Zongman: All Heavens and Worlds Begin with the Devil's Curse

There will always be opponents you cannot defeat, and enemies you cannot fight.

As the saying goes, "Invincible under heaven, yet enemies come from the sky," its power has endured for ages.

Only then did the commentator finally react, shouting in shock, "The battle... is over! Devil's Tail, Nishiki Katsu!"

In an instant, the entire arena erupted in cheers.

Everyone chanted Ximu's name, showing respect and admiration for the strong, and his name was chanted louder and louder.

After this battle, the name Ximu will be passed down for a very long time in the Kingdom of Fiore.

A true strong person is always worth remembering.

In particular, he was so young and so polite that even after defeating his opponent, he didn't forget to send him back.

The men waved their fists and shouted, while many women, with hearts in their eyes, shouted words like "give birth to monkeys."

Indeed, Ximu's transformed appearance is quite outstanding, but he is still a bit too young.

"Damn it, these women, isn't this illegal?" someone complained.

As the main character today, Ximu smiled.

He has succeeded in perfecting himself and restoring his strength in this world.

Compared to the dark and hopeless hell, this place was like heaven to him.

Even if it's very lively, it won't feel too noisy.

west Mu bent down, placed his hand on his chest, and displayed his outstanding strength and humble appearance. This was the persona he had created for himself after stepping onto the stage.

Whether that's actually the case or not, who knows?

Anyway, after today's battle, he has already achieved his goal.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Beneath the arena, before the Gate of Eclipse, a new, arrogant figure has arrived.

He was still wearing a green suit, and the burly man who looked like a bodybuilding star was leaning casually against the wall.

"It's been a long time since I've used this form. Although it's quite different from my original appearance, it's not bad, and it's acceptable."

The Holy Lord admired his own appearance. Having finally managed to come out, he became more talkative and witty.

"My brother, what do you think?" The Holy Lord raised an eyebrow and looked at Zhou Lan. "I still remember the last time I was in this form was in another world. It's truly nostalgic."

He looked up and recalled it as if it were a wonderful time for him.

“You should thank Valon; I think this is his aesthetic sense.” Zhou Lan glanced at Shendu’s rather flamboyant green suit and his human-like appearance.

It must be said that, in terms of human aesthetics, God was actually more deeply influenced by Valon.

Perhaps it's because I used to possess that guy so often.

"Vallon? Maybe, so I gave him a job so he can sit and count money all day." The Holy Lord shrugged, looking indifferent.

"How superficial." The Holy Lord shook his head. "I said long ago that once the gates of hell are opened, there will be as much money and wealth as you want."

“This is the wisdom of the ancients.” The Holy Lord pointed to his head.

"You're quite talkative," Zhou Lan said.

"Hey, after all, it's not easy for you to remember me and bring me out again. That's quite an achievement." The Holy Lord spread his hands.

"Um... can I interrupt?" Princess Emerald, who had been left out, suddenly raised her hand.

Just now, she saw Zhou Lan fiddle with something for a while, seemingly sending a message, and then open a golden door, from which this guy came out.

At first, the other party was in a strange shape, but in the blink of an eye it turned into a human shape, but that doesn't matter in this world.

The two of them chatted familiarly, and she was left out in the cold for a while.

"Is there a problem?" The Holy Lord looked at Emerald.

Emerald silently pointed to the Eclipse Gate: "I think we should deal with this gate and the dragon behind it first..."

She looked at Zhou Lan: "Lord Zhou Lan, is this the helper you invited?"

Emerald was somewhat hesitant. The Holy Lord had not displayed his power in front of her, and even acted somewhat frivolously, so she was a little skeptical about what was to come.

“That’s right, this is my brother.” Zhou Lan nodded slightly and glanced at the Holy Lord.

“He’s not particularly strong, but everyone has their own expertise. I prefer to leave professional tasks to professionals. He’s quite skilled in dragon-related matters.”

Actually, there was one more thing Zhou Lan didn't say, which was also the main reason he summoned the Holy Lord.

He was worried that the old dragon, who was staying at home all the time, would be too bored, so he simply called him out to get some fresh air.

As for the dragon.

Ten thousand? One hundred thousand? Or more?

That doesn't matter.

Of the three people here, two could easily solve this problem.

“Is that so…?” Emerald’s voice trailed off.

A subtle expression flashed across the Holy Lord's face, and he sighed, saying, "Only you, brother, could say such a thing."

He, the Holy Lord, is not strong?

He would have to refute anyone who said that.

But when Zhou Lan spoke, he really had nothing to say.

After all, he is a powerful older brother. What else can he do but endure it?

Chapter 383 Direct Recruitment by the Holy Lord

In fact, the Holy Lord understood Zhou Lan's thoughts.

His intelligence has long since returned.

If there are problems that even Zhou Lan can't solve, then involving him would be pointless.

Calling him "Bo Gang" would be better; who knows how big that guy has gotten now?

However, my elder brother simply didn't want to say it outright.

“Well, I guess it seems there are some enemies I need to deal with.” The Holy Lord straightened his clothes. “That means there’s going to be a fight, right?”

Zhou Lan nodded and said, "That's right."

He looked at the Gate of Eclipse: "Four hundred years ago, the enemy was just some small flying creatures. I think you can handle them. As for me, I'll cheer you on."

Upon hearing this, the Holy Lord smiled.

He said helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. I'm your number one henchman, so I have to do this kind of job."

He suddenly turned his head and asked, "Where's Ximu? How's his recovery going?"

Zhou Lan pointed to the ceiling: "I'm busy with my assessment. As for my strength, it has improved quite a bit compared to before. I think I can take you all back together after the assessment is over."

"What we need to do now is prepare some small rewards for his assessment."

"Understood." The Holy Lord nodded and stood in front of the Eclipse Gate, saying, "Then let's begin."

Jade didn't know where the two people in front of her got their confidence from, but Zhou Lan gave off a very convincing vibe.

With Zhou Lan's help, she has prepared everything she needs to open the Eclipse Gate.

Whether it's magic or a token.

Right now, all we need to do is open this door.

She felt a surge of nervousness.

That's a dragon. Even just one, or even just any dragon that isn't the king, is enough to cause massive destruction in the real world.

Those were the masters of this continent hundreds of years ago.

Even the magic that was improved by this race and passed on to humans is enough to put these dragon slayer mages at the top of the magical food chain.

And enemies like this.

More than ten thousand.

Jade felt she must have been bewitched.

She should now find the kingdom's top leadership and hold a meeting that lasts at least a month, ideally gathering the strength of the entire nation and even more countries to discuss how to handle this matter.

But Zhou Lan said it was possible, and she couldn't help but believe it.

The man before her possessed an inexplicable magic; whatever he said, Emerald couldn't help but believe it.

Right now, they've found a helper.

Jade suddenly fell into a very strange panic.

On one hand, she feared the ten thousand dragons behind the door, which were time bombs hidden in the future, enough to bring destruction and apocalypse.

The fate of the kingdom rested heavily on her shoulders; it was an imminent crisis.

On the other hand, she actually agreed with Zhou Lan's idea, and with just a few of them, they rushed behind the door to resolve the crisis.

She trusted Zhou Lan, but she wasn't confident that they had the ability to resolve everything.

The tangled thoughts were like a vicious cycle, trapping her in them and making her act both recklessly and anxiously.

She was practically gambling that Zhou Lan could do it, gambling with the fate of the entire Fiore Kingdom.

Her palms were sweating, and she bit her lip tightly.

I am always conflicted inside, wandering and drifting in doubt.

It sounds strange, but women are often indeed like that.

“You look a little nervous, my friend,” the Holy Lord said to Emerald.

The other party nodded silently.

"Relax," the Holy Lord said sarcastically.

Jade finally let out a heavy breath, as if she had made a decision in her heart.

This door will always be opened, if not today, then sometime tomorrow. If they don't open it, it will eventually be forced open by the apocalypse behind it.

She has to make a choice.

"Let it be today." She seemed to have lost all her strength as she reached out her hand toward the Gate of Eclipse.

A vast magical force rushed in from afar, like a raging underground river, surging through the dark depths and heading towards the Gate of Eclipse.

On the door, intricate patterns shimmered with tiny points of light.

It really can be done!

Just as Zhou Lan said, this door really can be opened!

At the same time, a massive shockwave erupted from underground, shooting straight overhead.

Jade's expression tightened: "The opening of the Eclipse Gate is quite a commotion, and the arena is right above it. We should have notified the Grand Magic Games to take a break beforehand..."

The tightly closed door had never been opened before, and she had never anticipated such a change.

Zhou Lan, however, showed no sign of panic and simply said, "No need."

He raised his hand, and the whole world instantly fell silent.

The powerful tremors were contained underground, and everything returned to calm. A crack appeared in the door, and the aura and light from four hundred years ago finally shone through.

"I'm leaving." The Holy Lord strode into the doorway, his hands in his suit pockets.

Zhou Lan's figure flickered and disappeared into the light.

At the very back, Emerald gritted her teeth and cried out, "Wait for me!"

She couldn't help but witness this moment, even if behind the door lay a future she feared, even if stepping inside would likely mean the kingdom's princess's utter destruction.

But at this moment, something called responsibility overcame the fear.

Without a capable and responsible leader, how could the Kingdom of Fiore have achieved its current prosperity?

Stepping through the door, the world changes in an instant.
