In the Wind and Cloud world, at the World Society.
"Hahaha, I thought Xiongba, a generation's hero, was a great enemy of my Peerless City, but I never expected him to believe in gods. What a joke!"
Dugu Yifang, the City Lord of Peerless City, was stunned and incredulous when he saw Xiongba actually kneeling before the altar, performing sacrifices and praying.
He quickly came to his senses and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Xiongba, kneeling and praying before the altar, looked like a clown. Such a person was not worthy of being his enemy.
"Yes, look how devout they are. That so-called God of Primordial Chaos must be very pleased, maybe he'll bestow Xiongba with ten thousand years of cultivation!"
A sarcastic voice rang out, filled with endless mockery.
"What's ten thousand years of cultivation? Maybe he'll just grant Xiongba immortality and make him an immortal or a god!"
Another mocking voice fell.
"Hahaha!"
Everyone burst into an uproar and laughed loudly.
Listening to the wild mockery around them, Qin Shuang and the other members of the World Society turned red with shame and anger. They wanted to rush forward and teach them a lesson.
But Xiongba was still kneeling and praying, not speaking, so they didn't dare to act rashly.
They could only continue to pray along.
"May your divine power be eternal!"
"May your divine fire never extinguish."
"Great God of Primordial Chaos, supreme and holy, the one true God!"
At the end of the prayer, Xiongba's fervent voice, filled with humble supplication and a certain excitement, grew louder and louder.
Finally, it exploded like thunder, echoing through the World Society's training ground.
The people around them were dumbfounded.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that Xiongba had such a fanatical side of believing in gods.
Xiongba had gone mad.
They were absolutely certain in their hearts.
However, at this moment, the altar changed.
Runes seemed to come alive, and endless divine light burst forth from the altar, forming a brilliant pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.
Roar.
Woof.
Moo.
The livestock tied to the altar roared, breaking free from their restraints and soaring into the air. Their bodies grew larger and larger, and their aura became stronger and stronger.
The pig turned into an Earth-Shaking Golden Pig.
The cow turned into a Purple-Eyed Demonic Ox.
The chicken turned into a Fire Phoenix.
The dog turned into a Golden-Haired Divine Dog.
...
Everyone's eyes widened, terrified.
Am I dreaming?
Am I hallucinating?
Ordinary livestock had actually turned into divine beasts.
Terrifying divine power filled every inch of space, making them tremble and shiver.
Some timid martial artists already had yellow liquid appearing between their legs.
They had no doubt that these divine beasts could easily trample them to death.
"What's going on?"
"Are there really gods?"
"Even if there are gods, it doesn't have to be this exaggerated, does it?"
Everyone was shaken.
Terrified.
Afraid.
Facing the fear of the unknown.
Only Xiongba's eyes were fervent and excited. He had seen Murong Fu's sacrificial video, but seeing it in person was still incredibly shocking.
He saw martial arts secret manuals transform into mysterious and profound runes, condensing into a sacred martial arts halo.
The Ice Soul Divine Stone emitted endless divine radiance, as if containing a world of ice and snow.
All the gold, silver, and jewels transformed into divine objects.
And his daughter's figure slowly ascended into the air. Waves of sacred and powerful aura permeated, instantly surpassing him countless times, surpassing even the divine beasts, like a divine maiden from heaven.
"There really are gods!"
"This is a miracle!"
Qin Shuang's mind was greatly shaken. He saw the corpses of Wind and Cloud transform into two towering grand paths, containing the essence of wind and cloud, like the origin of wind and cloud.
That was the Dao.
Rumble!
Thunder exploded in the sky, containing endless heavenly might.
Everyone felt as if they were carrying mountains, their bodies trembling, every cell in fear.
Rumble!
Another clap of thunder echoed, lightning tearing through the sky. A clear sky instantly became covered with dark clouds, and the heavens and earth seemed to tremble in fear, crying and wailing.
It was as if some terrifying existence was about to descend, causing even the emotionless and unconscious 'heaven' to feel fear and dread.
Suddenly.
From the boundless裂缝 (crack) spanning the sky, rays of light shone, and the sun and moon appeared simultaneously.
"The God of Primordial Chaos has arrived!"
Xiongba's body trembled with excitement. Although he didn't see a person, he had this feeling.
Immediately after.
Everyone discovered that what appeared indistinguishable from the sun and moon were actually a pair of eyes.
A pair of eyes that encompassed all things, the universe, and heaven and earth.
Those eyes were calm, seemingly reflecting a kind of benevolence towards all things in heaven and earth, yet also a kind of indifference towards all living beings, high above, cold and emotionless.
It was as if all things in the world were not placed within those eyes, unable to stir up even a ripple of emotion within them.
Like the Dao of Heaven, emotionless, regarding all living beings as mere straw dogs.
This terrifying scene was not only witnessed by the people of the World Society, but also by Peerless City, the Imperial City, and even the entire world.
Everyone was horrified, terrified, and trembling.
In the depths of their minds, a voice seemed to resound.
Surrender.
Surrender brings liberation.
Surrender brings freedom.
Surrender brings salvation.
"Thud!"
"Thud!"
The martial artists who had been standing around watching the show instantly knelt down.
Even Grandmasters like Dugu Yifang were no exception.
Everyone knelt.
Prostrated on the ground.
Terrified.
Uneasy.
So, there really were gods in this world.
"The God of Primordial Chaos has manifested!"
The eyes of the 100,000 members of the World Society were fervent.
Initially, they had followed Xiongba in prayer merely out of fear and obedience to him.
In their hearts, they had never imagined that a god would manifest.
However, everything that happened today overturned their understanding.
It turned out that...
Gods really exist.
It turned out that...
There really are gods in this world.
Their hearts became even more devout.
Their eyes became even more fervent.
Because this god was summoned by their sect leader.
This was the god standing behind them.
With a god backing them, who in the world could contend?
"Greetings to the God of Primordial Chaos, welcome our God's descent!"
Xiongba's body trembled, his excited voice, amplified by internal energy, echoed through heaven and earth, resonating in everyone's hearts.
"Greetings to the God of Primordial Chaos, welcome our God's descent!"
Qin Shuang, Wen Chouchou, and the 100,000 members of the World Society all shouted in unison.
Cheers resounded through heaven and earth.
Excitement ignited the sky.
Their faith surged at this moment.
Nominal believers became ordinary believers.
Ordinary believers became devout believers.
Devout believers, in this fervent atmosphere, became fanatical believers.
The power of faith surged wildly.
The faith channel rapidly expanded.
Hong Meng's majestic figure slowly materialized, initially only a pair of eyes like the sun and moon, then his entire head, his entire body.
But no one could clearly see his appearance.
No one could clearly see how tall he was.
Galaxies flowed through his hair.
Ancient universes were born and destroyed with his every breath.
He was heaven.
He was the Dao.
He was the center of the universe, the master of all living beings.
"Xiongba did well!"
Looking at the 100,000 members of the World Society kneeling and praying with Xiongba, Hong Meng was very satisfied.
To treat believers, one needs to combine both grace and might.
His divine might had already been revealed.
Bestowing them with some divine grace would make their faith even more devout.
Thinking of this, he sprinkled one million points of faith power.
The faith power burned, transforming into holy water that benefited all things.
The holy water descended from the sky, covering all the members of the World Society and countless common people around them, but it deliberately avoided the Martial King's Manor, Dugu Yifang, and other martial artists.
The golden holy water fell, and sacred radiance enveloped heaven and earth.
Everyone immediately felt refreshed and invigorated, their bodies becoming warm, and all their pains disappeared.
Even the listlessness and weakness caused by excessive nightlife vanished.
They became full of vigor and vitality.
Feeling like they could take on ten people in one night.
And these were just the most basic effects.
Countless martial artists broke through their cultivation, and their internal energy surged.
Countless common people who had broken arms and legs regrew them.
The blind regained their sight.
The deaf heard the world's sounds again...
...
