Chapter 113: The Thunder God Returns to His Position, Faith Across Planes!
At the exact same instant that the Nine Heavens Thunderstrike Sword successfully devoured the final Tribulation Lightning, its blade glowing with inner brilliance as it completed its ultimate transformation into a great divine artifact—
"Buzz!"
At the center of Lei Chen's forehead, that profound Thunder Mark which had been resonating with the divine sword and shining with a purple-gold luster seemed to receive some final pull and infusion, its light suddenly becoming brilliant to the extreme!
It was no longer simple light, but had turned into a condensed radiance like liquid lightning, as if a miniature thunder universe containing endless life and death had been opened at the center of his forehead!
An aura of a God Position, far more complete, vast, and majestic than before, boomed awake from the deepest part of Lei Chen's soul, like a Thunder God who had slept for eons returning from the river of time, officially announcing the complete return of his authority!
The Thunder God Position on his body was finally no longer the prototype after initial recasting, and no longer in an incomplete state.
At this moment, relying on the feedback brought by the Nine Heavens Thunderstrike Sword devouring the complete Heavenly Tribulation, as well as the further deepening of his own understanding of the Laws of Thunder, the last tiny crack on the Thunder God Position that had long been tied to his soul was completely smoothed over.
All the law runes were perfectly linked, flowing endlessly, emitting the complete brilliance and supreme majesty of a First-rank Deity!
The Thunder God Position, at this very moment, finally fully restored to the level of a First-level God during its peak period!
And at the moment when the Thunder God Position was completely stabilized and the laws were perfect and flawless, a wonderful perception naturally flooded into Lei Chen's mind, like water flowing into a channel.
That was... the flow of faith.
As a truly returned First-rank Deity and the Master of Authority in charge of the Laws of Thunder and Judgment, he naturally felt those weak prayers and Spiritual fluctuations in the universe pointing towards 'Thunder' and 'Judgment'.
Just as Lei Chen had expected, because the original Thunder God had fallen too long ago—so long ago that the relevant myths and legends had been lost or blurred in the vast majority of civilizations—in this vast universe today, there were almost no ethnic groups or religions that still explicitly believed in the specific deity known as the 'Thunder God'.
There were no temples, no priests, and no systematic prayer rituals.
However, the simple faith in the natural power of 'Thunder' itself, and the meaning of 'Judgment' and 'Verdict' it symbolized, had never been completely severed in the hearts of intelligent beings.
Lei Chen clearly 'heard' it—
In a corner of the Douluo Plane, an ordinary person who had been wronged swore to the heavens in despair, wishing to use thunder as a witness to clear their name;
In a certain ruin, a ragged commoner looked at their home turned to ashes and silently prayed in their heart, hoping the Heavenly Dao would show its power and punish the culprit with thunder;
Even in the simple thoughts of some Soul Beasts, they instinctively regarded the lightning that tore through the sky as some kind of irresistible heavenly might...
These scattered, weak, yet real thoughts did not point to the name 'Thunder God', but to the concept of 'Thunder Judgment' itself, and these were precisely the core components of the Authority of the Thunder God!
Although this Power Of Faith was thin, it was like a trickling stream, crossing mountains and rivers, ignoring obstacles, and finally converging on Lei Chen, the legitimate wielder of the thunder authority.
Within the Douluo Plane, although this kind of faith was not flourishing, it did indeed exist; accumulating over time, it was also a considerable force.
But, what truly made Lei Chen's heart stir and feel a hint of surprise was—
His perception of the Thunder God's Power Of Faith was not limited to within the Douluo Plane!
At the moment the God Position completely returned, his divine sense seemed to extend infinitely along that invisible network of faith, actually penetrating the barriers of the plane walls and vaguely sensing... faith fluctuations of the same nature from other planes!
That feeling was extremely weak, like distinguishing a distant flute sound in a noisy marketplace, but it truly existed.
Those were exotic Spiritual thoughts different from the energy aura of the Douluo Plane, also containing faith in thunder, expectations of heavenly punishment, and simple trust in swearing by thunder...
"The Power Of Faith from other planes... can actually be sensed?"
In Lei Chen's deep eyes, a flash of hard-to-conceal surprise appeared, followed by an even deeper light.
This discovery was of extraordinary significance to him!
He could perceive the faith in the Authority of the Thunder God from other planes; what did this mean?
It meant that as the final and only destination for these powers of faith, he could even project his divine sense, and even... part of his power, through this cross-plane faith connection!
In other words, he, Lei Chen, the Plane Master of the Douluo Plane, had found a way to radiate his influence beyond his own plane, a potential channel to spy on or even intervene in other planes!
For a Plane Master who aspired to constantly strengthen himself and raise the level of the plane, the value of this was simply immeasurable!
In an instant, countless thoughts and plans emerged in Lei Chen's mind like a gushing spring:
Could he use these faith connections to locate the coordinates of those foreign planes?
Could he use faith as an anchor to silently infiltrate and gather intelligence?
Even... when conditions were ripe in the future, could he use this as a bridge for 'exchange' or... 'expansion' on a plane level?
If he could find a plane where faith in thunder was common, would it mean he could quickly establish his own foundation of faith there, gather a massive amount of faith, and accelerate the growth of himself and the plane?
All sorts of possibilities came one after another.
A grand blueprint spanning planes and laying out the great universe seemed to unfold a corner before his eyes.
Lei Chen's heart couldn't help but fluctuate slightly.
The potential value of this sudden discovery was not even inferior to the complete restoration of the Thunder God Position just now!
However, he was after all a Plane Master with a resilient will and a strong desire for control, knowing that everything needed to be done step by step, and one must move only after planning.
Right now, the most important thing was to ensure the Xue Di safely passed this final stage of transformation and attained the position of the ice god.
This was the key to solidifying the foundation of the home plane and improving immediate combat power; cross-plane schemes were certainly enticing, but they had to be built on a sufficiently stable and powerful foundation.
"This matter... needs to be considered carefully."
Lei Chen murmured in his heart, forcibly pushing down the many thoughts churning in his mind. His eyes, which had regained their calm, refocused on the graceful figure at the center of the peak, shrouded in increasingly brilliant ice-blue divine light.
The sea of stars across planes was certainly yearning, but the path beneath his feet still needed to be walked steadily, one step at a time. For now, protecting the Xue Di as she became a god was the top priority.
