Chapter 196: Liberating Luojia

On the bridge.

Brilliant golden light floated in midair like a golden warm sun.

Xisi, one character at a time, "I am god".

Directly through divine power, it resonated on the soul level in the hearts of all Huaiyaners.

These Huaiyaners are not only the people on the bridge before us, nor is it the Radiant Queen.

Rather, they are all Huaiyaners on the orbit and on the surface at this moment.

The Huaiyaners who have already encountered the abnormal corruption of the Chaos gods instantly all turned toward the direction of the voice.

To the naked eye the sky showed no difference, but on the soul level a "sun" ignited, no less than a distant star.

Happiness is derived by contrast, one side being the gods' faith that brings mutation, pain, and madness.

The other side is the tranquil, warm, courageous human origin.

Even if Xisi has no further words, even if Luojia's order to cease resistance has not arrived.

Yet the Huaiyaners, already looking at the summons from the soul's origin, stunnedly laid down their weapons.

The Explosive Gun they had raised fell limp as their hands grew weak.

Even those Huaiyaners far away who only felt the soul summons reacted thus; the Huaiyaners on Luojia's bridge who directly faced Xisi with the naked eye experienced an even more intense shock.

The primordial divine power, for humans, is itself a "pure clean force" far beyond the gods' corruption.

Not to mention Xisi acting as a "Transformer", and the Hundredfold positive.

As humans who can bathe in and even gaze directly at Xisi, the Huaiyaners on the bridge—those already beginning to endure the suffering of mutation—watched with their own eyes their twisted, painful bodies visibly return to normal under the gentle caress of Xisi's Divine Light.

And those Huaiyaners who were already normal felt their bodies, nourished by this Divine Light, become increasingly powerful!

It seemed as if Xisi at this moment had become a deity exclusive to humans; as long as a human stays by Xisi, the longer they remain, the more distinct the combat power boost they receive.

This phenomenon, worthy of being called a miracle, is far more shocking than for those Huaiyaners who only heard the soul summons.

One should know that the Huaiyaners who can appear on Luojia's bridge are all top‑tier leaders of the Huaiyaners.

Not only is there Colonel Kelfaren, the company commander who is the number one under Luojia, but also other company commanders representing the highest authority of the Huaiyaners.

Not to mention Luojia herself, who faces Xisi directly.

Even Luojia's inner paranoia and feelings are greatly eased under Xisi's Divine Light.

Now not only Luojia, but all the high‑ranking Huaiyaners on the bridge, stare with dazed eyes at Xisi floating in midair.

That surging divine power, using indisputable primordial connection, proves Xisi's divine throne's absolute legitimacy.

Finally, with a muffled thud as Taogang hit the ground, the Huaiyaners' attention withdrew from their eyes.

A company commander Huaiyaner, also with a face full of astonishment, stared blankly at his own body that had knelt to Xisi at an unknown time.

Someone took the lead, and more company commanders' bodies began to uncontrollably want to worship.

At the same time, pairs of eyes turned to Luojia, wanting to see what attitude their Father of Genes actually had.

And as someone who faces Xisi directly, Luojia, who is a primary focus of Xisi's care, is even more stunned than other Huaiyaners who only catch peripheral glances.

In Luojia's eyes, Xisi has no flesh at all; he is entirely a "deity" floating before her, composed wholly of golden divine light.

Luojia's body also gradually seems to want to bend…

"He is a false god!!!"

A booming shout interrupted Luojia's action, and the other Huaiyaner company commanders were suddenly startled, staring dumbfounded at the one who shouted.

Xisi's face, originally full of "kindness" and "gentleness", was about to deliver a final kick as Luojia knelt before him, but being forcibly interrupted turned into displeasure.

Xisi's gaze shifted toward Kelfaren!

Kelfaren, gritting his teeth, mustered courage to point at Xisi and scold angrily; the surrounding Huaiyaners, seeing Kelfaren's special status and accumulated prestige, also showed hesitation and struggle on their faces when they looked back at Xisi.

Kelfaren then looked at his subordinate Huaiyaners, even his own adopted son Luojia, who was still forcibly pulled back by his single word, his face showing the pride of his still intact authority.

But this pride, as Xisi's cold gaze fell on him, turned the former warm sun into an infinite chill that threatens the human‑destroying divine throne.

Kelfaren's face froze instantly.

Kelfaren is Luojia's adoptive father, and also the true founder of the Huaiyaners' faith.

Kelfaren not only raised Luojia, but also, through abuse, control, and many other means, forged Luojia into a perfect tool for exporting his faith outward.

The word tool is unquoted, because that is the relationship between Kelfaren and Luojia.

Such an adoptive father–adopted son relationship is certainly abnormal, but of the eighteen Original Bodies, aside from Kiriman, the rest are all loveless roadside ones from childhood!

By comparison, Kelfaren's relationship with Luojia is actually among the relatively normal ones.

Originally Luojia had finally found a foothold to break free from Kelfaren's control, namely wholehearted belief in the Emperor.

But this foothold was personally smashed to pieces by the Emperor!

Thus, the hard‑won freedom of Luojia, in utter despair, was pulled even deeper by Kelfaren, and ultimately Aieribas slipped in, bringing the belief of the Four Gods.

Now Kelfaren, looking at his painstakingly crafted perfect tool, sees the danger of losing control again, and it is a completely unabashed, even deliberately divine, alien human god.

Feeling that he is losing control over Luojia, Kelfaren can't attend to anything else and abruptly shouted, cutting off Xisi's attempt to subdue Luojia.

Only when Xisi's dissatisfied gaze fell upon him did Kelfaren, under Xisi's golden thunder eyes imbued with divine power, become seized by fear.

Watching Kelfaren rely on his childhood shadow, still binding an invisible rope around Luojia, and using Luojia to transmit it to all other Huaiyaners.

As Luojia's final spiritual reliance, Kelfaren, after a brief fear, gritted his teeth and forced a furious stare at Xisi.

He then opened his mouth, ready to publicly refute Xisi.

And then…

Xisi waved casually, and Kelfaren's body, which had just opened its mouth, was blown into powder like a light breeze.

Kelfaren, dead???

Just like that… dead???

This is the wave‑like shock that flooded the Huaiyaners' minds after witnessing the scene.

A group of people suddenly turned their heads to look at Luojia, and Xisi, who had casually removed Luojia's intangible shackles, also looked.

When Luojia, unable to believe it, stared at the scene before him, he instinctively tried to launch an attack toward Xisi on behalf of his adoptive father, who was also his last spiritual support.

But when Xisi turned around and faced Luojia again, Luojia, who had spent his whole life seeking spiritual support and chasing faith, suddenly realized......

Xisi extended his right hand toward him.

You must have someone to rely on?

Then I am your support!
