Chapter 485 The Lonely Thor, the Outside World
"Permanently increases electrical resistance by 1%"
Jiang Chen gently grasped a bead of electric element essence and slowly activated it with his mental power.
The essence of electrical elements immediately merged into the body, and then the system notification was received.
Although it was only a 1% increase, Jiang Chen felt deeply satisfied.
After all, his current resistance to electric elements has reached 75%, and the upper limit is 85%. The 10% increase in between is not easy.
The essence of electric elements contains extremely refined electric elements, which, in Jiang Chen's perception, is much purer than the flame gem.
If used by someone with absolutely no resistance to electricity, it could likely boost their resistance to over 40%. However, the closer this resistance gets to its maximum, the more difficult it becomes to increase.
Unless one possesses a treasure like the divine stone obtained from the God of Poison, which can provide a significant boost in one go.
The first Electric Essence increased Electric Resistance by 1%, bringing the total Resistance to 76%.
It took two more pills to reach 77%.
As the limit is approached, the amount of Electric Essence required continues to increase.
Fortunately, the cave contained a rich quantity of electrical elemental essence, which Jiang Chen collected and activated as he walked.
Soon after, his resistance to electricity reached 85%, hitting the upper limit again.
To break through again, one needs a fortuitous encounter and a stroke of luck.
However, Jiang Chen had a vague feeling that a fortuitous encounter might be waiting ahead. Although his resistance to electric elements had reached its limit, Jiang Chen was not stingy at all with rare treasures like the essence of electric elements.
Although there are no clear levels of electrical element essence, it is considered a legendary substance by many.
The electrical elements in the cave had accumulated over countless years, condensing into this essence of electrical elements, which Jiang Chen has now taken.
The cave is not deep or long, only a few hundred meters.
Soon, Jiang Chen reached the end.
At this moment, his storage space had accumulated more than 400 electric element essences.
Its value is beyond words, even just from what we see.
On the other side of the cave, Jiang Chen's gaze was drawn to a huge karst cave hidden deep within the mountain.
There, lightning intertwined into a dense web, yet surprisingly, it moved without a sound. The lightning flowed silently through the cave, like electric snakes swimming, flowing like liquid.
Jiang Chen swallowed hard and muttered to himself, "Indeed, this trip was worthwhile."
"This is the legendary Temple of the Thunder God."
His voice faded into the quiet space, unable to travel.
Here, all sound is silenced, leaving only absolute stillness.
His gaze fell upon a solemn hall.
This hall is the source of all lightning elements.
Whether it's the karst cave in front of us, or the entire Thunder Burial Valley, the Thunder God Temple in front of us is its origin.
Jiang Chen knew he hadn't misread it; there was a special mark on the hall—a Thunder God's Blade.
In his palm, he also held the exact same Thor's Blade.
"Thor's Blade: The sword of the Thunder God, the key to unlocking the Thunder God's temple!"
When he obtained Thor's Blade, he already knew it was the key to Thor's Temple.
However, no one knows exactly where the Temple of Thor is hidden.
No one expected that the Temple of Thunder would be hidden in such a dangerous place as the Valley of Thunder Burial.
Jiang Chen slowly walked to the entrance of the Thunder God's Hall, only to find the doors tightly closed, solemn and dignified.
In front of the door, there is a stone that is crackling with lightning, and there is a groove on the stone.
Jiang Chen understood immediately, took out the Thor's Blade, and gently inserted it into the groove.
Instantly, Thor's Blade burst forth with dazzling light, resonating with the surrounding lightning elements. The entire cavern instantly transformed into a sea of wind, howling yet filled with tranquility and harmony.
Jiang Chen stood in the wind, letting the lightning elements brush against his body, completely unaffected.
As the wielder of Thor's Blade, these lightning elements felt a deep affinity and respect for him.
Jiang Chen could even sense an emotion from the lightning element.
The lightning elements seemed to be cheering and jumping for joy, filled with anticipation and happiness.
The doors to the Temple of Thor slowly opened under the sunlight, and Jiang Chen stepped inside.
The palace seemed to have been silent for countless years, but today it finally welcomed long-awaited visitors.
The God of Thunder, like the God of Poison, is a mid-level deity.
In the legends of many gods, the God of Thunder's reputation even surpasses that of the God of Poison, and its power is close to that of a high-ranking deity. Jiang Chen had personally witnessed the illusory form of the God of Thunder, who was defeated by the overwhelming power of the King of Wild Beasts.
At that time, Jiang Chen also lamented the fall of this deity.
The past has been buried by time, and few people know what kind of entanglement occurred between the gods and the wild beasts.
Perhaps, some answers can be found within this Hall of Thor.
The palace was not large in scale, and apart from simple furnishings, there was nothing else.
Every detail here has been meticulously crafted using lightning elements.
As time flows by, only elements can endure and remain immortal; everything else may have long since turned to dust under the erosion of time.
After passing through the front hall, Jiang Chen entered the main hall.
His gaze fell upon the main hall, where there was a clear sign of damage. Jiang Chen could sense that a fierce battle had once taken place there.
"Could it be that someone once broke into this place and clashed with the God of Thunder?" Jiang Chen wondered to himself.
Upon entering the main hall, his gaze was drawn to a corpse.
"This is... the remains of a god!" Jiang Chen exclaimed in shock.
The remains of the deity, identical to those of the God of Poison, were the body of the God of Thunder.
Despite the passage of time, the remains of the Thunder God remain in perfect condition.
Powerful lightning elemental energy enveloped its body like armor, flowing slowly as if still protecting its master.
The only area on his body that wasn't covered by lightning element was the space between his eyebrows, leaving a blank area.
Beneath this blank space, Jiang Chen noticed a small grass mark. He understood immediately, took out the electric grass, and gently placed it in that spot.
"Electric Grass: Can awaken the sleeping Thunder God"
The electric grass was slowly absorbed by the God of Thunder, and a dazzling light immediately bloomed between its brows, merging with the thunder element surrounding it.
In an instant, the wind howled, and Jiang Chen quickly retreated several steps.
The remains of the Thunder God gradually revived under the illumination of lightning.
Jiang Chen stared at the other person nervously, his heart filled with unease.
If the God of Thunder harbors hostility towards him, the consequences will be unimaginable.
His past methods might not be effective when facing a true deity.
Detonating the remains of the God of Poison might be his only option.
But Jiang Chen was once moved by the loneliness within the electric grass and promised to awaken its master. Now, he has kept his promise and completed his mission.
At the same time, he was prepared to deal with anything.
If the God of Thunder shows him hostility, he will fight without hesitation, even if it means slaying a god.
Under Jiang Chen's gaze, the God of Thunder slowly ascended into the sky, and the thunder element in his entire body began to gather between his brows.
Soon, the thunder subsided, revealing the true form of the God of Thunder.
"It's actually a woman?" Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback, not expecting that the God of Thunder was a female deity.
She was graceful and no different from a human woman.
Two pairs of lightning wings fluttered gently behind it, exuding a captivating charm.
Outside the Temple of Thor, the lightning blade shot towards her like a lightning bolt, instantly landing in her hand.
Jiang Chen was on high alert, ready to act immediately at the slightest sign of trouble. The God of Thunder gently stroked the sword in his hand and slowly opened his eyes.
Jiang Chen was startled, his eyes revealing an indescribable loneliness.
It was a profound sense of loneliness, as if all her relatives and friends had left, and she was all alone in the world.
A sense of loneliness permeated the palace, and it also affected Jiang Chen.
He then realized that this was the source of the Lightning Blade's loneliness.
I also understood why it was so quiet here.
It turns out that the God of Thunder dislikes speaking, so all sounds here have been silenced.
With a touch of nostalgia, the God of Thunder gently stroked the sword in his hand, as if he were looking at an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.
"Thank you, young human." The voice echoed directly in Jiang Chen's mind.
The God of Thunder also did not speak, but communicated with Jiang Chen through mental means.
Jiang Chen replied, "I promised this sword that I would awaken its master."
“It is my most trusted companion. I am content to see it again before it vanishes,” said the God of Thunder.
Jiang Chen was startled. "Didn't you already come back to life?"
The God of Thunder slowly raised his head and looked at Jiang Chen. "This is just a wisp of my remnant spirit left on the electric grass. My true spirit has long since dissipated in that catastrophe."
Jiang Chen subconsciously pressed on, "Is there really no possibility of resurrection? I've heard that it's very difficult for gods to truly die."
The God of Thunder gently shook his head. "The path to resurrection is as difficult as ascending to heaven. Even if I were to be resurrected, I would no longer be myself. What would be the point of such a resurrection?"
"That catastrophe was too devastating, and all the contingency plans I had prepared failed." "I am not afraid of death, but I regret that I died too late."
"My comrades-in-arms have passed away, my compatriots have perished, and now only my lingering resentment remains."
"But being able to feel the call of the Lightning Blade once again is enough."
Loneliness and sorrow intertwined, but the voice of the Thunder God revealed a transcendent and carefree spirit.
Clearly, she didn't have much fear of death.
Jiang Chen asked curiously, "Was it the King of the Wild Beasts that caused your demise?"
The God of Thunder chuckled softly, "You could say that, or you could say that it isn't."
"Young human, what is the world like outside now?"
