Chapter 224. You Want Me to Fall Asleep? Sorry, I Have Infinite Mental Power
Inside the Guankou Divine Ruins, within the cave dwelling covered in pale golden runes, a silver-white beam of light suddenly appeared.
The place illuminated by the beam was none other than the Sleep God suspended in the void!
He bathed in silver-white divine light, like a full moon in the night sky that lulled people into sleep.
The instant the dazzling divine light gradually weakened, the Sleep God’s appearance underwent a world-shaking transformation.
The usual sloppy, unkempt young man.
In the blink of an eye, he became a handsome man as gentle and refined as jade. A black velvet robe embroidered with stars draped over his shoulders, and the silver threads falling from the hem of his robe resembled the trails of meteors. His hair fluttered softly like mist and clouds.
The greatest change, however, was in those eyes that looked down upon all living beings without expressing the slightest emotion.
Inside the cave dwelling, Jiang Yichen looked at the Sleep God in midair… No, now he should be called Hypnos, the ancient Greek God of Sleep!
Mei Xue’er and Su Linyu’s faces turned pale. The pressure from the Sleep God’s Divine Power made even their divine souls tremble.
It was a kind of divine might that could not be challenged and could not be blasphemed.
Mei Xue’er bit her lip and tried her best to keep herself awake. She did not dare look at the Sleep God in midair at all.
Only at this moment did she feel how insignificant she truly was. She could not even face a god directly.
“Sleep, children!”
Suddenly, the Sleep God slowly spoke. His tone was like a mother telling a bedtime story to her children, gentle and reassuring.
Silver-white Divine Power rippled through space, and Mei Xue’er and Su Linyu’s eyelids immediately began to droop.
Su Linyu had almost no ability to resist. She leaned against the stone wall and fell into a deep sleep.
As for Mei Xue’er, who primarily cultivated the mind, she barely managed to hold on as she shouted, “Jiang Yichen, quickly use your spatial ability to take them away. Gods cannot be opposed…”
After saying only one sentence, she completely sank into sleep.
Even Xiaotian Dog, a divine beast from Huaxia Mythology, kept shaking his drowsy head.
“Damn Foreign God, if your Dog Lord’s strength had recovered, I would swallow you whole in one bite!” Xiaotian Dog raised a front paw, pointed at the Sleep God, and cursed. Fortunately, he could still barely resist.
In contrast, Jiang Yichen’s expression was as calm as still water. He was not affected in the slightest, as if Hypnos’s Divine Power was nothing at all.
Hm?
Hypnos looked curious. He sized Jiang Yichen up and said, “You are a somewhat disobedient child. Be good and have a sweet dream.”
He raised his right hand, and white, threadlike Laws gathered together, wrapping around Jiang Yichen like a warm cotton coat.
However, the expected result of Jiang Yichen sinking into the dream realm and dying did not appear.
He still stood there, his expression unchanged. Instead, a faint, playful smile appeared on his face.
Xiaotian Dog, who was barely forcing himself not to sleep nearby, was dumbfounded.
No, even this damn Foreign God’s Laws are useless against this brat? Just who exactly is he?
Since the Divine War, the gods of the Heavenly Court who had not died had all been severely injured, and their strength had declined greatly. Yet when facing a Foreign God revived in his full glory, this brat could actually remain so calm and composed.
Which big shot from the Heavenly Court is he?
At this moment, Hypnos also realized that something was wrong and stared at Jiang Yichen with a frown.
“Why are you not being obedient?”
Jiang Yichen smiled faintly. Inwardly, he sighed at the terror of Infinite Mental Power. Even Hypnos’s dream-realm Laws were ineffective against him.
“Obedient? Sorry, I like staying up late.”
Jiang Yichen raised his eyes and looked at Hypnos. “If you want to sleep, I can grant your wish.”
A trace of anger flashed across Hypnos’s handsome face. “Huaxia, hehe. Back during the Divine War, I was stripped of my tendons and bones by a little brat who stepped on two flaming wheels. I still remember it clearly even now.”
“I did not expect that after reviving and returning, even a lowly Huaxia human would dare blaspheme me. This truly delights this god!”
He suddenly changed from the gentle, beautiful man he had been just now into a resentful man with a face full of killing intent.
A little brat stepping on flaming wheels?
Jiang Yichen thought about it. That should be Nezha, who was known as the “Heavenly Court’s Number One God of Slaughter” and one of the “Three Great Rebels,” right?
He wondered whether Nezha’s Divine Contract Holder had appeared yet.
Looking at Hypnos’s resentful face, he said calmly, “You deserved it.”
“Lowly mortal, what did you say?”
Hypnos’s furious voice resounded through the cave dwelling, causing the entire cave dwelling to tremble slightly.
He raised both hands, and silver-white Divine Power gathered in his palms. “Very well. Today, I shall make Huaxia die in its dreams!”
“Eternal Sleep!”
As his words fell, the Power of Laws rippled through space and spread endlessly.
This time, even Xiaotian Dog, who had barely been holding on, could no longer endure it. His belly flipped upward, and he fell asleep.
Jiang Yichen could not help blinking. Under the powerful Laws, even his Infinite Mental Power was stirred slightly.
Gods really did have something to them. If Hypnos were not primarily focused on mental attacks, this would probably have been a bitter battle.
Fortunately, he was now someone who possessed Supreme-grade · Deification. Whatever god you were, all of you had to sit down before him.
“Deification!”
Jiang Yichen activated the Supreme-grade · Deification skill.
The instant it activated, he only felt the blood and Qi inside his body surge. Blue veins bulged, and his skin became covered in fine blood-red patterns.
A moment later, however, divine bones like colored glass replaced his original bones, and divine light shone through his flesh and blood.
Every breath Jiang Yichen took caused space to resonate, and the stars swept up an energy vortex that stretched for thousands of miles.
This…
When Hypnos saw this scene, his eyes widened, and disbelief appeared in them.
This Huaxia mortal before him had not only avoided falling into eternal sleep under the influence of his Laws.
Instead, signs of Divine Power being stirred had appeared around him. How could this possibly happen to a mortal?
BOOM—!
Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from within Jiang Yichen’s body. The Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth surged toward him like a tide, transforming into visible bands of seven-colored light that rushed into his seven apertures one after another.
The void around him began to twist, tear, and boil. The blood vessels beneath his skin bulged, but they were no longer crimson with blood. Instead, they flowed with gilded Divine Power.
Hypnos’s eyes shook, and he stood there somewhat dazed.
Divine Power!
A mortal had produced Divine Power! How was this possible!!?
