Chapter 281: Killing the Elders, New Krypton

Upon hearing that these elders wanted to dispose of the Merpeople Queen, Ling Jiu knew he could no longer just standby, so he emerged.

Seeing Ling Jiu who had suddenly appeared, the many Merpeople elders were taken aback as they stared at him with a guarded look.

"Who are you?" the Elder Tiger Shark asked coldly.

At this moment, the Merpeople Queen spoke. "Master, why are you here?"

Hearing this, how could the members of the Council of Elders not know Ling Jiu's identity. They glared at Ling Jiu one after another, with endless fury and murderous intent surging in their eyes.

"You are the human who had enslaved Her Majesty? What brazenness, you dare to intrude upon our Merpeople Royal City? Death awaits you!"

The many Merpeople elders unleashed their aura one after another as a series of terrifying aura charged forth like a giant surging wave as they slammed against Ling Jiu.

The air froze instantly.

It was not outlandish to think that should Ling Jiu made any strange moves, these powerful Merpeople would strike without hesitation and kill him where he stood.

The Merpeople Queen's expression changed drastically. This was not the result she wanted to see. She knew that as the Queen of the Merpeople, submitting to an outsider was undoubtedly brought great shame to the Merpeople, so she had decided to abdicate her throne to someone else.

However, as Ling Jiu's servant, Ling Jiu's will was her priority rule of conduct, and she would never allow anyone to harm Ling Jiu.

Wooosh!!

The Merpeople Queen instantly appeared before Ling Jiu, and used her body to shield the powerful aura of the Merpeople elders. "Elders, please hear me…"

"Your Majesty, kill this person, and you shall be our Queen of the Merpeople."

"Your Majesty, kill him!"

"Your Majesty, this is your best chance, kill this cur immediately!"

The Merpeople Elders all spoke one after another.

In the face of such an order, the Merpeople Queen naturally cannot agree to that, as she immediately said. "Elders, I can never betray master, and more so to kill him!"

"Your Majesty, how could you do this?"

One of the Merpeople Elder said with a painful look. "Not killing him means betraying the Merpeople, the Council of Elders will never accept this, the Merpeople will never accept this, nor the laws of the Merpeople would accept this!"

"Your Majesty, the Council of Elders gives you one last chance to immediately kill this person, or else…"

"Alright, shut up."

At this time, Ling Jiu spoke as he looked at the Merpeople Queen, and said faintly. "You step back first."

"Yes, master!"

The Merpeople Queen bowed and stepped back.

Ling Jiu looked at the elders of the Council of Elders, and smiled faintly. "I did not expect the Merpeople to have a Council of Elders, and for it to be so powerful to the point of actually deposing a queen, that's a bit too much isn't it?"

"You cur! What manner of trance did you put Her Majesty into? For her to submit to you even at the cost of betraying her people?"

"Why bother bantering with him? Kill this cur, and then depose the Queen. The Council of Elders will choose another queen."

"That's right! There's no need to talk to him, kill him!"

As soon as they spoke, the Merpeople elders surrounded Ling Jiu.

Seeing this, the Merpeople Queen panicked. On one side was her master, and the other her people. She definitely did not want to see both sides right each other.

However, she could not control how things developed, especially when she was the weakest among them.

Ling Jiu waved his hand off, motioned her to stay calm as he looked at the elders with a faint smile. "There are many who want me dead, so who are you lot again?"

"Insolence!"

"Get him together!"

The Merpeople elders did not dither and immediately struck.

Although they were all galactic lifeforms, their attacks were not much different from the Merpeople Queen, mainly through control of water current and Laws of Water.

Against this, Ling Jiu had experienced this when he fought the Merpeople Queen, so he did not bother wasting time with these lot, and instantly swapped into his Golden Saiyan Ape clone, and started his extremely violent attack.

Boom!

His fist blasted out, and wherever the fist blast passed, the void shattered, and Ling Jiu's fist immediately appeared directly before one of the Merpeople elders.

"Sh*t!"

The Merpeople Elder had no time to dodge, and his head was blown into smithereens by the punch, not having the time to scream before he died.

"Elder Swordfish!"

This scene caused the Merpeople elder's expressions to change drastically as a look of fear appeared in their eyes. They had never expected Ling Jiu to be so powerful that Elder Swordfish, a powerful and ancient galactic lifeform was killed by a single punch.

What terrifying manner of strength was this?

"Next!"

Ling Jiu did not know of the terror inside the Merpeople elders, nor does he was bothered to find out. He twisted his neck and let out an audible crack as he locked onto the second Merpeoplee elder.

This was an elder with a shark tail but a human body. He was the strongest and the most indignant Elder Tiger Shark.

After Ling Jiu's gaze swept past him, Elder Tiger Shark trembled all over, as a chill rose from his heart and he could not help but take a few steps back.

"Afraid now? Heh, being afraid won't change the fact that you are about to die."

Ling Jiu smiled faintly, then punched again.

"No!!!"

Elder Tiger Shark yelled in horror and fled. However, just a few steps in, his entire head exploded.

The second elder… dead!

At this moment, the entire place was dead silent.

All of the elders seemed to be frozen in place as they looked blankly at Ling Jiu. Their eyes were filled with endless horror and despair, as if they were looking at their harbinger of doom.

"Anyone else wants to kill me?"

Ling Jiu looked at the Merpeople elders.

This time around, all of the Merpeople elders were silent, and no one uttered a word, and no one even dared to look directly at Ling Jiu.

They were all scared.

In all fairness, they would of course want Ling Jiu dead, even if their dreams, but clearly, their strength were totally on two different levels, so how to kill him?

"Since no one wants to kill me any longer, let me say a few words."

Step by step, Ling Jiu walked onto the throne that originally belonged to the Merpeople Queen and sat on it, as he looked down upon the Council of Elders, saying faintly.

"I've enslaved your queen, and so, anyone has any objections to that? If you have, you can stand up and speak, I will give you a satisfactory answer."

Hearing this, the elders of the Council of Elders wanted to curse. Talk to you? You're probably going to kill us like you did with Elder Swordfish and Elder Tiger Shark no? Do you think us stupid?

"No objections? That is to say, you have no comments about me enslaving your queen, right?" Ling Jiu continued to ask.

The Council of Elders kept silent.

Objections?

Of course they did, but how would they dare to voice it out?

"What? Suddenly became dumb?"

Ling Jiu asked coldly.

"We…"

The Merpeople Elder stuttered as they dared not look at Ling Jiu in the eyes.

"Nothing to say? What does that imply? Yes, or no?"

Ling Jiu raised his tone, and the temperature in the hall suddenly dropped.

"We…we have no objections."

A Merpeople elder said tremblingly as his desire to survive was as clear as day. The other elders were sad and indignant, yet they dared not say anything.

"Since there are no objections, you may leave. Remember, if anyone says something they shouldn't, or do something they shouldn't once they go out, I won't mind teaching him a lesson in conduct with my fists. I believe none of you can stop me."

Ling Jiu waved his hand.

The Merpeople elders, as if they were given amnesty, left the room as if they were fleeing. At this moment, only the Merpeople Queen and Ling Jiu were left.

"Master!"

The Merpeople Queen looked at Ling Jiu with a complicated expression.

"Alright, the trouble has been resolved. You can continue to be queen."

Ling Jiu said lightly.

"Yes, master!"

There is no one that would be willing to give up power just like that, and the Merpeople Queen was no exception. Under the pressure from the Council of Elders, she had to relinquish her throne, but now it seemed like the matter had been temporarily suppressed.

"But, Master, the Council of Elders will not let this slide."

The Merpeople Queen said with a worried look.

"They won't let this slide? Let them come then, they are just a bunch of rabble, it won't affect anything." Ling Jiu said nonchalantly.

The Merpeople Queen did not say anything else. She noticed that her master's strength had improved significantly compared to last time. For master now, the elders were indeed no threat.

"I came here today to ask you about something." Ling Jiu went straight to the point.

"Master, please say!" the Merpeople Queen said respectfully.

"I want to go to Atlantis, tell me where the wormhole leading to Atlantis is." Ling Jiu spoke his intention.

"Master, you want to go Atlantis?"

The Merpeoplee Queen was shocked. "Master, don't do it. It's too dangerous there!"

"No need to panic."

Ling Jiu waved his hand. "I only want to go there to have a look, not start a war with the Kryptonians."

That was the truth. Although Ling Jiu believed that he could directly annihilate the Kryptonians with Leoux around, he did not intend to do so.

He planned to use the Kryptonians as a touchstone to test the strength of his Golden Saiyan Ape clone. So on this trip to Atlantis, he planned to capture a group of Kryptonians to become his gardeners and to also test out the Kryptonians' strength.

Hearing this, the Merpeople Queen heaved a sigh of relief as she respectfully said. "Master, please come with me."

The two left the Merpeople Royal City, and came to a dark seabed. The place was pitch black, without the presence of any floating mountains around, but suspended in the middle of this darkness was a blue sphere of light.

The Merpeople Queen pointed at the light sphere and said. "Master, this is the sea cave leading to Atlantis."

"You stand guard here, I'll go have a look."

Ling Jiu gave the order and entered the blue wormhole. As he passed through it, he soon appeared in the ocean on the other side.

However, unlike the dark ocean of Europa 2, this ocean was rather bright. Ling Jiu swam upwards and soon arrived at the surface, and what entered his eyes was the azure sky and the endless blue sea.

"This is Atlantis? It looks somewhat similar to Whitehole 3," Ling Jiu could not help but say to himself.

"They may look the same, but there are still some differences to Whitehole 3." Leoux's voice rang in Ling Jiu's mind. "There is no Dark Bio-energy on this planet, only slightly more potent Gene Arcana."

Chapter 282: Capture the Supermen, Highly Efficient

Atlantis was a beautiful planet, the surface of which was entirely covered by seawater. There was almost no land except for islands dotting the globe. It was truly a water planet.

"Leoux, have you found the Kryptonians?" Ling Jiu asked.

"Found it."

Leoux said with a smile, "Maybe because the Kryptonians have just arrived on this planet not long ago, there are few of them—less than a thousand, and they are relatively concentrated. Most of them gathered in the southern hemisphere. They are easy to find."

"Take me there."

Ling Jiu's eyes were gleaming with excitement. Ender Leoux's guidance, he teleported towards the Kryptonian settlement.

A few minutes later, the two arrived at the outermost island, which was small and only a few square kilometers.

It was a beautiful island covered with greenery. In the middle of the island stood a splendid villa.

The style of this villa differed from that of on Earth. It was backed by the forest and facing the ocean. Apparently, the owner of this villa knew how to enjoy life.

That was exactly what happened right now.

A brawny man with a bronzed body was lying on the lounge chair, basking in the sun in front of the villa.

He was close to two meters tall, his body well-built with muscles even bigger than that of those bodybuilding champions who took tons of drugs to grow their muscles.

Ling Jiu could sense an aura that was no less powerful than that of any Merpeople elder emanating from this Kryptonian.

He was apparently a galactic being.

"I meet a galactic being as soon as I arrive. The Kryptonians are truly powerful."

Ling Jiu quietly exclaimed in awe and then revealed himself.

This Kryptonian was highly alert. When he noticed Ling Jiu's presence, he opened his eyes, spotting him in an instant. A faint coercion force hit Ling Jiu's body.

"Who are you?" The Kryptonian shouted in a deep voice.

Ling Jiu did not understand the language that Kryptonian was speaking, and he did not have to because he had no intention of communicating with him.

Ling Jiu moved so quickly that he appeared in front of the Kryptonian and punched him in the face before he knew it.

However, the Kryptonian was tough. The Ling Jiu could blow the head of a Merpeople elder with a punch, but he could only knock out the Kryptonian.

"His head is really hard." Ling Jiu sighed. "I will leave him to you. You know what to do, don't you?"

"You got it. Don't worry." Leoux smiled and released the Leoux to capture the Kryptonian.

Ling Jiu did not rush to other islands to find more Kryptonians. Instead, he lay on the lounge chair and basked in the sun.

You could not make bricks without straw. He had to study the Kryptonian first before he made another move. Leoux did not disappoint. Ten minutes later, Leoux spoke to Ling Jiu telepathically.

"It's done, Ling Jiu."

"Tell me," Ling Jiu said lightly.

"The Kryptonians who came to Atlantis were just a part of the Kryptonians. One hundred and fifty years ago, the core of Krypton, the Kryptonian home planet, collapsed, leading to the destruction of Krypton. So these people left Krypton," Leoux said. "Then, after wandering around, they finally came to Atlantis. At that time, there were only sixteen of them."

"Only sixteen of them defeated the Merpeople?" Ling Jiu was shocked.

"Exactly. The sixteen Kryptonians are all elite warriors, powerful galactic beings." Leoux continued, "After they came to Atlantis, they killed many galactic beings of Merpeople and eventually occupied the entire Atlantis. They built their new home here and called it New Krypton."

"New Krypton?" Ling Jiu raised his eyebrows. "Where are the sixteen people now?"

"The sixteen Kryptonians are the most powerful and respected people of New Krypton. They are called the sixteen Kryptonians patriarchs. These sixteen Kryptonians live on the sixteen largest islands of New Krypton. All Kryptonians on this planet are offspring," Leoux said.

Ling Jiu nodded slightly. "How many stellar and galactic beings are on Krypton now?"

Ling Jiu was more concerned about this compared with the invasion process of the Kryptonians.

"There are over 1,300 Kryptonians on New Krypton. Seven hundred and eighty-four of them are stellar beings, sixty-eight galactic beings, and the rest are children," Leoux replied.

"Seven hundred and eighty-four stellar beings, and sixty-eight galactic beings?"

There was shock in Ling Jiu's eyes. There were only 1,300 people, but so many stellar and galactic beings.

The Kryptonians are ridiculously powerful. How strong would they be if there were as many Kryptonians as there were humans on Earth?

"What an incredible species." Ling Jiu was in awe.

"Kryptonians are indeed powerful. But they have a low fertility rate. It is impossible for their number to grow to become like that on Earth until after a few thousand years," Leoux said. "From this point of view, the Kryptonians are actually inferior to Earthlings as their fertility rate is too low."

"Maybe." Ling Jiu stood up. "Let's catch some more Kryptonians. By the way, what did you do with that captured Kryptonian?"

"I did what you told me: erase his memory, and then implant a new thinking to turn him into an errand boy," Leoux explained, then released the Kryptonian. When the Kryptonian saw Ling Jiu, he submitted himself to him. "Master."

Ling Jiu was happy with his attitude. He then sent the Kryptonian to plant trees on the floating island with the wave of his hand.

The Kryptonian faithfully carried out Ling Jiu's orders, and had planted dozens of super arcana trees in just a few minutes.

Ling Jiu was happy with the result. At the speed of this Kryptonian planting trees, he could at least plant tens of thousands of trees a day. Not only that, the Kryptonian required no rest.

If there were dozens or even hundreds of such Kryptonians, they could fully assume the heavy responsibility of planting trees and afforestation.

With this thought in mind, Ling Jiu was champing at the bit to capture more Kryptonians. He came to the first island under Leoux's guidance.

This island was much larger than the previous one. Among the 20 or 30 Kryptonians living on it, there was one galactic being.

Ling Jiu did not hesitate. He first dealt with the galactic being, then captured other Kryptonians—adults and children alike.

He handed them all over to Leoux, who modified and turned them into errand boys.

The two immediately left the island and came to the third one. On this island, Ling Jiu hit a wall for the first time because he encountered an extremely powerful Kryptonian, who was old but exuded an extremely terrifying aura.

Even Ling Jiu, a Saiyan Golden Ape avatar, was quaking in his boots. This opponent was too terrifying.

"Don't go head-on," Ling Jiu murmured, planning to leave quietly. But this old Kryptonian had still discovered Ling Jiu and chased after him.

A brutal war broke out.

The elderly Kryptonian showed unparalleled combat strength in terms of speed, strength, and defense. He crushed the Saiyan Golden Ape avatar.

After only a few encounters, the Saiyan Golden Ape avatar burped up blood and was seriously injured.

The Saiyan Golden Ape avatar had no choice but to flee into the ocean. But it still could not escape the eyes of the elderly Kryptonian.

As the Merqueen said, Kryptonians had extremely sharp eyes. They could see the fish and hear sounds—however faint—at the bottom of the deepest ocean.

Hiding at the bottom of the ocean? That was impossible.

Ling Jiu had no choice but to switch to his original form, teleported thousands of kilometers away, and finally shook off that elderly Kryptonian.

"Damn it! That was enough embarrassment."

Ling Jiu bemoaned his bad luck. If not for the elderly Kryptonian, the hundreds of Kryptonians on the island would all fall into his hands. By then, he would have gathered enough gardeners.

"What do you plan to do next, Ling Jiu?" Leoux asked.

"I don't have the number yet. I will not give up." Ling Jiu snorted. "There are so many Kryptonians on this planet, there can't be such a powerful Kryptonian on every island. Let's pick those who are weaker."

"Okay."

Next, Leoux came up with the distribution map of the Kryptonians, circled the islands guarded by the powerful Kryptonians and avoided these places. Instead, they would go after those islands with weaker Kryptonians.

It turned out that Ling Jiu's strategy worked well. He had raided a dozen islands and captured hundreds of Kryptonians in just a short time.

"That's pretty much enough." Ling Jiu looked at the over three hundred Kryptonians working on the floating island with elation in his eyes. Among these 300-something Kryptonians, there were 250 stellar and 17 galactic beings. The rest were Kryptonian children.

They were highly efficient at planting trees. The super arcana forest was rapidly expanding.

It would not take long before super arcana trees would fully cover the entire one-million-square-kilometer floating island. By then, the dark bio-energy produced every day on the floating island would reach a terrifying level.

Ling Jiu had run a calculation before this.

A hundred thousand super arcana trees could produce enough dark bio-energy to form a stellar core in one year.

Three hundred and sixty million super arcana trees can produce enough dark bio-energy to form a stellar core in just one day.

The current floating island covered an area of 1 million square kilometers, which could be planted with 100 million super arcana trees.

He was not far away from having 360 million super arcana trees.

"Okay, let's go home," Ling Jiu said. "I have got to improve my strength first before coming back to teach those Kryptonians a lesson and make a clean sweep."

Report chapter

Chapter 283: Mind Manipulation, This Is a Giant

Ling Jiu and Leoux returned to Europa.

In the half-day while the two were away, the group of Merpeople elders were disciplined and did not cause any trouble. The Merpeople were leaving peacefully, just like before.

Ling Jiu talked to the Merqueen for a while before he left for Europa, returned to Whitehole 2, and then came to the asteroid belt and continued to devour the asteroids.

Devouring and expanding. Devouring and expanding.

Time flies when you are busy. Ten years had passed since then.

On this day, Ling Jiu stopped what he was doing as he had devoured the entire asteroid belt. In other words, this asteroid belt had become history.

Tremendous changes happened to the floating island after he swallowed so many asteroids.

Over the past ten years, the floating island had never stopped expanding, from the initial 1 million to the current 14 million square kilometers.

It had expanded 14 times over.

It was larger than Huaxia in his previous life, slightly smaller than Russia.

The super arcana forest had also undergone enormous changes as the floating island expanded.

With the joint efforts of over 300 Kryptonians, the super arcana forest had never stopped growing.

The 300 Kryptonians had planted 300 million trees in the past ten years.

In other words, there were 400 million super arcana trees planted on the floating island right now.

This was an impressive figure.

It meant that the dark bio-energy produced on the floating island was enough for Ling Jiu to form a stellar core every day.

This was an immense improvement. He could be self-sufficient from now on even without dark bio-energy crystals.

This was the change of the floating island. Ling Jiu had also gotten a qualitative boost to his strength with tremendous progress to the evolution of the elixir field's stellar system and the comprehension of the Law of Dimensions.

In terms of the evolution of the elixir field's stellar system; he had successfully formed nine stellar and 36 planetary cores.

In other words, he would have a perfect stellar system as soon as 45 planetary and 6,561 satellite cores formed.

This meant that he was only one step away from becoming a galactic being.

It was much simpler to form planetary and satellite cores than stellar cores. It took less dark bio-energy and time to form planetary and satellite cores.

He believed that given him another ten years, he could evolve a perfect stellar system and become a real galactic being.

In terms of the breakthrough in the Law of Dimensions, he had almost fully comprehended the part of the Law of Dimension that stellar beings needed to comprehend. That was the zero-dimensional space after the ten duplicates studied it day and night.

The Emissian civilization divided the comprehension of the Law of Dimensions into several stages:

Stage 1: Zero-dimensional space.

Stage 2: One-dimensional space.

Stage 2: Two-dimensional space.

Stage 2: Three-dimensional space.

What stellar beings needed to do was to comprehend the zero-dimensional space. And Ling Jiu had completely comprehended it and met the requirements of the Emissian civilization for stellar beings.

However, Ling Jiu was not complacent. He let his duplicates continue to comprehend the one-dimensional space, making persistent efforts to comprehend the one-dimensional space as soon as possible.

Ling Jiu had made enormous progress in evolving the elixir field's stellar system and comprehending the law of Dimensions.

But the biggest change was the Saiyan Golden Ape avatar.

The Saiyan Golden Ape avatar seemed on steroids, its strength increasing like crazy for the past ten years.

Going from Level 1 to Level 6 galactic was a tremendous change.

The most striking of all was that his physical attribute index had also increased from the initial 2 million to the current 15 million.

In other words, the physical attributes of the Saiyan Golden Ape avatar were 15 million times that of ordinary galactic beings—this was crazily strong.

The improvement of the Saiyan Golden Ape avatar shocked Ling Jiu. But Leoux said it was a matter of course, because this was what the Saiyan Golden Ape avatar was supposed to be.

The ordinary Ultimate Saiyan Golden Ape warrior was already extraordinary, not to mention Ling Jiu's Saiyan Golden Ape avatar had three more unique arcanas.

The first was the ability to transform various forms of energy into vitality.

The second was Devourer of the Flame Astral Behemoth.

The third was Inner World of the Flame Astral Behemoth.

These three arcanas made the Saiyan Golden Ape avatar never lack vitality. Not only that, its vitality was often in a state of saturation.

How could the Saiyan Golden Ape avatar not improve so quickly when it had all these arcanas with the addition of a Gravity Bangle?

Other than these three arcanas, Ling Jiu had endowed the Saiyan Golden Ape avatar with the arcanas of Blink, Time Halt, Super Vibration, and Mimeograph.

In Leoux's words, the current Saiyan Golden Ape avatar was the most powerful Ultimate Saiyan Golden Ape warrior in the universe.

His current strength might not be strong, but he definitely had the most terrifying potential in the universe. Once he grew up, he would definitely be the most badass bug in the universe.

Because Ling Jiu had helped make up for what the Saiyan Golden Ape species lacked the most.

"Return to Atlantis, Leoux."

The improvement in strength gave Ling Jiu confidence. He decided to return to Atlantis and turn the table on the Kryptonians.

"No problem."

Leoux released the Leoux and then flew toward Whitehole 2.

"I have discovered another interesting arcana in the past few years, Ling Jiu. I think you will be interested," Leoux said all of a sudden.

"What arcana?"

Ling Jiu asked with interest. He knew how choosy Leoux was, and any arcana that could arouse Leoux's attention must be something interesting.

"Mind Manipulation," Leoux said. "I discovered this arcana by accident on a creature on Whitehole 4."

"Mind Manipulation?" Ling Jiu looked curious.

"Whitehole 4 was originally a world covered in ice. The temperature on it was extremely low; few lives could survive there. But those lives that survived shared common thoughts. This surprised me, and so I did some investigation," Leoux said. "I found that all life on this planet is under the control of one being."

"There is such a being?" Ling Jiu was surprised. He had heard of one being controlling one or two others. But controlling everyone on a planet was just too incredible.

"That's right," Leoux said in awe. "The soul of that being is powerful. It extends its spiritual tentacles to control life on this planet at the same time. The life that it controls lives like a puppet. They just do whatever that being wills."

"That's a powerful mental-type arcana." Ling Jiu's eyes flashed with excitement. "Where is that guy? Have you caught it?"

"You bet." Leoux broke into a mysterious smile. "You will be surprised when you see it."

"Show me." Ling Jiu could not wait.

"You got it."

Leoux snapped its fingers, and a hole appeared in the ground with a black cage slowly emerging.

Ling Jiu saw something in that cage. It was a strange beast—maybe human, as it looked like a human—over 2,000 meters tall.

Massive body, knotty muscles, and an enormous head.

"A giant?" Ling Jiu was stunned.

Report chapter

Chapter 284: The New Queen, Exiling Ling Jiu

It looked exactly like a human being. Just that it was over 2,000 meters.

There was no doubt that this was a giant. But Ling Jiu did not know what species it was.

"What species is it, Leoux?" Ling Jiu was curious.

"I don't know yet. There is no information about it in the Leoux's database," Leoux said. "But I know why its soul is so powerful."

"Why?"

"Because it has an Evogod soul," Leoux said.

"The Evogod?"

Ling Jiu was taken aback and looked at the giant in disbelief. "How could he possibly be an Evogod? Isn't he a giant?"

"I told you before," Leoux said. "The Evogods are just pure soul beings. Without a physical body, they can seize the bodies of various physical beings. They can even control spaceships and machines. So they can appear in various physical forms."

"You mean the soul of this giant is of an Evogod; an Evogod has taken over the giant's body?" Ling Jiu finally put two and two together.

"Exactly." Leoux had confirmed Ling Jiu's understanding. "The soul of this giant is indeed an Evogod, and this soul is powerful."

"This soul is comparable to a super-clustered being, which means his Eight Methods of Black Hole Evolution has at least reached the second stage."

"The second stage of the Eight Methods of Black Hole Evolution?" Envy filled Ling Jiu's eyes.

He had successfully set up a Soul Collecting Array, but it required too much dark psionic energy to form the soul nebula.

Even though he had practiced near the white hole for nearly 20 years, the soul nebula still had not reached the point where it could form soul stars.

He still had a long way to go.

"You don't want to miss this opportunity, Ling Jiu," Leoux said.

"This Evogod is so powerful. You can crush and convert its soul into the purest dark psionic energy, and then inhale it into the sea of consciousness to strengthen your soul nebula."

"Right." Ling Jiu repeatedly nodded. "But its soul is too powerful for me. I am worried my Inner World can't digest it."

He would be foolish if he thought he could digest the soul of an Evogod with his Inner World.

"I can help you with this," Leoux said. "I can help you annihilate its soul and break it into soul fragments, and then you can digest it."

Ling Jiu nodded repeatedly. It was hard to digest a soul in whole, but once broken into fragments, he believed his Inner World could easily absorb it.

"Replicate its Mind Manipulation first, then I will handle the rest," Leoux said.

Ling Jiu did not hesitate but replicated Mind Manipulation at once. After some study, Ling Jiu found that this powerful Mind Manipulation could completely control the soul of living beings and deprive the soul of control over the body.

He could feel that with the current strength of his soul, he could have absolute control over the souls of stellar beings using this Mind Manipulation.

Not even apex stellar beings could escape his Mind Manipulation.

"What a great arcana!"

Following that, he returned to Europa.

Because of the different flow of time, only three months had passed on Earth and Europa after spending ten years near the white hole.

Three months was neither too long nor too short, but the changes on Europa still came as a surprise to Ling Jiu.

The changes came from the Merpeople, to be exact.

While Ling Jiu was away, the Merpeople elders had launched a coup, imprisoned the Merqueen, and installed a new one.

Ling Jiu had long expected this. He knew very well that the elders of the Merpeople would not give up so easily.

Just that he did not expect these elders were disregarding his existence and launched the coup d'état under his nose. Were they not afraid of his revenge?

With this question in mind, Ling Jiu killed his way into the imperial city and found the new Merqueen.

This new Merqueen was no less attractive than the former one. Just that she was not as powerful as the one before her.

She was only a Level-1 stellar being.

Right now, the new Merqueen was practicing self-cultivation in the imperial city. She did not even notice Ling Jiu's presence when he came near to her.

He hemmed all of a sudden.

"Who is it?"

The new Merqueen was woken out of her self-cultivation and stared at him. "Who are you?"

"You don't have to know who I am," Ling Jiu said in a nonchalant voice. "Let me ask you, where is the Merqueen? Where have those old fags taken her to?"

The new Merqueen's face changed, as if she had thought of something. "You are the devil who killed Elder Swordfish and Elder Tigershark?"

"It looks like you are not entirely ignorant." Ling Jiu teased. "Now can you tell me where the Merqueen is?"

The new Merqueen did not answer, but pressed a mechanism. A stone door appeared behind her with a click.

She got in and disappeared into the stone door.

"Run?"

Ling Jiu raised an eyebrow. He moved in a flash to come in front of the stone door, and then pursued the new Merqueen into the stone door and came to a flight of stairs.

The steps meandered down, and Ling Jiu did not know where they would lead to. But when he followed the steps and reached the bottom, what he saw stunned him.

A huge underground palace, the walls, and floors of which were made of some special materials, appeared in front of his eye.

There were dozens of statues in here.

Some of these statues were 10 yards tall, some only one or two yards. They were of different sizes, but all were of the Merpeople, without exception.

He glanced at these statues but was not interested in them as a colorful sphere suspended in mid-air had attracted his attention.

The sphere exuded colorful light, apparently a wormhole.

"I didn't know there was a wormhole hidden under the Merpeople's Imperial City. What a surprise," Ling Jiu said to himself as he looked at the wormhole.

The new Merqueen came in front of the wormhole and then jumped right into it with no hesitation.

Ling Jiu did not stop her. He followed her and also entered the wormhole. He was a daredevil who feared nothing.

But unknown to him, shortly after he entered the wormhole, a group of people appeared in the underground palace.

There were the elders of the Merpeople.

"That darn idiot took the bait." An elder looked at the wormhole and broke into laughter.

"On the other side of this sea cave is an extremely dangerous world, where even galactic beings would have no escape and get killed."

"How dare he enslave our Merqueen and kill our elders? He is absolutely heinous and deserving to be exiled to an alien world."

"You are right. If it weren't for the gap in strength, I would have ripped him into pieces to relieve the hatred in me."

"Come on. Let's cut the crap and destroy this wormhole, lest that devil return and ruin everything."

The other elders of the Merpeople came to their senses as an elder urged. They immediately launched an attack on the wormhole.

Wormholes are a very special thing. Some wormholes are extremely stable while some are relatively fragile.

The wormhole in front of them was a relatively fragile one. It vanished under the attack of the elders of the Merpeople.

Chapter 285: Horror World, Giant Fire Dragon

Ling Jiu found himself in a new world after going through the wormhole.

There was a thick layer of fallen leaves and dead branches under his feet. Dense weeds, shrubs, and towering trees hundreds of meters tall were everywhere. There was a smell of decay and high humidity in the air, which was apparently common in a forest.

Plus, it was an extremely lush virgin forest.

The new Merqueen, who had just gone through the wormhole ahead of him, was nowhere to be seen. But it did not bother him. She would not escape from him as long as she was on this planet.

Ling Jiu was elated when he saw the surrounding forest. It was another habitable planet, which was undoubtedly a boon for the people on Earth.

"Check out the basic parameters of this planet, Leoux."

"Okay." Leoux nodded and came back in no time. "You may not believe this, Ling Jiu."

There was a hint of shock in Leoux's voice. "The atmosphere of this planet differs from that of Earth. Oxygen is as high as thirty-three percent, nitrogen only twenty-five percent, Gene Arcana as high as forty percent, and other gases less than two percent."

"What did you say? Gene Arcana is forty percent?"

Ling Jiu's heart skipped a beat, disbelief filling his eyes. The concentration of Gene Arcana on Earth was only 0.008%, but on this planet, it was 40%. The difference was huge—it was over 5,000 times.

"Doesn't it mean that this planet has an army of powerful beings on this planet given such a high concentration of Gene Arcana?" Ling Jiu said.

"Yup, and they are ridiculously powerful." Leoux nodded. "Two percent of the living beings on his planet are stellar beings."

"What?"

Ling Jiu was shocked again.

When they talked about stellar beings in the past, it was only about a few to a few hundred. But now it was 2%, which was ridiculously high.

"How many stellar beings are there on this planet, Leoux? I want to know the exact figure," Ling Jiu said.

"It is beyond your imagination," Leoux said. "According to the information I just got, there are ten billion living beings on this planet. Now you can calculate the number of stellar beings on this planet."

"Ten billion?" Ling Jiu murmured. 2% of 10 billion is 200 million. In other words, there are 200 million stellar beings on this planet?

Are you kidding me?

While Ling Jiu was still in shock, an angry roar came from a distance. It sounded like a clap of thunder in the sky.

Immediately after, a terrifying force of coercion rose and swept through the place.

"What is going on?" Ling Jiu frowned.

"Take a look and you will know it," Leoux said.

"Okay."

Ling Jiu nodded, then locked on the direction from which the coercive force came and teleported there. When he arrived, he saw something astonishing.

A giant beast over 2,500 meters long, with red scales all over its body, was in the sky. It looked very much like the giant dragon in Western mythology.

Not only that, it was a fire dragon.

Hovering in the air opposite the fire dragon was an elderly blond in a black robe. He carried a giant sword on his back. A human and a dragon were facing off each other.

The fire dragon stared dead at the elderly blond and roaring. It seemed to be speaking some strange language that Ling Jiu had no idea of. "Can you understand what they are talking about? Can you interpret for me?"

"No problem."

Leoux nodded and then started interpreting: The fire dragon was the king of this forest.

The elderly blond was a human, a powerful cultivator. He came to borrow some dragon blood from the fire dragon, but the fire dragon categorically refused.

The negotiations broke down, and a fight broke out between the two.

The elderly blond was much smaller than the fire dragon, but he was no less powerful than the fire dragon in the aura. In fact, he was slightly more powerful than the fire dragon.

As the fight unfolded, the elderly blond moved around the fire dragon like a flash of lightning, constantly punching the fire dragon with his fists.

As huge as the fire dragon was, it was much slower than the elderly blond. That was the reason it was helpless against the elderly blond.

The fire dragon roared in anger after getting punched hundreds of times in succession.

"You have pissed me off, human!"

As the fire dragon roared, a terrifying fire burst out of its body and spread out in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, the fire burned everything within a radius of tens of kilometers in the surroundings at extreme temperature

The result of this was, the forest below became the hardest hit. The forest within a radius of tens of kilometers ignited at once into a raging sea of fire and turned into ashes in just a moment.

The elderly blond's face changed after seeing this. He kept retreating until he was outside the sea of fire.

"This lunatic!"

Did the fire dragon have to go mad like this just because of a few drops of dragon blood? The Dragons are a bunch of idiots. The elderly blond quietly cursed.

As frustrated as he was, he knew that there was no point to continue the fight, as he was not sure if he could kill this fire dragon.

So it was time to leave.

With this thought in mind, the elderly blond gave up the fight. His body faded into a stream of light as he left the forest.

The fire dragon watched the elder blond leaving, feeling indignant, knowing that it could not stop him.

"The living beings in this world are really powerful."

Ling Jiu could not help marveling. "I already came across two stellar beings as soon as I stepped foot on this planet."

"What is your plan, Ling Jiu?" Leoux asked.

"This world is more dangerous than I have imagined. I need to check out the situation here before deciding on anything."

After the elderly blond left, the fire dragon was turning around, wanting to return to its lair and take a nap. Just then, Ling Jiu hurled toward it. The fire dragon spotted him at once, and a powerful aura burst out of it.

"This is the territory of the great fire dragon Esbiak. Leave immediately. You are not welcome here, human!"

"Esbiak? I will remember your name."

Ling Jiu nodded, and then two rays of silverish light shot out from his eyes and hit the fire dragon in the head. This move was none other than Mental Attack.

The fire dragon Esbiak did not see it coming and got hit the hell out of it. It screamed from agonizing pain while its massive body plunged and hit the ground with a loud rumbling sound.

Ling Jiu came in front of the fire dragon. "I will leave this thing to you, Leoux. I want to know everything about this world in ten minutes."

"You got it."

Chapter 286: Auguland, the World of Many Gods

Leoux had read the memory of the fire dragon, Esbiak and learned everything about this world in just a short time.

This planet was called Auguland, which was a bit like the fantasy world in Western fantasy novels.

Humans, Dragons, Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, Demi Orcs, and of course, Warcraft were living on Auguland.

Also, Auguland was a world of many gods.

According to the fire dragon Esbiak's memories, the gods were the ones controlling the land, and each god had its territory of faith.

These gods were often at war with each other over their faiths. After thousands of years of rivalry, various forces had divided Auguland.

Up to now, there were four major empires, three major forces, and two major alliances on Auguland.

The four empires were Templar of War that ruled the Warring Empire, the Light Curia that ruled the Light Empire, and Douglas College that ruled the Warcraft Empire.

The three major forces were: the Dragons that occupied Dragon Island, the Elves that lived in Elf Forest, and the Dwarf that lurked in Sunset Mountains.

The two major alliances were: the Fiend Alliance that controlled Chaos Peak, and the Darkness Curia that controlled the Darkness Alliance.

This was the balance of powers.

"That's a mess." Ling Jiu shook his head slightly. "Leoux, where are the stellar beings in this world, in terms of level?"

"This world divides the strength of their beings from low to high into the Mortal, Sacred, True God, and Prime God," Leoux said. "Mortals are divided into Level 1 to Level 9; After Level 9 is the Sacred classification, and the stellar beings here are Sacred."

"In other words, galactic beings are the True Gods?" Ling Jiu frowned. He could only be regarded as a Sacred, and the Saiyan Golden Ape avatar only a True God. That did not look good on them.

"Exactly. Stellar beings in this world can only be regarded as the Sacred." Leoux nodded. "Galactic beings are the True Gods. But only the higher-level super-clustered beings are considered the Prime God."

"How many True Gods and Prime Gods are there in Auguland?" Ling Jiu asked another question of concern.

"Auguland is a world of the gods," Leoux explained. "There are thousands of True Gods, large and small. Some are True Gods of prosaic cultivation, and some gods have formed alliances and built the pantheons. The essence of the pantheon is like the one on Earth. In Auguland, there are dozens of large and small pantheons, among which there are four most powerful pantheons: the Pantheon of War, the Pantheon of Light, the Pantheon of Magic, and the Pantheon of Warcraft. The second-ranked ones are the Elven Pantheon, Darkness Pantheon, Dragon Pantheon, and d System, the Dark God System, the Dragon God System, and the Fiend Pantheon. The lords of these eight pantheons are the Prime Gods, who are all super-clustered beings."

"In other words, there are eight super-clustered beings in Auguland?" Ling Jiu frowned. The world with super-clustered beings was undoubtedly a dangerous world.

At least there were beings that could threaten his life.

He could not be more careful.

"Over eight." Leoux shook his head. "There are only eight Prime Gods, but I have detected eleven super-clustered beings. In other words, there are still three unknown super-clustered beings in Auguland. They may be well known, but they are not the Prime Gods."

Ling Jiu nodded slightly. "If that's the case, I have to be careful."

"Suit yourself." Leoux was not worried. Super-clustered beings could still not pose a threat to it. "By the way, I also found a very interesting thing on this planet."

"What is that?"

"Except for the wormhole leading to Europa, I didn't find any other wormholes or dimensional rifts on this planet," Leoux said.

"And then?" Ling Jiu frowned.

"There are no wormholes and dimensional rifts. But the concentration of Gene Arcana on this planet is extraordinary—5,000 times that on Earth." Leoux looked at Ling Jiu. "Don't you think this is strange? As you know, there are so many wormholes and dimensional rifts on the earth, yet the Gene Arcana concentration is only one-five thousandths of this planet."

Ling Jiu immediately furrowed his brow. "By the sound of it, the Gene Arcana concentration on this planet is indeed outrageously high. What is causing this? Could it be that this planet is near the white hole? Or is there some peculiar plant that produces Gene Arcana like the arcana tree?"

"That is not clear yet." Leoux shook its head. "At least, based on the information I have so far, I still can't find the reason for the high concentration of Gene Arcana on this planet."

"Then keep findings," Ling Jiu said. "The Gene Arcana on a planet cannot be so high for no reason. There has to be something more to it."

Just when Ling Jiu rose into the air and was about to leave the forest, a series of hurried footsteps came from a distance.

Ling Jiu raised his eyebrows slightly and looked over, seeing several people approaching.

At the front was a girl with red lips and red armor that only covered the key areas of her body.

She was pretty, well-endowed, with long straight legs, long golden hair that cascaded like a waterfall. She was a heroic female warrior.

The girl with red lips looked astonished when she saw Ling Jiu hovering proudly in mid-air.

"Slow down, watch out for the Warcraft!"

It was a group of burly guards in armor. As they hurried up and saw Ling Jiu, their expressions dramatically changed.

Hovering in the air was the symbol of the Sacred.

The red-lipped girl came to her senses and quickly got down on one knee in respect. "I, Delia Mansfield, am honored to meet Your Excellency, the Sacred."

The Sacred?

Ling Jiu cocked an eyebrow. Did she just treat him as the Sacred of this world?

"Your Excellency!" Those guards also hurriedly got down to their knees.

"Rise." Ling Jiu waved his hand. He could feel the energy of these people. They were mostly Level-5 and -6 arcanists. The girl with red lips was the most powerful, but still barely a Level-7 arcanist.

Such a level of strength was insignificant on Earth, let alone in this world.

"Thank you, Your Excellency."

Delia and her guards got up and looked at Ling Jiu with awe.

With the exception of the gods, the Sacreds were the most powerful beings in this world.

However, the Sacreds were elusive, and such people could not easily meet them.

An energy perturbation had attracted them here. They thought it was a melee among the Warcraft. They did not expect to see the Sacred, which was something incredible to them.

Ling Jiu had nothing to say to them. Just as he thought of leaving, Leoux spoke.

"Take a closer look at this girl, Ling Jiu."

"Why?" Ling Jiu looked at the girl named Delia spontaneously. She was pretty, but not as pretty as Baiya.

"She exudes a strange vital energy," Leoux said. "That vital energy reminds me of a type of being. If it is really those beings, maybe it will explain the high concentration of Gene Arcana on this planet."

"What beings are you talking about?" Ling Jiu was none the wiser.

"You will know when I find out."

Leoux let things hang. Ling Jiu rolled his eyes and decided not to leave just yet. He looked at Delia and the others.

"Why are all of you here?"

Report chapter

Chapter 287: The Nine-Tails, Cheating and Swindling

"Why are all of you here?"

Hearing Ling Jiu's question, Delia did not dare to dither and respectfully replied.

"Sir, we came to the Meteorite Forest to look for the Soulweed to treat my father's illness. But we heard movement here so we rushed over…"

Ling Jiu nodded slightly and asked, "Leoux, what's a Soulweed?"

"According to the fire dragon, Esbiak's memory, it's a plant that can nourish the soul and repair the wounds of a soul," Leoux replied.

"Oh, I see!"

Ling Jiu nodded and looked at Delia as he said. "Your father suffered a soul wound?"

"Sir, you are sharp."

Delia confirmed Ling Jiu's guess.

"Have you found the Soulweed?" Ling Jiu asked again.

Delia shook her head in sorrow. "The Soulweed is a legendary herb. We've been searching for half a month in the Meteorite Forest without any luck."

"You don't need to look for it. I can treat your father's injury."

Ling Jiu said faintly. He of course could not heal wounds of the soul, but Leoux can, and it could even reshape the soul if needed.

Delia's body trembled as she suddenly knelt down and pleaded.

"Sir, please save my father. Delia will be willing to serve you to repay your kindness. This I swear in the name of the God of Light!"

"You're quite the filial one."

Ling Jiu nodded. "Lead the way."

"Thank you, sir!"

Delia was overjoyed. She would not doubt Ling Jiu's words at all.

First was the gap of strength between the two that Ling Jiu had no reason to deceive her.

Secondly, Ling Jiu was a Sacred proper, was there something a Sacred could not do?"

Under Delia's lead, the group quickly exited the Meteorite Forest and came to the city of Mansfield by the edge of the forest.

Along the way, Ling Jiu also learned about Delia's identity.

Her father was the lord of Mansfield, which was located in the Empire of Light. However, it lay on the imperial border and was a small border city.

According to Delia, her family had a long history.

They were originally a renowned Nine-tailed clan, with many Nine-tailed family warriors born to the clan. Yet, with the passing of time, the Nine-tailed bloodline withered, and no more Nine-tailed warriors were born.

Then, the clan gradually declined as a result, and finally ended up at the border of the Empire of Light, trapped inside the small city of Mansfield.

After a day's travel, they soon arrived at Mansfield.

The size of the city here was not comparable to Earth. If one was generous, it was a city, if one was not, it was a border town. The city stood a few feet high as it was built on the half-mountain.

After entering Mansfield and coming to the lord's manor, Ling Jiu saw the city's lord who had been in a coma for nearly a month.

Armando Mansfield.

Amandar's face was sallow, and his brows were furrowed. There was black air at the center of his brows, lingering and refusing to disperse.

"Sir, please save my father!"

Delia once again knelt before Ling Jiu and sobbed.

"Get up."

Leoux waved his hand and said, "Leoux, it's up to you now."

"This person's soul is badly wounded. It should've caused by a spiritual attack like a curse, but this is trivial," Leoux casually said.

Vlack light shot out of Ling Jiu's hand and wrapped around the terminally ill Armando.

As the black light entered his body, the black air on Amandar's face was like snow meeting warm water, and gradually dissipated before disappearing altogether.

Armando's even face gradually turned redder, almost like a normal person.

"Alright, the curse has been lifted, and I've also mended his damaged soul, and returning it to its peak." Leoux smiled.

"Thanks!"

Ling Jiu said.

"Moreover, I also found a very interesting thing!"

Leoux said, "I told you before, there is a strange life fluctuation in Delia, right?"

"Yeah!"

Ling Jiu nodded: "What's about it?"

"This person named Amandar also has that strange life fluctuation, and it's even more intense than Delia's."

Leoux added, "Now I'm more and more certain that that life exists, or had appeared on this planet before!"

"What sort of life are you talking about?"

Ling Jiu got even more curious.

"A secret!"

Leoux played coy again.

"Blah."

Ling Jiu snorted softly and was a little dissatisfied with Leoux playing coy.

At this moment, Amandar woke up, upon seeing this Delia pounced at him excitedly before breaking into tears.

The times when her father was unconscious had given this young woman unimaginable stress. She had to calm the people down, and also dance around with the ambitious major houses in the city. This left her exhausted, and now that her father had woken up, the storm had finally cleared.

"My girl, don't cry."

Armando patted his daughter's shoulder, and Delia calmed down as he laughing apologetically at Ling Jiu. "Sir, that must have been awkward to witness."

"Eh, human nature."

Ling Jiu waved his hand.

"Father, let me introduce you," Delia hurriedly said.

"This is the person who saved you."

In order to express his gratitude for Ling Jiu's life-saving grace and show that the lord of the city was fully healed, the lord's manor held a banquet and invited many of the city's prominent figures.

There were high-level dignitaries there, and also the patriarchs of the major families.

As a Sacred, Ling Jiu naturally took the main seat, accepting Armando's gratitude and toasts from the many prominent people.

"Lord Priest Kells is here."

"Patriarch Holdan is here."

At this moment, two loud voices sounded as a middle-aged fat man with a pot-belly, and an old man in a priest's robe walked in.

Lord Armando hurriedly greeted them. "Welcome Priest Kells, and Patriarch Holdan. For you to come from afar, please let me extend my apologies."

"Hahaha, the city's lord recovery is a happy event of Mansfield, it is only right that we come to congratulate you."

The pot-bellied Patriarch Holdan smiled.

"My lord, congratulations on your recovery."

Priest Kells said with a smile.

"It is all the God of Light's blessing."

Armando smiled and motioned for the two to take their seats. The two came before Ling Jiu as Patriarch Holdan pointed at Ling Jiu. "My lord, is this the Sacred that had healed you?"

"Yes!"

Amandar nodded slightly.

"Ah, a Sacred, I need to pay my respects then."

Patriarch Holdan bowed a little in Ling Jiu's direction. "Thank you, sir, for saving milord. Mansfield is forever grateful."

"You're welcome."

Ling Jiu took a sip of wine.

"Sir, forgive me for my poor eyes, but I didn't recognize you. Can you tell me your name, so I may remember it?" Patriarch Holdan suddenly said.

"You want to know my name?"

Ling Jiu glanced at him and shook his head. "You, are not worthy."

Patriarch Holdan's eyelids twitched, but he was wary of making a scene due to the presence of a Sacred.

At this moment, Priest Kells suddenly said, "All of the Sacreds of Auguland are renowned existences, and I know every one of them. So why have I not seen you before, sir?"

"You mean to say, I'm a fake?" Ling Jiu cocked an eyebrow and smirked.

Hearing this, Delia's expression changed a little, and just as she was about to interject, she heard Patriarch Holdan speak with a fake smile.

"Which of the Sacreds are not high and mighty existences, why would one come to the border town of the empire?

"Moreover, there are plenty of cheating and swindling wandering magicians these days…"

Chapter 288: The Light Curia, Slapped to Death

Hearing Patriarch Holdan's words, everyone in the hall started whispering to each other.

"Holdan is right. In Auguland, how can an existence such as a Sacred appear in a godforsaken place like Mansfield?"

"I know right! I've never seen a Sacred in all my life. This person may have used a few magic tricks to decided Milord!"

"It makes sense…"

As Delia heard everyone's discussion, she could no longer sit still. She stood up and glared angrily Patriarch Holdan. "Patriarch Holdan, I personally invited Lord Sacred here. How could he be a fake? You should hold your tongue and not slander Lord Sacred!"

"Ms. Delia, you are still young and easily deceived."

Patriarch Holdan smiled slightly. "Priest Kells had the honor of going to the Curia's headquarters to study, and he personally checked the background information of all of the Sacreds in Auguland. He is arguably the best person with the most say in Mansfield."

Having said that, he turned around and looked at Priest Kells with a smile. "Your Grace, have you seen… this Sacred before?"

"The Sacreds are all amazing, talented people!"

Priest Kells stared at Ling Jiu, saying. "Even if one were to become a Sacred, they would be old folks."

"The youngest Sacred of Auguland was the Boulder Blade Saint Saunders who was born 100 years ago, and he was already 51 when he became a Sacred.

"Please forgive me for my bad eyes, but I really cannot think of when did a young Sacred such as your Excellency had appeared in Auguland."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes immediately focused on Ling Jiu, Priest Kells' words made sense.

Although the Sacreds were long-lived, how they looked when they became one, would be how they looked like forever. There was no possibility of them rejuvenating and becoming younger again.

Ling Jiu was just too young, no different from a young man in his twenties. Could it be that he had become a Sacred in his twenties?

You had to be joking!

If he did exist, he would have been famous across Auguland. How could he remain unknown?

"Lord Sacred, what else do you want to say?"

Patriarch Holdan looked at Ling Jiu.

If he had previously called Ling Jiu "Lord Sacred" in a respectful tone, this time, his tone was filled with sarcasm.

"You're questioning me? Who do you think you are?"

Ling Jiu raised his eyes and glanced at him.

"Insolence!"

Patriarch Holdan was furious. "Come, men! Drag this swindling street rat out and beat him to death with sticks!"

"Yes, sir!"

The moment Patriarch Holdan gave the order, a group of guards rushed in.

They all wore uniforms with the Holdan family crest on them. Each of them held a broadsword, and they were menacing as they surrounded Ling Jiu in an instant.

"Take him!"

The leading guard captain waved his hand and a group of guards that had surrounded him pounced. Delia tried to stop them but it was already too late.

Ling Jiu glanced at the guards, saying "Get lost!"

Bam!!

A terrifying aura erupted from Ling Jiu and spread out instantly like a nuclear bomb that had suddenly detonated.

The moment all of the guards who rushed forward came into contact with that aura, they spat out blood as if they had been run over by a speeding train. A series of loud cracks rang out across their body as all of them flew away.

Krakk!!

Dushhh!

In the end, all of them slammed heavily onto the ground as the guests looked on in horror.

Everyone looked over in horror as all of the guards had their bones shattered as they lay dead like a puddle of mud, without any trace of life.

The hall suddenly fell into dead silence.

Everyone looked at the dead guards, and then at Ling Jiu who was still sitting nonchalantly at the main seat supping his wine before gulping.

Killing so many guards by just releasing his aura… What sort of strength is that?

One needed to know that these Holdan guards were all Level 6 warriors who could rip a Level 6 magic beast apart with their bare-hands and smash rocks with a single punch!

That strength of his, if he was no Sacred, he was at the very least a Level 9 warrior?

Patriarch Holdan also realized this fact as his eyes looked at Ling Jiu with suddenly had a tinge of fear in it.

In desperation, he suddenly bowed to Ling Jiu as he kowtowed repeatedly and slapped his fat face.

"I was blind! I was blind! Please forgive me, sir! Please spare me!"

Everyone did not say a word. They dared not say a word.

Ling Jiu slowly drank a glass of wine, and did not look at Patriarch Holdan as he raised his right hand slightly and as if fanning a mosquito. "You may leave."

Baaam!!

Ling Jiu's action seemed casual, yet Patriarch Holdan shot out like a cannonball as he suddenly rose off the ground in an instant and flew out.

He then disappeared into the horizon as no one knew where he flew off to.

"He sent Patriarch Holdan flying with just a wave of his hand?"

"Terrifying! Just terrifying!"

"Patriarch Holdan is a Level 7 warrior!"

"This is definitely something only a Sacred can do."

Everyone looked at Ling Jiu with apprehension, without the ease and calmness they had before. They had been skeptical about whether Ling Jiu was a Sacred or not earlier.

But now… no one dared to question it anymore!

Moreover, they dared not question it at all!

"Now there's only you left."

Ling Jiu's gaze suddenly fell on Priest Kells, and that caused the latter to feel blades running down his back as the latter forced out an awkward smile.

"My eyes were wrong, Lord Sacred, please forgive me."

Although Priest Kells was shocked by Ling Jiu's strength, he did not think that Ling Jiu would do anything to him. After all, he was a member of the Light Curia.

The Light Curia was one of the top factions of Auguland, and was the master of the Empire of Light, even a Sacred would dare not be an enemy of the Light Curia.

For this alone, Priest Kells was confident that Ling Jiu dared not touch him. Everyone too had the same thought, although Priest Kells' position in the Curia was not high, as he was after all still a clergyman of the Curia."

Kill him?

That means going against the Light Curia.

As long as Ling Jiu was not stupid, he would not do anything that stupid.

However, the development of things often exceeded everyone's expectations as Ling Jiu looked at Priest Kells and smiled faintly. "So, do you want to live or die?"

Priest Kells heart skipped a beat as he forced a smile. "What do you mean, sir?"

"If you want to live, kneel, and crawl your way to me, perhaps I can spare your worthless life." Ling Jiu said faintly.

"Sir, this is too much!"

Priest Kells' expression changed drastically as he angrily said, "I am a mid-level clergyman of the Light Curia, for you to humiliate me like this, do you want to make an enemy out of the Curia?"

"The Light Curia? The hell is that?"

"Ling Jiu softly said, "Do you think that pulling out the banner of the Curia means you can avoid death? Ridiculous."

"Sir, you really want to make an enemy out of the Curia?"

Priest Kells had a very uncomfortable expression.

"Die!"

Ling Jiu snorted and slammed his palm down.

Krak!!

Before everyone, Priest Kells was smashed into a paste. He did not even have a chance to scream.

Then there was silence.

The entire place was so silent that even a pinfall could be heard.

Report chapter

Chapter 289: Ripened Fruit, Two Sacreds

"He… He actually killed Priest Kells!"

All of the guests were horrified, and they knew that the matter had just gotten very serious.

Although Priest Kells was just a Mid-level clergyman, he was still a member of the Light Curia. In the Empire of Light, the clergymen represented the Curia.

To kill them meant going against the Light Curia and provoking them…

"The Light Curia will never let this slide!"

"Even if he is a Sacred, the Curia will not let him go."

"No, I don't want to be near him any longer. If the Light Curia mistakes me for an accomplice, things will get really serious."

"Right, right! Let's leave now, quickly…"

In an instant, many of the guests got up and bade goodbye to the city lord. "Milord, I have something on at my abode, I'll leave first."

"Milord, my mother is about to give birth, and I need to take care of her. I shall take my leave first, please excuse me."

"Milord…"

In the blink of an eye, all of the guests left. They looked at Ling Jiu as if he was plague incarnate, for fear that they would catch the plague if they linger around him any longer.

Delia and Armando looked at the hall that had still been abuzz a moment earlier before it became empty in the blink of an eye. They looked at each other and felt speechless.

"Why aren't you two leaving yet?"

Ling Jiu raised his glass and asked casually.

"You saved my life, Sir. Your life-saving grace is greater than anything!"

Armando sternly said, "How could I stand aside to avoid suspicion while you get into trouble?"

Delia said nothing but nodded vigorously.

"A good man who knows gratitude."

Ling Jiu smiled slightly and was about to compliment Armando when Sapling Ling's voice suddenly rang out in his head.

"Bro, my fruit has ripened."

"Hmmm?"

Ling Jiu said softly as his mind entered the floating island.

At the center of the vast floating continent stood a towering tree that pierced the sky. It was the Sacred Casmodor Tree, Sapling Ling.

Over the years, with nourishment from the island, Sapling Ling had finally entered adulthood. At the same time, it had finally produced the first batch of fruits.

The Sacred Casmodor Tree!

Just as 9527 had said, growing on a planet with abundant resources, the Sacred Casmodor Tree could mature and bear fruit within a few years.

If it were to grow in a resource-poor environment, their growth rate will be very slow, and it would be difficult for them to grow even after thousands of years.

There was no need to say anything more about the environment of the floating island, more so the abundance of Dark Bio-energy there. So, Sapling Ling… had matured, and also bear fruit.

Ling Jiu came before Sapling Ling and noticed that its canopy was densely packed with black fruits that looked like durians.

At a rough glance, there were hundreds of them!

"Sapling Ling, these are the fruits you bear?" Ling Jiu looked at each fruit.

He could feel the surging Dark Bio-energy and life energy contained in these fruits, much greater than a stellar lifeform.

"Yes, bro!"

Sapling Ling smiled happily. "This is the first batch of Casmodor fruits I bore. A single one is enough to turn you, Earthlings, into a stellar lifeform."

Sapling Ling heaved a sigh of relief. It had been freeloading with Ling Jiu over the years.

To be honest, even it felt a little embarrassed and afraid that it would be cast away by Ling Jiu for being too useless. That would be too tragic because it never wanted to leave this floating island, this blessed paradise.

It was all good now.

After bearing so many Casmodor fruits in a single go, it should be able to help bro right?

"That amazing?"

Ling Jiu was skeptical.

"Bro, just try it and you'll find out!"

Sapling Ling was very confident in its own fruit. It remembered witnessing with its own eyes that its mother had used the Casmodor fruit to feed the Direbeasts on Casmodor, helping those Direbeasts to become stellar lifeforms.

In contrast, its growth environment was better, and its fruit quality was better as well, there was no reason its fruit would be worse than its mother.

"Let's give it a try then."

Ling Jiu casually plucked two fruits and brought them to the outside world. Then he handed them to Armando and Delia. "Eat them."

"Sir, what is this?"

Armando and Delia looked at the magical fruit in Ling Jiu's hand with puzzlement in their eyes.

"You'll find out once you eat them."

Ling Jiu smiled.

The father and daughter looked at each other before eating the fruit without any hesitation.

After consuming the fruit, the aura inside their body surged like a rocket, and it was an ascension that could not be suppressed.

Level 8…

Level 9…

Level 10.

In just a few breath's time, the auras of the father and daughter broke through the limit and reached a whole new level.

Right then, the father and daughter floated uncontrollably as their entire body suddenly burst into a bright scarlet light, much like a coat of flames as it rose above their heads and formed a massive behemoth phantom.

It looked like a giant snake, but with nine tails, a red body, and a single horn on its head…

It was a Nine-tailed snake!

Baaam!!

The moment the Nine-tailed snake appeared, a suffocating aura radiated out from the father-daughter pair. Even though Ling Jiu's cultivation was high, he still felt a little discomfort.

"This behemoth…"

Ling Jiu squinted and stared intently at the Nine-tailed snakes above the father and daughter's heads.

"Hahaha, as I expected."

Leoux's voice rang out in Ling Jiu's mind. "You giving them the Casmodor fruit helped them to break through to a stellar lifeform, and the Nine-tailed snake bloodline hidden in their body was awakened. This father-daughter pair is going to soar from now on."

"A nine-tailed snake?"

Ling Jiu frowned slightly. "Leoux, the red giant snakes above Armando and Delia is called the Nine-tailed Snake?"

"Yes, the Nine-tailed Snake."

Leoux confirmed Ling Jiu's words. "The Nine-tailed Snakes are a very terrifying creature!"

"A young Nine-tailed Snake is a galactic lifeform, and an adult Nine-tailed Snake is comparable to a universal lifeform. If the Nine-tailed Snake is lucky enough to transform into a dragon, its power will skyrocket, and it will become a true apex lifeform."

"That powerful!"

Ling Jiu gasped.

A galactic lifeform when still juvenile.

This starting point was even more terrible than the Flame Astral Behemoth or the Golden Saiyan Apes.

"I don't know why this father and daughter pair has the blood of the Nine-tailed Snake. Perhaps they are its descendants, or there may be other reasons," Leoux said.

"But no matter what, that's enough to explain the Nine-tailed Snake's presence on this planet before."

"The Nine-tailed Snake, huh."

"Heh, if the Nine-tailed Snake had really passed by here before, that would explain why the Gene Arcana on his planet is so rich."

Ling Jiu nodded silently.

"Ling Jiu, raise this father and daughter pair well."

Leoux continued, "They have the blood of the Nine-tailed Snake, and as long as they continue to purify their bodies, their strength can be greatly improved in a short period of time."

"When they transform into true Nine-tailed Snakes in the future, you will have another two powerful companions beside you."

"If they can go through a further transformation and become a dragon, you will have truly strike the jackpot."

"Understood!"

Ling Jiu nodded. When he gave them the Casmodor fruit earlier, it was just to test the effect of the fruit.

Now, however, Ling Jiu was thinking about training both Armando and Delia. Both of them had good potential and were worth the effort in cultivating.

At that point, Armando and Delia had recovered from their shock.

They looked at each other, and at their feet of the ground as they stood in the air, and then at the aura around them, how could they not know what had happened.

It was precisely because they understood what had happened that they were stunned. A black fruit had allowed them to become Sacreds?

What kind of joke was this?

However, the father and daughter were also thoughtful people. After the brief shock, they immediately landed and turned to bow before Ling Jiu.

Report chapter

Chapter 290: Sanctioning Ling Jiu, the Battle Formation of Light

"Thank you for the great gift, Sir. We are willing to follow you and serve you to the end!"

The father and daughter were so touched that they immediately swore undivided loyalty to Ling Jiu as their master.

"Both of you are now Sacreds and are qualified to follow me," Ling Jiu said lightly.

"Very well, just follow me from now on then. "

"Thank you, Milord!"

The father and daughter were overjoyed, and at the same time were shocked by what Ling Jiu had said. Only having the right to follow him after becoming a Sacred, then how strong are you?

Although they were shocked and curious at the same time, since Ling Jiu did not say anything more, they also dared not ask more.

Ling Jiu motioned them to sit down and made some inquiries as he ate the side dishes.

"Tell me about your Nine-tailed clan."

"Yes, Milord!"

The Nine-tailed clan had suddenly appeared on Auguland 5,000 years ago, or rather, the first generation of Nine-tailed warriors had been born 5,000 years ago.

Alongside them were two other ultimate warriors, the Nine-headed warriors and the Nine-winged warriors.

As soon as the three ultimate warriors appeared, they displayed their unparalleled talents for cultivation. Not long after, they ran rampant across Auguland, becoming the top, unrivaled powerhouses of the realm.

After that, the three warriors created three ultimate warrior clans, the Nine-tailed clan, the Nine-headed clan, and the Nine-winged clan, becoming the most powerful forces of Auguland.

For thousands of years after, the three great clans waxed and waned, and until today, 5,000 years since, that they had completely declined.

The Nine-tailed clan fared a little better, as they still held land at the edge of the Empire of Light, and had a city under its name.

The other two warrior clans had completely disappeared from Auguland without a trace.

"The Nine-tailed clan!

"The Nine-headed clan!

"The Nine-winged clan!"

Ling Jiu casually sipped his tea and communicated with Leoux.

"Their sudden appearance on Auguland 5,000 years ago… Can that be understood as they arrived on the planet at that time?"

"Probably."

Leoux supported Ling Jiu's guess and continued, "If I'm not wrong, the Nine-tailed Snake would have appeared with the Nine-headed Snake and the Nine-winged Snake, the first generation of the ultimate warriors the father and daughter spoke about."

"Nine-headed Snake? Nine-winged Snake?" Ling Jiu raised his eyebrows. "Are they also powerful galactic lifeforms like the Nine-tailed Snake?"

"Yeah."

Leoux nodded slightly. "The Nine-tailed Snake, Nine-headed Snake, and the Nine-winged Snake would have appeared together because when these three beings unite, they can exert a force greater than the sum of their parts. So these three beings often form a group as companions."

Ling Jiu nodded, expressing his understanding.

"I wonder what happened to the three, did they leave Auguland or clash with the gods of the realm and get killed?" Leoux said.

"But it doesn't matter anymore. No matter how their end was, it is impossible for us to encounter them again."

"Yeah…"

"Where is Lord Armando?"

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly rang outside the hall. Ling Jiu frowned and looked over as a group of people had arrived outside without them knowing.

All of them were clad in golden armor and helmets, with golden broadswords in their hands. All of them radiated an aura of sacred light, they were Knights Templar of the Curia.

And surrounded by the knights was the head of the Curia's church in Mansfield, a white-robed priest named Ludwig Macmillan.

Seeing the group, how could Armando and Delia not understand the purpose of their arrival. The two stood before Ling Jiu and said to the members of the Light Curia.

"Priest Ludwig, what's your business here today?"

"Lord Armando, why ask when you already know?"

Priest Ludwig said coldly. "Someone killed Priest Kells, and this is a provocation against the Light Curia, how can I ignore it?"

"And what of it?"

Armando frowned.

"Daring to kill a member of the clergy is an affront to the Light Curia, a provocation to the great God of Light, a sinner, and a heretic!"

Ludwig's voice was cold. "Such a sinner should be put onto a torture rack and be judged and sanctioned by the Lord."

"Judged?"

Ling Jiu's voice rose, with a tinge of interest in his tone. "With that God of Light of yours, he won't be able to judge me."

"Insolence!" Ludwig yelled coldly.

"An evil heretic like you dares to besmirch our Lord's name even at the very end? Templars!"

"Here!"

With an order, all of the Knight Templars around him responded in unison as they drew their swords and surround Ling Jiu.

"Battle Formation of Light!" Ludwig shouted.

Buzz…

A milky white halo burst out from the templars, and the thick white light gathered at the top of their heads, and then combined into a white humanoid projection.

The projection was thoroughly white, with a pair of wings on its back and radiating a sacred aura, not unlike an angel. But this was not an angel, as its head was not a human's one, but a strange eagle head.

"Die!"

Ludwig shouted and the templars all raised their swords and then slashed down at Ling Jiu.

Instantly, the white eagle-headed projection above their heads also raised its sword and also slashed down at Ling Jiu.

Vooosh!

A milky white sword light slashed down and created a black dimensional rift in the void. The white light blade passed through the rift and instantly appeared before Ling Jiu.

The strength of the templars was generic, at about Level 7 or 8. However, the offensive power of their Battle Formation of Light had reached a Sacred's level, which was really incredible.

"Delia, protect our lord!" Armando yelled and drew his sword to block the attack, but Ling Jiu motioned for them to stand back.

"A group of Level 8s unleashing a stellar lifeform attack power, I have to say, this Battle Formation of Light is quite impressive."

As he said that, Ling Jiu stretched out his hand and gently grabbed onto the white sword light, before exerting some strength.

Krak!!

With a crisp crack, the white sword light suddenly exploded in an instant, turning into white spots of light before dissipating altogether.

"He blocked the attack of the Battle Formation of Light?" Ludwig wore an expression of shock as he lost his voice. "You're no ordinary Sacred!"

The power of the battle formation was terrifying. Any ordinary or newly ascended Sacred would never be able to withstand its attack.

Ling Jiu!

This Sacred-like person who had appeared out of nowhere had actually blocked the Battle Formation of Light's attack!

Ludwig immediately knew that Ling Jiu was definitely not an ordinary Sacred!

"Who told you I'm an ordinary Sacred?"

Ling Jiu snorted and lightly swept his hand as a terrifying wave swept out and slammed heavily against the projection.

A crack later, the projection instantly exploded, reduced to light spots before quickly fading away.

"Urgh!"

The Battle Formation of Light was shattered, and the templars, as if struck by lightning, spat out blood as they screamed and were blasted away.

"Pathetic!"

Chapter 291: The Holy Son of Light's Coronation, Seize It at Once

"Pathetic!"

Looking at the templars flying out spewing blood in their wake, Ling Jiu spat out a single word. He did not even bother to show contempt, because… these people were just a group of Level 8 powerhouses.

"Who are you?"

Ludwig stared at Ling Jiu and asked in a low voice.

"Who do you think you are, to think that you're worthy of knowing who I am?

Ling Jiu glanced at hi, and Ludwig flew away as if struck by lightning, not even having a chance to scream.

Before he even landed, Ling Jiu waved his hand and Ludwig disappeared where he stood, and he was sent into the Leoux.

This was Leoux's idea. It wanted to read Ludwig's memories to learn more about the Light Curia and Auguland.

In Leoux's words, Auguland was much more interesting than it had imagined, and it wanted to know more about it. Ling Jiu of had no objections, of course.

Next, Ling Jiu, Armando, and Delia continued to eat. Although the father and daughter were eating, they were obviously not enjoying it.

"What's wrong?" Ling Jiu asked gently.

"Milord…"

Armando hesitated for a moment before he said, "For us to kill the members of the Light Curia like that, the Curia will not let it slide. Let us leave as soon as possible."

"They won't let it slide? Then let them come!"

Ling Jiu took a sip of wine. "If they piss me off, I wouldn't mind erasing the Light Curia from Auguland proper."

Erase the Light Curia!

Armando and Delia were shocked. How strong are you? To say something so outrageous?

"Ling Jiu, big discovery!"

Leoux's voice suddenly rang.

"Hmmm?"

Ling Jiu raised his eyebrows.

"I've read the memories of this priest called Ludwig and found that the Light Curia's headquarters, the Holy Mountain of Light is sealing an outland demon."

Leoux continued, "Based on this guy's memories, the outland demon is a big snake with nine heads…"

"I guess, this demon could be one of the three ultimate warriors, the Nine-headed Snake!

As the headquarters of the Curia, the Holy Mountain of Light was their symbol and also the center of the Empire of Light's greatest power. On top of that, it acted as the empire's center of faith.

At every moment, countless devotees would go there to pray, and many powerhouses would come to the Curia to seek justice.

Today, the Holy Mountain of Light was even more lively as this was the coronation of the 127th Holy Son of Light.

The Holy Son of Light!

This was an extremely high position in the Light Curia, and it was no surprise that today's coronation will see the Holy Son becoming the new Holy Father.

Therefore, the coronation ceremony of the Holy Son of Light is one of the most important ceremonies of the Empire of Light. Not only all of the top echelons of the Curia would be present, other powerful countries and factions of the land would also send dignitaries to attend it.

On the plaza before the holy mountain, there was a sea of people, as devotees from all corners of the world had long thronged the place.

The Cathedral of Light stood behind the square.

Before the cathedral stood an elder with golden pontiff regalia, with a ruby crown and the Scepter of Light in his hand. He radiated a soft and sacred aura of light, looking both noble and divine.

There were many chairs on either side of the elder, and on the left side were the many top echelons of the Curia. Meanwhile, on the right were representatives of the various powerful factions.

"That's the Holy Father of the Light Curia?"

Ling Jiu and the others mixed themselves in the crowd as they looked at the elder in his pontiff regalia, and could not help but to take a couple more looks.

Ling Jiu was purely out of curiosity.

Armando and his daughter were in awe and excitement.

The Holy Father of Light!

The supreme ruler of both the Light Curia and the Empire of Light, one of the most important and most revered individuals of Auguland.

Such an existence, for Armando and Delia, was existence beyond reach.

However, at that moment, they had witnessed this legendary figure in the flesh.

How could they not be excited?

"This Holy Father of the Light is a truly peak stellar lifeform, not bad. Just a step away from becoming a galactic lifeform," Ling Jiu murmured to himself.

Being at the peak of a stellar lifeform meant the peak of a Sacred in Auguland, just a step away from becoming a true god.

Such strength was absolutely not weak. Across Earth, aside from him, even Emperor Might and Vulcan had not reached this level.

"The coronation ceremony begins!"

A melodious bell rang, toiling the commencement of the coronation ceremony.

Clatter! clatter!

A series of the sound of horseshoes rang out as the crowd slowly separated as a squad of knights riding on unicorns and wearing the armor of light slowly cantered into the pathway.

These were the templars!

Through and through Sacred-level powerhouses.

They were the greatest, most powerful knights of the Light Curia, and any single one of them was an existence that echoed across the empire.

At that moment, all eyes were not on these Templars but on the handsome young man being surrounded by them. He was riding a white-winged horse twice the size of other unicorns.

He had blonde hair, as well as light-colored eyes, and he looked handsome and heroic; coupled with petals that were constantly falling from the sky, he was like a prince who had just walked out of a fairy tale.

"It's the Holy Son, Lord Nicholas!"

Exclamations rang out across the crowd, as many girls were smitten, as they looked on at the handsome man with looks of fondness and infatuation.

If one were to ask who was the most handsome person on Auguland, these girls will definitely call out Lord Nicholas' name.

"He's so handsome!" Even Delia could not help but praise.

Nicholas came to the cathedral under the protection of the Templars before jumping off the unicorn's back and ascended the steps as he came before the Holy Father.

He knelt on one knee as he kissed the shoes of the Holy Father and said reverently.

"Greetings… oh great Holy Father! May the glory of the Lord shine eternally upon this land!"

"This day has finally come, my child."

The Holy Father held Nicholas' head with both hands as he kissed his forehead, and placed the ruby crown that symbolized status upon Nicholas' head, and handed the Scepter of Light symbolizing power to the latter.

After this, the Holy Father and the rest of the Curia's top echelons retreated behind Nicholas, and then faced the Cathedral of Light.

Or rather, they were facing the statue of the God of Light and started praying devoutly.

"Oh, almighty God of Light, we beseech you to guide us forth with your grace. May our prayers and deeds ever follow your lead…"

This was the coronation prayer!

It was the most important part of the coronation ceremony, it represented whether Nicholas can eventually become the Holy Father still depended upon the God of Light.

If the God of Light agreed to the coronation, a blessing would be given; if not…

There was no precedent of such a thing happening in history, as all of the Holy Sons were the most pious and outstanding of devotees. They had been specially raised and trained since young. Hence, they were capable of taking on the position of the Holy Father, so the God of Light had no reason to disagree.

It was the same this time.

Amidst everyone's prayers, a golden beam of light suddenly dropped down from the sky and enveloped Nicholas.

Immediately after, under everyone's gaze, a crystal the size of a walnut slowly flew down. It was irregularly prismatic and blood-red. It exuded a mysterious aura and unsurprisingly landed on Nicholas' head.

"Bloody hell! It's actually that!" Leoux's voice suddenly rang out.

"Ling Jiu, seize it at once!"

Report chapter

Chapter 292: Four Deadly Sins, Crushing the Holy Son

"My lord blesses us!"

"Praise the God of Light!"

"The great God of Light agreed with His Highness the Holy Son to become the new Holy Father."

"His Highness Nicholas is about to become the new Holy Father!"

The Holy Father of Light, the senior officials of the Curia, the representatives of the major forces, and the believers in the audience were all looking at the scarlet crystal descending from the sky.

Everyone knew that the great God of Light had given a blessing, which means that he agreed with His Highness Nicholas to be crowned as Holy Father.

"Praise you, the great God of Light!"

Nicholas was even more excited. The great God of Light agreed that as long as he infused the Divinity Profile into him, he would officially become the 127th Holy Father of the Light Curia and the Light Empire.

By then, he would become the supreme ruler of this empire.

Besides, his strength would skyrocket once he infused the Divinity Profile into him.

He would advance from the ordinary to the acme of the Sacred, becoming one of the most powerful people on Auguland.

"After infusing himself with the Divinity Profile, His Highness Nicholas will advance tremendously in the next few years, and will soon attain to the acme of the Sacred. By that time, there will be few people who can defeat him on Auguland."

"Exactly. With the infusion of the Divinity Profile, the improvement of the physical body or the breakthrough of the laws of heaven and earth will be as simple as drinking water. With His Highness's talent, it may take less than a year or two to achieve the acme of the Sacred."

"You two should probably change how you address His Highness now."

"Absolutely."

People looked on and could not hide their envy.

The Divinity Profile was one of the rarest and most precious things on Auguland.

It allowed people's cultivation base to achieve tremendous improvement in a short time.

It was a shame that this thing was too scarce. Not even the True Gods had it except for the Prime Gods, such as the Gods of Light.

So there were no two ways about it.

"Come on! Get into my body."

Nicholas stared at the slowly descending scarlet crystal, unable to conceal his yearning and anticipation. It was getting closer and closer.

Just as the scarlet crystal was about to land on Nicholas, a shadow appeared quietly and snatched the Divinity Profile.

Everyone was stunned at that moment.

As if someone had pressed a pause button, everyone in the Light Square stared at the figure that suddenly appeared, and did not know how to react.

Someone came and spoiled the party at such an important moment.

What was going on?

Everyone was in an uproar after a brief stupor. They looked at Ling Jiu who suddenly appeared and became agitated.

"Who is he?"

"What does he want to do?"

"How dare he?"

"Moron!"

"How audacious!"

All the higher-ups of the Light Curia were furious. Their energy burst out like a stormy sea crashing towards Ling Jiu in the air.

"Who are you? How dare you create trouble here! You are disrespecting the Light Curia!" the Holy Father of Light shouted.

"The Light Curia?" Ling Jiu snickered as he glanced at the Holy Father of Light. "What the hell is the Light Curia? Why should I care?"

Everyone was in an uproar.

People stared at Ling Jiu as if they were looking at a monster. How could that guy be so arrogant and disrespect the Light Curia?

The point was, this was the Holy Hill of Light, the headquarters of the Light Curia. The Pantheon of Light was right in front, and all the higher-ups of the Light Curia were here.

How dared he said this?

Had he lost his mind?

"How dare you?"

The Holy Father of Light was enraged, his furious aura shooting out of him as he was about to take down Ling Jiu. But someone was even quicker than him.

The Holy Son Nicholas rose into the air all of a sudden and flew up in front of Ling Jiu, his face expressionless, his eyes icy and his voice bitter.

"Heretic, you have sinned!

"Sin number one: you trespassed the Holy Hill of Light!

"Sin number two: you interrupted the coronation ceremony!

"Sin number three: you insulted the Light Curia!

"Sin number four: you disrespected the great God of Light!

"These are heinous sins, and they are unforgivable!"

Nicholas's body was glowing in holy light, like a bright sun, exuding a holy air, and like an angel descending on Earth to judge evil.

"I will punish you on behalf of the God of Light!" Nicholas drew a long sword from his waist, held it high above his head, and then shouted, "Go to hell, you sinful heretic!"

"Shut up!" Annoyed, Ling Jiu extended his hand.

Kaduum!

An invisible big hand appeared out of thin air and grabbed Nicholas, who felt an overpowering force pulling him toward Ling Jiu.

"Open! Open!"

Nicholas's expression changed drastically. Holy light burst out of his body like boiling water, trying to force open the invisible big hand.

However, he was disappointed to find that the invisible big hand did not even budge an inch.

"D*mn it! How is this possible?"

Nicholas screamed frantically. He was in the alpha stage of his Sacred-hood. At this stage, even the acme of the Sacred could not catch him so easily.

Yet Ling Jiu, this unknown guy who came out of nowhere, did it.

"You are great at pretending but not your strength."

Ling Jiu sneered at Nicholas and then grabbed the air with his right hand. Nicholas's body exploded into a cloud of blood mist all of a sudden.

Ling Jiu released his grip. Blood mixed with internal organs splattered on the square made of white stone of Light. It was a horrible sight.

There was dead silence in front of the Pantheon of Light at this moment.

No one could have thought that Ling Jiu would kill the Holy Son Nicholas. No, not the Holy Son but the Holy Father, to be exact.

At the moment when the God of Light gave his blessing, Nicholas was the new Holy Father.

"How dare he!"

The Holy Father of Light trembled with fury, and the higher-ups of the Light Curia were even more furious.

How dare Ling Jiu kill their new Holy Father in front of so many people on the Holy Hill of Light! This was an utter contempt of the Light Curia.

This was clearly an act of humiliation and provocation to the Light Curia. It was utterly disrespectful to the Light Curia.

A dozen streams of light shot into the sky and surrounded Ling Jiu.

They all wore armor of Light, helmets of Light, and carried holy swords of Light.

They were the 18 Knights Templar who guarded Nicholas.

The Knights Templar were the highest-ranked, most powerful, and prestigious guardians of the Light Curia.

Some of them were responsible for guarding the Holy Father, some the pantheon, and some the Holy Son.

These 18 Knights Templars were Nicholas's lifelong guardian knights.

They guarded Nicholas when he was still the Holy Son.

When Nicholas became the Holy Father, they guarded him, the Holy Father.

But now, Nicholas was dead. What had they done?

They were derelict in their duty.

It was their shame.

They wanted to wash away this shame with Ling Jiu's blood.

"Have a few more people who are not afraid of dying arrived?"

Report chapter

Chapter 293: Swallowing the Knights and Crushing the Holy Father

"Have a few more people who are not afraid of dying arrived?" Ling Jiu sneered as he looked at the 18 Knights Templars who surrounded him. "Get out of the way if you don't want to die. I have no time for all of you."

"Slash of Light!"

The 18 Knights Templars roared as they drew their Swords of Holy Light. It burst with a dazzling white light as they struck the sword down at Ling Jiu.

18 incredibly sharp sword lights shot out, tearing apart the void, and came in front of Ling Jiu. Typical Sacred would not withstand this attack and be cut into 18 pieces. But was Ling Jiu a typical Sacred?

"You're all biting off more than you can chew."

Shaking his head slightly, Ling Jiu did not dodge but let the 18 Slashes of Light strike him. He took the 18 strikes to the shock of everyone's life.

Everyone was horrified to see the Sword of Holy Light hit Ling Jiu with a loud clunk. But he was unhurt apart from a series of sparks flying all around.

"H-How could this be possible?"

The 18 Knights Templars were stunned.

The representatives of the major forces who came to observe the ceremony were just as stunned as the Holy Father of Light and the top leaders of the Light Curia.

"I can't believe that he is unscathed having taken the full blow of 18 Knights Templars! Is this guy a monster? How strong is his body?"

"Even the strongest Sacred-class Magic Beasts, the Vajra Giant Turtle, can't possibly withstand the attack of 18 Knights Templars without suffering heavy injury!"

"What kind of monster is this guy?"

There was an uproar among the spectators.

"Formation!"

The 18 Knights Templars reacted quickly. They formed a Light Battle Formation, trying to stack their 18 attacks into one when they saw their earlier attack fail.

"You all are just annoying!"

Ling Jiu frowned slightly. As he opened his mouth and inhaled, a black hole appeared and swallowed the 18 Knights Templars.

The black hole disappeared, and the light returned to the sky. But those Knights Templars had disappeared.

"Where are the Knights Templars?"

"Where have they gone?"

People watched in disbelief as the Knights Templars vanished. Was Ling Jiu still a human being when he swallowed 18 people at once?

The Holy Father of Light slowly rose into the air at this time, his aura becoming stronger as he rose. When he reached the same height as Ling Jiu in the air, his aura had reached an unparalleled level.

It was unfathomable as the abyss in the sea.

"It is His Majesty the Holy Father!"

"His Majesty the Holy Father strikes back!"

Everyone went delirious in an instant when they saw the Holy Father appear in the air. The Holy Father had presided over the Light Curia for 100 years and has a lofty status in the hearts of the people in the Light Empire. He was the pillar and bastion of stability of the empire.

Seeing him take action, people instantly felt relieved at seeing his appearance.

"I don't know who you are, what your background is, and what your purpose of coming to the Holy Hill of Light is." The Holy Father of Light looked at Ling Jiu, his voice avuncular with reassuring magical energy. "But you made a big mistake when you came looking for trouble in the Light Curia and killed the new Holy Father as well as the Knights Templars. You have sinned!"

A blinding light erupted from the Holy Father of Light as soon as he finished talking. The next moment, a 100-meter light appeared behind him. The light had six wings on its back, the head of an eagle, and the body of a human, which looked exactly like the statue of Light.

"The God of Light!"

"It is the great God of Light!"

All the believers at the scene went down to their knees and prayed devoutly at seeing the enormous light above the Holy Father of Light.

"Judgment of Light!"

As the Holy Father of Light stretched out his hand and struck with his hand, the shadow of the God of Light also raised its right hand and struck down at Ling Jiu.

Ling Jiu did not dodge when he saw this. Instead, he did nothing but let the giant palm hit him. Yet nothing had happened to him.

The giant palm that covered the sky trembled violently and then exploded into light and shadow.

"How could this be possible?" The face of the Holy Father of Light changed drastically.

"Is it over? It is my turn now."

The corner of Ling Jiu's mouth curled up in a wicked smile as he stretched out, clenched his right hand into a fist, and struck.

"Kaboom!"

A loud boom rose in the void as Ling Jiu's fist tore the void open and came in front of the Holy Father of Light.

"Guardian of Light!"

The Holy Father of Light quickly performed a Guardian of Light in desperation with the six wings of the phantom of the God of Light, shielding him from above.

It was a pity that Ling Jiu's fist still crushed the wings of the God of Light and struck him in the chest.

The chest of the Holy Father of Light collapsed inwardly. He burped up a mouthful of blood as he flew out backward like a cannonball shot out from the chamber. He did not stop until he hit the Pantheon of Light and crashed through the ceiling.

"Your Majesty the Holy Father!"

The top leaders of the Curia were shocked. They quickly rushed into the pantheon, looking for their Holy Father. Those believers and representatives of the various forces on the square gasped in horror, their expression changing.

The Holy Father of Light was an apex Sacred, one that truly stood at the top of the power pyramid on Auguland. His Guardian of Light was deemed as the most powerful defensive spell on the entire Auguland. Yet, he could not even withstand a punch from Ling Jiu?

How terrifying was Ling Jiu's strength?

"What the hell is this thing, Leoux?"

He did not know how shocked other people were. Even if he knew, he would not have cared less. He was more interested in the scarlet crystal in his hand, wondering what it was.

"It is the crystallization of a perfect three-dimensional being," Leoux explained. "The perfect three-dimensional being has comprehended half of the laws, and is starting to form the Body of the Laws. Do you know what the Body of the Laws is?"

Ling Jiu shook his head.

"The Body of the Laws uses its own physical body as a template. It brands the laws of the universe on the body, so the body has the characteristics of the laws. This is the Body of the Laws," Leoux said. "The formation of the Body of the Laws will increase combat strength tremendously with the laws of the universe in the cells and blood."

"You said that this thing is the crystallization of a perfect three-dimensional being. Could it be…" Ling Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Since it is the crystallization of a perfect three-dimensional being, this thing contains not only the powerful vitality of perfect three-dimensional beings but also has part of the cosmic laws imprinted in it," Leoux said. "As long as you refine and infuse this thing into you, you will not only improve your physical body tremendously but also comprehend the laws of the universe. Your strength will increase enormously to a terrific level in a short time."

"I didn't know that!" Ling Jiu now understood. But he had another question. "Where did they get this thing? Isn't the most powerful person in Auguland the super-clustered beings?"

There were the stellar beings, galactic beings, super-clustered beings, and then the perfect three-dimensional beings.

On a planet where the most powerful being was only a super-clustered being, there was a crystallization of a perfect three-dimensional being. What was going on here?

"That is the key question," Leoux said in a low voice. "If you want to figure out this problem, talk to that God of Light if you want to know the answer."

Ling Jiu nodded slightly. "It's time to have a little chat with him."

Chapter 294: The God of Fire Has Come, Strange Light Spot

A group of high-level officials of the Light Curia hurriedly pulled the Holy Father of Light out of the pantheon.

Everyone on the scene gasped when they saw the Holy Father of Light's condition.

His chest had collapsed with a large hole in its place, and his face was pale.

"It was just a punch!"

"He wounded the Holy Father severely with just a punch! Wouldn't His Majesty die if he were to hit His majesty with another punch?"

"Who is this guy? That's too powerful. I can't believe that the Holy Father of Light, one of the most powerful beings in Auguland, couldn't withstand his punch."

"I have never seen anyone like this for the hundreds of years I have been on Auguland."

There were discussions among the people.

"His Excellency is badass!"

"Even the Holy Father isn't his match!"

Delia and her father, Armando, were the most excited people there. They knew that Ling Jiu was great, but they never expected him to be this great.

He had killed the Holy Son with one hand.

He had swallowed the Knights Templars in one go.

He had crushed the Holy Father of Light with just a punch.

Was His Excellency even a human?

Was he not equal to the True Gods from heaven?

The Holy Father of Light coughed. Every time he did, he would burp up a mouthful of blood. He looked at Ling Jiu.

"Who are you, really? As far as I know, the Light Curia has never met you before. Why are you attacking the Light Curia unprovoked?"

"Indeed. The Light Curios and I have never met before."

Ling Jiu came out of his daze and shot a glance at the Holy Father of Light. "But do I need a reason to kill?"

The Holy Father of Light spurted another mouthful of blood upon hearing his answer.

Did he need a reason?

How arrogant!

You killed the Holy Son of the Light Curia, swallowed the 18 Knights Templars, and beat me to a pulp—and all this for no reason?

The Holy Father of Light almost cried—what a bully this guy was.

"The Great Lord will not let you go unpunished for your bullying," the Holy Father of Light said in a trembling voice. "He will punish you and sanction you. The glory of the Lord must not be besmirched, and all heretics will receive judgment."

"Judgment?" The corner of Ling Jiu's mouth curled up in a smirk as he looked up at the blue sky nonchalantly. "Then let him come and judge—I would like to see what the God of Light is capable of."

"How dare you!" someone shouted in the sky as soon as Ling Jiu's voice trailed off.

The next moment, a dazzling red beam of light descended from the sky and landed above the Pantheon of Light.

How high was this beam of light?

No one knew.

It seemed to extend down from the distant outer sky—higher than the sky.

Immediately after, a red figure slowly floated down the beam of light and appeared in the sky.

As soon as this figure appeared, a coercive force that no commoner could not withstand hit the mind of everyone.

The air turned viscous.

The void froze in an instant.

Common believers dropped to the ground, panting heavily. They found the air was extremely viscous, and they could not get much oxygen.

"The power of God!"

"It is the power of God!"

"God has come!"

The expressions of the Sacreds changed as they looked in disbelief at the fiery red figure hovering in the sky.

However, the Holy Father of Light and the top figures of the Curia were excited beyond words. They recognized the fiery red figure.

"The God of Fire!"

"It is the great God of Fire!"

"The God of Fire must have come to punish that goddamn heretic. Your time is up, you heretic!"

Ling Jiu had also noticed the fiery red figure from the sky, his face grave. "It seems that someone powerful has come, Leoux."

"This guy is a Level 3 galactic being, slightly more powerful than the elders of the Merpeople, not by much. That is about it," Leoux said with disdain. "If I am not mistaken, this guy is a True God of the Light Deities. Just that I don't know which."

The fire dragon, Esbiak was s Sacred, after all. It might know things on Auguland well, but not so in the case of the world of the gods.

"Yeah."

The fiery red figure stopped in the sky, and the red beam of light engulfing him also disappeared.

He was about the same height as a normal person, but there was a layer of red flame burning all over his body. On his forehead was a mark of flame, like the god of fire from the ancient heaven.

"Hail to the great God of Fire!"

The Holy Father and the top officials of the Light Curia went down on their knees and bowed to the God of Fire in the air.

Grover Godolphin, the God of Fire…

One of the most important True Gods of the Light Deities.

"Rise."

Grover Godolphin, the God of Fire, glanced at the Holy Father of Light and others, and then his gaze fell on Ling Jiu and said something surprising everyone. "You are not from Auguland."

"You can see that? Not bad," Ling Jiu complimented him.

"What?"

"He is not from Auguland?"

"No wonder he is unknown, yet so powerful. It turns out that he is not from Auguland. So where does he come from?"

It shocked the Holy Father of Light and everyone else upon hearing the conversation between the God of Fire and Ling Jiu. They all looked at Ling Jiu in disbelief.

"His Excellency is not from Auguland?" Armando and Delia were also stunned.

"Auguland exists in the chaotic void. Every so often, there will always be demons from the outer sky coming here. You are not the first, and you will not be the last," The God of Fire said faintly. "But they all faced the same fate: killed and buried deep in the ground of Auguland."

"So?" Ling Jiu cocked an eyebrow.

"Surrender, or you will face the wrath of the gods."

The God of Fire stared at him. The flames burning all over his body expanded in an instant, as there was terrifying energy with a burst of high pressure around him.

"The gods? Another group of guys who pretend to be gods." Ling Jiu shook his head. "I am afraid that I can't surrender—not in this life unless you can kill me, or be killed."

The God of Fire knew that negotiation was pointless. Anyone who had attained this level of cultivation would be so mentally strong that no words could bend their wills.

So, let's fight. After all, fists spoke louder than words.

"Kill!"

The God of Fire roared and spat out a red fire dragon from his mouth. The fire dragon rose against the wind and grew to a hundred meters long in the blink of an eye.

It then let out an angry roar as it swooped down at Ling Jiu.

"Let's see what you've got." Ling Jiu raised his right hand and then pointed into the air.

A substantial silver light spot shot out from his fingertip, as if the Six-Vein Divine Sword of Duan Yu, to greet the incoming red fire dragon.

The silver light spot looked as if it was a bullet, while the red fire dragon was a nuclear bomb. Their auras and powers were not at the same level.

However, something astonishing happened when the silver light spot and the red fire dragon collided: the hundred-meter-long red fire dragon vanished.

When the silver light passed through the fire dragon and reached the tail, the fire dragon vanished into thin air.

Yet, the silver light spot continued its momentum and shot forward. The God of Fire was shocked and immediately tried to punch the silver light spot.

Something incredible happened again. Upon hitting the silver light spot, his fist vanished, just like the red fire dragon.

"Not good!"

The God of Fire severed his arm decisively in the nick of time and fled into the distance. The silver light spot continued to shoot forward before it hit a massive mountain in the distance.

There was no horrible explosion, no earth-shattering blast, yet the mountain vanished without making a sound.

Chapter 295: Killing Three More Gods, the Coming of the Prime God

A massive mountain had just vanished into thin air.

What magic was it?

Everyone, including Grover Godolphin, was shocked.

"What do you think of this move of mine, the great God of Fire?" Ling Jiu snapped his fingers and smiled at the God of Fire.

"Is it the Laws?"

The God of Fire's face looked grave. He had felt the energy of the laws of heaven and earth in the silver light spots. But he did not know what specific law it was.

He was sure this was an unprecedented law of heaven and earth.

"Yes, it is the laws." Ling Jiu nodded slightly. The silver light spot was nothing but the power of the Law of Dimensions—zero-dimensional space, to be exact.

Zero-dimensional meant having no extent in any direction.

Space without dimensions was vertex.

So zero-dimensional space was also called vertex space.

The law of the zero-dimensional space's power was the law of the vertex space's power.

"All attacks vanish for no reason. What is that law?"

The God of Fire's brows were knitted together tightly. He then seemed to think of something, his pupils contracting. "Could it be the Law of Dimensions?"

"You guessed it, but no prizes for you." Ling Jiu let out a faint smile without denying it.

"It really is the Law of Dimensions!"

The God of Fire gasped. "The Law of Dimensions, according to legend, is the toughest law to comprehend save for the Law of Time. I can't believe that you have comprehended it!"

"Are you still fighting or not?" Ling Jiu waved his hand impatiently.

The God of Fire hesitated this time. He would have definitely attacked with no hesitation before this. But Ling Jiu had comprehended the Law of Dimensions.

The Law of Dimensions was recognized as not only one of the most difficult to comprehend but also one of the most powerful.

Could he defeat his opponent when facing the being that had comprehended the Law of Dimensions?

The God of Fire seriously doubted it.

"You won't fight? I will help myself then." Ling Jiu cracked his neck. The next moment the God of Fire knew, Ling Jiu's right fist struck out like a cannonball in front of him.

"That's fast!"

The God of Fire's expression changed drastically as dodging it was too late. He could only parry with his arm at this critical moment.

Ling Jiu crushed the God of Fire's arm and hit his chest in an instant.

Ling Jiu punched through the God of Fire's breastbones, his fist exiting the God of Fire's back.

Blood gurgled out of the God of Fire's body. His mouth was wide open, and disbelief filled his eyes. "I-I can believe that I will die at your hands."

"You claim to be a god, but you are not actually a god. Of course, you will die."

Ling Jiu vaporized the blood on his hand as he pulled back his fist. "You must have been worshipped for too long to think that you will never die."

"I…"

The God of Fire coughed out a mouthful of blood, his vision dimming as he was close to death. Just then, Ling Jiu took him into the Inner World with the wave of his hand.

After all, he was a Level 3 galactic being; he could still provide Ling Jiu with a lot of vitality and dark bio-energy. Ling Jiu did not want to let all that go to waste.

"He's dead?"

"The God of Fire is dead?"

"He killed the great God of Fire?"

Everyone looked at Ling Jiu in horror and disbelief.

That was a True God, the immortal True God who ruled Auguland for thousands of years. Could a True God die? How could this be possible?

It completely turned people's understanding upside down. Auguland was home to countless living beings, and these mortal beings died and returned to earth as dust. But the gods never seemed to die. They were like stars that shone forever in the sky.

Over time, people started to think that these gods were immortal, with eternal life, that they would never decay, or could be killed.

No one on Auguland had ever witnessed the death of the gods. But now, the God of Fire, one of the True Gods, had been killed.

It was shocking and mind-boggling.

Just then, three light beams shone down from the sky, one silver, one yellow, and one green. Three people appeared as the light beams dissipated.

A brawny man with horns wrapped in thunder and lightning, a fat man with a big belly, and a young girl in a green dress…

The Holy Father of Light and others quickly bowed when they saw these three individuals. "Hail to the God of Thunder, the God of Earth, and the God of Wood."

They were gods. Gods had appeared again, and there were three of them this time.

The believers and representatives of the various forces on the square were stunned. Those True Gods had been aloof and impossible to meet in the past. Yet, they were now seeing three at once.

The three gods ignored the Holy Father of Light and others. Instead, they were staring at Ling Jiu with fear in their eyes.

Crushed the God of Fire with just a punch—Ling Jiu was far more powerful than they thought.

"Well, well, well. Here come another three gods." Ling Jiu snapped his fingers in ridicule. "You all are here to suicide?"

"The Prime God wants to see you."

The God of Wood who was wearing a green gauze skirt spoke. She had vermilion lips, and her voice was reminiscent of tingling spring water. It was sweet and ethereal, pleasing to the ears.

"Wants to see me?" Ling Jiu dug into his ear. "Then ask him to come and see me. I am not a running lapdog that he can boss around."

"How dare you!"

"Brazen!"

"Bugger!"

The God of Thunder, the God of Earth, and the God of Wood were appalled, looking at Ling Jiu with fury in their eyes. "Please mind your tone of voice!"

Ling Jiu snickered and vanished.

The next moment, three Ling Jius appeared in front of the three gods, raising their fists and striking the three gods on their heads.

"Stop!"

There was a loud shout from the sky. Ling Jiu ignored it and continued to punch.

With three neat and crisp sounds, the heads of the God of Thunder, the God of Earth, and the God of Wood burst like a watermelon hit by a sledgehammer. Red and white brains scattered all over, leaving only three headless bodies suspended in mid-air.

"Mind my tone of voice?"

The three Ling Jius returned and became one again. "The God of Light is your Prime God. It has nothing to do with me. You respect him, honor him, and treat him as your father. However, he is nobody to me."

"They are dead!"

There was dead silence in the Square of Light. Everyone was gasping in horror. If the killing of the God of Fire by Ling Jiu horrified them, then the death of the God of Thunder, the God of Earth, and the God of Wood turned their minds blank.

The three True Gods had just been killed like that?

"Oh, God of Light, this cannot be true! This cannot be true!"

People muttered to themselves, unable to accept what they had witnessed.

Just then, a shadow flashed, and a person appeared in front of them.

This guy had six wings on his back, the head of an eagle, and the body of a human. He emanated a soft milky-white halo and a sacred, inexplicably comforting air.

"The God of Light!"

The Holy Father of Light, the Curia, all the believers, and representatives from the major forces went down on their knees at once.

The God of Light had arrived.

"How dare you kill the God of Fire, God of Thunder, God of Earth, and God of Wood! You deserve a thousand deaths for your sins!"

The God of Light was enraged. Not even the endless sea could put out the anger in his heart.

The four True Gods were his powerful right-hand men, the mainstay of the Light Deities. How could the Light Deities fight against other gods now that they were dead?

How could they compete for control of faith on Auguland?

Chapter 296: Killing the God of Light, Terrifying Arrows

"What is the fuss about me killing these four whippersnappers? Do you want me to kill you, too?"

Ling Jiu let out a faint smile, looking nonchalant, as if he had done something not worth mentioning.

Indeed.

No matter how shocked and horrified the Holy Father of Light and others were. In Ling Jiu's way of thinking, he had just done something trivial. Was the life of the four galactic beings not trivial?

"You arrogant bigot! I will smash you into pieces, grind your treacherous bones to dust, and make you regret everything you have done today!"

The God of Light was furious, holy light bursting out of his body, and a powerful energy spreading in all directions, crushing the Holy Hill of Light.

"Aah—"

How could the mortal believers in the Square of Light withstand his overpowering energy? He was a powerful super-clustered being.

Those who had better strength were pressed to the ground, their orifices bleeding.

Those who were weaker were crushed and died in an instant.

Many believers were crushed to death in just a second.

But the God of Light could not care less. Those people were mere mortals, their death insignificant.

"Grind my bones to dust? I don't mind being crushed into slag. Just that I am afraid you can't."

Ling Jiu sneered and then waved his hand impatiently. "Cut the crap and do it now. I am in a hurry and have no time for bullshit."

"Die!"

The God of Light let out an angry roar and struck.

Baroom!

A three-hundred-meter eagle claw, crushing down like an ancient sacred mountain down from heaven onto Ling Jiu.

The eagle's claws were milky white, and lines that looked as if tadpoles covered the surface. These lines made the eagle's claws not only indestructible but also extremely heavy.

Apparently, this was also a law attack.

Before the eagle's claws had even approached, an extremely powerful coercive force crushed those people—especially the weaker Sacreds and mortal believers on the Square of Light—to the ground.

Only the apex Holy Father of Light and apex Sacreds could withstand it, albeit barely and in fear and panic.

The God of Light.

The true super-clustered being.

A being that could live for 100,000 years.

He was ancient, always standing tall in Auguland. No one knew how powerful he was.

"He is a formidable opponent, Ling Jiu. Are you sure you can defeat him? Don't force it if you can't." Leoux's voice came. "I will take care of him and blow him into pieces in one shot. I promise."

"A man should never say he can't." Ling Jiu rolled his eyes. "But I can't deny that this guy is powerful, and I am no match for him. So it is time to let my Saiyan Golden Ape avatar take care of him."

He quickly switched to the Saiyan Golden Ape avatar as soon as his voice trailed off. As much as the Saiyan Golden Ape avatar was equally handsome.

Its temperament was more violent, more untamed, more bloodthirsty, more brutal, more barbaric—more of everything else in temperament.

"It has been a long time since I was last in action."

The Saiyan Golden Ape avatar licked its lips. A bloodthirsty gleam flashed in its golden eyes. As it stomped its feet on the ground, its body launched into the air with a loud sonic boom. Leveraging on this bouncing force, the Saiyan Golden Ape avatar hurled straight up at the descending eagle's claw.

"Break it!"

Boom!

Ling Jiu soared into the sky and clashed with the milky white eagle claws.

A terrifying sound, as if two intercontinental missiles carrying nuclear warheads collided and exploded in the air, spread shock waves in all directions.

"Aah—"

The earlier surviving mortal believers on the square bore the brunt of the burst of shock waves. They died on the spot as their bodies exploded into clouds of blood mist.

All the mortal believers were dead, their blood dyeing the Holy Hill of Light red.

This proved that watching the gods fight was dangerous. You could be collateral damage and die without you knowing it.

The condition of the Holy Father of Light and other powerhouses was no better. The powerful shock waves sent them flying out backward for several kilometers before they could stabilize themselves and stop.

Horror filled their eyes, their hearts pounding. Not wanting to stay a second longer, they immediately fled the scene. They knew this level of battle was not something they could watch.

Bang!

The milky white eagle claws exploded, and Ling Jiu fell from the sky like a dead fly towards the Pantheon of Light.

Kaboom!

The Pantheon of Light collapsed and pulverized, as if a meteorite fell and impacted the earth, leaving behind a massive crater in the square.

The next moment, Ling Jiu shot out from the crater and spat. He was bedraggled.

But he was full of energy, unhurt from the collision.

"What a strong body!"

The pupils of the God of Light contracted and a golden bow appeared in his hand all of a sudden.

The bow was a hundred-meter, with golden scales engraved on the surface. The bowstring was blood red, exuding bursts of evil red light. The limbs of the bow were engraved with mysterious, golden patterns.

"Die!"

The God of Light shouted as a golden arrow made of bone appeared out of thin air in his hand.

He pulled the bowstring backward, and the arrow was projected out with a crisp buzzing through the air.

The arrow vanished as soon as it left the bow. When it reappeared a ten-thousandth of a second later, it had come within inches of Ling Jiu's heart, aiming at his heart.

"Can't fight head-on!"

Ling Jiu's heart skipped a beat. With no hesitation, Ling Jiu performed a Blink Arcana and vanished into thin air.

The bone arrow fell from the sky and hit the ground, piercing through the soil, as if cutting through a fragile tofu, and left behind a hole with a diameter of one meter in the ground.

"You dodged it in the nick of time, Ling Jiu!" Leoux said, sounding in surprise. "Otherwise, this arrow strike would have killed you instantly. The Saiyan Golden Ape avatar might be strong, but it is still nowhere near that guy."

Ling Jiu silently nodded.

While the Saiyan Golden Ape avatar was in the sixth level of being a galactic being, the God of Light was a life super-clustered being. The difference between them was absolute.

"The Saiyan Golden Ape avatar might not be inferior in outright head-to-head combat, but the real threat comes from the bow in the hands of the God of Light," Leoux said. "I have detected the vitality of Nine-tailed Serpent, Nine-winged Serpent, and Nine-headed Serpent on the bow. I am sure this bow is definitely made of their bones and tendons."

"No wonder this bow is so terrifyingly powerful!"

Ling Jiu squinted his eyes. He could sense that the arrow could definitely shoot through Auguland. Just that he did not expect the bow and arrow to be made of the body of a Nine-tailed serpent.

The Nine-tailed Serpent, Nine-winged Serpent, and Nine-headed Serpent were born super-clustered beings.

"He dodged it!" The God of Light squinted his eyes. "Was it a Blink arcana? Of course he has mastered Blink Arcana; he has comprehended the Law of Dimensions. But this arrow…"

The God of Light loaded his bow again. And this time, it was three arrows, which he would fire at the same time.

"You are better than me in cultivation base and gear. That is a bit unfair. Let me take your gear!" The corners of Ling Jiu's mouth curled up. The next moment, he had come in front of the God of Light, grabbing the bow and arrows.

The God of Light shouted, "You have a death wish!"

He pulled the bowstring, about to fire. Since Ling Jiu was so close, the arrows would definitely pierce through Ling Jiu's heart.

"You want to shoot me? Unless you have time." Ling Jiu sneered. "Time Halt!"

Report chapter

Chapter 297: Time Stop, Killing the Prime God

Hummm…

The torrent of time stopped flowing as everything inside the torrent came to a pause, or rather… a full stop.

The God of Light, with the divine arrow in his hand, was also set still in place.

"No matter how powerful you are, you are nothing before the power of time!"

Ling Jiu smiled faintly as he grabbed the golden bow from the God of Light's hand, and then drew it as he aimed the bow at the God of Light.

As a powerful supergalactic lifeform, even though the God of Light could be held still by Time Stop, but it will not be for long.

Just two seconds later, time began to flow again as the God of Light regained mobility.

Immediately after, the God of Light was shocked to find that his divine bow was no longer in his hand but in Ling Jiu's instead.

"What's going on?"

The God of Light was stunned.

"Die!"

Ling Jiu drew the bowstring. He was not worried about whether he could pull the bow or not.

That was a foregone conclusion!

The physical attributes of the Golden Saiyan Ape's clone or avatar were extremely powerful, and it was also a whole level different compared with the God of Light. Despite all that, their physical aspects were not very varied.

Being able to draw the bow… was more than enough!

As predicted!

Woosh!!

A golden arrow shot out like a stream of light and struck the God of Light squarely, the arrow biting into his chest after a thud.

"How is this possible?"

The God of Light's eyes were full of disbelief. He had not figured out how his bow and arrow had ended up in Ling Jiu's hands.

"Second shot!"

Ling Jiu nocked the arrow and drew the bow again.

Wooosh!!

This time, the God of Light reacted quickly, as his body quickly pulled back as he tried to dodge the shot. At this moment, Ling Jiu used Time Stop again.

Buzzzz…

The torrent of time stopped flowing once again, and the God of Light stopped where he stood as the second shot punctured through his forehead.

Right then, the torrent of time flowed once again, and the God of Light felt a biting pain coming from his forehead. As he reached out to touch it, he found an arrow there.

Moreover, the arrow had run through his entire head and jutted out the back just like that.

"What the hell is going on?"

The God of Light was about to go crazy as he glared at Ling Jiu and growled. "You b*stard! What have you done to me?"

Looking at the furious God of Light, Ling Jiu had many thoughts in mind. The God of Light had taken two shots and had yet to understand the situation…

That was the power of time!

During Time Stop, the God of Light's thoughts also came to a standstill, so he… had no idea what happened while everything unfolded!

"A dead person doesn't need to know why."

Ling Jiu nocked the third arrow and drew the bow, and like clockwork, the third arrow shot through the heart of the God of Light, once again hitting a critical part.

Even if the God of Light was a supergalactic lifeform, when both vital points in his head and heart were punctured at the same time, he would still die.

"Why…"

The divine light in his eyes gradually faded as the God of Light looked at Ling Jiu and spat out the single word slowly, before falling to the ground.

Until he died… he did not understand what had happened. He did not understand why he died, and how he died.

"His Lordship… is dead?"

The God of Light still had not figured things out, and the Holy Father of Light, the top echelon of the Curia and the representatives of many other factions who were witnessing the battle from afar was equally stunned.

Yes, they were stunned because their time had not been stopped.

They had witnessed everything, and since they had witnessed everything, they were even more stunned.

They had clearly seen Ling Jiu walk to the God of Light, grab the bow and arrow out of the latter's hand, then draw the bow, shooting the God of Light three times.

During the entire process, the God of Light had moved several times. However, at every critical moment, he had seemed to be disconnected, or rather, he had suddenly stopped moving!

Then, he died just like that!

"Why is this happening?"

The Holy Father of Light and the Curia's top echelon looked at each other. "What did that person do to His Lordship? Why did his Lordship not fight back?"

"Was it a mental attack?"

"Perhaps a Dimensional Shackle?"

They could not figure it out!

They did not understand, and they could not understand, much less accept it!

"Even the great Lord is dead. Our Light Curia is done for!"

The Holy Father's face was pale as his spirit was despondent. "This heretic will not let us go, the other gods too will not let us go!"

Hearing this, every one of the top echelons in the Curia became as white as paper.

After taking out the God of Light, Ling Jiu heaved a sigh of relief, and just as he was about to toss the God of Light's corpse into his Inner World, but he was stopped by Leoux.

"Don't rush to break him down. Let me read his memory first."

"Sure!"

Ling Jiu agreed immediately. An ancient monster like the God of Light, who had lived for millions of years, would have rich experiences. His memories were like a huge treasure trove that should be put to good use.

Soon, there was a result as they had anticipated.

"Heh, this guy is a real antique. He lived for a good 75,270 years."

"Huh? The God of Light is not a native of Auguland, and the several other Prime Gods aren't either. These guys came from other planets."

"In Auguland's belief system, the God of Light and other Prime Gods personally orchestrated several catastrophes… Tsk tsk, the poor folks of Auguland."

"Found it! Information about the Nine-tailed Snake, the Nine-winged Snake, and the Nine-headed Snake… I knew they wouldn't be killed for no reason!"

Ling Jiu had originally been listening quietly, but when he heard the news about the three snakes, he suddenly became interested. "Leoux, what happened?"

"Five thousand years ago, the three snakes accidentally descended upon Auguland."

"Sadly for them, it seemed that they had just been born when they got here, hence they were not strong. Even so, they quickly reached level of supergalactic lifeforms."

Leoux explained, "Their rise threatened the position of the four Prime Gods led by the God of Light, so a war broke out."

"The final result is self-evident. Under the assault of so many Prime Gods, the three snakes finally fell."

"The Prime Gods of Auguland divided the bodies of the three great lifeforms, and the bow and arrow used by the God of Light were made from their bones and tendons."

"And?" Ling Jiu asked again.

"The God of Light and the others took away their souls and sealed them under Auguland. That allowed them to continuously draw upon Dark Bio-energy from the universe and spill it across Auguland, nourishing it," Leoux said slowly.

"Lifeforms such as the three snakes can naturally draw and ingest Dark Bio-energy. Using them as an engine to draw Dark Bio-energy was entirely enough to nourish a planet.

"After all, they are supergalactic lifeforms."

"Is this the reason why the Gene Arcana on Auguland is so rich?" Ling Jiu murmured to himself and was somewhat surprised.

"Yeah."

Leoux nodded.

"Where are they now?" Ling Jiu asked further.

"They are scattered all over Auguland," Leoux said. "And the soul of the Nine-headed Snake is sealed beneath the Holy Mountain of Light."

"The Holy Mountain of Light? Let's go down and have a look."

At first glance, there were boiling magma all over alongside bubbling gases as the magma radiated an astonishingly high temperature and heat.

Clearly, this was the underground world of Auguland.

On the boiling magma lake was a huge island. There was nothing on it, and if there were any, they would have been long burned to ashes.

He saw a large monster lying on the island. It was more than 10,000 meters long, its body red as blood and its scales were like blood gems.

What was amazing was that it had nine identical heads, with an extremely sturdy and massive body, making it look like a big mountain.

Towering, majestic.

Ferocious, menacing.

But sadly, it was shackled by chains of various colors.

These chains stretched out from the magma one after another, shackling it firmly onto the small island, rendering it unable to move or escape.

This nine-headed behemoth was the Nine-headed Snake!

"So miserable."

A voice rang out.

"Who goes there?"

The imprisoned Nine-Headed Snake shuddered as its nine heads tried to rise up but was firmly bound by the chains, and was unable to rise. Instead, the chains rattled, and sending the sound far and wide.

"Who's speaking just now?"

One of the Nine-Headed Snake's head uttered human tongue. It was now a soul for, and so what it spoke was soul resonances, so it was completely understandable.

"Me."

A figure appeared in midair. It was Ling Jiu.

WOOOSHHH!!

The eightteen eyes of the Nine-headed Snakes all looked at Ling Jiu like razor, as a terrifying soul aura immediately rushed at Ling Jiu.

"Who are you?"

The Nine-headed Snake asked.

"Just a passing pretty boy."

Ling Jiu smiled slightly as a chair appeared out of nowhere and he sat on it. A Casmodor Fruit appeared in his hand as he took a bite. The fruit's juice overflowed, as it was fleshy and juicy, sweet and delicious, and it tasted really good.

"Who are you?"

The Nine-headed Snake asked once again.

"Why do you need to know my identity?"

Ling Jiu shook his head. "In your current situation, even if you figure out who am I, what can you do?"

The Nine-headed Snake was silent.

Yes, even if it were to figure out who that person before it was, what then?

Will he rescue it?

Cease the jokes. Even if he was to rescue it, how would those supergalactic beings on Auguland agree to that?

Besides, why would he rescue it?

Since it cannot leave, why bother so much?

Thinking of this, the Nine-headed Snake suddenly became listless as its eyelids drooped and it no longer paid any attention to Ling Jiu.

"And the proud Nine-headed Snake's end is such a sorry one. How sad."

Ling Jiu nibbled on the Casmodor Fruit. "Even if you were to go out now, you'll be completely useless, right?"

The complete Nine-headed Snake was very strong, and had great potential. However, the one before it was only left with its soul, and was considered completely rendered useless.

"Hmph! What do you know?"

The Nine-headed Snake exhaled. "We the Nine-headed Snakes have a secret reincarnation technique. As long as I can escape, I can find a new body, and use that technique to reform my body, and return to my peak form."

"Hmmm?"

Ling Jiu was shocked. "A secret reincarnation technique? You're not talking about possession right? Even if you were to possess a body, it is someone elses, and not the Nine-headed Snake's own."

"You don't understand."

Normally, the Nine-headed Snake could not be bothered with Ling Jiu, but it was depressed for far too long and did not mind a chat with someone.

"The secret reincarnation technique of the Nine-head Snakes is different from the common possession."

"Possession is at most doves occupying a magpie's nest, but our reincarnation technique can transform a new body, turning it into a true Nine-headed Snake's body. The two are completely different."

"There's such a secret technique?"

Ling Jiu's eyes lit up. "That is to say, if I were to release you, you have a way to regain your Nine-headed Snake body?"

"Of course!"

Nine-headed Snake said with affirmation.

"Leoux, it's not lying to me, right?"

Ling Jiu asked Leoux.

"It's speaking the truth."

Leoux was affirmative. "The most special thing about this Nine-headed Snake is actually their soul. As long as the soul survives, even if their flesh was rendered useless, they can still seize a new one, and then transform that body into a new Nine-headed Snake body."

"So, it's necessary to rescue it?"

Ling Jiu smiled.

"Of course!"

Leoux said. "Rescue it, and then subdue it, and you shall have a fighter by your side with limitless potential. To be frank, its potential is much greater than Armando and Delia."

"Let's rescue it then."

Ling Jiu nodded slightly and said to the Nine-headed Snake as he looked at it. "Nine-headed Snake, do you want to go out?"

"Go out?"

The Nine-headed Snake was stunned, as its nine pair of eyes stared at Ling Jiu before suddenly breaking into laughter.

"You can rescue me? You gotta be joking! Those gods of Auguland will not allow such a thing! Moreover, you don't have the strength…"

The Nine-headed Snake was stunned before he finished speaking, because Ling Jiu took out something.

"This is…"

The Nine-headed Snake looked at the corpse floating before Ling Jiu and could not believe its eyes. "That's… the God… of Light?"

"Bingo!"

Ling Jiu nodded slightly. "I've ran into this guy just now when I arrived at Auguland. He's quite the nasty one, so I just killed him."

"You're not from Auguland?"

The Nine-headed Snake stared at Ling Jiu.

"Of course not!"

Ling Jiu smiled faintly. "Auguland can never give birth to a powerful existence like me."

"After all, this planet is completely controlled by just a few Prime Gods."

The Nine-headed Snake nodded again and again. It agreed with this. With the God of Light and other Prime Gods around, they will smother out any factors causing instability.

So, for tens of thousands of years, the Prime Gods of Auguland had always been that few.

"Are you willing to rescue me?"

The Nine-headed Snake could not hide the excitement in its heart. "What are your conditions? As long as I can do it, I will agree to it!"

"Simple, submit to me." Ling Jiu bit off the last piece of fruit and said. "Submit to me, and I will set you free."

"Submit?"

The Nine-headed Snake was silent.

For a noble lifeform like it, submitting to others was undoubtedly something acceptable, but no matter how difficult it was to accept, would it be as unacceptable as his current state?

Being sealed here for eternity, never to see the skies again… this was simply worse than death!

"Fine, I will submit to you."

The Nine-headed Snake did not hesitate long before coming to a decision. It had been sealed for far too long, and was at the ends of its wits, it was dying to go to the world outside.

Moreover, after waiting for so many years, such an opportunity like Ling Jiu had appeared, it was afraid that if it missed this chance, it will never have the chance to go out again.

"A very wise decision!"

Ling Jiu threw away the core and said. "Don't resist, I want to leave my spiritual mark in your soul."

"Okay!"

The Nine-headed Snake immediately agreed.

Ling Jiu immediately used his Arcana, the Absolute Servitude, and enslaved the Nine-Headed Snake.

With its original soul strength, it would be impossible for Ling Jiu to enslave it as the difference in soul strength was just too great.

But since the Nine-headed Snake did not resist, everything was just a matter of course.

"Done!"

Chapter 299: I Don't Eat Dog Meat, I Want to Eat Dog Meat

Magic Beast Forest, one of the four forbidden lands on Auguland.

This forbiddance was of course, only for humans. For the beasts, it was their paradise, as a large number of magic beasts lived in the forest.

For the humans of Auguland, the heart of the Magic Beast Forest was a mysterious area. No one knew what it looked like, and no one knew was the heart was either.

At this moment, the heart of the Magic Beast Forest.

A huge castle of metal stood there, there were a guard in every three steps, and a watchpost every five, clearly there were many standing guard there.

Upon closer look, however, one would notice that all these guards had beast heads, just like those demons with their incomplete human-forms in Journey to the West.

Meanwhile, a feast was being held in the castle's main hall.

A fatty with a portly belly sat high above the main seat, with several charming fox ladies rubbing his back and massaging his shoulder, all the while refilling its wine goblet and attending to all of its fancies, and at the center of the hall were several… Magic Beasts.

They were Bull Beasts, Tiger Beasts, Wolf Beasts…

Without exception, all of these Magic Beasts had shrank their bodies a very small size, similar to a husky as they enjoyed the feast before them happily.

"Did you lot heard everything I said just now?"

The fatty on the main seat took a swig of liquor before looking around and asked.

"We've heard it, king!"

"We've all heard it!"

All of the Magic Beasts spoke human tongue, as all of them were Sacred-level beasts. In Auguland, only Sacred-level Magic Beats could transform and speak human tongue.

"Don't just hear it, also keep it in mind!"

The fatty said solemnly. "The God of Light's pantheon is gone, even that he himself got killed. If you lot odn't want to die, better behave from now on."

"Any fool who does something stupid and provoke that monster, even if he does not kill you, I bloody hell will! Understand!"

"Yes, yes!"

"Yes, king!"

The group of Sacred-level Magic Beasts responded obediently. Even if the king did not say it, they themselves would not go an provoke that living calamity.

Goodness, even the God of Light was killed!

How dare they provoke such a person?

They wouldn't have dared even if they had testicles of steel.

"As long as you understand."

The fatty gave a satisfied nod. "Come eat, and get lost once you're done! I want to go into my lair for seclusion, Auguland is really not safe of late…"

"Excuse me, can I get a glass of wine to drink?"

At this moment, a clear voice rang out in the hall as the fatty and a group of Sacred Magic Beasts turned their heads as a young man had appeared outside the hall without them noticing it.

"Where did you come from, manling! You dare to intrude upon this place? Still don't know when to get lost?!"

The Sacred-level Dog Beast, Skyhowler suddenly stood up and yelled angrily at the youth.

"Your king said nothing, so why is a mere dog like you barking? Shut up!"

The youth sniggered and ignored Skyhowler as he looked at the fatty sitting upon the main seat.

"What did you just say! You want to die?!"

Hearing what the youth said. Skyhowler was furious as it opened its mouth and was ready to swallow the youth whole.

However, at this very moment, a black shadow darted out of the hall and a slap landed heavily on Skyhowler's face.

This slapo was very powerful and sent Skyhowler flying, with several of its fangs also went flying by the impact.

Skyhowler was shocked, surprised to see the person attacking it was its own king as it looked in disbelief. "My king, you…"

"Shut up! You mewling fool!"

The fatty roared in fury before tumbling over towards the youth and said with sweat on its forehead.

"Your Lordship, it was me who failed in whipping them into shape that that cur insulted you. Please be forgiving and let this slide?"

Hearing this, and seeing how their king was acting, everyone in the hall suddenly understood it as they all knelt down and planted their foreheads on the grond. "Greetings… Your Lordship!"

"Your…Lordship?"

Skyhowler was stunned, and looked at Ling Jiu in disbelief. "He…he is that…living calamity?"

Seeing Skyhowler was still standing there, the fatty yelled again. "Your cur, what are you standing there like a fool for? Hurry up and apologize to His Lordship!"

"Yes, yes… my king!"

Skyhowler immediately scampered before the young man and kowtowed as hard as it could. "Please forgive me Your Lordship, please forgive me…"

The youth was no one else but Ling Jiu. He glanced at Skyhowler which was scared out of its wits and said faintly. "You are lucky, my body is heaty lately, and so I'll done eating dog meat. Get lost."

"Thank you, Your Lordship! Thank you!"

Ling Jiu walked to the main seat and sat down as the fatty smartly got someone to bring a new set of wine glasses and food for Ling Jiu to dine.

Ling Jiu took a bite and could not help but nod. "The taste is not bad."

"As long as you like it, Your Lordship. As long as you like it." The fatty said with a smile.

"You are the master of the Magic Beast Forest, the Golden Titan Ant King?" Ling Jiu looked at the fatty and said.

"Yes, Your Lordship!"

The fatty quickly replied.

"I heard that you are the descendant of the God of the Magic Beasts?"

Ling Jiu asked casually as he ate.

"Yes, Your Lordship!"

The fatty said cautiously. "All of the true gods of the Beast God pantheon are all in the Divine Realm. Only I, being the least useful of the lot, Father had let me stay in Auguland, and rule over the Beast Tribes of Auguland."

"Oh I see!"

Ling Jiu nodded slightly and then focused on eating. Fatty and the other Sacred-level Magic Beasts in the hall all remained silent, and dared not disturb him.

Half an hour later, and when he was almost done eating, Ling Jiu stood up and patted the fatty on the shoulder as he smiled. "Not bad. If there's another chance in the future, I'll come again."

"We welcome your arrival at any time, Your Lordship."

The fatty hurriedly said with a smile.

"Right then. Good bye."

Ling Jiu smiled and quietly disappeared from the hall.

DUSHHH!!

After confirming Ling Jiu had truly left, the fatty let out a huge sigh before collapsing onto the ground like a deflated balloon.

"That's so dangerous! It was just too dangerous just now!"

"My King, that living calamity had left?"

"Seems like he's gone."

The fatty wiped the sweat off its forehead and said fearfully. "I never thought that that living calamity would come here. That almost scared the life out of me."

"My king, that living calamity doesn't look like much, and seems like he's quite easy to talk with, totally not as bloodthirsty as you said!"

A Sacred-level Tiger Beast frowned.

"You know jacksh*t!"

The fatty roared. "He had butchered the God of Fire, God of Thunder, God of Earth and God of the Woods in the God of Light's pantheon alive. Eve the God of Light was killed in three shots by him without any ability to fight back!"

"He had butchered the Prime Gods, and he's not a godslayer? I'm telling you, he just can't be bothered killing you and me! Our level is just too low!"

"Makes sense."

The Sacred-level Magic Beasts all nodded.

"Thank goodness he left, and I hope he doesn't come back!"

The fatty looked outside of the hall, and suddenly roared. "Skyhowler, you damned cur, get over here!"

"My…my king!"

The Skyhowler scampered its way into the hall.

"Bloody hell, you almost got me killed today!"

The fatty slammed the table and glared at the Skyhowler. "Men, take it away. Clean it up and steam it. I want to eat dog meat today!"

"My… king! No…! You b*stard! You only whimper before others yet you brutalize me! Go to hell!"

Chapter 300: Empire of Magic, the Magic Academy

Ling Jiu came to the Magic Beast Forest was naturally not for a meal, but to look for the Nine-winged Snake.

According to the Nine-headed Snake, the Nine-winged Snake was sealed beneath the Magic Beast Forest.

Uder the Nine-headed Snake's lead, Ling Jiu quickly found the place where Nine-winged Snake was sealed.

Just like its name, the Nine-winged Snake had nine pairs of golden wings. Its body was golden red, as if made out of reddish gold, looking very powerful and domineering.

As the saying goes, when old friends met, tears are bound to flow, the Nine-headed Snake and the Nine-winged Snake had not seen each other for more than 5,000 years, and old friends were too shallow a descriptor for them.

The two actually hugged each other and cried out loud… leaving Ling Jiu speechless for a while.

After crying for a good while, the two behemoths calmed down a little.

"Kleis, let me introduce him to you!"

The Nine-headed Snake wiped the tears from the corner of its eyes before pointing at Ling Jiu as it said. "This is my current master, it was him who freed me."

The Nine-winged Snake looked at Ling Jiu directly. Before Ling Jiu spoke, it said. "Hurry up and set me free. I am willing to submit to you. I've enough of this forsaken place. As long as I am free, I am willing to do anything."

Although, since it was willing to submit, then there was no need to waste words. Ling Jiu enslaved the Nine-winged Snake and then released it.

"HAHAHAHA, I'm finally out!"

"I'm finally out!"

The escaped Nine-winged Snake was like the escaped Sun Wukong as it slammed towards the ground above its head.

"BOOOM—"

The hard ground broke like tofu as a massive gaping hole was blasted out.

The Nine-winged Snake dashed up all the way and finally broke through the surface to the world outside as it then flapped its wings and flew freely in the sky.

It had been down for far too long.

Sun Wukong was only suppressed under Mount Wuzhi for 500 years, and could still see the scenery outside, or eat the occasional peach, getting caught in the rain, taking a bird poo bomb, or the occasional chat with the shepherd boy.

Nine-winged Snake was different. It was sealed underground, and was sealed for a whole 5,000 years. The only thing it could look at was boiling magma, its environment far worse than Sun Wukong's.

One could imagine how excited it was once it was free!

After venting for a good while did the Nine-winged Snake finally calmed down, and then led Ling Jiu to the Magic Empire with the Nine-headed Snake.

The Nine-tailed Snake was sealed in the Magic Empire.

The Magic Emire was one of the four great empires of Auguland. It had very few soldiers, with almost all of them spellcasters.

Of course, nominally speaking, the so-called magicians are just a group of Arcanists with manipulation-type Arcanas.

After half an hour, the three arrived at Douglas City, the capital of the Magic Empire.

Unlike other empires on Auguland, the supreme ruler of the Magic Empire was not a king or an emperor, but the Douglas Academy of Magic.

As the magic academy founded by Douglas, the God of Magic, the Douglas Academy of Magic is the highest ruling institution of the empire, and the Chancellor was the top ruler of the nation.

At this moment, Douglas College, Chancellor's office.

The office was full of people. The Chancellor, the Deputy Chancellor and all of the top echelons of the academy were all there. Any one of them was a pillar of the empire.

But at this moment, the atmosphere in the office was rather solemn. No one spoke, no one said anything, some were silent and some were tapping on the table…

The atmosphere was very dour!

"Everyone, silence will not solve this problem."

After a long while, a gray-haired old man spoke slowly.

"The news coming from the Empire of Light and the Magic Beast Forest had shown that that outlander demon had rescued the Nine-headed Demon and the Nine-winged Demon. Their next goal is very obvious, the Nine-tailed Demon. We need to come up with a countermeasure."

"Chancellor, we all know his purpose, but what can we do? That guy killed even the God of Light." A Deputy Chancellor smiled bitterly.

The Chancellor fell silent again.

Yes, the other party had killed even the God of Light. What use was there even if they came up with a plan? In the face of absolute power, everything was in vain.

"Chancellor, can we do nothing like the beasts of the Magic Beast Forest, and allow that outlander demon to rescue the Nine-tailed Demon?"

A young man who had just been promoted to the leadership of the academy mustered up some courage to speak after seeing everyone keeping silent.

As soon as the words came out, the Chancellor and the others smiled bitterly at each other.

"What's the matter Chancellor, did I misspoke?"

The young man scratched his head, looking embarrassed.

"No, you did not."

The Chancellor smiled bitterly. "It's not that we had not thought of this before, but the problem is, for him to take the Nine-tailed Demon away, is impossible."

"Why is that so, Chancellor?"

The young man frowned hard. "Isn't the Nine-tailed Demon sealed under the academy? Why won't it work?"

The Headmaster smiled bitterly. "Because it's not there anymore!"

"Not there anymore?"

The young man was taken aback.

Knock, knock, knock–

There was a sudden knock on the door.

"Who's knocking on the door this time, don't they know we are discussing something important?"

One of the academy leaders murmured dissatisfiedly, and walked to the door to open it, and just as he was about to give the other party a few choice words, unexpectedly, a young man walked in.

Upon seeing this person, the Chancellor and several other academy leaders' expressions changed drastically as they stood up uncontrollably and looked at the youth with horror.

"Did you just said that the Nine-headed Snake is gone?"

The youth found a free spot to sit down as he frowned and looked at the Chancellor with a doubtful look. "What do you mean?"

"Sir…"

The Chancellor swallowed his saliva and said. "500 years ago, the Nine-headed Snake sealed underground were taken away by the God of Magic."

"Are you for real?"

The youth frowned. "You should know the price for lying to me."

"I dare not, no sir!"

The Chancellor said hurriedly. "It was indeed taken away by the God of Magic."

"Oh I see!"

The youth stood up. "You lot may go on with your business."

As he said that, he left the office.

DUSHHH!!

The Chancellor sat down on the chair, panting heavily with a frightened expression of one who had just escaped death on his face.

"Leoux, have you found where the God of Magic is at?" After leaving Douglas College, Ling Jiu flew to outer space.

The gods of this world all lived in the divine realm, and the so-called divine realms were mostly other planets.

But the specific one needed to be searched slowly, and in order to save trouble, Ling Jiu asked Leoux to start searching long ago.

"Ling Jiu, I wouldn't have known if I didn't search for it, but boy was I surprised."

Leoux sniggered and said. "I found a satellite of Auguland to be very interesting."

"What do you mean?"

Ling Jiu was surprised.

"Auguland has six satellites, and five of them are very normal, but the Gene Arcana on one, no, rather, the Dark Bio-energy on one of them is very rich."

Leoux continued. "The Dark Bio-energy concentration on that satellite is almost as good as White Hole 5. Won't you say it's pretty magical?"

"You mean to say…"

Ling Jiu's eyes lit up as he thought of a possibility.

"Your guess may likely be true."

Leoux laughed and said. "This satellite is like Ganymede in your Solar System. It must be connected to a planet close to a White Hole, so that the Dark Bio-energy can be so rich!"

"Lead the way, we'll rush over incognito."

"Understood!"

Under Leoux's guidance, Ling Jiu quickly came to outer space and then locked onto that star with Dark Bio-energy as he flew towards it.

Chapter 301: Edge of a Black Hole, Nine Years in One Second

With his level of cultivation, Ling Jiu could teleport tens of thousands of kilometers at a time. Thus, be it going to outer space or to the surrounding satellites, it was a simple matter.

After a short while, Ling Jiu arrived at the satellite that was particularly rich with Dark Bio-energy.

Of course, this planet was also the so-called divine realm, the place where the True Gods lived.

Standing in outer space and looking into the distance, the satellite appeared very beautiful, just like a blue crystal ball that floated quietly in space.

It was surrounded by white clouds and was verdant green with yellow spots in places. It also had a long river…

Clearly, this satellite, which was slightly larger than the Moon, had forests, rivers, deserts, grasslands, and other landforms, just like Earth.

"Can you feel it, Ling Jiu?"

Leoux also appeared next to Ling Jiu.

"I can't feel any Dark Bio-energy, but there are many powerful lifeforms on the planet, 11 of which are supergalactic lifeforms."

Ling Jiu's eyes flickered. "If we're not wrong. These 11 supergalactic beings are probably the 11 Prime Gods of Auguland."

"Yeah."

Leoux laughed. "Let's go and have a look."

"Yeah."

Ling Jiu took a step and instantly appeared on the surface of the satellite. The concentrated Dark Bio-energy was like viscous air, making Ling Jiu feel very comfortable.

Ling Jiu took a deep breath as he squinted and smiled. "For the Dark Bio-energy to be this rich, it is almost the same as Whitehole 3. I dare say that there is a wormhole on this planet, and a white hole is on the opposite end of that wormhole.

"That's what I thought as well."

Leoux nodded repeatedly.

"Leoux, can you locate that wormhole?" Ling Jiu asked again. "Let's go to the world on the other side of the wormhole to have a look, then search for the God of Magic."

"Got it! But it takes time to find the wormhole," Leoux responded.

"Then let's get on with it."

"Understood!"

Leoux's efficiency was very high, and just five minutes later, it found the wormhole. Ling Jiu did not dither and instantly Blinked to the front of the wormhole.

The location of this wormhole was somewhat special. It was not underground or beneath the sea but hidden inside a big mountain.

In a hollow space at the heart of the mountain, a colored sphere stood suspended there.

Ling Jiu could feel the rich Dark Bio-energy rushing out like a torrent from the wormhole and into the planet, adding to the satellite's Dark Bio-energy.

Ling Jiu did not hesitate, and he plunged into the wormhole. Soon, he arrived on the other side of the wormhole.

Just as in his previous encounters, there was another planet beyond the wormhole, but it was dark.

Yes, darkness.

The sky was dark.

The ground was dark.

More outrageously, there was no star, no moon, nothing at all. It was nothing but pitch blackness and emptiness.

"What a strange planet. There isn't even a single star in the sky."

Ling Jiu wondered. "Could the planet's atmosphere be more special, that it blocked off all of the light from the universe?"

Why were there no stars in the sky?

This was also because the vast majority of stars were stars proper. They would glow, and light would spread to Earth, hence one could see the stars.

It stood to reason that as long as a planet was suspended in space, one could definitely see the stars at night, but there were no stars on this planet.

"Ling Jiu, let's go to outer space to have a look," Leoux suddenly urged.

"Okay!"

Ling Jiu Blinked out of the planet's atmosphere and reappeared in the space outside it. When he saw what was there, Ling Jiu was stunned.

It was more darkness!

All he saw was darkness. There were no stars, no planets, nothing.

"Is this a lone star?"

Ling Jiu frowned deeply. "No it shouldn't be. Even if it is a lone star, you should still be able to see the galaxy. It's impossible to have nothing around."

Leoux did not speak. It still seemed to be calculating or detecting something. A good five minutes later, it suddenly shouted, "Ling Jiu, go back, now!"

"What's wrong?"

Ling Jiu paused for a moment.

"This planet is at the edge of a black hole! And the flow of time is 783,732 times faster than normal!" Leoux exclaimed.

"Every second you stay here, 783,720 seconds would have passed normally, or about 9 days!

"We have been on this planet for almost 5 minutes. If we change it to a normal, that is a whole seven years!"

Leoux urged, "Go back! Now! The longer we stay here, the more time will pass outside!"

"F*ck!" Ling Jiu cursed immediately. Without saying anything, he Blinked out of the planet and returned to the wormhole.

Woosh!!

Just as Ling Jiu prepared to enter the wormhole, a rip in the air thundered, and taken by surprise, Ling Jiu was struck instantly.

The strength of this attack was really terrifying, and Ling Jiu felt like he had been smashed by a heavy hammer. Instantly dazed, he flew back a few kilometers before stopping.

"Damn it!"

Ling Jiu shook his dizzy head as a cold glint appeared in his eyes, looking for the culprit who attacked him.

Although it was dark, his eyes could totally adapt to it, and he soon found the person who had attacked him.

The other party semed to have no intentions of hiding as it flew toward him once again. It turned out to be a horned creature with two black wings. Holding a black scythe, it resembled a demon very much.

"You dare to attack me? Die!" Ling Jiu roared in fury as he unleashed all of his strength and charged over. He then slammed his fist against his foe's head.

"Hehe, right where I want you!"

The demon-like creature howled as it swung the scythe in its hand at Ling Jiu.

Just as the scythe was about to touch Ling Jiu, he activated Time Stop.

Buzzz…

The black scythe froze in the air instantly, and the demon-like monster also froze where it stood.

"Die!" Ling Jiu yelled and slammed his fist into his foe's head. With a crack, the latter's head burst like a smashed watermelon.

The Time Stop ended, and the demon-shaped creature stopped moving after a brief struggle. Ling Jiu grabbed its corpse and teleported back to the wormhole before he plunged straight into it.

Wooosh!!

Rushing out of the wormhole, and back to the belly of the mountain, Ling Jiu heaved a sigh of relief. Nine days in one second, the time there was way too expensive.

He really could not afford to waste a single second.

"Leoux, what's the deal with that Dark Hole?" Ling Jiu asked solemnly.

He knew about black holes; they were celestial bodies with supermassive mass, density, and gravity.

What the hell was a Dark Hole?

"The so-called Dark Holes are ancient, invisible black holes that devoured all of their surrounding stars, satellites, debris, and light, causing the event horizon to disappear due to a lack of 'food' to consume," Leoux explained.

Ling Jiu nodded slightly. All black holes had an "aperture" around them, and that could be understood as the edge of a black hole.

After passing this aperture, light would not be able to escape and would be sucked in.

If light did not pass the aperture, light would be captured by the black hole's gravity, and it would then "circle" the black hole, forming the aperture.

This aperture was the Event Horizon.

However, if the stars around a black hole were swallowed, causing the light around the black hole to disappear, then the event horizon around the black hole would naturally disappear.

Without the aperture, the black hole would be invisible.

The truth was not difficult to understand.

"Although such a black hole is invisible, it still exists in the universe. It still has ultra-high density and gravity, causing the flow of time around it to be ultra-fast as well," Leoux said.

"Moreover, because of its age, it would have swallowed all of the surrounding matter that it could swallow. So, it would be supermassive with a rapid flow of time, just like this black hole."

Chapter 302: God Attack, a Godless World

"No wonder that planet has nothing. It turned out to be around a black hole."

Ling Jiu had no words. "But the time flow around the black hole is too fast. We have just been there for a while, and seven years have passed since then in the outside world."

"It is not seven but nine years," Leoux corrected him. "From the time we entered, to the time you were attacked, and finally came out, there was a total delay of about six minutes. That is equal to nine years in the outside world."

"Nine years?" Ling Jiu's face looked grim. "In other words, nine years have passed on Earth?"

"That's right," Leoux said.

"Hell knows if anything has happened after so long." Ling Jiu turned around and teleported to the outside of the cave. "Capture the god of magic and find out where the Nine-tailed Serpent is immediately after going out. We have got to return to Europa now."

"Understood."

Nine years was too long.

Before Ling Jiu came out, Bai Ya and his parents were still on Whitehole-2, where the flow of time was 99 times faster than that on Earth.

That was equal to 891 years on Whitehole-2.

891 years was a long time.

Ling Jiu could imagine how anxious Bai Ya and his family were. They were waiting for him, but he never returned.

So he had to return immediately.

But things do not always go as planned. When Ling Jiu got out of the cave, the gods hovering in the sky blocked his way.

Those towering figures floating in the air were monsters spewing flames all over their bodies, gods with golden armors, and humans wielding giant swords.

Thousands of figures from eight forces hovered above the top of the mountain, as if heavenly soldiers sent by heaven to arrest the demon monkey. Their supernatural power was hard to ignore. It spread in all directions and indiscriminately suppressed the living beings in the surroundings.

"That's a lot of gods there." Ling Jiu looked up at the gods of Auguland in the sky, the corners of his mouth curled up. "They look not too friendly, Leoux."

"They are indeed not too friendly this time," Leoux said. "The eight major deities, all eight Prime Gods and 4,982 True Gods are here. Of course, the other three Prime Gods of Auguland and miscellaneous gods and devils are also secretly watching in the dark. What are you going to do, Ling Jiu?"

"Let's see what they have to say."

Ling Jiu slowly rose into the air and came to the middle of the encirclement of the gods.

"How dare you, foreign evil, kill the gods of the Light deities unprovoked? This is absolutely heinous!" An elderly man surrounded by purple light, wearing a purple magic robe, and wielding a purple magic wand, glared at Ling Jiu, his voice sounding like rolling thunder. "Surrender now. Or else, I will kill you and destroy your soul!"

Ling Jiu looked at the elderly man. Leoux immediately introduced, "He is the Prime God of the gods."

"I have guessed it." Ling Jiu nodded.

"Foreign evil, on your knees and face judgement!"

A brawny man wearing golden armor and wielding a golden long sword pointed at Ling Jiu, his body giving out an indomitable fighting spirit.

"He is the god of war?" Ling Jiu cocked an eyebrow.

Leoux nodded slightly. "Yup. He is the Prime God of the Gods of War, a physical cultivation maniac."

"Foreign evil, you deserve to die." The person speaking was a fat man with an enormous belly. He had two golden tentacles on his forehead, his chubbiness making him look agreeable.

"He is the god of magic beasts. Just like the king of the magic beast's forest, he is also a Titan Golden Ant. His body attribute index is one hundred thousand times, compared to Emperor Might, who has only ten thousand times. He is more powerful than the junior warrior of the Saiyan Golden Apes," Leoux said.

"Not half bad at all." Ling Jiu exclaimed in admiration.

"We gods from the eight deities are joining hands now, foreign evil! You can't escape this time even if you have grown an extra pair of wings. Surrender immediately!"

"Time to talk is over. Let's kill him at once and free Auguland of this evil!"

"When was the last time the gods joined hands? It was five thousand years ago, right?"

Those gods were on the warpath. They would not let Ling Jiu go this time, as if they already had Ling Jiu by the throat.

"You want to kill me, he wants to kill me, and you all want to kill me." Ling Jiu was calm in facing the aggressive gods of Auguland. "Too bad that I have only one life. To whom should I give it?

"Foreign evil!" The god of magic said coldly. "Your existence seriously threatens Auguland. Peace will only return to Auguland when you die. Just kill yourself!"

"Heck!" Ling Jiu shook his head. "I have wanted to entertain you guys at first. But I'm sorry, my time is running out. So, I have no time for you all now."

"Huh?"

Those gods' brows were knitted together.

"I am sorry, your time is up," Ling Jiu said. "Clear out the place, Leoux."

"I have been waiting for this moment."

Leoux quacked, then the Leoux faded into a stream of black light and flew out of Ling Jiu's wrist into the air.

The next moment, a black light burst out of the Leoux.

Where the black light went, the dimension froze, the air solidified, and the gods hovering in mid-air, motionless, froze in place.

"What is going on?"

"I can't move!"

"Damn it! Move! Move!"

Those gods were in shock, disbelief filling their eyes. They struggled frantically with all their strength.

But it was all in vain.

Under the restraint of the black light, they could not even perform the simple action of mobilizing the dark bio-energy in their bodies, let alone breaking the void and getting away.

"Gods of Auguland!" Ling Jiu said. "You all control Auguland and treat the hundreds of millions of people here as pawns. You think you are above all and have control over everything. Yet you don't know that you are still the small fish in a big pond. When the osprey in the sky comes, this is the end of you all. I wish you all a happy life in the cage."

After Ling Jiu finished speaking, the black light shrank, and then returned to the Leoux in swarms like a homing swallow.

After the black light disappeared, the sky was clear again, but the eight gods had disappeared.

Disappeared forever.

"What about the remaining gods, Ling Jiu?" Leoux was talking about the three Prime Gods, and other gods and devils who were secretly watching in the dark.

"Go the extra mile." Ling Jiu glanced into the distance. "Let's do a good turn and restore Auguland into a godless world."

"Understood."

Before long, all the Prime Gods and deities watching in the dark were captured and held up into the Leoux.

"Let's go. It is time to return."

Ling Jiu returned to Auguland and found the wormhole through which he came. But when he got in, he was stunned by what he saw.

"Isn't Europa opposite the wormhole? Where is this place?"

Report chapter

Chapter 303: The Age of the Gods, Missing Family

Europa and Auguland were connected by a wormhole. It was through this wormhole that Ling Jiu came to Auguland.

So as long as he came to the wormhole, he could find his way back to Europa.

However, the fact was, Ling Jiu found that the wormhole was broken when he was only halfway into it.

He ended up emerging in the dark outer space. He looked around, and apart from a dim star in the far distance, there was nothing else in his field of vision.

"What's going on, Leoux?"

"It is very obvious. The wormhole connecting Europa and Auguland has been destroyed. The wormhole on Auguland's side is fine. So it was apparently destroyed on Europa's side." Leoux smiled. "If I'm not mistaken, it the Merpeople's elders did this. They wanted to exile you."

"Exile me?"

Ling Jiu put two and two together. No wonder the elders of the Merpeople dared to rebel against the Merqueen and installed a new one, and no wonder the new Merqueen went into the wormhole when she saw him. It turned out that all this was a conspiracy of the elders of the Merpeople.

Their purpose was to lure him to Auguland and then destroy the wormhole, exiling him on Auguland forever.

"Hmph! These guys are really insidious," Ling Jiu sneered. "Had this happened to others, those people would not have been able to return to Europa anymore, and their plot would have succeeded."

"That's for sure," Leoux said. "I've just run some calculations. Europa and Auguland are nineteen thousand light-years apart. If this were to happen to other people, they would never be able to go back to Europa for the rest of their life, given the distance."

Nineteen thousand light-years were anything but near.

At Ling Jiu's current speed and sprinting with all his strength without creating a wormhole, he could easily break the speed of the third universe, which was 16.7km/s.

This speed was incredible, but it was still insignificant for the distance of 19,000 light-years.

He would not be able to return to the solar system even after flying for 100,000 years.

However, it was a shame that Ling Jiu could not only create wormholes but also own the Leoux. It was not a challenge for him at all to return to the solar system.

"I'll beat those old f*gs' a*es when I return." Ling Jiu snorted. "Return at full speed, Leoux."

"You got it."

The Leoux opened a dimensional tunnel and vanished into it in an instant.

Opening a wormhole in space was as simple as teleporting for a spacecraft of the Leoux's level.

Four hours later, Leoux's voice came. "We are near Jupiter's orbit, and will be on Europa in a few minutes, Ling Jiu."

"Go back to Earth first. We'll come back for them later." As much as Ling Jiu wanted to return to Europa and kill those old fags, he was worried about his family. So he held back his anger.

"You got it."

Saying nothing further, Leoux flew toward Earth at full speed and entered Earth's vicinity in no time.

Ling Jiu tucked away the Leoux, then teleported back to the Earth's surface, appearing in the sky over Lantian Base City.

He frowned in an instant upon seeing Lantian Base city—it was gone.

The tall city wall had been completely destroyed, its surface broken as if some giant Direbeasts had torn it apart and left behind many breaches.

The base city was in ruin. The streets were full of vehicles, countless bodies, and stones piling up on the streets, which suggested a brutal battle had happened.

The entire base city had become a dead city, quiet, with no signs of life.

A chilly wind was blowing trash up in the air, and there were bodies of Direbeasts all over the place.

"Lantian Base City is gone." Ling Jiu was shocked.

When he transmigrated to Lantian Base City, he carried with him the memories of his past. To him, Lantian Base City was his home, which had a very distinct meaning in his life. He would not hesitate to sacrifice his life for it.

Yet, now, Lantian Base City was gone.

"What really happened?" Ling Jiu suppressed his anger. "Find out what happened, Leoux."

"You got it," Leoux unequivocally responded and started investigating. Meanwhile, Ling Jiu scanned Lantian Base City with his mental power to try to find some clues.

Unfortunately, he found nothing.

"I found something, Ling Jiu," Leoux said after five minutes.

"What happened to this place?" Ling Jiu quickly asked. "What about my family? How are they?"

"It is a long story. I will talk slowly while you listen calmly. Remember, don't get angry because anger will not help," Leoux said.

Ling Jiu's heart sank when he heard that. "Just tell me."

"Things started five years ago," Leoux said. "On December 25, 2057, a god was born on Mount Olympus in Greece. He claimed to be the god of war, Ares."

"The Greek deities have emerged?" Ling Jiu squinted.

Before this, there had already been five major pantheons on Earth, namely the Aztec, Mayan, Andean, Japanese, and Norse deities that emerged recently.

Other pantheons had not come into being at that time. Little did Ling Jiu expect that he would see the Greek pantheon born after he was away for nine years.

"Indeed, the Greek pantheon has been born." Leoux nodded. "But Greek deities are a bit too powerful. Just Ares, the god of war, alone defeated all stellar beings on Earth. Even Emperor Might, who practiced for three hundred years on Whitehole 2, was no match for the formidable Ares. He single-handedly beat all the stellar beings and suppressed the major countries. After that, he announced the birth of the Greek pantheon. Southern European countries were the first to bear the brunt of the attack. The Greek deities led by Zeus, the king of the gods, carried out a bloody massacre of the southern European countries surrounding Greece. Over twenty southern European countries were wiped out, countless Arcanists died, and as many as eighteen stellar beings were killed in battles. It is worth mentioning that with Whitehole 2, the stellar beings on Earth have gained explosive improvement in strength. As of five years ago, there were as many as one hundred and twenty stellar beings on Earth. But eighteen of them have died since the birth of the Greek gods."

"And?" Ling Jiu asked in a low voice.

"Southern Europe returned to the era of anarchy overnight. At this time, the Greek gods have started to preach the return of the gods to the world. Plus, some corporations, capitalists, and aspirants have surrendered. Europe is under the rule of the Greek gods now," Leoux said. "This is Southern Europe. Meanwhile, Northern Europe is not much better. Less than a month after the birth of the Greek gods, the Norse gods were born too. The Norse gods are no less powerful than the Greek gods. Led by Odin, the king of the gods, the Norse gods are ruthless. They launched a genocide in the Nordic countries and placed over twenty Nordic countries under their rule. Following the Greek and Norse gods, the Egyptian, Persian, Hindu, the suppressed Mayan, and Japanese gods have all appeared. Earth has plunged into chaos in the blink of an eye upon the arrival of the gods' era."

"What about my family?" Ling Jiu asked.

"They are missing."

Chapter 304: Element Decay, the Wormhole Has Been Destroyed

His family was indeed missing.

After the Greek, Norse, Egyptian, and many other gods had been born, they had all set their sights on Huaxia.

With a vast landmass, abundant resources, and a ton of talents, Huaxia had more than just the largest population. It was also the undisputed number one superpower in the world.

The strange thing was when the gods had been born in all countries and places in the world, there had been none in Huaxia. In other words, Huaxia had been a country without religion.

A large country with no religion was like a delicious big fat sheep. All of the gods had hoped to bring Huaxia under their rule, making it their territory of faith.

As a result, those gods had attacked Huaxia. Stellar beings like Emperor Might had tried their best to defend Huaxia despite being relatively weaker.

Even Ling Jiu's family had also participated in the war.

It was a pity that the gods had been too powerful for them.

The two sides were not in the same league. The gods had ultimately defeated the powerhouses and jointly invaded Huaxia.

If it had not been for the high-tech weapons that the Huaxia government had developed at the last moment, Huaxia would have ended up like Europe and Africa.

"Where did Huaxia get its secret weapons from?" Ling Jiu was puzzled. "Even the stellar beings were no match for the gods. So what secret weapon could have stopped the aggressive gods?"

"Do you remember the Ayang-Braend people?" Leoux reminded him.

"The Ayang-Braend people?" Ling Jiu put two and two together. "You mean…"

"After acquiring the Ayang-Braend's technology, countries around the world mobilized many scientists and scientific research-type Arcanists to conduct research on the Ayang-Braend's technology. Among them, Huaxia and the United States conducted the most thorough study," Leoux said. "You know, the individual strength of Ayang-Braend people is actually not strong, just about that of an ordinary stellar being. Their ability to conquer a large part of the galaxy and hold their own against the aliens is because of technology."

Ling Jiu nodded.

"I told you before that the Ayang-Braends have attained the super-clustered civilization. They are quite familiar with element decay technology, energy shield technology, energy recoil propulsion navigation technology, and warp drive," Leoux said.

" A super-clustered civilization is a watershed. The output limit of energy weapons is very high. Elemental decay weapons can turn the entire planet into energy, powerful enough to blow up a small planet. Huaxia people are very competitive, and they cracked the elemental decay technology, developing elemental decay missiles. They were only the first generation of elemental decay missiles, and there were still many flaws, but it gave them the ability to challenge the super-clustered beings."

"That makes so much sense now." Ling Jiu nodded.

"Thanks to the elemental decay missiles, the menacing gods had to leave Huaxia alone, albeit reluctantly. But to vent their anger, they started to hunt down the stellar beings of Huaxia, as well as attack remote small and medium-sized base cities," Leoux said. "There were many gods, and they fanned out in their attack. Huaxia could do nothing else other than defend itself. Many stellar beings of Huaxia disappeared to evade the pursuit of the gods. It was under such circumstances that your family disappeared."

At least, they were not dead.

Ling Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. "Do you know where they've gone?"

"I don't know where they've gone." Leoux shook its head. "Maybe they've gone to Whitehole 2, another planet, or they're hiding elsewhere."

"Let's check out Whitehole 2 first," Ling Jiu said. "They have most likely gone to Whitehole 2."

"I don't think so," Leoux said. "Ever since the gods' birth and their show of ruthless power, many people on Earth, including some stellar beings, have defected to the gods' side. It is impossible for the gods to not know about Whitehole 2."

Ling Jiu's heart skipped a beat.

Ordinary people were not qualified to go to Whitehole 2, but all stellar beings on Earth went there to practice self-cultivation every other week.

News of Whitehole 2's existence might have leaked out when those stellar beings defected.

"Your earlier suggestion may be correct, Leoux." Ling Jiu took a deep breath. "Different people have different minds. We can't give the books of the laws to everyone for self-cultivation before we vet them."

"This time is a good litmus test," Leoux said. "You can see who is loyal, who is a traitor, who is a coward, who is selfish, and who is selfless and worth nurturing."

"That's right."

Ling Jiu then arrived on Mars.

The tremendous changes on Earth had also implicated Mars. The most obvious effect was that there was no one on Mars now.

The Ultimate Matriculation Camp stationed on Mars was empty. Not a soul was there. Mars had once again become uninhabited.

However, the terraforming of Mars did not stop.

The six wormholes connecting Ganymede still kept pumping water continuously.

Most of the surface of Mars had become a vast ocean after ten years. Appearance-wise, Mars was becoming a reduced version of Earth.

The super Arcana trees were growing rapidly on Mars because the seawater contained strong Dark Bio-energy.

So, there were patches of forest dotting the surface of Mars, giving the red and blue planet a hint of green.

"There is now enough seawater on Mars after ten years of irrigation," Leoux said. "The next thing to do is to grow algae and plants on a large scale so that they can produce oxygen. With the current climate, temperature, light, and concentration of Gene Arcana on Mars, growing plants will be very simple."

"Unfortunately, things have happened, and the Ultimate Matriculation Camp, as well as Mars' terraforming team, have withdrawn. Otherwise, Mars would have already become a green planet." Ling Jiu's face was grave.

"Absolutely. Everything has been put on hold for the time being due to the emergence of the gods." Leoux nodded.

"Let's go to Ganymede."

To Ling Jiu's relief, the wormhole to Ganymede was still intact. So, the two arrived at Ganymede without a hitch.

However, when the two came to the wormhole that led to Whitehole 3, Ling Jiu's mood abruptly took a plunge.

The wormhole that led to Whitehole 3 had been destroyed.

It meant they could no longer go to Whitehole 2 via the wormhole that connected to Whitehole 3.

"Who destroyed the wormhole?" Ling Jiu asked in a deep voice.

"Probably the gods, or the stellar beings of Earth," Leoux said. "I guess it was most likely the stellar beings who did this. They destroyed the wormhole to stop the gods from pursuing them."

"The wormhole has been destroyed, hence the passage connecting the two planets has been interrupted. It will be difficult for the gods to chase them down.

"But it also means that it will be difficult for them to return to Earth."

Ling Jiu clenched his fists. "They wouldn't have done this if they had other options."

"Exactly." Leoux nodded.

"Go to Whitehole 2 immediately, Leoux," Ling Jiu said.

"No problem, but Whitehole 2 is far away from the solar system, about 2.78 million light-years. It will take a few days."

"Go, now."

Chapter 305: Soul Nebula, Holy Land for Self-Cultivation

Traveling to distant space was just a piece of cake for the Leoux, but 2.78 million light-years was still too far a distance.

The distance was so great that it took the Leoux a few days to reach its destination.

While the Leoux flew in the vacuum of space, Ling Jiu approached the self-cultivation room.

There were many self-cultivation rooms aboard the Leoux, and they were divided into five levels:

Primary self-cultivation rooms.

Intermediate self-cultivation rooms.

Advanced self-cultivation rooms.

Primary self-cultivation rooms.

Premier self-cultivation rooms.

Special self-cultivation rooms.

There was a rich concentration of Dark bio-energy in the self-cultivation room, and cultivators could access the book of laws at any time, making self-cultivation highly effective.

Of course, the greatest value of the self-cultivation rooms lay in the flow of time.

As the top bio-energy civilization in the universe, the Emissian civilization was still in the early stages of studying the Law of Time. Nonetheless, it could completely control time locally.

Just like being around a white hole, the flow of time in the self-cultivation rooms at each level was different. The primary level was the slowest, the special level was the fastest, and the special level had the best self-cultivation effect.

As the owner of the Leoux, Ling Jiu could enter the special self-cultivation room. He was in no hurry to practice self-cultivation.

Instead, he looked into himself, letting his mind sink into the sea of consciousness.

The Soul Collecting Array was still absorbing an enormous amount of dark psionic energy as a massive soul nebula formed around the Kindle of the Soul.

How large was the soul nebula?

Ling Jiu's estimate was that it was at least tens of thousands of kilometers in radius. Such a massive soul nebula had naturally accumulated an enormous amount of dark psionic energy.

Even so, Ling Jiu knew that this was not enough.

In Leoux's words, the size of the soul nebula should be at least be dozens or hundreds of light-years in diameter.

Therefore, Ling Jiu needed to work hard.

"I just captured the gods of Auguland. If I can extract their souls, smash them into the purest dark psionic energy, and absorb them, my soul nebula will undergo a tremendous change in a short time."

He told Leoux about his thoughts, and Leoux immediately smiled. "I have been so busy recently and almost forgot about that guy. Do you remember the Evogod we caught earlier on Whitehole 4?"

Ling Jiu still remembered the Evogod guy on Whitehole 4. That guy had used Mind Manipulation to control all of the living beings on Whitehole 4. Its soul was outrageously powerful.

Back then, Leoux had suggested that Ling Jiu break up the Evogod and absorb its soul to help him practice the Eight Methods of Black Hole Evolution. However, Leoux had been too busy recently and had forgotten about the matter.

"Nevertheless, I've thrown the Evogod's soul into the shredder and crushed it into powder," Leoux said. "Should I send the pulverized soul into the self-cultivation room now?"

"Send it in." There was no reason for Ling Jiu to refuse.

"You got it."

After a while, a steady stream of soul fragments was sent into the self-cultivation room.

Ling Jiu could feel it although he could not see it. He activated Devourer immediately and sent the soul fragments into his Inner World.

The Inner World immediately swung into action and started the conversion process.

As the soul fragments were converted into a steady stream of dark psionic energy and sent into his sea of consciousness, the soul nebula expanded rapidly.

One thousand kilometers…

Five thousand kilometers…

Eight thousand kilometers.

The soul of the Evogod was incredibly powerful.

Its Eight Methods of Black Hole Evolution had reached the second stage, so the dark psionic energy in its soul fragments was incredibly rich.

Absorb…

Convert…

A massive amount of dark psionic energy continued to pour into the sea of consciousness.

The soul nebula was ballooning.

Ling Jiu asked Leoux to maximize the flow of time in the self-cultivation room so that he could complete the soul fragment absorption before he reached Whitehole 2.

The time flow ratio was 1: 100, which meant that a day on the outside was equal to 100 days in the self-cultivation room.

Time passed, and after Ling Jiu spent nearly two years in the self-cultivation room, soul fragments stopped pouring in. As he devoured the last soul fragment and allowed his mind to sink into the sea of consciousness, the scene in front of him shocked him.

The silverish soul nebula was so massive that he could not see its edges at a glance. He could not tell exactly how massive it was.

The long and short of it was the soul nebula was massive.

The soul nebula was akin to a giant, filling up the boundless, empty sea of consciousness. Now, the sea of consciousness was no longer empty.

"This is my soul nebula?"

He did not know the extent of the soul nebula, but he could feel the incredibly rich dark psionic energy in it.

It was absolutely incredible.

Each cubic centimeter contained thousands or even tens of thousands of dark psionic particles.

Leoux's voice rang out all of a sudden. "I guess, you must have absorbed all of the Evogod's soul fragments, Ling Jiu?"

"Yeah," Ling Jiu replied.

"I've run a calculation. The converted soul of the Evogod is equivalent to ten soul stellar units of dark psionic energy. The ten soul stellar units are enough to reach the Eight Methods of Black Hole evolution's second stage of cultivation. It is the minimum standard for forming a Soul Primordial Star, but I don't recommend that you do it."

"You want me to continue to accumulate dark psionic energy to expand the soul nebula?" Ling Jiu understood what Leoux meant.

"You bet," Leoux said. "Just like there are big and small stars in the universe, the Soul Primordial Stars have different sizes too. The Soul Primordial Stars of some Evogods are ordinary, with the mass size of one soul star unit. Some Soul Primordial Stars of the Evogods are extremely large, with the mass of hundreds or even thousands of soul stars. The larger the Soul Primordial Star, the stronger the soul and the greater the potential. So my suggestion for you is, don't rush into forming the Soul Primordial Star. You should focus on accumulating the soul nebula first. Haven't we wiped out the gods of Auguland? There are eleven super-clustered and over five thousand galactic beings. Their souls are not as powerful as that of the Evogods, but they can provide you with a lot of dark psionic energy."

"I'll just do as you say," Ling Jiu said. "By the way, after crushing their souls, let the Nine-tailed Serpent and Nine-winged Serpent choose a body each. I will devour the rest."

"Understood."

"How long before we reach Whitehole 2, Leoux?"

"About three days."

"All right."

Three days on the outside would be equal to 300 days in the self-cultivation room. Ling Jiu had plenty of time. So, he shifted his attention from the sea of consciousness to the floating island.

He had been busy moving around all this while. He had not devoured the asteroids for quite some time. The floating island had expanded little, and it was still about 14 million square kilometers in size.

However, the gardeners had not been sitting idly by.

Those brainwashed Kryptonians were still conscientiously planting super Arcana trees, and the forest continued to expand.

Ling Jiu ran a little calculation.

There had been an increase of nearly 10 million super Arcana trees, and the total number of super Arcana trees had reached a staggering 440 million.

How much more could 440 million super Arcana trees produce if the Dark Bio-energy produced by 360 million super arcana trees was enough for Ling Jiu to form a Stellar Core every day?

Since Ling Jiu had not been consuming it, the Dark Bio-energy concentration on the floating island had reached an astonishing level. White mist and clear lakes, as well as rivers, were everywhere.

They were of liquified Dark Bio-energy.

Right then, the floating island was a real holy land for self-cultivation. Even a pig could become a stellar being in a few years by doing nothing.

"As great as the floating island is, it is uninteresting."

Report chapter

Chapter 306: One Thousand Years Later, the Three Major Pantheons

The floating island was indeed uninteresting apart from the super Arcana trees' presence. That was the only thing that stood out!

Then, there was Sapling Ling and the over 300 Kryptonians.

So, Ling Jiu wondered about adding a little liveliness to the floating island by introducing some animals.

Ling Jiu was not afraid of the animals absorbing and reducing the Dark Bio-energy.

Even if the animals could attain some level of cultivation, he could crush them with just a thought and retake the Dark Bio-energy.

"I will get some animals in from now on."

Three days had passed since then, and the Leoux finally arrived at Whitehole 2.

It felt like a lifetime ago when he last returned to this planet. He could not help but feel that way even though he had just been there a month ago.

"Have you found them, Leoux?"

"I have. They are all here on this planet, and the many stellar beings are with them too."

Ling Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. All he needed to know was that his family was safe.

"Let's go down there."

Ling Jiu teleported to the surface of the planet silently. Nothing had changed on Whitehole 2; the forest was thriving, and the Direbeasts were roaring.

It was wild and primitive.

Ling Jiu used Dimensional Peering and quickly discovered his family's situation. It startled him when he found that they all had become galactic beings.

Bai Ya was a Level 6 galactic.

Ling'er was a Level 4 galactic.

Meanwhile, his parents were a Level 2 galactics.

Even Xiaotong, who had awakened her ability last, was now a Level 1 galactic.

The most stunning of all was Wukong. He was a Level 3 super-cluster being.

Ling Jiu was as guilty as he was shocked because they did not become powerful for no reason—it only showed that they had been practicing self-cultivation for a long time.

"This is…" Bai Ya, who was practicing self-cultivation inside a maglev airship, opened her eyes and looked up at the sky all of a sudden.

She was so powerful now that she could have been a True God on Auguland.

Coupled with her Mimeograph Arcana, the accumulation of Dark Bio-energy, and the comprehension of the Law of Destruction, she had extremely keen senses.

She had sensed it the moment Ling Jiu appeared. Ling Jiu's smell was all too familiar to her.

She could definitely smell that it was him.

She was slightly trembling, her eyes welling up at once, and tears started to slip out of her eyes.

It was tears of emotion and happiness.

She missed Ling Jiu so much.

1,000 years. It had been 1,000 years.

God knows how she came through all these years. Worries and the missing of him had been tormenting her. She had forced herself to practice self-cultivation so that she could stop missing him. And it took her only 1,000 years to become a Level-6 galactic being.

The God of Light, the God of magic, and others in Auguland would have been embarrassed of themselves had they seen such an amazingly quick self-cultivation.

Bai Ya lunged out and came in front of Ling Jiu. At this moment, her longing for him building up inside her all these years burst through her emotional dam in an instant.

She wept bitterly as she threw herself into Ling Jiu's arms.

"Where have you been? Why did you only come back now? Why did you only come back now?"

Bai Ya cried and punched Ling Jiu's chest. As much as she was a powerful galactic being, her punches felt like tickles to him.

She was angry, emotional. But she could not bring herself to hit him hard.

He hugged her tightly in his arms, sniffing the fragrance of her hair, feeling an unprecedented peace of mind. He had a thousand words to tell her but all that were condensed into just, "I am sorry."

After crying her heart out, she finally calmed down. She got out of Ling Jiu's arms, looked at him, and then planted her lips onto his.

"I want it."

Eight hours later, they both collapsed.

Bai Ya leaned on Ling Jiu and gently stroked his chest. "Where have you been in the past one thousand years, Honey?"

"One thousand years?" Ling Jiu was stunned. He then remembered that the six minutes he spent on the planet on the edge of the black hole was equivalent to 891 years in the outside world. He had also spent some time in Auguland and then gone back to Earth before coming to Whitehole-2.

That added up to 1,000 years on Whitehole-2.

"I went to a place called Auguland," Ling Jiu said. "Speaking of which, it was funny. At first, I went to Europa. When I was there, the elders of Merpeople tricked me, exiling me to Auguland. And in Auguland, I accidentally traveled to a planet on the edge of a black hole."

Bai Ya's heart skipped a beat when she heard what he said. "Nine days per second. Nine years have since passed on Earth in just six seconds. The universe is truly amazing."

"It sure is." Ling Jiu sighed. "Now I have finally experienced what it is like when people wake up from a nap in heaven and find that a thousand years have passed on Earth. When I hurried back, Earth was no longer the Earth I knew."

"How is Earth now?"

Bai Ya asked. It had been 500 years since she left Earth. She had not heard news about Earth since then, and so she was concerned.

"Things are terrible." Ling Jiu shook his head. "The major pantheons are born. Except for Huaxia and America, which remain independent, other countries have fallen into the hands of the gods."

"I knew it," Bai Ya said quietly. "Back then, the gods were menacing, especially the Norse, Greek, and Egyptian gods. They were extremely powerful, and the world needed to gather all their strengths to fight back. We are no match for them when they all come at once."

"Not forgetting the minor gods, too. They are having a field day on Earth. We simply can't fight them."

"The most disappointing thing is that people are not united." Bai Ya sounded angry. "When the gods first appeared, everyone—be it the stellar beings or the governments—were still united. But as Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, and other European countries fell into the hands of the Greek and Norse gods, many stellar beings and corporations turned their backs against humanity. That was the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing us to fall into the defensive."

"We will only know who our genuine friends are in a time of adversity. There is no shortage of weathercocks, nothing to be surprised about." Ling Jiu shook his head.

"Later, the government developed a super weapon that could threaten the gods. They finally retreated, albeit reluctantly. But that also angered them more. So they hunted down the stellar beings on Earth. Some escaped, some killed. We have nowhere to go but to flee to this place."

Ling Jiu's eyes looked icy. He could completely feel from her words the despair that Bai Ya and others were experiencing back then. They were helpless and pursued by a group of galactic and super-clustered beings.

All they could do was live like a coward, leave their homes, no matter how reluctant they were.

"Now I'm back. I don't care if they are gods or weathercocks, trash like them should return to where they come from." Ling Jiu's voice was bitter.

"I don't mean to pour cold water on your fervent spirit, but those gods are really powerful, especially the Greek, Norse, and Egyptian gods. They are incredibly nasty," Bai Ya said. "You have got to think twice before you take on them. I don't want you to put yourself in danger for the sake of revenge."

Chapter 307: I'm Back, Time for Vengeance

Bai Ya was aware of the power of the gods from the battle five hundred years ago.

Therefore, she did not want Ling Jiu to take risks.

She could see that Ling Jiu was still a stellar lifeform. How could he contend with the gods of the three major pantheons?

As the two of them had been together for a long time, their minds were in sync. Hence, by looking into her eyes, Ling Jiu knew exactly what Bai Ya was thinking.

He realized that his girl had underestimated him. 'Well, this is understandable since I am indeed a stellar lifeform, not even a galactic lifeform.'

Bai Ya did not want him to take risks with this kind of superficial strength.

"My dear, do you know how Auguland—the place that I visited this round—is like?" Ling Jiu asked with a smile.

Bai Ya shook her head.

"Auguland is also a world dominated by gods!"

"There are dozens of pantheons, from small to large ones. In total, there are thousands of gods. Eleven of them are the Prime Gods with the strength comparable to super-clustered lifeform's. As for gods with the strength of galactic lifeforms, there are about four to five thousand of them!" Ling Jiu said smilingly."

"Eleven super-clustered lifeforms?" Bai Ya's facial expression changed. "That is just too powerful!"

Although the stellar-level bigshots from Earth were badly battered as they were hunted by the gods from three major pantheons, they did at least gain something from it.

They knew the pantheons' strength very well!

There were three ranks in a pantheon: the True God, the Prime God and the King of Gods

The strength of the True God was more or less the same as of the galactic lifeform.

The Prime God had reached the pinnacle of galactic lifeform.

Although none of them had faced the Kings of Gods before, Bai Ya guessed that their strength was definitely the same as super-clustered lifeform's since their rank was above the Prime Gods!

However, she could not tell how strong they were, to be exact.

"There are eleven kings of gods at Auguland? Four to five thousand True Gods and Prime Gods? Just how terrifying is this strength?"

"The strength of the pantheons of Auguland is terrifying. And that is exactly why the Merpeople elders exiled me to Auguland. They thought that I would get stranded there forever, or perhaps even get killed by the gods and buried there!"

Ling Jiu smiled. "But it's a pity that before I left, I had wiped out all the gods in Auguland!"

"What?" Bai Ya was shocked. "You've wiped out all the gods in Auguland?"

"Yes!" Ling Jiu nodded. "They are still confined in the battleship Leoux now!"

"D*mn!" Bai Ya could not help but swear.

"So, you don't have to worry about my safety. No matter how strong the gods of the three major pantheons are, can they surpass the gods on Auguland?"

Ling Jiu crackled. "I'll ask Leoux to open the wormhole between Auguland and Earth, and let's go there later!"

"Sure!" Bai Ya nodded repeatedly, tears flickering in her eyes. She was very excited.

In the past thousand years, Bai Ya and the rest had practiced cultivation at Whitehole-2 like they were before. However, the situation was different from the time back then. Previously, they had come to Whitehole-2 on their own initiative. But now, they did so because they had been chased out of Earth like stray dogs.

The meaning was completely different!

They all wanted to go back for vengeance!

They all wanted to return to Earth!

However, all that they yearned for could only become a wild wish because the wormhole had been destroyed.

Now, Bai Ya saw the hope of returning to Earth!

The two of them then spent some intimate time together for a while before meeting Ling Jiu's family.

When Ling Jiu's parents—Yang Su and Ling Tianci—saw Ling Jiu, they burst into tears. Ling Tianci shouted in Ling Jiu's face, "You rascal, you still know to come back! Do you have any idea how long we've been waiting for you?"

"Dad, I was wrong. I promise that this won't happen again!" Ling Jiu cried and laughed at the same time.

"I will break your legs if you do it again!" Ling Tianci scolded his son with teary eyes.

"There will be no next time!" Ling Jiu smiled bitterly.

"Brother!"

Ling'er and Xiaotong ran into Ling Jiu's arms and began to cry.

Ling Jiu had not seen his younger sisters for a thousand years. Both of them had grown into beautiful ladies. Not only did they not age a bit, they had become more mature and sexy.

As galactic lifeforms, they had a life span of ten thousand years. A thousand years was only one tenth of it. If their age were to be converted to ordinary human years, they would be ten years old at most.

The family reunion was a truly happy event. After having some small talks, Ling Jiu's family asked him his whereabouts in the past thousand years, and he let them know everything.

Like how Bai Ya had reacted earlier, his family was shocked. Ling'er said in disbelief, "Brother, there are so many gods in Auguland yet you managed to catch them all?"

"Of course!"

"Brother, you're amazing!"

Xiaotong was excited, her eyes sparkling with little stars. "Since you are this strong, Brother, can we return to Earth?"

"Of course!" Ling Jiu gave an affirmative nod.

"Great! We can finally go back!" All of them were very happy. They had never forgotten their home planet—Earth, even after staying at Whitehole-2 for a thousand years.

It was their forever home!

"We must retaliate fiercely when we go back this time and make those pompous gods face their end!" Ling'er said angrily.

"Don't worry, I shall avenge every single atrocity they committed!" Ling Jiu responded smilingly with cold eyes.

"Brother Ling, I heard you are back!"

Suddenly, a voice filled with pleasant surprise came from outside the hall. And the next moment a bald guy and a serious looking middle-aged man rushed into the hall. It was Vulcan and Emperor Might.

Behind them was a group of people. These people were all the bigshots from Earth. There were more than 40 of them.

"Brother Vulcan!"

"Chairman!"

"Everyone!"

Ling Jiu greeted each of them.

"You are back for real!" Vulcan was so excited, he immediately gave Ling Jiu a big hug.

"I was so worried. I haven't seen you for a long time. I thought that something might have happened to you! It's good that you are back now!"

"Ling Jiu, welcome back!" Emperor Might was an outwardly cold but inwardly warm-hearted person. Therefore, despite being excited too, he did not say much.

Ling Jiu's return was a joyous occasion.

After that, instead of going back for cultivation training, all of them had a long chat in Ling Jiu's airship.

They talked about Ling Jiu's experience over the past thousand years, what happened to Earth back then, their cultivation training, and their plans to return to Earth.

After a thousand years, everyone's strength had improved greatly!

All the bigshots from Earth desperately wanted to return to their homeland and take vengeance. Hence, they had given up the course of evolving a perfect stellar system and chosen to evolve an ordinary stellar system instead.

As a result, they could make great improvement in short period.

Among the bigshots, Emperor Might and Vulcan had attained the pinnacle of galactic lifeform.

And the rest—almost all of them—had grown into galactic lifeforms.

In other words, all the 43 stellar-level bigshots who had retreated to Whitehole-2 together back then were now galactic lifeforms!

"Brother Ling, now that you are back, when shall we return to Earth?"

Vulcan was impatient; he could not wait to ask. He had been aware of Ling Jiu's remarkable feat in Auguland for some time, and he was clear about Ling Jiu's strength. So he eagerly wanted to go back to take revenge.

Others were also looking at Ling Jiu with anticipation in their eyes. Earth was their homeland. No matter how long and how far they wandered away from it, they should eventually go back.

"I want to return to Earth soon too!" Ling Jiu replied with a resigned sigh, "But Earth is too far away from Whitehole-2. So it will take some time to create a wormhole, not just one or two days. So please be patient!"

Report chapter

Chapter 308: Divine Assembly, Alliance of Gods

Ling Jiu was no longer anxious after he confirmed that his family was safe.

When Leoux was making progress in creating Whitehole-2-Earth wormhole, Ling Jiu started to assimilate the fruit of a thousand years of training from his twenty duplicates.

It was worth mentioning that when Ling Jiu went to Auguland, the twenty duplicates he left at Whitehole-2 had been practicing cultivation for a thousand years.

Ten duplicates had studied the law of dimension.

Another ten duplicates had formed arcana gene cores.

There was a clear division of duties where each of them performed their roles.

Ling Jiu assimilated the arcana gene cores from the duplicates first. After he had done merging with the ten duplicates, his cultivation level jumped from Class 9 Stellar to Class 9 Galactic.

A stellar lifeform undertook the course to evolve a stellar system. When the goal was achieved, the stellar lifeform would have a successful breakthrough and become a Class 1 galactic lifeform.

In a galactic lifeform's cultivation training, the objective was to continue to evolve more stellar systems. Every additional stellar system would allow advancement to one class higher!

For example, Bai Ya, who was now at Class 6 Galactic, must have already evolved five stellar systems on top of her first stellar system.

Another way to put it was that the number of stellar systems evolved would determine the class of galactic lifeform.

Ling'er was at Class 4 Galactic, which meant she had already evolved a total of four stellar systems within her elixir field.

Ling Jiu's parents were at Class 2 Galactic, which meant they had done evolving two stellar systems in their elixir fields.

After Ling Jiu merged with ten duplicates, there was a total of nine perfect stellar systems in his elixir field. Therefore, he was now a Class 9 galactic lifeform!

Adding all up, he had a total of 81 stellar cores, 6,561 planetary cores, and 43,046,721 satellite-level cores in his elixir field!

9 stellar systems!

Not to mention that they were all perfect stellar systems!

Ling Jiu's state of cultivation had advanced to the point of exaggeration!

Next, Ling Jiu merged with the remaining ten duplicates who studied the laws of dimension.

When all the ten duplicates were assimilated, Ling Jiu felt that his comprehension of the law of dimension had reached a whole new level. It was because he had successfully grasped the law of one-dimensional space.

There were several stages involved in The Emissian Civilization's learning of the law of dimension:

Zero-dimensional space for stellar lifeform

One-dimensional space for galactic lifeform

Two-dimensional space for super-clustered lifeform

Three-dimensional space for perfect three-dimensional lifeform

Ling Jiu knew that he had comprehended one-dimensional space and met the Emissian Civilization's requirements for galactic warriors.

Besides that, he had also comprehended the law of two-dimensional space partially. Although he had just dabbled in it, he grasped part of it.

"My accumulation of energy has reached Class 9 Galactic!"

"I have grasped the law of one-dimensional space!"

"My own cultivation state is not bad!"

"In terms of true combat power, I am definitely not inferior to super-clustered lifeforms like the God of Light and the God of Magic!"

"Moreover, I have a Saiyan Golden Ape duplicate that can fight against super-clustered lifeform despite being Class-6 Galactic lifeform. Who can be stronger than me in the entire galaxy?"

Ling Jiu murmured to himself with pride. He could not wait to return to Earth and begin a brutal slaughter!

Beep! Beep! Beep!

The communicator rang suddenly.

"What's the matter, Leoux?" Ling Jiu asked.

"I have successfully created the wormhole connecting Earth and Whitehole-2!" Leoux smiled, "Now, you all can return to your home planet any time!"

"Well done!" Ling Jiu was overjoyed, "Are you on Earth now, or Whitehole-2?"

"Still on Earth!" said Leoux.

"You can wait there. We will depart to Earth immediately. Let's meet there!" said Ling Jiu.

"Sure!"

After hanging up, Ling Jiu walked out of the training room directly and flew to midair. His thunder-rolling voice instantly spread across the surface of the planet.

"Hi everyone, the wormhole has been created. We can finally go back to kill all those gods!"

Whoosh!

As soon as Ling Jiu's voice trailed off, a number of silhouettes emerged one after another in the wild virgin forest. Every single of them looked excited, rolling up their sleeves.

"A thousand years! It took us a thousand years! Finally, we can return for vengeance!"

"Norse gods, Greek gods, Egyptian gods, mark my words. This time, I will never let you go!"

"Let's kill them all and take back Earth!"

The group of silhouettes roared into the sky before rushing towards Ling Jiu's direction.

These people did not bother to conceal their presence. As a result, their action had drawn the attention of the direbeasts on Whitehole-2. Initially, the beasts were extremely furious. However, when they sensed these people's intimidating aura, they all chickened out.

'They are too powerful!'

'There's no way we can fight them. We better just take bath and sleep!'

After a while, everyone had reached Ling Jiu's side. Every single of them was in high spirit, their eyes were full of anticipation. "Ling Jiu, the wormhole has been created successfully?"

"Yes. It's done!"

Ling Jiu nodded slightly. He gave his family and those bunch of stellar-level bigshots a glance—No, they should be referred as galactic-level bigshots now—and said, "Come with me!"

As his voice trailed off, Ling Jiu took the lead, rushing to the sky. Everyone followed him after seeing that.

After a short while, when all of them arrived at the altitude of more than a thousand meters, they saw a colorful air bubble.

"This is the wormhole!"

While pointing at the colorful air bubble, Ling Jiu said, "Enter the wormhole and you can reach Earth directly. There's no need to transit through Ganymede and Mars like previously anymore!"

Leoux created the wormhole based on Ling Jiu's specific request. Since they needed to create a wormhole, they should just create one that would allow arcanists to reach Earth directly.

It was more convenient!

In addition, by connecting Earth and Whitehole-2 through a wormhole, the dark bio-energy from Whitehole-2 could flow into earth constantly.

This would definitely benefit Earth. Under the dark bio-energy's nourishment, not only that the physique of the ordinary people on Earth would improve significantly, the chance of having an arcanist born could get higher too.

In a few decades, the average strength of the earthlings would definitely improve greatly.

"Then what are you waiting for, go!"

Vulcan's eyes flashed with a fierce light. "I've been dormant for a thousand years. I can't wait! I can't wait to return to Earth and kill those b*stards!"

The rest of the galactic-level bigshots nodded unanimously. Their memory of the battle that took place a thousand years ago was still fresh in their mind, like it had just happened yesterday. They had all dreamed of going back to Earth for vengeance, to avenge the humiliation they had suffered.

"Let's go!"

Ling Jiu smiled and stepped into the wormhole first. Others followed suit. A few minutes later, the group had arrived on Earth.

Leoux placed the other end of the wormhole in the sky above Lantian Base City. So once they walked out of the wormhole, they found themselves at Lantian Base City.

"This is… Lantian Base City?"

Ling Tianci recognized the city below his feet at a glance, his eyes gradually reddened,

"When we left Earth a thousand years ago, Ares god of war killed everyone in Lantian Base City in rage to vent his anger. In just five years, Lantian has turned to such state!"

Everyone was silent. They all clenched their fists.

Lantian Base City had long become a dead city since then. It was now only left with deserted streets with no sight of people. Direbeasts were everywhere.

"Ling Jiu!"

Leoux's voice sounded. Ling Jiu turned and saw a black smoke appeared quietly. It then went disappear after slipping into his wrist.

"Leoux, how's Earth going?" Ling Jiu asked.

"Still the same," said Leoux. "However, the situation in United States has changed!"

"What happened?" Ling Jiu frowned.

"The Kryptonians passed through the wormhole, killed the Merpeople hiding in Europa, and finally landed on Earth after transiting through Mars!"

Leoux elaborated further at a fast pace, "You should know that the Kryptonians are not weak. Their strength was almost on a par with the gods!"

"But they don't have absolute confidence to take over the entire Earth so they targetted only the United States!"

"The Kryptonians came to the United States. By joining force with the Kryptonians in the United States, they have controlled the United States government in one fell swoop!"

"Kryptonians had a force in the United States?"

Ling Jiu frowned deeply. 'Haven't the Kryptonians been staying at Atlantis all the time? Where did the current force at the United States come from?'

"I told you before that after the explosion of Krypton, the Kryptonians fled in all directions, and only a group of them escaped to Atlantis!"

Leoux explained, "Well, another Krypton spacecraft had landed in the United States!"

"The United States government hid the spacecraft to study it, wanting to uncover its secrets. But eventually, not only did they fail, they had released Kryptonians hibernating in the spacecraft!"

"There were more than three hundred Kryptonians hibernating in that spacecraft. By joining force with the Kryptonians from Atlantis, they have completely controlled the United States!"

Ling Jiu was speechless for a while. 'So the United States government went for wool and came home shorn?'

"What's more interesting is that after the Kryptonians took control of the United States, they are not contented, so they are trying to dominate earth. Hence, they see the gods as thorns!"

Leoux smiled and said, "And the gods see earth as their own paradise so they do not want it to be tainted by others. Therefore, they see the Kryptonians as invaders!"

"In other words, there are two forces on Earth currently?" Ling Jiu was surprised. He did not expect the Kryptonians would involve.

"Yes it is!"

Leoux said, "I have just heard from the Internet that Zeus—the king of the Greek gods—has summoned the gods of every pantheon on Earth in the name of the king of gods. He plans to hold a divine assembly on Mount Olympus and form the Alliance of Gods to eliminate the Kryptonians!"

"The date is a week later!"

"Nordic gods, Egyptian gods, Mayan gods, Japanese gods, Persian gods, Indian gods and other major gods have made it clear that they will participate!"

"Alliance of Gods!"

"Divine assembly!"

Ling Jiu suddenly smiled. "That's really interesting! I wanted to kill these gods one by one, but now I've changed my mind!"

"Ling Jiu, do you mean…"

Report chapter

Chapter 309: Massive Shock, Back in Chang'an

Earth had been under the rule of the gods for years. All countries on Earth—except for Huaxia which remained an independent state—had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The biggest change was the religious faith.

In the regions under the rule of gods, the citizens were only allowed to worship certain deities. Other religions were strictly prohibited.

For example, people living in Southern Europe could only worship Greek gods; people in Northern Europe could only worship Norse gods, while people in Egypt could only worship Egyptian gods…

This had hit the existing religions on Earth hard. The number of their followers had drastically reduced!

The second aspect was the political structure. In regions ruled by the gods, theocratic power was above all rights. This made the authority of various clerics expand infinitely, while the credibility of governments of all nations was reduced to least.

There were many other changes apart from the ones mentioned above. The arcanist groups, including Pangu Arcana Combine and Vulcan Arcana Combine, had suffered a great hit. They had almost ceased to exist in the regions ruled by the gods.

Other changes include the fall of old consortiums and the emergence of new enterprises and companies!

Also, since the return of Japanese gods, many Japanese wandering outside their motherland had come back to Japan island and started to build their new homes, getting ready to restore their country.

In short, most regions in the world, including Europe, Africa, and South America, had changed day by day in these years. The changes were so rapid that many people could not adapt in time.

And yet, even so, when Zeus—the king of gods—wanted to hold a divine meeting on Mount Olympus to discuss the formation of the Alliance of Gods, it had delivered a massive shock to the world.

In today's world, where all gods stood abreast, the situation on Earth had already become unpredictable. And now, it was even worse with the Kryptonians joining in.

The gods finally wanted to form an alliance to defeat the Kryptonians. So which side—the gods or the Kryptonians—was stronger and more advantaged?

No matter who won, the outcome would affect Earth's future direction!

"Foreign countries are still more eventful!"

"Tsk tsk, the gods are going to fight the Kryptonians, I wonder which side is stronger?"

"I think the gods have a better chance. Zeus the king of Greek gods, Odin the king of Norse gods, and Ra the sun god from the Egyptian pantheon… are all powerful super-clustered beings. Together, they can defeat the Kryptonians!"

"That might not be the case! The Kryptonians are a powerful extraterrestrial race. I heard that they can absorb power from the sun. The longer they absorb the sunlight, the more terrifying their strength. No one knows their limit. So, it will be hard for the gods to defeat them!"

"The world has undergone rapid changes. Five years ago, Huaxia was a leading nation. In just five years, when the gods and Kryptonians came, Huaxia's status has been reduced to insignificance. And all we can do is watch. How frustrating! "

"Don't get vexed. Although our country was not as great as before, unlike countries in Europe and Africa, it is still independent and autonomous. Can you imagine having to visit the temple once a week and pray to these gods every day? There's no way I can stand it. I still think that I have a better life!"

"True!"

The topic drew heated discussion among netizens on the Huaxia Internet.

"When can we drive the gods and Kryptonians out of Earth, and restore its peace?" Someone sighed.

"It's unlikely unless Ling Jiu returns!"

"Ling Jiu? Haha! Even Emperor Might, Vulcan, and other bigshots on Earth were killed by the gods without leaving a trace, what can he do?"

"Besides, he has gone missing for 10 years. Five years ago, when the gods emerged, there's no sight of him. Who knows whether he is dead or alive?"

"It's a pity! Ling Jiu was less than 18 years old 10 years ago, yet he became the top arcanist on Earth. If he is still alive, his future must be bright!"

"No matter how talented a genius is, if they could not convert their talent to strength, everything is just empty talk…"

Such comments about Ling Jiu only constituted a minority on the Internet. And even when they reappeared, they would go down and submerged by the discussion wave.

There were too few people on Earth who still remembered Ling Jiu. His appearance was meteoric. He had disappeared in a hurry, leaving only a brief shower of light.

People had even gradually stopped mentioning the names of powerful arcanists like Emperor Might and Vulcan. It was because these arcanists had failed; they were the losers. So they were not worth mentioning.

Most people only knew that it was the gods and the Kryptonians who had put the world in turmoil!

Chang'an Base City, Pangu Arcana Combine's branch

Although the arcanist groups like Pangu Arcana Combine and Vulcan Arcana Combine had suffered heavy losses abroad and nearly shut down, many arcanist groups in Huaxia were still operating normally.

At this moment, a bunch of bigshots, including Emperor Might and Vulcan, were sitting and chatting in the lounge on the top floor of the company building. At the same time, Ai Tianfan, the general manager, behaved cautiously at their side.

Back then, when Ling Jiu had arrived at Chang'an for the first time, Ai Tianfan was already the general manager of the Chang'an branch. Today, he was still the general manager after a dozen years.

Moreover, there was not much improvement in his strength. He was a level-8 arcanist. Even Ai Yuhe, who was chatting with Ling'er not far away, outdid him.

Ai Yuhe had already reached the ninth level. She was now a level-9 arcanist.

"In other words, as of now, there is only a total of five super-clustered beings among the pantheons?"

Ling Jiu, who was holding an iPad, asked in confusion as he flipped through the photos.

"As far as we know, there are indeed only five super-clustered beings!"

Ai Tianfan hurriedly replied Ling Jiu respectfully, "They are Zeus and Hades from the Greek pantheon, Odin from Norse pantheon, Ra from the Egyptian pantheon, and Brahma from Indian pantheon!"

"Five super-clustered lifeforms!"

Emperor Might tapped the table lightly. "These five guys alone are not easy to deal with. If we were without Ling Jiu, we wouldn't even have the courage to fight them!"

"Yeah! You and I have reached the pinnacle of galactic lifeform. Even if we can't defeat the Prime Gods of the major pantheons, at least, we won't lose the fight. However, to fight against super-clustered lifeforms…" Vulcan shook his head.

"Five super-clustered lifeforms. They will have a hard time defeating the Kryptonians!"

Ling Jiu smiled lightly. "As far as I know, there are at least 16 super-clustered beings among the Kryptonians. The pantheons only have five super-clustered beings…hehe!"

Ling Jiu believed that he knew the Kryptonians better than anyone else. Nobody on Earth would outdo him on this matter. He had been to Atlantis before, not to mention he was housing more than 300 Kryptonian gardeners on Floating Island!

Therefore, no one knew the Kryptonians better than him!

Ling Jiu knew very well that there were 16 super-clustered-level Kryptonians on Atlantis. They were the 16 elders, the Kryptonian ancestors!

Not to mention the Kryptonians in the spacecraft discovered by the United States!

Together, how many super-clustered lifeforms were there?

"16 super-clustered lifeforms!!!"

Emperor Might, Vulcan, and other galactic-level bigshots gasped in surprise. Everyone looked at Ling Jiu; some were stupified.

"Ling Jiu, are you serious about this?"

Vulcan hurriedly asked.

"It's true! 10 years ago, I went to the Atlantis. It was occupied by the Kryptonians. And I had faced them before so I knew their strength!"

Ling Jiu spoke affirmatively. "If the strength of these pantheons is the same as what we expect, this so-called Alliance of Gods is a joke!"

"There is one more trouble, which is the most disturbing!"

Report chapter

Chapter 310: Human Traitors, The Meeting

"There is one thing that is the most troubling." Ling Jiu continued, "According to the latest intel, the Kryptonians are sending out communication signals into outer space and trying to gather the scattered Kryptonians. Their aim is to turn Earth into their new base: The New Krypton."

This was what Leoux told him. With Leoux here, nothing that happened on Earth could escape its eyes.

"Are they?" Emperor Might was shocked. "The current Kryptonians are already formidable. How are we going to beat them when more Kryptonians come to Earth?"

The faces of other galactic beings looked grave, as the situation was becoming tricky. Ai Tianfan, who was standing beside Emperor Might, got his knickers in a twist.

He knew exactly what super-clustered beings were. It was precisely because of this that he was afraid of super-clustered beings, the incredibly powerful beings in the universe.

While there were five super-clustered beings on the pantheon's side, the Kryptonian side had sixteen.

Even more frightening was that there might be even more Kryptonians coming to Earth in the future.

They were emotionally crippled.

But this was not all. What Ling Jiu was going to say next almost shocked Ai Tianfan to death.

"There is no need to be afraid of super-clustered beings. Since I'm back, they are doomed, whether it is the king of the gods or the Kryptonians."

What?

Ai Tianfan thought he had heard it wrong and looked at Ling Jiu in disbelief. Was Ling Jiu so powerful now that he could even kill super-clustered beings as he wished?

It shocked him even more when Emperor Might and Vulcan nodded in agreement after hearing what Ling Jiu said.

Emperor Might even said, "With your assurance, Ling Jiu, I know I don't have to worry about it. I will let you handle those super-clustered beings, while I will deal with the minions."

Ai Tianfan could not believe his ears. Were these words from the mouth of the proud chairperson? He just wanted to handle the minions?

Gosh!

It really revolutionized his understanding of things.

"Get a good rest, everyone. We are going to Mount Olympus in a week. If I am not mistaken, we will be fighting a hard battle."

Ling Jiu stood up with a smile. "And we must get ourselves ready to wipe out those deities and Kryptonians. Try to wipe them all out at once. No one gets away. Of course, after getting rid of the gods and Kryptonians, we will be even busier. We not only have to go to the lair of the gods, finishing off the rest of them, but also have to clean up those scums on Earth. By then, you all will not have the time to rest."

"Well said." Vulcan nodded repeatedly. "The gods have to die. The Kryptonians have to die. Plus, we certainly will not let those traitors go unpunished, especially that scoundrel, Derek Rothschild.

"I swear I will kill him myself! He defected to the Greek gods and was named the god of wealth!"

"Don't forget Clement Solomon from Tianwei. He defected to the Hindu gods and was named the god of forests. When I think of this scoundrel betraying me, and bringing eight Hindu guardian gods to besiege me." The chairperson of Tianwei whined.

"We have even more traitors in Pangu." Emperor Might shook his head. "Christian Brahman, CEO from India; Archibald Bronte, CEO from Africa, and Vice president Leo Flanagan have all become the god of hounds and the god of the cobra."

"There's also us, the Freedom Alliance."

Other galactic beings also started to speak, gritting their teeth, their words reeking of anger. How they wished they could kill those traitors who defected to other pantheons.

The pantheons and Kryptonians were certainly hateful, but those who were even more hateful were the traitors who sucked up to the pantheons. Those guys most deserved to be killed.

"It won't be long. Their time will come when the pantheon meeting begins."

Ling Jiu let out a smile, signaling everyone to be patient. "Meanwhile, just be patient and keep your heads down. We will go to Mount Olympus and give those gods and our old friends a surprise."

"I can't wait to see their reactions, man. That must be fun!"

"We shall see in seven days. I will show them no mercy."

"Me, too."

After leaving the Pangu building, Ling Jiu's family did not return to Lantian Base City. They had nowhere to go, as Lantian Base City had been destroyed.

So they first dropped in to see Ling-er's foster mom. While Ling-er and her parents were talking to her foster mom, Ling Jiu accompanied Bai Ya to return to Jinling Base City.

Bai Ya had not seen her mom and younger sister for 1,000 years. Now that she was back, she naturally wanted to go back to see them.

Both of them stayed in Jinling for the next few days. Ling Jiu did not practice self-cultivation, either. He spent time with his mother-in-law and his sister-in-law, having great fun.

It was worth mentioning that several major events had happened on the floating island during these few days.

First, the Nine-winged Serpent and Nine-headed Serpent had regained new bodies, which were of the god of Warcraft and the god of magic, respectively.

Then, they used their own secret techniques to transform their new bodies, preparing to transform them into the Nine-winged Serpent and Nine-headed Serpent.

Once the transformation was completed, they would regain their previous strength and become super-clustered beings again. By then, Ling Jiu would have two more generals.

Second, the Golden Saiyan Ape avatar had gotten another breakthrough.

The Golden Saiyan Ape was practicing self-cultivation the entire time on the floating island with the nourishment of the rich Dark Bio-energy and the pressure of the Gravity Bangle.

Now, it had achieved another breakthrough to the seventh galactic level.

From incubation to the seventh galactic level, it took the Golden Saiyan Ape avatar 10 years. This speed of cultivation was the same as riding a rocket.

However, Ling Jiu was not too happy about it. He thought the Golden Saiyan Ape avatar could do it faster.

For example, giving the Inner World Arcana of the Void Behemoth to the Golden Saiyan Ape avatar.

The floating island had expanded to the point where the production of Dark Bio-energy had reached an incredible level.

How quickly its strength would grow if the Golden Saiyan Ape avatar could also have this Arcana and expand the floating island to the current level?

With this thought in mind, Ling Jiu gave the Inner World of the Void Behemoth to the Golden Saiyan Ape avatar. He planned to go to the asteroid belt to expand the Golden Saiyan Ape avatar's Inner World when he had settled things on Earth.

Time flew. It came to the day when the pantheons began to meet. Streams of light rose from all over the world and gathered towards Mount Olympus.

Following the rise of the Greek pantheon, Mount Olympus had seen the building of a massive and majestic pantheon for all the gods.

The pantheon was the residence of Zeus, the king of the gods. He also used the pantheon as a place to convene and entertain the other gods. Mortals were prohibited from coming near, let alone transgressing.

However, the pantheon had made an exception for major media and journalists. No one knew what the pantheon was thinking. They probably wanted to expand the influence of the pantheon or give a strong message to the Kryptonians. The Greek pantheon decided to give a live broadcast to the entire pantheon meeting.

Except for media from America and Huaxia, all media from all over the world had gathered on Mount Olympus, training their cameras at the pantheon as a live broadcast of the pantheon meeting was about to begin.

"Hello everyone, you are watching BBC TV. The towering temple you see here is the pantheon where the gods are going to hold their meeting here."

"We are seeing gods from major pantheons arriving."

Chapter 311: The Pantheons Gather, Saber Rattling

The meeting of the pantheons was the focus of the world's attention. Countless people around the world were following this important event through various online channels.

This included hundreds of millions of people in Huaxia. Everyone was watching the meeting of the pantheons through various live broadcast platforms.

In the live broadcast, the majestic pantheon stood on Mount Olympus, surrounded by clouds and fog, like a heaven floating in the clouds.

At this moment, on the square in front of the pantheon, there were over a dozen gods standing, all of them radiating with a mighty aura.

"Could anyone know these gods please introduce them?"

"Any popular science expert here?"

"These eleven gods here are ordinary gods from the Greek pantheon. From left to right, they are Onirii, the god of dreams, the Anemoi, the Astra, the Potamoi, the Oceanids, the Erinyes, the Moirai, the Horae, the Muses, the Heliades, the Hesperides," a netizen called God's Perspective said.

"Interesting. Now I know."

"How do you know so many details? Are you a stellar being?"

The atmosphere in the live broadcast room was vivacious.

At this time, dozens of streams of light flashed across the sky, and then landed on the square in front of the pantheon. The live broadcast room fell in silence all of a sudden.

"Which pantheon is this?"

"Where are they from?"

"It looks like they are the Japanese deities."

"The Japanese deities?"

"It is the Japanese deities. This time seven of them have come. The three standing in the middle are the three gods of good fortune: the god of heaven, the Three Creation gods: Amenominakanushi, the Central Master; Takamimusubi, the High Creator;, and Kamimusubi, the Divine Creator. The two on the left are Kuninotokotachi and Toyokumunu. The two on the right are Izanagi and Izanami." God's Perspective said again.

"That's all the introduction. He must be a stellar being. No ordinary person can understand the deities so well."

"Are Japanese deities strong?"

"Apparent Japanese deities are weak since Japan has been annihilated."

"Yeah. If it weren't for the rise of the pantheons, the Japanese deities would still hide in their holes, suppressed by the stellar beings on Earth."

"Oh, what a shame! Now that all the stellar beings have disappeared, these guys are flexing their muscles here."

After the Japanese deities, other gods, including the Norse, Egyptian, and Mayan deities, also showed up.

Afterwards, those deities entered the pantheon together, and the journalists followed suit. So the live broadcast was now showing the scene inside the pantheon.

Zeus, the king of gods in golden armor, sat high on the throne, looking majestic and sacred.

On his left sat Odin, the king of the Norse deities, on the right was the god of the sun from the Egyptian deities, on the right of the god of the sun was the highest god Brahmā of Hindu deities, and on the left of Odin was Zorvan, the god of time from the Persian deities.

Five powerful kings of the gods, supreme beings, sat high on the throne, while hundreds of other gods sat on both sides of the pantheon.

The major pantheons had gathered together.

"Everyone, on behalf of the Greek pantheon, I welcome you."

Zeus, the king of the gods, picked up a wineglass, and his voice was heard throughout the pantheon. "I have been waiting for this moment for a thousand years. The pantheons are going to rule the world. A thousand years ago, the divine power of the lower realm was exhausted. I and the other gods escaped and left the lower realm to stay in the divine realm. A thousand years have passed, and the divine power of the lower realm has recovered. We will return and the lower realm is going to be our backyard again. No one else shall take it from us."

"Well said!" All deities nodded in agreement.

"Now, the foreign devil has come. He belittles our existence and tries to take the gods' backyard. It is nothing more than wishful thinking!" Zeus suddenly got to his feet. "We should unite to get rid of that foreign devil and make the lower realm clean."

"How dare you, a mortal, trespass the pantheon!"

While Zeus was talking passionately, a few angry voices were heard outside the pantheon.

"The pantheon isn't a hell of fire. Why can't I be here?"

"You must have a death wish!"

Bump! Bump! Bump!

After a short fighting sound, dozens of bodies crashed like garbage into the pantheon.

The gods in the pantheon frowned as they looked at the dozen bodies.

The next moment, the faces of Zeus, the king of the gods, and other Greek gods changed.

The dozen bodies crashing into the pantheon were none other than Onirii, the Anemoi, the Astra, and other gods receiving guests on the outside.

They were now puking blood, their brains bursting out as they lay on the ground motionless, breathless, apparently killed on the spot.

"What's going on?"

"What happened?"

"Aren't they the gods standing outside the pantheon just now? Who killed them?"

"Holy moly! Things have gone horribly wrong!"

"Who else besides the Kryptonians could do this on Earth?"

"Things are getting interesting here! While the major deities gather here to hold a meeting, the Kryptonians are coming looking for trouble."

"Here we go."

Things that happened in the pantheon were broadcast live and caused a stir among the billions of people who watched the live telecast around the world.

"Who did this?"

The divine light in Zeus's eyes burst out as he forced the words through his teeth.

A sturdy young man wearing silver armor and wielding a silver broadsword suddenly stood up and saluted Zeus. "Father, let me check it out."

"That won't be necessary."

A lazy voice came from the outside as a young man of two-meter in height with an extremely muscular body walked into the pantheon.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

All eyes were on the young man as journalists scrambled to train their big-ass camera lenses at him.

"Who is this guy?"

"He comes alone?"

"How dare he storm into the pantheon alone? Isn't he afraid of dying?"

Fervent discussions erupted among the netizens. The face of the gods in the pantheon changed subtly. They all stood up at once when they saw this young man's attire.

"A Kryptonian!"

"You all are not blind at least."

The young man yawned. "At first, I tried to ignore you all, a bunch of arrogant beings who self-proclaimed as gods. But you all have overreached yourselves by convening a self-defeating divine meeting. So I thought I might as well come and take a look. I didn't expect that these guys were blind. They didn't recognize me. Instead of saying hello they greeted me with their fists. No way I will take this lying down. But I didn't know that they were so weak, a bunch of rubbish."

While speaking, the young man spat on the bodies of the eleven gods.

The faces of the other gods sank. Especially the king of gods Zeus and the Greek gods. They were even more furious.

"Stupid Kryptonian, you are asking for trouble!"

The young man in the silver armor snorted, leaving his seat in a flash, and appeared in the center of the pantheon.

He was Ares, the god of war.

One of the twelve major gods of the Greek pantheon, the god of war, strength, and bravery, representing the tyranny and bloody of war, and the disaster of humankind.

"So what if I am asking for trouble? Who do you think you are?"

The young man looked at Ares, squinting his eyes.

Ares the God of War, the culprit who slaughtered Lantian Base City with five million people killed at his hands.

This guy had committed a heinous sin.

Blood was on his hands.

Chapter 312: Unrivaled, Killing Two Gods in a Row

"How dare you!"

Ares's face was grave, and he had that murderous look in his eyes. Unsheathing his long sword, he faded into a stream of light as he lunged toward the young man.

"There he goes!"

"The god of war, Ares has made his move!"

The emotion of the netizens in the live stream room reached a fever pitch. The Greek god, Zeus was the most respected and powerful king of the gods.

There were eleven major gods under Zeus. Ares, the god of war, was Zeus' son, who had been born with unparalleled combat strength and unrivaled bravery.

Hence, he was canonized as the god of war.

When the Greek deities were born, the vanguard general was the god of war Ares. He single-handedly defeated more than a hundred stellar beings on Earth. That showed his overwhelming combat strength. He had even slaughtered Lantian Base City unassisted.

Ares, the god of war, was definitely an unprecedented demon, and a symbol of invincibility in the eyes of the people on Earth.

Now he finally struck.

Ares appeared in front of the young man in an instant. The void was torn apart as he struck the long sword in his hand down at the young man's head.

"You are overreaching yourself."

The young man sneered, but did nothing except for casually flicking the long sword with his right index finger.

"Holy moly!"

"Isn't that too crazy?"

"I can't believe that he parried Ares's attack with his finger. Crazy! This guy is crazy!"

"Are all Kryptonians so crazy?"

"He is dead! This guy is dead! The sword will cut him in half."

The billions of people who were watching the live stream were on the edge of their seats at seeing what the young man did. Did the young know who Ares actually was? It was unbelievable that he was using his finger to parry Ares's attack.

Was this young man being overconfident of himself, or was he simply underestimating Ares?

"Outrageous!"

Ares felt he was humiliated. His strength surged as he vowed to smash the damn bugger to vent his hatred.

His face changed when the giant sword struck the young man's index finger. He felt a terrifying force travel from the opponent's index finger. The next moment he knew it, the giant sword shattered.

"Impossible!" Ares roared frantically, as he could not believe his eyes.

"Impossible?" The young man sneered and appeared in front of Ares like a ghost to poke his finger on Ares's forehead.

Bang!

Everyone watched in disbelief as white and red stuff of the brain splattered all over the place as Ares's head exploded.

Ares died on the spot before he could even scream.

There was a dead silence in the pantheon all of a sudden.

Those netizens who watched the entire thing through live streaming were all stunned and horrified. One of the twelve gods of the Greek deities, the son of the king of the gods Zeus, and the god of war of the Greek gods, was poked to death by a finger?

"My God! How powerful is this young man? Could he be at the level of Zeus, Odin, the solar deities, and Brahmā?"

"Unbelievable! I can't believe that he killed Ares with just a finger! Are the Kryptonians so powerful?"

"No wonder he dared to break into the pantheon alone. He is apparently not because of his arrogance but strength. That's terrifying!"

Many people were speechless.

All the gods looked at the young man with a grave face. Ares was a top major god, only a step away from becoming the king of the gods. But he was poked to death by the Kryptonian, who definitely was the king of the gods.

So what if he was the king of the gods?

Those who trespassed the pantheon must die.

"Foreign devil, you have got skill. But you should never come here alone today as you are destined to die right here today."

Zeus stood up, his eyes eerie. His body clapped with lightning, dreadful violence filling his eyes.

"Let me handle this, Father."

A young man in a sacred blue robe stood up. Zeus saw him and nodded. "Go, Apollo. Revenge your brother Ares."

Apollo was one of the twelve major Greek gods, the god of light, the eldest son of Zeus, much older than Ares. He attained godship much earlier with unfathomable strength.

"Yes, Father." Apollo rose into the sky and slowly floated to the center of the pantheon, looking at the young man with a bitter expression. "Foreign devil, you shouldn't have killed Ares!"

"Tell me your name. I won't kill a person without knowing his name." The young man shot a lazy glance at him.

"Die!"

Apollo roared, and his body glowed in holy light. Golden rays of light rose from his body, making him seem like a sun bursting with extremely bright light.

The next moment, a light sword of holy light appeared in Apollo's hands. He wielded the light sword and struck it down from above.

Compared with Ares's giant sword, the light sword seemed to be incorporeal. The faces of the gods changed as the light sword formed.

"The god of light has achieved a breakthrough?"

"This divine power is definitely in the realm of the king of the gods."

"God! Even the god of light has transcended. Don't the Greek deities have five kings of gods now?"

Zeus looked proud when he heard the other gods spoke in wonderment. His eldest son Apollo was introverted and low-key, not as brave as Ares, but he was talented.

After all these years of self-cultivation, he finally made progress and attained the realm of the king of the gods.

Apollo could definitely kill this damn Kryptonian.

The light sword tore through the void, like a white rainbow to come above the young man's head.

"This foreign devil is dead!" the gods exclaimed quietly.

No one knew better than them how powerful the king of gods was.

What is the king of gods?

It was the being above gods, the king of the gods. In the words of the foreign devil, it was a super-clustered being.

The king of the gods might be only one level above the major gods, but this gap was as different as night and day. Ten thousand major gods were no match for a king of gods.

"The king of gods?"

The corners of the young man's mouth curled up slightly upon hearing the remarks of others. He took a step forward and vanished. The next second, he had come in front of Apollo.

He then slowly raised and slapped gently with his right hand.

Apollo's heart skipped a beat. He did not know how the young man dodged his attack and came in front of him. But could such a slow attack hit him?

That was wishful thinking.

Apollo snorted and prepared to dodge. But to his surprise, he froze in place while the young man's palm was falling upon him.

The palm of the young man's hand came down softly, as if a mother stroking his son's head. But to everyone's horror, Apollo's head exploded like a watermelon hit by a sledgehammer.

Everyone fell into silence.

The gods, the journalists, the billions of people watching the live streaming stared with their jaws dropping to the ground. They all could not believe their eyes.

The god of light.

The son of Zeus.

Apollo, who had stepped into the realm of the king of gods, was slapped to death?

And it happened so nonchalantly?

Oh, god! How could this be possible?

Report chapter

Chapter 313: Slaying Three Gods Straight, Zeus Strikes

"He poked Ares to death with one finger!"

"He killed Apollo with just one palm!"

"How powerful is he? How does he compare to Zeus and Odin?"

"This Kryptonian is really too powerful. No wonder he dared to challenge the pantheon alone. It turns out that he really has something."

"Since the Kryptonians' arrival, they have been very mysterious. The outside world knows very little about them. This young man is the first one. No one expects him to be so badass."

"How powerful would the other Kryptonians be when a young Kryptonian is already so powerful? Are the Kryptonians going to rule the earth?"

A brouhaha erupted online.

The strength displayed by the Kryptonian young man shocked everyone.

Little did they know that the many Kryptonians in America were even more astounded.

Area 51, Nevada, America.

Area 51 was originally the base for the secret research of the Kryptonian spacecraft by the American government. Things went wrong somehow, and the Kryptonians took control of the base.

Since then, the secret experimental base in Area 51 had become the base of the Kryptonians. At this moment, in a conference room at the base.

A brawny Kryptonian wearing a black armor was sitting on a chair. The giant screen in front of him was showing the scene in the pantheon.

Apparently, the Kryptonians were also paying close attention to the meeting of the gods.

"Kal, what's this guy's name?" Zod, the brawny Kryptonian, looked over at the other Kryptonian beside him. "He is good, young, very talented."

"You don't know him?" The Kryptonian named Kal looked stunned. "I thought he was your man? You don't know him either?"

"Nope." Zod frowned suddenly. "Neither yours nor mine, then who is he?"

"I don't have a clue." Kal also frowned.

"Go find out who he is!" Kal ordered at once.

"Aye, General Kal!"

Someone responded immediately and carried out the order.

"Strange! Who is this guy?"

Zod and Kal exchanged a glance with each other, bewildered. The Kryptonians on Earth were divided into two groups.

One group was the Atlantic Kryptonians led by Zod.

There were over a thousand of them lived on Atlantis. It was not until recently they traveled through the wormhole to Earth.

The other group was the Earth's Kryptonians, led by Kal.

They had been sleeping in the spacecraft that had crashed into Earth. America broke the shield of the spacecraft and awakened them recently. There were about 800 Kryptonians.

The two groups of Kryptonians added up to about 2,000 people. Because they were much stronger than America, they could rule this country with an iron fist.

But neither Zod nor Kal knew the young Kryptonian on the screen. It really puzzled them.

"Is he, like us, a surviving Kryptonian?" Zod and Kal were deep in thought.

There was silence in the pantheon.

The young man's display of strength shocked everyone. The kings of the gods were the most powerful beings among the gods, yet the young man had killed them one by one. How powerful was this young man?

But the Greek gods were just as furious as they were shocked.

Dionysus, the god of wine, one of the twelve major gods, glared at the young man with a murderous look in his eyes. "How dare you kill my brother!"

Another major god, Hermes, the god of thieves, was enraged, too. "How dare you, foreign devil, be so brazen disregard for the pantheon! You deserve a million deaths!"

Athena, the goddess of wisdom, also one of the twelve gods, even pointed at the young man with a scepter of wisdom. "Foreign devil, I will kill you for shedding my brother's blood!"

"Kill me?" The young man shook his head and chuckled. "Don't worry. Ares and Apollo died; gods like you all will also die. I will kill you all myself."

The young man flicked his fingers as soon as his voice trailed off.

Three strands of silver silk shot out from the young man's fingertips. They defied the distance and suddenly hit the god of wine, the god of thieves, and the goddess of wisdom on their foreheads.

The next moment, something shocking happened.

The silverish silks suddenly exploded, blowing the heads of the three apart like exploding watermelons in clouds of blood mist.

Three headless corpses plunged from the air, hitting the floor paved with gold bricks with three muffled thuds.

Silence returned to the pantheon again.

He killed the three gods—the god of wine, the god of thieves, and the goddess of wisdom—with just the flick of a finger, as if he was killing ants. He showed the power of the king of gods to the fullest.

The Greek gods were infuriated, but none of the major gods dared to step out and chide the young man.

This young man in front of their eyes was too powerful for them. They were afraid that if they were too vocal, they would end up like the god of wine and other gods.

At this time, Zeus, the king of the gods, stood up, his overwhelming aura filling the pantheon.

Zeus was going to intervene.

All the other gods looked at him, only to see lightning entwining with Zeus.

This lightning was magnificent. It was not ordinary lightning, but a stream of tiny tadpoles-like symbols putting out bright and powerful light.

Many people felt their eyes hurt by just glancing at the lightning. They felt dizzy, and their souls seemed to be torn in half.

"Evil Kryptonian! How dare you kill my son and daughter!"

Zeus's voice was bitter, loud as thunder rumbling down from heaven to judge the world.

Indeed.

Whether it was Ares, Apollo, the god of wine, the god of thieves, and the goddess of wisdom, they were all his children.

Now they were killed by the young man.

"Zeus is going to strike!"

"Things are getting interesting!"

The Internet went into a frenzy. Not everyone knew the ordinary gods, but Zeus was well known to everyone.

He was the ruler of the Greek gods, the supreme king of gods, and the head of the twelve major gods.

All this gave Zeus the status of supremacy and unfathomable strength. Who would not be terrified when he was going to intervene?

"Zeus is the most powerful being among the gods. He will kill this young Kryptonian and avenge Ares and others!"

"Zeus should have intervened long ago. Had he done that, Ares and others would not have to die."

"It is a shame that the Greek gods have suffered a massive casualty this time, losing five of the twelves major gods."

"If I were him, I would have fled. Never strip the mountain bare and you will never be short of firewood. It is better to find a habitable planet and make yourself a god there."

People were commenting online, bombarding the major live streaming channels with bullet titles, almost overwhelming the servers of the major live streaming websites.

But what happened next told everyone that this was just the beginning.

After Zeus, a group of shadows rose into the air and attacked the young man with overwhelming force.

One was Poseidon, the god of the sea, who was wielding a trident over the waves.

Another was Hades, the king of the underworld, whose body effused black mist, as if he had just emerged from hell.

Then there was Odin, the king of the gods, who was wearing a golden helmet with two ravens perching on his shoulders.

And there was Thor, the god of thunder, who was as strong as an ox and wielding a hammer that clapped with thunder and lightning.

After Zeus, several gods had also stood up. They were bursting with energy, which suggested that they were all kings of the gods.

Chapter 314: You're Ling Jiu, Cleaning House

"One, two, three… twelve!"

"Twelve kings of the gods!"

"Gosh! The Kryptonian young man is dead!"

Billions of netizens gasped as the twelve kings of gods rose. They felt as if a boulder pressed against their chests and suffocated them.

What it was like to have twelve kings of the gods appear at once?

The king of the gods was known as the super-clustered beings on Earth. This class of beings was above the stellar and even galactic beings.

There was not even a single king of gods in the world ten years ago.

And even powerful stellar beings like Emperor Might and Vulcan were no match for the kings of the gods.

It was not until now that kings of the gods appeared on Earth—and there were as many as twelves of them.

They were terrifically powerful.

"Can anyone tell me who these twelve kings of gods are?"

"Calling God's Perspective. Please enlighten us."

"Earnestly waiting for God's Perspective."

"Be quiet! Let God's Perspective speak!"

With much anticipation, a netizen called God's Perspective started to speak. "These twelve kings of gods are: Zeus, the king of the gods; Poseidon, the god of the sea; and Hades, the god of the underworld from the Greek Pantheon. Odin, the king of gods; Thor, the god of thunder; and Loki, the god of fire from the Norse pantheon. Ra, the god of the sun; Horus, the god of the sky, and Anubis, the god of death from the Egyptian pantheon. And Brahmā, Shiva, and Vishnu from the Hindu pantheon.

"Interesting!"

"I knew it was these deities!"

"This is a formidable lineup. Any of the twelve kings of the gods is powerful enough to rule over the earth."

"Ruling over the earth is an understatement. If the kings of gods want, they could destroy an entire planet."

"Holy moly! Then aren't we in danger?"

"Twelve… No. There are thirteen of them. Aren't we doomed when all of them fight and things spill over to Asia?"

"You can't say for sure."

"Foreign devil, you have committed great sins!" Zeus's bitter voice reverberated inside the pantheon like the rumble of thunder. "I will put your body away at the seabed of the Arctic Ocean and seal your soul in the center of the earth, where your soul will be tortured forever and you will wish you could die."

"Really?" The young man sneered. "I have heard that too many times, yet I am still alive and kicking. But those who said this have all gone to hell."

"Foreign devil, do you really think you can leave here alive today?" Hades sneered. "We have twelve kings of gods, and thousands of minor gods. We together are more than capable enough to grind your treacherous bones to dust."

"Is that all you gods have got? I am very disappointed, to be honest." The young man snickered. "Let's not talk about killing me. So what even if you can kill me? There are sixty-six super-clustered beings among the Kryptonians. In your language, that's equal to sixty-six kings of the gods. So, even if you all have killed me, you all will still be no match for the Kryptonians. Your era of ruling the earth is ending, no matter how you look at it."

Then there was a dead silence in the pantheon.

The same happened online, too.

But the silence on the Internet did not last long before people went into a frenzy.

Netizens bombarded the live streaming screens with bullet titles to vent their shock and horror.

"Sixty-six kings of the gods? Really?"

"He must be kidding, right? Are the Kryptonians really so strong?"

"He must be bluffing, right? How can there still be any gods left if the Kryptonians are so strong? They would have eliminated the gods and occupied the earth long ago."

"I hope that is not true. Otherwise, I can't imagine…"

The gods in the pantheon were just as shocked as the netizens.

There was no king of the gods during the active period of the gods thousands of years ago. The kings of the gods only appeared after thousands of years of cultivation in the secret realm.

Even so, there were only a dozen of them.

Now the Kryptonians had sixty-six 66 kings of the gods?

Was this a joke or something?

"Foreign devil, I will call your bluff!" The Egyptian god of the sun, Ra, sneered. "Do you know how rare the king of the gods is? I have lived for tens of thousands of years, and I haven't seen more than a few of them. How could a devil from the outer sky produce so many kings of gods? Heck! No matter how much you bluff, that won't save you."

"Exactly." The other gods nodded in agreement.

As shocking as it was, they dismissed the possibility after thinking about it carefully.

The king of the gods was not an ordinary being. It was not something that could come into being without tens of thousands of years of self-cultivation.

66 kings of the gods?

Nonsense.

"A bunch of idiots with tunnel vision." The young man sneered. "I said before, you all have tunnel vision. How can you know how vast this universe is? It is useless to talk to you all, anyway. Nothing can save you all from the parochial mindset and ignorance." The young man suddenly transformed into another appearance. "Bring it on—all at once. I am in a hurry. After killing you all, I have to rush to America."

"It is you!"

"How could it be you?"

"This, this… how is this possible?"

Before the other gods could know what happened, a dozen gods sitting among them had got the shock of their lives.

"God of wealth, you know him?" Zeus looked over at the god beside him upon hearing the exclamation.

"Your Majesty the King of God, he—he—he, he is Ling Jiu! He is Ling Jiu!" The face of Derek Rothschild, the god of wealth, turned grave. He looked horrified, his voice trembling.

"He is the strongest man on Earth?" Zeus frowned slightly. "That mean he is not a Kryptonian?"

"Absolutely not!" Derek Rothschild said. "This guy has Arcana Replication. He can replicate all the abilities in the world. It is no surprise that he can form-shift."

"I didn't know that he was not a Kryptonian." Zeus looked at him with a pair of knife-like eyes. "You disgusting human killed five of my children. You must die today!"

Ling Jiu ignored Zeus and looked at Derek Rothschild with a smile. "So you are Derek Rothschild, the traitor, as Vulcan said?"

"Ling—Ling Jiu!" Derek Rothschild did not even dare to look Ling Jiu in the eyes. The name of a person, and the shadow of a tree. Ten years ago, Ling Jiu was the number one powerhouse on Earth.

Today, 10 years later, Ling Jiu was back, and showed his unparalleled strength.

An unexplained fear rose within him when Derek Rothschild saw Ling Jiu.

And he could imagine where Ling Jiu had gone. Ling Jiu must have hidden in Whitehole-2 for self-cultivation. With the resources and time flow of Whitehole-2, where 1,000 years equal to 10 years on Earth, he had practiced self-cultivation for 1,000 years.

Ling Jiu had become incredibly powerful.

How powerful would he be now after 1,000-year self-cultivation when he could become a stellar being and beat Emperor Might and Vulcan in terms of strength within just one or two years?

What made Derek Rothschild most uneasy was that with Ling Jiu's return, Emperor Might and Vulcan could have also returned.

"Don't worry. I will not kill you." Ling Jiu snickered. "Someone will come to clean house. That guy has only one thing in mind for the past one thousand years, which is to kill you. By the way, he is already an apex galactic being, which is equivalent to a major god in the ranking of gods on Earth. It shouldn't be difficult for a major god to kill you, I suppose?"

A chill ran up Derek Rothschild's spine upon hearing that.

He knew who that guy Ling Jiu talking about was. Who else could it be if not Vulcan?

"The chairman has become an apex galactic being?"

Chapter 314: You're Ling Jiu, Cleaning House

"One, two, three… twelve!"

"Twelve kings of the gods!"

"Gosh! The Kryptonian young man is dead!"

Billions of netizens gasped as the twelve kings of gods rose. They felt as if a boulder pressed against their chests and suffocated them.

What it was like to have twelve kings of the gods appear at once?

The king of the gods was known as the super-clustered beings on Earth. This class of beings was above the stellar and even galactic beings.

There was not even a single king of gods in the world ten years ago.

And even powerful stellar beings like Emperor Might and Vulcan were no match for the kings of the gods.

It was not until now that kings of the gods appeared on Earth—and there were as many as twelves of them.

They were terrifically powerful.

"Can anyone tell me who these twelve kings of gods are?"

"Calling God's Perspective. Please enlighten us."

"Earnestly waiting for God's Perspective."

"Be quiet! Let God's Perspective speak!"

With much anticipation, a netizen called God's Perspective started to speak. "These twelve kings of gods are: Zeus, the king of the gods; Poseidon, the god of the sea; and Hades, the god of the underworld from the Greek Pantheon. Odin, the king of gods; Thor, the god of thunder; and Loki, the god of fire from the Norse pantheon. Ra, the god of the sun; Horus, the god of the sky, and Anubis, the god of death from the Egyptian pantheon. And Brahmā, Shiva, and Vishnu from the Hindu pantheon.

"Interesting!"

"I knew it was these deities!"

"This is a formidable lineup. Any of the twelve kings of the gods is powerful enough to rule over the earth."

"Ruling over the earth is an understatement. If the kings of gods want, they could destroy an entire planet."

"Holy moly! Then aren't we in danger?"

"Twelve… No. There are thirteen of them. Aren't we doomed when all of them fight and things spill over to Asia?"

"You can't say for sure."

"Foreign devil, you have committed great sins!" Zeus's bitter voice reverberated inside the pantheon like the rumble of thunder. "I will put your body away at the seabed of the Arctic Ocean and seal your soul in the center of the earth, where your soul will be tortured forever and you will wish you could die."

"Really?" The young man sneered. "I have heard that too many times, yet I am still alive and kicking. But those who said this have all gone to hell."

"Foreign devil, do you really think you can leave here alive today?" Hades sneered. "We have twelve kings of gods, and thousands of minor gods. We together are more than capable enough to grind your treacherous bones to dust."

"Is that all you gods have got? I am very disappointed, to be honest." The young man snickered. "Let's not talk about killing me. So what even if you can kill me? There are sixty-six super-clustered beings among the Kryptonians. In your language, that's equal to sixty-six kings of the gods. So, even if you all have killed me, you all will still be no match for the Kryptonians. Your era of ruling the earth is ending, no matter how you look at it."

Then there was a dead silence in the pantheon.

The same happened online, too.

But the silence on the Internet did not last long before people went into a frenzy.

Netizens bombarded the live streaming screens with bullet titles to vent their shock and horror.

"Sixty-six kings of the gods? Really?"

"He must be kidding, right? Are the Kryptonians really so strong?"

"He must be bluffing, right? How can there still be any gods left if the Kryptonians are so strong? They would have eliminated the gods and occupied the earth long ago."

"I hope that is not true. Otherwise, I can't imagine…"

The gods in the pantheon were just as shocked as the netizens.

There was no king of the gods during the active period of the gods thousands of years ago. The kings of the gods only appeared after thousands of years of cultivation in the secret realm.

Even so, there were only a dozen of them.

Now the Kryptonians had sixty-six 66 kings of the gods?

Was this a joke or something?

"Foreign devil, I will call your bluff!" The Egyptian god of the sun, Ra, sneered. "Do you know how rare the king of the gods is? I have lived for tens of thousands of years, and I haven't seen more than a few of them. How could a devil from the outer sky produce so many kings of gods? Heck! No matter how much you bluff, that won't save you."

"Exactly." The other gods nodded in agreement.

As shocking as it was, they dismissed the possibility after thinking about it carefully.

The king of the gods was not an ordinary being. It was not something that could come into being without tens of thousands of years of self-cultivation.

66 kings of the gods?

Nonsense.

"A bunch of idiots with tunnel vision." The young man sneered. "I said before, you all have tunnel vision. How can you know how vast this universe is? It is useless to talk to you all, anyway. Nothing can save you all from the parochial mindset and ignorance." The young man suddenly transformed into another appearance. "Bring it on—all at once. I am in a hurry. After killing you all, I have to rush to America."

"It is you!"

"How could it be you?"

"This, this… how is this possible?"

Before the other gods could know what happened, a dozen gods sitting among them had got the shock of their lives.

"God of wealth, you know him?" Zeus looked over at the god beside him upon hearing the exclamation.

"Your Majesty the King of God, he—he—he, he is Ling Jiu! He is Ling Jiu!" The face of Derek Rothschild, the god of wealth, turned grave. He looked horrified, his voice trembling.

"He is the strongest man on Earth?" Zeus frowned slightly. "That mean he is not a Kryptonian?"

"Absolutely not!" Derek Rothschild said. "This guy has Arcana Replication. He can replicate all the abilities in the world. It is no surprise that he can form-shift."

"I didn't know that he was not a Kryptonian." Zeus looked at him with a pair of knife-like eyes. "You disgusting human killed five of my children. You must die today!"

Ling Jiu ignored Zeus and looked at Derek Rothschild with a smile. "So you are Derek Rothschild, the traitor, as Vulcan said?"

"Ling—Ling Jiu!" Derek Rothschild did not even dare to look Ling Jiu in the eyes. The name of a person, and the shadow of a tree. Ten years ago, Ling Jiu was the number one powerhouse on Earth.

Chapter 315: Global Attention, Battle Breaks Out

Staring at the young man's face, listening to the young man's words, the online world went into a state of delirium.

"How could it be him? Didn't he go missing? How come he has suddenly popped out?"

"It turns out that this guy is not a Kryptonian at all, but Ling Jiu. D*mn! We were all deceived by him."

"It's Ling Jiu! It's him! He's back!"

"Ling Jiu is back at last! I knew that he'd be back. Ooh, he's back, he's finally back!"

"At first I thought this Kryptonian was weird, wondering why he did not stay in America but came to the pantheon. Damn, it turns out that he is a Kryptonian."

"Is it me or is Ling Jiu overly powerful? He just killed three kings of the gods!"

Shocked.

Surprised.

Excited.

Netizens around the world watching the live streaming went into a frenzy. Those bullet titles fell like snowflakes on the screens, almost overwhelming the servers handling the live streaming.

"I knew this guy would not die!"

In Pangu Arcana Combine Building in Chang'an Base City, Li Kai was crying and laughing as he looked at the screen and plunged into endless excitement.

On the highest floor of the building, Ai Yuhe looked at the young man on the computer screen and let out a faint sigh. A hint of regret mixed with shock appeared on her face.

"I didn't expect that he would become so powerful in just ten years. I am now not even qualified to look up to him."

Beijing Base City.

Zhou Ji, who had become the middle-level leader of Pangu Arcana Combine, was also watching the live streaming.

When he saw the young man turning out to be Ling Jiu on the screen, he could not help but shake his head and forced a smile. "This guy is finally back. Just that his strength…"

Japan.

Sixty years ago, Japan was annihilated because of the rise of direbeasts. Many people died and only a few rich people and those who had gone abroad escaped.

These Japanese were scattered around the world, becoming immigrants in foreign countries.

But with the birth of the Japanese gods, many Japanese returned to the islands of Japan.

They wiped out the direbeasts in an attempt to reestablish the country with the help of the Japanese gods.

Hirano Hatake was one of them.

He was a talent trained in the Super Matriculation Camp. After the birth of the Japanese gods, he betrayed Pangu and defected to the Japanese pantheon.

In his own words to comfort himself, he said, "My life goal is to restore my country. Now that the opportunity is here, I will not miss it."

Hirano Hagi believed all along that he had made the right choice.

Especially when the major pantheons had defeated stellar beings like Emperor Might and Vulcan, Hirano Hatake knew that there was a hope for reestablishing the country of Japan and he could play an important role.

He was even appreciated by the Japanese pantheon and chosen as the son of god.

As long as he becomes a stellar life, he would be deified, becoming a supreme god.

But he suddenly regretted it at this moment.

"He turns out to be an Earthling."

Zod and Kal exchanged a glance with each other. They both saw surprises in each other's eyes. No wonder they did not recognize him; he turned out to be an earthling impersonator.

"This guy is so daring to pretend to be one of us. He is foolhardy!" Zod snorted. There was a fleeting bitterness in his eyes.

"I read his file," Kal said in a low voice. "His name is Ling Jiu, the first genius on Earth. I heard he took only two years to become a stellar being."

"Two years? Stellar being?" Zod's brows were knitted together tightly. Earthlings could not compare with Kryptonians in terms of strength. But Earthlings had great potential and talent.

Stellar beings had appeared after Earth had only developed for 50 years. No one knew how far they could go if this momentum continued.

So Zod thought he had already overestimated Earthlings.

But he never expected that someone on Earth could become a stellar being in two years.

"What is more terrifying is that he went missing for less than 10 years, and when he reappeared, he was already a super-clustered being. He could not challenge you and me," Kal slowly said. "This earthling has incredible talent. If he continues to grow, even Kryptonians like us will find it difficult to gain a foothold on Earth."

"Then let's just kill him." Zod gritted his teeth. "Earth is a very amazing planet connected to many wormholes. It is going to be the new home for us, the Kryptonians."

"I will allow no one to stop the rise of Kryptonians on Earth. No one can."

"Then let's do it." Kal took a deep breath. "Kill him in the cradle before he has fully grown up. Otherwise, it will be too late."

"Yeah." Zod nodded vigorously and shouted his order. "Someone, gather all the super-clustered beings and follow me to Mount Olympus!"

"Aye, General!"

All eyes from around the world were on Ling Jiu. It was also at this moment that the earthlings became worried.

Can Ling Jiu defeat the gods?

People just rubbernecked when Ling Jiu was impersonating a young Kryptonian. They did not care who would win the battle. They were happy to see both sides fight each other to death.

But now, the Kryptonian had turned out to be Ling Jiu, and people could no longer rubberneck—Ling Jiu was their own kind.

There would be trouble if Ling Jiu lost.

"Everyone, do you think Ling Jiu can win?"

"Ling Jiu must win! He had better win. Or else, our earth will have no more hope."

"Since Ling Jiu dared to come, it means he has confidence in his own strength. I believe he can defeat the gods and wipe out the Kryptonians!"

"Absolutely! Ling Jiu will definitely win!"

"Beat the hell out of them, Ling Jiu!"

"It doesn't matter if you are an earthling or a Kryptonian!" Zeus slowly said, "You must die today!"

A powerful energy burst out of the twelve kings of gods as soon as his voice trailed off. It swept across the entire pantheon and then spread outside in all directions.

Many journalists felt their chests tighten, as if they were carrying a boulder. They could not help but go down to their knees. Even the gods in the pantheon were forced back at once.

Only Ling Jiu was still standing still. The energy force felt like a breeze blowing into his face.

"Bring it on. I have been waiting for this moment for a long time."

Ling Jiu rose into the air. He performed a Blink Arcana and appeared in the air outside the pantheon.

The twelves kings of the gods faded into dozens of streams of light to come to the outside and encircled Ling Jiu. "Don't ever think of getting away, you mortal!"

"Die!" Zeus roared. A silvery thunderbolt struck down from heaven like a thunder dragon with a loud clap and struck Ling Jiu.

"Mortal, you have sinned!" Odin was wielding a scepter and pointed at Ling Jiu with it. A golden rainbow tore through heaven and earth like a peerless divine sword to strike at Ling Jiu.

"Alala!" Poseidon wielded his trident with a water dragon formed by blue tadpoles on the surface slamming into Ling Jiu.

"Go to hell, human!" A pair of black mist wings spread out behind Hades, the god of the underworld. Countless black giant claws shot out from the wings and grabbed at Ling Jiu.

"Eat this, human!" Thor, the god of thunder; Ra, the god of the sun; Horus, the god of the sky; Anubis, the god of death; and the three highest gods of Hindu all attacked at once.

Twelves different moves of attack shot out at the same time, as if they were to grind Ling Jiu's bones to dust and obliterate his soul so that he could not live another life.

"What a terrifying attack!"

"Can Ling Jiu make it?"

People were on the edge of their seats.

"He is going to make it! He will!"

People were clenching their fists.

"Hang in there!"

Everyone was watching with bated breath.

Chapter 316: Shooting Three Arrows in a Row, Killing the King in Seconds

How powerful were the twelve gods when they joined forces?

No one knew.

The journalists and even the gods standing on the square were watching with bated breath when they sensed the destructive energy of the twelve gods.

They felt that even the aftershock of this energy, not to mention the actual attack, could pulverize them.

Too powerful and terrible!

"Can Ling Jiu hold out?"

Netizens were waiting with bated breath.

Ling Jiu was the calmest person among those at the scene. The corner of his mouth curled up in a smirk as attacks came in all directions.

"What makes a bunch of feckless doofus like you all can kill me? Who gives you the confidence?"

"Void Devouring!" Ling Jiu opened his mouth.

The next moment, a giant silvery phantom beast, which was tens of thousands of meters long, appeared above Ling Jiu's head.

Baroom!

The giant beast swallowed the twelve attacks, almost like a solar eclipse. It had even swallowed the void in their surroundings.

Baroom!

The world fell into silence while the silvery giant beast was swallowing the twelve kings of gods.

"Sh*t!"

"Fall back!"

The face of the twelve kings of gods changed drastically as they withdrew.

They moved quickly and retreated a few miles away in the blink of an eye, avoiding the swallowing attack.

"So quick to run!" Ling Jiu chuckled and withdrew his Void Devouring. The void in the surroundings recovered as the phantom of the Void Behemoth disappeared.

"Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t!"

"He swallowed it again! The attack of the twelve kings of gods was swallowed again!"

"This skill is incredibly similar to how he swallowed the Insectoid army last time. What is this ability?"

"Incredible! Absolutely powerful! He was downright sick when he devoured the attack of the twelve kings of the gods so effortlessly."

Everyone was shocked, going into a frenzy online when people saw Ling Jiu's move.

In fact, they were not the only ones feeling shocked.

"Who is this guy? What ability is that? He swallowed all our attacks in one breath!"

Those gods standing on the square of the pantheon looked a little surprised, as they had never seen this ability.

"I suppose it is some kind of dimensional ability." Zeus's face was grim. "He is good, but he still has to die."

Bolts of lightning burst out of Zeus as soon as his voice trailed off. These lightning bolts combined and formed into a long silvery river.

The long silvery river crackled, as if countless birds were chirping and singing, revealing a powerful force of unparalleled terror.

"A Disgusting mortal, no one can save you today!"

Zeus snorted, his body fusing with the long silvery river as he lunged at Ling Jiu.

This long silvery river was his killer move, a lightning attack move, formed completely by the Law of Thunder and Lightning, capable of destroying everything.

It had exceptional attack ability.

It could destroy not only human bodies but also human souls. Zeus was confident that he could injure Ling Jiu severely with this ability.

Ling took out a golden bow and arrow with the flip of his hand, just as the silvery river was about to hit him.

The bow and arrow were golden, and the bowstring was red, exuding a breathtaking and terrifying coercive force.

"Your Majesty Zeus, this bow killed a super-clustered being before. And you will be next."

Ling Jiu sneered as he took out a bow and an arrow, and pulled the bowstring back. The golden arrow shot out with a twang as he released the bowstring.

Whoosh!

The arrow pierced through the void and vanished. When it reappeared, it was not far away from Zeus.

It shocked Zeus as the arrow shot through the silvery river formed by the Law of Thunder and Lightning, and came within inches away from him.

"That's impossible!" Zeus's face changed drastically. He felt an air of death in this arrow. He could be seriously injured, if not die, if this arrow hit him.

Holding nothing back, Zeus summoned lightning bolts and performed a Dominion of God, turning tens of miles of space into an ocean of lightning.

Zeus got an enormous boost in strength with Dominion of God. He wanted to parry the arrow with Dominion of God.

Unfortunately, the golden bow and arrow were far more powerful than Zeus thought.

The arrow flew through Dominion of God, just like Hou Yi's sun shooting skill. It then pierced through the center of Zeus's forehead to the horror of Zeus before it exited from the back of his head.

Zeus froze on the spot, motionless. Everyone could see blood oozing out of the wound on Zeus's forehead.

"How—how could this be possible?"

The faces of the other eleven kings of gods changed drastically, horror filling their eyes.

They were not the only ones feeling shocked. The other gods in the square were also horrified and could not believe that Zeus was killed.

"No. This did not happen. It is not real."

"His Majesty the King of Gods is the most powerful being of the Greek pantheon. He became the king of the gods thousands of years ago. How could he be killed? This is impossible!"

"How could the king of the gods be killed?"

As horrified as those gods were, they could not stop Zeus's death. Zeus's body appeared in the sky as the ocean of lightning dissipated.

Zeus plunged from the sky and crashed through the roof of the pantheon below.

He was dead.

He was killed by an arrow.

No one could have imagined that Zeus, the third generation king of the gods, who ruled the Greek pantheon for thousands of years, would die here in such circumstances.

This was something unimaginable, incredible, and unbelievable.

While everyone was still in shock, Ling Jiu was making another move. He took out a golden arrow again, loaded it on the bowstring, and aimed it at the second king of the gods.

Once the killing started, it was not going to end easily. Moreover, Ling Jiu had no plans to stop. He would take no prisoners, be them the gods or the Kryptonians.

This time, Ling Jiu locked his eyes on Poseidon, the god of the sea.

While Poseidon, the god of the sea, was still in shock from the death of Zeus, a cold wind suddenly engulfed him. His heart skipped a beat.

He found himself frozen in place before he could do anything. The next moment, a golden arrow traveled through the void and appeared in front of him.

Shhtaab! Poseidon's body stiffened as he felt a sharp pain coming from his forehead.

"I—I couldn't believe I would die here at the hands of a mortal!"

Poseidon murmured, disbelief filling his gradually closing eyes as his body plunged from the sky.

The second king of gods was dead.

"Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t!"

"How could this happen?"

"How could this happen?"

People went into a frenzy online again.

People were absolutely shocked.

At first, they were worried about Ling Jiu.

They could not help it.

As talented as Ling Jiu was, he was only twenty—too young.

What he was facing were twelve kings of the gods. Could he beat opponents like the twelve kings of the gods?

Everyone was a bundle of nerves.

The most they expected of Ling Jiu was for him to survive the attack of the twelve kings of gods.

In this way, Earth would at least have a being who could counter the gods and the Kryptonians.

And the gods and the Kryptonians would not run amuck on Earth, and earthlings would undergo tremendous changes.

But reality gave everyone such a pleasant surprise. Ling Jiu could not only match the strength of the kings of the gods but also kill two of them in a row with arrows.

He had exceptional ability. He was absolutely powerful.

Excitement spread online. Ling Jiu did not stop there. Instead, he once again took out a golden arrow and aimed it at a third king of gods.

This time, he was aiming at Hades, the god of the underworld.

"No!"

Hades's face changed drastically. With no hesitation, he ran, despite unfitting the king of the gods. He couldn't care less, as it was a matter of life and death. Staying alive was more important than preserving his ego.

He realized that Ling Jiu had the ability of wiping out all the kings of the gods, and he would only end up like Zeus and Poseidon if he stayed.

So he had to flee.

He had to flee as far as he could.

He wanted to flee this place for good.

Only then he would be safe.

"Thinking of running away? It's too late."

Ling Jiu pulled the bowstring with a sneer.

Whoosh!

The golden arrow shot out, coming behind Hades in less than 1/100,000 seconds before penetrating the back of his head.

Chapter 317: Obliterating All Kings of the Gods, Wiped Out

There was dead silence over the pantheon.

From Zeus striking to Ling Jiu killing Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, it all took but just a few breaths.

It was incredibly quick.

It had happened almost in the blink of an eye.

Before everyone knew it, the three kings of the gods were dead.

Everyone was dumbfounded, and people were horrified.

The hundreds of gods on the pantheon square were looking in disbelief, their eyes wide open.

The billions of netizens were watching the live stream with their mouths wide open. They looked at the demon-like figure in the sky with their eyes on stalks.

"Impressive!"

"He killed three powerful kings of the gods with just three bolts!"

"The so-called king of the gods, the beings above the gods, were as weak as three ants in front of Ling Jiu?"

"Incredibly powerful! Is he a human? He must be a monster!"

"We are talking about Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades! They are the king of the gods, sea god, and underworld god, respectively, in the Greek mythology. I can't believe that Ling Jiu killed them with just three bolts!"

Netizens were shocked and could not say a word, as Ling Jiu's strength was completely beyond their imagination.

"I didn't know that he had become so strong!"

Ai Yuhe muttered to herself, suddenly regretting what she did last time. Had she not said what she said back then, she and Ling Jiu could have been together.

But it was too late to say anything now.

"I knew he had something up his sleeve when he appeared in the pantheon alone. Ling Jiu never did things he was not confident of."

Zhou Ji mumbled to himself, his fists tightly clenched together. He was sad to find that he was not even fit to look up to Ling Jiu now.

"How could this be? How could this be?"

Hirano Hatake was despondent and felt cold all over him. He suddenly regretted it. Had he not betrayed…

But there was no if in this world.

The bodies of the sea god Poseidon and the underworld god Hades slowly plunged from the air and finally hit the ground on Mount Olympus with muffled thuds.

The sound awakened everyone, and also the nine kings of gods who were stupefied.

Odin, the king of the Norse deities, stared at Ling Jiu, his voice trembling uncontrollably. "Who are you? Who are you, really?"

As the leading god of the Norse deities, Odin had not been in such an embarrassing gaffe in a long time.

But at this moment, not only was he completely discomposed, but his face turned pale with fright.

He could not believe that a powerful being like Ling Jiu was just a mortal. How could a mortal be stronger than the gods?

"The one who will kill you."

Ling Jiu uttered faintly. The three bolts that killed Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades flew back with the wave of his hand.

Grabbing one of them, he loaded it on the bow, gently pulled the bowstring, and aimed at Odin, the king of the gods.

"How dare you try to kill my father!"

Thor, the god of thunder, standing next to Odin, faded into a bolt of silvery lightning as he lunged toward Ling Jiu.

He wielded the Mjölnir and struck it down at Ling Jiu, determined to smash him into dead meat.

Thor was desperate. When Ling Jiu could even kill Zeus with an arrow, he did not think that his father, who was also the king of the gods just like Zeus, could withstand Ling Jiu's arrow strike.

"No one can stop me from killing anyone!"

Ling Jiu shot a glance at Thor, who froze in the air, motionless, as if he had been struck by lightning.

Afterwards, Ling Jiu aimed his bow at Odin and released the arrow.

Odin seemed to have expected his ending long ago. He did not dodge, but watched quietly. The next moment, the golden arrow pierced through his forehead.

"I didn't expect that I, Odin, would die at the hands of a mortal."

Odin mumbled to himself, life in his eyes fading away as he gradually lost his vitality. He dropped dead to the ground with his head hitting the ground.

He died, following in the footsteps of Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades.

At this time, Thor could move again. But before he could attack, Ling Jiu shot out another arrow. The golden arrow pierced through Thor's forehead, killing him at once. Thor did not even have a chance to fight back.

Ling Jiu, who had evolved nine perfect stellar systems, was the most perfect, apex galactic being.

Combined with his powerful soul, killing enemies above his rank could not be easier.

This was the strength of a perfect galactic being, who was far more powerful than ordinary super-clustered beings.

Two kings of the gods had died in the blink of an eye. Fear overwhelmed the three kings of the gods of the Egyptian deities. They faded into three rainbows as they scrambled to flee into the distance.

They wanted to run as far as possible.

Running away from this place forever.

They did not want to die.

They wanted to live.

Upon seeing what happened, the three supreme gods of the Hindu deities also fled like a bat out of hell.

They could not bother about their image as the kings of the gods at this moment.

Dignity was not worth a penny right now.

All they wanted at this moment to live, making it out of here alive.

"Flee? It's too late."

Ling Jiu gently shook his head as he took out six arrows and loaded them on the golden bow at the same time. Pulling back the bowstring, he then released the six arrows at once.

The six arrows vanished as soon as they left the bow.

The next moment, they reappeared dozens of kilometers away, right behind the six kings of the gods.

Sshhluck! Sshhluck! Sshhluck!

Six counts of piercing sound rang through the air, and a blood hole appeared in the forehead of each of the six kings of gods.

They stopped moving after that.

Everyone was struck dumb again.

Whether it was the gods standing on Mount Olympus, or the billions of viewers sitting at home watching the live stream—they were all struck dumb.

Stupefied. Flabbergasted.

They were all struck dumb.

The six kings of the gods just died like that?

Was it not too simple?

Ling Jiu waved his hand and the bodies of the six kings of gods quietly appeared in front of him.

He glanced at them and put them away. He then looked at Loki, the last king of the gods, the god of fire of the Norse deities.

My—my lord… Spare my life, please!"

Loki's voice was trembling, his face pale. He felt that Ling Jiu was a hundred times more terrifying than the Nidhogg, Ymir, and Jörmungandr.

He dared not run.

He just wanted to beg Ling Jiu for mercy.

"Spare your life? I didn't know that gods would also beg for mercy." Ling Jiu shook his head and smiled. As he reached out to touch Loki's forehead, Loki's head exploded instantly.

"He is dead."

"They are all dead."

The gods standing on Mount Olympus trembled as they looked at the figure standing proudly in the sky.

Many gods were in fear, their teeth chattering. Could they survive when the 12 kings of gods were dead.

In thousands of years of life, those gods had never felt so helpless, desperate, and frightened like now.

What could they do other than fear and despair?

They could do nothing.

Run?

Those kings of the gods had tried. But could they escape?

Beg for mercy?

Did it work?

Loki, the god of fire, had tried. But Ling Jiu still did not let him go.

So what should they do?

Of course, the rookie gods, namely the Earthling traitors, were equally frightened and desperate.

These include Derek Rothschild, the Greek god of wealth; Clement Solomon, the Hindu god of forests; Christian Brahman, the Hindu god of night; and Archibald Bronte, the Egyptian god of hounds.

These traitors were the ones who feared the most for their lives.

Could they live when even all other gods had died?

How could they survive?

They regretted it. Had they known this would be their end, they would not have become traitors.

Well, karma had come.

"The kings of the gods are dead. Now it is your turn."

Ling Jiu suddenly looked over at the remaining gods.

Chapter 318: Slaying All Deities, a Clean Sweep

"That's so cool!"

"Nice job!"

"Five years! It's been five years. I have never been so excited as I am now."

"They deserve it. These godd*mn gods were throwing their weight around when they first got here. They've never treated us, humans with any humanity. Now let them see how powerful humans are."

"From today onward, I am Ling Jiu's hardcore fan. Slandering him is equivalent to slandering me. I will make that person see reason."

"I am proud of this battle. The days when the gods rampage through the world will be gone forever. We humans will once again control our own destiny."

"There you go! Keep it up and kill all Kryptonians."

Countless bullet titles flew across the screen as people expressed their joy.

People were discussing in forums and Tieba with excitement.

Earthlings had been suppressed for too long.

Since the birth of the deities five years ago, and they ruled the earth with an iron fist, billions of humans on the earth have found themselves in dire straits.

Since then, humans had become slaves of the deities.

People were so happy now because the darkness had gone, and the sun was shining again.

But not all humans were happy, some desperate and terrified.

These people were those who defected to the deities earlier.

The Rothschild family, the Brontë family in Europe, the Flanagan family in America, and many ecclesiastics had voluntarily defected to the deities and served as slaves.

However, they were not the only ones. Many wealthy business people, aristocratic families, and consortia that had defected to the deities were on pins and needles right now.

The deities were over. What would await them since they had betrayed Earth and defected to the deities?

It went without saying that the government, the people, Ling Jiu, and everyone would not let them get away with it.

"Now, it's your turn." Ling Jiu flew over the pantheon and landed on the roof, overlooking the gods standing on the square. "What should I do with all of you?"

The gods looked at each other, bowing their heads without saying a word.

"Kill them all!"

A reporter suddenly roared, and his action instantly stirred up the other reporters, who raised their fists in the air in an uproar.

"Kill these scoundrels!"

"Kill them and drive them out of Earth!"

"These scoundrels have ruined our lives!"

Looking at the ecstatic reporters, billions of netizens gave their thumbs-up. "Good job! It's a pity that I'm not at the scene."

Ling Jiu beckoned, and all the reporters calmed down. He then looked at the horrified and desperate gods. "Have you heard that?"

Those gods remained silent.

"Since everyone wants all of you dead, you will all die."

While speaking, he performed a Void Devouring, swallowing all the gods on the square into the Floating Island.

He did not kill these people instantly but planned to hand them over to Leoux, who would turn them into living puppets and tree planters for him.

After he did this, he turned to face the cameras.

"Earth is our home. No one may violate it. Both the gods and the Kryptonians, who dare to invade Earth, will be killed without mercy!"

Billions of netizens watching the live stream broke out in a loud cheer

The Kryptonians had also heard what Ling Jiu said. General Zod and Kal's faces changed. There was anger in their eyes as they prepared to bring their men to attack the pantheon.

"Who does he think he is? If he thinks he is above super-clustered beings and dreams of killing us. He is sorely mistaken!"

General Zod forced his fist on the conference table, completely smashing it. "Follow me to Mount Olympus and kill this disgusting aborigine!"

"Aye, General!"

Dozens of Kryptonians rose into the sky as soon as General Zod's voice trailed off. They all faded into streams of light as they flew toward the pantheon.

Ling Jiu got a warning from Leoux as soon as those Kryptonians set off. "The Kryptonians are flying towards us, Ling Jiu."

"How many of them?" Ling Jiu's heart missed a beat.

"Sixty-six," Leoux said. "They are all super-clustered beings. Your appearance makes them feel threatened. They plan to kill you in the bud before you have fully grown up."

"Kill me? Heck!" Ling Jiu sneered. "Let them come. The Saiyan Golden Ape avatar needs to expand the Inner World, and I need gardeners to plant trees. They come at the right time. I just need to capture them and turn them into gardeners."

Leoux nodded in agreement.

"Leoux, I need to wipe out all the gods and Kryptonians in a clean sweep. Make sure no one gets away," Ling Jiu said.

"You got it." Leoux broke into a smile of confidence. "Now the entire Earth is under my surveillance. Besides, I have sealed off the earth. Anyone may get in but not out. So whether the gods or the Kryptonians will be here to stay. No one escapes."

"I know I can trust you."

"Ling Jiu!"

"Ling Jiu!"

Just then, voices came as dozens of streams of light came from the distance. They were none other than Emperor Might, Vulcan, Bai Ya, and others.

"You've all come!" Ling Jiu greeted them with a smile.

"D*mn, you're quick! Come on, man! How could you kill all the gods without waiting for us?" Vulcan jokingly gave Ling Jiu a punch in the chest.

Others had a similar expression, too. They all had prepared for a big fight when they set off from Chang'an Base City together this morning.

They did not expect that Ling Jiu would beat them to the punch, having everything under control. They wished they were here early.

"Wipe them out in one clean sweep? No!" Ling Jiu shook his head. "According to the intel I obtained, only one-tenth of the gods are taking part in the meeting this time. With the exception of the Greek deities, other gods from other pantheons have remained in their lairs. For example, there are dozens of Norse gods still in Asgard, and dozens of Egyptian deities are in Egyptian. Not forgetting the Persian, Mayan, Japanese, and other deities. Many of them are still alive. All of you can have them."

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard what Ling Jiu said. There were over a thousand gods, but only the major gods had come to the meeting while the others had stayed behind.

Those gods were also the targets to be destroyed.

"You have killed the kings of the gods. Leave these little guys to them. Don't you think of taking them all to yourself?"

"Absolutely. They are ours. Don't you ever think of taking them all for yourself again."

Everyone could not sit still. After saying hello to Ling Jiu, they left at once.

Report chapter

Chapter 319: Formidable Enemy, It's You

"Wait a minute! Who did I just see? Isn't that Emperor Might, the chairperson of Pangu Arcana Combine? Oh, Vulcan is also here. Are they all back?

"It's them. It's definitely them. I can't be wrong."

"Great! The stellar beings of Earth are back finally. Now, the Kryptonians' time is up."

"Five years! It has been five years! Today is my happiest day. That's great. They are finally back."

"Come on, kill all the gods, and then wipe out the Kryptonians."

Emperor Might and others had only been back for a dozen seconds, yet it had set off a blockbuster-like uproar on Earth.

Five years ago, the deities were born, leading to the death, exile, and betrayer of many stellar beings. Humans would never forget that pain.

Without the presence of the stellar beings, Earth had plunged into dire straits.

Humans on Earth had learned the hard way the importance of the Arcanists.

How would they not rejoice when stellar beings like Emperor Might Huang and Vulcan were back?

Of course, Ling Jiu did not know all of this. He had deliberately sent Vulcan and others away.

The Kryptonians were coming. He wanted to capture them alive at once and turned them into tree-planting gardeners. It would be difficult to do that if Emperor Might and others were present.

"When will the Kryptonians arrive, Leoux?" Ling Jiu asked.

"Five minutes max, judging their speed," Leoux replied.

"Then let's wait for them."

Ling Jiu sat cross-legged on the roof of the pantheon and waited quietly.

He could not wait for the arrival of the Kryptonians—66 super-clustered beings.

He wanted to capture and turn them into his living puppets, his most useful gardeners.

He could not wait any longer.

"What is Ling Jiu doing?"

Billions of netizens watching the live stream were puzzled at seeing Ling Jiu sitting down.

"He must have been exhausted after the battle. Is he catching his breath now?"

"It doesn't look like that is what he is doing but more like waiting for someone."

"Waiting for someone? Who is he waiting for?"

"Your guess is as good as mine."

Time passed quickly while the netizens were in puzzlement.

Five minutes later, dozens of light streams flew through the void in their direction like fighter jets, roaring in the sky at supersonic speed.

"What is that?"

The phenomenon attracted the attention of a group of reporters on the pantheon square. They all trained their cameras at the fast-approaching light.

"What's going on?"

"What was that?"

"D*mn! That was loud! Are those supersonic fighter jets? Did all of you hear the sonic boom?"

Billions of netizens were taken aback, eyes glued to the computer screen as dozens of streams of light approached and stopped in the air over the pantheon.

They could finally see what those things were. It was a group of warriors. They were all strong and wearing black armor.

"The Kryptonians."

"They're Kryptonians."

"D*mn! What are they doing here?"

"What are they trying to do? Are they going to attack Ling Jiu?"

The netizens were shocked. At first, they still had faith in Ling Jiu, hoping that he could kill all the Kryptonians.

However, seeing so many Kryptonians at once, they fell silent.

Looking at those Kryptonians bursting with powerful aura and intimidating strength, they knew the Kryptonians were at the level of the kings of the gods. Could Ling Jiu really take on so many of them at once?

"It looks like he is in trouble. Can he beat them?"

"He will. Ling Jiu will definitely beat them."

"Absolutely. Ling Jiu will definitely defeat them. We humans will be done for if he fails."

"There you are."

Ling Jiu got to his feet and looked at the 66 super-clustered Kryptonians with smiles in his eyes.

He would kill none of these Kryptonians—they all made the best gardeners. It would be a massive waste to kill even one.

"Human, you are under thirty yet can kill super-clustered beings. That's truly amazing. There are few indigenous beings like you in the entire galaxy. Now I will give you a chance."

The leading Kryptonian, who had a squared face, broad ears, stared icily at Ling Jiu. "Kneel and surrender to us immediately. Otherwise, I will make today your death anniversary next year."

The Kryptonian who spoke was General Zod, one of the two highest-ranking Kryptonians, and the highest leader of the Atlantic Kryptonians.

Humans staring in front of the screens were furious.

"Those scoundrels are asking Ling Jiu to surrender. Who gave them the courage?"

"Shameless. Ling Jiu has killed many kings of the gods. He may be stronger than all Kryptonians. Yet they want Ling Jiu to surrender. Are those scoundrels suffering from brain short-circuits?"

"All of you want me to surrender?" Ling Jiu sneered. "You must all have a delusion and a short-circuit in your brains."

"How dare you!" a Kryptonian yelled. "You lowlife aborigine. Do you know who you are speaking to? He is the Honorable General Zod. Mind your language!"

"The Honorable General Zod?" Ling Jiu sneered. "You're all just a bunch of whipped dogs. What honorable are you talking about?"

"You have a death wish!"

All the Kryptonians were enraged by what Ling Jiu said.

He had just said something that hurt them the most.

Their home planet Krypton had been destroyed, and they had nowhere to go. They were indeed like whipped dogs.

"You will die, human!"

General Zod roared, his voice exploding like muffled thunder, shaking the air for hundreds of miles. The reporters' eardrums rand as they put their heads in their hands in pain.

The terrifying sound waves formed into substantive ripples, which spread like a Category 10 typhoon.

The billions of people watching the live stream had their hearts in their mouths when they saw what happened.

"So what?" Ling Jiu said with a shrug. "You can't kill me, anyway. By the way, I forgot to tell you one thing."

He then form-shifted into a Golden Saiyan Ape.

General Zod's heart skipped a beat and roared angrily. "It's you!"

Some of the 66 Kryptonians also yelled in fury, "It's you, the robber, godd*mn thief!"

"What is going on?"

Kal looked at General Zod with a puzzled look on his face. He did not know why General Zod and others became so agitated when Ling Jiu had form shifted.

"I had over one thousand Kryptonians with me. But someone snatched over three hundred of them away. This scoundrel is that abductor."

General Zod gritted his teeth as he stared at Ling Jiu angrily. How he wished he could beat Ling Jiu into dead meat now.

Report chapter

Chapter 320: The Difference Is Apparent, a Gang Fight Breaks Out

General Zod was furious.

There were few Kryptonians at first. Every one of them had worked very hard. It had taken them a hundred years to grow their population from sixteen to over a thousand on Atlantis.

However, Ling Jiu had snatched over 300 of them away at once, directly reducing the number of Kryptonians by one-third. How could General Zod not be furious?

It had taken the Kryptonians thousands of days and nights of hard work to achieve this.

"Godd*mn thief! I will smash you into dead meat, grind your bones to dust, and torture your soul night and day!" There was a murderous look in General Zod's eyes.

"I don't like bloodshed," Ling Jiu said. "I will not kill you or the rest. Instead, I will capture you all and modify your mindset, turning you all into my most loyal slaves to serve me forever."

After he said that, he smiled before he added, "Do you know what happened to the 300 Kryptonians whom I have captured?"

"Let me tell you, they are still alive, enjoying their lives as my slaves."

"What did you just say?" General Zod's face changed drastically. "You said they are still alive?"

"Of course." Ling Jiu still had a smile on his face. "Would you like to see them? I can grant you the wish."

He waved his hand and released the 300 or so Kryptonians from the Floating Island.

These captured Kryptonians had hardly changed in their appearance. So, General Zod instantly recognized them.

He was very excited. "Good, good! You are all still alive."

The other Kryptonians were excited too. However, what the 300 Kryptonians did subsequently shocked General Zod and all the other Kryptonians.

The 300 Kryptonians went down to their knees in front of Ling Jiu. "At your service, Master."

"Asaro, what the hell are you doing?" General Zod asked in anger. "You are all noble Kryptonian warriors. How can you kneel for a lowly human aborigine? Get up!"

"How dare you!"

General Zod just spoke as he always did. Sadly, he and the 65 other Kryptonians did not expect the Kryptonian named Asaro behind Ling Jiu to shout at him. "How dare you be disrespectful to our master, zealot! Do you want to die?"

"What the hell did you just say, Asaro?"

General Zod and the other 65 Kryptonians thought they had heard it wrong.

"As I said, they have been transformed into my most loyal slaves. They have only one thought, to carry out my will," Ling Jiu said. "In their minds, I am God and a supreme being, and my dignity is inviolable."

General Zod took a deep breath, and his voice filled with endless anger as well as hatred. "Human, I will tear you into pieces!"

"Oh, yeah? I'm afraid you can't do that—not in this lifetime." Ling Jiu laughed out loud. "Don't worry, like I said, I won't kill you. But I will make you the same as them."

Ling Jiu stomped his feet on the roof of the pantheon, and the pantheon, which was built of gold, collapsed with a rumble, turning into a pile of ruins. Meanwhile, Ling Jiu faded into a stream of light and shot toward General Zod and others.

"D*mn! Is he going to fight 66 opponents alone?"

"Strong! He is so strong!"

"I'm so nervous, my palms sweating. Come on, Ling Jiu. The future of Earth is in your hands!"

"You can do it, Ling Jiu! You will kill those Kryptonians!"

"Die, human!"

General Zod charged forward at once.

He was nearly two meters tall, and his knotted muscles burst with explosive power, as though they were cast from rigid steel.

"Ling Jiu, this guy named General Zod is second to the Kryptonian named Kal next to him." Leoux's voice rang in Ling Jiu's mind. "He is a super-cluster Level 6. Be careful."

"I know what I'm doing," Ling Jiu replied.

"Human, I want you dead!"

General Zod appeared in front of Ling Jiu in a flash, summoning all his strength as he struck out a punch, as if a round shot fired from a large-caliber gun.

"You want to fight? I'm not afraid of you."

Ling Jiu howled with laughter as he struck out a punch to meet General Zod.

The Saiyan Golden Ape clone might be galactic Level-7 only, which was significantly lower than General Zod, but Ling Jiu had no fear.

A terrifying power gushed out from all over his body and finally gathered in his right fist to greet General Zod's punch.

Clash!

The two fists collided with a loud pow. A burst of violent shock waves spread out from the point of collision in all directions. The surrounding void was torn apart like a piece of fragile paper.

The sky above the pantheon turned into a black hole while both Ling Jiu and General Zod were forced back at the same time.

Ling Jiu retreated as far as dozens of miles, while General Zod only a few hundred meters.

The difference in strength was apparent.

Apparently, General Zod was better than Ling Jiu in terms of brute-force strength.

Nevertheless, it still shocked General Zod. "Human, you are much better than I thought, but that is it. I won't let you continue to grow. Die now!"

General Zod faded into a stream of light once again. He gathered all his strength, intending to kill Ling Jiu on the spot.

The corners of Ling Jiu's mouth curled up in a strange smile and powerful energy burst out of his body as he struck again.

Bwoom!

It was another horrible collision with the void exploding into a black hole again. The released energy was even more violent than the last time. But the outcome surprised everyone.

General Zod, who had gotten the upper hand in the first round, lost. His right arm broke apart like fragile glass.

"How could this be possible?"

His face changed drastically. The other 65 Kryptonians watching the battle in the distance were equally shocked.

"Didn't the general have the upper hand just now? Why did he lose this time?" A Kryptonian wondered.

No one knew why, except for General Kal. His face was grave. "Apparently this cunning human was concealing his strength earlier."

"Concealing his strength?"

All the Kryptonians' faces sank. "This despicable human!"

"I didn't know that you've achieved this level of strength!" General Zod stared dead at Ling Ji as shock, horror, and disbelief flashed in his eyes.

"I only used one-tenth of my strength the first time we clashed…" Ling Jiu smirked. "…and half this time."

"How could this be possible?" General Zod's face was grave.

"I told you, you don't stand a chance."

Ling Jiu flicked his fingers. "Kryptonians like you are all destined to be my living puppets and serve me forever."

"Bullsh*t!" General Zod roared angrily "Kill him for me, everyone!"

General Zod knew he was no match for Ling Jiu. He could only pin his hope on his men, joining hands together to kill Ling Jiu.

"Aye, General!"

Some Kryptonians shot towards Ling Jiu without any hesitation, while some looked over at General Kal in unison.

"General, what shall we do?"

"Kill him," Kal slowly said. "This human is too unusual. He must die now, or else, he will pose endless trouble to us."

"Aye, General!"

The remaining Kryptonians lunged out to join the gang fight.

"Come on, let's have a good fight!"

Ling Jiu guffawed as he lunged up to meet those Kryptonians. A world-shaking battle broke out at once.
