HISS!
The Lord of Darkness, Master of Primordial Chaos, Thunder Lord, Lord Yan, as well as countless powerhouses of the Gu Family, all stared, dumbstruck and minds reeling, at Lin Langtian's corpse, whose eyes remained wide open in an unpeaceful death.
Is this what a Divine Spirit is?
Even a terrifying powerhouse like Lin Langtian was no match for a mere projection.
He couldn't even withstand a single move.
Divine Spirits are terrifying to such an extent!
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never believe that there could be such a fearsome being in this world.
Too terrifying.
In front of the God of Hongmeng, their Symbol Ancestor, whom they regarded as a Divine Spirit, was probably no different from a mortal.
"May the God of Hongmeng bless us!"
"Thank you, great God of Hongmeng, the highest and most sacred!"
The Gu Family Head and all the Gu Family powerhouses constantly kowtowed and worshipped, their hearts simultaneously excited and fearful, for it was their honor to witness such a Divine Spirit.
Especially since the God of Hongmeng had destroyed Lin Langtian, it was as if he had helped them eliminate an enemy.
Although the God of Hongmeng was just a wisp of a Divine Power incarnation summoned by Tushan Rongrong, whether it possessed consciousness was still debatable.
But the God of Hongmeng's destruction of Lin Langtian undoubtedly helped them eliminate an enemy. This was true, intentional or otherwise.
"Let's go over and greet the seniors!"
The Lord of Darkness transmitted his voice to the others.
"It's only proper!"
The Lord of Space, Thunder Lord, and the others responded.
They came before Liang Bing, Chong Lou, and the others, cupped their fists in a greeting, and said, "Lord of Darkness (Lord of Space, Thunder Lord), pays respects to the seniors!"
Chong Lou nodded coldly and said indifferently, "The matter here is resolved. I'm leaving!"
With that said, Chong Lou prepared to use the red packet function of the chat group to return to the Immortal Sword Three Realms.
The chat group's red packet function allowed one to set an initial coordinate. After leaving one's world, sending a red packet to oneself enabled a direct return via this coordinate. (This is mentioned again for any readers who might be unfamiliar.)
The Lord of Darkness and the others didn't mind Chong Lou's cool attitude.
The gap in strength between them and Chong Lou was too vast. The fact that Chong Lou gave them a slight nod was already showing them great consideration.
"You wish to know about us and the God of Hongmeng?"
Bibi Dong looked at the Lord of Darkness and the others. Her calm voice startled them, and they quickly said, "Immortal Lady, your perception is clear. We are indeed somewhat curious, but if it's inconvenient to speak of, we would never dare to press further!"
"It's no trouble!"
Looking at the deferential and fearful Lord of Darkness and the others, Bibi Dong shook her head and said, "Information about the God of Hongmeng and us isn't much of a secret. My name is Bibi Dong, and as you've likely guessed, I come from another world!"
It really is another world, the Lord of Darkness and the others thought to themselves.
They were well aware of the powerhouses that existed in their world.
It was impossible for so many terrifying powerhouses to appear out of thin air.
The only explanation was that they came from other worlds.
"They, like me, all come from different worlds; we are all messengers of my God. Your world has one too!"
As she spoke, Bibi Dong reached out and grasped at the void. Lin Dong, who was far away in the Eastern Xuan Region of the Great Yan Dynasty, was pulled over.
"Goddess Bi!"
Seeing Bibi Dong, Lin Dong inwardly sighed with relief.
Just moments ago, he had thought he'd encountered enemies.
"Lin Dong pays respects to the seniors!"
Lin Dong greeted Xiong Ba, Tushan Rongrong, and the others with a cupped fist salute and said gratefully, "This time, it's all thanks to you, seniors. Otherwise, I would have been in danger!"
Previously in the chat group, he had been secretly relieved that he was the one who joined; if it had been someone else, he feared his situation would have been dire.
Unexpectedly, even though he had joined the chat group, an Alien Demon possessing a System had appeared in his world.
Fortunately, the chat group members and the God of Hongmeng were powerful.
Otherwise, he definitely would have perished.
"Martial Ancestor, no need for formalities. The matter here is resolved, so I'm heading back too!" Xiong Ba, Yunyun, and others bid their farewells successively.
"Safe travels to the seniors!" Lin Dong called out.
"Martial Ancestor, explain the matter of the God of Hongmeng to them. I'm also leaving," Bibi Dong said as she too took her leave, leaving only Tushan Rongrong behind.
Tushan Rongrong had no pressing matters to attend to upon returning.
She planned to wait until Lin Dong completed his sacrifice before leaving.
"We pay our respects to the Martial Ancestor!"
The Lord of Darkness and the others gave Lin Dong a fist-and-palm salute, yet their hearts were filled with curiosity.
It seemed that Lin Dong only possessed a Cultivation Level of the Form Creation Realm.
To them, such a Cultivation Level was comparable to that of an ant.
Why then, did Bibi Dong and the others address him as Martial Ancestor?
Could it be that Lin Dong was concealing his true power?
"You need not be so formal. My name is Lin Dong, a follower of the God of Hongmeng. As for the title of Martial Ancestor, that's merely my original destined future. I am currently only at the Gaseous Realm!"
Lin Dong looked at the Lord of Darkness and the others; each of them had a distinctive appearance.
Though it was their first meeting, Lin Dong, who was familiar with the original story, could still identify who each of them was.
Original destined future?
The Lord of Darkness's eyes were full of surprise, latching onto the key point.
The Master of Primordial Chaos and the others also looked at Lin Dong with curiosity.
They found it somewhat difficult to understand.
"For instance, my God can observe countless living beings in the Great Qian World with a single glance—past, present, and future!"
Lin Dong explained, "In my original destiny, I obtained the Ancestral Stone…"
As Lin Dong narrated, the Lord of Darkness and the others listened, captivated, as if witnessing a youth rise from adversity, ultimately defeating the Alien Demon Emperor and saving the world.
"The God of Hongmeng's Divine Skills are vast, and His Divine Power is boundless! It's truly hard to imagine that He could see a person's future, even the future of this world!"
The Lord of Space sighed with admiration.
"Indeed, evil cannot triumph over good. It's just a pity that our little junior sister ultimately followed our master's path, sacrificing herself for the world!"
The Lord of Darkness felt a pang of sorrow, yet he was also relieved by the outcome: the Alien Demon Emperor's defeat and the restoration of peace to the world.
"Martial Ancestor, since you could call upon seniors from other worlds for help, if the Alien Demon Emperor returns, would our little junior sister not have to sacrifice herself?"
The Master of Primordial Chaos looked at Lin Dong, his eyes filled with hope, as he asked rather anxiously.
SWISH. SWISH.
Everyone turned to look at him in unison.
Lin Dong shook his head.
The Lord of Darkness and the others immediately felt a wave of disappointment.
Indeed.
Although Lin Dong and those seniors were all followers of the God of Hongmeng, the gap in their cultivation levels was too great.
How could such powerful beings be called upon so easily?
Seeing the disappointed looks on everyone's faces, Lin Dong touched his nose, knowing they had misunderstood.
He explained, "It's better to rely on oneself than on others. Under the glory of our God, the Alien Demon Emperor is nothing to fear. Why trouble the seniors from other worlds!"
"Your injuries haven't healed yet, have they?"
"Indeed!"
The Lord of Darkness nodded. "I was seriously injured in the first great war between heaven and earth and had been in slumber, recovering. It was this disturbance that compelled me to awaken!"
"Same here!"
The Master of Primordial Chaos chimed in.
The others nodded as well.
"First, join me in praying to the God of Hongmeng!"
Lin Dong looked at them and said, "Firstly, this will allow you to truly understand my God!"
"Secondly, my God will bestow divine grace, which can help you recover from your injuries!"
"Remember, the more sincere your heart, the more abundant the divine grace!"
"We'll trouble the Martial Ancestor!"
The Lord of Darkness and the others exchanged glances and agreed without hesitation.
They weren't worried that the God of Hongmeng would harm them.
With the might of the God of Hongmeng, worrying would be useless.
Soon, they began chanting along with Lin Dong.
"Open Up Chaos…"
「God's Kingdom.」
DING! A prompt, audible only to the Group Leader, sounded in Hongmeng's mind: "Congratulations, Group Leader, for annihilating the Alien Demons and completing the task. Reward: one million Points."
One million Points. Hongmeng paid no mind.
As before, Hongmeng sent out the mission rewards in the name of the chat group:
DING! "Congratulations to group member Tushan's Second Master for completing the group task. Reward: one top-grade heavenly artifact, three Lord God Level Divine Skills. Other members who participated in the task will receive two Divine Skills each."
As before, Hongmeng placed the Divine Skills and Divine Artifacts in the chat group for members to choose their preferred items.
In the chat group:
The Upper God's Dog Son: "Congratulations, Sister Rongrong! Wow, one top-grade heavenly artifact and three Lord God Level Divine Skills! So envious, drooling.jpg."
The Lord of Great Qin: "So envious!"
Huashan Sect Master: "So envious!"
Tushan's Second Master: "It's all thanks to the divine might of my God; otherwise, I would have been no match for the Alien Demons. I feel ashamed accepting this reward. I can only strive harder to spread the teachings of my God in the future to repay even a fraction of this!"
Dominator of the Underworld Association: "+1, for the glory of my God!"
Soul Hall Saint Girl: "+1, for the glory of my God!"
Demon Queen: "Alas, this Queen has nearly finished spreading the teachings on all the life-harboring planets in the universe. What am I to do now?"
Tushan's Second Master: "Same here!"
Huashan Sect Master: "You could do as I did and leave your world to preach in other worlds, couldn't you?"
Demon Queen: "You merely left your planet. This Queen has preached across the entire universe!"
"Leaving the universe and leaving a world are two different concepts!"
Tushan's Second Master: "It seems the space beyond my world is not a starry sky!"
Demon Gate Yinhou: "Our world has the concept of Breaking the Void, allowing ascension to higher-level worlds. I wonder if your worlds have something similar."
Demon Queen: "After a while, this Queen will leave the universe and give it a try!"
Tushan's Second Master: "Looking forward to it!"
The Lord of Great Qin: "Requesting a livestream!"
Dominator of the Underworld Association: "Requesting a livestream!"
Demon Queen: "Don't worry, this Queen will definitely livestream it for you all then!"
Cloud Mist Sect Master: "Tomorrow, I will again perform a sacrifice to my God and livestream it for everyone—the blood sacrifice of Xiao Yan! All are welcome to watch!"
The Upper God's Dog Son: "Looking forward to it, got my little stool ready!"
Martial Ancestor: Suddenly feeling a chill down my spine!
