Chapter 400: Chapter 400 Section 5 The True Name – Gaia (Asking for monthly votes ha)


    “`


    Once the Gaia Node was sessfully established, what came next didn’t concern him. Whether the Incarnation stayed in this world or returned, or even if it was destroyed by the wrathful will of the totem spirit, it didn’t matter. After all, he had aplished what he had set out to do.


    Of course, if it could continue to exist, that would be better. After all, he had put a lot of effort and blood into it, and had expended a massive amount of Creation Energy. It would truly be a pity if it were gone.


    However, these were not decisions he could make based on his will. Whether it could survive truly depended on fate.


    As the connection with the Incarnation grew clearer, Lin Xiao could sense, in a profound way, the towering wrath and terrifying pressure that came with the Incarnation.


    In the Totem Universe, the vast void rippled, and suddenly at the center of the ripples, the void arched up and quickly expanded into arge bulge. Apanying a roar, a pair of massive pitch-ck pincers pierced through the void.


    They looked like a giant pair of pincers, tens of kilometers in size, smashing toward the void. With a ‘boom’, the void trembled, countless spatial cracks ruptured from the impact center, slowly revealing the immense figure of a giant beast beneath the void.


    This was a pitch-ck giant beast, standing hundreds of kilometers tall, resembling an upright scorpion, its glossy ck carapace adorned withrge hollow holes, from which thick ck smoke was ejected, encircling the scorpion’s feet and forming a cloudy ring seven to eight hundred kilometers in diameter. Countless twisted faces of living creatures could vaguely be seen howling and roaring within the ck smoke.


    The giant scorpion appeared in the void not far from the ne, its solitary eye glowing with ominous red light as it slowly approached the ne.


    With the terrifying entity’s approach, the flowing void around it showed signs of stagnation.<div>


    Lin Xiao’s Incarnation furrowed his brow and slowly lifted his head within the ne.


    Meanwhile, a few Children of Nightmare who were leading the Holy War Army were resting in a recently conquered town. Engaged in lively conversation, suddenlly one of them, sensing something, looked up at the Vault of Heaven. His bowl fell from his hand and shattered on the ground, spilling rice everywhere. The other Children of Nightmare, who were chatting, looked up instinctively at the noise.


    “Bang bang…”


    The Children of Nightmare stood up with their mouths agape, then after a while said in an incredulous tone:


    “Heavens, am I seeing things, what’s this?”


    In the distant Imperial City of Sarnos, Meyer and others stood on the Imperial Pce terrace, looking up at the Vault of Heaven with despair on their faces:


    “I think, we’re going to die.”


    “This is impossible!”


    Xinhua eximed in shock and disbelief:


    “How could this be possible, how could such a powerful being descend here?”


    Meyer said with a wry smile:


    “It seems the situation is more interesting than we thought, we miscalcted. Brothers, abandon everything and run. If we wait any longer, we won’t be able to.”


    With that, he turned and left.


    The others exchanged nces, mmed down their wine cups, and followed him.


    Before long, the Teleportation Array in the center of the metal tform at the edge of the ne Crystal Wall lit up, and several beams of light shot up into the sky, revealing Meyer and six Descenders.


    The six saw the slightly tilted metal tform and the dozen or so Children of Nightmare who had already returned. Everyone was staring, speechless, at the immense Giant Scorpion Demon God in the far-off void, drawing sharp breaths.


    “This must be a Totem King!”


    Although it had the appearance of a demon god in the form of a giant scorpion, the Giant Scorpion Demon God did not emit the chaos and fury typical of devils. It must be one of the paths avable at theter stages of the totemic journey, ascending to a Totem King, where flesh, totem, and field are unified into this form of the totem, specializing in the true body of the demon god, which is the opposite of pursuing the field route.


    If they could reach this stage, they might also choose this path.<div>


    This Giant Scorpion Demon God, summoned by the will of the Crystal Wall from wherever it came, wasrge enough to rival some small nes. As it slowly approached, its mere presence already affected the mortal world and was starting to disturb the Element Tides that were surging.


    Lin Xiao’s Incarnation could naturally see this spectacle; simply sensing from afar, he knew he was no match for the Giant Scorpion Demon God.


    This creature was not simply an ordinary Totem King, but rather a resourceful Totem King who must have ascended a long time ago. Even if he had ascended properly and meticulously to a true Totem King, he would not have been able to defeat it, let alone now when he was but a pretender.


    But now it didn’t matter whether he could defeat it or not—the time had passed, and the Giant Scorpion Demon God had arrived toote.<div>


    Unlike in movies or novels, where the antagonist always arrives in time to stop the protagonist in order to highlight the protagonist’s awesomeness, reality does not work that way. Either you arrive early and stop them, or you arrive toote.


    And now, it was a step toote. As the Giant Scorpion Demon God, defying the ne’s instinctive resistance, forcibly made contact with the ne Crystal Wall, a deafening thunderp resounded. Lin Xiao’s will, using the vast energy of the ne Fortress’s Array, forcefully opened a channel to the connection with his Incarnation in the ethereal realm, reaching his own Incarnation.


    In the instant of connection, at the site of abnormal energy fluctuations on the external Crystal Wall of the Totem Crystal Wall Universe, a sudden explosion urred, shooting out a thousand-meter-high fountain of gray energy into the void, which then quickly shrank back a secondter.


    In that brief moment of connection, Lin Xiao swiftlymunicated with the Gaia Will through his own avable privileges.


    At the same time, several powerful Divine Powers took action, their tremendous strength twisting the void. Lin Xiao felt his will and all senses twist at that moment, followed by an incredibly wrathful roar.


    Once his distorted senses recovered, he had fully restored his connection with the Incarnation. In a sh, all the experiences and memories umted by the Incarnation during its descent were reimed.


    “`


    If he wished, he could instantly recall his incarnation.


    But he couldn’t do that, and of course, he was unable to do so now; his incarnation still needed to y the role of a marker. If he recalled it, the Will of the Totem Crystal Wall on the other side would immediately seal the newly opened breach.


    What he needed to do now was wait for the Gaia Will, which had temporarily deprived him of his control over this incarnation, to suppress the Will of the Totem Crystal Wall. He needed the powerful beings to move against the Giant Scorpion Demon God and other powerful existences of the Totem World rushing over, ensuring that the channel could be sessfully stabilized.


    Yes, he was already unable to control his own incarnation because the descending Gaia Will had taken over it and temporarilymandeered the incarnation; he could do nothing about it.


    However, this was, after all, his incarnation, and since the Gaia Will had notpletely stripped this incarnation away, his true body’s will could still connect to the incarnation and ess its memories… to be precise, the profundities of the rules contained within the Gaia Will.


    Whether it was a reward for him or not, the Gaia Will that descended this time had lifted all restrictions on him. He could obtain everything carried by this Gaia Will as easily as if he weremunicating with the incarnation, acquiring all its experiences and memories.<div>


    This scene, akin to a deity receiving the feedback from the universe’s origin sea during divine enthronement and freely drawing on the mysteries of the rules contained within the Source Sea, allowed him to reflect upon himself.


    In that instant, Lin Xiao’s true body was enveloped by ayer of mystical energy pulsating with profound waves, the emanation of which evoked envy from Jin Sisi and Xie Yufei standing nearby.


    However, envy aside, Jin Sisi remembered her duty as a teacher. Her divine power infused her voice as it reached Lin Xiao’s ears:


    “This is an incredible opportunity, a reward from Gaia’s Will to you. The ignition of the Divine Fire is upon you; remember to first absorb and refine the feedback of the rule profundities from Gaia’s Will to the fullest extent before rushing to ignite the Divine Fire.”


    Lin Xiao could hear her, and his originally anxious heart calmed down, peacefully absorbing the continuous flow of the rule profundities.


    As he tirelessly drew upon the rule profundities of the Source Sea, Lin Xiao suddenly discovered that he had gained a third Godhood—Life.


    Probably due to the feedback from his incarnation and the Golden Ancient Tree Totem, his understanding of the Life rule surged rapidly as he continuously drew upon the feedback given by Gaia’s Will, soon breaking past the threshold of five percent.


    For other demigods and even at the moment of divine enthronement, surpassing five percentprehension of a rule would be difficult, yet under the feedback from Gaia’s Will, he easily broke past this threshold and continued to grow.


    And his own primary rules of Creation and Truth were growing even faster, with a rate of increase so swift that it set his heart racing.


    Yet, to his surprise, the feedback from Gaia’s Will allowed him to foster the birth of a fifth segment of his True Name—a name that seemed inconceivable, yet perfectly natural.


    True Name: Cyberlex Meyers Ao Ober Gaia.


    Indeed, he had received Gaia as a segment of his True Name, much like that of the Human Main World.


    And this name segment held only one meaning: the status of Son of Gaia. Throughout history, any Son of Gaia in the Human Main World had this segment in their True Name.<div>


    That is to say, when his incarnation sessfully connected with his True Body and pried open the Totem Crystal Wall Universe, akin to a turtle’s shell, giving the Main World an absolute advantage in thepetition against the Nightmare World and the civilizations of the Spirit Realm, Gaia Will acknowledged his merit and bestowed upon him the status of Son of Gaia.


    Having received the fifth segment of his True Name, his mastery of thews of Godhood soared. Gaining mastery over the Lifeline, his Divinity correspondingly skyrocketed.


    Originally at one hundred and four points, his Divinity had now reached a high of one hundred thirty-five and was still increasing.


    Usually, refining dozens of points of Divinity could not bring about a single unit of increase; yet now, like a faulty water meter, it jumped rapidly, feeling almost valueless—a leap by several points at a time.


    However, remembering the significance of his recent actions, these rewards seemed entirely justified.
