Chapter 550: Chapter 549: Chu Sheng: Hahaha! Success! I Am the God of This World
The aftershocks of that sword strike had yet to dissipate, but Gong Xuan felt as if he had been brutally dragged back from the brink of hell.
He had survived!
That bloody figure, that lord from the Divine Revelation Era, had actually blocked the world-ending sword strike!
And he had even saved him!!
After the shock came an unparalleled ecstasy and excitement that almost made him tremble.
’A million years ago, who wasn’t in the Divine Realm?’
What kind of imposing presence was this! What kind of existence!
A million years ago... that was the legendary Divine Revelation Era! This lord was actually a genuine Ancient God from the Divine Revelation Era!
’No wonder! No wonder he could so easily suppress the curse on my body!’
’Everything he said was true! He can really save me!’
At this moment, the last trace of hesitation and doubt in Gong Xuan’s heart vanished, replaced by an even more frenzied worship and belief.
"Hurry, speed up the altar’s operation!" the tattered, illusory figure roared.
The reason he had forcibly saved Gong Xuan was that the man was still useful.
He needed Gong Xuan to accelerate the sacrifice and help him reconstruct his physical body as quickly as possible. The vanished Ancestral Hall and that mosquito still made him feel extremely uneasy.
At the same time, Gong Xuan’s Emperor Realm strength could also serve as his guardian for the time being.
This was to guard against any other trump cards Gu Yuexi might have.
"My lord! I understand!"
Gong Xuan roared, his eyes filled with fanaticism. Without hesitation, he once again forced out a large amount of his life-source Essence Blood and frantically poured it into the altar beneath his feet!
Following his reckless activation, the altar’s light surged once more, and the speed of the bloody torrent throughout the Witch Ancestral Land suddenly accelerated!
"AHHH—!"
"Help! My body!"
In the Holy Temple Square, some of the Witch Race People finally couldn’t hold on any longer!
The bodies of those below the Third-Grade shriveled at a visible rate, their life force dissipating in an instant as they became fodder for the altar.
"Gong Xuan! You beast! You’ll get what’s coming to you!"
"You’ll die a dog’s death! You’ve betrayed the entire Witch Race!"
Countless Witch Race People cursed in despair, including Yao and the others outside the stone hall.
But Gong Xuan turned a deaf ear. Looking like a madman, he roared at the despairing faces outside:
"I just want to live! What have I done wrong?!"
"You can pin your hopes on a ridiculous Mosquito Beast, so why can’t I rely on a true Ancient God?!"
"Go on, cry out! Call for that bullshit Holy Mosquito to save you!!"
His words struck the heart of every Witch Race member like a heavy hammer.
Everyone trembled with anger, but their hearts sank even deeper into despair.
’That’s right... even that woman’s divinely powerful sword strike couldn’t kill him.’
’Look at her pale and weak face now; she’s clearly been drained. Forget another sword strike, Gong Xuan could probably kill her easily right now.’
’Who could possibly save them now?’
’The Holy Mosquito?’
’That coward who didn’t even dare to break into the second floor of the Ancestral Hall and just played dead inside for half the day?’
’Pinning their hopes on it... thinking back now, it was a colossal joke.’
A reasonable speculation surfaced in the minds of many.
’The disappearance of the Ancestral Hall was probably the work of this Ancient God, right?’
’He probably sacrificed the Ancestral Hall long ago. As for that mosquito, it most likely got scared out of its wits and is hiding in some corner.’
Yao’s eyes dimmed completely, filled with despair.
’Could it be... was I really wrong about it?’
"An Ancient God..."
Inside the stone hall, Gu Yuexi’s face was indeed deathly pale. That one sword strike had nearly exhausted all of her essence, energy, and Spirit.
But her eyes, far from being desperate, burned with an unprecedented light.
"I never thought the first time I saw the so-called Divine Realm with my own eyes, it would be in a scene like this."
’So this is a god? Even as just a remnant soul, it can withstand the might of my previously invincible Divine Sword!’
’More importantly, this remnant soul of an Ancient God also proved one thing—those in the Divine Realm can also die!’
’And that Forbidden God Law enveloping the entire Blue Star, it can stop the Human Race of an entire planet from ascending to godhood!’
’Just what kind of terrifying existence could have laid down such a Law?’
’Ascending to godhood... perhaps it really is just the beginning!’
Gu Yuexi saw infinite possibilities in the future, and at the same time, she felt... that she had somewhat wasted her previous life.
When the bloody, illusory figure saw the anticipation and longing in her eyes, it was stunned on the spot.
’Has this woman gone mad?’
"You... you’re about to die. Aren’t you afraid?" he couldn’t help but ask in surprise.
"Hah." A slight smile played on Gu Yuexi’s lips. "You think you can kill me?"
"?"
The bloody, illusory figure froze, completely unable to understand where her baseless confidence came from.
Gu Yuexi’s confidence was simple.
Just ten minutes ago.
Not long after the Ancestral Hall disappeared, a young man’s voice had unexpectedly sounded in her mind.
"Not a big deal. Just buy me some time—ten minutes is all I need! I can solve everything!"
’Who?’
’Who’s sending me a voice transmission?’
The next second, she realized that this thought originated from the Soul Contract between her and the mosquito.
’It’s him?!’
’This damn mosquito can talk now?’
Previously, Chu Sheng’s thoughts had never appeared in the form of a voice; they were always understood intuitively through the contract. This time, he was speaking directly!
’Oh, right, he’s King-level now.’
’His Mental Power is beginning to transform into the higher-level Soul Power, so being able to transmit his voice isn’t that strange.’
’He probably didn’t do it before because he wasn’t used to it yet.’
’Hmph, now that he can transmit his voice, that damn mosquito’s mouth is definitely going to get even more annoying.’
’I should probably ignore him for now, lest I lose a war of words.’
Gu Yuexi hadn’t replied at the time, simply buying time as he had requested.
Now, ten minutes had passed.
...
"Oh? Your little mosquito seems to have fainted in that patch of ruins."
As his form became more solid, the Perception Power of the bloody, illusory figure also continued to increase. He could now clearly sense a faint, motionless aura in the ruins where the Ancestral Hall had disappeared.
The final weight in his heart was finally lifted.
He had been truly afraid—afraid that the disappearance of the Ancestral Hall was related to the mosquito, afraid that it truly had the ability to control the core of the Ancestral Hall.
The core of the Ancestral Hall was the core of this grotto-heaven world. To control it was to control the entire world, to be nearly omnipotent here!
Before his physical body was successfully reconstructed and he could use his divine abilities, he was no match for a Lord of Worlds within their own domain!
’It seems I was overthinking things.’
The disappearance of the Ancestral Hall had nothing to do with the mosquito, and it couldn’t possibly have grasped the core of the Ancestral Hall.
As it turned out, the creature was just a useless piece of trash that was all show and no go.
Meanwhile, his physical body was gradually solidifying. In half an hour at most, its reconstruction would be complete!
Everything was set in stone!
The Ancient God was overjoyed. He then spoke to Gu Yuexi in a patronizing tone, "Hehe, your talent and comprehension are both Top Notch, young lady. After this seat reconstructs his physical body, I might consider taking you as a slave and sparing your life..."
"Dumbass," Gu Yuexi said flatly.
"?" The Ancient God was stunned again. ’What does that word mean? I’ve never heard it in the last million years.’
Just then, that annoying, smug voice once again rang in Gu Yuexi’s mind.
"Haha, I’m not lacking anything now!"
Gu Yuexi’s eyes lit up. She immediately communicated in her mind, "You’re done? Get over here and take care of this thing!"
"What’s your damn hurry! I am the god of this world now! A god doesn’t need to show up in person!"
"You! Weak woman! I permit you to become my follower! I shall grant you Divine Power!"
"Go forth! My foolish follower! Help this god slay this foolish invader!"
"Hahahaha! This feels awesome! So awesome! This is so damn cool! I have everything under control now! Hahahahaha!"
Gu Yuexi: "..."
’This voice is so damn annoying.’
’Even the mosquito’s previous buzzing sounded better than this.’
’By the way, what did he even do? What does he mean, he’s become the god of this world?’
At this moment, Gong Xuan saw Gu Yuexi looking down silently and assumed she had completely given up in despair. The vicious grin on his face grew even more unhinged. "Gu Yuexi, wasn’t that sword strike of yours so majestic earlier? How come you’re like a half-dead dog now, unable to even stand steady?"
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with venomous glee. "You thought you could turn the tables with that pathetic little trump card of yours? Dream on! Before the great Ancient God, you’re not even a fart!"
The illusory figure of the Ancient God in mid-air stopped talking, quietly waiting for the final victory to arrive. His occasional glances at Gu Yuexi were filled with contempt.
’Heh, in the end, this seat will be rebor—’
CRACK!
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!!
Suddenly!
Without any warning!
The twelve blood-red pillars of light shooting into the sky, along with the thirteenth altar beneath Gong Xuan’s feet, shattered with a deafening roar!
The sacrifice was interrupted!
"PUH—!"
Gong Xuan spat out a mouthful of blood, his face a mask of disbelief.
"This... is impossible!!"
The bloody, illusory figure’s expression twisted in horror as it let out a shriek of ultimate shock and rage!
...
(PS: Yesterday I reread the entire one million words, fixed some bugs, and found that there are still a lot of plot holes and some forgotten settings... I’m ashamed. It’s my first time writing something this long, so I lack experience.)
(This Witch Race plot is just a transitional arc to expand the larger world view. The protagonist’s main storyline will still be on Blue Star. There’s still a lot I want to write about on Blue Star, and many plot holes to fill...)
(I’d like to ask here if anyone feels there are any bugs in the settings, or any settings that have been dropped. I will try to find a way to tie them back in and make my first million-word novel as complete as possible. Thank you, everyone.)
