A fine rain fell from the overcast sky, cold drops striking black coats and umbrellas; beneath the umbrellas a mass of people stood, dark and dense. One day earlier, at Xiantian’s family gate “What—what? How did he die? Say something!” A woman in the woods collapsed to the ground; Qiancha stood before them. A man shouted at Qiancha. “I’m sorry. It’s my fault I couldn’t protect him. I—” “I told him long ago not to defy the gods, but he wouldn’t listen! The gods are all scum, including you! You’re a god too—get out of my house!” “Aaah…” Qiancha was pushed through the doorway by the man and had no choice but to return the way he came. “I am a god, but I will fight for true justice…” “Rest assured, I will wipe out all evil gods and avenge the innocent humans!” … “Qiancha, Xiantian’s death—we’re truly sorry. The Third Squad was ambushed by the enemy and couldn’t reinforce in time.” Faros and Linqi stood behind Qiancha and spoke. “It’s fine. This isn’t your fault. How’s the Third Squad?” Qiancha turned and asked. Faros and Linqi were taken aback; at that moment Qiancha’s eyes had turned gold, and his strength had increased greatly. “The Third Squad leader says the enemy is very likely a god; it doesn’t look ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) like ordinary bandits or monsters,” Linqi said. “By the way, Qiancha, this letter was sent to you by Bailang.” Qiancha accepted the letter and read it carefully. “To the new member Qiancha: Cadres Faros and Linqi of the Local Hegemons recommended you to me and told of your deeds—how you single-handedly killed two members of the Heavenly God Twelve Star Guards. I admire your strength and courage. From the moment you read this letter you are promoted to cadre of the organization and appointed Captain of the Second Squad. I look forward to your performance. — Chairman: Bailang”“It looks like good news?” Faros smiled and leaned in. Qiancha put the letter into his pocket. “Nothing special, just that my rank is now the same as yours.” “Well done, Captain Qiancha…” Cheers and laughter rose; a crow passed through the dark sky, landed on a high branch, and then slowly settled on Faros’s coat shoulder. “What…” Faros frowned. The members around looked at him, and after a few words to the crow, it flew off into the distance. “What’s the matter?” Linqi asked. “Gagrey told me the gods have declared war on the Mortal District. Currently the God Army is fighting the Chengyun Faction.” The moment Faros spoke, everyone’s faces tightened. “It seems they’ve lost their temper.” Qiancha said softly.“Anyway, Fourth Squad, go to maximum alert and await Bailang’s orders… Qiancha, hurry to the Second Squad.” Linqi said. Qiancha nodded, mounted a horse, and galloped east. … Three days earlier, Military Conference Hall of the Heavenly God Church “Everyone must already know what happened a few days ago—the Heavenly God Twelve Star Guard members Jinlong and Chengsu were killed by a mortal.” The sergeant-at-arms sitting at the table addressed Ruoshang the Divine King and the other divine-state leaders. “What mortal? How could someone even defeat members of the Twelve Star Guard?” One of them asked. That god was General Shang Luoying of the Shang nation; she removed her hood, revealing striking looks and long golden hair that soon drew the soldiers’ attention. “General Shang, this mortal is no ordinary person. He absorbed a—” “Absorbed? I heard the Heavenly God Church’s research group accidentally lost the most precious item in the world. It can’t be that—” The sergeant-at-arms, having been stunned by Shang Luoying’s beauty, recovered and finished speaking in a cold voice. He turned to the burly man sitting nearby; the placard on the table read: “Leader of Xuansi Country — Desiré.” “Y-yes. The item originally meant for this year’s God Festival prize for selecting the best leader was lost, and…” The sergeant wiped his brow, thinking, Even if we hadn’t lost it, you wouldn’t get it—after all, Divine Above himself had already given it… “That experimental subject has now been absorbed by a mortal, and he even killed two of our Heavenly God Church’s elite officers. This is an affront to divine authority. I propose, on behalf of the Church, that we call on other nations to send troops to attack the Mortal District. What do you think?” Ruoshang the Divine King finished, and Shang Luoying and Desiré both raised their hands in agreement. “What about Divine Above?” Ruoshang looked to the large man beside him—this was the supreme leader of the Zhongsheng nation and the most powerful god, Divine Above. “Agreed!” Divine Above said. “My lord, should we reconsider? It’s just one mortal’s crime—must we drag other mortals into suffering?” “Do you wish to protect them?” Divine Above glared at the subordinate behind him; the subordinate fell silent. … “Bailang.” A fully armed soldier approached from behind and knelt on one knee. “How are the Chengyun Faction’s forces doing against them?” A soft female voice asked. Bailang turned. Before the soldier stood a woman in a black coat. “Not optimistic. Martial schools have sent reinforcements; they can handle some strong opponents, but the Heavenly God Church’s elite and several national leaders have also appeared on the battlefield.” “Go.” “Hmm?” The soldier looked up at the beautiful woman. “Take our elites. Ruo Fu, go to the eastern front.” “Yes!” The soldier was about to leave when Bailang grabbed him. “You must come back alive for me to grant my promise.” “Don’t worry, Yin.” Ruo Fu looked at the young woman and fell silent.
