By associating with Nezha, I became the darling of the Chinese gods.

Chapter 119 My Belief Will Never Fall from the Sky!
Looking at Jiang Yu, who was mingling with the Great Wall soldiers in the formation.

As Fan Ling conjured a divine shield to protect the people entering the city from the black-striped giant's fierce attack, he eagerly said:
"Haha, looks like there aren't enough people inside the formation. Su Nan, why don't we go in and sit down for a bit?"

Fan Ling's cheeks flushed with excitement; the passion that had been dormant in her heart for so long was now stirred by a group of ordinary people—

Even they aren't afraid of death, so what does she have to fear?!

As long as we can drive the giants out of the city, we don't care if we die!
"Of course... we have to go in!" Su Nan raised his head from the fighting, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stared at the Great Wall with a determined look in his eyes.

He said he would never retreat, even to the death!

When his divine power is exhausted, and he can no longer protect a single person, nor hold back a black-striped giant—

He then entered the fray!

the other side.

Seeing the endless stream of ordinary people outside the Great Wall, entering the Great Wall like fish into the sea, was a magnificent sight.

30 minutes passed.

From their perspective, the crowds of people who came to the Great Wall to die were still densely packed and stretched as far as the eye could see.

Too much!
Have all these people gone mad?!

Instead of fleeing when disaster is imminent, they risk their lives for a formation with an uncertain outcome!

One of the students from Zone B swallowed hard and hesitated, "Brother Wei, these NPCs are courting death... should we kill them... or stop them?"

The word "kill" that was on the tip of his tongue was forced back by a single look from Wei Ning.

Wei Ning squinted, remained silent for a long time, and then said in a hoarse voice, "I'm not going."

"What?!" the examinee from Section B exclaimed incredulously. "Wei Ning, are you crazy? Are you just going to let them run rampant like this?!"

Wei Ning remained expressionless and said in a calm voice, "These giants, enhanced by the Divine Court, are enough to give them a hard time."

Preventing the giant from stopping his attack was his responsibility and obligation to the exam.

His refusal to attack ordinary people stems from his respect for these lives and beliefs.

The two are not contradictory.

Therefore, Wei Ning chose to remain on the sidelines.

Because Wenmiao and his men completed their grain transport mission in time, the Great Wall remained standing for a short period of time, no matter how the giants attacked.

The students in Zone B watched in shock as the students from Zone A stopped fighting the giants and instead protected the people as they entered the Great Wall.

At this moment, the magical staffs in the hands of the examinees shot out powerful divine energy, but no longer for points, but for protection!

And it's about protecting a group of ordinary people!

Ridiculous!

These students from Zone A are barely able to protect themselves, yet they still have the mind to protect these NPCs?!
What a bunch of idiots!
madman!

May they all fail their courses!

Despite cursing and mocking them in their hearts, none of the examinees in Zone B took advantage of the chaos to launch an attack using any powerful artifacts.

Like Wei Ning, they stood silently in place, their emotions too complex to speak.

A thought uncontrollably flooded everyone's minds at the same time—

If they were from Area A, would they be like Jiang Yu and the others?
Even in death, he could still laugh, drink, and chat with a group of NPC soldiers.

Wow!
Wen Miao, who was rushing to the main battlefield at top speed, suddenly heard the system's urgent broadcast in her ear, each note more impassioned than the last—

[Faith Value in Chinese Deities +10]

[Faith Value in Chinese Deities +19]

[Faith Value in Chinese Deities +23]

[Faith Value in Chinese Deities +28]

【…】

[Congratulations, host! You are only 5% away from unlocking the fifth Chinese deity's gift pack...]

[4%, 3%, 2%...]

Wen Miao was stunned on the spot. While asking about the situation in the world channel of Area A, she frantically sped up her return speed.

Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, the group messages in Channel A have stopped being replied to; it's completely silent.

A sudden sense of impending doom washed over Wen Miao.

what the hell!

What exactly happened to Jiang Yu and the others?
Not replying to messages is one thing, but how come the power of faith in China has increased so quickly all of a sudden?!

They're practically shooting up into the sky!
"Catch up slowly!" Wen Miao spoke rapidly, turning her head to address the examinees behind her.

"I'll go back to the main battlefield and take a look!"

After saying that, Wen Miao left the candidates in Zone A of the examination room, broke away from the group, and hurriedly came to the main battlefield alone.

As soon as they arrived, Wen Miao saw layers of powerful faith energy enveloping the Great Wall, with whispers rising and falling from within the formation.

"It doesn't matter who it is..."

"Save China..."

"Protect my homeland..."

"..."

Wen Miao's heart clenched instantly.

What a humble cry! Beneath their feet lay piles of bricks from the Great Wall, and the bodies of countless examinees and soldiers who had defended the city lay scattered about.

As far as the eye could see, there were ruins everywhere, a mess on the ground, and thick dust and smoke filled the air.

The earth was pounded into large holes by the black-striped giants, and the once majestic Great Wall was covered in blood, which dried on the bricks and stones, leaving behind endless sorrow.

Wen Miao's face twitched incessantly, her fingers trembling as she stroked the Great Wall.

What happened to the Great Wall in such a short time?
Swish!
The next second—

The red light, formed from the power of faith, transformed into a magnificent red dragon, which eagerly flew out of the formation and closely surrounded Wenmiao.

Looking down at the vast red array beneath her feet, Wen Miao's heart suddenly trembled.

An indescribable, mysterious feeling welled up inside me.

Click, click...

She seemed to hear the sound of time flowing backwards and then moving forward again.

Is it an illusion?

Just as Wen Miao was lost in thought, the examinees in Area A within the formation stood up excitedly and cheered:

"Look, it's Wen Miao!"

"Wen Miao is back!"

"Hahaha, our reinforcements have finally arrived!"

They felt safer seeing Wen Miao come alone than if they had seen a thousand troops.

Upon seeing Wen Miao, the students in Zone B immediately perked up and stared at her warily.

Wei Ning solemnly drew his green whip, ready for battle.

Don't be careless.

This woman is even more difficult to deal with than Jiang Yu.

From a distance, Wen Miao's gaze first met Jiang Yu's, then that of Su Nan, Fan Ling, and the others...

The black-striped giants' attacks grew stronger, yet none of the civilians were injured. They looked expectantly at the ever-growing red dragon in the sky, as if they saw a glimmer of hope for survival.

Wen Miao knew that this was all because the examinees were protecting them.

Yes…

"I'm here," Wen Miao said softly.

Swish!
A tiny flame suddenly surged from Wen Miao's heart and quickly merged into the red dragon above the Great Wall.

Holy crap! What's going on?!

This formation…

It was actually connected to the system bound to her body!
Wen Miao's eyes widened, and she suddenly stopped in her tracks, her Fire-Tipped Spear poised to kill the Black-Striped Giant.

Boom boom boom!
Wenmiao's faith power, along with the faith power of all the common people and examinees below the city, merged into the formation.

The powerful force of faith suddenly transformed into a dragon, and with a flick of its tail, it soared more than ten thousand meters into the sky!

The formation is now complete!
at the same time.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, your Chinese Deity Faith level has increased to level 5. The fifth Chinese Deity Gift Pack has been unlocked.]

[Host, would you like to extract now?]

Wen Miao took a deep breath and pressed the 'extract' button with a snap.

[Demonic selection in progress, please wait...]

As the system notification faded, Wen Miao's heart calmed down like never before.

The fifth deity was not invited by her alone.

Instead, it was the countless civilians and soldiers stationed at the Great Wall, along with these interstellar examinees, who invited them all with their unwavering belief in protecting the city!

So... whoever it is, please save China!
[Ding, extraction complete.]

The moment Wen Miao looked up, she froze on the spot, her breath catching in her throat.

Human face and snake body...

That is…

[Beep, Area A is now open. All examinees and Great Wall soldiers are being resurrected indefinitely. The ruins are being rebuilt.]

[Examinees in Area A and soldiers of the Great Wall gain +9000% HP, and the Great Wall's defense gains +9000%!]

[Sizzle, loading remaining attribute bonuses...]

As soon as the StarNet system finished speaking, Su Nan, who was fighting desperately against the enemy, suddenly felt a warm sensation rising in his dantian.

His depleted divine power instantly returned to its optimal state, and he even showed a slight tendency to advance!

How is this going? !
Not only Su Nan, but Jiang Yu and the others also had the same feeling. They stared at each other in disbelief, their eyes wide open.

Hasn't the Great Wall already exhausted all its trump cards and has no way out?
Wen Miao looked down at her palm, which was brimming with powerful energy, and suddenly smiled.

Do not treat the Taoist sect as a marketplace, and do not use your scheming to worship the gods.

Only with a truly sincere and genuine love for the land, and a deep-seated desire to protect, can one possibly invite this Chinese deity to come and offer protection.

"Awaken our ancestors, protect our homeland!"

"I, with my own flesh and blood, swear I will not retreat a single step, even to the death!"

(T_T) I wrote extra chapters in each one, so this definitely counts as half an extra chapter!
