Chapter 358: Chapter 358 – Half a Year

Chen Heng’s goal in creating the Holy Son clone was to take in that massive amount of faith energy, as well as to avoid being affected by the faith energy.

This way, the one who would be affected was the Holy Son clone, not himself.

The divine energy that the clone processed would then be sent to Chen Heng for him to use.

Of course, this process had its limit; most of the energy remained within the Holy Son clone.

Before, when Chen Heng had fought with the Origin Curse, most of the energy he had used was from the Holy Son clone.

As time went on, the Holy Son clone had gathered a massive amount of energy.

This was especially so after Chen Heng gained more and more followers, causing more people to believe in the Holy Son.

This was very good for Chen Heng.

However, by now, the effects from the faith energy became quite evident.

Even though there was some separation between them, Chen Heng could still sense the changes brought by the faith energy.

It seemed that if Chen Heng had not created this clone , it seemed that he would have been greatly influenced by this faith energy and his personality would have changed.

This made him feel very wary.

“It seems that creating that clone was quite good for taking in faith energy.”

This matter gave Chen Heng a warning, as well as a reference to work off.

In the World of Gods, faith energy was incredibly common.

As Chen Heng slowly walked to the peak, he would also encounter a similar situation.

Time gradually passed, and soon, it had been another half a year.

After half a year, Chen Heng’s fame in the various nations became greater and greater, and the Holy Son became well-known.

The combination of his divine energy and mental energy made it so that anyone how saw him would be influenced by him, and become his believer.

As time passed, faith in the Holy Mother gradually transitioned to faith in the Holy Son.

Although this would take a long time, it would happen eventually.

As Chen Heng travelled about, he had also dealt with many things.

This world was not very peaceful, and curse energy would appear all over the place.

Cursed Lands also appeared frequently, and every time they did, they would cause great losses of life and resources.

However, Chen Heng’s arrival had changed this.

He had left a deep mark on this place, and wherever he went, curse energy would disappear.

During this half a year, he had encountered terrifying curses, including many high-level curses.

In fact, he had even encountered a curse that was near Origin level. Right after it had appeared, it had destroyed many cities, killing millions of people.

As Chen Heng travelled about, he destroyed all of the curses one by one.

Through this process, his fame became greater and greater.

If someone had mentioned Chen Heng’s name half a year ago, most people would not have known it.

However, things were completely different now.

In the various nations, his name was widely spread and revered.

During this process, he had also gained more understanding about the essence of Cursed Lands.

Cursed Lands were essentially another collapsing world.

This world was connected to that world, but that world had been destroyed at some point.

The destruction of that world had corroded everything, creating curse energy. The remaining world energy had also exploded, creating terrifying monsters.

This was the origin of the Cursed Lands and curse energy.

The remnants of that destroyed world had incredibly powerful destructive and corrosive properties, and instinctively spread to other worlds.

Because of this, may Cursed Lands appeared in this world.

Those Cursed Lands were fragments of the other world, and the curses birthed from curse energy were the perished souls of that world.

They had long since fallen, but had been reanimated by curse energy and become new existences.

That was the truth about Cursed Lands.

As time passed, the changes in the Cursed Lands became more and more intense, and it seemed that the distance between worlds was becoming smaller and smaller.

From how Chen Heng saw it, the boundary between the two worlds was shrinking.

Outside the world, there had been a protective layer protecting the world.

That protective layer not only protected the world, it allowed the world to absorb external energy to strengthen itself.

It was just that as curse energy had appeared, the protective layer had been gradually corroded and began to slowly disappear.

The disappearance of the protective layer made it easier for the Cursed Lands to invade this world.

Chen Heng could tell that as time passed, more and more Cursed Lands would invade this world.

This was incredibly dangerous for this world, but was also an opportunity

The danger was evident—the invasion of the Cursed Lands would bring curse energy and large numbers of curses.

As those curses rampaged in the world, they would cause large numbers of casualties, and could even infect regions to become new Cursed Lands.

In this world, there were many places that were forbidden areas, and anyone who entered would die.

In fact, in this world’s history, there had been entire nations that had been devoured by curse energy.

However, at the same time, this was an opportunity.

The Cursed Lands were manifestations of the dead world, and apart from corrosive power, the curse energy contained that world’s law energy.

This was incredibly important for worlds.

If this world could destroy the Cursed Lands and absorb them, then this world would be able to become stronger.

During this half a year, Chen Heng had already sensed his world’s reaction.

As he continuously destroyed curses and suppressed Cursed Lands, this world seemed to react, and a certain aura came upon his body.

It was Fortune.

If Chen Heng used the Fortune Mark to look at himself, he would be able to see dense golden light.

This was Fortune, which Chen Heng had earned through his efforts.

As he destroyed Cursed Lands and killed curses, the world had sensed this, and had blessed him.

Under the effects of Fortune, Chen Heng was like this world’s Chosen, and was treated like the main character.

Of course, from how Chen Heng saw it, there were not any existences that could compete with him ayways.

However, Fortune was incredibly valuable, and it could not be obtained under normal circumstances.

Chen Heng also wanted to see if Fortune from different worlds could be used together, and if he could bring this Fortune back to his main body.

Chen Heng knew that when this clone disappeared, its essence would return to his main body, but whether or not the Fortune would go along with it, he had no idea.

This would be a good experiment for him to try things out.

During this half a year, Chen Heng had cleared out countless curses, but there seemed to be no end to them.

Even if he cleared out an area, after some time, curses would reappear there.

That world’s curse energy was simply too vast, and contained nnumerable curses.

Even Chen Heng had no way of dealing with this.

Then again, he had never hought about killing all of the curses.

At the end of the day, he had only gone to different places to gain worshippers, as well as to see if he could gain the blessing of this world.

As for whether or not he could clear out all of the curses, that was not a big deal to him.

During this half a year, he had cleared out many curses, but he had not seen any curses that could rival the one at the Changyuan City. Even the strongest one was only close to the Origin level, but was still quite far away.

The one that had appeared at the Changyuan City was not a true Origin Curse, but it had begun to condense a law body, and could be counted as a Half-Origin Curse.

Even a Half-Origin Curse was extremely terrifying, and was on a completely different level.

If Chen Heng had not been there on that day, the entire city would have been annihilated by the curse, and then the entire Tiancheng Nation would have been in danger, most likely becoming a new forbidden area.

Similar things had happened in the past.

After travelling about in the past half a year, Chen Heng was now on the way back to the Changyuan City.

His goal this time was the Origin Curse from back then.

From how Chen Heng saw it, that Origin Curse was a massive treasure trove, especially to him.

If he could kill it and steal its law energy, he would be able to go through a further transformation and reach a higher level.

To Chen Heng, this was quite a big temptation.

Before, he had not done this because his strength was not enough.

Back then, even though he had beaten back the Origin Curse, that was only because he held the advantage in a range of things.

However, if he went to a Cursed Land, the situation would be reversed.

It would be the Origin Curse being strengthened by the Cursed Land, while Chen Heng’s strength would be reduced.

As such, during this half a year, Chen Heng had not done anything, and had just silently gathered strength as he waited for this day.

Today, Chen Heng would be able to return there and act.

Time gradually passed.

Sunlight shone on the ground, and Chen Heng slowly walked to a large, open area.

There was already a welcoming committee waiting for him there, among which was someone he was very familiar with.

It was a woman dressed in the Alliance’s black uniform. She was somewhat pretty, and she stared at Chen Heng.

It was Chen Rou.

After half a year, she looked like she had changed a bit too, but not much.

Looking at Chen Rou, Chen Heng slowly walked over.

“Long time no see, big sis.” Chen Heng smiled as he greeted her.

“You still knew to come back, huh?” Chen Rou’s expression was a bit complicated.

By the side, the others looked at them but did not say much.

Even though Chen Heng had not come back to the Tiancheng Nation during this time, he had been in contact with Chen Rou.

He would occasionally call her, and they were not completely cut off.

Before leaving from this place, Chen Heng refused the invitations from everyone else before going home with Chen Rou.

After returning home, Chen Heng lounged about while Chen Rou busied herself with cooking.

“After half a year, your cooking skills seemed to have regressed…” Chen Heng looked at Chen Rou as he smiled.

“After you were gone, I haven’t cooked much, so my cooking skills naturally declined.” Chen Rou said, “Are you planning to go to that place?”

She did not clearly specify, but both people knew wat she was talking about.

Chen Heng did not say anything and just nodded.

Chen Rou gave a deep sigh.

“You really make me worry,” she complained, “You were in a foreign land by yourself for so long, and now you’ve finally come back, but you’re going to do something so dangerous… can’t you just be normal and go to school?”

Chen Rou could not help but complain.

Chen Heng gave a slight smile as he listened to her, but did not say much.

From how Chen Rou saw it, peacefully going to school every day was a blissful life.

He would not have to worry about all kinds of things, nor would he have to risk his life to fight with terrifying curses.

However, even though this life was not bad to Chen Heng, it was not what he wanted.

He had experienced similar things in his first life, and did not want to experience it again.

As such, he could not do as Chen Rou wished.

Moreover, even if he wanted to live a peaceful life, that was no longer possible.

This world was being corroded by curse energy, and creatures form the other world were continuously invading this world.

It would be impossible to live a peaceful and safe life.
