Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

Everyone screamed in agony and fell to the ground, watching as the brand on their bodies turned fiery red, then began to flow and deform like flowing flames... finally transforming into the shape of the Dream Game curse mark!

From this day forward, you will be my shape.

That's right. Since Zhao Hao already knew about the Branding Project and the Savior Project, he would naturally do something to sabotage it.

The Endermen's actions were merely to ascertain the composition and proportions of the Skull and Bones' Branding Project, making it easier for them to crack it.

In fact, Zhao Hao had already secretly added his own ingredients to those extraordinary branding inks.

Ninety-nine percent of the people in Ame were branded, and ninety percent of those brands were problematic. By this time, they had all become Dream Game curse marks.

In an instant, the number of players in Fantasy Westward Journey exceeded 200 million!

The Dream Network has officially launched, and the Salvation Plan has begun!

At this moment, Zhao Hao flew into the air and broadcast live in front of more than 200 million players and hundreds of millions of Den Den Mushi users.

Psychic energy surged behind him, and clouds gathered into spectacular clusters, radiating light.

Zhao Hao: I am the real savior! I'm not pretending anymore, you can call me Superman now!

Meanwhile, tens of thousands of experienced players on America's side descended upon major cities, taking over key departments and public facilities. They began pacifying the populace, distributing supplies, and seizing control of cities and armed forces.

The Amerindian government still wants to resist, and their military still has tens of thousands of members in this extraordinary legion.

However, of those tens of thousands, more than three thousand directly defected, more than three thousand laid down their weapons and remained neutral, and more than two thousand simply ran away.

The last thousand or so extraordinary soldiers were completely surrounded and were stunned on the spot.

Soon, some outstanding individuals dropped their weapons and chose to surrender.

They first experienced the Skull and Bones Society's branding of the Savior's Manifesto, and then Zhao Hao's branding of the altered manifesto, leaving them somewhat bewildered.

Even if someone wants to risk their life for their country now, they need to think carefully about who they're risking their life for. Everyone's confused!

……

The Skull and Bones members watched the live broadcast of the Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter) on the video, then looked in astonishment at the brand on their hands.

As mentioned before, the branding system is divided into different levels, with varying permissions and restrictions.

Members of Skull and Bones are naturally at the highest level and possess many privileges. However, it has now been discovered that the number of Skull and Bones members has suddenly dwindled to only a few million!

"W-What happened? Where did the brand go?!"

"How...how did he know we were going to sacrifice the majority of people? Has the Heaven's Gate plan been leaked?"

"The branding is suspicious! He's a jerk, playing dirty tricks on us!"

"Oh no! The Savior, the Messiah, is in trouble!"

As the brand transformed into a game curse mark, the savior nailed to the cross began to shrink from a middle-aged man into a smaller one.

His wounds on his hands and feet began to emit light, and finally his whole body turned into a beam of light and disappeared.

He wasn't originally a living being, but rather a mixture of concepts and psionic energy.

At this moment, the ritual failed, and the savior was gone!

The Skull and Bones members slumped into their chairs, looking utterly dejected.

Having just fallen from its position as the world's hegemon, from a supreme class that held the fate of hundreds of millions of people in its hands to a terrorist organization, almost no one could withstand such a blow.

I thought I could finally return to America, make a grand entrance, defeat all those who disagreed with me, and rule the world from then on.

The result was incredibly cruel...

What Zhao Hao didn't expect was that he was just arbitrarily blaming the Skull and Bones Society, thinking that this kind of hierarchical labeling would definitely sacrifice the interests of some people, so he said that they wanted to sacrifice everyone.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a lucky accident.

Since the Skull and Bones Society's Savior Project backfired on the Vatican, the so-called Heaven's Gate Project was certainly not about opening the gates of Heaven.

In fact, the Skull and Bones Society has always had direct connections with the higher-ups of the Satanic cult, and even the devil in hell.

The so-called gates of heaven are actually the gates of hell.

Given their behavior and past, wouldn't going to heaven be just asking for trouble?

On the contrary, hell is practically a home forever!

The Skull and Bones Society's backup plan is to sacrifice the vast majority of the Branded Ones, directly opening the gates of hell and turning Skull and Bones members into devils reincarnated in hell.

Because of the large number of sacrifices made, one can directly become a high-ranking demon, or even a demon god!

That smells so good!

On the contrary, leading hundreds of millions of people through the gates of heaven to be governed within heaven—wouldn't that be the first choice for those in power?!

As a result, Zhao Hao has now completely undermined their efforts.

Since your Imprinting Plan is the foundation, I don't care if you're the Savior or the Gate of Heaven anymore, I'll just uproot you completely!

"President! President? Do you have any backup plans?" a Skull and Bones member shouted.

Everyone else looked at the old chairman with anticipation.

They had already returned to their prime from old age, but now, looking at the chairman, he even showed signs of premature aging.

"Yes! Let's get out of here first. It's no longer safe here!"

That's why they say a cunning rabbit has three burrows!

Amei fled to Mo Du Ge to escape Zhao Hao's pursuit. Now that they can't fight their way back, they'll continue fleeing south! The guild still has a secret base within its world-building, which should hold out for a while.

Going to Europe would have been a good option. The Papacy is powerful; they could definitely hold off Zhao Hao!

Now, the Holy See and related supernatural forces along the holy path have all suffered an epic blow.

Even if they hadn't suffered a major blow, let alone a major one, the Vatican would have loved to devour the flesh and blood of the Skull and Bones Society!

This time, they've really narrowed their options!

Former Chairman: I never realized that Zhao Hao had a rebellious streak!

……

While Zhao Hao was outwitting and outmaneuvering the Skull and Bones Society and the Vatican, a nationwide ceremony was taking place in Eastern Asia, specifically in the Song Dynasty.

This is a national ceremony, and preparations for it began more than twenty years ago.

This is why the Song Dynasty has remained silent all these years, and it is no exception to this practice. Even when internal unrest and turmoil occurred, this ceremony was the main event.

The original concept for this ceremony dates back hundreds of years.

At that time, the psionic dormancy had not yet begun, and the gods were still around.

The origin of the ritual concept was a royal secret record.

This secret record, accessible only to the emperor and the Imperial Clan Court, recounts the most perilous moment for the Song Dynasty a thousand years ago, when a divine being descended to earth to save the Song, married a Song princess, and ultimately ascended to heaven along with a massive island.

That period of history has been erased from the annals of time.

Therefore, many people only know that the extraordinary races and creatures in this world all come from the intersection of celestial bodies.

However, they did not know when the first conjunction of the stars occurred, nor why.

Decades ago, the Imperial Astronomical Bureau of the Song Dynasty had already detected signs of an impending apocalypse. Ultimately, the royal family chose to ascend to heaven with the entire nation!

If our ancestors were able to ascend an entire island to another realm, then it must be possible for an entire nation to ascend as well!

I, the Emperor Song, will ascend to heaven!

Chapter 527 Let Me Confer Godhood!

Attaining immortality is extremely difficult.

According to the secret history of the Song Dynasty, after Liu Bowen severed the dragon vein, no one was able to become an immortal.

According to different schools of thought, there are different levels of immortality. The lowest level, the Human Immortal, is equivalent to Bronze, while the highest level, the Celestial Immortal, is equivalent to Silver.

However, the world has not produced any silver for hundreds of years.

It is so difficult for an individual to become an immortal or ascend to another world (by following the beacons left by the gods in heaven).

Not to mention the entire Song Dynasty, which covers an area of ​​over one million square kilometers and has a population of four hundred million!

If it were just a small group of people fleeing, the Song Dynasty's imperial family would have no problem with it.

After all, they still possess many treasures left behind by the divine beings who descended a thousand years ago. However, no one was confident about undertaking such a large-scale operation.

But who do you intend to keep? The common people? Those who advocate for a constitutional monarchy?

Finally, after much deliberation, the reigning Emperor Song made his decision.

He left behind the following instructions:

"If it weren't for the arrival of a divine being a thousand years ago, the Song Dynasty would have already perished. Although the Song Dynasty has continued to this day, the humiliation it experienced is deeply etched into our bones."

"Whether we rise again, rise a third time, restore order, or restore China, the humiliation of the past will never be forgotten." "And now, it is time for the Zhao family to wash away this shame. If we ultimately fail, the Zhao family will perish with the nation!"

……

However, according to traditional beliefs, one must undergo numerous tribulations to become an immortal.

One of these links is called the Human Tribulation.

As we all know, the Church of Sally initially favored ancient Rome, and later favored America.

The Toad God's favorite place is the African continent, where civilization is weak and barbarism is rampant. There, countless tribes and various animals serve as breeding grounds for germs, allowing His followers to develop unprecedented diseases.

Gotha, the epitome of violence, war, and bloodshed, had its eye on the Russian Bear. This nascent, unprecedented mode of violence was practically the ultimate form of iron-fisted and violent institutions. It was exactly what they wanted.

And what about the final, ever-changing master? What is He concerned with?

That's right, He has been keeping an eye on the Song Dynasty.

The master of change loves change, pursues knowledge and the unknown, and enjoys anything new and different, regardless of whether it's good or bad.

In some civilizations, He is regarded as the god of civilization or culture, the creator and disseminator of new technologies and systems.

In some worlds, however, there is a destroyer and usurper who overturns everything, devouring orderly civilizations with unknown chaos.

He didn't particularly like beings like the Great Song Dynasty.

How can there be an ancient country that has lasted for thousands of years in this world? This lifeless atmosphere is simply disgusting.

The Toad God wreaked havoc in 14th-century Europe, a plague that still terrifies people today. This is why He was later driven out of civilized regions by a united effort of all humankind.
