City of Gods

Shen Yi was in no hurry to hunt for treasures right now. He looked around the Blood River.
He began his harvest plan.
If one Blood River could help him increase his Spirit power by about a hundred points.
He looked around; there were countless Blood Rivers here. Didn't that mean his Spirit power could directly break ten thousand points?
He couldn't imagine what a Spirit strength of ten thousand points would be like.
No sooner said than done. At this moment, the Fire Domain could appear with just a thought from him.
At the beginning, one Blood River took nearly half an hour.
As he became more and more proficient.
Now, he only needed less than ten minutes to eliminate all the Blood Shadows within one Blood River.
However, as more and more Blood Rivers were cleared, Shen Yi found that the speed of his Spirit increase became extremely slow.
Initially, one Blood River could provide him with nearly a hundred Spirit points.
Now it was less than seventy points.
Nevertheless, he was very satisfied. In just half a day.
He felt his Spirit power had reached a limit.
With just a little more increase, he could break through the upper limit.
He didn't stop immediately. Previously, the Fire Domain could only cover one Blood River.
Now it could cover two Blood Rivers simultaneously.
He continued to go deeper. No so-called Divine Star fragments could be seen here.
It was all Blood Rivers.
As he absorbed, he didn't notice that his Intent was also beginning to condense as his Spirit power increased. The phantom that was originally over five meters tall had now shrunk to only four meters.
If a Yellow Realm expert saw this, they would surely cry out in shock.
Only after surpassing the Ninth Stage and reaching the King Realm does Intent begin to condense.
When the Intent condenses to the size of a normal person and then completely merges with the original body, one reaches the Yellow Realm.
Each time the Intent condenses, it represents a deeper control over the Power of Rules.
Yellow Realm experts can be said to have understood the Power of Rules very thoroughly.
For them, no matter what the ability is, they can use it at will.
As his Spirit strength continued to grow, Shen Yi now felt that he could control surrounding objects through Spirit power.
This was no different from a Control-type ability.
The Blood Shadows in the Blood River could no longer help him increase his Spirit strength.
He thought it was a pity.
If it could truly increase forever, perhaps by the time he came out, he would already be standing at the peak of this world.
After the Blood Shadows could no longer increase his Spirit power, he didn't stay there.
He headed toward the depths.
After walking for a long time, even the mountains here were bare. In front of him, a massive city suddenly appeared.
Inside the city, houses were densely packed, and at the very center was a massive mountain.
The architecture inside was very ancient, and there was a massive city wall on the outside.
Above the city gate were three large blood-red characters.
[City of Gods]
When Shen Yi arrived here, there were no creatures around.
However, as soon as he stepped into the city gate, dense figures suddenly appeared on the streets inside the city.
The city gate also underwent a massive change.
"Outsiders are not allowed to enter. Those who enter without permission shall die!" A massive horizontal banner appeared on the city wall.
The eye-catching words brought an indescribable sense of pressure.
Just as he was considering whether to enter the city, the Golden Token he carried emitted a faint glow.
It enveloped Shen Yi's entire body, and his body flew toward the inner city uncontrollably.
The figures in the city didn't seem to notice Shen Yi.
They let him fly in from the outside.
This energy led him to the entrance of the largest palace in the city.
[Lord of Destruction]
Above the entrance of this palace, a large plaque bore those four characters.
"The Lord of Destruction again," Shen Yi muttered to himself.
He seemed to have an inexplicable relationship with the Lord of Destruction.
Everywhere he went, he could see traces of the Lord of Destruction.
What kind of existence the Lord of Destruction truly was, he couldn't figure out for now.
As soon as he reached the palace gate, it slowly opened.
Two black shadows walked out from within.
"Welcome home, Lord of Destruction," one of the black shadows spoke, its voice devoid of any emotion.
Next, without giving Shen Yi a chance to react, he was once again led into the palace.
The structure inside this palace was no different from the small palace he had seen in the Black Forest.
It was just magnified countless times.
Right at the front of the palace was a tall statue.
The statue of the Lord of Destruction—he had seen it many times.
"You have come," a weathered voice echoed within the palace.
"Who is it?" Shen Yi looked around.
"When you hear these words, it means I have failed, and our plan has failed," the weathered voice didn't answer Shen Yi's question, speaking to itself.
"Successor, your ability to reach this place proves you have received my recognition."
"Your arrival means the Eternal Tower is about to open."
What?
Shen Yi completely didn't understand what the other party was saying.
"Work hard, successor. Since you have received my recognition, it proves you have hope of inheriting my Godhood. I hope you can succeed."
Then there was no more sound.
This voice left him in the dark. The speech was disjointed, and he had no idea what it meant.
Shen Yi wandered around the palace for half a day but couldn't find anything. Even the two black shadows from before had disappeared.
Just as he wanted to leave, he found there was no way to get out of the palace.
It was as if he were locked in. Every time he tried to leave the palace, he would be bounced back and told that the opening time hadn't arrived yet.
He had been in the palace for five or six days.
At this time, at the entrance of the City of Gods.
Many people appeared one after another.
These people were all trial participants who had come to the Shenyun Ruins. As soon as they reached the city gate.
An orderly army appeared.
Holding weapons, they all appeared at the city gate.
"Outsiders, present your Tokens. Those without Tokens shall be killed without mercy," the leading general shouted to the trial participants outside the city.
After hearing this, those people took out their Tokens one after another.
At this time, the Tokens that originally had no writing now showed some strange symbols.
The writing on the Tokens represented their identities.
Most people's Tokens only had one word: Follower.
This word 'Follower' represented their identity as guards somewhere in the city.
On the other side of the Token, characters also appeared.
These characters were different.
[Darkness (Lord)]
[Void (Lord)]
[Five Elements (Lord)]
[Sub-God]
The writing on each person's Token was different.
After they were inspected, they were led into the city by a strange energy.
Gu Haichuan appeared here at this time.
On his Token, one side said 'Darkness' and the other side said [Guard].
Ji Yan and he were among the first to arrive here, besides Shen Yi.
On her black Token, one side said [Void (Lord)].
The other side said [County].
