Redemption of a Born Demon

Chapter 477: Chapter 317: A God Roams the World, Unrestrained and Known to All (Part 2)

The Donghua Group was unaware of the East King’s true concerns, but the current situation still came as a relief.

The fact that this person wasn’t going on a killing spree was the best possible outcome. At the very least, it wouldn’t plunge the entire city, or even all of Donghua, into chaos.

But while a major catastrophe could be avoided, minor disturbances were inevitable.

After all, the city-wide martial law had caused an enormous commotion. Coupled with the East King’s own uninhibited and incredibly conspicuous behavior, it was impossible for him to go unnoticed.

A radiant light materialized, a Golden Crow soared across the sky—it was a miraculous scene impossible to conceal.

On the city streets the East King passed through, many residents who had received the order to stay home due to the martial law now witnessed this bizarre phenomenon with their own eyes.

"Holy crap, what the hell is that?! A giant golden bird?! I’m not dreaming, am I?"

"I’d guess its wingspan is over a hundred meters... Wait a minute! That shape, the three legs... It looks just like the legendary Three-legged Golden Crow!"

"An Exotic Beast from Myth has appeared in the real world?! Could the martial law today be because of this thing?"

"That’s very likely. This is too damn fantastical. Don’t tell me a cultivation civilization is invading our reality?"

"Do you guys remember that news video from a little while ago? Something similar seemed to happen over in the Mediterranean. A giant Celestial Eye appeared in the Sky, and the entire city of Jun City was thrown into chaos because of it. I heard a lot of innocent people died... Oh my god, what is happening to the world?"

"What should we do? Should we try to find a place to hide? We’re so close, won’t we be affected?"

"..."

The crowd erupted in discussion. Some worried for their safety, while others, just loving the drama, raised their phones to the sky and began filming furiously. They sent the videos to social media, friends, and group chats, causing the information to spread like wildfire. With such massive circulation and attention, completely suppressing the news was impossible, and it soon sparked a huge debate across all of Donghua.

The sight of the legendary Golden Crow soaring across the sky instantly caused a public uproar.

Regarding the incident in the Mediterranean Region, the relevant authorities in Donghua Country had been trying to suppress related news and domestic reports to reduce unnecessary panic among the public.

As a result, apart from netizens who followed the Martial Arts Dao community closely, a large portion of the general public knew very little about the events in the Mediterranean Region.

But as soon as the videos were leaked, numerous netizens began to draw their own comparisons to the incident in the Mediterranean Region.

"I heard that in the Mediterranean Region, some mysterious figures appeared who had broken the limits of life itself, living from ancient times to the present day. Their power is immense. That giant Celestial Eye over Jun City was the work of one of them. This Golden Crow looks incredibly lifelike, but I can’t shake the feeling that it lacks the dynamic presence of a living creature. Could a similar figure be pulling the strings behind the scenes?"

"Have any more videos leaked? Any closer ones? Like, what’s happening on the ground underneath the Golden Crow?"

"..."

In their discussions, the netizens noticed a few suspicious details.

But soon, more new videos were uploaded, and their questions were answered.

One netizen managed to get a close-up video of the ground beneath the Golden Crow.

In the video, a lone figure walked along the empty street.

His skin was like jade, his black hair was tied back, and he wore a feathered robe seemingly woven from pure light. He looked like one of the Immortal Gods wandering the mortal realm.

No movie or TV show could ever capture such an otherworldly image and aura.

The man walked in starts and stops. With every step, his figure would vanish and reappear dozens, even a hundred meters away, as if teleporting. Much of the time, the camera couldn’t even keep up with his form and had to be constantly readjusted.

The camera panned up, revealing that as this god-like figure flickered across the ground, the massive Golden Crow in the Sky followed close behind, directly overhead. And higher still, a large number of helicopters and fighter jets circled, tailing them.

All these videos proved one thing: the person on the ground was the source and center of it all.

"Holy shit, it’s really a person?! No, wait, maybe he should be called an ’Immortal’?!"

"That presence is so intense. I can feel the pressure even through the video. Is this even real? How is he moving like he’s teleporting? It looks like a video game lagging out."

"So the rumors were all true... There really are terrifying beings in this world who transcend the mundane. Just one person can force an entire city to do this?!"

"..."

The internet was flooded with voices of utter disbelief.

Donghua’s military might was already considered among the top one or two in the world.

For a situation like this to occur could only mean one thing: attempting to stop such a person would likely come at an immense cost.

If a person like this wasn’t a God, what was?

Even with the Martial Arts Dao now flourishing, with many people aware of the abilities of the Saint Realm, and even with the precedent of Yi Beidou wreaking havoc in Japan, the scene was still hard to believe.

After all, Donghua was not Japan.

The abilities of the Sleepers could, to a certain extent, be considered those of a God of the Human World. In ancient times, their actions would have been regarded as miracles.

Such beings no longer possessed the weaknesses of the Ancient Ones and had always acted without inhibition.

In fact, anyone willing to sift through historical records could find many similar accounts. It was only because technology was underdeveloped, population density was lower, and information spread so poorly in the past that these events gradually became the stuff of legends.

But this was the age of the information explosion. Once a being like this emerged and walked the earth, the entire world would know in an instant. It was impossible to hide.
