Chapter 1459 – New G.o.d
The Divine Nation banquet was held as scheduled and millions of believers gathered together for the joyous occasion.
The only thing that made them puzzled was that Holy Light Saint suddenly announced during the banquet that the evil spirit who invaded the camp would now jointly have the authority of holding the light with him. He would become the First Master of the Divine Nation.
This was so sudden!
Although the believers did not know the real secret of the Divine Nation, they knew that there could not be two leaders in a world, let alone two masters.
The most devout and high-ranking priests expressed their worries to Holy Light Saint secretly but they were dismissed. It was obvious that the Holy Light Saint had already made his final decision about this.
It had been proven that the overlord had grown much smarter and he commanded respect from his believers.
As such, even though the believers were in doubt and felt uneasy, they accepted the reality. From now on, the Divine Nation would have another Divine Spirit to oversee it.
A new Divine Nation carving appeared on the altar and this became the only way for the believers to give their prayers to the new ruler.
When the carving was accepted by the believers, Qin Yu felt a strange connection to this small world…the transfer of the Divine Nation was a simple process that occurred without any issue.
The reason why it seemed simple was that Qin Yu’s ‘stealing’ of the Divine Nation was approved by the chicken overlord. He voluntarily handed the rights of the Divine Nation to Qin Yu and removed his imprint from the Divine Nation.
Otherwise, it would not have been easy to steal a Divine Nation. Even if he killed the master of the Divine Nation, the master could self-destruct the Divine Nation and commit suicide.
With the new Divine Spirit, the believers would inevitably be shaken. This was true despite the announcement given by the chicken overlord. It was impossible not to experience this disturbance.
The consequence of this was that Qin Yu had a weak connection with the Divine Nation despite the fact that he had obtained the rights to it. The believers did not fully accept and respect him. Evidently, Qin Yu would still need a length of time before he could accomplish his goals.
However, the issue was that Qin Yu needed to leave very quickly. He could not create some divine ‘miracles’ like the chicken overlord did from time to time to establish himself as the ruler and strengthen the faith of his believers.
As such, Qin Yu could only use a heavy-handed method.
He stepped forward to the altar; light gushed out of his body and made his entire demeanor seem far more majestic. There was a curious look in the eyes of many believers and they rushed over from all directions, wondering what this new Divine Spirit was going to say to them.
Qin Yu did not say anything. He knew that the absolute power in this world was pure strength itself.
As such, Qin Yu lifted his hand. A vast amount of light gathered in his hand and turned into a ma.s.sive light sword.
It was dazzling with light, and it was so blinding that it completely covered up the East Sea Sword that formed its skeleton.
Crack –
The Great Dao shattered!
Qin Yu slashed the light sword down, targeting the endless sky above him.
The next scene would forever be imprinted in the minds of the believers of light. They would never forget any details of such a memorable sight.
Air, clouds, sky…everything that the light sword targeted was sliced apart and all that was left was empty s.p.a.ce.
At that moment, the sword strike seemed to have split the world in two.
Shock, amazement and fear…all these kinds of powerful emotions rushed through the believers’ minds and their faces grew pale as they trembled.
Thud –
No one knew who the first person to kneel down on the floor was, but soon, the whole ma.s.s of believers kneeled before the altar. There were so many of them it was hard to count.
A sword strike that sacrificed his Great Dao just to shock the believers, was it worth it?
Qin Yu gave his answer with the slight smile on his face.
Yes, it was very worth it!
A few moments after the sword strike, the connection between him and the Divine Nation grew much stronger. As expected, the only way for believers to respect him was through swords, sabres and fists.
Belief, faith and values were important, too but these were side things that he could leave in the hands of the group of four.
One single strike unleashed today was enough!
Holy Light Saint smiled and maintained a calm expression. He must have expected this.
However, when no one else was looking, his legs trembled very hard.
Although he had sensed how powerful Qin Yu was from his aura, personally witnessing it confirmed how terrifying he was.
This sword…this strike…
Not to mention blocking it, if he had just one contact with it, he would be reduced to a corpse. The unforgiving sword would have smashed him into pieces.
This overwhelming sense of fear flooded the Holy Light Saint.
He started to doubt that he could turn the tables the day the Divine Nation finished being built, especially against Qin Yu.
Otherwise, would his gorgeous feathers be pulled out before he was thrown into a big wok of oil and cooked as a fried chicken?
As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Holy Light Saint shuddered. What a tough life he had. The moment he saw light in his future, an endless shadow covered him again.
The origin of this shadow was right in front of him. It was Qin Yu, who managed to obtain the respect of numerous believers…this guy, was he the jinx in his life?
Soaring Sky, Rice Paper, Ruan Jing, and Zhou Lei knew that Mister Ninth was one of the most powerful individuals in the Vast Brightness World but they could not help being utterly shocked after witnessing his sword strike.
This was supremacy in the Vast Brightness World. This was extraordinary.
Everyone had the same major misconception. This included the ma.s.s of believers, chicken overlord, and the group of four. They all thought that this was what Qin Yu could regularly do.
In fact, Qin Yu could only produce such a sword strike once because he only had one Great Dao.
Qin Yu was still one of the most powerful individuals in the world despite that, but his status would not be that great.
After all, there was a big gap between a strategic weapon and a fear weapon.
It was a pity that this secret would not be revealed because no one here dared to battle him right now.
Would anyone dare to challenge Qin Yu? While there would definitely be someone in the Vast Brightness World, he was the only sun in the sky in the Divine Nation!
As for the backlash…
Cough cough, was he stabbing himself by sacrificing his Great Dao to showcase the might of his sword strike? Of course not!
……
Qin Yu decided to cultivate after the banquet.
He needed to recover from his injuries while hiding it from chicken overlord. This was somewhat difficult.
Secondly, sacrificing his Great Dao was the most powerful weapon Qin Yu had. He had to heal himself quickly. After all, no one knew when an accident would occur.
The more he sacrificed his Great Dao, the harder it was to condense it again.
The only good news was that woman did not summon him while he was condensing his Great Dao. Otherwise, he would really have a headache from it.
After all, his mission was to enter the West Desolate where there were a lot of powerful cultivators. True Saints were only chess pieces there but since Qin Yu was an exceptionally powerful True Saint, he was somewhat confident.
Thirty-seven days.
This was the longest time Qin Yu had taken to condense his Great Dao. Of course, if other True Saints knew how unsettled he was because of the time he took, their eyes would turn red and they would want to kill him.
How could you not be satisfied with this? In reality however, Qin Yu was truly worried.
He silently gave himself a warning. No matter how strong the sacrificial Great Dao sword strike was, he would not use it unless truly necessary.
Scaring the crowd with the shattering of his Great Dao would only occur this one time.
It might be a coincidence or that Eye of Eternal Night knew beforehand, but he waited until Qin Yu recovered his Great Dao.
As such, there was a light buzzing sound and the Darkness Crown appeared above his head.
At that moment, Qin Yu’s aura changed drastically. It felt like the endless abyss had descended and devoured everything in the world.
With the Darkness Crown, how strong would the power of his sword strike while shattering his Great Dao be?
Qin Yu had not had a chance to test this out yet and honestly, he did not really want to have a use for it.
If he truly got to a state where he needed to try it out, it would mean that he was in an extremely dangerous situation. He would expose a lot of secrets and someone would find a loophole in him.
He was overthinking, come back!
Eye of Eternal Night lit up and an eye appeared. He had recovered his strength and he appeared more divine-like as he kept to himself.
“Master has given an order for us to head to the World of Darkness immediately.”
Qin Yu frowned, “Are we going to the Desolate Area already?”
“Yes!”
Qin Yu thought about it before saying, “We can’t go now, I still need some time.”
A cold glare flashed through the eye of Eye of Eternal Night, “It has already been some time since Master gave her orders. We can’t delay anymore.”
This was obviously a warning to Qin Yu. You shattered your Great Dao to scare the believers; this wasted so much time.
So many past events taught us a hard lesson – the truth was not always nice to bear. Those who were brave enough to say the truth would not have an easy time.
Qin Yu’s eyes narrowed and he snapped, “Eye of Eternal Night, don’t forget that I am also considered your Master aside from the Ruler.
“Also, since we have already delayed a while, there is no harm in waiting a little while longer for me to make preparations. This is how the mission can go smoothly. I believe that the Ruler will understand this too. What do you think?”
It was a question but also a harsh warning to Eye of Eternal Night. The coldness in Qin Yu’s voice was very thick.
Eye of Eternal Night fell silent. A few moments later, he said, “I will inform Master.”
“We will leave later!”
Qin Yu raised his thumb up, “I am only giving you a reminder once. Since you have some unknown way to reach the Ruler, you had better be blind and deaf with regard to me. Don’t see, don’t ask and don’t tell her. Do you understand?”
Finally, there was a hint of anger in Eye of Eternal Night’s voice as he said, “I can give you my promise…anyway, you were overthinking!”
Buzz –
Eye of Eternal Night fell silent again and the Darkness Crown disappeared. This did not mean that Eye of Eternal Night controlled the Darkness Crown – Qin Yu had to give him permission first.
Otherwise, it could only be a deaf and blind man. Eye of Eternal Night was furious because Qin Yu had not given him a chance to show himself and this made him subjected to obey Qin Yu’s orders…since he wanted to supervise Qin Yu at all times, he had to pay a price too. There was no such thing as fairness in this world!
“Humph!”
Qin Yu’s expression turned dark and a flicker of coldness appeared in his eyes. When he carefully thought about it, that woman already had a hand in him a long time ago. It was easy for her consciousness to descend upon him, keeping surveillance on him was also not hard.
As such, it truly was unjustified for him to be angry. Was he upset because he felt resentful that Eye of Eternal Night could directly communicate with that woman?
A bitter smile crossed Qin Yu’s face as these thoughts appeared in his mind. He had to admit that the reason he was angry was because he felt uneasy.
His connection with that woman could not be cut but he could not see anything about his future, he did not even have the slightest idea about it.
A good example was his journey into the Desolate Area this time. It was a vast world that was full of dangers. However, Qin Yu did not even know what he needed to do there, much less what he could do to prepare for it.
For someone who liked to have a clear picture and make preparations beforehand, it was very unsettling.
Yet, regardless of how unsettled he felt, he could not turn her down. As such, he could only delay the journey after the orders came. He would eventually have to head to the World of Darkness obediently.
All in all, Qin Yu was not a fan of this situation. His ideal situation would be to establish a greater connection with the Ruler.
However, Eye of Eternal Night’s transformation directly implicated this.
Qin Yu sighed deeply as he rubbed his forehead in exasperation. He suppressed his annoyance and uneasiness.
When he appeared before the chicken overlord and the group of four, he was back to his usual self.
If everyone wore a mask to meet each other, no one would live an easy life!
The teacher taught earnestly while the four students studied attentively. Qin Yu saw this scene when he arrived.
In order to showcase his value and persuade Qin Yu to keep him, the chicken overlord did not hold back. He reprimanded his students until they nodded in understanding. Then, he turned around and asked, “Master, are you done with your cultivation? It has only been ten days, yet your aura seems to have gotten much stronger. You are really a G.o.d-sent talent!”
He gritted his teeth. He struggled to regain his confidence after the encounter with Qin Yu, but when he met Qin Yu again, he could not help shuddering.
The chicken overlord’s words were not fully meant to suck up to Qin Yu. He could truly feel the improvement in Qin Yu’s strength.
How long had it been? Just how long had it been? At this cultivation level, one needed to go through a lot of obstacles and difficulties before their strength would increase.
Take him as an example. His cultivation only improved rapidly with the help of the Divine Nation but he could not compare to Qin Yu at all.
Insane! Madness!
Qin Yu did not bother with him. His gaze fell on the four of them and he asked, “How are your learnings?”
Soaring Sky replied, “Mister Ninth, although we do not have a complete understanding, we have a basic one with Holy Light Saint guiding us.”
Qin Yu understood Soaring Sky’s personality as a humble person. Since he claimed to have a basic understanding, things were proceeding smoothly. Qin Yu nodded in satisfaction and he was in a good mood. He instructed, “The building of the Divine Nation will be in your hands. Proceed with caution. If things go south, you can slow it down. Don’t take risks.”
“Understood, Mister Ninth!”
Rice Paper stood up. After a moment of hesitation, she asked in a small voice, “Mister Ninth, are you leaving?”
Qin Yu nodded, “Yes.”
He gave a simple answer to her direct question. The air was silent and there was a scent of reluctance.
However, this reluctance was not shared by Holy Light Saint. His eyes beamed with joy and he had to force himself not to show his glee.
He was leaving, ha ha ha, he was leaving!
Finally, he was finally able to leave the shadow of this jinx. The chicken overlord tried very hard to force a sympathetic look in his eyes.
He looked at Qin Yu, trying to show his reluctance and determination. Even if they had to separate after reuniting not too long ago, he would do his best to build the Divine Nation…because, all of it would eventually be his!
Ha ha ha ha!
No, I have to hold it in. This is not the time to be happy.
Qin Yu turned around and met the eyes of the chicken overlord. He could not help admiring the chicken overlord. He was truly a brilliant actor. He he, look at his gaze, att.i.tude and those s.h.i.+vering wings…perfect, it would be a shame not to crown him the best actor.
He coughed lightly and asked, “Are you reluctant?”
“Of course I am!” The chicken overlord cried as his eyes turned red. His voice turned solemn and he said, “But…”
He was about to say that he was willing to bear loneliness and the pain of separation to build his master’s Divine Nation.
Afterwards, he would swear on his words. Taking it a step further for Qin Yu to believe him, all he needed to do was kneel and bow…hold on.
It was a pity that he did not even have a chance to say his first sentence. There was no need for the latter half of his words too.
Qin Yu cut him off mid-sentence and smiled, “You are coming with me.”
The chicken overlord’s eyes turned blood red and he was rooted to his spot. Qin Yu calmly said, “Since when did your ears go bad? How improper of you to take in some instructions and not others. You had better pay attention when you are by my side in the future. You will be punished. Anyway you already know that I am someone who is very clear with rewards and punishments.”
He leaned forward slightly and wore a warm smile, “I will repeat myself. You are coming with me, so you don’t need to feel reluctant.”
This shouldn’t be. It shouldn’t be like that? Why did things change?
I clearly showed how important I was to the building of the Divine Nation.
All the juniors, including Soaring Sky, were so clumsy. Didn’t Qin Yu know how important the Divine Nation is? How could he leave such an important task to them?
Holy Light Saint scanned the four people but he found that they were very calm, acting as if everything was expected.
So, did it mean…these brats knew this already? He had been tricked!
Thud –
The chicken overlord dropped to the ground. Tears finally fell from his eyes.
The group of four wore a look of pity and they could not help feeling contempt. The chicken overlord was strong but his brain was useless.
The more you showed your importance to the Divine Nation, the more Mister Ninth would not allow you to stay here. Otherwise, there would be complications with the owners.h.i.+p of the eventual Divine Nation.
It is such simple logic that even we understand. You are so foolish, you make us feel sad for you!
“Farewell Mister Ninth!”
Qin Yu waved one hand while he carried chicken overlord in the other. He cawed and screamed as Qin Yu took to the skies.
