Chapter 1136: Ceremony of Deification (2)
His hair was blown away by the surging divinity, but he still looked at it without fear.
From a close distance, the eyes were brass-colored, filled with blazing divine fire. They met Zhou Ning's gaze directly. In an instant, Zhou Ning's mind was filled with vague, maddening mutterings:
,
"Come, come to the island and face your fate."
"Destiny?"
Zhou Ning stood where he was and couldn't help but let out a "huh". Only then did he realize that these eyes were not aggressive or malicious, but were purely relying on instinct to attract extraordinary people to this island.
The last time he faced these eyes, he suffered severe contamination, and only after finding the Ascetic Church could he get rid of it. But now he had no choice. Fate had really led him here, leaving him with no way to retreat.
Fortunately, these eyes have no other attack capabilities besides staring at people, muttering, and releasing divine shocks, otherwise Zhou Ning might not dare to go deeper rashly.
Most of the illusory island ahead was submerged below sea level. Above the water, one could see magnificent ancient buildings, seemingly huge architectural ruins. Surrounding them was a lush forest.
There were countless turbulent ocean currents surrounding that imaginary island, so that the seemingly short road took a full forty minutes to cross the ocean currents and reach the island, reaching this so-called singularity of the world.
Before he could feel the reality outside, Zhou Ning felt a strong divine impact as soon as he stepped onto the island. His steps became heavy and slow. There was a thick fog around him and he could only see a few steps in front of him.
The huge golden eyes in the sky were still staring at Zhou Ning without blinking. Zhou Ning did not look at them again. He tried to ask Valentine to use the power of weather to disperse the fog here, but failed. Instead, the whispers in his ears tended to get louder and louder as time went by.
Zhou Ning thought about it, stretched out his hand and grabbed in the void, and pulled out the live map. This map can show the complete map of 10 kilometers around the current location and mark the location of everyone nearby.
Following the instructions, Zhou Ning silently recited:
"I solemnly swear that I have done nothing wrong."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ink line on the map began to extend, but the content displayed on the map was chaotic. For some unknown reason, the Marauder's Map could not show the topography of the island. Only in the center of the island, a faint yellow name appeared, slowly moving, appearing and disappearing:
"Besenmore."
Yellow names represent neutrality, neither good nor hostile towards him. Zhou Ning was unfamiliar with this name. However, in the inventory, the small, broken book felt an uneasy throbbing. Zhou Ning quickly unfolded it and saw the words on it:
"That name is the true name of the great Creator God. After the Creator God disappeared, one of His bodies still lingered on this Origin Island, guarding it in this way and trying to avoid Him."
"As for the location of the apotheosis ceremony, it's most likely at the altar in the very center of the ancient ruins. The ruins are fraught with danger, and projections of gods might be lurking there. Of course, anyone who wishes to harm my master must first step over my corpse."
"The location of the Creator God's body is actually pretty easy to spot. It should be right below those golden eyes. And by now, it should be instinctively moving towards me."
Zhou Ning silently ignored the small book's offer and then turned his gaze towards the ruins ahead. Within sight, the bodies of transcendent beings lay in various positions within and outside the ruins. They were all demigods or angels drawn in by the whispers.
The age of the corpses spanned a wide range, from several hundred years ago to more than a decade ago. They must have been looted and no extraordinary items remained.
Through the authority of knowledge, he could also see some knowledge symbols that had not yet completely dissipated floating in the air. The spiritual plague that was so strong that it had become a substance was one of the reasons why these knowledge symbols were close to immortality.
Also, what Xiao Poshu said could indeed be verified. Deep in the ruins, he could indeed feel waves of terrifying aura.
According to Rich Burke, their captain, the famous pirate "treasure expert" Sidney, had a very rare ability to read and write. It was while exploring this great treasure that he found a magnificent ruin and a book inside.
Rich Burke's original words: As a shaman and a reader, Captain Sidney liked the book very much and was ready to take it away, but when the lucky clover time came, Captain Sidney soon went crazy and was deformed into a terrible monster, attacking the other sailors.
Also, inside the bronze door of the Nathaniel Underground Ruins, the elven architectural ruins Zhou Ning saw looked exactly the same as the ones in front of him. In a church building inside, there was also a pirate captain with eight hands and four deformed legs.
Zhou Ning had previously speculated that the bronze door of the Nathaniel Underground Ruins was a projection of this island. Due to the treasure map, the Pirate King Zhou Ning must have landed on this island. As for what he discovered and left behind on the island, it was still unknown.
According to Alfred, this place is also known as the Island of Beginning, and possesses certain celestial characteristics. Legend has it that the Creator God appeared on this island at a certain time and day. It is also the home of all the righteous gods. Within it lies a vast ruin. Legend has it that there lies a hidden passage leading to the back of the Apocalypse World, the divine realm.
Faced with the multiple secrets on this island, Zhou Ning did not plan to thoroughly explore the island today, nor did he plan to discover the so-called passage to the divine realm. Those were all things for the future. His top priority at the moment was to become a god.
Boom!Boom!Boom!
The ground was trampled, and dull footsteps came from the side. Zhou Ning glanced into the distance and saw a blue-black giant in a white robe moving quickly towards him.
thump! thump! thump!
Feeling the divine pressure so close, Zhou Ning's heartbeat couldn't help but gradually quicken.
This is the body of the Creator God! A body of the Old Ones!
This... Zhou Ning's eyes fixed, and he made a calm judgment. The wind around him suddenly whistled, pushing Valentine to fly in the front. He followed behind Valentine and rushed into the depths of the ruins covered with thick fog.
The situation inside the ruins is similar to that inside the bronze gate, but it is far more massive.
Everywhere I looked, dark, seemingly unpainted buildings filled the landscape, looking eerie and mysterious. It was so quiet that no other sounds could be heard except the clatter of my own footsteps.
No, Zhou Ning heard the heavy footsteps behind him continuing, and at the corner in front, there was a huge, gray-green shadow, and darkness seemed to flow on the body. Although he could not see the specific appearance, he could still feel that the other party's state could only be described as crazy and violent.
On Zhou Ning's game panel, a long-forgotten task progress was rapidly filling up:
[S-level long-term hidden mission: [Explore the real Hume Town]]
[Mission Summary: You seem to have discovered some hidden secrets in history. Try to explore the real Hume Town and uncover its secrets. After overcoming the dangers, you will receive rich rewards.]

The massive figure ahead seemed to be the projection of the deity mentioned in the book, reminding Zhou Ning of the elven goddess from the past. However, the characteristic of these historical projections was that they were often blind. Zhou Ning leaped and accelerated, passing by "Him" with ease. Then, his eyes lit up. Not far away, there was a tall altar.
