New Chapter: Gods Awaken

In the dead of night, in an era where the extraordinary had long since been extinguished, a mythical battle took place here. It was earth-shattering at first, but ended abruptly.

Wang Xuan stood in the mountains, his blood energy transforming into crimson clouds that illuminated the void. He had grabbed the primordial spirit, which was weakened and on the verge of death by the burning of the earth Immortal Blood.

It was late at night, and only a very few people saw this scene through the detector. They were all quite shocked. In the era of extinction, when myths had collapsed, they could still see such a scene!

"As expected of the King Earth Immortal, his flying sword, carrying Cosmic Flowing Fire, swept across the sky, Broken Mountain, yet he caught it all and captured that person alive!" someone from the relevant department exclaimed.

Wang Xuan remained silent, gripping the man tightly. The Immortal Blood was still flowing, and with a sizzling sound, it scorched the primordial spirit as if it were being exposed to the blazing sun.

With a whoosh, the Mechanical Xiao arrived, piloting a silver-white spaceship to a stop not far away. Stepping out of the hatch, it asked, "Where did this Sword Cultivator come from? In this era, are there any other people who can cultivate?"

Earlier, Wang Xuan also had doubts. After the arrival of the "cold winter night", the gods entered twilight, the Transcendent Immortals were sinking, and even he was troubled. How could anyone dare to urge the flying sword like this and squander the Supernatural Power?

But he soon guessed that it was related to a major event in deep space. Some time ago, someone used two prohibited items to penetrate the Great Universe.

Of course, the most important factor was the role played by the prohibited item that did not belong to this universe. It was actively guided by another universe to complete the feat of traversing the "other world".

Although that moment was brief, everyone near the Immortal Land and the Land of Life Sciences felt it; Super Material poured out like a river bursting its banks.

"In deep space, some people have benefited greatly and have experienced a brief 'resurrection'."

Wang Xuan believes this recovery cannot last and can be seen as a final burst of energy before death, with some strong individuals "coming back to life," but it is unknown how many days it can last.

Is this based on the principle that if it's not used before it expires, it's useless, so we should make the most of this time to use our Supernatural Power?

Sizzle!

The blood energy emanating from Wang Xuan's hand caused the primordial spirit to rapidly dim, blur, and weaken to its lowest point, on the verge of being completely burned away. At this moment, it posed no threat whatsoever.

"Let me see your origins and the Roots of those behind you." He gazed into the realm of his spirit, searching for the past of this faint shadow.

Then he saw the boundless starry sea, the vast deep space, and the Great Universe was pierced through. This person was indeed from there, nourished by Super Material and inexplicable rules, and "resurrected" that very day.

At the same time, Wang Xuan saw familiar faces, including Guang Shen, Lei Tuo, and Yu Hong. Although they only flashed by, he could still recognize them.

Who are those people? The Supreme Deity within the Great Barrier!

In the past, Wang Xuan slaughtered gods in the Immortal Land. These were the very people he killed. Of course, at that time, he killed the incarnations of the gods on earth, not their true forms.

But the feud has already been formed, and now they've sent people to test us, to seek revenge?

"If you had a few guts, would you dare to come and kill me?!" Wang Xuan looked up at the sky.

He frowned, feeling that something was amiss. There should be more to this than just these things involved. Even if the gods were to be resurrected, they wouldn't cross the galaxy to target him like this.

They should know very well that he is very special. After his Supernatural Finale, he was still able to retain his Earth Immortal Dao Fruit. How many days can the gods have a brief resurgence this time? Aren't they afraid that they will be reduced to their original forms at any time and be violently eliminated by him?

"Normally, even if Guang Shen, Yu Hong, Yuan Lei and others hate me to the bone, they wouldn't dare to make a move. They've endured so many years to finally recover. There's no need for them to rush to kill me right away. In fact, some of them should have lost their ambitions and gone into complete seclusion."

Wang Xuan felt that this matter was not so simple. The gods he saw in this primordial spirit might be images deliberately left for him by someone.

"Are you testing me, to see if I dare to pursue you to the Immortal Land, to uncover the truth, and to hunt down the gods?"

If it's one of those people, that's fine, but if it's not, isn't this trying to drive him to fight the gods?

Wang Xuan searched the soul, but the primordial spirit went out in an instant, like a flickering candle flame in the night wind, its spiritual domain completely destroyed.

It appears that he was burned by the blood of an earth immortal, but in reality, it was also because his primordial spirit had a self-destruction restriction, causing him to vanish into thin air.

"I will keep the spaceship on high alert soon, ready to fight the gods at any time," the Mechanical Xiao said, fearing that the gods from beyond the realm might suddenly descend.

"It's not that serious." Wang Xuan shook his head; those people wouldn't go crazy.

After pondering for a moment, he thought the incident involving the supreme treasure was somewhat serious. Since some powerful beings had been revived thanks to another Great Universe, how much Super Material did the supreme treasure Life Pool at the scene that day actually receive?

Upon closer examination, this becomes somewhat terrifying. It was a firsthand witness, and during the journey through the Great Universe, it was overwhelmed by Supernatural Power akin to a burst dam.

Who got it? The owner is dangerous; is this person driving all of this?

Wang Xuan picked up the cracked flying sword, took a few steps, and left Great Black Mountain. As if Shrink Ground into Inches, he soon returned to Yuncheng and continued... to sleep.

However, those who received the news couldn't sleep that night, and then various messages were transmitted to distant places, spreading to New Star and beyond.

Accompanied by footage of Wang Xuan flicking his finger to deflect the crimson flying sword, and photos of him finally grabbing the attacker's primordial spirit, the earth Immortal Blood was brilliant and awe-inspiring under the night sky, making his figure appear as if a celestial being had returned to his demonic form.

For Wang Xuan, life went on without much impact, at least on the surface. He chatted on the phone with Zhao Qinghan for hours, calm and composed.

As for the outside world, it was bombarded with all sorts of news early in the morning, with various news items appearing on the New Star about the resurgence of earth immortals and the battle of myths.

They're all sensationalist headlines, practically a reappearance of the old UC Shock Department, grabbing attention first and foremost.

Of course, some news media and platforms did have some substance, specifically finding a former Celestial Immortal-level expert surnamed Li, who still possesses some Supernatural Power, to write a commentary.

The gist is that King Earth Immortal is very strong, still the ceiling of the Supernatural World, and he can actually burn his primordial spirit with blood, which is terrifying in this day and age!

However, he also subtly hinted at why Wang Xuan hadn't used his primordial spirit. Was ending the battle early out of disdain or was there another reason?

This commentary has indeed caused a stir, with various parties participating in the discussion and exploring how much true combat power superhumans still possess in this era.

"From what I understand, nine out of ten Transcendent Immortals have become ordinary people. Even a powerful figure like Li Tianxian can only barely maintain the first or second level of the extraordinary realm now. Wang Xuan's physical body is probably still very strong, but his primordial spirit has degenerated severely. Otherwise, he would have already used his extraordinary treasure."

"That's right, I also hold this view. Just like yesterday, when he was bombarded by the warship, if his primordial spirit had been unharmed, he could have easily left his body to chase after it, and wouldn't have allowed the warship to self-destruct. These are all facts. With the great changes of the times, there are probably no more true Earth Immortals in the world!"

The discussions among various parties made Qing Mu and Old Chen frown, sensing that something was amiss. They felt that someone was meticulously examining Wang Xuan's weakened state, seemingly trying to stir up trouble.

They sent people to investigate who was guiding this discussion, determined to expose Wang Xuan's background. They discovered that the media outlets were a complex mix, controlled by large conglomerates with cross-shareholdings, and even involved New Star Transcendent Immortals conglomerate.

"Reports indicate that extraordinary substances have recently been spilled from the Immortal Land and the Land of Scientific Life, and the gods are suspected of resurrecting. King Earth Immortal is in danger; he has killed many gods there!"

Some people, not wanting to miss out on the drama, revealed various "truths," believing that yesterday's terrorist attack and the flying sword that seemed to come from outer space were just the first wave, and that there would be even bigger events to come.

In particular, Wang Xuan is most likely not a true immortal anymore, and something bad might happen to him later.

Huang Ming, Kong Yun, Zhou Qinghuang, and many others immediately asked Wang Xuan privately if there would be any problems. The current situation was unfavorable, and they were worried about him.

Whether considering it from the perspective of friendship or from a higher standpoint, this group of people did not want Wang Xuan's banner to fall.

The impact of this event is multifaceted, attracting attention from both extraordinary individuals and ordinary people.

Some people even subtly hinted to Zhao Qinghan through acquaintances that she should not marry Wang Xuan, a fallen superhuman from the Old Earth. He was no longer an earth immortal, and there was new and reliable news that something bad was about to happen to him!

More than one person relayed messages, advising Zhao Qinghan to return to New Star and not to stay in the Old Earth with that Wang Xuan, as this fake earth immortal was being targeted.

Then, Zhao Qinghan angrily rebuked those who were spreading the message, telling them to leave. Who she was with was none of their business. Whether Wang Xuan was an immortal or a commoner, she would stay in the Old Earth and hold her wedding soon.

"Is someone really going to come after you? Let's take some wedding photos first." Zhao Qinghan arrived that day and pulled Wang Xuan to take pictures.

"Are you worried something might happen to me and want to take wedding photos first? There's no need for that." Wang Xuan looked at her. If there was a real possibility of something happening, he didn't want to take photos beforehand.

"Go ahead, take some photos while there's still snow, and then take another set when spring arrives and the flowers bloom," Zhao Qinghan said with a smile, insisting on going.

"Okay, I promise nothing will happen." Wang Xuan nodded with a smile and went to take the photos that very day.

The next day, Zhao Qinghan posted a picture with the caption, "Watching the snow fall in winter, a set of wedding photos," which she posted in a very generous and direct manner.

"Zhao Qinghan can't see the current situation clearly. She's really fallen for him. There are indications that she's actually fallen for that 'neighbor Old Wang's amidst the undercurrents. Under these circumstances, she even took the initiative to take wedding photos with him. She'll have her day."

"A person's fate is predetermined. It's a pity that Goddess Zhao may become a widow in the near future. These are all her own choices!"

New Star, some people said very harsh things to her, and some unmarried men who had always had feelings for her were furious.

Two days later, someone commissioned the New Star Consortium and some fallen immortals to deliver a message to Wang Xuan of the Old Earth, requesting to purchase an item.

The other party did not reveal their identity, but offered to help Wang Xuan resolve the troubles in deep space and block the restless gods without asking for anything in return.

"Oh, who is it, and what does it want?" Wang Xuan asked.

"The Book of Years," the messenger informed them.

Wang Xuan was taken aback. This thing was indeed on him, but he had thrown it into the world behind the land of destiny because that book was a chatterbox and not a kind person. He had Cold Palace back then.

"The 'Old Testament' left behind by the Vanished, Supernatural Civilization —what would they want with such a thing?" He frowned.

He immediately told Old Wang about this and asked him to look through some "miscellaneous books" to see what use the Old Testament still was today.

Wang Zesheng had indeed seen some ancient books, and that book is still in the archives of the Relevant Department. Not long after, Wang Xuan asked someone to send him a scanned copy.

"In such a time of scarcity, the Old Testament has little effect, but if there is enough Super Material, it can be used to refine treasures, and the effect is quite good."

He realized that this was most likely related to the treasure, the Life Pool, and that someone wanted to quickly and completely take control of it.

"The Book of Years is not with me." That day, Wang Xuan told New Star that there was no need to waste his energy.

"The other party believes the book is on King Earth Immortal and is willing to trade with you, wanting that book," said the messenger from New Star.

"I said I don't have it, and that's it. Besides, even if I did, can't I just not sell it?" Wang Xuan said coldly.

The messenger, nervous, quickly explained, "King Earth Immortal, please don't be angry. We were just following a client's instructions and had no intention of offending anyone."

However, not long after, another person conveyed a message to Wang Xuan, saying that a client in deep space insisted on the Book of Years and hoped that Wang Xuan could be accommodating and grant their request.

In the following days, several supernatural events occurred in Yuncheng, such as temples emitting light, wild foxes speaking human language, and people appearing in Wang Xuan's dreams to his neighbors, all conveying messages that they wanted to trade the Book of Years with Wang Xuan.

"The other party wants that book, and at the same time, this is also a test to confirm that you can no longer use your primordial spirit. They may be about to make some moves!" Chen Yongjie and Liu Huaian both looked solemn. When they arrived in Yuncheng, Qing Mu mobilized warships, and more than one.

"It's been quiet for a long time. Slaying gods and killing earth immortals in the Real World are things from a long time ago. Are some people challenging my psychological bottom line? Demanding the Book of Years might be true, they do have a need, but it's also possible that they're purely targeting me." Wang Xuan said, guessing that perhaps an old enemy had resurfaced.
