Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal?

Chapter 970: You Won’t Get Tiger Cubs Without Entering the Tiger’s Den

“Phew—!” Chen Huaian exhaled, and the next second his face lit up when he saw the pile of divine sparks on the ground.These were not Poseidon’s and Eve’s divine spark fragments, but over a hundred complete divine sparks, including a Light God on the same level as Poseidon and Eve.

If he absorbed these divine sparks…

Holy crap.

He felt like he could defecate on the Golden Dragon King’s forehead.

Chen Huaian stepped down from the Formation Core of the Extermination Sword Formation, the great formation halted, the surrounding silvery Sword Curtain vanished, and Poseidon’s sealed chamber and the corridor leading to it reappeared intact.

Poseidon nearly peed two drops when he saw this.

So his sealed chamber hadn’t actually been destroyed.

All those gods killed just now were apparently dealt with inside that isolated space?

He could even see the gods at the banquet outside, still waiting and enjoying the food.

Clearly those gods had no idea what had happened inside the sealed chamber…

What an appalling level of control!

Unimaginable.

‘Plop—’

While Chen Huaian was happily selecting divine sparks, a muffled thud came from behind.

Turning around, he saw the majestic Sea God kneeling on the ground, prostrate.

“What is the meaning of this?” Chen Huaian’s mouth twitched.

In his impression, the Sea God had been proud—why was he kneeling on the ground like this?

Had Chen Huaian’s sword formation scared the legs right out from under this Chief God?

“My lord, I am guilty!” Poseidon’s voice trembled, his head buried in the ground, his whole body shaking.

“Guilty?” Chen Huaian raised an eyebrow. “What crime have you committed?”

“I…” Poseidon’s lips moved once, he spoke cautiously, “actually, those gods were not all supporters of the Golden Dragon King. Many were neutral gods.

They were simply greedy and chose the wrong side.

So…

in a sense, I borrowed your power to eliminate dissenters.”

Oh.

Is that all?

Chen Huaian blinked.

Well done, Poseidon. If he hadn’t brought so many gods in, where would he have gotten all those divine sparks?

“No problem. Even neutral gods would likely side with the Golden Dragon King when we declare war, so killing them now is just solving trouble in advance.” Chen Huaian said.

Poseidon nodded, his tense body relaxing a little.

“There are still some gods outside. Some are my friends, trustworthy.

Others are supporters of the Golden Dragon King but cautious and experienced, so they didn’t follow inside.

Shall I try to lure them in now?”

Chen Huaian considered for a moment, then nodded: “Fine, go ahead. This Venerable One will absorb these divine sparks first.” He pointed at the gem-like divine sparks scattered on the ground.

Poseidon opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.

Absorb divine sparks…

Absorb over a hundred at once.

This overturned his understanding a little, but if it was this one, it should be fine.

…

Standing at the corridor entrance, Poseidon paused.

He must have already divided off part of his divine authority.

If he swaggered out as if nothing had changed, those gods would still see him in full vigor, and that wouldn’t add up.

As the saying goes, perform the whole play.

To make those gods fall for it, you have to pay a price.

A merciless gleam flashed in his eyes.

Then, his right hand suddenly shot out and plunged hard into his own chest!

“Ugh—!!!”

A miserable scream gushed from the depths of his throat.

Poseidon’s face contorted with agony, cold sweat pouring down.

Slash—!

Godly blood splattered as he tore the divine spark within his body apart again.

The already incomplete divine spark was forcibly cut in half under the mournful wail of the water law!

The searing pain made Poseidon’s soul tremble, his vision blackening in waves.

He fumbled out a pre-prepared divine-pattern wooden box, trembling as he carefully stuffed that half of the divine spark inside.

The wooden box was an artifact with powerful sealing ability.

Placing half the divine spark inside was equivalent to sealing away half his divine power so other gods could not detect it.

After finishing, Poseidon seemed to have aged ten thousand years.

His aura instantly deflated.

The once-oceanic Divine Majesty fell to the Mid-level God rank, his face as white as paper, his body tottering.

But Poseidon smiled.

Such visible weakness would leave those greedy bastards no choice but to believe!

…

At the very moment Poseidon’s divine spark was forcibly split, the entire Endless Sea erupted!

Rumble—!!!

The waters above the Sea God Temple exploded into towering waves! In the deep sea, terrifying abyssal rifts tore open without warning, blazing magma and icy seawater collided wildly, triggering a catastrophic quake that swept across the Canglan World.

Undersea volcanoes erupted, tsunamis ravaged the seas, and countless sea beasts fled in panic.

The ocean howled, for their god—their ruler—had had his divine spark wounded, his authority fractured!

The gods in the banquet hall went pale and put down their food.

“What’s going on?! Such terrifying law fluctuations!”

“It’s coming from the depths of the Endless Sea. The Sea God’s authority is violently convulsing!”

“Could it be… Poseidon has really—hiss! Look at that disturbance. It must be Poseidon’s divinity being stripped, and the Endless Sea is being affected as well.”

The Endless Sea was Poseidon’s Divine Kingdom, the manifestation of his godly power.

If even the Endless Sea was in turmoil, it meant something grave had happened to Poseidon!

The gods exchanged glances.

Those who had hesitated before now felt a strong, rising regret.

Look at that commotion!

That was Chief God-level authority!

If they had entered earlier, wouldn’t they be able to take a share now?

Perhaps… even replace him?

At that moment, the sealed chamber door creaked open slowly.

Poseidon emerged, looking weak.

His clothes were torn, bloodstained across his chest, his face ghastly.

The once sea-wave blue hair now dull, he looked like he could collapse at any moment.

Eve and Hades were shocked at Poseidon’s miserable condition and instinctively stepped forward.

Poseidon steadied himself on his trident and gave both of them a subtle look.

Eve and Hades froze mid-step, holding back despite their unease.

Poseidon turned to face the gods in the banquet hall, their expressions varied, and forced a bitter smile. His voice was hoarse as he said,

“Everyone… I was careless. I didn’t expect stripping away the divine authority to trigger such a severe backlash from the underlying laws.

The gods who entered the sealed chamber with me are currently absorbing divine power with all their might.”

“To prevent the Sea God’s position from collapsing entirely, I must quickly disperse these agitated divine spark fragments.

My own divine spark is still convulsing…” Poseidon clutched his chest and coughed up blood in pain, “There’s still a chance… cough, I can still split off some more.”

At those words, the greed already stirred by the sea’s upheaval in the hearts of the gods was ignited into a blaze!
