Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Deputy of the Divine Spirit

"Where is this place?"

"And what is that thing?"

"Why does this world appear so desolate?"

...

As Scarface continued along the enormous road, the questions in its mind multiplied, and its thoughts became increasingly active.

Until some creature, resembling a wolf demon but with four tendrils extending from its back, blocked Scarface's path.

It finally halted its steps, raising its head in confusion.

Fragmented memories flashed through Scarface's mind—memories that once belonged to Li Hao.

Unfortunately, Scarface was not Li Hao after all.

It was merely a new life, a new individual resurrected from Li Hao's corpse.

Regarding those memories that weren't its own, Scarface felt no sense of identity and couldn't comprehend their significance.

The only certainty was that the creature in front, neither wolf nor non-wolf, was dangerous.

"Howl!"

With bared teeth, it stared at its prey across the way.

To the wolf demon, Scarface was equally an unknown creature.

In this world originally inhabited by giant beasts, the wolf demon was merely a lowly existence on the food chain, a beast unheeded by gods.

But precisely because of this, the wolf demon escaped the cataclysmic disaster, crawled out from the endless ruins, and hungrily hunted everything it saw.

In fact, since its revival, the wolf demon had hunted countless creatures, yet it had never encountered an oddity like Scarface.

Slender limbs, bizarre body structure, and an inexplicable sense of danger...

These unprecedented circumstances made the wolf demon act with extreme caution.

However, this caution ultimately couldn't suppress its hunger.

The wolf demon, unable to discern any threat from Scarface, abruptly leaped after a brief hesitation.

Whoosh!

The next instant, the four tendrils on the wolf demon's back tangled together, transforming into a pair of fleshy wings, soaring into the sky.

Under gravitational acceleration, the wolf demon at that moment swooped down like a hunting falcon, planning to probe Scarface's capabilities first.

Poof!

There was neither resistance nor evasion.

The wolf demon sent Scarface's head flying with a single swipe, leaving only a slender body rolling twice on the ground.

"Howl?"

Completely surprised that the strange creature opposite was so vulnerable.

The wolf demon, having jumped several feet away, appeared somewhat dumbfounded, humanlike puzzlement showing in its gaze.

Do such "weak" creatures really still exist in this world today?

Before the wolf demon could react, a bizarre scene unfolded.

"Ah... it hurts..."

Scarface's slender body staggered to its feet, and the head that had been blown away distinctly rolled a bit.

"Why... attack me?"

Having never been exposed to such language, the wolf demon bizarrely understood Scarface's words.

This "understanding" transcended verbal communication, reaching directly to the heart and essence.

Especially when Scarface's body picked up its own head and attempted to fit it back.

This direct heart-to-heart communication became particularly terrifying.

It was like a scene from a horror film.

.........................................................

Standing from God's perspective, Li Hao silently observed the "exchange" between Scarface and the wolf demon, yet remained unperturbed internally.

Because this "exchange" between them was achieved under Li Hao's arrangement.

As for Scarface's exaggerated performance of continuing to live even after losing its head?

Li Hao had known it ever since the moment the opponent first stepped out onto the plains.

This ability stemmed from Li Hao's "Immortal Body," an innate trait possessed by Scarface's race.

Although they were not like Li Hao, capable of resurrection from nothingness even if their physical bodies disintegrated.

As long as a single cell of this body existed, Scarface could regenerate indefinitely in a manner disregarding the laws of physics and conservation of mass.

During this process, Scarface could move freely even with just a single arm.

At most, it merely lost the thinking ability the brain originally provided.

Given Scarface's inherently ignorant and unaware behavior, Li Hao did not consider it something worthy of concern.

More importantly, through Scarface's various extraordinary actions, Li Hao finally understood his current situation.

In this dreamscape originally belonging to the Candle Dragon, it seemed he was a demigod? A yet-to-ascend Creator?

This was what the True Dragon's legacy told Li Hao, and it was also the information he gathered from observing Scarface's personal panel.

[Name: Scarface]

[Gender: ??]

[Age: ??]

[Race: ??]

...

[Talent of a race: Land Animals LV3, Medium-sized Animals LV3, Innate Lone Wolf LV1, Immortal Body LV5]

[Personal Talent: Active Brain LV1]

...

[Mythical Ability: None]

[Personal Specialties: Qi Eating, Hand-to-Hand Mastery]

...

[Profession: Prophet (Inactive)]

[Skills: Enlightenment LV1]

[Personal Items: Undetected Extraordinary Items.]

[Personal Attributes: Power 11, Agility 11, Constitution 11, Intelligence 11, Perception 11, Charm 11]

[Evaluation: A yet-to-be-named race favored by God, an existence yet to become a prophet or hero, growing under the Creator's watchful gaze.]

...

After all, having read so many transmigration novels.

Coupled with the knowledge from the True Dragon's legacy, Li Hao quickly grasped his current predicament.

First of all, it could be confirmed that this dreamscape originally belonging to the Candle Dragon was some dimensional reality.

With the demise of the Candle Dragon, the divine kingdom that once belonged to it likewise fell into ruin and extinction.

Due to the term [Half-god Body LV1], Li Hao devoured and inherited the core plains area of this world.

That was the Candle Dragon's habitat, the center of this world.

If nothing unexpected occurred, Li Hao would appear in this dream world every time he fell asleep.

Then, as an "earthbound spirit," he would observe the vicissitudes of this world.

Alas, what makes accidents accidental is how suddenly they occur.

The new lifeforms born from Li Hao's corpse became extensions of his will in this world, means for him to interfere in this dreamscape.

Especially Scarface, this unique individual with the potential to become a "prophet."

It largely determined whether Li Hao could advance from a demigod to a true Creator.

At the very least, the True Dragon's legacy described it this way—the primordial prophet is the perfect deputy for a nascent divine spirit.

Giving it the ability of "Enlightenment" was Li Hao's first attempt.
