Chapter 1755: Fighting to the Death

"It is a pity that you are still in deep slumber; otherwise, the two of us should really have enjoyed some wine and good conversation," Jiutun murmured. "How many years has it been? The people of our era have either fallen or fallen into slumber. I have awakened a step early, but my heart is very lonely."

"When we appeared at the same time, we fought until one of us died, but when I awakened a step before you all, I felt that this world was somewhat dull."

Jiutun talked to himself while raising his head: "Since your power is no longer of any use, then I shall take your power and put it to my own use."

Looking at the giant statue, a look of excitement appeared in Jiutun's eyes.

Immediately, he slowly reached out his hand, intending to take the bit of power that Baqi had left in this world.

Possessing this bit of Star Power, he would be able to recover quickly, and by then, dealing with Chen Yu would be a simple matter.

"Heh, you really are something. Those people serve you as their master and risk their lives for you; even if you look down on them, you shouldn't treat them like this." Just at this moment, a voice came over, and following a flash of a figure, Chen Yu walked in.

"How did you come?" Jiutun was startled, and he looked at Chen Yu guardedly.

The Wine Gourd that had been following him suddenly grew larger, swelling to over a person's height, and it stared at Chen Yu guardedly; invisible killing intent instantly permeated the surroundings.

"I came in the same way you did. The Restriction in this place isn't very complicated; it can be broken quite easily." Chen Yu looked at everything around him, revealing a look of shock: "Is this place the Shrine where Baqi is located?"

"Hmm, although his experience is the same as yours, it cannot be denied that he is much stronger than you. At least this Divine Power on his body can bluff people, unlike you—even if you possess Divine Power, the feeling you give people is still that of a demon. This is the difference between people, I suppose."

"Shut your mouth." Jiutun was furious: "Baqi is just a brainless thing. To use your Huaxia saying, he has simple limbs and a simple mind. In what way can he compare to me?"

"Oh, you think you have more brains than him?" Chen Yu tilted his head and stared at him: "If you had even a little bit of brains, you wouldn't have pushed the Apocalypse Society to the front. You want to subvert everything in this world and become the master? You are truly dreaming."

"This point is indeed something I did not expect." Jiutun's old face flushed, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

His thinking was still stuck in his own era; in that ancient period, as long as he displayed a little bit of divine miracle and waved his arm, all living beings would serve him as their master, and he could treat everyone like cattle or horses.

After he awakened, he still used that ancient method, manifesting some divine miracles and then spreading them out, expecting his believers to grow in number and expecting to receive more Faith Power to resolve the embarrassment he was currently facing.

But it was useless. He had to establish the Apocalypse Society, propagate his doctrines, and conduct brainwashing-style bombardment on some people, only then barely managing to keep some of the impoverished masses.

And more people held a skeptical attitude toward this so-called god, because they felt that the things Jiutun made them do were an insult to human rights.

Yes, this thing called human rights did not exist in Jiutun's era; people were truly no different from ants.

And just as he wanted to increase his efforts, he had already aroused the dissatisfaction of those in power, which led to the encirclement and suppression of the Apocalypse Society and the Shrine.

Because his actions had already made those in power feel a crisis.

Jiutun disdained dealing with those in power, because in their era, they were the ones in power, but he did not expect that it was precisely because of his own arrogance and conceit that the subsequent series of events occurred.

"Now you've thought of it? Is it a bit too late?" Chen Yu smiled faintly, and he stared at Baqi: "Human nature in this world is the hardest thing to control. Using the era of dealing with primitive people to deal with modern people is a mistake in itself."

"Because with the development of civilization, everyone has their own thoughts and consciousness. You want to simply suppress them—is that realistic?"

"However, I have not failed yet, because I possess it." Jiutun pointed to the giant Baqi statue, and he chuckled: "Chen Yu, you let Yamamoto Shenming go just to have him come to the ancient ruins, right? You knew I would definitely appear here."

"Right, you are finally smart for once." Chen Yu nodded: "It seems you are quite aware of these things in your heart, heh. You know there must be a reason for the rise of the Shrine; they must have found the ruins of some Ancient God and obtained something from here, which is why they soared to the sky."

"Your goal is the ruins, because the things Baqi left inside here are things ordinary people have no way of claiming as their own, but these things have a great effect on you. As long as you claim these things as your own, your strength will immediately increase a hundredfold."

"By then, no one in this world will be able to stop you. So, I have to say, your wishful thinking was not bad, but unfortunately, you cannot succeed."

"I have already succeeded now; at least I have already walked here." Jiutun laughed loudly: "Although Baqi is no longer here, I can still steal the Origin Power he left behind. Now, I can get this thing into my hands with one reach. As long as I have the Origin Power, I can kill you."

"Then try it." Chen Yu extended his hand, signaling for him to try it. Jiutun sneered, and with a movement of his hand, he prepared to devour that bit of Origin Power on the Baqi statue.

But a figure flashed, and a fist struck heavily on Jiutun's stomach; the Magic he had just begun to cast was interrupted.

He looked down and saw Chen Yu's fist striking his chest. Immediately following, a burst of intense pain came from his chest. He let out a miserable shriek, his figure retreated violently, and with a thud, he crashed into the great hall dozens of meters away.

Pfft—dust flew everywhere, and the already tottering pillars of the Shrine collapsed in an instant, burying Jiutun underneath.

Jiutun's Gourd hissed, opening its bloody maw, seemingly wanting to attack Chen Yu, but Chen Yu pointed his finger, and Lichen appeared.

Floating in mid-air, the Lichen Sword Qi crisscrossed, locking onto the Wine Gourd tightly. The gourd seemed as if it had been fixed on the spot, not moving at all.

The claws and teeth it had just revealed were also retracted, because it was afraid—it was afraid that Chen Yu would kill it in an instant. So it stayed obediently on the spot, standing there motionless, allowing Chen Yu to walk toward its master.
