I was born in the Kindling Flame Realm.
"A thousand years ago, the Dragon God moved my origin to this Barbaric Realm as an anchor point to break the deadlock."
"It was also me... who isolated the invasion of the outer gods and Suppression the cultivation levels of everyone else."
"And now, the [Divine Fetus] you have swallowed is my offspring."
"It is not merely the continuation of my life, but also your only ladder to the throne of God."
"God's throne?"
Guo Shuai was stunned. "You mean... make me a god?"
"That's right."
"The Barbaric Realm cannot awaken its own divine status; it can only rely on faith."
"As long as you have enough believers, you can draw upon the power of their faith and grow stronger."
"And the Divine Fetus... is the ultimate device that carries this faith."
"It was originally a cruel test."
"But you were willing to sacrifice yourself for your comrades..."
"You have successfully gained its [love] approval."
"Now, it has become one with you."
Hearing what the World Tree said, Guo Shuai clenched his left fist.
He closed his eyes, and that scene flashed through his mind.
Zhang Lingqi severed Circle's head!
To be honest, you really don't want revenge?
That's impossible!
He dreamed of tearing that deathly bastard to pieces!
As if sensing the obsession in his heart, the World Tree sighed.
"Child, you have a long road ahead of you."
"But now, the Barbaric Realm are facing an unprecedented crisis."
"Those Evil God of the Abyss are rising again, and what's even more terrifying is..."
"The [God of Time and Death] who is about to appear in the world."
"She will cross the River of Time and go to the past..."
"At that juncture, before everything has settled, kill our savior, thereby altering the cause and effect of everything!"
"The God of Time and Death... the Savior..."
Guo Shuai murmured the word softly.
In this world filled with despair, there are those who can be called saviors.
Only one thought could come to mind.
No need to say more...
Dragon God!
"Is the boss in danger?!"
Guo Shuai's expression changed.
He absolutely cannot lose anyone else...
Especially that benefactor who saved him countless times!
I promise you!
Guo Shuai answered resolutely in his heart, "Tell me, what should I do next?"
"Open your heart and accept my power..."
The World Tree's voice grew grander. "Over the past millennium, I have gathered hundreds of thousands of followers in the Twilight Forest."
"Whether it's a proud elf, a frail goblin, or those bewildered Devil Beast..."
"They are all my followers."
"Now, I transfer this entire faith to you."
"Good."
Guo Shuai raised his head and glanced at the one-way glass in front of him.
He knew perfectly well that on the other side of the glass, military personnel were watching him.
He can't be here, lest accepting the faith cause him to go berserk.
"Let's begin formally after I get out."
Guo Shuai spoke to the World Tree in his heart, then walked to the glass door.
"Open the door and let me out. I'm fine now."
The military doctors outside the door looked at each other, their faces filled with disbelief.
"This... this is all done?"
Even if a mental illness can heal itself, it couldn't possibly be this fast, could it?
"It's like he's a completely different person!"
"Chief Engineer Shen, ignore him. What if he's faking it? He might go berserk if we let him out!"
Several military doctors tried their best to dissuade him.
But Shen Lian only gazed at Guo Shuai's eyes as they regained focus.
"Open the door."
Shen Lian made a decision.
The medics had no choice but to press the open button.
"Laugh!"
The glass door slid open.
Guo Shuai dragged his right arm, which had turned into a withered tree, as he walked out.
He walked up to Shen Lian and bowed slightly. "Thank you."
Then, he looked up and said, "I have something important to do and need to go out."
Shen Lian looked at him, but made no attempt to stop him.
"Go."
"By the way, there's a portal on the third line of defense in the southeast corner of the fortress that's still open."
"The surrounding garrison has been evacuated."
Guo Shuai paused for a moment, then glanced at Shen Lian.
"Understood."
He nodded vigorously and quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.
"Chief Engineer Shen! If we just let him go like this, won't it cause a huge mess..."
The military doctors were extremely anxious.
"Fine."
Sometimes, letting things take their natural course leads to better results.
Shen Lian ignored Guo Shuai's retreating figure and prepared to continue urging for reinforcements.
Just then, a communications engineer ran over from the front.
"Manager Shen! Great news! Incredible good news!"
"Why are you in such a panic?" Shen Lian frowned.
The engineer was so excited he could barely speak, and he shoved the tablet right in front of Shen Lian.
"You... you should check the security camera footage outside yourself!"
Shen Lian glanced down at the screen, her eyes flickering slightly...
Let's rewind a few minutes.
On the coastline of Deep Pool Fortress, the giant crocodile elbowed the Machine God.
Instead of finishing off the pile of scrap metal, they directly stepped onto the shore, riding the giant waves.
He attempted to use the high-energy radiation from his body to annihilate all the humans inside the fortress!
"Oh no!"
Liu Ruyan, who was flying through the air on her sword, saw this scene.
"We can't let it get close to the core area!"
Liu Ruyan's eyes turned red with anxiety. In order to save time by taking a detour, she even went so far as to unleash her Sword Qi.
They carved a tunnel through the mountain blocking their path and charged towards the RV campsite!
"Where's Wang Meng?! Call Wang Meng out here!"
As soon as Liu Ruyan landed, she shouted at San Duo, who was in charge of guarding the RV position.
San Duo said with a completely innocent look, "Report, I don't know what happened just now."
"Something suddenly blasted a hole right through that little hill over there!"
"Wang Meng was down below repairing the fortifications when a large rock flew over and hit him squarely on the back of the head."
"He's passed out now; the army doctor just carried him away."
As he spoke, San Duo pointed to the blood pit on the ground where a human-shaped figure with its buttocks sticking out was.
"I'm not lying. Look, it's still warm."
"..."
Liu Ruyan froze.
She stared at the mountain peak that had been carved through, then at the pit in the ground, her mind buzzing.
Could it be because of that mountain I just carved out to save time?
What a coincidence!
That's it, I personally headshot the Mechanic!
Just as Liu Ruyan was so embarrassed that she dug her toes into the ground.
Just as they were about to throw caution to the wind and rush into the medical tent to slap Wang Meng awake and send him to the repair Machine God, they decided to go all out.
"Squeak!"
The door of the RV was suddenly pushed open from the inside.
A tomboy walked out with an air of utter disdain.
It was none other than Jiang Li, the Fool.
Jiang Li sniffed as soon as he stepped out of the car.
She sniffed the air twice, her little face scrunched up.
Something's not right...
"Why does this air smell like him..."
Jiang Li stroked his chin, revealing a mature yet lewd expression, and muttered to himself.
"Only..."
"Why does this smell seem to be coming from the [back door]?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, this won't do! My dad, that eternal bachelor, has finally found love."
"So they actually took the back door instead of the proper route? Isn't that a complete waste of resources?!"
I'll have to give him a good talking-to later!
Liu Ruyan, who was still in a daze, stiffened upon hearing these words.
Most people wouldn't understand, but as someone who was once tricked into going to the proctology hospital by Jiangnan in Soul Return Town, I can attest to that.
Having experienced the darkest moment of her life, Liu Ruyan blushed instantly!
"You... you brat, what nonsense are you spouting! Stop right there!"
Overwhelmed by shame and indignation, Liu Ruyan didn't even consider the girl's identity.
I just thought he was a new recruit who talked nonsense.
She roared and was about to fly over on her sword to sew Jiang Li's mouth shut!
"Clang!"
She habitually formed a sword incantation and pushed off with both feet!
Then...
Smack!
The imagined scene of riding the wind on a sword did not materialize.
Liu Ruyan just lunged straight out like that.
He fell flat on his face, burying it directly in the mud.
"What happened?!"
Liu Ruyan was utterly horrified.
She had just tried to activate the sword intent within her body, only to find that her body was completely empty.
She seemed like an ordinary person!
The Fool's identity is a top military secret.
Just then, several muffled thuds were heard.
The elite guards responsible for escorting Jiang Li had just rolled out of the RV.
That's right, it's the real deal, they really came out.
Several people fell together like a human pyramid, ending up with bruises and swelling on their faces.
Jiang Li's domain also affected the Spatial Portal inside the RV.
This caused spatial disorder when they emerged.
It's like being trapped in a washing machine and forced to spin dry for ten minutes.
Jiang Li walked straight across the defense line and headed towards the giant crocodile.
The front lines have become a living hell.
Lin Bayi waved the military flag, but the soldiers continued to retreat.
Xu Wange knelt in the trench, clinging to life even with the [God of War]'s invincibility buff.
But the high-energy radiation emanating from the crocodile was still damaging her cells.
She was vomiting Black Blood, her face deathly pale.
If it weren't for this invincibility buff, these thousands of soldiers on the front lines would have long since turned to ashes under the radiation.
"I can't take it anymore... the radiation concentration is too high..."
Xu Wange gripped the Proud Dragon Maces, her vision beginning to blur.
And just then...
A sea breeze blew by.
Xu Wange suddenly froze, and she was shocked to discover...
That nauseating, stinging sensation inside my body...
It disappeared!
She looked up and saw a scene she would never forget.
A young girl is walking towards the center of the battlefield.
With each step she took forward, the radiation seemed to dissipate instantly.
The charred weeds miraculously came back to life at her feet, blooming with flowers at every step!
"Who is she..."
Xu Wange stared blankly at that retreating figure.
Just as Jiang Li passed by Xu Wange...
Clang!
Xu Wange her grip, and the [Proud Dragon Maces] crashed to the ground!
Not only her Supernatural Ability, but even her enhanced, extraordinary physical strength.
All of that was completely stripped away at this moment, and she became an ordinary woman again!
Similarly.
The raging crocodile also stopped its roaring.
Because it discovered that its own radiating particles...
It's gone!
The giant crocodile lowered its head and looked at the human girl who was walking towards its feet.
"Roar!"
You mere ant, how dare you stop me!
The Crocodile God's vertical pupils were filled with contempt as it raised its paw and stomped down!
Jiang Li did not dodge.
She tilted her head back and coldly watched the enormous, sky-covering foot descend.
Amidst the stunned gazes of the crowd.
When the giant foot was about ten meters above Jiang Li's head, it suddenly began to retract!
The enormous foot that blotted out the sky turned into a large foot.
When it landed at five meters, it became a mid-footed descent.
When it fell to one meter, it turned into tiny feet.
And when that foot finally landed on the muddy ground in front of Jiang Li...
It has turned into a tiny foot that is less than ten centimeters long and even looks a bit cute!
The giant crocodile was reduced to its most primitive form!
A Swamp Puppy fell to the ground.
Even the giant axe in its hand shrunk to its normal size.
The little crocodile leaned against the sandbag, looking up at Jiang Li in front of it.
Those tiny, bean-sized eyes were filled with a clear sense of foolishness and doubt about life.
What happened?
Where is my rage?!
Where is my 100-meter-long Dharma body?!
What followed was my confusion?!
How did I suddenly revert to my weakest form before I mutated?!
And it will never know the answer in its lifetime.
Because Jiang Li had already squatted down.
They captured this BOSS who had countless lives on his hands.
"Pfft!"
With a single twist, she snapped his neck on the spot.
"A lizard is a lizard; even if it wears a skin, it can never become a true dragon."
Jiang Li raised his head, his gaze fixed on the teleportation portal in front of him, and walked straight in.
Xu Wange slumped in the trench, staring blankly at everything.
It's over?
A disaster, and it's over just like that?!
Everything happened too fast.
This kind of completely unreasonable, instant-kill method...
It's exactly like that man's fighting style.
Deep within the Time Rift.
In a primeval forest where the sky is obscured by towering ancient trees.
Jiangnan gently stroked the lush green tree in front of her.
This is the legendary, top-grade material from the Barbaric Realm: [Echo Jianmu].
But in Jiangnan's eyes, there was no joy in finding the treasure.
The search has been ongoing for the past day and night.
He searched almost the entire perimeter of the crevice, but still found no one special.
Where exactly is the "she" that Naiya mentioned as her trump card before she died hidden?
The situation in Jiangnan remains unknown.
This feeling of the enemy being in the dark while he was in the light stirred a hidden rage within him.
"Click... click..."
Not far away, Dusk was felling the surrounding Jianmu.
Just then, he suddenly stopped moving.
He didn't look at Jiangnan, but instead turned his gaze to the edge of the forest.
A gentle breeze swept by, swirling up a flurry of fallen leaves.
One after another, figures emerged from the woods.
Long, flowing hair, and pointed ears.
A creature wearing a flower wreath on its head.
Those are Elf Clan.
Surrounded by the elves, the leading woman walked into the open space.
She was riding a pure white unicorn.
Her figure was voluptuous, even ripe.
He held a staff in his hand.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
The dozens of fully armed elven guards accompanying them immediately dispersed.
Holding a longbow, he surrounded Jiangnan and the Dusk.
An elven guard captain stepped forward, pointing his short sword at Jiangnan and reprimanding him.
"You lowly humans! Her Majesty the Elven Queen has arrived! Why haven't you all knelt down and paid your respects yet!"
"Get out of here right now!"
"This forest is Elf Clan, we've taken it!"
