Chapter 597: Battle for the Altars
Ling Chen was stunned when he saw the Altar of the G.o.ds in front of him.
He remembered from his chat with Ling Feiyu that the Ma.n.u.script of the G.o.ds was in Jiang Feng’s hands.
He was no idiot, and he could naturally guess that the appearance of the Altars of the G.o.ds would have something to do with Jiang Feng.
Naturally, he could guess the reason why an Altar of the G.o.ds would appear right in front of him.
His guess was that Jiang Feng purposely did that.
So that he could have a chance to become a G.o.d.
But what he did not know was that Jiang Feng had set up the Altars randomly. He did not even know that he was there. It was a coincidence that the Altar fell at where he was.
Not to mention that as he was Jiang Feng’s in-law, and he was not that weak, it should be quite easy if he wanted to become a G.o.d.
“Wife, just go up the Altar of the G.o.ds. I will protect this Altar for you!”
While Ling Chen knew that it was a rare chance to be bestowed divinity, but he also knew that it would be quite easy for him to ask for a spot in the Ma.n.u.script of the G.o.ds with his relations.h.i.+p with Jiang Feng. That was why he chose to give this spot to Xia Ranfei.
Whoos.h.!.+
However, dreams would always be beautiful whereas reality would often be disappointing and cruel.
As soon as Ling Chen had said that, a group of players on their mount had all descended from the sky. In a short while, the Altar of the G.o.ds was surrounded by dozens of people.
These were all players. When they had reached the Altar of the G.o.ds, they did not choose to immediately fight. Instead, they looked for a cozy place to have a rest and then kept on glancing at Ling Chen and Xia Ranfei.
Xia Ranfei mounted on her steed and flew to the side of the Altar of the G.o.ds, and then said to Ling Chen as she pouted, “Little Chen, kill them already.”
Ling Chen looked at his surroundings as his mouth twitched and he then smiled bitterly at Xia Ranfei. “Baby, don’t rush. The Altar is still being protected at this time. We can start the fight after two hours, alright?”
The main reason that the players had not started fighting was because of the Altar’s two hours protection.
T/L Note: Wait, I’m pretty sure you said five in the previous chapter…
If they were to attack now, they would instantly become the public enemy and they would be swarmed.
While Ling Chen was blinded by love, he still had the basic ability to think.
“Hmph, useless!” Xia Ranfei snorted and did not care about him.
When Ling Chen heard her say that, his expression darkened as he sat under the altar without saying anything.
“Alright, don’t get angry. It’s my fault, okay,” When Xia Ranfei saw that Ling Chen was getting angry, she plotted deep down and landed on the ground. She then continued to comfort him.

Divine Dominion Continent.
Ji Qiu was the top player on the Divine Dominion Continent, holding both the top rankings in the Level Leaderboard and Popularity Leaderboard.
He was an unaffiliated player, but because of opportunities, his power had quickly increased.
However, the faster his power increased, the more people he had offended.
At this time, he was being chased after by a guild from the Divine Dominion Continent and he was hiding in Lanruo Temple.
Ji Qiu was a gunner and he held two guns. Once he had reloaded the two guns, he then hid behind a buddha statue in Lanruo Temple.
“Ji Qiu is still being aggro’ed. Find him!”
At this time, a group of players rushed into Lanruo Temple and began searching.
Boom!
Just as they were preparing to enter Lanruo Temple and search the temples, an Altar of the G.o.ds fell right in the middle of Lanruo Temple!
At this time, a man called Hei Kun laughed out excitedly when he saw the Altar, and then said to his underlings, “Haha! To think that the Altar of the G.o.ds would fall right here! You, form a group to find him. The others, follow me and guard this Altar of the G.o.ds!”
Hm?
When Ji Qiu saw the altar, he raised his eyebrow and began to plot.
When he saw someone entering the temple, he frowned and looked for a place to hide.
“Hm? There seems to be a hidden switch here!”
At this time, Ji Qiu noticed a b.u.t.ton behind the Buddha statue. He was surprised for a moment, and then he directly pressed the switch. A door quietly opened behind the Buddha’s statue and his heart skipped a beat in joy, and he quickly took out a golden pill, crushed it, and smeared it on the b.u.t.ton. He then entered the tunnel behind the Buddha statue.
After entering the tunnel, he walked down the stairs.
In a short while, he then saw a group of monks.
When the monks saw him, they all attacked him.
When he saw that, he did not dodge and took out his guns and began to fire at the monks.

After summoning the Altars of the G.o.ds, Jiang Feng smiled as he looked at the map of both Divine Dominion Continent and Silvermoon and said, “I’m sorry, but in order to choose the best followers I can, I need to have you all fight for them!”
He knew that as soon as the Altars of the G.o.ds were opened, he would cause them all to fight against each other.
But he was out of options. He needed elites. The s.h.i.+fter faction needed elites.
Indeed, he alone could easily destroy a guild. But when he had reached the later stages of the game, especially when facing three enormous nations during the World War, he alone could not secure victory without some powerful allies.
“Next, I should go and level up. Once I have reached the maximum level of 250 on Silvermoon, I should go to the Cultivation Room to arrange my skills!”
With that, he then used the Teleportation Circle to teleport to Beibing City and headed toward Mount Chang.
The monsters at the foot of Mount Chang were all maxed-level monsters. He was going to wait until his levels were maxed too before asking Jiang Fan and Zhao Yun over to enter Mount Chang once more.
“Hm?”
But when he entered Mount Chang again, he was stunned.
Not only was the once freezing and snowy Mount Chang gone, but it had also become a paradise among the snowy plains. It had become a very beautiful place.
When he reached the village, the village NPCs had also all returned to normal and were living a normal life. There was no scene where they were eating themselves.
“What happened? Why would Mount Chang change? Is it because the map would change once I take Zhao Yun out of this place?”
When he saw what was happening, he could not understand what had happened and he felt very helpless.
When he saw that Mount Chang was no longer the original Mount Chang, he regretted it. There were still many good things that he did not take out from that place.
“Fine, I should find a place to level up then.”
Since the Heavenly Seal s.p.a.ce’s Mount Chang had disappeared, he did not want to waste any more time and immediately flew toward a monster’s territory.

Beep! Beep!
Just when Ling Feiyu was bringing Jiang Fan to look for the ore veins for the s.h.i.+fter Emperor’s Planet, her friend panel suddenly began to flash as a video call invitation appeared.
“Little Chen, you need me?”
Ling Feiyu accepted his request for a video call and asked Ling Chen on the screen.
“Nice to meet you, Uncle” Jiang Fan politely greeted him.
“Nice to meet you, Little Fan,” Ling Chen said to Little Fan with a smile. He then turned to Ling Feiyu with the face of a beggar and said, “Big Sis, can you help me with something?”
Ling Feiyu rolled her eyes at Ling Chen. “What kind of help?”
“Behind me is an Altar of the G.o.ds. My girlfriend wants to gain divinity, but there are plenty of players here, can you help me deal with them?”
“Aren’t you very powerful now? Why are you still looking for me?”
“I am powerful, but I can’t handle this many people. Do you think I’m my in-law?”
Ling Feiyu said to Ling Chen in annoyance, “Tell me your coordinates and I’ll go over later.”
“Hehe, thanks, Big Sis! But please don’t say that the Altar was sent here by my in-law. Or she would think that the Altar that I fought for her would be unimportant.”
Ling Chen said to Ling Feiyu and then happily disconnected the video call.
