Chapter 302 Awakening Numerous Chinese Gods!
The old man fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, dying with his eyes still open.
Su Fan sheathed his sword and looked at the corpse.
"Second level of the Dao Realm, that's all?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he swayed and almost fell over.
Emperor Gouchen rushed up to support him.
"Kid, are you alright?"
Su Fan's face was deathly pale, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth again.
"It's nothing. It's just that I was too exhausted."
He looked down at the Zhuxian Sword in his hand.
This sword is too powerful; it's so powerful that it can kill someone at the second level of the Dao Realm with a single strike.
But the cost is also high.
Those two sword strikes just now drained most of the power from his body.
If the old man had held out for two more moves, he would have been the one to die.
Emperor Gouchen also realized it.
"This sword is powerful, but it consumes too much energy. At your current level, you can only unleash three strikes at most."
Su Fan nodded.
"Three swords are enough. To kill him, only two swords will suffice."
Emperor Gouchen laughed.
"Okay. You're awesome."
He looked into the distance.
"Go back now?"
Su Fan thought for a moment.
"No rush. Let's find a place to recover first."
……
three days later.
Wanjian Pavilion.
Su Fan sat in the main hall, his complexion having returned to normal.
Sitting next to him were Emperor Gouchen, Jian Wudi, and Kong Xuan.
Lin Qingge stood behind him, her hand on his shoulder.
Jian Wudi spoke.
"Su Fan, is that old monster really dead?"
Su Fan nodded.
"He's dead. His body is still outside Tianxu."
Jian Wudi gasped.
"That was a Dao Realm Level Two cultivator! An old monster who had been in seclusion for five thousand years! You just killed him like that?"
Su Fan smiled.
"What else? Keep it for the New Year?"
Sword Invincible remained silent.
He looked at Su Fan with a complicated expression.
What kind of monster is this kid?
Mid-stage Saint, second level of the Killing Dao Realm.
Who would believe that if I told them?
Kong Xuan also fell silent.
He had lived for tens of thousands of years, and this was the first time he had ever seen such a scene.
The live stream chat was flooded with comments.
"Boss is awesome!!!"
"Second-level Dao Realm cultivator, killed without hesitation!"
"That old monster was completely bewildered before he died!"
"The Immortal Execution Sword is too powerful!"
"Even the Primordial Celestial Venerable has appeared! Boss is defying the heavens!"
Su Fan glanced at the comments but didn't say anything.
He looked at Kong Xuan.
"What's the current situation at the Demon Clan's Holy Land?"
Kong Xuan came to his senses.
"Reporting to the Cave Master, the Demon Clan's Holy Land is in complete chaos."
"All seven elders are dead, and that old monster is dead too. Now the Holy Land is leaderless, and various forces are vying for power."
Su Fan raised an eyebrow.
"A power struggle?"
Kong Xuan nodded.
"Yes. Beneath the sacred land of the demon race, there are still many smaller forces. The leaders of those forces all want to take the opportunity to rise to power."
Su Fan smiled.
"Then let them fight it out."
He stood up.
"I'll go over after they've reached a conclusion."
Jian Wudi was taken aback.
"Aren't you going now?"
Su Fan shook his head.
"No rush. Let them fight amongst themselves first. Once they've fought enough, I'll go over and wipe them out in one fell swoop."
Jian Wudi gasped.
"Are you trying to destroy the sacred land of the demon race?"
Su Fan looked at him.
"What, it's not allowed?"
Jian Wudi swallowed hard.
"Fine. You decide."
……
A month later.
The sacred land of the demon race.
A dozen or so people were sitting in a magnificent, golden hall.
They were all leaders of various demon factions, and their cultivation levels were all at the Hunyuan Realm.
At the very top sat a burly man with a tiger's head and a human body.
He is the patriarch of the Tiger Clan, at the peak of the Hunyuan realm, and currently the most powerful.
Below, a man with a snake's head and a human body spoke.
"Hu Lie, what makes you think you deserve that position?"
Hu Lie looked at him.
"Why should I? Because I have the bigger fist."
The snake-like man sneered.
"Big fists? Why didn't you dare speak up when that old monster was around?"
Hu Lie's face turned cold.
"Snake Seven, do you want to die?"
Snake Seven stood up.
"Looking for death? Who's going to die today is still uncertain."
He waved his hand, and several people behind him stood up.
Hu Lie also stood up.
The atmosphere in the main hall was tense, with swords drawn.
Just then, a loud bang came from outside.
boom--!!!
The doors to the main hall were blasted open.
As the smoke cleared, a figure walked in.
Su Fan.
Behind him followed Emperor Gouchen, Jian Wudi, Kong Xuan, and hundreds of disciples from the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion and the Ten Thousand Demon Cave.
Hu Lie's expression changed drastically.
"Su Fan?!"
Su Fan looked at him.
"Do you know me?"
Hu Lie took a step back.
"What...what do you want to do?"
Su Fan smiled.
"What are you doing here? Collecting debts."
He walked up to Hu Lie.
"The sacred land of the demon race has sent people to kill me three times. This debt should be settled today."
Hu Lie's face turned deathly pale.
"That's the former Grand Elder's business, it has nothing to do with us..."
Su Fan looked at him.
"Irrelevant?"
He unleashed a sword strike.
Hu Lie's head flew off, and blood gushed out.
The body fell to the ground.
The entire room fell silent.
Those dozen or so leaders were all dumbfounded.
Su Fan sheathed his sword and looked at them.
"And you? Do you want to live, or die?"
More than a dozen people knelt on the ground.
"I want to live! I want to live!"
Su Fan nodded.
"Those who want to live, join the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion in the future. Any objections?"
"No objections! No objections!"
Su Fan turned around and walked out of the main hall.
……
The sacred land of the demon race has been destroyed.
When the news spread, the entire Tianwaitian went crazy.
The Wanfo Sect was absorbed into another organization.
The Ten Thousand Demon Alliance was destroyed.
The Demon Cave has submitted.
The sacred land of the demon race was also destroyed.
Now, in the entire Outer Heaven, only one force is in charge.
Wanjian Pavilion.
Behind the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion is Su Fan.
That young man from Earth.
Mid-stage of the Sage's life.
Killing a chicken is as easy as killing a second-level cultivator.
……
Wanjian Pavilion.
Su Fan sat in the main hall, with a pile of things in front of him.
They were all collected from the treasure vault of the demon race's sacred land.
Jian Wudi stood to the side, his eyes wide with disbelief.
"Su Fan, have you emptied out the entire sacred land of the demon race?"
Su Fan nodded.
"almost."
He picked up a fist-sized rock and looked at it.
The Five-Colored Divine Stone is similar to the one from the Ten Thousand Demon Alliance.
Then he picked up a feather, its five colors swirling around it.
The Five-Colored Divine Feathers are similar to those of the Myriad Demon Alliance.
There are also a bunch of pills, magical artifacts, and cultivation techniques.
Su Fan sorted and put the items away.
He looked at Jian Wudi.
"Give some of these things to the disciples of the Myriad Swords Pavilion. I'll take the rest back to Blue Star."
Jian Wudi nodded.
"it is good."
Su Fan stood up.
"Get ready. We'll return to Earth in three days."
……
three days later.
In front of the teleportation array.
It was packed with people.
Su Fan, Lin Qingge, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Tang Sanzang, Yuan Qingsheng, Ma Tao, Zhao Dabao, and the twenty Divine Guardians.
Emperor Gouchen stood to the side.
Jian Wudi and Kong Xuan also came to see him off.
Jian Wudi looked at Su Fan.
"Su Fan, are you really going back?"
Su Fan nodded.
"Go back and take a look. Come back in a while."
Jian Wudi sighed.
"Alright. I'll keep an eye on the Myriad Swords Pavilion for you."
Su Fan smiled.
Thanks.
He looked at Emperor Gouchen.
"Senior, will you come back with me?"
Emperor Gouchen thought for a moment.
"Let's go back. I also want to see what Blue Star has become."
Su Fan nodded.
"it is good."
He raised his hand, and the golden light of the Investiture of the Gods surged into the teleportation array.
The portal opened.
On the other side of the light gate, there was the familiar blue sky and white clouds.
Su Fan took a deep breath.
"Walk."
He stepped into the portal of light.
Behind him, a group of people filed in.
……
Blue Star, Mount Tai's Fengshen Platform.
The portal opened, and a group of people walked out.
Lin Qingge took a deep breath.
"I'm back."
Su Fan nodded.
"I'm back."
In the distance, a group of people rushed over.
They are the guardians of the gods and the common people who remain on Earth.
They saw Su Fan and shouted excitedly.
"Su Fan is back!"
"The boss is back!"
"Su Fan is awesome!"
Su Fan smiled.
He looked up at the sky.
The sky on Earth is much bluer than the outer heavens.
He took a deep breath.
It's more comfortable here.
……
night.
The Fengshentai (Investiture Platform) of Mount Tai.
A banquet was set up.
Su Fan sat in the main seat, with Lin Qingge beside him.
Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Tang Sanzang, Yuan Qingsheng, Ma Tao, Zhao Dabao, and the twenty Divine Guardians were all present.
Emperor Gouchen sat on the other side of Su Fan.
After a few rounds of drinks, Su Fan spoke up.
"I have something to take care of when I come back this time."
Everyone looked at him.
Su Fan continued.
"On Earth, there are still many statues of gods scattered abroad."
"I'm going to find them all."
Sun Wukong raised an eyebrow.
"Find it back? Where to look?"
Su Fan thought for a moment.
"Around the world, those who stole the statues of Chinese gods back then should still have them."
He looked at Yuan Qingsheng.
"Mr. Yuan, do you know of any places where they can be found?"
Yuan Qingsheng thought for a moment.
"I know a little. There are several museums in Europe that have a lot of Chinese artifacts in their collections. Among them are statues of deities."
"There are also a few wealthy people in the Americas who specialize in collecting these things."
Su Fan nodded.
"Then let's find them one by one."
He stood up.
"Starting tomorrow, I'm going to travel all over the world."
……
the next day.
Su Fan set off with Emperor Gouchen.
First stop: Europe.
The Louvre Museum in France.
Su Fan stood at the entrance of the museum, looking at the huge glass pyramid.
Emperor Gouchen stood beside him.
"Is this the place?"
Su Fan nodded.
"Yes. It's said that there are many Chinese cultural relics inside."
He went inside.
The museum was bustling with people.
Su Fan walked into the Chinese cultural relics exhibition hall.
The exhibition hall was filled with various bronzes, jades, and porcelains.
In the corner stood three statues.
One of them is the Three Officials Emperor.
One of them is the Longevity Emperor, one of the Four Emperors.
One is the Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation and Responding to the Thunder of the Thunder Department.
Su Fan's eyes lit up.
These are them.
He walked over and placed his hand on the statue.
The three statues of gods were instantly taken into Su Fan's system space.
……
When the news spread, the whole of Europe was in an uproar.
Su Fan took away the Chinese cultural relics from the Louvre.
The French government protested.
Su Fan ignored him.
The next day, he went to the British Museum.
They took away five more statues.
The British government protested.
Su Fan still ignored him.
Day three, in the beautiful country, in a wealthy man's private collection room.
Su Fan put the seven statues into his system space and turned to leave.
The wealthy man lay on the ground, his face bruised and swollen, pointing at Su Fan's back.
"You, you wait! I know the director of the Imperial Guard in the United States! They'll be coming for you!"
Su Fan stopped and looked back at him.
"The Bureau of Divine Intervention?"
The tycoon thought he was scared and quickly nodded.
"That's right! The Divine Control Bureau! There are over a dozen ninth-level experts inside! You're dead!"
Su Fan smiled.
He walked back to the tycoon and looked down at him.
"Do you know where I just came from?"
The tycoon was taken aback.
"where?"
Su Fan said calmly, "The Outer Heavens. I just killed an old monster at the second level of the Dao Realm and destroyed the Demon Clan's holy land."
The tycoon's face turned ashen.
"The Outer Heavens? You...you're Su Fan?!"
Su Fan patted him on the shoulder.
"Have your Divine Bureau come find me. I happen to need a few errand runners."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Emperor Gouchen followed behind him and smiled.
"Kid, you're getting better and better at showing off."
Su Fan smiled too.
"I'm not showing off. I'm telling the truth."
……
three days later.
The Fengshentai (Investiture Platform) of Mount Tai.
Su Fan took out all the statues he had found and placed them on the ground.
There are forty-nine in total.
Including those found previously, there are a total of eighty-one.
Eighty-one statues of Chinese deities are neatly arranged.
Each one emanates a faint spiritual light.
The live stream chat was flooded with comments.
"Holy crap! So many?!"
"Eighty-one statues! Is this an attempt to summon a dragon?"
"Boss, you're awesome! You've brought back all the statues of Chinese deities from around the world!"
"Those museums and wealthy people are probably crying their eyes out in the bathroom."
"Serves them right! Who told them to steal our stuff!"
Su Fan glanced at the comments but didn't say anything.
He walked up to the first statue.
It was a statue of the Three Great Emperors, three zhang tall, with a majestic face.
The base of the statue is inscribed with the words: Heavenly Official Bestows Blessings.
Su Fan raised his hand and placed it on the statue.
Golden light surged in from the Investiture of the Gods.
The statue trembled, and dust fell from its surface.
The golden light grew brighter and brighter.
But the statue did not react.
Su Fan frowned.
He thought for a moment and then took back the Investiture of the Gods.
Then he began to read:
"The highest rank in the Upper Yuan Dynasty, the most honorable official in the heavens."
"To bestow blessings upon humankind, and to preserve life and grant longevity."
"Transformed from the nine energies, a minister of the Purple Palace."
"Great Emperor of Heaven, please reveal your true form."
The statue shook violently as soon as the words were spoken.
A beam of golden light shot out from the statue.
A figure emerged from the golden light.
It was an old man dressed in a red robe, holding a jade tablet, with a smile on his face.
He looked at Su Fan and nodded slightly.
"Thank you, Envoy of the Conferred Gods."
Su Fan bowed respectfully.
"Junior Su Fan greets the Heavenly Emperor."
The Heavenly Emperor smiled.
"No need for formalities. I have been trapped in this statue for countless years. My release today is entirely thanks to the Envoy of the Gods."
He looked around.
"Where is this?"
Su Fan explained.
"Blue Star, Mount Tai's Conferred God Platform."
The Heavenly Official Emperor nodded.
"A good place. I will live here from now on."
Su Fan smiled.
"welcome."
The live stream chat exploded with comments.
"Holy crap! Heaven Official's Emperor!"
"The one who bestowed blessings? Awesome!"
"What incantation is the boss chanting? It rhymes so well!"
"May the Heavenly Official bestow blessings, and may all taboos be lifted!"
Su Fan ignored the comments and walked towards the next statue.
That is the Earthly Official Emperor.
He raised his hand and placed it on the statue, reciting:
"Second rank in the Zhongyuan era, the most prestigious of the Earth Officials."
"To pardon the sins of mankind and relieve calamities."
"Transformed from the nine realms, a minister of pure emptiness."
"Earth Official Emperor, please reveal your true form."
The statue shook.
A beam of golden light shot out.
An old man dressed in a yellow robe walked out.
He looked at Su Fan and nodded in acknowledgment.
"Thank you, Envoy of the Conferred Gods."
Su Fan bowed.
"You're too kind, senior."
Next is the Water Official Emperor.
"The third rank of the Lower Yuan, the most prestigious of the water officials."
"To relieve calamities in the human world and to help those who have transgressed their sins."
"Transformed from the nine rivers, a minister of Yanggu."
"Great Emperor of the Water Official, please reveal your true form."
The statue shook.
An elderly man dressed in a blue robe walked out.
The Three Great Emperors have gathered.
The three of them stood together, looked at each other, and smiled.
The Heavenly Official Emperor spoke.
"Envoy of the Gods, the three of us wish to form a contract with you. Are you willing?"
Su Fan was taken aback.
"Are the three seniors willing to form a contract with me?"
The Earth God Emperor laughed.
"Why wouldn't you? You rescued us and possess the Investiture of the Gods; you are the perfect candidate."
The Water Official Emperor nodded.
"Yes. And you're quite strong, a mid-stage Saint, you're qualified."
Su Fan thought for a moment.
"Okay. Thank you, seniors."
The three nodded.
Three golden beams shot towards Su Fan.
As the golden light entered his body, Su Fan shuddered.
He could feel three enormous forces emerging within his body.
All three emperors were at the peak of the Hunyuan realm.
Including the previous Gouchen Emperor, he now has contracts with four gods at the peak of the Hunyuan realm.
The chat room was buzzing with excitement.
"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!!!"
"The Three Great Emperors have all formed contracts with the Boss!"
"Three peak-stage Hunyuan cultivators!"
"Our boss is invincible now!"
"What do you mean invincible? There's also the Dao Realm."
"Even if you reach the Dao Realm, we're not afraid, Boss has the Immortal Execution Sword!"
Su Fan ignored the comments and walked towards the next statue.
That is the Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation of Thunder from the Thunder Department.
The statue is three zhang tall, holding a thunder hammer, stepping on a thunder drum, and has a majestic face.
Su Fan raised his hand and placed it on the statue.
Golden light surged in from the Investiture of the Gods.
The statue shook.
He began to read:
"The Nine Heavens respond to the Origin, and the sound of thunder spreads far and wide."
"He who controls the calamities of Heaven, and who governs the punishments of all things."
"The Jade Pivot Palace, the Thunderous Office."
"Thunder Lord, please reveal your true form."
The statue shook violently as soon as the words were spoken.
A bolt of purple lightning shot out from the statue.
A figure emerged from the lightning.
It was a middle-aged man dressed in a purple robe, holding a thunder hammer, with lightning swirling around him.
He looked at Su Fan, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
"Envoy of the Gods, your incantation is quite good."
Su Fan bowed respectfully.
"Greetings, Lord Lei."
Lei Zun nodded.
"I have been imprisoned for many years, and I am finally free today. Thank you very much."
He looked around.
"Is this Mount Tai?"
Su Fan nodded.
"right."
Lei Zun smiled.
"A fine place. I once subdued a demon here."
With a wave of his hand, Su Fan summoned the Investiture of the Gods, and the divine image of Lei Zun entered the Investiture of the Gods.
The live stream chat exploded again.
"Thunder Lord! Boss of the Thunder Department!"
"A half-step Dao Realm cultivator! Even stronger than the Three Officials Emperor!"
"Is the boss trying to gather all the Chinese gods?"
"Awesome! Absolutely awesome!"
Su Fan took a deep breath and walked towards the next statue.
That is the Fire Virtue Star Lord of the Fire Department.
The statue is three zhang tall and surrounded by flames.
Su Fan raised his hand and placed it on the statue.
"The element of fire in the south, associated with the planet Mars."
"He governs all things and illuminates the darkness."
"The supreme being of the Fire Department, the essence of the Crimson Emperor."
"Fire God, please reveal your true form."
The statue shook.
A beam of fire shot out.
In the firelight, an old man with red hair emerged.
He looked at Su Fan and smiled.
"Envoy of the Gods, what a powerful incantation."
Su Fan bowed.
"I have met the Fire God."
Fire God nodded.
A beam of fire shot into the Investiture of the Gods.
Next is the Plague Emperor Haotian of the Plague Department.
"The Plague God of the East, a minister of the Green Emperor."
"The master's life and death are in his hands, and so are the disasters and calamities he controls."
"The leader of the Five Plagues, the Supreme Ruler of Haotian."
"Great Emperor of Plague Bamboo, please reveal your true form."
The statue shook.
A beam of blue light shot out.
An elderly man in a green robe stepped out.
He looked at Su Fan with a complicated expression.
"Envoy of the Gods, do you know what I, the Emperor, do?"
Su Fan nodded.
"I know. They are in charge of plagues."
Emperor Plague Bamboo raised an eyebrow.
"Knowing this, you still dare to awaken this emperor?"
Su Fan smiled.
"The elders are in charge of plagues, but also of curing diseases. Good and evil are separated by a single thought, and it all depends on one's own heart."
Emperor Plague Bamboo was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"What a fine line between good and evil! I am convinced."
A beam of blue light shot into the Investiture of the Gods.
Peak of Hunyuan.
Another one.
Next is Doumu Yuanjun of the Dou clan.
"Doumu Yuanjun, the mother of the Big Dipper."
"Born of the Nine Emperors, the master of all things."
"Mrs. Ziguang, Moli Zhitian."
"By the Supreme Goddess, please reveal your true form."
The statue shook.
A beam of golden light shot out.
A kind-looking old woman walked out.
She looked at Su Fan and smiled.
"Envoy of the Gods, you even know about me?"
Su Fan bowed.
"I am an educated person."
Doumu Yuanjun smiled.
A golden light shot into the Investiture of the Gods.
Peak of Hunyuan Realm, half-step into Dao Realm.
Another one.
……
all day.
Su Fan awakened the thirty-seven statues of gods.
The Three Officials, Thunder God, Fire God, Plague God, Doumu Goddess, the remaining two of the Five Sacred Mountains, the Three Mountain Gods, the Four Seas Dragon Kings, the Nine Luminaries, the Twenty-Eight Constellations...
Each one is at least at the early stage of Hunyuan.
The strongest Thunder Lord and Doumu Yuanjun are at the half-step Dao Realm.
In the live stream, the chat was flooded with comments from morning till night.
"Boss is awesome!!!"
"Thirty-seven! All of them are Hunyuan!"
"Are they going to form a legion of gods?"
"How did the boss come up with that spell?"
"What nonsense! Those are praises from mythology!"
"Our leader has studied, but we haven't, so all we can do is shout '666' (a Chinese internet slang for 'awesome')."
Su Fan glanced at the comments and smiled.
He looked at the remaining statues.
There are forty-four more.
To be continued tomorrow.
……
night.
The Fengshentai (Investiture Platform) of Mount Tai.
A banquet was set up.
Su Fan sat in the main seat, with Lin Qingge beside him.
The area was filled with deities.
Emperor Gouchen, Emperor Sanguan, Thunder Lord, Fire God, Plague Emperor, Doumu Yuanjun...
They were all at the Primordial Chaos Realm.
Sun Wukong sat to the side, looked at those big shots, and smiled.
"Su Fan, you've stolen all of my thunder."
Su Fan smiled too.
"Great Sage, you flatter me. You are a senior."
Sun Wukong waved his hand.
"What senior? I, Old Sun, am only at the peak of the Saint realm. Any one of these big shots is stronger than me."
Pigsy came over.
"Monkey King, you've finally met your match."
Sun Wukong glared at him.
"Shut up."
Pigsy shrank his neck.
Everyone laughed.
After several rounds of drinks, Emperor Gouchen spoke.
"Su Fan, what are your plans next?"
Su Fan thought for a moment.
"First, awaken all the remaining statues. Then, select a group of people to form contracts with."
Emperor Gouchen raised an eyebrow.
"Choosing people?"
Su Fan nodded.
"Yes. I can't make contracts with all these gods. I need to select some talented god-controllers to form contracts with."
"Only in this way can the overall strength of Earth be improved."
Emperor Gouchen nodded.
That makes sense.
Lei Zun also spoke.
"The Envoy of Conferring Gods is right. We old folks can't all be entrusted to you alone."
Doumu Yuanjun smiled.
"I, too, wish to find a destined person."
Su Fan looked at them.
"Don't worry, seniors. I will definitely find you a good host."
……
the next day.
The Fengshentai (Investiture Platform) of Mount Tai.
The moment the live stream started, hundreds of millions of people flooded in.
The screen was flooded with comments.
"Here it comes!"
"Should we wake up the rest today?"
"Go, boss!"
"I want to see new gods!"
Su Fan walked up to the first statue.
That was one of the remaining two of the Five Sacred Mountains Emperors, the Hengshan Emperor of the North Sacred Mountain.
He raised his hand and placed it on the statue.
"Mount Heng, the Northern Peak, is the essence of Xuanwu (the Black Tortoise)."
"They control the rivers and lakes, and decide life and death."
"North of the Five Sacred Mountains lies the spirit of Xuanming."
"Great Emperor Hengshan, please reveal your true form."
The statue shook.
A beam of black light shot out.
An old man dressed in a black robe walked out.
He looked at Su Fan and nodded in acknowledgment.
"The Envoy of the Gods"
Su Fan bowed.
"senior."
The Great Emperor of Hengshan looked around and saw the four Great Emperors of the Eastern Peak, Western Peak, Southern Peak, and Central Peak.
He smiled.
"They're all here."
The Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak nodded.
"We've been waiting for you."
The five emperors stood together, looked at each other, and smiled.
Emperor Hengshan looked at Su Fan.
"Envoy of the Gods, I, the Emperor, wish to form a contract with you."
Su Fan shook his head.
"Senior, you are not suitable to form a contract with me."
Emperor Hengshan was taken aback.
Why?
Su Fan explained.
"The Five Great Emperors need to guard the Five Sacred Mountains. I want to find five destined individuals to form contracts with each of you."
"Only in this way can the Five Sacred Mountains regain their former divine power."
Emperor Hengshan thought for a moment and nodded.
"That makes sense. Then I'll be waiting."
Su Fan smiled.
"Don't worry, senior. It will be soon."
He turned around and looked at the live broadcast camera.
"Everyone, the Five Sacred Mountains Emperors need five contractors. The conditions are that they must guard a region year-round and have an affinity with the mountains and rivers."
"Those who meet the requirements can register."
The live chat exploded instantly.
"Holy crap! The Five Great Emperors are recruiting contractors!"
"Me! Me! Me! I grew up at the foot of Mount Tai!"
"I've lived on Mount Hua for thirty years!"
"I was a Taoist priest in Hengshan!"
"Register! How do I register?!"
Su Fan looked at Yuan Qingsheng.
"Mr. Yuan, you'll take responsibility for this."
Yuan Qingsheng nodded.
"it is good."
……
Next, Su Fan continued to awaken the remaining statues.
The second one is one of the Three Mountains Gods, the God of Longhu Mountain.
"In Longhu Mountain, the Supreme One of the Righteous Ones resides."
"Slay demons and monsters, protect the country and its people."
"Three days of teaching and guidance, assisting in the attainment of true understanding."
"True Lord Zhengyi, please reveal your true form."
The statue shook.
A beam of golden light shot out.
A middle-aged Taoist priest holding a long sword stepped out.
He looked at Su Fan and smiled.
"Thank you, Envoy of the Conferred Gods."
Su Fan bowed.
"You're too kind, senior."
The Three Mountains Gods are three in total.
Next up are the Four Dragon Kings of the Seas.
Dragon King of the East Sea.
"The Dragon King of the East Sea, Ao Guang."
"He controls the rains of the four seas, nourishing all things to life."
"The body of an Azure Dragon, the ruler of the Water Palace."
"Dragon King of the East Sea, please reveal your true form."
The statue shook.
A phantom image of a blue dragon soared into the sky and then transformed into a middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe.
He looked at Su Fan and nodded in acknowledgment.
"The Envoy of the Gods"
Su Fan bowed.
"Greetings, Dragon King."
Next are the Dragon King of the West Sea, the Dragon King of the South Sea, and the Dragon King of the North Sea.
All four Dragon Kings were awakened.
Nine Star Lords.
"The Nine Luminaries are the essence of the sun and moon."
"Holding the light of heaven and earth, illuminating people's path forward."
"Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Ketu, Rahu."
"Nine Luminaries, please reveal your true form."
Nine beams of light shot out simultaneously.
The nine star deities appeared together.
The Twenty-Eight Mansions.
"The Twenty-Eight Mansions are the spirits of the heavens."
"Separating the palms of the four directions determines good or bad luck."
"The horns are high and the difang is high, and the heart and tail are fighting."
"Twenty-eight constellations, please reveal your true forms."
Twenty-eight rays of light shot out.
Twenty-eight constellation deities appeared together.
……
A whole day has passed.
Su Fan then awakened forty-four more divine statues.
Including the thirty-seven from yesterday, there are a total of eighty-one.
Eighty-one Chinese deities gathered at the Fengshentai (Investiture of the Gods) on Mount Tai.
Below the Three Pure Ones are the Four Emperors, the Five Elders, the Six Ministers, the Seven Primordial Lords, the Eight Extremes, the Nine Luminaries, the Ten Capitals, the Twenty-Eight Mansions, the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals, and the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends...
They're all on the list.
The chat in the live stream was beyond words.
"My eyes are playing tricks on me..."
"Eighty-one! All of them are Hunyuan!"
"Is this a meeting of the gods?"
"That's spectacular! That's awesome!"
"Is our boss going to unify the Three Realms?"
Su Fan looked at the gods and smiled.
He bowed in greeting.
"Welcome home, esteemed seniors."
The gods all returned the greeting.
"Thank you, Envoy of the Conferment of Gods."
……
night.
The Fengshentai (Investiture Platform) of Mount Tai.
Eighty-one deities gathered together.
Su Fan stood on the stage, looking at them.
"Esteemed seniors, I've invited you here today because there's something I need to discuss."
The gods looked at him.
Su Fan continued.
"You are all Chinese gods, and you need contractors to unleash your true power."
"But I can't form contracts with that many on my own. So, I want to select a group of talented Divine Masters and have them form contracts with you."
The gods nodded.
"Of course."
"The Investiture of the Gods is right."
"I, too, wish to find a destined person."
Su Fan looked at Lei Zun.
"Senior Lei Zun, you are the strongest, a half-step Dao Realm expert. What kind of contractor are you looking for?"
Lei Zun thought for a moment.
"You need to have a good character, high talent, and most importantly, a sense of justice."
Su Fan nodded.
"Understood."
He looked at Doumu Yuanjun.
"Senior Yuanjun, and what about you?"
Doumu Yuanjun smiled.
"I don't care. As long as we're destined to meet."
Su Fan smiled.
"it is good."
He turned around and looked at the live broadcast camera.
"Everyone, starting tomorrow, we will begin the global selection of Godslayers."
"Those with good talent and good character have the opportunity to form a contract with the Chinese gods."
"Specific rules will be announced later."
The live chat exploded instantly.
"Holy crap! A global selection process!"
"I want to sign up!"
"I may not be very talented, but I have a good character!"
"Boss, look at me!"
"Chinese gods, I have arrived!"
……
the next day.
The Fengshentai (Investiture Platform) of Mount Tai.
Crowds of people.
Godslayers from all over the world gathered at Mount Tai.
Some are Chinese, and some are foreigners.
But they all want to form a contract with the Chinese gods.
Su Fan stood on the stage, looking down at the dense crowd below.
At least 100,000 people.
He smiled.
"So many people?"
Yuan Qingsheng stood next to him.
"They all came after watching the live stream. Some were geniuses recommended by various countries, and some came on their own."
Su Fan nodded.
"Let's begin."
The selection process was very simple.
First test your talent, then test your character.
Talent is personally tested by the gods.
Su Fan's character was tested using the Investiture of the Gods.
On the first day, five thousand people were tested.
Only thirty-seven passed.
The next day, eight thousand people were tested.
Forty-two passed.
The third day, the fourth day, the fifth day...
A month later.
One hundred thousand people have been tested.
Only 365 people passed.
This corresponds exactly to the 365 righteous gods on the Investiture of the Gods list.
Su Fan looked at the 365 people and smiled.
"Not too much, not too little, just right."
He looked at the gods.
"Esteemed seniors, let's begin the selection process."
The gods nodded.
Lei Zun was the first to step out.
He looked at the 365 people, his gaze sweeping over them.
Finally, it fell on a young man.
He was a young man in his early twenties, with delicate features and clear eyes.
Lei Zun walked up to him.
"What's your name?"
The young man was stunned.
"My name is Zhang Lei."
Lei Zun nodded.
"Are you willing to form a contract with me?"
Zhang Lei's eyes widened.
"Me?! Me?!"
Lei Zun smiled.
Yes. You.
Zhang Lei was so excited that he was trembling all over.
"Yes! I do!"
Lei Zun raised his hand, and a bolt of purple lightning shot towards Zhang Lei.
As the lightning entered his body, Zhang Lei shuddered.
His aura began to surge.
Early stage of first order.
……
Early stage of the ninth rank.
The entire room fell silent.
Everyone stared wide-eyed.
In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he went directly from a mortal to the early stage of the ninth rank.
What kind of speed is that?!
Zhang Lei was dumbfounded.
"I... I've become a ninth-tier Divine Master?"
Lei Zun smiled.
"What's so special about my contractor being at the early stage of the ninth rank? Cultivate diligently, and you can go even higher in the future."
Zhang Lei knelt down and kowtowed three times.
"Thank you so much, senior!"
Lei Zun waved his hand.
Get up.
The chat room was buzzing with excitement.
"Holy crap! Straight to the early stage of the ninth rank!"
"What kind of godlike speed is that?!"
"Thunder Lord is too powerful!"
"That Zhang Lei, his ancestors' graves are emitting auspicious smoke!"
Su Fan smiled.
He looked at the remaining gods.
"continue."
