Stronger with Crimson Modifier

Chapter 468: Chapter 366: God of the Human World (Part 4)

Gazing at the vast space before her, she attributed it to her opponent’s immense power and thought no more of it.

With the rapid movement of her soul, amplified by her own Talent, it wasn’t long before she reached the center of the Consciousness Space.

However, the form of her opponent’s soul, which she had been expecting, was nowhere to be seen.

The space was utterly empty, save for a faint, crimson light that permeated everything.

’Bloodlight?’

As the thought occurred to her, she sensed something and snapped her head up to look.

The next moment, she froze in place, feeling as if she had been plunged into a bottomless Cold Pool. A bone-chilling cold spread through her entire being.

Because what met her eyes was a pair of colossal, blood-red pupils.

The pupils resembled two blood moons radiating a sinister light, coldly looking down on her.

Beneath them, a massive body snaked and twisted, half-hidden within the Chaos. The scales that occasionally came into view were each the size of a house, glinting with a glacial light.

Its serpentine form flickered in and out of sight within the chaotic space, like a chain of destruction that could shatter the world at any moment.

Just by looking, Huang Lin felt a tremor deep in her soul, the same way a mouse feels when it meets a cat.

’How could I possibly possess him now? It doesn’t take a genius to know I’m no match for this thing.’

The excitement in Huang Lin’s eyes vanished, replaced by a deep-seated fear.

She was crazy, but that didn’t mean she was a fool who didn’t fear death.

This thing before her was something she couldn’t possibly handle.

Without the slightest hesitation, she beat her wings and transformed into a streak of Flowing Light, desperately trying to escape this terrifying place.

However, when faced with a "delicious meal" that had served itself up,

how could Hu Qi possibly let it go?

The Three-Eyed Primordial Serpent, the manifestation of his soul, opened its massive maw, and a terrifying suction force erupted instantly.

The white bird that was Huang Lin was instantly dragged by an invisible force and sucked directly into the serpent’s mouth.

The serpent’s mouth slowly closed, a faint white flame escaping from the corners.

The space returned to tranquility once more.

...

「In the outside world.」

The moment Hu Qi devoured Huang Lin’s consciousness, her physical body exploded and disintegrated.

"Hm? Did she succeed, or..."

Li Xinghai’s expression flickered as he witnessed this scene.

If Huang Lin’s possession had succeeded, he might have had a sliver of a chance to survive.

However, when he met Hu Qi’s familiar, indifferent gaze,

his heart sank. He knew Huang Lin was dead.

In such a short time, three war zone leaders had fallen one after another.

He couldn’t escape, nor could he win. It seemed his only option was to wait for death.

However, the scene he imagined—being slapped to death—did not occur.

Instead, a streak of white light entered his head.

"Submit to me, and I will spare your life!"

Hu Qi looked down at Li Xinghai, who was no bigger than a loach from his perspective.

His voice was calm, yet it boomed like thunder.

The reason he didn’t kill Li Xinghai was simple: Hu Qi needed a Tier Five Evolver to work for him.

As for Lu Keduo, Wind Scale, and Yu Mo, their malice toward him ran too deep. Keeping them alive would only be a future liability, so it was better to deal with them personally.

Li Xinghai, on the other hand, was of relatively average strength and bore the least malice toward him, so he could be spared.

Of course, there was another, more important reason: he didn’t find the guy to be an eyesore.

"I am willing to serve you!"

Li Xinghai opened his eyes, which were filled with the wild joy of having survived a catastrophe.

He never expected things to take such an unexpected turn.

It was just that his once-majestic Flood Dragon form now had a bowing and scraping posture, making him look rather comical and bizarre.

"Very good. I have a task for you now."

Hu Qi said.

"Please give me your orders, my lord!"

Li Xinghai nodded.

"Humanity’s settlements are too scattered, making it difficult to concentrate our power.

I want you to reorganize the four major war zones, integrate all the factions, and establish a central war zone for unified command and management."

Hu Qi stated.

"This... My lord, perhaps we should consider this matter more carefully..."

Li Xinghai’s heart skipped a beat.

Absorbing and reorganizing the other war zones was a thought every leader had entertained, but none had ever managed to achieve it.

Besides the fact that the four major war zones refused to submit to one another, there was an even more critical reason.

In this world, aside from Evolvers, there were also Tier Five Desolate Gods.

If the human settlements were to be consolidated and then attacked by a terrifying Desolate God, humanity could very well face annihilation.

Remaining scattered was the safest strategy.

It prevented humanity from being wiped out all at once.

"It’s fine. If we encounter a Desolate God, I will personally deal with it!"

Hu Qi’s tone was nonchalant.

"Yes!"

Li Xinghai’s expression shifted slightly, and he said no more.

’With this being’s terrifying power, there’s probably no one left in this realm who can oppose him.’

...

「Three years passed in a flash.」

During this time, at Hu Qi’s instruction, the news of his victory over the three war zone leaders was spread far and wide.

This immediately sent countless survivors and Evolvers into a panic.

The war zone leaders, even the weakest among them, were Tier Five Human War Gods.

The very fact that they were called Human War Gods was proof enough of their power.

But now, they were all dead.

Without the Human War Gods, what would they do if a Desolate God attacked?

The people could only curse him silently in their hearts.

They felt that Hu Qi’s actions were extinguishing humanity’s hope.

However, when the news spread that Hu Qi had successively slain several Desolate Gods and intended to establish a Central Main City,

everything was turned completely upside down.

The vicious curses of the past seemed to be swept away by a sudden gale, vanishing without a trace.

In their place came a tidal wave of praise.
