The Old Gods

Chapter 992 Are you worthy?
"Yeah yeah!!"

The Fire Goddess seemed to have lost her composure, and her solemn and dignified demeanor vanished, replaced by an extremely piercing scream.

There was anger, there was resentment.

She clearly sensed that the Chaotic Orb was nearby! The orb only needed a little spell to break the stalemate.

However, the Chaotic Beads did not respond to their master.

This is absolutely intolerable!
The Fire Goddess is the supreme being in the Indian subcontinent.

The masses prostrated themselves at her feet, and even the vast majority of her colleagues had to lower their noble heads before her.

Of course, one should obey orders even for a mere magical artifact!

For some reason, the Mad Pearl was determined to defy the imperial decree and even took the initiative to sever its connection with its master.

It was as if they were afraid of getting even the slightest connection with her, lest it bring about their own demise.

This is truly a disgrace!
"Release me." The Fire Goddess stared intently at the human youth through the holes in the chains. "Run towards your destined path, and I will grant you liberation."

"Heh." Lu Ran let out a cold laugh.

What is our destined fate?
Grant me liberation?
You are so noble, even on your deathbed you stand on a high altar, uttering such laughable words.

There was a crisp sound of "pop".

Yan Shuangzi appeared with her team, standing behind the Fire Goddess. She grabbed the woman's head, which was wrapped in chains, and pulled her face up with one hand.

Fire Goddess: !!!

This movement feels so familiar.

This time, however, it was Yan Shuangzi who held the Fire Goddess's head, her lips close to the deity's ear, each word filled with ferocity:

"You too?"

The Fire Goddess's eyes were wide open, as if they were about to jump out of their sockets.

Yan Shuangzi pulled out the Demon-Binding Lock, wrapped it around the Fire Goddess's neck, and twisted it fiercely!
She had never been to India, nor did she care about the Fire Goddess's illustrious status or supreme position.

No matter which region you come from, or which civilization you rely on to survive as a god or demon, do you dare to come to the Great Xia?
Then we have to follow his rules!
Whether he can cast spells, whether someone lives or dies, including whether their soul is imprisoned, tortured, or transformed into nourishment after death—all of this is up to him!

"Gala gala~"

He Yingcai inserted her fingertips into the holes of the chain, pressing them against the stone body of the Fire Goddess, ready to release the red thread.

Qiao Wanjun watched this scene from afar and felt that the dying god was so tragic.

For the sake of the overall situation, Qiao Wanjun had been pestering the Fire Goddess.

No excessive strategies are needed.

She only uttered two disrespectful words, yet she incurred the wrath of the gods, who were determined to punish her.

The Fire Goddess was supposed to join forces with the other gods and demons, but the battle was thus divided.

Upon closer reflection, this does indeed align with the Fire Goddess's consistent behavior.

When Yan Shuangzi attempted to steal the treasure, the Fire Goddess immediately launched a pursuit to kill her.

As a misty drizzle filled the battlefield, attempting to replace the intense heat of the flames, the Fire Goddess directly targeted Hua Qingying, crushing her body.

Clearly, the Fire Goddess from India is not to be trifled with.

Not even a tiny bit!

Looking at the stubborn Fire Goddess, Qiao Wanjun suddenly remembered Jian Yi's words:
"What about 230,000 years from now?"

"What about 230 million years from now?"

Will Lu Ran and his soldiers become like the gods and demons?

For countless years, the Burning Gate was always a sea of ​​clouds that enveloped the heavens and the earth. Wherever one looked, there were only respectful and obedient beings, and no other voice could be heard.
Will the soldiers gradually become stubborn, arrogant, and self-important, forever immersed in their own way of thinking, and stubbornly refusing to see the truth?
"Uh." Lu Ran canceled the Divine Weapon Domain, and his body swayed.

Qiao Wanjun snapped out of her daze and reached out to support his arm.

Lu Ran turned his head and saw the woman's veiled face, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

This was the first time he had fought alongside his mother.

I hope I didn't disappoint her.

"You did very well." Qiao Wanjun seemed to be able to see through the young man's thoughts, and her eyes softened a little.

Lu Ran nodded silently, looking at the battle group two kilometers away. He was indeed the most crucial factor in this war.

He was the one who determined the course of the battle, and more importantly, the one who laid the foundation for victory.

They rewrote the rules of this world, and on this basis, the warriors of the Burning Gate were able to wreak havoc and defeat these powerful gods who could destroy the world.

The support role, of course, also has its own dazzling brilliance.

However, the more domineering he was when he rewrote the rules, the weaker he became now.

Depleted and weak, with limbs limp and powerless, like a lump of mud that couldn't be propped up, she was gently supported by her mother.
Yeah, it's a little embarrassing.

"Ahhhhh!!"

Two or three kilometers away, came the shrill screams of the Fire Goddess as she struggled in her death throes.

The defeat and demise of the first-class gods of India is a foregone conclusion.

This unprecedented team battle is nearing its end.

Previously, when a group of gods and demons came to demand an explanation, they were so arrogant.

Their power was immense, enough to terrify anyone who saw them.

Martial male lead, Yin Hua Dan (female lead), Jade-faced Snake, A Sha, Tian Luan, Paper Luan, Melting Bear, Dragon Carp.
In addition, there was a visitor from India, the Fire Goddess.

The gate held firm!
The soldiers cooperated closely, divided the battlefield, and fought bravely and relentlessly to kill the invading enemy.

The male martial arts actor's body was shattered by Si Xianxian; the female lead's body was reduced to ashes by Deng Yuxiang.

Asha was blasted to pieces by Huangfu Zhao; Zhi Luan was detonated by Leng Tianxing's star-like attacks; and Long Li was whipped to pieces by Yin Yan.

Of course, this refers to the soldier who gets the final kill.

In the vast majority of battle groups, the destruction of gods and demons involved a large number of Burning Gate warriors.

Looking across the entire battlefield now, only three gods and demons remain alive.

First is the Melting Bear.

But it is not far from death, and is being ravaged by the giant elephant and the white tiger.

Second is the Heavenly Phoenix.

But it seemed to have lost the will to resist, flapping its wings and hovering under the dark clouds, letting out mournful cries. It seemed unable to accept this outcome.

It also seemed like panic and confusion, not knowing where to go or what to do.

In fact, Tianluan still has places to go. The Northwest forces, led by Qiangxiu-Xieqiangdi, still have a large army and many generals, and they dominate the region.

The last surviving god or demon on the battlefield was the Jade-Faced Serpent!

Not only was it alive, but it was also tightly entangled with the giant python that Bai Rao had transformed into, and the battle remained undecided.

From the very beginning of the battle, the two giant pythons were already entangled together, tumbling from the sky to the ground, and then fighting their way back up to the sky.

It's hard to tell.

"Ranran." Qiao Wanjun gazed at the distant sky. Under the dim light, two ancient ferocious beasts shone with a bright white light, dazzling and eye-catching.

"You say?"

"Don't rush to help; it will only increase casualties," Qiao Wanjun advised softly. "Maintain the status quo and let the two pythons continue to entangle and consume their energy."

"Okay." Lu Ran nodded emphatically.

Since the start of the battle, the two giant pythons have maintained their size, which means their energy consumption is quite astonishing.

They are identical in structure and use the same moves, unable to break through each other's defenses or escape each other's entanglement.

time,

Eventually, both sides will be exhausted.

All you need to do is step in and reap the rewards at the last moment.

That said, as a first-class god, the Jade-Faced Serpent possesses three ultimate skills.

When the Jade-Faced Serpent was in the Jiang realm, it was equipped with the transformation skill "White-Scaled Celestial Python"; when it was in the Hai realm, it gained the new skill "Celestial Python Devouring the Heavens," which allows it to devour all things.

The Jade-Faced Serpent minions of the Heavenly Realm are equipped with the ultimate move—Shedding Skin and Rebirth!
Once this method is activated, the white scales covering the giant python's body will emit a dazzling white light, the old skin will fall off, and the newly grown scales will shine even more brightly.

As the python sheds its old skin, it clears away all its negative statuses and restores its life and strength.

With multiple effects including purification, healing, and restoration of physical strength, it can be described as a rather remarkable evil technique.

However, he could not regain his divine power.

This sealed the fate of both sides.

Lu Ran immediately dispatched his soldiers to besiege Tianluan and Rongxiong, and also directly ordered Wu Xiao and Luo Ying to devour the corresponding divine souls.

He then transferred Yu Changsheng from the Nüying Divine Mountain to devour the dragon carp's soul.

As he issued orders, Lu Ran also picked up the Rebirth Coins and quickly moved around the battlefield, concealing his divine soul.

When he went to Youhuang Ferry last time, Lord Wangquan gave him a string of five coins for rebirth.

It came in handy here, though.

“No Heavenly General.” Lu Ran’s voice was low and deep in the thick fog.

"Young Master." Wuya knelt on one knee, his eyes involuntarily shifting towards Lu Ran. "I implore you, Young Master, to summon a Soul-Hooking Mirror or a Soul Prison so that I may bid farewell to my brothers."

Wuya lowered his head, his already soft voice growing even softer: "Say goodbye to Sect Leader Qiao."

Looking at the still respectful soldiers, Lu Ran felt a pang of unease: "I thought Wu Tian would blame me and the Ran Clan."

Wuya was naturally unaware that the Immortal Sheep could resurrect the dead.

From Wuya's perspective, he should be no different from those dead gods and demons, whose souls would become nourishment.

Or perhaps they could become stepping stones for the next Burning Gate warrior, contributing the dual divine positions of Nuo Sha-Xi Mian.

To this day, Lu Ran has seen too many dead souls, and most of them were completely emotionally broken.

Crying and shouting.

They lingered in this world, pleading bitterly.

I never expected Wuya to react this way.

"Hehe." Wuya lowered his head and chuckled.

He has fought for half his life, and his comrades-in-arms have died one by one. Now...
It's just my turn now.

Wuya had no idea whether the deaths of his comrades were also taking away a part of his heart.

The once proud disciple of the Cloud Sea Sect gradually changed his mindset, learning to bow down to the gods and to eke out a living under the power of the martial monks.

He repeatedly acknowledged his lowliness, acting humbly and obediently according to the will of the martial monk.

They became the very thing they despised.

So when Huangfu Zhao brought Qiao Zongzhu's son to their door, Wuya was wrapped in a thick shell.

He followed the young master away.

After all, this is Qiao Wanjun's child. Since it was the young master who spoke up, how could he refuse?
But Wuya became like a hedgehog, covered in sharp quills and speaking with hidden barbs.

He was afraid that his old friends would get too close, and even more worried that the son of an old friend would get too close, see through his exterior, and see the ugly heart that had changed.

it's good now.

Everything is fine.

Wuya lowered his head and smiled, his smile full of relief.

He died on the battlefield!

Having died for the foundation of the Burning Gate and for the faith of the Cloud Sea Sect, I can now face my old friends with a clear conscience.

Finally, I can face Sect Leader Qiao.
"Let's skip the farewell." A deep voice reached my ears.

Wuya looked bewildered, his eyes widening slightly. As a deity in life, his soul was naturally enormous, and his huge eyes were extremely oppressive.

Is this last wish too much to ask?
"We can catch up when we have some free time later." Under the gaze of the divine soul, Lu Ran remained unmoved. "I will protect you and ensure that you continue to exist."

"Whoo~"

Wuya felt an even stronger suction force coming from him.

Lu Ran picked up the string of coins with one hand and placed the other hand in front of the copper coins, feeling the divine soul flowing through his fingers.

Soon, Wuya found himself in a void, floating there blankly for a long time without making a sound.

Just now, as the ancient bronze coins poured in, he faintly heard the young master's murmured words:
"In the future, I will bring you back from the realm of the dead and return you to the world of the living."
