Group chat of all heavens: My superpowers are too despicable

Chapter 298 The Gate to Another World, Trial of Divine Weapons
The world of Dream of the Red Chamber.

"Dong dong dong..."

A rumbling sound suddenly came from the sky, and the people of the capital looked curiously toward the source of the sound.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the sky outside the capital.

As the sound grew louder, the crack widened until it finally split open completely, revealing a giant gate emerging from it.

This commotion immediately caused considerable panic.

However, the next moment, several groups of people appeared in various parts of the capital. They expressionlessly dispersed the surrounding crowds and brought in all sorts of items.

Tables, chairs, and various office items.

The crowd was somewhat confused.

What exactly happened?
This sudden change, isn't it an unknown enemy coming?
Why are the government officials so calm?
Could it be?

The people in the capital remembered the origins of the Great Zhao Dynasty and suddenly realized the truth.

Their Great Zhao is a celestial dynasty.

Their emperor is a god among gods.

Heaven has shown its favor.

These developments are likely related to the imperial court.

……

"Make way, make way, irrelevant people leave immediately."

"This is a gateway to another world, a portal connecting to another Great Zhao. There is no need to panic."

The government officials, holding wooden megaphones, addressed the crowd.

To alleviate the panic among the crowd and to disperse them, so that the crowd doesn't crowd around and disrupt their work.

"What?"

"Another Zhao?"

"Oh right, I remember now. Our Great Zhao comes from another world. It was His Majesty who used his divine power to send the heavenly soldiers and generals to this world."

"This portal actually leads to another Great Zhao. I wonder if we can go to that Great Zhao? To be honest, I really long for that Great Zhao. After all, His Majesty has been reforming that Great Zhao for a longer time, so it must be better."

"I don't know, perhaps only government officials can go to another world."

"Why don't we go and ask them? The people in our Great Zhao government are quite easy to talk to."

Among the onlookers, quite a few people had their own ideas.

Many of them wanted to visit the other Zhao, and during this time, they had learned about the situation of the other Zhao from officials who came from it more than once.

The "Great Zhao" described by the officials was so wonderful.

Everyone has access to books, everyone has food to eat, the elderly have support, the young are cared for, and everyone lives a carefree life—a world that only existed in the ideals of ancient sages.

How could they not yearn for it?

Most importantly, the officials of the Great Zhao were indeed very easy to talk to.

Unlike the officials of the previous dynasty, who were all so arrogant that if you even got close enough to say a word, you would be dragged away and beaten by their lackeys, because these lowly people would offend the officials' eyes.

This is a capital crime.

They should be grateful that the officials didn't kill them.

However, the officials of the Great Zhao did not have this problem at all.

In some ways, they are even more like ordinary people than ordinary people like them.

He once saw a high-ranking official from Zhao, dressed in tattered clothes, skin and bones, with messy, dirty hair and big dark circles under his eyes.

However, this seemingly dirty official was actually a high-ranking official of extremely high rank.

They are no different from ordinary people.

They are very easy to talk to, just like neighbors, friends, elders, and juniors.

The younger people will even greet them and call them "Grandpa".

This was something they had never imagined.

Is this still the same corrupt official who rides on their heads and does whatever he wants?
It feels so unfamiliar.

And all of this comes from their emperor.

That god-like emperor.

……

A few braver individuals mustered up the courage to go up and ask them.

Soon, they got the answer they wanted.

This gateway to the world is open to all citizens of the Great Zhao.

This was originally established after discussions within the imperial court.

It will allow for better communication and resource flow between the two worlds. However, the specific opening date still needs to be awaited.

Currently, they plan to build three gateways to the world, located in Beijing, Jiangnan, and Lingnan respectively.

Through the interaction between the two worlds, Ao Yunxi gained control of this world more easily.

To mold this world into her shape—that was the purpose behind her painstaking creation of the interdimensional portal.

……

"Captain, I want to sign up."

“I am willing to do anything for Your Majesty.”

In the military camp, a young-looking soldier approached the captain and spoke with a resolute expression.

"You should think this through carefully. That divine weapon is not something an ordinary person can make."

"The process of becoming a divine weapon requires enduring pain that ordinary people cannot bear; being reduced to ashes is not an exaggeration."

The captain recognized the soldier; he was a new recruit who had only been in the army for half a year and was very young.

However, this soldier's experience was very difficult and tragic.

He lost his father at a young age, and then his mother due to natural disasters and man-made calamities in the previous dynasty. He fled to the south by begging all the way, and was later rescued by the Zhao family who were in charge of disaster relief.

His later experiences did not improve as he grew up; in fact, they became even worse.

His wife died after giving birth to a son due to complications during childbirth.

His son still had a chronic illness. In order to raise his son and cure his illness, he resolutely joined the army. After many battles, he earned a lot of military merits and cured his son.

Once he accumulates a few more years of military merit, he can return to the rear and live a good life in the future.

However, the captain never expected that this young soldier would actually choose to sign up for the Divine Weapon Trial.

Go crazy.

Do you know what the Divine Weapon Trial is about?

The trials of divine weapons are extremely harsh. In addition to requiring absolute loyalty to His Majesty, one must also endure pain that ordinary people cannot comprehend in order to become an immortal divine weapon.

Immortal, possessing divine power.

However, the price is that once one becomes a divine weapon, one can no longer regain human form.

That suit of armor was forged from metal; it wasn't clothing, so it couldn't be taken off.

"Captain, I know."

"I just want to give it one more shot for him."

The soldier said indifferently.

"does it worth?"

"It's worth it, because I'm his father."

"Captain, I've looked into it."

“By signing up for the Divine Weapon Trial, whether I succeed or not, my son’s future will be guaranteed. He will be raised by a special person, and after he comes of age, he will be granted a title. The imperial court will take care of everything for him after that.”

"Most importantly, he will no longer be a child without a mother."

"The merit I gained from signing up for the trial is enough for me to resurrect my wife."

The soldier said calmly.

"So what? A child without a mother is replaced with a child without a father?"

"The captain said angrily."

"Yes, but he has seen me."

He has never met his mother.

"you……"

The captain pointed at the young soldier and remained silent for a long time.

"Do you know that if you participate in the Divine Weapon Trial, regardless of whether you succeed or not, you will never be able to return to human form?"

They either die, or they are reborn in the furnace of heaven and earth, becoming divine soldiers who can never take off their armor for all eternity.

"I know."

"Ugh……"

The captain returned to his desk with a heavy heart and wrote the young soldier's name on the registration form.

The application form listed the names of many other people besides the young soldiers.

The difference is that those who signed up were all homeless, without any attachments, and all alone.

This young soldier, however, was different from the others.
