Chapter 693

The entire hall.

Complete silence.

Over a thousand deities stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded, at Zhang Jingzhong.

They all doubted.

Whether their ears had betrayed them.

Nine-fold Golden Demigod?!

How could this be possible!

Our Starfall deities have only been on the Immortal Continent for twenty-five years!

Twenty-five years.

To mortals, it is naturally very long.

Roughly one-third of a lifetime.

But—

For deities,

it means nothing.

Many here

even after another hundred or five hundred years,

may never break through the Three-fold Bronze Demigod layer to ascend to Bai Yin Demigod.

And a Nine-fold Golden Demigod—

stands at the peak of the Demigod Layer.

To them,

that realm

was a dream they dared not entertain within two or three thousand years!

Yet—

now you tell me

someone reached that terrifying level in just twenty-five years?!

That's even less real than a dream!

Even the True Knowledge Goddess, who had always seemed serene and natural—

showed a change on her face.

She gazed at Zhang Jingzhong,

unsure whether to believe or not.

Twenty-five years to ascend to Nine-fold Golden Demigod.

This is utterly incredible.

Even though she had seen much under her teacher's tutelage,

she had never heard of such a thing.

Nor had they ever heard of such a thing.

it was simply impossible!

"Impossible!"

"Our Starfall deities have only been on the Immortal Continent for twenty-five years."

"How could anyone reach the Golden Demigod level?!"

Song Junhao drew a deep breath and declared firmly.

He did not believe it at all.

Golden Demigod.

That is a terrifying being qualified to ignite Divine Fire!

In the City of Deities,

how many deities have spent thousands of years without ever entering it?

Twenty-five years?

Utterly impossible!!

"Do none of you believe?"

"Or are you unwilling to accept a Nine-fold Golden Demigod as your leader?"

Zhang Jingzhong showed no anger; he looked at the deities and asked in return.

Zhang Jingzhong showed not the slightest anger; looking at the gods, he countered with a question.

Song Junhao's sudden proposal to form an alliance

had delighted him greatly.

Ten years ago,

he had informed Li Yue of this gathering of Starfall deities.

He then told Li Yue about this gathering of the Earth Star deities.

had given him an order.

To find a way to bring these Starfall deities under his control.

It was to find a way to bring these Earth Star deities here under his own command.

Although.

He didn't understand why my lord had given him such an order.

After all—

In his view,

the gods of Earth were too weak.

They should be of no help whatsoever to the revered my lord.

But my lord had given a command.

He could only obey.

Now—

Song Junhao's move

had done him a great favor.

Otherwise—

his prestige among the gods of Earth was low.

Few would respond to his proposal to form an alliance.

And leaking some of my lord's information—

he had specifically asked about it.

Only with my lord's terrifying realm

could these gods of Earth be easily subdued.

Li Yue, for his part—

didn't care much.

Becoming a Ninefold Golden Semi-God in twenty-five years was incredible.

But that was true only within the City of Gods.

Outside the City of Gods,

the offspring of High True Gods, even Supreme Lord Gods,

would have no trouble becoming Ninefold Golden Semi-Gods in twenty-five years.

His speed, if it spread,

His speed, if it got out,
