Chapter 149: Perverted Gods

Because there was a rule in the City Lord's Mansion against mutual slaughter, no one dared to break it.

So even if the atmosphere was a bit heavy and tense, and Li Yu was stared at by everyone, nothing happened in the end.

In the process, Li Yu still had to appease his own maid.

After all, standing from Hong Dou's perspective, in this scene, she would detect a large amount of malicious killing intent directed at her master.

In fact, if Li Yu hadn't secretly held her hand and passed a signal, she would have already completed her transformation and pulled out her chainsaw sword to kill people.

Fortunately, this scene ended soon.

When "Xu Xu Baixi," who was dressed as a Color Play Master, appeared, the malicious gazes were retracted one after another, and instead, they all looked at this deacon with fervent eyes.

This powerhouse saved Li Yu's life last night, but at this moment, he couldn't care about Li Yu.

He was suspended above the large square of the City Lord's Mansion.

All around were mechanical camp platforms and other towering buildings.

All pioneer teams, according to their numbers, from front to back, were almost all present.

Besides this, there were other members of the City Lord's Mansion, such as the scout squads that often had to leave Wanfu City, the security squads that were equally numerous and aimed at order within Wanfu City, and other messy members.

Because of making the headline of the "Wanfu Daily," Li Yu's reputation exploded.

But in such an occasion, especially when Xu Xu Baixi appeared in the capacity of a "host," everyone's attention would only be on him.

Everyone knew that there was a big event to be held in the City Lord's Mansion today.

The selection and assessment for the God-Chosen Pioneer Team!

Li Yu was also startled by this formation at first. Shouldn't this just be the business of the 【God-Chosen】? Why did so many people come?

Seeing his confusion, Captain Zhan Kui sent a voice transmission:

"There was a new notice last night. The high-level officials believe that not all God-Chosen know their identity."

"It is possible that some practitioners have already been watched by their own True God, but have not yet manifested and given blessings. Maybe they only need a small stimulus source to achieve it... so this assessment and selection allows everyone to participate. Who knows, maybe hidden God-Chosen will be discovered."

"Another thing is that gathering so many practitioners of different path sequences together, plus some arrangements of the City Lord's Mansion, will make this place produce an extremely intense spiritual inspiration Qi, which will make the gazes of the gods cast over one after another, and perhaps new God-Chosen and God-Favored ones will be born."

"For this reason, the high-level officials decided to use a strange object that can accommodate many practitioners to conduct the selection."

"As for what that treasure is, I don't know either."

……

When Captain Zhan Kui finished speaking, Li Yu looked around.

Sure enough, the entire City Lord's Mansion was bustling with noise and excitement, surrounding the mechanical square, simply like a cyberpunk concert about to begin.

Practitioners of completely different path sequences gathered everywhere.

The complexity and majesty of the Qi made Li Yu shocked.

It was also at this moment!

Li Yu somewhat understood the terrifying foundation of the City Lord's Mansion organization.

If one looks at the territory controlled, the City Lord's Mansion, let alone compared to a four-district hegemon like the Sacred Nest, cannot even compare to some slightly larger markets, but this does not change the fact that the City Lord's Mansion is the number one organization in Wanfu City.

The key was that this was only the tip of the iceberg of the City Lord's Mansion's strength.

After all, in the field, there was only one high-level official, "Xu Xu Baixi."

Li Yu looked at the Color Play Master who was stepping on the void, and his curiosity surged:

"This person can instantly kill a terrifying mechanical Iron-Blood squad, so he definitely wouldn't be the starting sequence 【Nine-Stream Idler】, he is likely the second sequence."

"How does his strength compare to the Sequence of other paths? Sequence Four?"

Just as Li Yu was guessing.

The truly eye-catching Xu Xu Baixi suddenly moved.

It was seen that this handsome middle-aged man dressed in colored clothes first looked around, greeted with a smile, then bowed slightly toward the forbidden area of the City Lord's Mansion in the distance, and then bowed to the unknown void in the heavens, performing a quite respectful four-direction salute.

When he moved, it seemed there was no change in the field, and most people didn't feel anything.

But Li Yu, was an exception.

He vaguely guessed what Xu Xu Baixi was doing, and at the same time immediately felt the terrifying change in the scene:

"He treated this square, and the selection about to begin, as a stage for a show."

"He is paying tribute to honorable guests. Is it the gods? Or rather, the gaze of the gods?"

"Is this place being watched by a group of Sinister Gods across the world?"

When Li Yu realized this, his body tightened instantly.

The City Lord's Mansion, such a big face?

Holding an event, can attract a group of Sinister Gods to watch?

Then inside this, wouldn't there be the 【Lord of Myriad Changes】?

In horror, Li Yu realized a not-so-good thing.

He, this pretender, this thief, was likely going to act cool in front of the "rightful owner."

But before he could regret it, Xu Xu Baixi, who had finished greeting, started directly.

It was seen that this handsome middle-aged man dressed in colored clothes snapped his fingers that everyone could hear. As soon as this seemingly irrelevant action ended, a terrifying commotion followed.

Above the heavens, a loud boom suddenly came.

Li Li Xuanji, a terrifying scene like the "Demon Star Descent" last time appeared, and the entire heavens cracked open.

A cluster of radiance flew from the heavens, and after entering the city, it directly turned into a huge magic treasure and fell onto the square.

In an instant, everyone showed a look of horror, including Li Yu.

This seemed to be a towering pagoda! No one knew how many floors this tower had, because the top of the tower couldn't be seen at all, connecting the heavens and the earth.

One couldn't see the specific appearance of this pagoda, details, etc.

No matter how one looked at it, one could only see it emitting eerie brilliance, clearly it was broad daylight, but that light was like threads, piercing into everyone's eyes.

Just a few glances!

Ninety percent of the people in the field shed blood and tears.

Screams and wails were endless.

But unexpectedly, everyone's eyes seemed to be stuck after touching those eerie threads of light.

Even if they were in pain, blood and

Yet, everyone's eyes seemed to be glued to those eerie rays of light once they touched them.

Even if they were in unbearable pain, with blood and tears gushing out, their bodies and souls feeling the stabbing pain of ten thousand needles, and even more hallucinations arising, driving people to crazy impulses—rolling, roaring, and some even starting to claw at their own skin, attempting to peel themselves.

Even so, everyone's gaze remained unwilling to move even a fraction.

In a trance!

This place seemed to have become a "ten-thousand-person execution ground."

=9+Shu_ba

Everyone here was being punished together; the scene was truly horrifying.

Li Yu, and some special individuals, were the exceptions.

Although he felt his eyes were a bit sore as he watched, that was all; there was no severe pain, nor was he driven mad.

"Hmm?"

"So they're playing this game, setting up a stage to invite the gods to watch—not for the sake of selection and assessment, but to torture the gods' believers."

"To see which evil god can't stand it and makes a move; thus, those hidden 【God-Chosen】 that even the cultivators themselves are unaware of, naturally expose themselves."

"How insidious!"

"How perverted!"

"But I suppose the evil gods know this, and they are happy to do so... Judging from those inhuman secret medicine formulas and ascension rituals, almost every evil god loves to torture their own believers. The more painful and the more they struggle, the more delighted they are, which is why they cooperate with the City Lord's Mansion to play along."

"All the gods have to do is take a look from afar. It seems grand, but in reality, for them, it's just a little fun."

Almost at the moment Li Yu realized this, all the cultivators in the arena reached their limit.

If it continued for a few more breaths, many people's sanity would be wiped clean, and they would go straight insane.

At this very instant, all the eerie rays of light simultaneously retracted.

Disappearing along with them!

Was the gaze of the evil gods.

They came fast, and left even faster.

It was as if the only reason the evil gods were willing to take a look from afar was to watch their own believers suffer.

Once they finished watching and were satisfied, they left.

This made Li Yu breathe a sigh of relief; at least his fake "Ten-Thousand-Change God-Chosen" status had no risk of exposure for now.

The execution ground fell silent, but most cultivators were still kneeling on the ground, eyes tightly shut, blood and tears streaming down their faces.

Just when they were at a loss!

Xu Xu Baixi's voice, devoid of mercy and even somewhat playful, came through:

"Everyone, you should know by now whether you are a God-Chosen or not."

"This tower is called the 【Heaven-Reaching Tower】. Inside each level, a portion of a true god's corpse is stored."

"If you are certain you are a God-Chosen or God-Favored, you may enter the range of the light, and you will naturally be randomly teleported into the tower to face the true god's corpse."

"If you come out alive, you can join the 【God-Chosen Pioneer Team】."

"Believe me, the treatment you will enjoy after joining this pioneer team will be enough to rival the resources given to the law-transmitting geniuses cultivated by any sect."

"Of course, if someone is clearly not a God-Chosen but still believes they can resist the true god's pollution, they may also try; as long as they come out alive, it's fine."

As Xu Xu Baixi's voice fell, one figure after another immediately left their original positions and headed toward the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

Most of them had eyes that were intact, with no traces of blood or tears.

Without a doubt, these people were genuine God-Chosen, which was why they were exempted from that eerie punishment.

Of course, there were also fakes; for instance, Li Yu was mixed in among them.

Besides them, there were also a few people whose faces were covered in blood and tears, yet they all revealed expressions of excitement and joy.

It was no wonder they were so happy; although they had suffered cruel torture and were nearly driven insane, in that instant, these few had all felt the protection and blessing from their own true gods.

Even if it was very slight and faint.

It was impossible to say clearly whether it was because they were already God-Chosen, or because the scene of their torture had pleased the gods, earning them a reward.

This was not important!

Because regardless of the reason, it could not change the fact that they had now leaped to become God-Chosen.

Until the next moment, when they entered the range of the light and were sucked into a certain level of the tower.

Screams ten times more shrill than before immediately began to resound.

The "gaze of the gods" that had previously disappeared actually recovered a few strands silently, and the pleasure in the void became even more intense.

Three updates, asking for monthly tickets.
