Chen Shouyi landed in the rural area outside the city, changing into a set of clothes.
The injuries on his body had completely healed, leaving no trace, but the heaviness and anxiety in his heart remained unchanged.
He sneezed, expelling blood residue from his lungs, took out a watch, checked the ti, and found it was already ten thirty. He quickly made his way towards the spatial passage.
The whole Zhonghai was solemn, with a large number of artillery guarding the rooftops on both sides, destined for a sleepless night.
Chen Shouyi passed through the passage, returning to the alternate world.
It was still evening here, and his family hadn't slept yet, though the relatives had already left, leaving only his cousin Jiang Yanyan, who had clearly been left behind by her parents.
"Brother!" Jiang Yanyan greeted timidly.
"Are you getting used to the alternate world?" Chen Shouyi forced a smile, patiently asking.
"Yes, quite used to it. Not long ago, during our military training, we went to the alternate world once. I even spoke on stage as the representative of the freshn," Jiang Yanyan said, her face flushing, feeling as if she was facing an elder rather than her cousin.
Nowadays, martial arts apprentices were almost widespread among young people, though becoming a martial artist without relying on external forces was still extrely rare.
"Quite good," Chen Shouyi responded.
"Better than you back then," Mrs. Chen laughed.
Jiang Yanyan's face reddened further upon hearing this. At the start of the sester, the vice principal had specially chatted with her, being very approachable, resulting in her becoming the representative of the freshn afterward.
When it ca to college entrance exam scores, many were better than her. Regarding martial arts cultivation, she was only a martial arts apprentice on the surface.
She wasn't foolish, initially puzzled, but quickly figured out the reason.
After chatting with her for a while, Chen Shouyi returned to his bedroom.
The bedroom was quite simple, with only a bed and a table, nothing more.
Chen Shouyi sat on the bed silently, in a daze.
Two little ones crawled out from under the blanket, becoming active again, using his body as a playground, scrambling to climb constantly.
Feeling sowhat annoyed, he pushed the two little ones aside.
After sitting for a while, he laid down on the bed, entered the Book of Knowledge Space, and chose a mory fragnt to enter, not caring at this mont whether it was discovered or not.
...
"Boom..."
In the distance, dark clouds gathered, lightning flashed and thunder roared, a figure flying at twice the speed of sound, skimming the ocean towards the Rising Sun Country.
The sea water stirred up a long streak, shooting like an arrow towards the distance.
Faith Value burned slowly, everything before his eyes slowing down, his gaze calm, as if a fla was burning in his eyes. The enormous pressure of these days crushed him like a Great Mountain, making him feel breathless.
Many tis, his heart was filled with confusion and struggle.
One side showed the collapse of human civilization, the predicted death, while the other clung to survival, preserving the fire of humanity for the greater good.
The greater the power, the greater the responsibility, a phrase that often seed like a joke. He had thought so before, but upon reaching such heights, it was no longer a joke but a tangible pressure.
Especially when all soldiers were prepared to valiantly face their deaths in the face of despairing war, fighting without retreat.
No one's life was more precious than another's.
The light of the nuclear blast lit up the entire night sky, illuminating his exceptionally calm face.
From the void, a solemn gaze looked over.
With a thought, he transford into a giant, simultaneously deploying a vacuum field and armored suit.
"Boom!"
A thick lightning bolt instantly struck the vacuum field, illuminating it with blinding light, the massive electron flow engulfing Chen Shouyi's body as he collided into the sea, creating a gigantic splash.
The next mont, the sea churned, a giant clad in armor shot out, continuing to stride across the surface. His heart was invigorated, finding that after the vacuum barrier, the lightning's energy was weakened substantially.
The armor added, leaving him unscathed, not even the slightest rigidity remained.
With a physique of 41.4, he perfectly withstood the opponent's attack.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
...
The Lord of Lightning seed sowhat surprised by this, lightning struck down in succession. Chen Shouyi didn't even pause his movents, his imnse power crushing the sea surface.
A series of gigantic bowl-shaped depressions ford, with countless ocean creatures reduced to pulp in his wake.
Half a minute later, he had already reached land.
The torrential rain poured down, the distant city lay in darkness, not a single light in sight.
"Barbarian God, co!" He stood firm, looking up and roaring at the dark clouds.
The mighty sound waves sent the heavy rain flying backward.
"Ignorant evil being, you are courting death." The voice echoed as if heaven and earth resonated.
As they spoke, large expanses of dark clouds began to descend, rapidly transforming.
Amidst it all, a holy chant echoed spaciously, and invisible forces began to converge. Soon, a majestic giant ford from dark clouds gradually took shape.
This was a terrifying cloud giant that towered over a thousand ters, with a body that connected heaven and earth, filling the space.
Countless lightning bolts shuttled within its indistinct body, bursting with streaks of blue light.
Chen Shouyi gasped, his face filled with shock. What astounded him even more was that this was not its true form, but rely a projection of power. The true body was hidden sowhere unknown.
The giant's hand made of dark clouds slowly lifted.
The weather changed dramatically.
Simultaneously, a blue lightning bolt gradually began to form.
Chen Shouyi retreated step by step, feeling completely locked on.
There was no escape, nowhere to hide.
A nuclear missile quickly launched toward the cloud giant, but it exploded mid-air several kiloters away. The shockwave from the nuclear explosion blew away one side of the giant's body, but soon more dark clouds descended to repair it.
The lightning bolt grew increasingly bright, and the giant ford by dark clouds assud a standard spear-throwing stance.
His hair stood on end.
"Co on." He took a step back and roared loudly, his voice like thunder.
In the next mont,
he was engulfed by an endless light.
"Boom!"
Monts later, as the light faded, a giant figure shrouded in smoke stood firm at the scene.
"Heh heh... hahahahah..." Chen Shouyi laughed maniacally, "Barbarian God, bring out your true body, your current power is insufficient to impress."
...
Several minutes later.
He exited the mory virtual world, staring at the ceiling.
It took him quite a while before he sat up.
He glanced at his body, still marked with burn scars. The fiery pain on his skin didn't bother him; he picked up a cup on the table, poured himself so water, and drank it in one gulp, ignoring the heat.
Perhaps it was the threat of the super nuclear missile, or perhaps he was simply not deed a threat; the true body never appeared from start to finish.
It made him a bit discouraged.
He paced back and forth, brows furrowed.
Just then, footsteps approached, and sensing sothing, he opened the door and walked outside.
Ye Zong, Luo Jingwen, and two Caucasians hurriedly approached.
"Lao Ye, Lao Luo, you're here too!"
"Ha, long ti no see." Luo Jingwen forced a faint smile.
Ye Zong nodded as well, speaking heavily, "We received the orders this afternoon and were dispatched here... By the way, let
introduce you, this is Anderson."
Anderson felt slightly nervous, not daring to slack off, hurriedly extending his hand and respectfully speaking in awkward Mandarin, "Hello, God Chen, you can call
by my Chinese na, An Haoran."
Chen Shouyi shook hands with him.
"This is Mark."
Mark was even more nervous than An Haoran, his face seeming nearly frozen.
Chen Shouyi looked at him, his gaze becoming sharp, "I've seen you before, a legend of the Pantheon, right, Anderson, now I rember why the na sounded so familiar. Are you both from the Pantheon?"
"Yes... yes." Mark felt as if he were being stared at by a prehistoric giant beast, his face pale, unable to speak.
"God Chen, please don't misunderstand, there is no Pantheon anymore. Both of us have been pardoned by the Great Xia Country, and now we are citizens of the Great Xia Country," An Haoran, sweating profusely, hurriedly explained.
Chen Shouyi glanced at Ye Zong and Luo Jingwen, seeing them both nod, "I hope things are as you say."
Mark and An Haoran felt the pressure lift, their entire bodies almost collapsing, feeling as if they had taken a trip through hell, unable to keep the fear from their hearts, feeling that even facing a True God was no different.
Luo Jingwen tried to ease the tension, "Let past grievances be the past, now we are all one."
Chen Shouyi was not one to hold grudges, so he let it go, turning to Luo Jingwen, asking, "Have Wang Lie and Zhu Xueqing co over?"
The only martial artists from the Capital City he had a good relationship with were these few.
Upon hearing the question, Luo Jingwen imdiately fell silent for a mont before speaking, "Wang Lie has already sacrificed himself; Zhu Xueqing should be coming over."
Chen Shouyi was taken aback, still clearly rembering the middle-aged man who sheepishly asked him to sign an autograph for his daughter, only to know he had also made the ultimate sacrifice, "When did this happen?"
"Almost half a year ago," Luo Jingwen said softly.
ps: Two updates tomorrow.
