Chapter 977: The Rain Emperor

A daunting aura suddenly began to spread from the top of the sky-reaching mountain. Cracks appeared in the void at the same time; horrific golden figures stepped out from them, producing heat as scorching as the sun.

“Damn it, they’re here already?”

Su Ping was truly flustered. He was planning to shock the gods, interrupting their cultivation by knocking the bell, but too many experts showed up right after the bell was rung. Do those guys have nothing else to do?

Having no time to regret, Su Ping quickly sent Joanna and Tang Ruyan into his small world. Then, he detonated himself!

Based on the experience from his past battles, Su Ping had found a quick way to detonate himself. It only took a thought; the astral power stored inside the countless cells of his body would explode at a high speed.

Let’s try again!

Su Ping was reluctant to let it go. He controlled the power of his self-explosion, directing it to the bell.

He would be satisfied even if he only managed to leave a hole in it.

Dum!!!

A loud and clear ringing of the bell echoed in the world.

The ringing sound reached far and wide. It wasn’t just a sonic wave; it also had a strange power that allowed it to bypass all constraints of space and time. It easily blew into deeper spaces and spread thousands of kilometers away. It had also moved decades into the past and into the future!

The people who had just arrived were stunned again once they heard the bell resound.

Someone saw the young man who was about to detonate himself in front of the Chaos Bell, quickly realizing what was going so he tried to prevent it, but they were too late. After all, nobody expected the unparalleled genius who sounded the Chaos Bell to kill himself later!

“It truly is the Chaos Bell!”

“Are my eyes deceiving me? Was it a human who struck the Chaos Bell?”

“Someone who’s not a god sounded the Chaos Bell twice?”

“Was it the bell sound we heard fifty years ago caused by this young man? It’ll be heard again in fifty years…”

“Why did he kill himself?”

The other gods present were awakened by the echoing Chaos Bell. They were shocked and suspicious; their first thought had been about a genius among the gods having done that. But no, it had been done by a human. Besides, the guy killed himself right after… Was he unaware of the privileges he would be graced with after such a feat?

Someone then said in a low voice, “The Rain Emperor is here!”

The others quickly looked up, only to see a majestic person who was almost thirty meters tall, glowing in sacred brilliance while he arrived at the gate.

Countless illusions were appearing in the void behind him; those images depicted dragons and devils.

Everyone knelt in front of the Emperor of the Rain Clan.

Both the young man and the old man next to him turned back. The old man hurriedly paid his respects, while the young prince lowered his head too, not daring to look back.

“Who struck the Chaos Bell?” said a casual, yet awe-inspiring voice, as if the entire world were underneath its feet.

“Replying to you, Rain Emperor, a young human did it,” said a god in a glittering halo, lowering his head.

“A human being…” After a moment of silence, the Rain Emperor asked slowly, “Where is he?”

“Reporting to Rain Emperor, the human being detonated himself after knocking the Chaos Bell. Then, the power of his self-explosion knocked the Chaos Bell again!” said the god.

“He detonated himself?”

The Rain Emperor paused for a moment. He was obviously surprised. The holy brilliance on his face faded, revealing a pair of eyes that could almost see through everything. He slowly raised his hand and drew a curve in midair. “He was able to knock the Chaos Bell, yet he killed himself afterwards. Let’s find out why he did that.”

The air rippled as his finger moved, as if a new universe were taking shape. The world around the Chaos Bell quickly flowed back in time. The vibrating Chaos Bell gradually came to a stop. The explosive energy in front of the bell was quickly gathering, producing a human phantom.

The phantom’s body was moving back. His actions were being replayed too.

“He really is a human being!”

The expert gods who had just arrived were astonished to see what was happening. It was unbelievable; a mere human being had made the Chaos Bell resound!

Everybody saw the young human’s face, and the red sword in his hand. They watched him stepping back from the bell to the front of the young prince, confronting each other.

All the gods immediately focused their attention on the young prince.

Everyone realized why the young human detonated himself.

The young prince felt awkward, noticing that everybody was staring at him, which made him feel out of sorts. Being a prince, he was no stranger to public attention, especially on major ceremonies. However, he had earned the honor by himself; he felt guilty at the moment for pushing a human who was capable of knocking the Chaos Bell to kill himself.

However, even though he felt guilty, the young prince was basically certain that he wouldn’t be punished because of a human.

After all, he was much more honorable than the victim.

The Rain Emperor stopped making time flow backwards. His eyes glittered as he gazed at the young prince who had his head lowered. His eyes could see through time; he was only replaying the incidents for other gods, because he had already seen what happened when he arrived.

However, he didn’t blame the young prince. After all, he was a prince of the clan.

However rare the human genius was, he would be found lacking when compared to a prince of the clan.

At that moment, a god as tall as a mountain stepped up and suggested.

“Rain Clan, why don’t you resurrect the young human and have him work for our clan?”

After a moment of silence, the Rain Emperor slowly shook his head while everybody stared at him. He said, “Something’s wrong with the young man. I cannot bring him back to life.”

His announcement left everyone in a stupor.

Once they understood what he said, all of them looked at the Rain Emperor in shock.

Even the Rain Emperor would be unable to bring the young human being who had detonated himself back to life?

The Rain Emperor could easily resurrect the Major Gods who had been dead for more than a thousand years.

How is this possible…

The same question popped up in every god’s head. For the first time, they didn’t believe what the Rain Emperor said. But then, they soon realized that the Rain Emperor had no reason to lie to them. Their emperor never lied, either.

The only conclusion was that something was truly wrong within the young human.

No wonder he could ring the Chaos Bell!

“For such a great genius to kill. What a shame!”

“He’s just a human being, but he might just become strong enough to compete with the Heavens if he’s trained well!”

All the gods were regretful.

The Rain Emperor looked at the distance with peaceful eyes. But actually, he was more shocked than any of the other gods at the moment. When he tried to resurrect the young human, a power that was threatening and dangerous even for him disrupted them.
