Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!

Chapter 1248: Chapter 1247: This Thing Is a Real Killer!

Looking at the Seven-Colored Fantasy Soulstone in front of him, Fang Zheng couldn’t help but curl up the corners of his mouth. Indeed, people do turn their luck around. He had put in so much effort before but couldn’t draw a few Fantasy Grades, and this time, he got two in a ten-in-a-row draw!

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng reached out again and grasped the Soulstone.

But what Fang Zheng didn’t expect was that as soon as his fingers touched the Soulstone, it suddenly emitted a ”crack” and burst open, transforming into something similar to a scroll.

What’s this? Wasn’t this a Soulstone? What is this ghostly thing? A Divine Artifact? But a Divine Artifact appearing in the form of a Soulstone... What the heck?

Just as Fang Zheng was bewildered, the detailed information of the item appeared before him.

[Investiture of the Gods (Divine Artifact): Can designate to absorb deities defeated by the holder, seal, enslave, or devour them. Can consume sealed deities in the list to upgrade an Enchanted Clan member within the system to a Sub-god (Note: When a deity enters the list, a divine announcement will occur across all realms)]

[Current Status: (Divine Enthronement: 0) (Sub-god: 0)]

”Wow...”

Seeing the system introduction in front of him, Fang Zheng was taken aback. He never thought he’d one day get such a treasure. As a Chinese person, Fang Zheng had read ”The Investiture of the Gods” several times, whether it be novels or TV dramas, he knows them like the back of his hand. But all along, he had only gotten Western system Noble Phantasms and Divine Artifacts from the system. Fang Zheng never thought he’d draw this item!

Could it be because I’ve become a god, I can draw these treasures now?

If I can draw the Investiture of the Gods this time, does that mean I can draw the Pangu Banner, Extermination Sword, and Tai Chi Diagram in the future?

If I draw the Extermination Sword, wouldn’t that be awesome?

This is great, just in time to deal with that Spider Goddess. Hey, if she’s disobedient, I’ll send her straight to the Investiture of the Gods, hahaha... see her... huh? Wait a minute!

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng suddenly paused and then reopened the system information, carefully reading the description of the Investiture of the Gods again.

Fang Zheng quickly noticed there was a small line in brackets in the information section of the Investiture of the Gods (Note: When a deity enters the list, a divine announcement will occur across all realms).

”...What does ’divine announcement’ mean?”

Curiously, Fang Zheng clicked on it and quickly got an answer.

[Divine Announcement: When the user seals a deity, all beings of equivalent or higher level will receive a corresponding announcement]

”........”

At this moment, Fang Zheng’s face instantly froze.

Kidding me, I’m just trying to seal a god, do you need to go this far?

This means that if I seal the Spider Goddess, then at the moment she goes on the list, all races, all beings at the True God rank across various planes will know about it?

Wait, do they only know the Spider Goddess is sealed, or do they also find out who sealed her?

Although the system didn’t provide an answer, Fang Zheng had a feeling it was likely the latter. After all, simply perceiving the fall of a True God is something all deities might feel. At most, they wouldn’t know how the Spider Goddess fell or who caused her death.

But a full-scale broadcast is a whole different matter!

This isn’t some online game where the first kill of an instance gets flaunted, who are you showing off to?

Fang Zheng could almost foresee that if it truly were like this, he wouldn’t have a peaceful day in the future!

Joking aside! Do you even understand the art of hiding one’s capabilities, or quietly making a fortune? You’re pushing me to a dead end!

Geez, you cunning brat always screwing over your old man!

Although the performance of the Investiture of the Gods is indeed outstanding, capable of sealing defeated deities, enslaving, or even converting them into divine power, and consuming them to enthrone one’s Enchanted Clan. But the side effect is too terrifying. Once others know, Fang Zheng would basically be a street rat. No one would just sit idly by while Fang Zheng possesses something like this.

By then, Fang Zheng and the Heavenly Dao Palace would be in huge trouble!

”Sigh...”

Fang Zheng helplessly looked at the Investiture of the Gods in his hand, hesitated for quite a while, then put it back into the item inventory. If it weren’t for the ”divine announcement” feature, Fang Zheng planned to try it out against the Spider Goddess, but now... forget it, save it for when I travel to another world and face some deity.

After all, the risks of using this thing in the Main World are too great.

After that, Fang Zheng didn’t draw anything good again, and to his speechless frustration, this time he got a ”Scorching Warhorse’s Reins” again...

At least give me a Phoenix...

Although this ten-in-a-row was indeed fantastic, Fang Zheng still felt somewhat displeased. This damned system had tricked him again... Wait a minute, according to the Goddess of Order, this system isn’t from some Supreme God or some alien civilization creation; it’s a manifestation of one’s own essence.

So... this is me screwing myself!

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng was utterly speechless.

He would rather this damned system be something from someone else, that way, at least he could curse the Supreme God or whatever, but... he couldn’t very well curse himself!

Come to think of it, if this system is my essence manifestation, why not just give me a system with All-Attributes +999 super divine rank straightforwardly!

This system simply has no understanding of people’s minds!

After finishing the ten-in-a-row draw, Fang Zheng started to become quite bored again. However, unlike before, Fang Zheng was now prepared to confront the Spider Goddess at any time and place. He just had two tasks left to complete before he could open the BOSS, one was to find those elves and take them away safely. The other was to figure out what those Dark Elves intended to do with the Order Guardian Device of the Goddess of Order.

It’s clear they aren’t here for maintenance.

”Mr. Fang Zheng...”

However, at this moment, Fang Zheng received a report from Kurumi.

”We’ve found that group of elves.”

”Oh?”

Hearing this, Fang Zheng immediately perked up.

”What’s the situation?”

”It’s like this, those Dark Elves led us to a gloomy basement where the elves are locked up. The Dark Elves want us to help... take care of the elves.”

”Huh?”

Faced with Kurumi’s answer, Fang Zheng was completely baffled.

Elves and Dark Elves have been at each other’s throats since they split, how could they bother to take care of these elves? Bringing them back to dissect didn’t seem like the only option?

”According to the Dark Elves, they seem to want to use these elves for some ritual, but the elves don’t allow any males to approach them, even threatening with their lives, and it seems the priests can’t do the job, so they brought us in...”

So that’s it...

After hearing this, Fang Zheng nodded. If he remembered correctly, quite a few of the elf maidens captured in this Dark Elf raid had previously suffered from goblin abuse. Although they appeared normal on the surface, they definitely retained some mental trauma.

It’s understandable they’d resist so fiercely.

As for those Dark Elf priests... of course, they wouldn’t serve and take care of their sworn enemies.

”How are those elves doing?”

”A few elves are seriously injured, but they should heal with medical gel. Should we rescue them right now?”

”No.”

If it were earlier, Fang Zheng might have thought about rescuing these elves immediately, but now, he’s changed his mind.

”You are to take care of and protect these elves, don’t let those Dark Elves harm them, and try to find out what ritual they’re planning.”

”Understood, Mr. Fang Zheng.”

”I’ll leave it to you.”

Shortly after finishing his communication with Kurumi, Fang Zheng watched as the door opened again, and a Dark Elf attendant walked in, staring coldly at Fang Zheng, then spoke.

”Come with me, male, the master wants to see you.”
