The black-robed, golden-haired Divine Envoy took out the magical orb, his divine power surging as he infused it while he muttered a series of complex and mysterious incantations.
The magical orb erupted in blinding radiance.
A pillar of light shot towards the horizon.
The few Sacred Warriors and Sacred Mages also infused their energy into the magic ball. In an instant, the light from the magic ball became even more dazzling than before.
"Sacrifice!"
The black-robed Divine Envoy suddenly cried out in Ancient Greek.
The Saint-level warriors and Saint-level Magi all looked at each other, somewhat hesitant.
"Trash!"
The Divine Envoy bellowed in rage. "Sacrifice your lifeforce and lifespan to connect the dimensional altar and receive the arrival of Godfather and the other gods. Godfather would grant you new life and divinity, and you would become living beings with endless lifespan and divine power!"
There was a passionate glint in the eyes of the sacred warriors and sacred mages, and all of them charged their energies to inject their lifeforce into the magical orb.
The pillar of light that shot towards the horizon thickened by several notches.
"Tut, tut."
Jiang He clicked his tongue in wonder and could not help chuckling. "You don't say. These western elites are all experts at brainwashing. They would be able to swindle a lot of people if they were allowed to engage in multi-level marketing."
"That has always been the case with western elites."
Jin Sidao added. "The western gods love the power of faith, and they had gone through a lot of trouble to spread their faith, such as the God of Light, the God of Earth, and the God of Darkness. They even had people specially write stories to spread across the western lands."
"That has a lot to do with the eastern cultivators looking down on the useless pantheon."
One of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect's Heavenly Immortal sneered. "Cultivators cultivate to understand nature and strengthen themselves. Cultivating with the power of faith of mortals is just an unorthodox path."
Right at this moment, heaven and earth suddenly trembled.
The sacred warriors and sacred mages who had been pouring their lifeforce into the magical orb were rapidly losing their lifeforce, becoming white-haired and immeasurably old before collapsing limply to the ground.
The black-robed, golden-haired Divine Envoy promptly threw the magical orb into the air, whipping out a dagger and stabbing it into his own chest. Then, he dropped to one knee, letting the blood flow out of his chest as he looked up and cried out in Ancient Greek.
His face was filled with devotion.
The blood was flowing.
The black-haired, golden-robed man was, after all, a God.
Bleeding a little was nothing.
The blood from his heart flowed to the ground and converged into a stream.
The blood flowed and formed an altar on the ground.
The light emitted by the floating magic orb shone on the altar.
At this moment, heaven and earth changed color.
Dark clouds covered the sky, and the originally sunny day instantly turned into night. The pillar of light emitted by the magic ball seemed dazzling, but it didn't drive away any darkness.
"Hmm?"
Jiang He's gaze twitched, and he promptly looked up at the skies.
He sensed a violent spatial fluctuation. There seemed to be some kind of power that wanted to tear apart the "sky" of Earth.
Meanwhile.
China.
Martial Arts Department (MAD) headquarters.
Wang Hou promptly rose to his feet, stars swirling in his eyes as he used the power of the Star Map to look toward outer space. He found a Divine Mountain slowly drifting toward him, and was just about to fly out to investigate when Jiang He's voice echoed in his head, "Don't worry, Minister Wang."
Right now, Jiang He was a full-fledged Grand Luo.
Although he was overseas, he could "see" Marquis's every move with his immortal senses.
Wang Hou could not help laughing, and sat down again.
Jiang He?
That fellow said he was going to cause trouble for the Pantheon of the West … and it was already starting?
It was really swift and decisive!
…
Kaboom!
The world shook.
Countless people across the West felt the violent tremors, and all looked up at the skies.
It was nighttime at the Hua Nation.
But it was still daytime in the West.
Although the area where the Divine Emissary was located was shrouded in darkness, this darkness only covered a radius of 150 kilometers. Furthermore, the plain where he was located was desolate and uninhabited to begin with, so the people in the other regions didn't notice anything unusual.
Still, some elites noticed the pillar of light that pierced heaven and earth.
Still, before they could check, the skies … split open.
The silhouette of a massive Divine Mountain slowly materialized.
Countless people in the West were able to clearly see this scene.
"Haha!"
Jiang He could not help laughing as he watched on in secret.
"The western gods are quite interesting … they refracted light to radiate the image of the Divine Mountain's descent to the West … could they have caused such a huge commotion so that it would be easier for them to spread their divine energy in the future?"
He looked at the divine mountain that was gradually descending from the 'sky' and said, "This divine mountain is not bad. It must have been refined by the Western Gods with their divine power. Countless Gods and countless years of refinement have turned this divine mountain into a treasure that is comparable to a Superior Acquired Spiritual Treasure …"
The Divine Mountain's descent was very slow.
Clearly, the western gods had done it on purpose.
They refracted light to radiate the image of the Divine Mountain's descent across the West in order to expand their influence. Would it not go against their original intentions if it descended too quickly?
Soon, the Divine Mountain reached halfway up the mountain.
Veins of divine light shot out from halfway up the mountain, conjuring veins of miracles in the skies.
"Miracles!"
"It's a miracle!"
"The gods of the West have returned!"
There were people cheering across the West.
They knelt and worshiped.
There was no lack of 'believers' that the Divine Envoys had arranged beforehand, and with them spreading the word and leading the way, more people knelt on the ground.
"Those people have a good idea!"
Jiang He could not help laughing.
He suddenly appeared in a flash before the black-robed Divine Envoy who was kneeling on the ground.
"Who goes there?"
The black-robed Divine Envoy was stunned. His vision went dark just as he was about to rise, and he soon lost consciousness.
Jiang He reached out and grabbed the Divine Envoy who had slipped away, and waited until Jin Sidao and the others arrived before him before saying, "Take Xiao Wang with you. We're going up."
"Going up?"
Jin Sidao was a little confused.
To where?
Jiang He chuckled. "The western gods are returning in a high-profile manner, intending to expand their influence and recruit a large number of believers … how could I let them do as they wish?"
As he spoke, the space around him rippled, and his figure appeared out of thin air under the refraction of spatial energy.
Aside from him, Jin Sidao and the others appeared out of thin air as well.
The simple manipulation of spatial energy allowed even mortals who were thousands of miles away to clearly see the figures up in the air.
All across the western lands, the people who had been kneeling on the ground were suddenly left dumbstruck.
What …
What was going on?
At the same time, the 'believers' whom the black-robed Divine Envoy had arranged among the crowds in various cities were at first taken aback … What was going on? The Divine Envoy did not mention it beforehand, but at this juncture, it was up to them to act freely.
"These are the gods, the gods hidden on Earth …"
"But …"
Someone exclaimed in surprise, "Those people have black hair and black eyes, and they look like Asians …"
Without waiting for more people to raise questions or refute, they heard a thunderous roar resounding through the heavens and earth —
"Who's the boss, gods of the west? Come out and face me! "
"What the hell? How dare you hurt my brother?"
Snikt!
A sword light pierced heaven and earth as it shot towards the Divine Mountain.
The Yuan Killer Sword!
With Jiang He's current abilities, he could definitely cut the Divine Mountain in half with a single swing of the Yuan Killer Sword, but he did not do so … at most, he had the Yuan Killer Sword stop beneath the Divine Mountain …
After all, he was here to reason with the western gods.
Jiang He did not forget his original intentions.
Kaboom!
The Divine Mountain violently quaked.
Halfway through its descent, the Divine Mountain abruptly paused, and divine light flickered upon it.
The gods on the mountain …
They were rather bewildered.
What …
What was going on?
Our show is not over yet, and there's already an accident?
One of the gods, his entire body burning in flames, took to the air and roared in rage, "Insolent fool, how dare you stop the Divine Mountain's descent …"
Snikt!
Jiang He did not give him the chance to spout nonsense and promptly invoked the Yuan Killer Sword. With a flash of sword light, he cut down the Divinity and sneered, "You're just a piece of trash, and you dare to yell at me?"
Even if he did not understand a single word the god was speaking in Ancient Greek, his tone …
"Who's the boss of the Divine Mountain?"
"Get your ass out here right now … I'll give you three seconds. If you don't come out, I'll slaughter the Divine Mountain today!"
Jiang He deliberately controlled the range of his voice … and it happened to be within the range of the Divine Mountain's refracted light, which left the people who had knelt down in sincere worship a little confused and at a loss.
The gods?
Was that the gods?
Legend had it that the gods were omnipotent. So why was a brat who was speaking scolded them as if they were his grandsons?
"Blasphemy! This is blasphemy against the gods …"
One of the 'believers' was wailing.
Suddenly, someone stepped out from the crowd and drew his blade, cutting down the 'believer' with a single slash. It turned out that he was a Hua Nation man, and he looked around before sneering, "Fools. What era are we in now? Do you still believe in the gods? "
"The so-called gods are just a bunch of powerful humans."
"If they really descend and rule over you, they would definitely implement the same system as they did thousands of years ago. When that happens, the so-called rule of law would cease to exist, and the freedom you believe in would become a complete joke."
The man was wearing black training garb and had a long blade slung over his back, speaking fluent English.
His cultivation was not weak.
He was a fifth-tier martial artist, Yin-Yang tier. His aura was powerful, and he had cultivated over twenty godly martial arts.
Jiang He knew him as well.
He was Three Blades Lin's senior brother, Pei Donglai of the military. He had once stood guard at Jiangnan, and when Jiang He killed the Black King Drake, Pei Donglai and Wang Hou had even cleaned up Jiang He's mess.
