Gods of the Nation: You worship the God of Longevity, I worship the King of Hell!

Chapter 88 The Plague God Arrives! He Slaughters All Around!

On the mountain path, Lu Chen moved like lightning, speeding through the treetops, his clothes fluttering in the wind.

After dealing with the Mountain Lord, he took out the Plague Pearl and saw that the surging karmic force within it had visibly faded by a fraction.

"It seems this Rank A mission is indeed quite effective; the karmic burden within the Plague Pearl has dissipated considerably. As long as the upcoming missions are plentiful, my success rate should be at least 95% within seven days!"

"Congratulations General!"

The four underworld messengers beside him shouted in unison.

Lu Chen's lips curled up, full of enthusiasm: "Let's go, next one! It's dark now, the perfect time for us to show our skills!"

"Yes, my lord!"

"I will obey your orders!"

Behind the four Yin messengers, a hundred Yin soldiers appeared, exuding a chilling aura.

A group of people, stirring up a cold wind, rushed towards their next target with overwhelming force.

……

That night, a short video went viral like wildfire, instantly igniting the internet.

In the scene, a young man in black is running wildly ahead, while a ferocious tiger demon that has already taken human form is in hot pursuit, roaring loudly.

However, a cloud of blue smoke billowed from the boy's head, spreading outwards. In just a moment, the once majestic and powerful demon in human form disintegrated, its bones rotting like mud, and finally turned into a pool of filth.

Even more chilling is the tiger demon's cave that the camera pans across.

The interior was already a mess, clearly having been completely razed.

The video, which is just over a minute long, contains a massive amount of information that has left tens of millions of netizens speechless.

First, he soloed an A-level dungeon.

In the eyes of ordinary spiritual practitioners, the difficulty of an A-level dungeon is comparable to ascending to heaven. Let alone soloing it, even a team of seven or eight third-grade spiritual practitioners would struggle against such a transformed great demon.

Even a 50% chance of winning is considered high.

Secondly, the black-clad youth used the terrifying [Plague] supernatural power!
In this day and age, there are still people in the world who worship the "God of Plague"?
What's even more terrifying is that this plague's power is unpredictable, formidable, and shocking.

According to the blogger's description in the video, the black-clad youth soloed the entire dungeon of the transformed demon in just ten minutes.

It's not scary!
Within just one hour of its release, the video garnered over 100,000 likes.

The comment section was immediately flooded with various "stunned" and "horrified" emojis.

However, this is not the only video like this.

Shortly afterward, several more videos about the boy in black appeared online.

In the video, wherever Lu Chen went, miasma filled the air, and ghosts howled and spirits wailed.

Those tasks that ordinary spiritualists would fear were like cutting melons and vegetables in his hands, leaving no trace of demons and monsters.

Some netizens couldn't help but ask the photographer: Doesn't that poisonous miasma affect people?
The answers were remarkably consistent: the plague seemed to target only evil spirits and demons, and had no effect on humans whatsoever!
This statement once again overturned everyone's understanding.

"What the hell?! Can a plague even distinguish between friend and foe?"

"My worldview has collapsed! A plague can actually become a dungeon-clearing artifact?!"

"My head is spinning!"

Lies won't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife!

In no time, online search results for terms such as "how to worship the God of Plague," "precautions for worshipping the God of Plague," and "taboos related to the God of Plague" exploded and topped the real-time trending search list, remaining there for an extended period.

……

Qianjiang City, No. 1 Courtyard.

The tablet computer that Secretary Fan handed over gradually dimmed.

Zheng Changguo sat silently beside his unconscious wife's bedside for a long time.

The eerie green aura emanating from his wife had completely dissipated, and her face was serene, as if she had simply drifted into a dream.

“My dear wife, don’t worry…” He gently stroked his wife’s hair, his voice choked with emotion, “Trust Lu Xiaoyou, he will definitely succeed. Just sleep peacefully for a few more days, and you’ll be fine…”

As his gaze swept over the tireless figure on the screen once more, Zheng Changguo felt nothing but gratitude.

He knew perfectly well that the young man was working so hard for his wife.

Even if the other party always frankly says that he is doing it for himself.

But this did not diminish Zheng Changguo's gratitude towards Lu Chen in the slightest.

...In another study within the same courtyard.

Huang Yaowu, the city lord of Qianjiang City, had a cigarette between his fingers, his brows furrowed, as he repeatedly watched the video, his emotions complex and difficult to describe.

During the day, the aftershocks of the Plague Emperor's "descent" had not yet subsided, and at night, this kid relied on his plague supernatural powers to sweep through the various dungeons of Qianjiang City, as if entering an empty land, invincible in all directions.

His gaze inadvertently fell on a specially prepared encrypted document on his desk.

—Lu Chen, male, eighteen years old, from Jiangcheng, Jiang Province, a student at Jiangcheng No. 3 Middle School, status: commoner. Previously unknown, he has risen to fame in the past week. He has successively worshipped the God of Wealth and the King of Hell. On the day of the reform, he accepted an S-level mission: to pray for rain in Longhu County. He built a high platform and, with miraculous ceremonies, worshipped the Well Dragon King. Later, the Four Seas Dragon Kings and immortals passed through, leading to the descent of the God of Wealth's image. He ultimately successfully completed the S-level mission, was promoted to Special Grade, and became the first in the country…

Upon first reading the report, Huang Yaowu gasped several times.

His first thought was: This kid must have been blessed by the heavens, which is why he was able to make such a name for himself when he was not making a sound.

He had seen similar chosen ones before, but one who rose to power so rapidly and acted so domineeringly was truly unheard of.

"The deities worshipped are all obscure and uncommon, yet the effects are so extraordinary..."

Huang Yaowu thought about it all night, but still couldn't figure out the key point.

Huang Yaowu was certainly aware of the inside story regarding Madam Zheng's murderous intent.

This was a desperate situation that even the imperial physicians were helpless to resolve.

Now, this kid has actually managed to carve out a glimmer of hope.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what an incredibly capable young man! It's just a pity that such a promising talent isn't in my Qianjiang City! Otherwise, his rise to prominence could have been even faster!"

Huang Yaowu sighed, picked up his phone, and watched those videos repeatedly.

He had a premonition that from now on, many people would probably follow this kid's example and worship the "God of Plague".

After all, bounty hunters are the most pragmatic group of people.

They flock to whatever method works!
After all, who wouldn't want to easily pocket a hefty reward and military merit?
Even he himself had felt a moment of attraction just now.

Besides, these are people who are just trying to make a living.

"Once this trend begins, it's hard to say whether it's a blessing or a curse..."

Huang Yaowu couldn't help but give a bitter smile.

……

The internet knows no boundaries, and as this storm swept across Qianjiang, it also swept back to Jiangcheng City with the same speed.

……

"Good lad! You're a fucking genius!"

In Jiangcheng City, at the City Lord's Mansion, Yu Feng, who had returned two days ago, was watching Lu Chen in the video chasing after the evil creature and frantically releasing poison, and he was laughing so hard he couldn't stand up straight.

He never dreamed that one day, this plague-related supernatural power that everyone feared could be used in this way!

What others would avoid at all costs, this kid turned into a miraculous and invincible weapon.

Recalling Lu Chen's previous astonishing actions, Yu Feng, who had just plopped down on the sofa, suddenly had a thought: "These obscure deities are so effective when worshipped? Maybe... I should give it a try?"

He genuinely felt that Lu Chen had provided everyone with a completely new way of thinking.

Popular and unpopular deities are never predetermined; they are the result of selection over a long period of time.

However, times change, and who dares to say that popular topics will always be popular, and unpopular topics will always be unpopular?
"If this trend continues, who knows, one day these neglected and obscure deities might actually be able to rise up and take charge!"

With this thought in mind, and seeing Lu Chen in the video chasing the monster for two miles while it cried out for its parents, Yu Feng burst into loud laughter again: "These demons and monsters in Qianjiang City are really unlucky to have encountered such a plague god!"

……

The Sun family residence is located in the south of the city.

Security remains tight.

The second floor of the villa, inside the boudoir.

Sun Yourong, dressed in a silk nightgown, leaned lazily against the headboard.

The light from the phone screen shone on her delicate face, playing footage of Lu Chen galloping across the poisonous miasma-filled wilderness.

Looking at the familiar figure in the video, Sun Yourong's expression became both strange and silent.

A moment later, she suddenly raised her hand and gently covered her eyelids with a "slap," letting out a helpless yet amused sigh.

"This guy……"
