Chapter 249: Power? A Joke

A thousand meters away, a look of terror appeared on Liang You's face.

"Run!"

Even the invincible God of the Sky had been defeated; what did he have left to fight with?

Daxia is invincible.

But in the next second, a piercing pain suddenly struck his chest.

He clutched his chest, his eyes filled with terror, and his breath was already gone.

His path to godhood had ended before it had even begun.

In a conference room in Li Zhu Country.

All the council members looked at the projection, their faces showing panic.

"What should we do?"

"That trash Liang You, how could he lead Kong to Daxia!"

They looked at the figure in the surveillance footage, their eyes filled with inexplicable horror.

But suddenly, in the image, that white-robed man looked over, a faint smile on his face, his gaze directed straight at the people in the conference room.

"He wouldn't..."

A look of terror grew in the hearts of many council members.

"Ah!"

A scream rang out at this moment.

All the council members clutched their stomachs, a cramping pain spreading through their hearts, and their breath was cut off in an instant.

These politicians, who once held great power and stood at the pinnacle of the world, died in an instant, like chicks.

At this moment, all kinds of information were flooding the internet in Great Xia Country.

"A terrifying giant gorilla creature has appeared on Liuli Snow Mountain!"

"Black Marsh Divine Might Spear reappears, a great battle against the black gorilla!"

"Small town in imminent danger, white-robed Immortal saves the world!"

"Army assembles and rushes to the Snow Mountain!"

"Daxia ahead, gods and demons forbidden to pass!"

All kinds of comments and videos appeared.

The videos and pictures that appeared this time were more numerous and clearer than the last.

Of course, they were only spreading within a small circle and did not cause much of an impact.

In a hotel, Lin Moyu looked at the pictures, a look of shock flashing in his heart: "Supernatural... it really exists!"

He had been searching for the Supernatural, only to resurrect his late wife.

Looking at the videos and pictures, he decided to head to Liuli Snow Mountain.

However, there were still many people online who held different opinions regarding the news about Liuli Snow Mountain.

"Too fake. Why didn't this Immortal Photoshop it a bit more? Why isn't there golden light on his body? Why isn't he stepping on auspicious clouds?"

"Indeed, this gorilla is just big, a mortal body; it clearly doesn't know the power of modern weapons."

"Why is there so much marketing for Liuli Snow Mountain lately? Are they rich now?"

"It's true, I'm at the scene, I'm the hair on the gorilla's body!"

"Failed the college entrance exam, I'm going to practice Immortal Cultivation!"

The internet was buzzing with discussion, and many people began to argue.

Some thought it was fake, others thought it was true.

All kinds of quarrels continued for a long time without ending.

People's perceptions are fixed and very difficult to change.

It is worth noting that the male streamer who once spouted nonsense on Liuli Snow Mountain really did livestream eating excrement.

At the time, it attracted hundreds of thousands of viewers.

However, immediately after, this streamer's channel was banned for streaming vulgar content, and his account was harmonized across the entire network.

At this time, Chen Longxuan sat in front of the computer, his face full of anger.

He thought for a moment and continued typing.

"You Li Zhu Country people are too disgusting, shifting the disaster of Kong onto us!"

At this time, he was logged into a niche Supernatural Forum.

This forum gathered people from all over the world who were interested in the Supernatural.

Among them, people from Great Xia Country and Li Zhu Country were the most numerous.

Last time, Chen Longxuan learned about the Kong incident on this very forum.

After witnessing the events on Liuli Snow Mountain, he posted a thread on this forum.

Naturally, it was attacked by many people from Li Zhu Country.

"We didn't drive Kong over, do you have any evidence?"

"It must be because you Daxia people have done too many bad things that Kong went over there."

"Flies don't bite seamless eggs."

There were countless comments of this nature.

Chen Longxuan was angry and replied again: "Unfortunately, it didn't go as you wished. Our Daxia has a profound foundation; Kong was slain by our Daxia's Immortal!"

Instantly, a reply appeared.

"Daxia has Immortals, and we in Li Zhu Country also have gods, vampires, and elves.

That Kong, perhaps also seeing that our Li Zhu Country has too many powerhouses, didn't dare to act wildly, and only then ran off to your Daxia in the end."

"When your air force was annihilated, when the small town was destroyed, where were your gods and Blood Clan?

Kong came to our Daxia, yet he didn't cause a single death!

This is Daxia!"

"Mystery is strength, the unknown is greatness.

Our gods are simply disdaining to take action."

"Those who appear last are the true powerhouses."

Watching some of the arrogant comments from the people of Li Zhu Country, Chen Longxuan was incomparably furious.

"Shameless."

"If you have the ability, let the Immortals of your Daxia come to our Li Zhu Country?"

In the comment section, these people were emboldened and unconstrained.

Since Daxia has Immortals, then Li Zhu Country must certainly have powerful Supernaturals as well.

Otherwise, Li Zhu Country would not be one of the Overlords of the current world, and internationally, Daxia Country would not be a head shorter than Li Zhu Country.

"Not to mention anything else, just the Sky God of the Fukong Sect is not something that Immortal of your Daxia can compare to!"

"Your own luck is bad, yet you shift the blame onto our Li Zhu Country, what a joke."

"Hard-mouthed." Chen Longxuan replied with a sentence, and it took a long time for him to calm his mood.

However, he was also vigilant.

Daxia Country has Immortals; Li Zhu Country is able to become a powerful nation, so perhaps it also has equivalent powerhouses.

This is worth fearing.

But no matter what, Li Zhu Country's sinister intention of leading Kong to Daxia is disgusting.

Chen Longxuan wished he could transform into an Immortal and, following the internet cable, stab those foul-mouthed people to death one by one!

Of course, he was not.

Li Zhu Country.

Jading State.

In a bustling city, Li Guoliang was wearing somewhat ill-fitting clothes, a look of dejection on his face.

Just a moment ago, he had been fired by his company.

The reason was that a member of the same team had made discriminatory remarks about Daxia people while at work.

He couldn't hold it in for a moment and retorted a few times.

Then, he was called in by his superior for a talk; the other party had long prepared a voice recorder and specifically used words to induce him into admitting he had made a work error, causing the company huge losses.

Just like that, he was forced to resign voluntarily, and couldn't even get severance pay.

In this foreign land, it was too difficult for him to file a lawsuit to protect his own rights and interests.

Nowadays, he had two children in college at home, and the expenses were quite high.

Losing this job meant his family lost its source of income.

Thinking of this problem, Li Guoliang felt a toothache.

He prepared to go to the supermarket later to stock up on some noodles and live simply for now.

Just at this moment, a car sped past, nearly knocking him over.

A hand grabbed him, and only then did Li Guoliang avoid the outcome of being hit.

Li Guoliang was still shaken: "Thank you."

When he saw the face of the person in front of him clearly, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

"Lin Chao? Are you Lin Chao? Why did you come here?

You still remember me, right? I am your uncle!

Back then, when your Third Grandfather passed away, I met with you." A look of pleasant surprise appeared on Li Guoliang's face.

Meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land is always something that makes people happy.

The dejection and loss from just now were also diluted quite a bit.

"Uncle Guoliang, I remember." Lin Chao smiled; anyway, with elders, the forms of address were confusing, so he just called everyone uncle.

Li Guoliang was a distant relative of his.

If traced back, he was the son of the cousin of Lin Chao's grandfather.

Back then, when Lin Chao's father left home to work and was short on money, this uncle had helped out and also exchanged the train ticket for Lin Chao's father.

His father had mentioned that on that forty-plus-hour train ride, he had bought a standing ticket, and Li Guoliang had changed it to a sleeper ticket for him.

His father had recounted this matter many times.

However, ever since Li Guoliang's mother passed away, the kinship could be considered broken.

Plus, everyone was rushing about for a living, scattered across the country, making it very hard to meet again.

"When did you come here?"

"I just arrived today. There is an exchange program at school with a university here, so I followed along." Lin Chao stole the reason Qi Xueyan had for coming to Li Zhu Country.

"Not bad, you've made something of yourself." Li Guoliang patted Lin Chao on the shoulder, "This is your first time here, right? Let's go, Uncle will treat you to a big meal!"

Lin Chao smiled and did not refuse.

He had plenty of time and was not in a rush for this moment.

The two of them soon arrived at a Li-style restaurant.

"Order whatever you want to eat; it's rare to come here, so you must eat well.

The food here doesn't taste quite as good as back home, but the fish at this restaurant is unique, something rarely seen in our country."

Li Guoliang chattered on without stopping.

Lin Chao knew that this uncle was a kind-hearted old man, had a good reputation, and was also very loyal.

If there were any shortcomings?

That would be... being a bit too loyal and caring too much about saving face.

Back then, in order to change Lin Chao's father's standing ticket into a sleeper ticket, he was scolded quite a bit by his wife.

"Don't be reluctant to order expensive things; your uncle has been knocking about here for over ten years, so I can still afford to pay for a meal."

Perhaps because he saw an old acquaintance, or perhaps because he had drunk some alcohol, Li Guoliang was very talkative.

"Still, the liquor from our Daxia is better to drink; it has a stronger kick."

Lin Chao did not drink alcohol, eating the food casually while chatting with Li Guoliang at will.

The two chatted about Lin Chao's father, then about Lin Chao's studies, and also about his future work.

"To be honest, after you graduate in the future, try your best not to work abroad.

You might earn a bit more money here, but..."

"Mm." Lin Chao nodded, acting as a qualified listener.

Just at this moment, a voice came from nearby, the voice carrying a hint of mockery: "Guoliang, I heard you quarreled with your colleagues, attacked Li Zhu Country, and were finally fired by the company?"

"Fan Bin, they were the ones who attacked our Daxia first; are you saying I'm not allowed to fight back?"

Fan Bin was originally from Daxia and was from a partner company of Li Guoliang's former company.

However, Fan Bin was an immigrant who had always looked down on Daxia and often belittled Daxia in the open or in secret in the past.

"Actually, I think what your colleague said makes a lot of sense.

Daxia people have no awe in their hearts and no bottom line in what they do, like robbers, unlike Li Zhu people, who have noble qualities flowing in their bones." Fan Bin had a smile on his face.

"Fan Bin, if you don't want me to splash this wine on your face, leave now." Li Guoliang still suppressed the anger in his heart.

The smile on Fan Bin's face remained cheap: "Guoliang, with your personality, sigh, no wonder you've been knocking about for so many years and are still just an Ordinary employee."

After speaking, Fan Bin left.

Li Guoliang drank the wine in his glass in one gulp and slowly opened his mouth: "Lin Chao, I've made you see a joke."

"This Fan Bin is the one who looks like a joke."

"Haha, sigh." Li Guoliang laughed loudly, but there was some bitterness in his smile, "There are many people in Li Zhu Country who exclude Daxia people.

That would be fine, but people like Fan Bin also slander Daxia; it's simply disgusting."

Lin Chao ate his food.

The thoughts of people like Fan Bin were very easy to guess.

Having immigrated abroad and paid a huge cost, in order to prove that their decision was correct, wouldn't they keep slandering how bad Daxia is?

It's just like arguing or debating on the internet; even if you put the evidence in front of the other party, the other party will turn a blind eye and will not admit their own mistakes.

Of course, not everyone is like this.

Some people immigrate because they have their own reasons and choices.

"Sigh, in recent years, Li Zhu Country's exclusion of Daxia has a lot to do with this newly appointed Speaker. When he gives speeches, he often can't go three sentences without mentioning our Daxia, and he has also issued many policies unfavorable to our Daxia. It's hard for us Daxia people who come to Li Zhu Country to work."

Li Guoliang sighed and drank another glass of wine.

Lin Chao's gaze was calm: "Uncle Guoliang, are you interested in being the Speaker of Li Zhu Country?"

"What?" Li Guoliang didn't react for a moment, then laughed, "Haha, I'm interested. If I were the Speaker of Li Zhu Country, the first thing I would do is..."

Li Guoliang naturally took this as a joke.

First of all, how could Li Zhu Country let a Daxia person be the Speaker?

Unless Li Zhu Country was occupied by Daxia, which is impossible.

Even if it were occupied, it would probably still be Li Zhu people serving as Speaker.

Secondly, what qualifications did he have to be the Speaker?

He wouldn't even dare to have such a dream.

"If Uncle Guoliang really had this opportunity, would you be willing?" Lin Chao smiled.

"Hahaha, let me think." Li Guoliang was very open-minded and could take a joke, "If there were no threat to my life, I could play around with it."

"Mm." Lin Chao responded.

The two ate their meal for over an hour.

Li Guoliang finally finished paying and left with Lin Chao.

"Lin Chao, if you encounter anything, give me a call.

Your uncle is here, so there's someone to look out for you, isn't there?"

"Okay." Lin Chao smiled, "Goodbye, Uncle Guoliang."

"Goodbye." Li Guoliang watched Lin Chao's back disappear. He looked at the bill, a flash of pain in his eyes, "Looks like I'll have to eat instant noodles for a long time."

"Eh? It actually only charged for one person's table fee?"

Li Guoliang was in a good mood, threw the bill into the trash can, and then hailed a taxi to go home.

Night fell upon Jading State, with bright lights and colorful decorations everywhere.

High-rise buildings and neon lights illuminated the night, as if it were daytime.

Hot girls dressed revealingly, trendy men who didn't return home all night, and old men setting up stalls late at night all together formed a portrait of all living things.

The beautiful scenery was right before his eyes, but Lin Chao was only a passing traveler, unable to linger.

He stopped in front of a manor.

In this manor, there resides the most powerful and wealthy man in Jading State.

PS: The upcoming plot might be a bit outrageous, hahaha, but let's just keep it that way.

Thanks to 【Goodnight to the Whole World】 for the tip, thank you!
