The spell's range covers the entire territory of China? Hand it over to the state.

"Refine!"

Su Yun naturally wouldn't answer the doctor's question.

At this command, the giant cauldron trembled violently.

The giant cauldron, which had been upside down, slowly turned over and stood upright between heaven and earth.

The lid of the cauldron fell down, fitting perfectly.

Beneath the cauldron, the fire burns brightly.

This is not destruction, this is refinement.

In Longxia culture, where venomous snakes are found, there are always antidotes; highly poisonous substances are often also considered potent tonics. The key lies in how they are "prepared."

Discard the dross and select the essence.

Strip away the Western, chaotic, and spiritually polluting "outer shell," and what remains is the purest crystallization of energy.

"Sizzle sizzle—"

The sounds of frying and cooking seemed to echo throughout the world.

The doctor slumped to the ground, his eyes lifeless.

He sensed it.

As the giant cauldron operated, the power that he had once possessed, which he was so proud of, was rapidly draining away.

He is bound to angels.

Now, his "master" is being cooked like food, while he, the "believer," is like a parasite attached to the food, being evaporated little by little by the high temperature.

"You...you devils..."

The doctor looked at his hands.

His skin began to melt, not in a bloody, mangled way, but like a candle, slowly turning to ash.

"How dare you... treat God... as...?"

The doctor didn't finish his sentence.

Because he witnessed an even more horrifying scene.

The lid of the giant cauldron moved.

"puff--"

A plume of white steam billowed out from the gap in the lid of the cauldron.

But this steam is not waste gas.

It is golden.

It carried an intensely fragrant aroma that instantly enveloped the entire hemisphere.

This fragrance is so overpowering.

One sniff and you feel refreshed; two sniffs and all your ailments disappear; three sniffs and you feel like you can run five kilometers.

front.

The soldiers, who had initially felt nauseous and dizzy from close contact with radiation, experienced all their discomfort vanish the moment the aroma wafted over.

Instead, there is a frenzied surge of qi and blood within the body.

"My dizziness is gone?"

"Holy crap, I feel like I could kill a bull with one punch right now!"

"This taste...it reminds me a bit of the braised pork my family makes for Chinese New Year? No, it tastes like ginseng chicken soup!"

The soldiers breathed in greedily.

In mid-air, Zhao Tiezhu, who was closest to the target, benefited the most.

He was completely bathed in golden steam.

The previously somewhat ethereal soul now solidified like a real body of flesh and blood.

Not only that.

His armor began to change.

Golden feather patterns suddenly appeared on the originally simple and ancient luminous armor. These were the refined angelic rules, perfectly integrated into the system of heroic spirits.

"belch--"

Zhao Tiezhu let out a burp, and the Xing Tian Dharma Image behind him also let out a burp, exhaling a golden smoke ring.

"That feels good."

Zhao Tiezhu patted his belly with a satisfied look on his face. "This fast food may not be very nutritious, but it's definitely high in oil."

……

Inside the command center.

Su Yun looked at the pop-up notification on the system panel and nodded in satisfaction.

[Refining complete.]

[Item Obtained: Holy Spirit Tonic Pill (Mythical Grade) x3]

[Materials Obtained: Fallen God Bone (Complete) x1]

[Gain global buff: Divine Nourishment (Area of ​​effect: All of Dragonshire and allied areas). Effect: Increases all party members' physical attributes by 15% and increases resistance to mental pollution by 50%.]

"Only through diligence and thrift can a household prosper in the long run."

With a wave of his hand, Su Yun caused the giant cauldron that stretched across the sky to slowly dissipate, transforming into three golden pills the size of longan eyes, and a pure white spine that exuded a terrifying pressure, which fell into his palm.

This is good stuff.

The elixir can prolong the lives of the Dragon Elders or help the core heroic spirits break through their bottlenecks.

As for this bone...

Su Yun stroked his chin, wondering if he could forge a suitable weapon for any of the heroic spirits skilled in weaponry? Perhaps he could give Sun Wukong a new staff? Or Nezha a new Universe Ring?

Just as Su Yun was figuring out how to distribute the spoils of war...

On a deserted island.

The doctor's figure had completely disappeared.

There was no body, no trace.

Under the crushing weight of mythological concepts, he was reduced to ashes.

His last thought before he died was not the fear of death, but a profound sense of absurdity.

His lifelong pursuit of "evolution" is, in the eyes of Easterners, nothing more than a perfectly cooked dish.

That's the biggest irony.

……

With the angel completely refined, the surface of the Atlantic Ocean returned to calm.

Even thanks to the nourishment of the "divine golden rain," the seawater became clearer than before, and countless marine creatures swam happily in the water, full of vitality.

however.

Just when everyone thought the dust had settled.

"well……"

A sigh.

It resounded abruptly in the ears of everyone around the world.

The voice was faint and deep, carrying a sense of vicissitude and... helplessness that had transcended countless ages.

Su Yun suddenly looked up, her gaze fixed on the center of the Atlantic Ocean.

There, the "Pale Gate," which should have disappeared with the death of the angel, not only did not disappear, but began to tremble violently.

"Click, click."

The cracks in the door frame are being repaired.

The chilling, pale light shone again, even brighter and purer than before.

Followed by.

A sudden change occurred.

Not just the Atlantic Ocean.

Above the tundra of the Arctic night in Northern Europe, the phantom of the World Tree, which stretches from heaven to earth, suddenly droops down countless branches, each emitting a faint green light, pointing straight to the sky.

On the ruins of Mount Olympus in Greece, the purple-gold lightning no longer raged, but instead gently intertwined into a huge electric grid, covering half the sky.

On the surface of the Indian Ocean, the phantom images of several giant serpents that had been churning the Ocean of Milk ceased their movement. They coiled their bodies, raised their heads, and flicked their tongues, as if welcoming something.

Takamagahara in Japan, the pyramids of Egypt, the Mayan temples of South America...

Around the world, all the mythological revival points seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding at this moment.

Beams of light, each a different color and possessing different properties, shot into the sky from these locations.

They converged at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

Lights intertwine, rules collide.

Gradually merging.

Under the watchful eyes of billions of people around the world.

A colossal platform, so magnificent it defies description, suspended above the atmosphere, slowly took shape.

It's like an arena.

It also resembles a courtroom.

Surrounded by totem poles representing various mythological systems, the center is a chaotic void.

[Mythical Trial - Phase One Ends.]

[The "Dragon Summer" civilization has been detected to have an extremely high risk of violating regulations and a strong capacity for resistance.]

[Remedial measures activated: Arena of the Gods, now open.]

Lines of golden characters, not belonging to human writing, yet whose meaning could be instantly understood by everyone, were projected directly onto the blue planet's sky.

The person who let out that sigh seemed to have finally composed themselves.

From behind the pale door came a voice that was neither clearly male nor female, yet filled with authority:

"Since the rules can't erase you..."

"Then let's do it the way you understand it."

"Mortals, since you have seen the gods, why do you not kneel?"

boom!

As these words fell, a beam of golden light crashed down from the enormous arena suspended in space, heading straight for the capital of Longxia!

That was a declaration of war.

It was a formal challenge launched by the gods against this only civilization that had not been conquered.
