Chapter 1607: Chapter 939: The God’s Past
Shang Di watched Lu Xingnan’s departing figure, a trace of contemplation in his eyes.
His body was slightly plump, already forty-two years old this year.
However, with the emergence of superpowers, after he cultivated them, he looked increasingly youthful.
As a middle-aged man before the apocalypse, he actually already had a certain amount of wealth before the disaster.
Thanks to his drinking ability and glib tongue, he thrived in the sales industry.
Later on, he even started his own company and became a boss.
But six months of heavy rain and flooding caused his warehouse to be submerged, and all his inventory was ruined.
At that time, at home, he was almost dying of worry, thinking that after the floods passed, he would certainly go bankrupt.
Unexpectedly, this rain just kept falling without end, directly leading to the arrival of the great flood apocalypse.
This time, he didn’t have to worry about bankruptcy anymore.
However, he had to worry about survival.
Because he had a bit of money and lived in a villa.
And at the early stages of the great flood, the villas were the first to be submerged.
What’s worse, he had a very beautiful wife.
This wife was someone he found after divorcing his ex-wife, young, beautiful, energetic, but a bit materialistic.
At that time, with less than two months of heavy flood, the villa district was already uninhabitable.
With no option, Shang Di took his young wife, found a plank, put on a life jacket, and paddled towards the nearby mountain.
Fortunately, his house was submerged early, and he managed to escape in time.
So when the flood continued to rise and numerous mutant beasts appeared in the water, he was already on the mountain.
Not only did he successfully evade the great flood, being among the first batch of residents on the mountain, but later, with his glib tongue, he convinced many people to follow him.
As more people followed him, a small power gradually formed.
However, as the floods worsened, more and more people headed up the mountain.
Those who came up later were mostly ruthless people.
Because, basically, those who survived in early tall buildings were quite ruthless.
These people were naturally not going to follow Shang Di obediently.
Several burly individuals even often caused trouble.
Until one day, a small nearby power leader suddenly awakened a superpower, causing a significant shift in the power distribution on the mountain.
That person became the object of everyone’s allegiance, swiftly wiping out all opposition on the mountain.
Those who resisted were mostly killed directly or thrown into the flood.
Shang Di was shrewd; he chose to surrender immediately, throwing himself under that person.
And the cost was his beautiful young wife.
However, his wife was quite materialistic, not holding any sentimental attachment to him, and happily went with that superpower user for a better life.
Afterwards, as more people awakened superpowers, several power struggles broke out on the mountain.
Shang Di’s beautiful young wife changed several men during these power shifts, and fittingly made a name for herself, leading a group out and becoming the boss herself.
As Shang Di’s ex-husband, she didn’t trouble Shang Di but instead recruited him into her team to work for her.
However, during the period she was repeatedly manipulated by men, her mentality became twisted, often doing perverse things.
The most perverse thing was that she would deliberately play out NTR scenarios, forcing Shang Di to watch her with other men.
It seemed she wanted to take revenge on Shang Di for giving her to that superpower user.
Shang Di was furious yet helpless.
But soon, an opportunity came; his superpower awakened, and it was quite unique.
Using his awakened superpower, he surreptitiously cultivated followers in the tall buildings at the foot of the nearby mountain, developing a cult.
Until one day, his strength surpassed all the superpower users on the mountain.
He returned with followers from the buildings, finally taking revenge.
He not only eradicated these former adversaries but didn’t spare even his wife, killing her to quell his anger.
Since then, to maintain his godly image, he began living in seclusion, encouraging everyone to warmly welcome refugees.
More and more people fled to the mountain, and more people began to worship him as a ‘divine being’.
At some point, he truly became the omnipotent god in everyone’s mind.
Aside from not being able to stop the torrential rain in the sky and receding the flood, he seemed capable of fulfilling everyone’s requests.
So his prestige grew, and sitting high in the shrine, he relished the feeling of power in his hands.
As floating islands and airborne islands appeared, a Divine Country was established, expanding its territory.
Until it expanded to central Yu Province, where it encountered Kerry Technology.
At that time, Kerry Technology not only had powerful superpower users but also had more advanced Rune Technology compared to the Divine Country.
Shang Di once clashed with James and was appalled to find that James could restrain his superpower.
He suffered a terrible defeat, barely escaping with his life.
Since then, he no longer provoked James and Kerry Technology.
But even when he stayed put, someone came to him.
The rapid development of Jin Shirong’s Mengya Company led to a conflict with Kerry Technology. Witnessing James’s might, they sidestepped Kerry Technology, preparing to attack the Divine Country to expand their territory.
Thus, as the ‘divine being’ of the Divine Country, Shang Di naturally couldn’t allow Jin Shirong to attack.
The two fought on the Divine Island in the Divine Country, where Shang Di decisively defeated Jin Shirong.
However, Jin Shirong had already duplicated the Clone Superpower; the entity sent for battle was merely a clone.
Shang Di killed Jin Shirong’s clone, leaving Jin Shirong both shocked and angry, not daring to easily invade the Divine Country again for a while.
So Mengya Company settled down and decided to expand southward.
Thus, a tripartite standoff formed in Yu Province.
Due to Kerry Technology and Mengya being to the south, Shang Di was unable to expand further south and decided to develop northward.
But within just a month of development, he attracted the attention of the Jingzhou Military.
Thus, a conflict erupted between the Divine Country and the Jingzhou Military, with both sides compromising, leading to the situation today.
Returning to his thoughts, Shang Di shook his head slightly, murmuring to himself, “The Jingzhou Military’s Rune Technology is too impressive; they’ve even developed technologies like space migration.”
“Could they really be aiming to advance into space?”
Thinking of this, Shang Di looked up at the sky.
His gaze seemed to pierce through the palace roof, gazing into the boundless void.
“What exactly is this cosmic river? Where did it come from?”
——
Jingzhou, Red Star Island.
This was Hong Tianyi’s Floating Island, and now also the central hub of the Jingzhou Military.
Red Star Island was enormous, with an area approximately equivalent to a township.
This island was rich in a special ore called Red Star Ore.
This ore could be refined into special Red Star Minerals, which had a light density, high superpower energy conduction efficiency, and excellent malleability, among other advantages.
Most importantly, this ore is now the primary material for manufacturing spacecraft.
Of course, a Floating Island can produce ore mainly because its giant zombie body possesses corresponding attributes.
The Jingzhou Military’s spacecraft manufacturing base is now built on this Red Star Island.
Hong Tianyi sat in the conference room, with military commanders from various districts below him.
These people all called themselves generals, each commanding their own troops and territories.
Hong Tianyi spoke solemnly, “Everyone, the Divine Country has shown clear signs of withdrawal. Now is the perfect time to attack. As long as we persuade Kerry Technology to cooperate with our military, we can surely eradicate the Divine Country cult in one fell swoop!”
As soon as he finished speaking, many people below nodded.
A middle-aged man in a military uniform spoke up, “A cult running rampant, daring to preach in Jingzhou—it is absolutely intolerable.”
“Now they’ve been pushed back once, but this kind of force is a festering wound. If not thoroughly resolved and allowed to develop slowly, it will inevitably grow into a great menace.”
“So I also agree with General Hong’s proposal; this time, we must destroy the Divine Country cult!”
After he finished speaking, others nodded in agreement and immediately expressed their views.
“The cult cannot be left alone; it must be eradicated.”
“Earlier ignorance is excusable, but now the cult exists right under our noses, even daring to infiltrate our military. How can we tolerate this? We must eliminate them!”
…
Seeing that many agreed with his suggestion, Hong Tianyi smiled broadly.
He tapped the table and said, “Since we all agree, let’s allocate our battle plans.”
“Of course, Kerry Technology is a crucial part of our operation, otherwise, the Divine Country cult could retreat south at any time.”
“Hitting the snake without killing it will result in retaliation—we must ensure a decisive victory and not let the Divine Country cult escape southward!”
