I was the Heavenly Emperor in ancient times

Chapter 76 Telephone
When I turned on the TV, I found that all the TV screens showed me.

What does this feel like?
Li Jun discovered that he had not only appeared on Dongguo's television, but also that he had unknowingly become the headline on news channels and media networks around the world.

His face and image appeared in every corner of the world, attracting the attention of countless people.

Perhaps it was because Li Jun was too mysterious in the past. He rarely appeared in public, and even when he was seen, it was only a shadow from afar. Few people had ever seen what the real Li Jun was like.

Even if you wanted to report on him, you could hardly find any real footage.

Countless people and various forces wanted to contact him, but could not find where he was.

Therefore, when a living, breathing Li Jun openly appeared in front of everyone, it caused such a strong reaction.

People all over the world are very curious.
"Just who exactly is Li Jun?"

This power suddenly erupted and transformed into the overwhelming situation we see today.
-
Turn off the TV and turn on your phone.

The first video was opened.

Turn off the overwhelming barrage of comments, and the language of Japan comes through, its enthusiasm and excitement bordering on the exaggerated.

It is 9:20 p.m. now.

"God called the dead from all the land of the rising sun here and raised them from the dead, and I am here to witness this."

"As you can see, those who have long since died are now vividly alive before our eyes. Most of them have become ghosts and remain in the human world because of various misfortunes they have suffered during this period."

"Now let's interview him. Sir, how did you come back to life?"

How much of your memory of death do you have?

"Do you remember what happened after you died? What does it feel like to be a ghost?"

In the past, probably no one could have imagined that such a thing could happen in this world: to interview someone about what it feels like to die.

In front of the camera.

A man draped in a blanket, his hair still wet, faced the camera. It took him a while to find his rhythm before he began to speak.

"All I remember is that it was a very painful and dark world, we couldn't control ourselves, and we just hoped that someone would come to save us,"

"Then the gods appeared, gods from the East who saved us, illuminating the darkness like the sun."

"He is our hope and our only God."

Then, the next interviewee also spoke.

"He is a true god, and he has done what only Buddha could do."

"He gave us back our bodies, and it feels so good to be alive."

"He gave us new life and empowered us,"

One interviewee after another appeared, and almost without exception, they all said that it was Li Jun with double pupils who saved them, pushing the atmosphere of the scene to a climax.

Finally, all those who had been resurrected came before "Li Jun," performing the same actions and displaying devout and solemn expressions as they worshipped the god.

The scene was solemn, yet eerie.

At the same time, it also possesses a strong appeal.

It makes you want to join in.

Li Jun finished watching the first video and then began to think.

"A first-stage extraordinary being?"

"No, the power is too rudimentary."

"The newly mutated people of the mountains and seas?"

"I haven't really mastered how to use the power yet; my body has just been passively eroded and undergone some changes."

Thinking about it this way, it makes some sense.

However, there are still some questions: Where is the Kingdom of Mountains and Seas?

This couldn't have come out of thin air.

"And what are the characteristics of this ability? Resurrection from the dead, an immortal body?"

"Which demon god's power is at play?"

"What's the price? What is the price?"

However, you can't learn much just by watching this video.
-
Li Jun jumped to the second video.

The video shows footage taken after daybreak, clearly depicting events following the mass resurrection of the deceased, but the time frame is not far off; it should be the following day.

in the screen.

Li Jun displayed even greater power, and he began to select suitable seeds from the crowd, endowing them with some real power.

A young man stepped out from the crowd, ascended the steps, bowed in the manner of the Rising Sun Kingdom, and then prostrated himself on the ground to speak.

At this moment, the previously aloof "Li Jun" began to speak, his voice sounding similar to that of the Li Jun on this side.

He asked, "What do you want?"

To be honest, this sentence sounds simple, but it's actually incredibly profound.

What abilities I can give you depends not on me, but on what you want.

You want it.

I can give it to you.

Others might not have noticed the difference, but Li Jun, listening to the phone, immediately understood the meaning behind those words.

He didn't even dare to say that.

The other person said, "I want the ability to resist ghosts and monsters, but more importantly, I want to be able to detect them. If I can detect danger in advance and sense it, I can prevent disaster from happening."

In the video, "Li Jun" extends his hand: "Come on!"

"Li Jun" reached out and actually merged a dog with the other person, giving the other person both human and dog characteristics.

This person then demonstrated his power on the spot, his body swelled up and transformed into a giant dog-headed humanoid being, but his feet still looked like dog legs.

When it stood up and left, it was nearly three meters tall, with its hair extending down to its back, flowing like a mane.

As soon as he stood up, gasps of surprise rippled through the crowd, and everyone instinctively tried to move away from him, including the cameraman.

"what!"

"Inugami, is that Inugami?"

"Is it that simple?"

"The power of the gods, this is true divine power. No wonder Zhou Shentong listed the extraordinary in one book and the immortals and gods in another. True gods have the power to create extraordinary beings at will!"

"too strong."

As soon as Li Jun saw the phone, he thought of something.

"Ringed dog?"

However, upon closer inspection, it is only vaguely similar and completely different from the power of a ring dog.

This was just the beginning. Several more people were chosen to climb to a high place and receive the power of "Li Jun".

Someone said, "My God, I wish I could fly in the sky like you."

Li Jun stretched out his hand: "Come on!"

The person next to him took out a crow, and "Li Jun" merged it with the person.

The human's physical body and the crow's body shattered together, then merged into one, becoming a completely new existence.

Then, the other party transformed into an ugly, half-crow, half-human creature, spread its wings, and flew into the sky.

Everyone below pointed their cameras upwards and kept taking pictures.

Then several more people stepped forward. "Li Jun" sat upright on a high place, like an immortal touching one's head, imparting the way to longevity.

Only those that are selected.

Whatever power you desire, he can grant you that power.

A thousand great paths and eternal life seem to reside within the palm of his hand.

Li Jun watched as the other person combined all sorts of animals and people together, and even combined people and plants together.

Some creatures have faces like beasts and can breathe fire, while others have mouths with snakes and can summon water.

Some can change their faces, while others can transform parts of their bodies into tools.

This is the characteristic of the first stage of witchcraft: they can transform a part or even most of their body into another form, while simultaneously restoring it to its original state.

Meanwhile, the media outlets below became even more excited.

"Li Jun is demonstrating the power of a first-stage superhuman, a secret technique that the Eastern Kingdom and the Longevity Temple will never reveal to outsiders."

"This undoubtedly proves that Li Jun is indeed a living god. He is the reincarnation of a god or Buddha from ancient mythology, an existence that can transcend everything."

The reporter looked at Li Jun and gradually seemed to turn into a believer as well, appearing extremely frenzied.

In front of his phone, Li Jun looked at another version of himself on the screen and could see the changes in him.

He didn't say a word when he first appeared, but gradually he started talking more and more, and became more and more like the Li Jun in everyone's eyes.

"It's becoming more and more like a human."

Li Jun was still unsure what it was.

But he felt that the other party was not human.

It's not some non-human being transformed from a human, and it may never have even existed in a mortal form.

"It, or he, must have come up from the lower level."
-
Finally, this is today's video.

In the scene, "Li Jun" is no longer sitting outside, but in a real hall, sitting cross-legged on a high place.

He changed into a very simple outfit. Although his hair was loose, he was adorned with many jade ornaments, giving him a sense of ancient times.

Below him on both sides stood various "demons and monsters," serving him like servants.

A half-human, half-dog creature nearly ten feet tall, a person with black wings, a person spitting out snakes, a person with fire blazing in their eyes.

At first glance, it seems similar to the scene in a temple.

The Buddha, a divine being, sat high in the hall, flanked by fierce guardians, each with glaring eyes, tall stature, and various unusual features.

However, the statues in that temple were sculptures, while all the statues in this main hall were alive.

Including the "Buddha" on the altar.

It's hard for ordinary people to imagine that those seemingly terrifying and fierce "protectors" were created in a single day. For the "Buddha," they were surprisingly cheap and easy to create, like little toys.

The person who came to pay his respects to "Li Jun" today is not an ordinary person, but a real "big shot" who can wield real power in Japan.

The other person knelt on the ground: "My God, I am willing to entrust this country to you. I entrust everything to you."

In full view.

In front of countless media outlets and even the entire world, the other party made these remarks.

Then, a smile appeared on "Li Jun's" face.

He took something out and handed it to the other person.

It was a sacrificial vessel.

This immediately caught Li Jun's attention. Li Jun looked at the sacrificial artifact, trying to discern the source of the fake "Li Jun's" power from it.

However, Li Jun quickly realized that this thing was not a sacrificial artifact of a demon god, but a sacrificial artifact of a ghost god.

What is revealed is only a partial characteristic of a certain ghost or deity, not a demon or god.

This ritual object looks like a piece of clothing, folded up and placed in a box. Such ritual objects are very rare; at least Li Jun had never heard of them in ancient times.

As the man accepted the sacrificial vessel, everyone present began to shout.

"The power of the second stage!"

"The gods are so generous."

"Thank you, God."

Exchanging an entire nation for a single sacrificial vessel was hailed as generosity and met with immense gratitude by countless people.

These people have no idea what kind of terrifying entity they have entrusted the lives and deaths of an entire nation and countless people to.

but.

It was at this moment that Li Jun suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

All of this happened too fast.

From the beginning until now, it's only been three days at most, and this "Li Jun" has already gained control of a country.

This was certainly a display of power, but Li Jun could sense that there was something else influencing everything.

Li Jun looked closely at the other version of himself on the TV and finally discovered the incidental phenomenon that he had vaguely noticed before but hadn't paid much attention to.

That is, the people around him seem to be too fanatical.

Moreover, this fervor and worship will continue to escalate over time.

This "Li Jun" seems to be influencing everyone around him invisibly.

"Everyone who sees him will be influenced by him."

"People will unconsciously trust him, even worship him, and eventually worship him."

He exuded a perfect, extreme charm.

Although he never utters a word, it seems that anyone who comes into contact with him or observes him for a long time develops an extreme sense of worship and fascination with him, ultimately allowing his mind to be controlled by him.

Gradually, you'll come to think of him as the most perfect being in the world.

Li Jun immediately realized something, turned off the video, and started searching for other comments about the "Li Jun" who appeared in Japan.

He wondered, "Is this influence and control limited to the area around the body, or are those who indirectly witness it also affected?"

However, when I searched, all I saw was this kind of information.

"I'm going to Japan to pay homage to Li Jun." There were many similar messages. It seemed that the news of the fake "Li Jun" constantly creating superhumans had stimulated everyone, and many people wanted to try their luck in front of him.

“Starting today, I will set out from my home and walk step by step to worship God’s dwelling place.” This must be a person from the land of the rising sun.

"I'm off. I've bought my ticket. I'm going to become Li Jun's dog." This sentence was accompanied by a photo, which was a picture of the scene where the fake "Li Jun" created the half-human, half-dog superhuman.

Of course, there are also a few rational ones.

"Don't be crazy. It's the 21st century already. That guy is going to become a god. Do you really want to accept the existence of a god in this world?"

Li Jun clicked on this, expecting a barrage of criticism against him.

however.

However, the comments below were overwhelmingly negative.

"So what if he wants to be a god? Whether it's the Temple of Longevity or the Eastern Kingdom, they all keep the power of the extraordinary beings from us, but Li Jun gave it to so many people. He gave everyone a chance."

"That's right, as long as someone can give me the chance to become a superhuman, what does it matter if he becomes a god!"

“Li Jun is the real savior. He gave us ordinary people an equal opportunity to become superhumans. All we need to do is worship him as a god. What could be cheaper than that?”

"Think about what the Changsheng Temple wants. They want all of our souls and to be their slaves for generations to come. What price could be more cruel than that? In the end, the whole world still accepted it."

"That's Li Jun, the one with double pupils, the god who slew the Candle Dragon. He is a deity in himself. What's wrong with him being the god of a country in the mortal world?"

Li Jun finished reading it, but felt somewhat confused.

"Is this due to some influence, or was it always like this?"

Li Jun had been very busy before this, rarely stopping and unable to stop, paying attention to how the outside world viewed him.

original.

In the eyes of most people around the world, this is how he appears.

Especially after he defeated Zhou Shentong and killed Zhulong, a funny but vivid picture appeared on the internet, and it spread widely in the Eastern Kingdom as well.

Li Jun's image was photoshopped onto an old anime meme, with a line of text below it.

At this moment.

Li Jun also saw it in the comments below, where it said...

"The New World's Kami".
-
And the other side.

The "Gate" base has naturally been keeping a close eye on the movements in Japan, since Li Jun's identity is associated with too many things and has too great an impact.

As soon as Lu stepped out of the door, someone was waiting for him outside.

The other party asked, "Have you made contact?"

Lu Gang shook his head: "He doesn't seem to be on Taoshan Island."

The other person's expression turned serious: "So, that means it might actually be true?"

Lu Gang hesitated at this point: "I can't be completely sure either."

However, he quickly explained why he believed that Li Jun was a fake.

He said, "The Lee Jun in Japan has too many problems. He is completely different from the Lee Jun I have met. The Lee Jun who appeared in Japan has been reversing the passage of time and becoming younger and younger due to the price of some kind of power. However, the Lee Jun who appeared in Japan does not have this characteristic at all."

The other party said, "However, the power they displayed completely surpasses the level of a superhuman."

Indeed, the power that person displayed was comparable to the feeling that Li Jun and Zhou Shentong had given everyone before, and now there was also Zhang You.

Lu Gang couldn't be sure that the other party was definitely a fraud, fearing that his misjudgment would bring unimaginable disaster and consequences.

"I'll find a way to confirm it."

The other party said, "We must begin to assess the subsequent impact. If Li Jun really begins to change, the disasters and changes that will result may be incalculable."

Let alone him, Lu Gang himself thought that if Li Jun really turned to the dark side, only he would know how terrifying that would be.

At that moment, a phone call came to Lu Gang.

"Ok?"

Lu picked up his phone, but something felt off.

The other person asked, "Whose is it?"

Lu Gang shook his head: "I don't know him. It's strange."

Now, he's no longer an ordinary person; not many people know his contact information.
The other party gestured: "They must be something special to be able to get this far. You take the hit!"

Lu Gang answered the phone, then cautiously asked, "Who is it?"

A voice came from the other end of the phone.

He said, "That's not me."

Lu Gang immediately looked up, and the other person was also looking at him.

"who is it?"

Lu Gang uttered a name: "Li Jun!"

The other person suddenly stood up.
