I was the Heavenly Emperor in ancient times

Chapter 83 No Time to Be a God
Beneath the earth, in places unseen by humans, monsters roam freely, and demons dance wildly.

On the earth, under the sun, humans are constantly scrambling and fighting.

Separated by a huge cave.

Humans and demons are both playing out their own dramas.
The helicopter hovered in the sky, constantly issuing various warnings and expulsion orders in the language of Japan.

"warn!"

"warn!"

"Everyone below, please leave immediately! Please leave immediately!"

"Otherwise, we will launch an attack."

"The countdown is now starting..."

"Prepare to fire..."

In the distance, military vehicles and police cars converged and drove towards this place, with various chaotic scenes along the way, seemingly due to conflicting orders from different higher authorities.

Nearby military bases also dispatched troops to clear roads and move quickly toward this location.

However, when these troops encountered some extraordinary forces and beings known as superhumans, they were as if they had been subjected to a dimensional reduction attack.

"Warning...Warning...Warning...Boom...Boom!" The helicopter hovered in the sky, issuing warnings and then opening fire, but was shot down in an instant.

"Whoosh..." The fire spread along the street, and people rushed out of the military vehicles, their bodies engulfed in flames, screaming in agony.

With the arrival of the extraordinary era, especially with the continuous emergence of demon gods and ancient ruins from the lower realms, the number of beings in the present world who possess extraordinary power is also increasing.

While some things cannot be called extraordinary, various forces have roughly figured out how to use them.

then.

At this moment, they all surged forward.

Various forces have made their appearances, each revealing their trump cards, all vying for the so-called "treasure" left behind by Li Jun.

Many people believe that Li Jun is dead, or at least one other person is dead.

More importantly, both Li Juns are no longer here. We might be able to find something useful from this place while they are gone.

Those two guys used all sorts of unbelievable abilities here, fighting from the ground to the sky and back again. They killed countless superhumans that could be seen with the naked eye, not to mention the huge hole that had appeared underground.

Everyone believed that a large number of extraordinary items must have been left behind here.

In a patch of scorched earth next to the large hole.

"found it."

"Found it! Someone found it!"

With a shout, everyone around immediately looked in that direction.

It seemed someone had discovered something, but the one who shouted was not this person, but someone nearby, whose voice was filled with malice.

But the others didn't care about all that and flocked there.

The conflict erupted immediately.

A barrage of firearms bombarded the area, and amidst the explosions and towering flames, screams of agony filled the air. Before anyone could even see anything, countless people had perished inside.

Then, more and more people gathered there, including some extraordinary individuals.

An even more brutal battle began, with ordinary people filling the millstone with their flesh and blood, those wielding extraordinary power going out of control on the battlefield, and even the extraordinary ones dying in the process.

At last.

Everyone then discovered that what they thought they had found was nothing more than a few pieces of broken tile left behind, and everyone paid a heavy price for it.

This scene is not the end, but only the beginning, and similar scenes will continue to occur in various places.

Finally, the earth beneath their feet began to tremble, and the enormous cave amplified and transmitted the tremors.

The terrifying shockwaves spread outwards in waves, blasting everyone in the ruins away.

Everyone finally came to their senses, stopped fighting, and looked towards the location of the cave.

Before long, they saw the teams that had entered the cave earlier fleeing outwards, their faces filled with panic and fear.

"what!"

"Run!"

"Something's coming out! Something's rushing out!"

"It's full of monsters, absolutely full of monsters!"

"This cave eats people; it's alive, it eats people."

"Don't go down! Run! Everyone run!"

"..."

Almost none of the teams that escaped were intact; each one looked to have suffered heavy losses. And these were the ones who managed to return; many had been completely wiped out inside.

They also saw Han Daoren and Zheng Shiliang, who were fleeing while attacking each other, trying to keep each other underground.

They burst out of the ground and continued to fight on the surface.

but.

At this moment, the people near the cave had no time to pay attention to them; their attention was focused on the noise coming from deep within the cave.

The turbulence continued to extend, wave after wave.

Everyone's expression changed, as if they could feel a stampede of horses beneath the earth, the sound of something overwhelming rushing towards the ground.

The sound grew closer and closer.

Everyone vaguely saw the overwhelming shadows of demons and monsters inside, and they all exclaimed in surprise, with many turning to run away.

"They're all monsters."

How much will this cost?

"Go, go quickly! Our people, evacuate immediately!"

With such a large number of them, and each possessing extraordinary power, it would be impossible for anyone outside to stop them if they broke through.

All factions have signaled their intention to retreat. They might still dare to resist other ordinary forces, but most of them remain clear-headed when faced with something truly insurmountable.

but.

A black light shot out ahead of the monsters, and a figure emerged from below, seemingly a sword immortal flying on a sword.

The black light spun around in the air a few times before finally landing and being caught in someone's hand.

The man stood outside the cave. The moment he appeared, everyone outside fell silent. Even the people who were fleeing stopped in their tracks and stared back at him in a daze.

Then, very faint sounds gradually began to emerge.

"It's Li Jun!"

"He's out."

"not dead?"

"What exactly happened inside? What's down at the bottom of this cave?"

Li Jun first glanced outside, then turned around and looked into the depths of the cave.

"Boom!"

Like a stampede of ten thousand horses, countless monsters rushed to the cave entrance.

Looking at Li Jun standing outside the cave entrance.

Li Jun's figure outside the cave entrance was worlds apart from the cave entrance itself, and appeared exceptionally thin compared to the dense array of monster shadows.

But Li Jun stood there, like a high wall, preventing anything inside from getting out.

Then, the demons and monsters deep within the earth retreated little by little, disappearing beneath the labyrinthine earth.

Li Jun then picked up his sword and walked outside.

Everyone around began to retreat, either making way for Li Jun or keeping a safe distance.

Li Jun had just returned to the upper levels from the land of mountains and seas deep in the earth, and he was still immersed in the scene he had just witnessed.

A series of mountain and sea kingdoms, all sorts of demons and monsters, and a figure with a double pupil.

Although he was walking on the road, all his thoughts were on these things.

"What should we do next?"

Without realizing it, Li Jun had reached the outermost layer.

Here, thousands of Sunrise Country people were waiting, and as soon as he appeared, they surged toward him.

Shout at him.

"Lord God!"

"The gods have appeared."

"god……"

"Everyone, hurry up and worship..." Li Jun was not the god they had been worshipping before, and many people below even knew this.

However, the other party didn't care.

Whether it's the previous Li Jun or this Li Jun, as long as it's Li Jun, they are willing to worship him as a god.

Lu Gang, who was not far away, naturally saw all of this as well.

He was somewhat afraid.

His worst fears had finally come true.

Lu Gang stared at the scene, his gaze finally settling on Li Jun. No one knew what choice he would make.

In Lu Gang's view, there is no need to pay any price, or rather, as a god, one does not need to bear any price.

There is no responsibility, only unlimited power and desire.

And with just one word from him, all of this would be his.

What a temptation!

But when it came to Li Jun, these people said a lot, and Li Jun couldn't understand anything except for a few words.

Reality isn't a video where words have subtitles.

Li Jun: "Who speaks Dongguk dialect!"

The group of people below stood up: "I...I...Your Majesty, I will..."

Li Jun randomly picked one, and one of the men got up and said to him.

"My Lord, I am a manga artist named Tadashi Okada. I have studied..."

The other party was somewhat agitated, but calmed down immediately after seeing Li Jun's face and quickly said...

"I'm sorry, I talked too much."

"We hope you can stay and become the god of our land of the rising sun. We will worship you for generations to come."

Li Jun nodded, and Okada Tadashi smiled, thinking that the other party had agreed.

Li Jun meant that he understood, but understanding did not mean he agreed.

He said, "I'm very busy, I don't have time."

This answer left everyone with an expression that defied description.

But Okada Tadashi said, "We don't need the God to be available, we don't need the God to do anything, we can..."

Li Jun shook his head: "You ask the gods and Buddhas for protection, but I cannot protect you. The problems in this world have reached a point where they cannot be contained."

This is quite similar to ancient times.

When those overwhelming demon gods surged forth all at once, no one could stop them.

In Lu Gang's view, Li Jun was invited to be a god in the present world, an irresistible temptation.

However, after Li Jun went to the deep cave beneath the earth, he realized that Japan was a huge mess, and a mess that no one could save.

With the power of the Ubume and even the power behind it unleashed, the Land of the Rising Sun is destined to withstand the first wave of impact.

Before long, this place will become the front line of conflict between the modern human world and the world of gods and demons.

"Instead of searching for some god, you should..."

Li Jun thought about it seriously for a moment, but could only give one answer in the end.

“Let’s get out of here!”

Okada Tadashi was at a loss: "My Lord, what do you mean by leaving?"

Li Jun: "Just like the Blackwater Kingdom back then, which chose to leave Dushuo City."

The other person opened their mouth, seemingly finding it hard to accept.

"It hasn't come to that!"

"Everything has been resolved; the rampaging ghosts and monsters have all been taken away."

"Isn't that right?"

For Japan, the appearance of that fake Li Jun caused chaos and brought about a series of consequences.

However, the evil spirits that used to roam the land had all disappeared, and those who had been resurrected, along with a large number of superhumans, were taken underground along with the fake Li Jun.

Although the best was not achieved, many problems seemed to be easily solved.

Li Jun: "If you think you can see things more clearly than I can, then you don't have to listen."

No sooner had he finished speaking than another noise came from the cave behind him.

Li Jun turned his head to look into the depths, where the commotion sounded like some kind of call, or perhaps a deliberate act.

"No more."

"I'm busy."

Li Jun, carrying his sword, walked towards the huge cave once again, and then slowly entered it.

If the other party doesn't want him to leave, then let's see who can hold out until the end.

That thing has its eye on him, and no matter where Li Jun goes, he can't shake it off.

Unlike previous enemies, this time the enemy was coming directly for him.

but.

This scene, when seen by others, took on a completely different meaning.

Lu Gang led Zhao Nange and Zheng Shiliang up to the top, watching as Li Jun entered the cave once again.

He said, "I thought he would choose to become a god. When he left, he told me that he envied the fake Li Jun. He didn't have to go to such lengths if he had just let go."

"He said that, but in the end he still didn't choose that path."

After saying that, Lu Gang looked at his arm.

His body has become severely mutated.

Wood grain has grown on the arm, and in some places even wood buds have sprouted, a sign that things are about to get out of control.

That's why Lu was able to empathize with Li Jun.

"What exactly are we doing this for?"

Zheng Shiliang was covered in wounds, all from his battles with the disciples of Changsheng Temple and Daoist Han.

"Because he considers himself a person, because we are different from Han Daoren and different from the Changsheng Guan (a school of thought on immortality)."

After entering the cave, Li Jun raised the black sword in his hand.

The black sword is the transformed form.

Its essence is the sacrificial dagger of the Peach Demoness.

The biggest gain from this trip to Japan was that the problem of Peach Demon Woman was solved, and he could once again borrow the power of Peach Demon Woman through the ancient sacrificial artifact.

This sacrificial dagger is no ordinary extraordinary item; it is a fourth-stage or even higher level existence.

Although truly controlling the Peach Demoness and fully unleashing the power of this sacrificial artifact requires imperial blood and double pupils, he still possesses the ancient Ghost God Pact, and can use a portion of its power as long as he pays a certain price.

Li Jun planted the black sword in the ground inside the cave, and soon a powerful force was unleashed.

A tall and wide ancient sacrificial altar appeared here.

The passageway in and out was blocked.
-
A mysterious cave that suddenly appeared, and a sacrificial altar that blocked the exit.

This naturally attracted a lot of attention.

The altar can be seen not far from the entrance to the cave. It looks ancient and simple, and you can tell at a glance that it must have come from the distant ancient times.

But that's not the most important thing. What's important is the terrifying, bloody smell it exudes, as if someone had slaughtered and sacrificed something horrible on the altar more than once in the past.

There is no problem viewing it from a distance.

However, as soon as people dared to approach him, the terrifying stench of blood filled their mouths and noses, and many were so frightened that they almost lost their souls.

“There is a mountain of corpses on that altar.”

"Did you see that? Did you see that? The immortal was killed on that platform."

"Dragon, divine dragon, the dragon had its head cut off up there."

"..."

Those who wanted to enter the cave ran back in a frenzy, spouting incoherent nonsense.

The altar was placed over the cave entrance to block the things inside from coming out, but in the eyes of some people, it became a deliberate attempt to prevent others from entering.

There must be something inside the cave.

"They all want to have it all to themselves."

"Like Dushuo City of the Longevity Temple and the Gate Base of the Eastern Kingdom, they all want to control all the extraordinary powers and resources and will not allow others to obtain them."
