In the 272nd year of Daqing, you have been wandering through villages, countryside, and even cities.
You've seen no fewer than twenty gods. Some were a little white snake, some were boys born with six fingers, some were complete liars, and one was a fat pig weighing a thousand pounds.
There are only three human gods with martial prowess, and they're all third-rate or second-rate, none of them comparable to the monkey monster who came to them last year.
[You also encountered some of the monsters the locals talked about, but when you got there, you discovered they were just strange creatures like the Fish King or the Tiger King. In some villages, the monsters they talked about actually happened to be the gods worshipped by another village.]
Your fame has spread throughout the neighborhood, but those outsiders don't know you as the "Sea Boat God." Instead, they call you "Great Master," viewing you as a "wild warrior" with no one to serve.
[You don't think the Blood Essence Fusion Technique is that scary. You don't kill people casually these days. You wouldn't just kill anyone you see.]
Then you challenge the renowned great swordsman Zhan Pingye, whose martial arts skills surpass those of many gods. He is said to have slain seventy-seven demons and can slash with sword energy. You fight him.
[After you fought him, you discovered he was just a first-rate warrior. You accidentally struck him with all your strength, unable to hold back, and killed him. You then accidentally devoured all of his blood essence, and his body instantly dried up.]
[You didn't do it on purpose, it just happened to happen.]
Yun Shou: "…"
It has definitely changed!
He had challenged others in previous simulations, but he had never killed anyone!
You have become bad, Lao Yun!
You killed the great swordsman with a single blow. His disciples angrily rushed forward to fight you to the death. You slashed them one by one, and blood flowed like a river.
Finally, you were so enthralled with killing that you saw the Great Swordsman's wife and daughter embracing each other in fear. You thought to yourself that the Great Swordsman's enemies would surely seek revenge after his death and humiliate his wife and daughter. It would be better to send them directly to the Great Swordsman to avoid humiliation.
"I'm such a good person!"
After word of your methods of exterminating your entire clan spread, your reputation changed. Some people began calling you the "Blood Giant." Your stature of 1.75 meters is astonishing. The average height of men here is only 1.38 meters, so anyone who reaches 1.5 meters is considered tall.
[The Great Swordsman has a very wide network of contacts.]
[For the next month, if you frequently walk along the roadside, an NPC will spawn saying, "I admire the Great Swordsman. You must have killed him using despicable means. I want to avenge the Great Swordsman."]
[You killed them for a month before their spawn rate dropped. You were a little disappointed. The newbie bonus period was over and the drop rate dropped.]
Your notoriety spread far and wide. In some places, rumors say you have three heads, nine faces, twelve arms and legs, and that you eat five women's hearts, ten babies' arms, and twenty men's penises for every meal.
[You don't bother with the first part, but you really can't stand the last part.]
You go around asking people what they think of you. Any mention of "twenty penises" will be chopped into pieces with a knife. But you're too tall, like a red-crowned crane among chickens. Your nickname "Blood Giant" is well-deserved, and everyone avoids you wherever you go.
One day, a "side-door god" appeared before you. He bluntly pointed out that you had gone too far, killing too many people, and that you must be killed by the god and sent to the cycle of reincarnation in the underworld.
[At this moment, you are 17 years old, your foundation has increased by 247%, your aptitude has increased by 1.79 times, and your muscles and bones can already emit the sound of tigers and leopards thundering (your muscle and bone coordination has not increased much, the increase in sound is due to the aptitude bonus). Under Grandmaster, you are absolutely invincible.]
The "unconventional deity" is a bald monk, known as the "Faceless God." He claims to be a reincarnated deity from heaven, having had no specific facial features since childhood.
He performed a bit.
[You will then realize that this so-called "no specific facial features" is just a rich facial expression, capable of making all kinds of outrageous expressions, rather than a disguise.]
[So frustrating.]
After displaying various abstract expressions, the Wu Xiang God attacked with an angry expression, his entire body enveloped by a thick, bronze energy that seemed to be a solid object. His martial arts skills were surprisingly at the level of a martial artist.
He struck you with his bare palms, and you, of course, drew your sword. Wu Xiang Shen, extremely confident in his palms, which were harder than steel, was then slashed by your sword, sending him flying dozens of meters, crashing to the ground and raising a cloud of dust.
Wu Xiang Shen's expression changed, revealing a look of shock and anger. He looked at his palms. These palms, which he was so proud of, were not only cut open, but also had deep scars on the palm bones.
[And what's even more terrifying is: your sword strike seemed to possess some kind of divine and demonic power. While severing his palms, it also absorbed his life force, decaying a small piece of flesh and blood from his palms. With just one strike, you've destroyed half of his fighting power!]
Wu Xiang Shen suddenly thought of something and shouted in terror, "Great Devil God!" Then, without caring about the battle, he turned and ran, his expression showing extreme fear and panic.
[It's so hard to come across a martial artist-level resource... No, it's so hard to have a martial artist-level expert challenge you. It's a perfect match. This is a battle that will be of great help to you. How can you let him escape?]
You used your Qing Gong skills to catch up in half a minute, slashing Wu Xiang Shen's back with your sword. Blood and broken bones splattered everywhere, and he was like being hit by a cannonball. A huge crater in the ground was carved in the shape of a human, and it bore his terrified expression.
"No... Impossible! The Great Devil God of Destruction clearly... clearly won't descend for another two hundred years!" The Formless God, unwilling to give in, lies on the ground and utters these last words. You laugh in your heart.
[A person who pretends to be a god in human form actually believes that ridiculous myth? Six hundred years later, the Great Devil God of Destruction, do you want to see if your formless god is real or fake?]
[Martial Master-level warriors are incredibly tough. You struck twice in a row, and the radiating energy tore a two-foot-deep crack in the loess ground before you chopped off the head of this Formless God.]
[Your aptitude has improved again, and you feel that the upper limit of your muscles and bones has been raised again.]
Half a month later, you were once again blocked by a deity. This time, it was only a "registered deity," with a low level of martial arts cultivation, barely second-rate, not even as good as your left protector, "Mu Jian."
[Seeing such a weak god, you finally understand why Monkey Monster, a "no-name god," dared to challenge you, the legitimate "registered god - Sea Boat God." It turns out that many of the registered gods' mortal incarnations are not very powerful.]
You casually cut off his legs, and just as you were about to strike him again, this "Zhu Ming Shen" begged for mercy, saying that he was only here to fight you because someone else had asked him to.
[What?! There's more food to come!?]
You're overjoyed, determined to take all the supplies... ahem, no, you're going to kill all your enemies. You're a good person, never targeting innocent people, but it's a different story for your enemies.
If you don't kill them, will you let them kill you?
