Chapter 779: Authority!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In the end, Ji Chen still did not trouble the ghost ship, or rather, he was still very wary of Eluvita.

Gods were the most powerful beings known in this world. The development and continuity of this world were closely related to these rarely seen, extremely mysterious, but powerful beings whose names and beliefs were constantly spreading. Even many indigenous people believed that the gods created the world or were born with the world.

But Ji Chen knew that the gods were not born with the world, nor were they immortal. They were powerful beings who had reached a certain level of strength, wielded authority and abilities, ignited the divine fire with faith, and condensed powerful creatures with strength as the foundation.

There were more or less records in history about the “succession of gods”. For example, in the god war hundreds of thousands of years ago, the god Kurse of the Hill was besieged by several enemy gods and eventually died in battle, but his authority was timely recovered by Eluvita who arrived in time, and after thousands of years after the end of the god war, it was continued by a dwarf, successfully condensed the divinity and inherited the position of the god of the hill.

As long as the authority of the god position exists, as long as there are strong individuals recognized by the authority in the future and have the ability to ignite the divine fire, they can inherit the god position.

This was the most common way to become a god.

Another way to become a god was that in the long history and years, there were always a few outstanding individuals who surpassed one or even several eras. Among them, a very small number of them did not have the opportunity to obtain authority, but relied on their own strength to create an unprecedented authority, gained the world’s recognition, and then ignited the divine fire to become a god.

However, this way of becoming a god was extremely difficult. The former is like advancing on a path already opened by predecessors, only needing sufficient strength to reach the summit, while the latter was to explore in an unknown field, needing to pass through layers of thorns to see a glimmer of hope.

And Eluvita, as one of the earliest recorded gods who autonomously comprehended and created authority and ignited the divine fire, was enough to show her strength.

Honestly, Ji Chen didn’t know why Eluvita favored him. Could it be because he’s handsome?

“Besides reminding and helping me, did she really not command anything else?”

“Really nothing else, I’ve said everything I know, not a single drop left!”

The ghost ship said pitifully, “But she did say that if you encounter difficulties, I should provide appropriate assistance.”

“Alright, what kind of assistance can you provide me?”

“But you haven’t encountered any difficulties yet.”

“Now I have.” Ji Chen smiled, “The Storm Authority wielded by the Undead Lord is within my reach. Yet, it’s also a cunning trap designed to ensnare me. You see, I desire it, but acquiring it is no easy feat. Doesn’t that present a challenge?”

Ghost ship: ???

The ghost ship was stunned by Ji Chen’s words for a while, knowing that it was definitely impossible to leave today without losing some skin, so it resigned itself to fate.

“…In that case, take out the things stored with me, since they all need to be taken out anyway. This is… the Thunder Authority.”

A dazzling purple light, like a star, suddenly appeared in the ghostly body of the ghost ship, instantly attracting Ji Chen’s attention.

Squinting, he saw a crystal ball, shimmering with threads of thunder resembling miniature thunderstorms in the heavens, radiating terrifying energy that made people tremble with fear with every breath.

Space tore and shattered, and mist rolled violently.

This was authority, the most top-notch power in the world, only accessible to gods and beings with the potential for godhood after being recognized.

And Ji Chen keenly felt the Thunder Authority calling out to him.

As the envoy of the gods, he gently raised his hand.

The next moment, the Thunder Authority rushed towards him like a swallow returning to its nest, directly entering his body.

The ghost ship widened its eyes and hurriedly said, “Entering so directly will be torn apart by the authority…”

Ji Chen couldn’t hear the ghost ship’s voice anymore, only feeling his consciousness entering into darkness.

Suddenly.

In the darkness, a peerless thunderbolt burst forth, as if connecting the heavens and the bottomless abyss, directly striking towards him. The anticipated intense pain did not arrive.

He lowered his head, bathing in the thunderous light.

Before him, scenes flashed like a revolving lantern. A human female with an indistinguishable face wielded her arm like a sword, unleashing dozens of world-destroying thunderbolts with each swing, turning the demons rushing towards her into ashes.

Whether it was tiny demon assassins like goblins or evil beings taller than city walls, they all turned into meaningless debris in the destructive thunder.

Even in the face of several enemy gods with raging flames, she showed no fear, swinging her arms as if splashing ink, turning half the sky into a world of thunder.

As consciousness gradually returned, Ji Chen slowly opened his eyes. A dazzling purple light flashed in his deep blue pupils, adding a touch of enchantment and mystery to him.

It seemed like there was something extra in his body. With a thought, a strand of thunder leapt to his fingertips, emitting a captivating aura.

This single strand was enough to turn the surrounding area of kilometers into a thunderous prison.

The astonished voice of the ghost ship rang out, with a hint of incredulity in its tone.

“To think you were so easily recognized and accepted by the Thunder Authority, is that even logical? It took quite a bit of effort to get it to follow me in the first place!”

It definitely wouldn’t admit that it was feeling sour..
