Phantom

Overview
The name of the group or small organization of the main characters that was first established in chapter 112. Soon after, the name of the Phantom would resound throughout the whole Barren Land, and would also spread to the entire Radiance Continent. And after a long time, it would be known to all the races in the world - an indescribably formidable force in the future (chapter 1135).

Background
This group of friends were former students from Holy Roland School and quite well-known. They were all famous figures at Holy Roland School. Each of them was a talented student at the top of each branch. They were not only strong, but also had a deep background. These several teenagers were the young masters of the five great clans of the Long Xuan Empire. They could be said to be all-powerful at the Holy Roland School.

It wasn’t until the day of the school competition that the Demon Lord, Shen Yanxiao, descended with Vermillion Bird from the sky, won the championship of the school competition, and opened the road to the Barren Land. Then it was not long before the top students of the five branches, excluding the Archer Branch and the Pharmaceutical Branch, applied for suspension, and all went to the desolate land to support Shen Yanxiao (Chapter 2283).

Legend
Although they had left the Holy Roland School, their brilliant record had never disappeared from the eyes of the people.

Although the five great clans had completely relinquished their status as the Long Xuan Empire’s citizens and joined the Barren Land, the heroic deeds of these teenagers had been praised by the people of the Long Xuan Empire.

The name of their small organization “Phantom” also resounded throughout the Radiance Continent. All humans knew that in that Barren Land, there was a formidable organization called Phantom.

Among the members of Phantom, the Demon Lord Shen Yanxiao was not the only one who had been worshipped by the whole Radiance Continent; there were also some of the most outstanding geniuses of the younger generation.

The number one young Magician—Qi Xia, the number one young Priest—Yan Yu, the number one young Knight—Yang Xi, the number one young Archer—Li Xiaowei, and the number one young Swordsman—Tang Nazhi!

The Phantom, led by the Demon Lord Shen Yanxiao, had brought an unprecedented impact to the Radiance Continent.

All the teenagers made this group of powerful geniuses their goal. They knew that, soon, this group of aberrant people would erase the word “young” after their titles as number one and become the supreme representatives of the Radiance Continent! With the existence of the Phantom, there could be no other geniuses.

All the talented teenagers, shrouded in the aura of these few people, appeared to be so ordinary and unremarkable.

They were a group of unsurpassed geniuses, and there would be one day when everyone could only hope to approach their greatness (Chapter 2283).

None of the Phantom members was an ordinary character. Any one of them could easily beat all the geniuses of their profession, but Shen Yanxiao’s achievements and speed of ascension had long gone beyond the normal range of human beings. Her light was so very dazzling that it made it look like Tang Nazhi and other’s speed of improvement was not so fast. In reality, if it were not for Shen Yanxiao, their talent would have been enough to deter the whole Radiance Continent (Chapter 2308).

The War Against the Devil Race
These six people all possessed the strength of a Divine Professional. Apart from Shen Yanxiao, the other five people had all inherited the godhood of a superior god, and their strength had broken through the limits of human beings. They had taken a half-step into the ranks of the superior gods (Chapter 2650)!

Six members of Phantom killed thousands of commanders and high-ranking devil officers. This glorious record has spread throughout the Barren Land, which inspires the Alliance Army in the struggle (Chapter 2656 RAW).

Six Divine Professionals have all appeared together in the decisive battle against the Devil Race at the Rising Sun City (Chapters 2661-2662 RAW).

Conclusion of the War
Although Shen Yanxiao and her friends have disappeared, their legends remain everywhere in the Radiance Continent. Among the major cities of the Barren Land, there are statues of them that have survived the war. People will send flowers and fruits to the statues all day long, as if to cherish the memory of their heroes (Chapter 2758 RAW).

Phantom Members' Talents
Although the talent of several Phantom members was rarely seen in thousands of years, the reason for their fast promotion had something to do with Shen Yanxiao. Before they met Shen Yanxiao, they were only at the level of Senior Professionals, but when they entered the Barren Land and reached the second stage professions, their speed of improvement, instead of going down, had actually increased! This was based entirely on the environment Shen Yanxiao had provided for them.

The residence of each member of the Phantom was made of the best spirit stones, depending on whether they were learning magic or dou qi. They slept in that room all day, which was equivalent to absorbing the power of the spirit stones all the time and catalyzing the magic and dou qi in their bodies to boil constantly.

Furthermore, Shen Yanxiao continued to provide them with a large number of potions to help them improve their magic and dou qi, the lowest level of which were at the master-level.

The total value of the master and grandmaster potions they had drunk over the years alone was an incalculable number.

All previous generations of strong people had held very perfect training qualifications. Under the same qualifications, external forces were extremely important.

Shen Yanxiao provided them the best. They received the best nourishment in their skeletal muscles and veins during their adolescence, so the speed of their ascension would naturally increase with each passing day.

It could be said that the amount of energy and money Shen Yanxiao spent on other Phantom members was a terrible figure, and it was no exaggeration to say that in recent years, Phantom had spent enough money to buy a country.

With such huge financial support, could they not improve at lightning speed?

Although all the strong people in the past also came out of some major forces, whoever they were, they could not compete with Shen Yanxiao in terms of financial resources. The amount of money Shen Yanxiao was sitting on had never been seen by anyone before in the Radiance Continent. She had used all the resources in her hands and, together with Phantom, she had created a legend that would never be shattered. It was just that even Shen Yanxiao herself did not realize all of this (Chapter 2309).

Qi Xia and the others, whether in appearance, bearing, cultivation, or strength, had firmly suppressed all the members of the younger generation with their reputation as geniuses.

The Last Temple of the God Race
The last temple in the Sky City was built when the Lord God created the world, and it was also his residence. In general, other gods are not allowed to enter it at will, unless they have the permission of the Lord God. You can only get permission from the Lord God to enter the last temple when necessary. Most of the gods are born and treated in the last temple. Even if the God Race falls, the last temple will always exist. Of course, I’m talking about ordinary gods. Superior gods like the War God can freely enter and exit the last temple. The godhood of many fallen superior gods are preserved in the last temple, and the power of the Lord God there protects them from disappearing (Chapter 2506).

Godhood
Xiu can be regarded as the Lord God’s proxy. Although Xiu cannot directly create a god’s body for the soul like the Lord God can, it is not difficult for him to integrate a godhood and a soul. However, in terms of strength, there will be some differences with the real superior god. But if the soul is good enough to make up for those differences, it will not be impossible to deal with the devils.

Of the six founders/friends, all but Shen Yanxiao are very suitable to inherit the godhood at the last temple. Their souls meet various standards to integrate a godhood and become superior gods. The purity of their souls is acceptable to merge with the godhood (Chapters 2087-2088).

In addition to godhood, the superior gods also had divine consciousness. Godhood represented the power of the superior gods and the identity of the God Race, while the divine consciousness was more like the soul of the superior god.

Once all Shen Yanxiao’s seals are completely unraveled, even if she does not inherit a godhood, it will be enough to confront the devils. Once the seal of the eight major races is completely unraveled, even among the superior gods, her strength will be in the forefront.

God Race's Test
To inherit the godhood of the superior gods, they must first accept the God Race’s test. Only after they have passed all the tests can they be qualified to inherit godhood. Otherwise, even though they have now reached the last temple, they won’t be recognized by the godhood.

The God Race’s test must be completed by Qi Xia and others themselves. If Xiu gave them tips in advance, even if they passed the test, they would be regarded as having violated the rules. No gods would choose a violator as their successor. If Qi Xia and the rest could pass the test on their own, then the gods would naturally recognize them (Chapter 2514).

The God Race’s test, in a fundamental sense, was to force out the hidden dark side of their hearts. Everything in the test was just like a dream, combined with the bits and pieces of their memories. It was not so much a test of the gods, but rather them fighting with the dark side of their hearts (Chapter 2532).

Only when they have overcome their dark sides could they pass the test.

Li Xiaowei's test was about his childhood and after his mother passed away. It was about his decision to follow his father to the Black Tortoise Clan or not. See chapters 2517-2520.

Qi Xia's test was about his hidden feelings for Shen Yanxiao. See chapters 2521-2525.

They all passed the test in chapters 2531-2532.

Inheriting Godhood
It was not difficult to inherit godhood, but the ritual of inheritance must be held either by the Lord God or the War God, guiding them with divine force to awaken the sleeping godhood.

The War God can only guide mortals to inherit godhood, but cannot let them get rid of their mortal body and enter the body of a god. In the God Race, the only one who can create a new divine body is the Lord God. Although the gods that lost their divine bodies can restore their bodies in the last temple themselves, it is also because there is a record from before. Without the Lord God, it is essentially impossible to guide a new soul to become a superior god completely (Chapter 2091).

The ritual only takes three days, and after that it will take about a month for them to adjust to the integration of their body and godhood.

The other members of the Phantom had the chance to inherit godhood, but Shen Yanxiao did not. Because Shen Yanxiao knew very well that she was not that virtuous of a person. Therefore, Qi Xia and the others were a better choice than her (Chapters 2515-2516).

The Godhood's Choice
Different godhoods possessed different powers, which meant that not just any godhood was suitable for Qi Xia and the others to inherit.

In the whole temple, there were numerous godhoods that had been returned after the death of their previous owners, but among them, it was not so simple to find suitable ones for the five people to inherit. Each godhood had the will of the previous god that had owned it. If the inheritors differed too far from the character of the previous god, they could not perfectly inherit the power of the godhood.

Of the five, Yang Xi should be the one who was most in line with a god that had an indifferent temperament. Yang Xi was also the first person to sense the “gaze” of a godhood (Chapter 2534). Yang Xi was the first to be selected by a godhood.

A large part of the conditions of the godhoods for selecting their inheritor was extracted from the God Race’s test that had been passed by the inheritor candidates. During the course of the test, the godhood had already figured out the character and ability of the inheritor candidates. What they had to do now was to select the most suitable match from them, which was not difficult (Chapter 2538).

No matter how powerful a human being is, he can only inherit the godhood of one superior god.

The godhoods contained most of the divine powers of the superior gods. It was difficult for the human body to bear the inheritance of a godhood to begin with. If the physical quality and mental strength were not enough, it was feared that they could not bear the inheritance of a godhood at all. Even the strongest man in the Human Race would not be able to stand the inheritance of two superior gods; if one tried, he would definitely explode and die (Chapter 2538).

The godhood’s selection is done in a way wherein the strongest godhood can choose first. Unless the strongest godhoods directly give up their choice, other godhoods will not make a move. Although they have inherited the godhoods of superior gods, their bodies are still human. Therefore, they are not real superior gods and not as strong as them.

The first time Shen Yanxiao did after became the Lord God was bringing her Phantom's friends to the Sky City, and directly allowing them to truly inherit the godhood in their body and become real superior gods (Chapter 2759 RAW).
