Chapter 402: Chapter 402: The Metamorphosis of Saint Slarda (End of Month Plea for Monthly Votes)

The fundamental emphasis of this meditation method, corresponding to the establishment of one’s domain, lies in subsequent growth and the purification technique unique to each school’s meditation method. This allows for the utmost purification of impurities and heterogenous flesh accumulated previously, purifying the body and spirit to the greatest extent, and ultimately increasing the success rate of establishing one’s domain.
As is well known, most Totem Masters continuously refine the flesh and essence of various powerful beings throughout their growth, including the crucial Deity Indwelling Power, all of which contain more or less impurities.
When these impurities accumulate excessively, they will slowly twist the body and spirit of the Totem Master. Some Totem Masters with weaker wills can be metamorphosed into all sorts of monsters in the process of growing stronger—an issue that persists even if the Power of Faith replaces the Deity Indwelling Power, for the Power of Faith also harbors various stray thoughts from different believers, which normal Totem Masters can’t fully refine.
Only those who persist until the final step and successfully open their domains can avoid this fate.
Therefore, opening the Totem Domain is both a crucial and dangerous step because all accumulated issues will erupt at this point.
The purification techniques of an official school’s method not only purify the body and spirit but vary in effectiveness depending on the school, with those from powerful schools undoubtedly producing stronger effects.
In contrast, the common makeshift method that Lisha possesses lacks any purification effects and serves purely as a means of establishing a domain.
For other Totem Masters, this may be an option of last resort, but for Lin Xiao, any method would suffice. It doesn’t matter whether it’s from an established school or a makeshift method; he has always purified any resources and Deity Indwelling Power he consumed with the Creation Rubik’s Cube, leaving no trace of contamination in his body or spirit.
Having received the common method of domain establishment from Lisha, Lin Xiao began preparing for the establishment of his domain.
This world commonly uses a vast amount of Deity Indwelling Power, so he could prepare a large amount of the Power of Faith to replace it. Fundamentally, establishing a domain involves creating a void space within one’s Psychic Sea, then filling it with a vast amount of Deity Indwelling Power or the Power of Faith, which turns the void into reality and forms an independent domain space, akin to the Divine Realm of the Sons of God realm or the Nightmare Realm of the Children of Nightmare.
Next, the Totem itself will suppress the domain, integrating the two into one.
After that, the stage of continuously strengthening the domain and the Totem begins, which, for Lin Xiao, is akin to his high school and university phases. He will keep growing stronger until he breaks through a certain boundary, at which point he will become a Totem Monarch, comparable to a True God of a Divine Realm.
Becoming a Totem Monarch is a matter for the distant future; normally, the Totem Lord is the limit for most Totem Masters.
Because the Totem power system of this Totem civilization is not yet perfected. To be precise, the power system is perfected, but the civilization system is not. This is because a Totem Lord has opened a domain, but the subsequent growth steps are not widely known—they have not perfected how their domains should evolve.
Indeed, they know that raising living beings within their established domains can yield a feedback of strength, and collecting the Power of Faith can replace the Deity Indwelling Power to enhance oneself. Yet, they do not know why this is necessary or how to raise more sentient life within their domains to strengthen themselves. They lack this experience and simply each Totem Lord gropes their way forward individually.
The experiences they glean from this exploration are kept as their schools’ closely guarded secrets and passed down as such. Put simply, these are the personal experiences of different Totem Monarchs, their unique paths to growth—not to mention whether they are willing to share these with others selflessly. Even if they are willing, due to differences in meditation techniques and personal growth philosophies, these experiences can only serve as references and are not fully applicable to those who come after.
Ultimately, this is a civilization system still in its infancy, with only a rudimentary form of Divine Realm culture. Unless one or several supreme beings come together to construct a complete system, it can only develop slowly.
Lin Xiao has little interest in studying these things and even less in expending Creation Energy to enhance this common method. He went straight ahead and used the common method Lisha provided to open his Totem Domain.
Before that, he secretly met with high-ranking officials of the Church such as Afonso and then began his retreat.
Beneath the Life Grand Cathedral, the original Holy Church sanctuary, long since transformed, is now a heavily defended fortress.
Lin Xiao came to the sanctuary alone, arriving at a massive underground space that, after years of expansion, is more than two hundred meters in diameter and over thirty meters tall. Sufficient to accommodate a castle.
This enormous underground space, devoid of any rooms, houses only a vast metal disc covered with thick lines of grooves and patterns. Rising around the metal disc are several Golden statues, each over ten meters tall and of varied forms, emanating a faint glow.
Both the metal disc and the Golden statues were constructed by him throughout the years. Every line and every array on the statues were crafted by his hand. The Gold for the statues, transformed by the Creation Rubik’s Cube, consumed a considerable amount of his Creation Energy.
He did not rely on support from the Main World because this Super Array is too important and sensitive. He dared not use anything that could be detected by this world.
After so much preparation, the day had finally arrived.
He envisioned leveraging the surge of Element Tides provoked by the awakening of the Plane Will to forge a connection between this world and the Main World Gaia Will. This was to commence shortly, coinciding with his establishment of the Totem Domain.
During the establishment of his Totem Domain, he would naturally attract the scrutiny of the Totem Universe’s Crystal Wall Will and receive a special kind of strength. That moment would be the most dangerous and most likely to expose his identity, but also when Lin Xiao could harness power to its fullest extent. In that instant, he could use the fleeting power of the Crystal Wall’s foundational rules to drive the colossal strength of the Element Tides, forcefully breaking through the Crystal Wall seal of this world.
Accordingly, he would also be exposed under the gaze of the Totem Will, leading to revulsion and rejection by the world’s will. He estimated he wouldn’t be able to stay in this world for much longer.

If nothing unexpected happened, Lin Xiao’s incarnation was to be discarded after piercing through the Crystal Wall of the Universe to guide the Gaia Will, but it was worth it. By then, he would have already received the reward from the Gaia Will, and his true body would have advanced to a demigod. A mere incarnation could be abandoned without regret.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Xiao seriously wrote a note and threw it into the Creation Rubik’s Cube.
Lin Xiao’s true body, which had been paying close attention to the Creation Rubik’s Cube for some time, discovered the note immediately. After carefully reading it, he swiftly contacted Xie Yufei and Jin Sisi.
Soon, Colonel Xie Yufei and Jin Sisi’s incarnation descended at the same time, and both asked in unison upon meeting:
“Are you ready?”
He nodded earnestly:
“My incarnation is ready, and I’m currently making preparations to open the Totem Domain.”
Xie Yufei, ever efficient, showed a trace of nervousness for the first time and asked with concern:
“Think carefully, have you overlooked anything? If you still need something, tell me, don’t be polite.”
He smiled and shook his head:
“No, there isn’t. Hasn’t uncle’s think tank assessed it several times before? I’ve made a Descending Array according to the plan and have tried to activate it several times. There shouldn’t be any problems.”
Jin Sisi did not say much, as she had already advised him before, but just handed him a rhombic crystal wrapped in countless intricate gold runes, saying:
“This is the trump card prepared for you by the Supreme God Council, a specially processed Divinity containing the Position of the Space God. Once activated, you will temporarily possess a space godhood equivalent to the Gold Level. With this control over space, forcefully stabilizing a temporary spatial channel for a short time should not be a problem.”
“Once the temporary spatial channel opens, Commander Xie and many generals from the Fifth War Zone, along with the members of the Radiance Supreme God Council, will help you stabilize the spatial channel.”
“As long as Gaia Will descends and successfully establishes a Gaia Node, this matter will be accomplished.”
Lin Xiao received the Godforce Crystal that was wrapped in countless intricate gold runes, sensing not even a wisp of divine power from it. If they hadn’t explained it to him, he wouldn’t even know that it was a Godforce Crystal, let alone an extremely rare spatial Godhood.
Clearly, for this action, a deity of space had paid a heavy price to strip away part of its own strength.
“Then let’s start!”
Lin Xiao looked up at a certain wall, sensing in a distant direction the gaze of eyes imbued with terrifying pressure focused on himself.
That was the true body of Xie Yufei’s father, Commander Xie Tianyan of the Fifth War Zone in Yan Huang, as well as the many powerful Divine Power generals of the Fifth War Zone, and the powerful members of the Divine Council from Radiance. freewebnσvel.cøm
Most of these heavyweights had descended in their true bodies, but precisely because their true bodies had descended, their high God Levels of fifteenth or above were too powerful, and the radiation of their innate divine power was too terrifying. Under ordinary circumstances, he could not approach, let alone touch them.
Both forces regarded this operation with great importance. In his sensing, those pairs of eyes brimming with terrifying pressure likely numbered around forty or fifty, which meant that both sides combined had mobilized forty or fifty powerful Divine Powers. This strength was enough to thoroughly invade a not-so-strong Crystal Wall Universe.
With so many strong Divine Powers watching him, honestly, Lin Xiao felt quite nervous, but his nerves would not affect his actions, for the main one to act this time was his incarnation; his true body was merely providing support.
Totem Universe, Life Grand Cathedral.
After receiving the note from his true body and the Godforce Crystal wrapped in countless intricate gold runes, Lin Xiao’s face revealed a slight smile. He took a deep breath to calm himself and took out another box wrapped in runes from the Creation Rubik’s Cube.
This was a stash of Godforce Crystals prepared earlier, each containing a full thousand units of Divine Power. Here, there were a total of three thousand crystals, equivalent to three million Divine Power.
Below him, on this super-large metallic Array, there were countless intersecting nodes on the array, each with a groove. Taking out a Godforce Crystal and placing it would fit perfectly into the groove.
It took nearly an hour to equip each groove on this metallic disc almost two hundred meters in diameter
