Chapter 310: Source Power
The transaction was completed.
‘The Lord of the Morning Sun’ exchanged the ancient knight’s cultivation method for the God-Slaying Spear in Karl’s possession.
The ancient knight’s path, it might as well be called the primordial path.
At that time, there were no gods, no wizards, all living beings were groping forward on the path of cultivation.
Compared to the elusive spirit, the physical body was clearly the first choice.
Gradually.
Some life forms realized that through tempering, they could make their bodies stronger, and thus developed the path of the knight.
Natural disasters, outer evils, ferocious beasts…
Under various threats, although it was suitable for tempering the body, it was also easy to cause people to collapse.
Therefore, to strengthen the physique, one must first have a tenacious and indomitable spirit.
Then came the knightly spirit.
Fairness, justice, humility…
Adhering to the knightly spirit, using a strong will to temper the physical body, until one cultivates oneself into a divine being comparable to the powerful life forms at the beginning of creation.
It was perfected through generations of inheritance.
However, this cultivation method was extremely dangerous. If one was careless, one could end up with no bones left.
After the advent of wizards and the paths of the gods, it was slowly abandoned, with only the knightly spirit being preserved.
“Compared to the ancient knights, wizards perceive the astral plane and energy with their spiritual power, manipulating various substances, while the gods transform into a part of the world’s will, using themselves to represent the will of heaven, directly becoming immortal beings. The latter two are clearly more mature and perfect.”
“Moreover…”
“They are more powerful!”
There is no such thing as the present being inferior to the past on the path of cultivation.
In reality, the further one goes, the more perfect the cultivation methods become. The reason why they are abandoned is naturally because their flaws are too great.
However…
“I can walk this path!”
Karl touched his chin, lost in thought.
The divinity left behind by the ‘God of War’ is extremely powerful, capable of increasing one’s strength through slaughter.
For others, they need to temper themselves to gradually become stronger, but he can directly add points.
In this way, the method that was originally full of difficulties and dangers becomes suitable.
“Hmm…”
Karl pondered:
“Something’s not right!”
Among the methods given by the Lord of the Morning Sun, there are many records about the gods.
Among them, there are also gods who increase their strength through slaughter, such as the God of Slaughter, the God of War, and so on.
But!
These gods, because they became gods by relying on the world’s will, only possess this kind of ability in a certain world.
Once they leave that world, their power will sharply decrease.
The ‘God of War’ is rather special. The traits he left behind are not restricted by the world, they are universal in any world, but they are only effective against gods.
‘Transcending the restrictions of a single world’s will belongs to the authority of a seventh-order main deity, while becoming stronger by slaying gods is a taboo…’
“Tsk tsk!”
Karl shook his head gently:
“No wonder the gods of the other world would eliminate the God of War. Which god would be at ease with this kind of existence that proves their path through slaying gods?”
“If the God of War were allowed to continue to grow stronger, wouldn’t the other gods become his food to become stronger?”
…………
Several months later.
The Divine Domain Fragment.
Karl, who had stopped cultivating, opened his eyes and looked at his status panel.
The words wizard and forbidden knight on it had disappeared, replaced by ancient knight.
Spiritual power and physical strength had also disappeared.
They were replaced by Source Power: 86
The ancient knight was not simply cultivating the physical body, but rather merging the spirit and the physical body into one existence.
That is, Source Power!
Source Power can be used to perform martial techniques, and it can also be used to activate wizardry.
Moreover, the method Karl cultivated was not a pure ancient path, but more like a modified version of the God of War’s path.
With a thought, the source essence obtained from killing the Third Elder, the Great God’s Grace, and other items, all transformed into source power.
It was still a ratio of twenty to one.
Source Power: 94
“Crackling…”
Faint explosions came from within Karl’s body, hundreds of sounds merging into one, like a surging river.
“Boom!”
◈◈◈
His body only swayed slightly, but the entire manor trembled violently.
“Source Power?”
Karl raised his hand and gently clenched his fist, a look of surprise on his face:
“I feel that my current strength can easily smash a Middle Follower, it has improved by at least 30% compared to before. I’m afraid that even ordinary god’s children or demigods cannot surpass me in physical strength.”

The Other World.
A certain ruin.
The ashes on the ground ignited again, and slowly floated into the air, forming a circular passage.
A figure stepped out of the void, arriving before Blood Wolf and the Kent siblings.
“Dou Sha!”
“Senior.”
“Mm.” Karl, shrouded in flames, wearing a strange mask, nodded lightly to the three:
“Take me to find the Divine Followers nearby.”
“Yes.”
Kent replied, and then raised his head and said:
“Senior, because of what you did before, the Divine Followers rarely act alone anymore.”
“Also, I heard that some god’s children are coming. Once the news of your appearance spreads, I’m afraid you’ll be hunted down by the god’s children.”
God’s children?
He had been unwilling to face them before because he did not have complete confidence.
Now…
Karl’s eyes narrowed.
Although the path he was taking was different from the ancient knight’s path, they both required tribulations to temper themselves.
If he lost the fighting spirit in his heart, this path would ultimately be impassable.
“It doesn’t matter.”
He said slowly:
“Take me there.”
“Yes.”
The three replied.
…………
In the era of the collapsed Divine Domain, compared to other chaotic areas, Weir Town was almost a paradise.
The Water God’s Middle Follower was gentle and approachable. He helped the people in the town rebuild their houses, find water sources, and cultivate food, allowing the place to steadily get back on track.
People spontaneously built a church for the deity, and went there to worship every day.
On this day.
A carriage slowly drove into the town.
Blood Wolf and Kent each rode a unicorn, guarding the sides, while Jima controlled the carriage as the driver.
“Stop!”
The patrol officers in the town shouted as they ran over:
“Carriages are forbidden on the street in front of the church. This is disrespect to the gods. You must stop immediately.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw one of the knights turn his head to look at him. The cold gaze made his body stiffen.
His original intention to forcibly stop them also ceased.
“Swish…”
On the clean and tidy road, streams of water appeared out of nowhere, and gradually gathered into a figure.
Divine Technique!
The Water God’s Middle Follower, Zimmerman.
“Dou Sha?”
Looking at the carriage, Zimmerman’s expression was solemn:
“You actually dare to show yourself.”
“Zimmerman?” The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and an indifferent voice came from within:
“You have managed this town very well. For that, if you are willing to give up your identity as a Divine Follower, I can spare your life.”
“Hmph!” Zimmerman snorted coldly upon hearing this:
“I will never betray the gods!”
“Is that so?” Karl sighed softly:
“Then…”
“Go die!”
Heart Buddha Palm ━ Earth Shaking!
An invisible force appeared out of thin air. Before Zimmerman could even react, his entire body was blasted into countless pieces.
Karl slowly withdrew his palm, his expression unchanged:
“I promised someone that this world does not need gods, even ‘benevolent gods’.”
“Since there is a chance to do it, of course I have to try.”
