Chapter 327 Clash of Gods
Chapter 327 Clash of Gods
The tragedy that befell the Zhong Group quickly spread across the entire internet!
"The entire Zhong family has been wiped out; all the high-ranking members are dead!"
"How is this possible? The Zhong family is one of the top conglomerates. How could it be wiped out like this? Even if other top conglomerates joined forces, they wouldn't have this ability."
"It's not a tycoon, it's a deity! A deity from China has appeared! The Zhong family worships an evil god, which has angered the deity. The video has spread all over the internet!"
Various messages spread like wildfire, and despite the efforts of major official websites to control public opinion, they continued to circulate wildly in private.
"There's something wrong with the gods!"
"I knew it! Western gods have nothing to do with us, so why should we worship them?"
"Let's wait and see. When gods fight, mortals are most likely to be affected. Doing nothing and believing no one is the best course of action!"
In an instant, the blood of the Zhong family poured a bucket of cold water on the almost frenzied land of China, calming many people down.
At the same time, major corporations hurriedly dispatched personnel to investigate.
After all, the Zhong family, such a behemoth, disappeared in a single day. Who wouldn't panic?
They assembled elite troops for defense, and strategic nuclear weapons were deployed, for fear of being secretly eliminated.
But at that very moment, another piece of news broke—
"The Sanhe Group was wiped out, and blood stained the entire building!"
Sanhe Group was also one of the first groups to kneel before the gods. On that day, pictures circulating online showed blood flowing around the group, countless soldiers dying, strategic nuclear weapons being destroyed, and the heads of Sanhe Group's top executives hanging on flagpoles!
It was truly horrific.
"Holy crap, the Sanhe Group even launched nuclear weapons, and they still got wiped out?"
"There was no time to react at all; even the nuclear bombs were destroyed. What kind of power is this?"
"An immortal, absolutely a true immortal!"
Public opinion was in an uproar!
"What exactly happened? Has Young Master Henry replied yet?!"
At this moment, the top management of the Li Group are all extremely anxious and worried.
They had left the company building and gone to a secluded mountain villa in the suburbs to hold an emergency meeting.
"not yet……"
Someone spoke up: "Judging from the current situation, even if the person who made the move is not a true immortal, their strength is definitely above the Nascent Soul level. We have done research and found that to counter nuclear weapons, one must be a cultivator of this level."
"This person must be from ancient times."
Their expressions were solemn.
Li Chengyuan's face was extremely grim. He gritted his teeth and said, "All high-ranking officials, disperse immediately and find a place to live in seclusion. Do not come out until Young Master Henry has dealt with this person!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.
The Li family is simply going to retreat into their shell!
"Wouldn't retreating at the last minute displease Young Master Henry?"
Someone asked hesitantly.
"Survival is the most important thing!"
Li Chengyuan's face was gloomy as he said, "Our clan's chosen one will soon return from beyond the realm. The most important thing now is to lie low!"
On that day, the Li Group's top executives were all gone, the entire group was paralyzed, employees at all levels were in an uproar, and the news spread, surprising even the whole of China.
"Did the Li family just flee?"
"Wow, is this immortal really that powerful? The once high and mighty Li family has become like a stray dog!"
"Damn it, the Li family doesn't even maintain the temples they built. They just run away when something happens, and they still want us to have faith in them? What a load of rubbish!"
Various voices scoffed at Li's escape, thinking she was cowardly!
But what happened next completely reversed Li's public image—
"The Liu Group has been wiped out!"
"Yaoxing Group has been wiped out!"
"The Navigator Group has been wiped out!"
……
In just one day, nine more major groups were wiped out, all of which were large groups not much different from Zhong's and Sanhe Group!
"The Li family... they really had foresight."
"He ran fast and survived; the Li family has a master."
"My Chinese immortals are awe-inspiring throughout the world! What kind of bullshit Western evil gods should get lost!"
With all the major powers in power wiped out, a vacuum was created in society, and in an instant, freedom of speech flourished, and previously suppressed voices were suddenly heard.
"Yes, we should worship the totems of Chinese civilization, not those evil gods!"
"Don't go and worship those evil gods. It's not worth risking your life for a little money!"
"Nobody believes that, whether in China or the West, the so-called gods are nothing more than more powerful cultivators. As long as we become strong, we can also slaughter the gods!"
"Yes, are kings and nobles born with a special destiny? The strong are respected. Fellow Daoists, you should strive to become stronger!"
Having lost control of power, the faith that had been gradually gathering towards the major temples suddenly dissipated, leaving utter chaos!
……
And this moment.
The Lee Group.
"Young Master Henry, what should we do?"
In the conference room of the group's building, Gu Ruoxu, Jiang Zhigong, and others all had extremely grim expressions.
The messages kept coming, filling them with dread and extreme fear.
In just a few days, almost all the forces that chose to worship the gods were wiped out, and now only the Restorationists Group remains!
Will they be next?
If it weren't for Henry being there, they might have fled long ago like the Lee family.
"Don't panic!"
However, Henry's face was grim as he said, "The one who made the move was not some ancient immortal!"
—Upon learning of the Zhong family's annihilation, he immediately reported it to those officials.
The officials gave a simple order: Bai Ruijie should speed up the refining process of the furnace and offer the spirit of the artifact to their idol as soon as possible!
"China is in too much chaos right now, and urgently needs a joyous event to calm people's hearts."
Henry suddenly spoke up, saying, "Bai Ruijie and the heir of the Fudao Group should get married."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhigong, Gu Ruoxu, and the others exchanged bewildered glances. At this critical juncture, why should Bai Ruijie and Cheng Yusu get married?
"Correct!"
At this moment, Yang Lianlu also spoke up, saying, "This wedding will be blessed by the gods. In order to show the firm determination of our Fudao Group to worship the gods, the wedding will be held in the Kyoto Temple. In addition, those who do not believe in the gods will be arrested and burned to death as a sign of piety!"
His words were solemn.
Gu Ruoxu, Jiang Zhigong, and the others all tensed up, instantly understanding.
The wedding was just a pretext; Henry and Yang Lianlu's real purpose was to stage a demonstration!
Now that the ancient Chinese immortal has emerged and swept across the world, forbidding people from worshipping the evil Western gods, the Fudao Group, which holds sway over the world, is holding a grand wedding in a temple and burning those who do not believe in the gods. This is a high-profile statement, tantamount to declaring war on that ancient Chinese immortal!
"Brother Yang, in that case, that ancient immortal will likely arrive. Even if we launch all our nuclear missiles, it probably won't be of any use..."
Gu Ruoxu spoke nervously, completely unaware of the source of Yang Lianlu and Henry's confidence in doing so!
Let alone the Dao Restoration Group, even the Global Alliance would be like ants in the face of an existence like the ancient immortals of China.
"Brother Gu, there's no need to worry,"
Yang Lianlu simply smiled and said, "So what if they are immortals? In this world, the most powerful will always be the gods!"
Have you ever seen a god?
Gu Ruoxu shook his head, a hint of doubt flashing through his mind.
"If that so-called ancient Chinese immortal dares to appear at your wedding, then you'll have a chance."
Yang Lianlu smiled and said, "By the way, Deng Huaigu, Xia Qingzhu and others were disrespectful to the gods before. This time, let's burn them as well."
His words were casual and nonchalant, and Gu Ruoxu and the others' expressions changed slightly, but they dared not object and could only nod silently!
……
News of the Fudao Group quickly spread across major websites.
"The Restorer Group is going to hold the wedding of its successor at the temple?"
"Damn, they dare to do this at this critical juncture? Aren't they afraid of incurring the wrath of the immortals of China?"
"They did it on purpose! During the wedding, they will burn the heretics who do not believe in the gods. I heard that Elder Deng Huaigu of the Fudao Group and Xia Qingzhu, the proud daughter of heaven who won the Taishan Tournament, will also be burned!"
"The Fudao Group is so confident, could it be that there is really something behind them that can rival the ancient immortals of China?"
A tremendous tremor shook the four directions.
Meanwhile, invitations were sent to various powerful forces.
"Li Chengyuan of the Li family, along with important family members, has arrived at the headquarters of the Fudao Group to attend a wedding!"
“A collateral descendant of the Zhong family also went there, expressing his continued support for the temple’s cause!”
"A general manager of Sanhe Group, who had previously escaped the massacre of his entire family, is now gone too!"
Previously silenced by Li Lan's forceful suppression, various forces are now making statements, becoming extremely high-profile.
"This is a decisive battle!"
"Yes, I can feel it. The final showdown between the two camps is about to begin!"
"Ancient Chinese immortals and Western gods... It's a pity that our cultivation levels are too low; we are simply unable to participate in this battle!"
The thick smell of gunpowder spread throughout the world, and everyone realized the chill behind this wedding!
……
And this moment.
He finally couldn't hold back anymore.
On a yacht in the Pacific Ocean, stunning beauties from all over the world are dancing wildly, the captivating rhythms swaying with the waves. Meanwhile, three men sit in a luxurious cabin, swirling their glasses of red wine.
One of the blond middle-aged men smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Even if we get reincarnation, so what? An ant is still just an ant."
Another burly man with a dark complexion and a robust physique said, "Mo Lang, don't be careless. Those chosen by reincarnation deserve to be treated with caution!"
The third man was pale, like a vampire, incredibly handsome but with a sickly air. He said listlessly, "Cang Hao is right, the land of China is extraordinary. Who knows if those ancestral gods left any contingency plans?"
The blond middle-aged man, Morang, downed his red wine in one gulp, looked at the handsome but sickly man, and said, "Very well, Qin Zhong, you came from China and understand China better, so what do you suggest we do?"
Qin Zhong said, "Make thorough preparations. If anything unexpected happens, activate the Milky Way Array and borrow the power of the Divine Realm."
Morang pondered for a moment and said, "The Milky Way Array has been restarted, and breaking it will not be easy..."
Qin Zhong said, "I have already made arrangements."
“Li Daozhi of the Li family is just outside the Milky Way Array. He has blood relatives on the Imperial Star. I have already had the Li family plant spies in Mount Song and Mount Tai, enough to pry open a corner of the mountain…”
Upon hearing this, both Mo Lang and Cang Hao were surprised, and their eyes narrowed slightly.
They were unaware of this!
But Qin Zhong simply took a sip of wine, not from a glass, but from a bronze jue (a type of ancient Chinese wine vessel). The sorghum wine in the bronze jue had a strong, pungent aroma. After setting down the bronze jue, he said calmly:
"Perhaps we should now discuss the next topic... After many years of waiting, the Imperial Star Dojo is about to be completed, but among the three of us, who will be the God Emperor?"
……
Outside the Milky Way Array.
"How is it? Have you managed to get in touch, fellow Daoist?"
Jing Wuxia, the Jade Maiden of Cihang Holy Land, Huang Qing of the Huang Clan, Dugu Jue of the Dugu Clan, and others all looked at Li Daozhi expectantly.
Li Daozhi closed his eyes for a long time before slowly opening them, nodding, and saying, "I've made contact with the person Lady Nuba asked me to find."
"In a few days, we will be able to descend upon the Imperial Star!"
He paused, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and said, "Furthermore, Li Lan has also appeared on the Imperial Star. He has killed quite a few people!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed.
"Finally, we can go to the Imperial Star!"
"That bastard Li Lan has ruined us so much; he must be torn to pieces!"
They all spoke up.
"To open the Milky Way Array of the Imperial Star, we need the power of the Imperial Star's blood relatives as a guide. You two will also need to lend me a hand at that time."
Li Daozhi then turned around and glanced at Liu Guiyuan and Ling Xuewei.
Both of them were taken aback for a moment, and Ling Xuewei couldn't help but ask, "Are our families... all right on Earth?"
