Chapter 195 A Kind Heart and the Ancient Tree of Life!
[Rewards Announced:]
[1. Law Completion: Judgment Law Advancement]
[2. Artifact Sublimation: Unlocks "Absolute Judgment" Form! (After activation, ignores the opponent's defense level and forcibly weakens all of their attributes by 30%!)]
[3. God King Origin: Divine Soul Strength Increased by 20%!]
The previously enraged Evil God King's fury instantly subsided by half upon seeing this series of rewards.
"Judgment advancement? Forced weakening?"
The Evil God King gasped.
At the God King level, even the slightest improvement was incredibly difficult.
This reward, however, directly caused a qualitative change in his combat power!
Black and white beams of light descended.
The Judgment Scales in the Evil God King's hand emitted a cheerful hum.
"Hahaha! Good! Good stuff!"
The Evil God King finally revealed a satisfied smile. Although his ranking was a bit low, this real improvement was truly satisfying!
"However..."
After laughing, the Evil God King looked at the sky, a deep doubt and solemnity flashing in his eyes.
"Even my Scales of Judgment only rank ninth."
"Then what kind of monsters are ranked ahead of me?"
The Asura God gripped his blood sword tightly and said in a deep voice, "My Asura Blood Sword is the number one super artifact in the God Realm in terms of attack power."
"I'd like to see where it ranks!"
The God of Destruction also snorted coldly, his purple Destruction Scepter radiating terrifying lightning.
"Hmph, my Destruction Scepter is the ultimate in destructive power, definitely in the top three!"
The competitive spirit of the God Kings was completely ignited at this moment!
[Artifact Ranking, Eighth Place!]
[Artifact Name: Heart of Kindness]
[Holder: Goddess of Kindness]
[Affiliation: Temple of Kindness]
[Quality: Super Artifact]
[Reason for Ranking:]
If the Scales of Judgment are the cold law, then the Heart of Kindness is the warm morality.
It possesses no physical destructive power, nor can it sever mountains and rivers.
However, it possesses the most terrifying mental control ability in the divine realm: "transformation."
Any being illuminated by the light of goodness will have their murderous intent infinitely weakened, and may even develop boundless goodwill towards others.
On the battlefield, it can instantly make a million-strong army lay down their weapons and become enlightened.
Subduing the enemy without fighting is the highest virtue!
The Divine Realm.
The evil god-king, who was still feeling frustrated, couldn't help but twitch his lips upon seeing this scene, then sighed helplessly.
"Alright... losing to her isn't shameful."
The goddess of goodness standing beside him chuckled softly, her eyes crinkling.
"It seems the heavens prefer gentler things."
As the evil god-king's companion, the two always stood together.
Although people usually felt that evil's attack power was stronger, in the judgment of the divine realm, the ability of goodness was indeed more troublesome than simple judgment.
Then, the reward for eighth place arrived as promised!
[Rewards Announced:]
[1. Divine Power Purification: The purity of the God of Goodness is increased by 10%! (When using divine skills, the consumption is reduced and the effect is enhanced.)]
[2. Divine Artifact Effect Evolution: Mother's Embrace! (After activation, an absolute defensive shield is formed, which can withstand three full-force attacks from a God King of the same level! Cooldown time: seven days.)]
[3. Special Blessing: Telepathy! (When using "Slash of Good and Evil" in conjunction with the Evil God King, the synergy is improved to perfection, and the power is increased by 20%!)]
A soft, milky-white beam of light fell from the sky, enveloping the Goddess of Goodness.
While the reward wasn't extravagant, it was still incredibly practical!
Divine power purification meant longer endurance, and the absolute defense shield was equivalent to three extra lives.
Most importantly, it was the third!
A 20% increase in the power of the couple's combined attack!
At the God-King level, a 20% increase was enough to decide the outcome of a peak duel!
"Great!"
The Evil God-King's eyes lit up, and he immediately grasped the Goddess of Kindness's hand. "Wife, with this boost, if that expressionless Shura dares to talk back to me next time, we'll just beat him to a pulp!"
The Goddess of Kindness nodded gently, feeling the increasingly refined divine power within her, her heart filled with joy.
"I really like this reward."
The God-Kings' shock hadn't subsided yet.
Just as the Goddess of Kindness's rankings were announced, the soft white light in the sky began to undergo a qualitative change.
The white light faded, replaced by a captivating emerald green.
It was the color of life, the rhythm of all things growing.
Miraculously, tender green shoots sprouted from the cracks in the floor of the God Realm, which had been paved with top-grade divine jade.
Even the sacred tree that never blooms for millennia bursts into bloom in this instant!
[Artifact Ranking, Seventh Place!]
In the scene, a towering ancient tree, its canopy blotting out the sun, stands at the edge of the void.
Its crown seems capable of supporting the sun, moon, and stars, each leaf glistening with emerald dew.
A vast life force cascades down like a waterfall, nourishing the creatures below.
Beneath this ancient tree, a goddess in a flowing emerald green dress, graceful and dignified, stands with a smile.
She is like the soul of this ancient tree, the embodiment of the source of life.
[Artifact Name: Ancient Tree of Life]
[Holder: Goddess of Life]
[Affiliation: Temple of Life]
[Quality: Super Artifact]
[Reason for Ranking:]
It is the source of life force in the divine realm, the ultimate refuge for all wounded deities.
It possesses the characteristic of "unending life"; as long as the Ancient Tree of Life stands, the life force of the divine realm will never be exhausted.
Compared to the purification of a kind heart, the Ancient Tree of Life possesses a more direct power of "healing" and "support."
It can revive withered trees and restore critically injured deities to their peak strength in a short time.
It is the strongest "super healer" in the divine realm.
"Little Green!"
Upon seeing the green figure, the God of Destruction, who had always been taciturn and even somewhat gloomy, suddenly stood up.
His eyes, which had always flashed with destructive lightning, now revealed a rare tenderness.
"I knew it! Little Green would definitely be on the list!"
The God of Destruction's black robes billowed with excitement, "Seventh place! Higher than both evil and good!"
Although he mainly cultivated the power of destruction, what he cared about most was the Goddess of Life.
Seeing his wife receive such a high evaluation made him even happier than if he himself had been on the list.
[Rewards Announced:]
[1. Body Evolution: The Ancient Tree of Life evolves into the prototype of the Eternal Tree! (Life aura density increased by 50%, coverage area doubled!)]
[2. Divine Object Condensation: Fruit of Life!] (It can bear three fruits every thousand years. Consuming one fruit can instantly heal all injuries of a first-level deity except for a shattered soul! Even a god-king can quickly recover from injuries by consuming it!)
[3. Special Passive: Life Guardian! (When the holder suffers a fatal blow, the ancient tree will automatically die in their place and randomly teleport the holder to a safe area. Cooldown: 100 years!)]
