Chapter 469: Chapter 366: God of the Human World [4]

Some went even further, bestowing upon Hu Qi the revered title of "God of the Human World."

Human hearts have always been this complex and fickle.

One moment, they slandered him without restraint; the next, they lavished him with praise.

...

The Pan Mountain Gathering Place.

It was originally nestled in a mountain basin, surrounded on all four sides.

But now, the towering mountains surrounding it had been razed to the ground. In their place stood a sprawling complex of buildings and factories that stretched as far as the eye could see.

The entire area had grown exponentially, its size nearly a hundred times what it once was.

From a distance, this new urban district resembled a ferocious beast lying dormant upon the earth, exuding a shockingly majestic aura.

The Pan Mountain Gathering Place had now become the Central Main City.

However, people preferred to call it the City of Dawn.

A name that symbolized humanity’s last glimmer of hope.

In the core of the City of Dawn, a skyscraper shot up from the ground, piercing the clouds with an air of dominance.

Across the entire City of Dawn, only the newly restored, thousand-meter-tall Sun God Statue in the city center surpassed it in height.

At this moment, all was silent, save for the whisper of the wind.

Hu Qi stood quietly on the observation deck at the top of the tower, his posture as straight and tall as a pine.

He was dressed in white robes, the corners of which fluttered in the wind, adding to his otherworldly aura.

Hu Qi’s gaze drifted to the horizon.

The sun was setting, a blood-red disk slowly sinking below the horizon.

The sky was stained a fiery orange-red. The brilliant sunset clouds burned like a wildfire, casting their last, unreserved light upon the vast land.

As the sun sank lower, a thick darkness, like a great black curtain, slowly unfurled from the edge of the sky, gradually cloaking the entire world.

Beneath his feet, however, the City of Dawn presented a completely different scene.

The city’s lights had just begun to flicker on, and soon the entire City of Dawn was ablaze with light, resembling a brilliant river of stars.

Down on the streets, traffic flowed endlessly, and crowds of people moved like a steady stream.

Over the past three years, under the suppression of Hu Qi’s absolute power, any who dared to stand in his way, be they human or Desolate God, met the same end: utter annihilation.

This ensured the smooth relocation and merging of the four major war-zone cities and the establishment of the City of Dawn here.

Aside from a few remote, smaller gathering places, it could be said that eighty percent of the entire Desolate Star’s population now resided here.

This also made it much more convenient to spread the faith of the Sun God.

As a result, belief in the Sun God spread like wildfire, and the number of followers increased dramatically.

’At this rate,’ he thought, ’it might not be long before the Sun God Spirit Seed breaks through again to reach the Apostle Level Peak.’

However, this was only one of Hu Qi’s reasons for establishing the City of Dawn.

Thinking of this, a thought crossed his mind.

He summoned his panel.

His gaze skipped past the other useless information and landed on a specific entry.

————

[Genes: Human War God (Peak) | Unknown Talisman Integrity: 89.13%]

...

[Modification Points: 110,023 (7%)]

After the City of Dawn was established, a comprehensive registration and screening process for all Evolvers was rolled out.

The official explanation was that this was all for the sake of more efficient administration.

However, the true purpose was to more conveniently and effectively acquire the Runes contained within the Evolvers.

Unfortunately, even with all this, the Unknown Talisman’s integrity seemed to be bound by some invisible shackles, stubbornly stuck at the eighty-nine percent mark.

It wouldn’t budge an inch.

In addition to this, he had also sent people to search for traces of other Desolate Gods.

One after another, what were once forbidden zones for humanity were destroyed, and the slumbering Desolate Gods within were slain by Hu Qi.

As a result, traces of Tier Five Desolate Gods had all but vanished from the Desolate Star.

Humanity was finally free from the threat of the Wild Beasts.

Unfortunately, it now seemed that the Runes within most Evolvers and Wild Beasts heavily overlapped with those in the Unknown Talisman inside him.

The help they provided in completing it was dwindling.

Just then, a figure flashed into existence behind Hu Qi.

"My lord, two people are requesting an audience. They claim to be your former subordinates from the Rotten Leaf Gathering Place!"

The person reported, kneeling on one knee.

Hearing this, Hu Qi’s expression flickered.

A hint of surprise showed on his face.

"Oh? Take me to them."
