 20
Constitution: 60
Mana: 99999

(Divinity – Evil A-): (1) Your attacks deal an additional 9% damage to non-divine beings; (2) Your intimidation and threats are more likely to make others submit; (3) Increases attack power; (4) You may incur hostility from ‘Good’-aligned Gods and their Believers.
]
Her attributes were almost unchanged. There was only one description for “Divinity – Evil.” Just a single drop of the Crow God’s Origin Divine Blood had given Weilin’s Divinity – Evil a terrifying rating of A-…
And as expected, Divinity was a debuff! (lol)
Also, her skills.
Besides ‘Spatial Warp,’ Weilin had gained another bloodline skill.
[
‘Kaka!’ (? Tier):
Shout “Kaka” to activate this skill. Converts your Mana into Strength, and Spirit into Agility, at a 1:1 ratio. The conversion values can be freely adjusted.
]
An extremely simple and blunt description, yet it made Weilin’s heart palpitate with shock.
Stop! Melee combat is not a mage’s romance!!
Who could withstand a hundred thousand strength converted into a single punch?
Weilin wasn’t a true Warrior, after all. With her pathetic Constitution, even with Battle Aura protecting her body, if she threw a punch with a hundred thousand strength, her own arm would shatter first… along with the rest of her body.
The same logic applied to Agility. With Weilin’s Constitution, controlling an agility speed of three or four thousand was already her limit.
Complaints aside, thinking carefully, if she could just find a way to raise her Constitution, then converting her Mana and Spirit into the Warrior domain would make her just as invincible, right? She could even split them evenly: Explosion Magic in her left hand, sword aura in her right. She would be a walking, self-propelled natural disaster…
“Master, how was your harvest?” Shi Luo asked respectfully, her tone gentle.
“Alright, I suppose… if only I didn’t have this fragile human body, I’d be invincible.” Weilin sighed, then casually asked, “Speaking of which, Little Shi, how long was I asleep? What time is it now?”
“Replying to Master, it is currently nine o’clock at night.”
“Nine o’clock… Hey, wasn’t it only eight o’clock when we went to see the Crow God? I woke up that quickly?”
“Not at all. In truth, it took Master a full day to fuse with the divine blood,” Shi Luo replied.
Weilin nodded with an “I figured” look.
Then, as if suddenly remembering something, the girl’s face turned pale.
“Oh crap (redacted)! —I’m doomed!!”
