"Your Majesty, we are useless. We were unable to conquer this city. Please punish us!" As soon as Chen Jiu arrived, the Ancient Dragon Army immediately bowed to him and admitted their guilt.
"Alright, please rise. You have worked hard. Leave the rest of the battle to me!" Chen Jiu, dressed in a dragon robe, arrived in the sky. His voice shook the heavens and reverberated in the air. "Believers of the gods in Mugui City, I advise you to surrender immediately and change your religion. Otherwise, you will be killed!"
"Ah, that's the Dragon Blood Emperor, Chen Jiu!" One of the old men flew up and roared, "You've gone too far, Chen Jiu! The Temple of the Gods is a transcendent entity, and we don't participate in any battles. Yet you're trying to use iron and blood to pacify us? That's treason and an insult to the dignity of the legion of gods! We'll fight you to the death!"
"That's right. We, the believers of the gods, swear to fight to the death with you!" Another middle-aged man stood out and roared in an imposing manner.
"The gods will not abandon us. Chen Jiu, wait for the punishment of our Pope!" The eight camps all resisted fiercely.
"Hmph, how stubborn!" Chen Jiu sneered and swept out his hand. Eight holy weapons lit up the sky and blinded the eyes of the crowd. They all stared in disbelief.
"No … this can't be true. How can you have the supreme holy weapon of our Pope? That is a gift from the gods. How can it be in your hands?" Countless voices of shock rang out from the mouths of the believers.
"I, Chen Jiu, have never been a bloodthirsty person. The Palace of the Gods is detached from worldly affairs and I can't be bothered with you. But did you see? The eight Popes actually joined forces and wanted to kill me. Fortunately, they were all killed by me! " Chen Jiu recounted what happened and said coldly, "Since the Palace of the Gods wants to kill me, what reason do I have to let you go?"
"This … So that's how it is. How could this be?" What many believers could not understand was that the eight Popes were detached from the world and had never been angry with anyone. How could they join forces to attack Chen Jiu?
Chen Jiu, you must have murdered the Pope and seized their Holy Weapon. You must have deliberately made up this lie! "In the end, many believers pushed all the blame onto Chen Jiu, and became even more resentful of him." Chen Jiu, this is not true. You must have killed the Pope and stolen their Holy Weapon.
"Everyone will know with a single look whether or not I'm lying. Besides, I dare to swear in the name of the Dragonblood Clan that if I'm lying in the slightest, we'll die a horrible death!" As Chen Jiu spoke, he took out a 3D Memory Crystal, which contained the brief battle process. There was no doubt that many popes had joined forces to besiege Chen Jiu!
"This … Why would our supreme, respected, and amiable Pope become so cruel?" Many believers were very confused.
Originally, they had been hot-blooded to protect the Palace of the Gods, but now that they were in the wrong, their fighting spirit was greatly weakened!
"Chen Jiu, even if our Pope is in the wrong, it's still their personal fault. Why do you have to involve us, the followers of the gods?" Immediately, another voice of questioning rang out.
"I don't want to implicate you. As long as you voluntarily withdraw from the Palace of the Gods, I'll give you a way out!" Chen Jiu said domineeringly. "If you insist on not understanding, don't blame me for being ruthless. Since your Popes have already stood on the opposite side of me, I won't allow you believers to continue living in the Empire!"
"You're being unreasonable. What right do you have to implicate us?" An unconvinced voice was heard again.
"What right do I have? Since everyone wants to know, I'll reveal the ugly face of the Gods to everyone today! " Chen Jiu decided to throw caution to the wind. "The reason why the eight Pontiffs have joined forces this time is that they are guided by the gods to get rid of me, the abandoned son of the gods!" he said boldly.
"The abandoned child of the Gods has been despised since ancient times. In fact, it's not that they're bad, but that the Gods don't like them, so they want to suppress and kill them. Tell me, since the Gods want to punish me, how can I allow their sect to continue to exist?" Chen Jiu's arrogant voice shook the air, and everyone was dumbfounded.
"What? So that's how it is … "Countless people finally understood that there was a reason why Chen Jiu hated the Palace of the Gods so much.
"Chen Jiu, you're going against the Gods. Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Gods?" Another old man shouted in dissatisfaction.
"Gods? Pooh! What punishment? I'm going to die. Why would I be afraid of being punished? " Chen Jiu said fearlessly, "I have nothing to lose. The Gods want to kill me, so I'll go against them. Even if I die, it's the glory of our human race. What do I have to be afraid of?"
"You … You're really incorrigible. People like you are destined to be punished by the Gods!" Countless people cursed again.
"Oh? It seems that some people are ready to defend the dignity of the Gods with their lives? Even if they know that they're in the wrong first, they're still stubbornly defending them? " Chen Jiu immediately sneered and said, "I'll give you 15 minutes. If you're willing to give up the faith of the Gods, leave the city immediately. I'll guarantee your safety. If you're not willing to come out, you'll all die!"
"This kid is too domineering. Is he really going to slaughter a million believers here?" Xuan Ling was stunned by Chen Jiu's attitude.
Boom! Even more domineering, Chen Jiu directly summoned the Devil's Gate. Three thousand Giant Fallen Spirits appeared, bloodthirsty and ferocious. They surrounded Mugui City cruelly, scaring the souls out of the countless believers inside!
"Devils, those are the devils recorded in the Battle of the Gods. Heavens, there are so many of them. We're going to be devoured by them!" Countless believers began to waver.
"I'm going out. I want to live. I'm giving up my faith!" Following the howl of one of the more cowardly ones, the rest could not hold it in any longer. A large group of people, regardless of whether they were afraid or truly understood Chen Jiu, walked out of Mugui City.
"Damn it! Come back! How could you abandon your faith so easily? Don't you want the blessings of the gods?" The old men were extremely angry.
"Is no one coming out? Last ten breaths. If no one comes out, then I won't hold back! "Chen Jiu's expression was cold, aloof and detached from the world. He no longer showed any emotion.
Just a moment ago, he had been a weakling who had bitterly accused the Gods of their crimes. Now, he had become an executioner.
"Chen Jiu, you're a devil incarnate. You're destined to be punished by the Gods!" A group of temple masters took the lead and shouted. "For the sake of the Gods, we swear to fight to the death!"
