Chapter 546

Rising from a chaotic ruin, the cleanliness‑loving Wen Di Ge first gave his bomb‑blackened old bones a new black robe.

Who would have thought that the Fox King might be there just to mess with his mindset, yet he even crouched down and immediately gathered a string of flame‑burst techniques to rain down.

"How audacious! To dare offend the divine!"

At the crucial moment it was Ma Er Sha's fault; even though it was only a little over sixty levels, the little lich prepared several layers of shields in one go and barely intercepted it.

"Very good!"

Lao Yang Tou, whose dignity was protected by his subordinates, was delighted and, without holding back, raised his staff and, together with Ma Er Sha, began to duel the Fox King with magic.

Wen Di Ge was stronger than her, the little lich weaker than her, so rounding it off the Fox King was being surrounded by two of himself and naturally couldn't win.

He could only, after unleashing a whirlwind, temporarily withdraw from the fight, using low‑level magic to clear troops while taking medicine to restore mana, awaiting the next battle.

After temporarily repelling the audacious old fox, Wen Di Ge smoothed his black robe and looked around.

Just as he was about to say a pompous line in front of his subordinates, pretending to be impressive, he suddenly heard a very strange sound.

Following the sound, he discovered... Wow, the Wolf King nearby was still being violently drilled by the Ox King?

"Shameless! Shameless! I told you to be shameless!"

Good fellow, the noise of the ear‑pulling and ear‑scraping sounded like a cannon blast; not only living beings, even mindless undead were frightened enough to steer clear.

Although Wen Di Ge liked watching He Chi Na get beaten, seeing his ally suffer like that, he quickly shouted.

"Your Majesty, you resist! How... uh, Bo Luo Na? He wouldn't happen to like this, would he?"

The blood‑clan little sister hesitated, first shook her head, then nodded, and then shook her head again.

Wen Di Ge:???

Lao Yang Tou could no longer bear to watch, so he politely averted his gaze, only to find that the battlefield situation seemed to have changed at some point!

Indeed, although amid chaos both sides' high‑end forces were constantly tugging at each other and restraining one another, no progress was made and the fight was extremely painful.

Yet in the unnoticed corners, players who only cared about gaining experience, heads, and loot never ceased their slaughter.

Thus, in just over an hour, the million‑strong undead calamity had been slain by the million‑strong Fourth Disaster, leaving only the word "calamity."

If this continues, even if they achieve a high‑level victory, they will only face the tragic reality of a completely emptied population!

"This..."

Now Lao Yang Tou had no time for idle facial concerts, and hurriedly, with the little lich, rescued the Wolf King whose face was swollen to the sky.

"Your Majesty, a big problem has arisen!"

But because his combat ability was really low, He China, who had been severely beaten by Niu Wang, had already been dazed by the slap, and couldn't hear what he was saying at all.

Having no choice, Wen Di Ge could only give the Wolf King some strong medicine, forcing him to gulp down two or three bottles of sour, salty, bitter, spicy potion, making him snap awake.

"Sector D!"

He vomited a huge puddle on the ground, and the Wolf King staggered to his feet.

"Ah, what happened? I remember I..."

But before he could finish, Wen Di Ge grabbed his collar again.

"No time for more dithering, Your Majesty! Our troops are being wiped out!"

"What? Wiped out? How can this be... ah!"

The Wolf King looked left and right in confusion, only then realizing that the once vast undead army had already been reduced by sixty to seventy percent.

Although over three hundred thousand still persisted in fighting, they were merely holding a desperate stand, about to be slaughtered by humans.

"National Teacher, these... these humans are too cunning; if the army is wiped out, wouldn't we have won nothing?"

"Indeed, Your Majesty, so the most important thing now is that we must quickly reinforce our forces!"

"Right, right..."

The Wolf King regained a bit of reason, brushed aside Wen Di Ge's hand, and the light in his eyes dimmed.

He pondered for a moment.

"Then National Teacher, how many troops do you still have?"

!!!

Wen Di Ge's blood pressure spiked instantly, almost roaring.

"Still have? No! How many more dead on the steppe can there be? Fool! All of them are here!"

He Chi Na, despite his size, was being called a fool for the first time; a flash of anger appeared on his face, but he dared not act on it.

【46】 He could only tuck his head and then play the turtle.

But because his combat ability was truly low, He Chi Na, who had been brutally beaten by the Ox King, was stunned and could not hear what was being said.

"That makes it difficult, National Teacher, I don't have many troops at hand either..."

But Wen Di Ge suddenly fixed his gaze on him, the golden soul‑fire in his skull burning ever hotter.

"Who says you don't?"

"Do I... have?"

"When you first set out, didn't you boast of a million‑strong army? Only 200,000 died, where are the other eight hundred thousand?"

The Wolf King was stunned for a moment, then Wen Di Ge burst out laughing.

"National Teacher, oh dear, how can such bluff be believed? Those eight hundred thousand are logistics staff; they haven't been trained! They can't go to the battlefield."

So Wen Di Ge also laughed, pacing back and forth with his black robe.

"Your Majesty, if I say I have a method that can instantly turn them into ferociously brave soldiers, would you like to try it?"

"Of course..."

The Wolf King was about to agree, but at the crucial moment his clever intellect held the high ground and he said in a deep voice.

"... We need to consider it first, tell me, what exactly is the method?"

Wen Di Ge raised his hand, and amid the spreading shadows summoned a foul‑smelling undead transformed from wolf soldiers.

"That's it!"

"Hmm?"

The Wolf King immediately furrowed his brows, but after only a moment of puzzlement he suddenly released, pointing at the zombie.

"Wen Di Ge, what joke are you making? You want to turn them all into monsters like this!?"

"Them? Haha, more than that!"

Beneath his black robe, the broad‑boned Wen Di Ge slowly spread his arms, like nightfall rising,

"I will turn the entire prairie, even the whole world, into my undead army! With global belief surpassing the God‑slayer, I will become the sole Divine King!"

Ha, plotting to end the world?

Such insane words, even the Wolf King, however tolerant, could no longer endure, clenching his fists and roaring,

"Wen Di Ge, you really intend to rebel?"

"Ha? At this point you still ask such a question, don't you find it laughable!"

Although the relationship between both sides had long since deteriorated, everyone was still awkwardly respectable, and would not tear off the mask until the final moment.

So it's a pity, now might be the "final moment".

The Wolf King gritted his teeth, his eyes gradually turning red, clearly entering a frenzy.

"Wen Di Ge, I am your king! Your usurpation will only meet my utmost cruel retaliation and punishment!"

But his threat was meaningless, met with Wen Di Ge's unrelenting sarcasm.

"Wait, king? Are you speaking of an incompetent king whose son kills his father, brothers turn against each other, and ministers betray him?"

"..."

He Chi Na did not retort, for he had already come to Wen Di Ge's side; what language in this world can surpass the critique of a weapon?

But just as he raised his wolf claw, ready to channel his fury into force, he suddenly heard Wen Di Ge say a sentence.

"Stop."

Then the Wolf King's poised form truly halted, like a robot hearing a human voice command.

"Hahahaha!"

Today's Wen Di Ge seemed especially delighted, even his signature bass couldn't contain it.

And while laughing, he circled the Wolf King as if admiring a newly received figurine.

"Alas, Your Majesty, don't forget, your soul‑stealing ceremony was entirely arranged by my people; adding a bit of seasoning… Ha, isn't that a simple matter?"

"What a pity, what a pity, you who are always cautious, how could you have trusted me so much back then?"

What else could it be because of?

Because if the Wolf King, having lost all his support, hadn't gambled boldly at that moment, he would likely have been torn apart on the spot by Mantu Latu and Wen Di Ge.

And now it's too late to regret all this; the Wolf King suddenly realized that it's not just his body—his very mind seems to be turning chaotic.

Nevertheless, at this critical moment, in a flash he still thought of a way to break the deadlock.

Using terrifying willpower, he forcibly reclaimed the right to use his lips, tongue, and vocal cords, and shouted quickly.

"Messenger! Miss Messenger! I love your Deep Forest Wang Guo the most! They've rebelled, hurry and help me eliminate these traitors!"

The Deep Forest messenger who had been idling nearby:???

No, why suddenly blame the disaster on me? Do you think my level‑60 is that powerful?

And at this pivotal moment deciding whether the royal court could survive, she merely stepped forward, nodded at Wen Di Ge, and then retreated.

Wolf King:???

"You... you were a group together!?"

That's not nonsense; the Lion‑Heart King merely wants to cultivate a henchman capable of attacking the Pioneers, preferably also nailing the Duke of Jueqiao to Jueqiao Pass.

As for whether this henchman is surnamed Wolf or Shadow, does it matter?

Naturally it's the virtuous ones, that is, the group with the toughest wrists.

Thus, after perceiving the Wolf King's unreliability, the messenger began covertly contacting Wen Di Ge, changing his own target of recruitment.

"Very good, it seems our cooperation has taken a solid step forward."

Eliminating the Wolf King, taking his place, and even inheriting external support, Wen Di Ge finally could unleash his might.

He first used a pre‑planted spell to control the Wolf King, reverting him to a demonic wolf beast, which charged toward our already precarious battlefield.

Then, borrowing the Wolf King's great seal, in the name of delivering the royal decree, he had the living he had previously bribed transport the zombies to every Tribe on the prairie.

With a massive undead plague, he completely turned the wasteland into a dead zone, forging the first tier of his ladder to challenge Thus we will have Cultivation: Zhen Shen!

But just as he pursued both tactics, vowing to reverse the situation, he suddenly detected a familiar presence nearby.

"Yin Ni?"

A black shadow flowed over the ruins of the royal tent, coalescing like ink, forming a middle‑aged man also clad in a black robe.

But his demeanor lacked any of the serene elegance; as soon as he assumed human shape, he trembled, knelt, and rasped,

"You are the loyal yet fearful lamb! Yin Ni, present yourself before my lord!"

Considering the Wolf King had nearly pledged all his assets for this war, Wen Di Ge, while accelerating troop production, was also consolidating forces from across the lands.

Among them naturally were the Hui Guang Kingdom faction, already chased to shrieking chaos by the Holy Light Church and the Pioneers, its territory shrinking dramatically.

However, the Duke of Jueqiao had already imposed the strictest border controls, and the route required crossing the barbarian plains occupied by the High Tower Community, making the entire journey perilous.

Thus, the distant Hui Guang faction only today had someone rush back to headquarters to report, and only the Grand Bishop Yin Ni survived the slaughter.

Even though in a sorry state, it's still a level‑50 combat power; each one that arrives is one, so Wen Di Ge had no objections.

But before he could even soothe his subordinates and say a few nice words, he saw the person before him wailing loudly.

"My lord, Yin Ni begs forgiveness!"

Wen Di Ge:?

"Oh! Ha, these past days have been hard on you; the enemy was too strong, I don't blame you, rather I'm pleased you escaped unscathed."

No, not this!

As a result, Yinni cried even more sadly, directly kneeling on the ground and starting to sob.

He's the God's Chosen! You ordered me to take good care of him, but he went missing after leaving Guanghui Capital!

Wendigo:??

Wait, what God's Chosen?

It's your Shadow God's Chosen, my lord, wuwuwu, I'm sorry for your cultivation, sorry for your trust, and even more sorry for the God's Chosen's cultivation and trust!

Wendigo:???

No, stop crying, get up, and speak clearly!

Yinni had no choice but to tremble as they stood up, and told Wendigo their whole ordeal.

……

Firstly, I have never conferred the title of God's Chosen, and the God's Chosen does not hold concurrent positions.

Secondly, I'm merely a quasi-god; how could I let my God's Chosen infiltrate a church of a Thus we will have Cultivation: Zhen Shen, and even become that person's God's Chosen?

Thirdly, that so-called shadow divine power is likely a disguise made from one of my avatars that I accidentally lost.

Finally……

Although the words were progressing, Wendigo's tone instead became increasingly calm, slowly asking a question.

So, have you been all this time trying to cooperate with his so-called espionage operation?

Dumbfounded like a wooden chicken, Yinni: 'Ah this.'

Haha.

The spy network I painstakingly built has actually been behind my back, supporting the enemy that gave me the biggest setback of my life?

Can only say it's fortunate that Wendigo has no tear glands, otherwise they'd unintentionally become the biggest victim, and having only learned the truth on the last page, they should have already burst out crying 'wah'.

But Lao Yang Tou didn't know that there are actually people in this world who remain unaware until the end, so the more they thought, the angrier they got, the more they thought, the angrier they got, and finally they couldn't control their emotions and burst into hysterical shouting.

Damn it! Idiot! Why can't you do anything right, insisting on opposing me!

However, after venting anger, they still forced themselves to calm down again, and amidst the subsiding fury suddenly recalled something.

Since that damned Holy Light God's Chosen has been using a fake Shadow God's Chosen identity to swagger and deceive, then my own avatar must surely be on their person, right?
