Chapter 1751: I Can't Beat Him

"That's right, they only asked me to do one thing: kill Jiutun. As for other matters, like dealing with the Apocalypse Society or the Divine Way, they handle those themselves, and I have no intention of interfering." Chen Yu said, "If you have the strength, go kill Jiutun yourself; don't pick on the weak."

"I, I can't beat him." Zhao Ping was stunned, then shook his head helplessly.

Yes, he could not beat Jiutun. No matter how bad this guy was, he was still a demon, and one worshipped here as a god at that.

"Then go back and honestly do what you are supposed to do." Chen Yu raised an eyebrow: "There are some things you shouldn't interfere with, so don't. Do you understand the importance of staying in your own lane?"

"I understand, I will." Zhao Ping nodded and stopped insisting. He knew that persisting was meaningless, so he had no choice but to listen.

Several more days passed. On this day, Chen Yu assisted Chuan Duozi in destroying another stronghold of the Apocalypse Society. As they were sending vanloads of people to the police station, Chen Yu looked thoughtfully at the mountain range not far away.

This mountain was also a famous local mountain in Fusang, and according to them, a mountain god resided within it.

Whether a mountain god actually existed, Chen Yu did not know, but as far as his gaze could reach, there was a faint trace of Divine Power.

"What are you looking at?" Seeing Chen Yu staring fixedly at the mountaintop, Chuan Naizi walked up and asked.

"I remember this mountain is very famous in your local Fusang, right?" Chen Yu pointed and asked.

"That is Mount Zhongshen. It is said that the King of Gods resides there. For many years, we locals have always held it in awe." Chuan Naizi said: "What's wrong? Is there a problem there?"

"There is a problem. A familiar power is there." Chen Yu pondered for a moment and said: "I am going to take some people up that mountain to take a look; there might be some new discoveries."

"That won't do. This mountain is our Sacred Mountain; no one is allowed to go up." Chuan Naizi shook her head and refused without a second thought.

"Then I'll just go up and take a look myself." Chen Yu said.

"Is there something wrong up there?" Chuan Naizi asked in return.

"Of course there is something wrong. If there weren't, I wouldn't be idle enough to come to this desolate mountain to experience your so-called Sacred Mountain scenery." Chen Yu sneered, his figure flashed and disappeared on the spot, and with a few strides, he had left the others far behind.

Chuan Naizi looked furious. She felt that Chen Yu's actions were extremely disrespectful to her, but she had no way to stop him and had to continue having people clean up the battlefield.

Chen Yu reached the mountain within a few breaths. He had just sensed a trace of Divine Power here.

Although this trace of Divine Power did not come directly from Jiutun, it originated from the same source.

Halfway up the mountain, Chen Yu discovered a Shrine. The layout of this Shrine was the same as the ancient Hall of Gods, only much smaller.

Chen Yu slowly pushed open the hall doors. Directly in front stood a golden statue of Jiutun.

"It really is him." Chen Yu said to himself: "But what I didn't expect was that this guy could be so delusional as to put his own statue in the position of the Main God."

Chen Yu really didn't know how to evaluate Jiutun. Although he was essentially a demon, he had been worshipped by many people in Fusang for so many years.

With so much Faith Power, he benefited endlessly, so even if he wasn't a True God, he should at least look the part, right?

Yet this guy's style of conduct was no different from a clown.

"How is it here?" Just then, a voice came over. Chen Yu turned his head and saw Jiutun walking over slowly.

The expression under this guy's red hair appeared somewhat demonic, and judging by his attitude, he was very satisfied with this replica Shrine.

"Not great. In the legendary Hall of Gods, there should be eight Main Gods in the position of your statue." Chen Yu said indifferently: "But this place has now been replaced by your own statue."

"Heh heh, the gods have long since fallen into slumber. They were too severely wounded, so they haven't awakened now, and not only have they not awakened now, they won't awaken in the future either." Jiutun laughed: "It's only a matter of time before I replace them."

"This little island of Fusang is actually quite interesting." Chen Yu laughed: "First there was Baqi, then there was you."

"But whether it's Baqi or you, according to ancient legends, neither of you is qualified to enter the Hall of Gods, right?"

"You, on the other hand, didn't enter the Hall of Gods, and now you're fantasizing about becoming a Main God. Do you really think you are the only one in this world?"

"Heh heh, in fact, I am the only god awake in this world right now, so I must seize this opportunity to become the strongest existence in this world before others awaken." Jiutun sneered.

"No one can contend with me, no one."

"Hmm, then why don't you go take a walk over to Huaxia?" Chen Yu asked in return: "Do you dare?"

Chen Yu's words struck the deepest, weakest part of Jiutun's heart, and his expression suddenly turned ugly.

"I don't know what the ancient times of Huaxia were really like, but even though the Spiritual Energy is not as good as it used to be and the gods are gone, the things they left behind are enough to kill you a hundred times over."

"That is just a matter of time. Heh heh, give me some time, and I will make you understand that I am the strongest." Jiutun sneered.

"Spare me. Fantasizing about becoming a ruler—how insecure must one be to be so delusional? What difference is there between you and those losers who stay at home all day watching movies and fantasizing about marrying a rich, beautiful woman in the future?" Chen Yu said bluntly.

"You..." Jiutun was furious. Although he hadn't been in this world for long, he had learned a lot about the world's culture, and he certainly knew what a loser meant.

"You're using a consciousness to talk to me now; your avatar doesn't even dare to come?" Chen Yu glanced at him. Indeed, the current Jiutun was nothing more than a tiny phantom.

His physical body was nowhere to be found. In the last few days, there had been large-scale purges of the Apocalypse Society, and the Divine Way had also suffered heavy losses.

Jiutun knew his strength was insufficient to confront these people, so he chose to slip away.

Moreover, he didn't dare stay in this Shrine he had spent so much effort building after he awakened, for fear that Chen Yu would show up at his door one day.

"You... are truly pathetic." Chen Yu looked at him with pity, then grabbed at the void with his right hand, and Lichen appeared.

Immediately following, he raised his sword and struck; a stream of light hit the statue.

Crack! The golden statue of Jiutun collapsed with a boom, shattering into pieces.
