Immunity Period, About to Become a Shura Field

Earth Players were signing up enthusiastically.

In the World of Gods, another night had passed.

The next morning.

Ye Yu and the others had just gathered in the hall.

Wodema, the third genius who had kept a low profile in recent days, suddenly stepped forward. In front of the Divine Envoy, he issued a Divine War against Zhang Dongyang, one of the lowest-ranked new gods.

"Lord Divine Envoy, when I was seven years old, Zhang Dongyang once glared at me!"

"Now, whenever I think of it, my heart burns with indignation. My thoughts are blocked—it might hinder my Divine Spark's advancement!"

"So I request a Divine War against Zhang Dongyang. I beg your approval!"

Wodema strode out from the crowd, one hand on his chest, bowing slightly as he saluted the Divine Envoy.

The moment he spoke, the hall erupted in uproar.

"My god, did I hear that right? Wodema wants a Divine War with Zhang Dongyang?"

"What's going on? I never heard of any bad blood between Zhang Dongyang and Wodema?"

"An excuse—what a flimsy excuse. 'He glared at me'? Can he be any more ridiculous?"

"Shh! Do you want to die? Mocking Wodema?"

"Ah, I knew it. Once Ma Baoguo's Divine War against Ye Yu was allowed, things would spiral out of control. And now I'm proven right!"

Everyone murmured, faces tense with unease.

Using an old grudge as an excuse to force a Divine War—this was already the second example.

Now it seemed the so-called one-month grace period had turned into a Shura field for these new gods!

No one knew if they'd suddenly be challenged by another new god.

Especially the few lowest-ranked new gods—their faces were ashen with terror!

Today, Zhang Dongyang was the unlucky one. Who's to say they weren't next?

Zhang Dongyang's face was blank.

He felt as if his soul had completely left his body.

His mind was a void!

Who am I?

Where am I?

What am I doing?

Poor Zhang Dongyang nearly broke down on the spot.

Are you kidding? In both Divine Domain size and Believer race, he was far inferior to Wodema, the third genius!

If they fought a Divine War, he'd be the one to die.

Did everyone think they were Ye Yu?

Divine Envoy Shabi glanced at Wodema, a flicker of satisfaction in his eyes.

This Wodema hadn't let him down.

A talent like this was worth cultivating!

Shabi cleared his throat.

"Ahem. For a deity, blocked thoughts are nothing to ignore!"

"Since Wodema has a reasonable justification, then..."

Shabi paused mid-sentence.

The new gods' hearts all clenched.

Oh god, was there really going to be a second Divine War?

It had only been a few days since Awakening Day, and two Divine Wars were already happening. Was this really okay?

"Ahem. This Envoy declares Wodema's Divine War application valid—approved!"

"The Divine War begins in one hour!"

"Zhang Dongyang, Wodema, both of you prepare!"

As Divine Envoy Shabi's words fell, Wodema clenched his fist secretly.

But he didn't look at Zhang Dongyang. Instead, he shot a veiled glance at Ye Yu, a chill in his eyes.

Sorry, Ye Yu.

Your Divine Spark is destined to be mine.

Even before Ma Baoguo and Ye Yu started their Divine War, Wodema had already marked Ye Yu as his Hunt target!

Back then, he'd picked Ye Yu simply because Ye Yu was weak.

But now, he was doing it to secure further patronage from Divine Envoy Shabia.

With a divine envoy backing him, his path ahead would undoubtedly be much smoother.

"Zhang Dongyang, don't worry."

"This so-called divine duel is nothing more than a sparring match."

"I trust Waldma will know his limits!"

"Isn't that right, Waldma?"

Divine Envoy Shabia, seeing Zhang Dongyang's utterly hopeless expression, offered a few insincere words of comfort with a fake smile.

"Yes, Divine Envoy!"

Waldma first acknowledged Shabia, then stepped forward and patted Zhang Dongyang on the shoulder.

"Zhang Dongyang, though we had some minor grudges as kids."

"But rest assured, I'm only challenging you to this divine duel to clear my mind!"

"I won't go hard on you in the duel!"

"Of course... if something unexpected happens, your parents, and, uh, your fiancée—I'll take care of them all for you."

Hearing this, Zhang Dongyang, already on the verge of breaking down, could no longer hold back and burst into loud sobs.

The cries were pitiful, heart-wrenching, enough to make anyone who heard them tear up.

Many new gods couldn't bear to watch and turned their heads away from Zhang Dongyang.

Heaven have mercy—such a good-natured man was being pushed to the brink of despair.

For a moment, many new gods felt a flicker of resentment toward Waldma and Shabia.

Was this necessary?

Why pick on someone like Zhang Dongyang, a simple, honest trash god?

But then again, in the world of gods, weakness is the original sin!

Even if the new gods felt some sympathy for Zhang Dongyang.

None of them stepped forward to speak a word of justice for him.

Even Xiao Gui acted as if it had nothing to do with him, aloof and detached!

Ye Yu frowned.

But he too remained silent.

Though Ye Yu could tell at a glance that Zhang Dongyang was suffering an undeserved calamity.

Still, for a demigod like Zhang Dongyang, unless he spent his whole life holed up in Desolate Wood Divine City as a powerless minor official.

Otherwise, the cruel world of gods would eventually teach him a harsh lesson.

Ye Yu was no saint, nor was he some naive goody-two-shoes.

Helping Zhang Dongyang would bring him no benefit.

His earlier fight with Ma Baoguo had involved a bit of luck.

If it hadn't been for the Inedible Peach turning into a big-mouthed mole and bamboozling Ma Baoguo.

Even if Ye Yu had ultimately won that fight, the cost would have been far from the near-zero losses he suffered now.

So, until the Immortal Path version update brought a flood of players into the game, Ye Yu would not act lightly.

Even though he knew that if Waldma devoured Zhang Dongyang's divine spark, his power would skyrocket!

This wasn't because Ye Yu was cold-blooded or heartless!

It was simply the law of survival in the world of gods.

Anyone who tried to play the saint or the goody-two-shoes here.

Would meet only one fate!

Death without a burial place!

"All bystanders, step back!"

"Zhang Dongyang, Waldma, ascend the divine duel platform!"

Divine Envoy Shabia, seemingly afraid of any complications, directly and decisively ordered Zhang Dongyang and Waldma onto the platform.

The surrounding new gods, hearing this, shook their heads and all stepped back.

Waldma strode forward and mounted the divine duel platform.

Though Zhang Dongyang was reluctant, he had no choice—he couldn't refuse such a divine duel!

If he truly refused to fight, his fate would be far worse than death and divine destruction!

It would even bring disaster upon his parents and family.

So, Zhang Dongyang dared not refuse.

He could only steel himself and climb onto the divine duel platform.
