Bai Yan's energy fluctuations meant something that Athena understood very well, but she never expected such a thing to happen to Bai Yan.

She was astonished that Bai Yan dared to do such a thing, and she was delighted that her master's strength was about to increase again.

The immense energy fluctuations did not go unnoticed by Bai Yan's subordinates fighting in the Divine Kingdom, and even Satan, who was enthusiastically avenging countless killings in the Divine Kingdom, returned to Bai Yan's side.

"Athena? Why are you here?"

Satan showed a very wary expression toward Athena, holding the sharp Grim Reaper's Scythe aimed at her, as if any strange movement from her would lead him to attack immediately.

"I am the master's servant, and if you want to anger the master, feel free to make a move."

"But I advise you to quietly stand by, or interfere with the master's divine condensation, and even as the Master of Abyss, no one could save you!"

Athena squinted slightly, her eyes looking at Satan cold as the winter chill, but her words left Satan stunned.

"What? Bai Yan is condensing a divine identity?"

Satan looked at Bai Yan, enveloped in the immense energy fluctuation, then at Athena, who stood aside with an expectant expression. It felt as though the entire world was playing a joke on him.

"Yes, the master is about to become a true god, though it's unknown what kind of divine identity the master will possess."

Athena's face radiated even more anticipation, as if she was ready to rush into the energy fluctuation at any moment to ask Bai Yan what sort of divine identity he was forming.

She was truly too curious.

Yes, this enormous energy wave that began with the Demon Longsword was a sign that Bai Yan was about to establish divinity and form a divine identity.

In fact, Bai Yan himself hadn't anticipated ever becoming a god one day.

After all, whether it was his human race identity or his second identity as a demon, neither had cultivated a path to godhood, and this sudden divine summons left him momentarily at a loss.

After all, he had never become a god, not in this life, nor could he recall in the past one.

"Bai Yan... How can he achieve godhood?"

"He's a demon!"

"He's a Demon Lord!"

When Satan confirmed that Bai Yan was indeed forming his own divine identity, he felt his entire worldview shatter.

Since time immemorial, gods and demons have been opposing forces, always on opposite sides in any plane.

No matter their camps, when gods and demons meet, it culminates in a battle to the death of one party without exception.

Yet today, a demon among demons, a Demon Lord was about to achieve godhood before him.

This development was beyond anything he had ever imagined.

"No... This can't be possible... I must have killed too many gods, my thoughts are being affected... I must be dreaming!"

Satan continuously denied the fact that Bai Yan was on the verge of godhood. He didn't want to see his companion in battle suddenly turn into his enemy.

If Bai Yan really became a god, would he have to deal with him?

Demons and gods are natural archenemies!

But could he truly defeat Bai Yan? Had Bai Yan ever done anything to harm him?

Countless thoughts churned in Satan's mind, contorting his face with torment.

Yet he dared not launch any attack to stop Bai Yan, who was absorbing the infinite energy of the Divine Kingdom, nor did he dare speak loudly, fearing to disturb Bai Yan and incur his disgust.

The scene of Bai Yan unleashing an awe-inspiring strike that shattered the Divine Kingdom Plane, nearly destroying the entire Divine Kingdom, was still vivid in Satan's mind. He didn't want his Abyss to become the next plane Bai Yan destroyed.

While Satan was entangled in his thoughts, the massive energy ball that had been oscillating around Bai Yan at a special frequency suddenly began to collapse.

All this energy rushed into Bai Yan's body with incredible speed, even faster than Satan could observe.

According to Satan's knowledge, this meant Bai Yan was starting to form a divine identity.

"It's starting! The master is beginning to form his divine identity!"

The excited words of Athena confirmed Satan's suspicion.

At this point, even if Satan wanted to stop it, it was too late.

The immense energy poured into Bai Yan's body, gathered towards his head, and began to spin rapidly in a counter-clockwise direction, forming a giant vortex.

If Athena knew the energy inside Bai Yan's body was spinning counter-clockwise, she would certainly have told him that the energy vortex seemed to be reversed.

Bai Yan, at this moment, clearly could no longer sense the outside world's existence, with all his consciousness focused internally.

He could even see the trajectory of every cell and every energy in his body.

It was his first time perceiving himself so clearly, observing himself.

White cells, red cells, dendritic cells, muscle cells, brain cells...

Each cell represented a responsibility, tasked with completing one or multiple missions.

Demon energy, martial arts energy, natural energy...

Each type of energy represented a cultivation system, even a legacy.

Bai Yan began to understand himself from an unprecedented perspective.

Meanwhile, the Demon Longsword suddenly floated up, and in a moment, it entered Bai Yan's body, hovering above the energy vortex in his mind.

What's going on? Is this rhythm meant for me to form a divine identity? Can a demon even form a divine identity? Or is it with the abilities of my primary identity?

At this moment, Bai Yan's heart was full of doubts, but reality wouldn't wait.

The vortex of energy spun faster again, with all the energy of the Divine Kingdom rushing towards Bai Yan at this moment.

All kinds of energy were absorbed by Bai Yan and merged into this energy vortex.

Naturally, the energy vortex expanded once again.

And at this instant, Bai Yan seemed to see in the center of the vortex, a black dot appearing.

It was an absolute blackness, absorbing everything, reflecting nothing, as though everything vanished into this ominous dot.

The next moment, Bai Yan could feel the dot expanding at an unimaginable speed, growing in an instant a millionfold until it was about the size of a grain of rice.

Still a black color, but Bai Yan could sense an endless evil within it.

Rage, resentment, seduction... All this evil could be felt in this dot.

And at this moment, Bai Yan understood.

The Demon Lord Bai Yan, at this moment, condensed an unprecedented demon divine identity.

In this instant, Bai Yan became a monument in history, because from then on, all demons had the potential to achieve godhood.

And that rice-sized divine identity, at the moment Bai Yan comprehended his being, grew to the size of an egg, shining brightly.

This was Bai Yan's demon divine identity.
