Chapter 1451: The First of a Hundred Days
Seeing Zhong Qing's moved gaze, Lu Benwei smiled faintly.
"I had some free time, so I came to take a look."
Hearing these casual words, Zhong Qing stood quietly and obediently to the side, his eyes showing shame.
"Thank you for lending a hand."
"If you hadn't come, even if I chopped at it for another few years, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to break through this barrier. I am truly ashamed and have failed to live up to Master's teachings..."
Hearing this, Lu Benwei sized up the current Zhong Qing.
The young man's figure had grown increasingly tall and sturdy. His golden hair exuded an extraordinary aura, already showing traces of his past demeanor. Seeing this, Lu Benwei nodded slightly, his eyes revealing a sense of gratification.
Before Zhong Qing could finish, he slowly waved his hand to interrupt him.
"Eldest Young Master, there is no need to blame yourself so much."
"When a young eagle has yet to fully grow, what shame is there in temporarily losing to a wild pheasant? If you were restored to your peak state, this trash wouldn't even count as a fart!"
Only then did Zhong Qing nod in response, his complexion improving significantly.
Next, Lu Benwei looked toward the dimming barrier in the distance. With a single glance, he saw through to the chaotic scene deep within, sighing with a look of disdain.
"Back then, you were forced to abandon your godhood, and they took advantage of it. By refining a mere ten-thousandth of your godhood, they barely managed to attain ordinary divine positions. These guys are far too useless."
"With just this little bit of ability, they actually have the nerve to call themselves gods, create this so-called 'Other Shore of the Gods,' and even put up such a barrier in an attempt to seal away the godhood."
"They are clearly just trash, hiding in the dark, afraid to show themselves to the world, yet they are quite skilled at putting gold on their own faces!"
"Gods? Are they even worthy?"
"Hmph..."
After a cold sneer, Lu Benwei casually threw a punch and shattered the restriction before him.
The barrier that Zhong Qing had hacked at for a long time without making a single dent was as fragile as a thin sheet of paper in front of him. With a light touch, it turned into nothingness.
"Whoosh!"
As the barrier dissipated, the hidden dark world revealed its true appearance.
Lu Benwei immediately led Zhong Qing forward, and in an instant, they stepped into that hidden realm.
The two flew over thousands of miles of dense forests. They could feel that the spiritual energy in this world was abundant to the extreme. Terrifyingly high-level spiritual herbs and immortal medicines could be seen everywhere, growing wildly across the mountains and plains like weeds, completely ignored by anyone.
Seeing that they had been flying for several breaths of time and had witnessed all sorts of treasures and anomalies, yet still hadn't seen a single person, it seemed as if this was an ownerless land.
Lu Benwei suddenly stopped his figure, clasped his hands behind his back, and looked around the empty world.
"How long are you lot going to hide!"
A thunderous shout echoed through the world.
Wherever the lingering echoes reverberated, no one could escape, and there was no hiding to speak of!
Finally.
Countless figures appeared from all directions. Various tyrannical auras continuously emerged, approaching Lu Benwei one after another. A dense, dark crowd gathered on the ground, their faces filled with apprehension.
Standing silently for a long time, the crowd looked at each other, not daring to speak. They secretly peeked at the short skeleton figure in the sky, their eyes full of panic.
Seeing their extremely cowardly appearance, Lu Benwei directly started cursing loudly from the sky!
"You bunch of guys only dare to muddle along like rats in a gutter. You are satisfied with the inferior realm of Lesser Gods for this lifetime, without even the courage to advance to Intermediate Gods!"
"You cherish this tiny bit of status and strength so much that you hide here, afraid to show your heads, terrified that someone might snatch your divine positions!"
"What a bunch of trash, not a single one of you has any backbone!"
"This is clearly a rat's nest. You are scared to death all day long, which is why you gathered all your strength to set up a restriction for self-preservation. Yet you actually have the face to claim you reside on the 'Other Shore of the Gods.' You're even lying to yourselves; it's utterly ridiculous!"
As his scolding resonated, many gods gloomily lowered their heads, their eyes showing shame.
Naturally, there were also those who looked indignant, proudly raising their eyes to retort!
"Dammit!"
"What sarcastic remarks are you making! No matter what, we are genuine gods. What right do you have to..."
Before he could finish speaking, that person was crushed into flying ash and annihilated by a single finger!
"Trash..."
With just a casual point of a finger, a Lesser God was actually as vulnerable as an ant.
The indifferent words further heavily damaged the confidence of the remaining gods. The ground suddenly shook, and cries of alarm rose one after another!
"How is this possible!"
"How could you have such cultivation? Could it be that you are an Intermediate God?!"
Terror and shock intertwined. The eyes of the gods trembled continuously. Even the few gods who had harbored dissatisfaction just a moment ago now had a thick light of dread surfacing in the depths of their eyes!
However.
Lowering his eyes to sweep over the shocked expressions of the gods on the ground, the disdain in Lu Benwei's eyes became even thicker.
"Intermediate God?"
"In your eyes, is that already considered very strong?"
Asking casually, Lu Benwei crossed his arms and domineeringly overlooked the entire scene!
"What kind of trash is that, to be worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as Your Granddaddy?"
"Your Granddaddy holds a Supreme Divine Position, with the title God of Eternal Calamity!"
With a single resounding sentence, the pupils of everyone present trembled!
Before anyone could utter a word, Lu Benwei had already lightly raised his right hand, turning his five fingers into a palm and pressing down from the sky!
Instantly!
The over a thousand Lesser Gods on the ground trembled all over. They felt as if endless stars were pressing down on their heads, to the point that they couldn't even lift their heads. One after another, people fell to their knees, sweating profusely!
"Bang! Bang!"
In just a breath's time, the over a thousand gods all knelt in prostration, suppressed single-handedly by that skeletal palm!
The gods who had harbored various thoughts just a moment ago, upon hearing the name of Eternal Calamity and witnessing such terrifying strength, no longer dared to have the slightest delusion. They all crawled on the ground, shivering uncontrollably!
Suddenly.
This world became as silent as a cicada in winter. The terrifying pressure was enough to suffocate people!
Even with a thousand gods present, absolutely no one dared to make the slightest sound!
Until Lu Benwei lazily spoke up.
"The one who threw a punch just now, roll out here for Your Granddaddy!"
As his words fell, the overwhelming pressure descended once again, even more terrifying than before. Many gods were already prostrating themselves completely, their breathing becoming cautious.
Only one figure crawled and rolled to the front of the crowd, continuously kowtowing with sweat raining down!
"My Lord, forgive me, My Lord, forgive me!"
"This petty god did not know of Your Lordship's arrival and offended you out of momentary ignorance. I beg Your Lordship for mercy!"
This god was indeed more perceptive. Opening his mouth to beg for mercy, he could be called a wise man who submitted to circumstances. He had been extremely imposing earlier, but at this moment, he could lower his posture to the extreme, not daring to have the slightest complaint. He was truly capable of bending and stretching to the utmost limit.
Lu Benwei sized him up slightly, revealing a playful smile.
"Oh?"
"You're passable, I suppose. Considered a slightly stronger piece of trash."
"As the only Intermediate God here, you do have a bit of petty cleverness. To avoid the upcoming great war, you gathered a mob in this garbage place to play local emperor. You certainly thought beautifully."
Though it was clearly a teasing remark, the entire scene grew even more tense.
The Intermediate God prostrating at the front was so frightened that his body sank even lower, his head almost poking into the dirt!
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare..."
Looking at his panicked appearance, Lu Benwei changed the subject, showing no intention of showing mercy. He stared fixedly at him, and the pressure from his entire body rained down like a torrential storm!
"Did you think this would allow you to stay out of it?"
With a soft question, the world suddenly changed color!
The over a thousand gods were pressed so hard they sank into the earth. The soil and rocks cracked and trembled endlessly. The Intermediate God at the front turned pale and immediately kowtowed like pounding garlic!
"Spare my life, My Lord! Spare my life, My Lord!"
Seeing that the guy had kowtowed so hard he made a deep pit in the ground, he was already terrified to the extreme.
Only then did Lu Benwei withdraw his pressure and speak indifferently.
"Now, it is time for you to make a choice."
I will give you three breaths of time. Think carefully about which side you want to stand on in the future.
The soft words fell, startling the Mid-level God into suddenly raising his eyes.
His gaze trembled ceaselessly as he nervously cupped his fists in a salute.
My Lord...
Is there truly any hope in this battle?
Saying this, the Mid-level God hurriedly made his stance clear, his tone becoming resolute!
My Lord, please understand!
We are not greedy for life nor afraid of death. It is just that our strength is limited, and striking a stone with an egg would be utterly useless. That is why we thought to bear the humiliation and carry the heavy burden, waiting for That One to return!
Hearing these words, Lu Benwei's expression finally softened slightly. He looked toward the horizon and murmured softly.
That One is already on the way back.
Whoosh!
Hearing this, the numerous gods raised their eyes, their gazes filled with excited light, as if they had finally seen the dawn after a long period of darkness!
The Mid-level God's pupils trembled even more, and his cupped hands began to shake!
Finally!
That One is finally coming back!
In an instant.
An indescribably excited atmosphere spread among the thousands of gods. Gods weeping tears of joy could be seen everywhere. After exchanging thrilled glances, they all kowtowed together, their voices shaking heaven and earth!
We are willing to serve you, My Lord! Please command us!
We are willing to serve you, My Lord! Please command us!
We are willing to serve you, My Lord! Please command us!
In just a few breaths of time, the demeanor of the over a thousand gods drastically changed. Their previous cowardice was replaced by a suddenly erupting, fervent emotion. They shouted at the top of their lungs, and endless Dao rhythms flowed around them!
Looking down at this obvious change, Lu Benwei brought Zhong Qing and slowly landed on the ground.
When he spoke again, his tone was much more peaceful.
It seems you have come to your senses. You are not too foolish after all.
Since that is the case, I will borrow your place to first help him condense his Godhead. From now on, you all will act as his Dharma Protectors. You must not slack off in the slightest!
The gods were stunned upon hearing this.
Mustering their courage to look up, they followed Lu Benwei's gaze and finally saw the blonde young man beside him clearly. His unfamiliar appearance made many of them look at each other in dismay.
The Mid-level God observed him for a few breaths of time before curiously bowing to Lu Benwei.
My Lord...
Forgive this lowly god for being bold, but who might this be?
Lu Benwei cast a sidelong glance and casually uttered a single sentence.
This is the Head of the Hundred Heavens.
As soon as his voice fell, endless exclamations echoed around them, accompanied by the ceaseless gasping of cold air. They all bowed once again, their declarations of utmost loyalty echoing loudly!
Hiss...
So it is the Young Master in person!
Greetings, Young Master! We are willing to protect you!
Seeing that all the gods had fully submitted in deep reverence, Lu Benwei finally felt at ease. He gazed out at the endless deep space in the distance, then walked away with his hands behind his back, humming a tune.
Love how you walk the dark alleys alone, love your unpretentious look...
As the singing grew fainter, that small figure also moved further away, until it finally disappeared without a trace. Even so, many gods still looked on with reverence in their eyes, while simultaneously letting out a long sigh of relief.
Zhong Qing and the gods all bowed to respectfully send him off. Afterwards, Zhong Qing led the crowd and flew toward the center of this world.
Sitting cross-legged in the center, he began to condense his supreme Godhead.
Over a thousand gods guarded the surroundings. The power of rules filled the area, and Dao rhythms flowed like clouds and smoke. The dense spiritual energy had become visible to the naked eye like thick fog. If a mighty figure from some planet were to witness this scene from afar, it would be enough for them to experience an epiphany on the spot and continuously break through several bottlenecks!
Extraordinary colors continuously intertwined in the sky, and all sorts of anomalous phenomena and wondrous sights frequently appeared.
Various pure powers converged in the sky like a vast ocean, continuously being absorbed by Zhong Qing, whose eyes were tightly shut. His whale-like swallowing of energy left many of the protecting gods looking utterly astounded, and even the Mid-level God at the very front kept wiping away cold sweat.
Even though they had already achieved godhood, they had never witnessed such a terrifying scene with their own eyes. They were so shocked that they quietly communicated via voice transmissions, unable to conceal the horror in their tones.
Hiss...
Such terrifying power is being endlessly absorbed by the Young Master. This is truly astonishing!
Indeed! If it were me absorbing all these kinds of powers like that, I am afraid I would explode and die in less than three breaths, ending up with my body and soul completely destroyed!
The Young Master is the Head of the Hundred Heavens! How could lowly gods like us possibly compare?!
Everyone, please speak cautiously! Even if it is just an unintentional exclamation, such words of comparison are already highly disrespectful!
Yes, yes, yes!
The more they watched, the more horrified they became, and the look of awe and reverence in their eyes grew even stronger.
The pure power above Zhong Qing's head, however, never stopped converging. In just a few breaths of time, the spirit herbs and immortal herbs across the entire world began to wither. All the spiritual energy gathered toward the center, floating in the sky like a vast ocean.
That terrifying ocean had expanded several times compared to its previous size. It poured down into Zhong Qing's physical body like a torrential flood. The power of this entire world would be gathered into him alone to forge a supreme Godhead!
Looking at this anomaly, the over a thousand gods sitting cross-legged around him as protectors were so shocked that their faces flushed red and their breathing stopped. The leading Mid-level God's eyes flashed with extraordinary light, his excitement overflowing from his face!
The Head of the Hundred Heavens would soon return!
