The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

"I heard you!"

But eventually, the demigods from other countries spoke up one after another.

The volume of the sound reached the decibel level for normal conversation.

Although everyone's expression when saying these three words was as if they were eating a hot dumpling.

But I did say it, and I did say it loudly.

"Um."

Hearing this, Gu Xu nodded in satisfaction: "That's more like it."

Having said that, he spread his hands, his tone carrying an unsettling casualness: "You were all so lifeless just now; anyone who knew you would think you were demigods!"

"Anyone who didn't know better would think you were a bunch of college students who just crawled out of bed at 8 a.m.

"So...you all need to be mindful of your image at all times, keep yourselves alert, and don't embarrass yourselves!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Cang almost couldn't help but smile.

He quickly turned his head to the side and pretended to wipe his nose with his hand.

Actually, she was trying to hide the barely suppressed smile on her lips.

Tang Yi and Old Ge's shoulders were also trembling slightly.

He was clearly trying not to laugh.

Although it wasn't written on her face.

But the frequency of their shrugging betrayed his true state at that moment.

As for the demigods from various countries who had been reprimanded by Gu Xu, their current thoughts were basically the same.

That is, I've never felt so frustrated in my entire life.

But today, they not only listened, but also obediently responded loudly.

The most outrageous thing is that they even feel like they don't have much of a reason to be angry.

After all, they had just saved their lives.

If they had arrived a second later, they would be a pile of charred remains by now.

You're dragged back from the gates of hell, and then the person who saved you scolds you.

What right do you have to disobey?

So we have no choice but to endure it.

however--

Just as Gu Xu was about to say something more, the entire space suddenly changed.

There were no warning signs whatsoever.

It's as if someone pressed a hidden switch in this already devastated secret realm.

"Buzz~~!"

A deep tremor emanated from the depths of the secret realm.

Immediately afterwards, a seven-colored light suddenly burst forth on the distant horizon in everyone's sight.

Each color remains pure to the extreme.

Seven colors intertwined and intertwined.

It stretches from the horizon all the way to the sky above.

Like a dream, so beautiful it seems unreal.

Along with the seven-colored light appeared an extremely peculiar energy fluctuation.

The wave spread out from the center of the distant light, pushing towards them at a not-so-fast but extremely steady pace.

When that wave swept across the bodies of each demigod, everyone's mental energy trembled violently at the same instant.

Because they all felt a longing from the depths of their souls, from the profession itself.

The feeling was like someone who had walked in the desert for three days and three nights and suddenly smelled water.

Instinctive and frantic, an uncontrollable craving.

"This is……!"

Wang Cang's pupils suddenly contracted, and the hairs on his body stood on end at the same time.

Tang Yi's breathing suddenly became heavier, and his Adam's apple bobbed violently.

When Old Ge turned around, the expression on his old face, which had been suppressing laughter, vanished instantly, replaced by an uncontrollable fervor.

Behind them, the demigods from various countries who had just looked humiliated now had bloodshot eyes.

His gaze was so intense it could burn through steel plates.

What grievance? What dignity? What face?

Faced with this aura, none of these things mattered anymore.

Because they are so familiar with this energy fluctuation.

To be precise, this is their sole purpose in traveling thousands of miles to the middle of the Pacific Ocean and risking their lives to enter this secret realm: the Source of God!

Soon, it came into everyone's sight.

At the center of that seven-colored light, a huge gate of light was slowly taking shape.

The size of that gate of light was beyond description in terms of height.

The surface is shimmering with seven colors.

At the center of the portal was a bottomless, seven-colored vortex, and deep within the vortex, a white light flickered.

The energy concentration of that white light was so high it was suffocating.

Gu Xu squinted, staring at the seven-colored light gate in the distance.

He could sense a powerful energy fluctuation behind the portal.

The intensity and purity of that fluctuation far exceeded anything he had ever encountered before.

That must be the source of the gods.

But the problem is, besides the energy fluctuations of the source of the gods, he also sensed something else.

A force that he couldn't quite explain, but which felt very familiar to him.

That feeling was very subtle.

It's like you're walking down the street and suddenly smell a fragrance.

You can't tell what dish it is, but you just know you've eaten it before.

And it wasn't just once.

"This taste..."

Gu Xu frowned slightly.

He quickly went through all the high-energy items he had recently come into contact with in his mind.

The Great God of the Underworld in the Realm of Izumo?

No, that thing has a rather cold and sinister aura.

The Origin-level Dragon King of the Dragon King's Court?

That's not right either; the energy fluctuations of the dragon race carry a clear sense of bloodline suppression.

Those eyes from the Silver Moon Realm?

Gu Xu paused for a moment.

It seems we're getting close.

But they are not exactly the same.

The eyes of the Silver Moon Realm gave him a feeling of malice and aggression.

It's like someone holding a knife to your throat, openly telling you—I'm going to kill you.

But the atmosphere is different now.

It is not that aggressive.

Instead, it carries a sense of... vicissitude?

Yes, that's what it means to be weathered and worn.

It's like an old thing that has lived for a very, very long time, covered in the marks of time.

"That's interesting."

Gu Xu muttered something under his breath.

Just then, Wang Cang's voice came from the side.

"Gu boy!"

The old man's voice was much louder than before, and his tone was filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"What's inside should be the Source of God!"

When he said this, excitement almost overflowed from his eyes.

You should know that, in Gu Xu's view...

Old Master Wang is the kind of person who wouldn't change his expression even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.

But at this moment, he was like a child entering an amusement park for the first time.

His eyes were full of light.

"If we actually got our hands on this..."

Wang Cang took a deep breath, his voice choked with emotion: "Our Divine Xia will then be able to produce several more Origin-level beings."

"Not only me, but also Lao Tang, Lao Ge, and all those old guys in the country who have been stuck at the peak of demigods for many years, all have a chance to break through."

"And more importantly, what if we actually manage to clear this secret realm!"

"The location of this high-dimensional secret realm will be fixed within the territory of Shenxia."

"At that time, this secret realm will belong to our Divine Xia. The resources, the opportunities, everything within it will be ours."
