Chapter 1758: Do You Have Any Shame?
"Is this the Heavenly Dao?" Jiutun's expression was complex, and he muttered, "I have never believed in the Heavenly Dao or fate, nor in Karma or Reincarnation, because I feel that I am the creator of order."
"Do you feel your face burning when you brag like that?" Chen Yu was practically speechless; this grandson really dared to boast.
There were plenty of people stronger than Jiutun, but none of them dared to claim they were the creators of order, unless they were the existence of a Creator.
Yet this guy opened his mouth and said he was the creator of order? Have some shame; he is nothing but a demon, and having been held in high regard by others, he now thinks he is truly a god?
"No matter what you say, in my era, on this land, I was highly respected." Jiutun shook his head. "You are right, the era is different now; the era that belonged to me has passed."
"Do you have any last words?" Chen Yu asked.
"No." Jiutun pondered for a long time and shook his head slightly; now that things had reached this point, he truly had nothing left to say.
"Are you sure? You must understand, once I strike with this sword, you will have no chance at Reincarnation." Chen Yu smiled.
Yes, Jiutun's life force had already been severed by him seven or eight times over, and in order to win, this guy had sacrificed his true form and used his Original Power.
Now that he had changed, if Chen Yu struck with this sword, Jiutun would undoubtedly die.
"There is nothing left to say; death is death regardless." Jiutun shook his head, his expression somewhat desolate. "I never imagined that I, Jiutun, would end up in such a state. Heh, ridiculous, pathetic."
"There are many things you didn't imagine. Since you have nothing left to say, then go on your way." Chen Yu nodded slightly, raised his hand, and the sword fell.
It was an ordinary, unremarkable sword strike, using barely any Original Power, yet Jiutun's figure slowly collapsed to the ground. He struggled a few times, his face filled with unwillingness, before finally turning into ten thousand points of light and vanishing into mid-air.
After dealing with this guy, Chen Yu looked at the already dilapidated Shrine.
Although this place was extremely worn down, one could still faintly see a bit of its former majesty upon the great hall.
Baqi's strength was significantly greater than Jiutun's, but in that era where gods coexisted, the stronger your strength, the more severely you would be beaten down, so this guy had suffered even more serious injuries.
His slumber was, in fact, the kind of slumber from which one could never wake up.
Moreover, as the last bit of his power remaining here vanished, the tall Shrine could no longer support itself. As the Shrine disintegrated bit by bit, the entire ruin showed signs of shaking the earth and mountains.
Furthermore, a wisp of Universe Fire ignited in the sky, and this world also began to disintegrate and collapse bit by bit.
Chen Yu shook his head; Baqi was also an extremely glorious existence in the past, but unfortunately, that was already a thing of the past.
Just as Chen Yu said, the current world was no longer the world of the ancient times; the era that belonged to the coexistence of gods and demons had passed.
Although traces of the ancient gods still existed now, these traces would eventually disappear gradually with time.
With a flash, Chen Yu stepped out of this space. When he looked back, a ball of fire appeared in mid-air, and a mass of black matter was constantly devouring everything around it, until the ruin completely vanished.
After solving Jiutun, his mission to Fusang was considered successfully completed; after all, the reason he came here in the first place was him.
It was just that after Chen Yu resolved these matters, he felt much more relaxed, and since he had met Tang Xue here and had news of He Tiansheng, he definitely had to resolve that news before doing anything else.
After descending the Mountain, a group of official agencies was already waiting. They carried heavy weapons, giving off a rather menacing feeling.
Xingzi and several high-ranking commanders were in an armored vehicle. Seeing Chen Yu come down alone, Xingzi hurriedly went up to greet him: "Mr. Chen, you are back."
"Hmm, what are you doing with such a large formation?" Chen Yu glanced at the setup around him.
"Mr. Chen, please don't misunderstand. We just went to resolve the headquarters of the Apocalypse Society, and now we intend to resolve the lair of the Divine Way," Xingzi said hurriedly. "It's right behind the Sacred Mountain, but the terrain here is complex, and our armored vehicles cannot pass. We are currently waiting for air support."
"The head of the Divine Way, Yamamoto Shangming, is already dead, and Jiutun has been dealt with by me. How many people do they have left there now?" Chen Yu asked.
"Not many, but they are all important figures of the Divine Way. Our official Onmyoji will also arrive soon; resolving them shouldn't be much of a problem." Xingzi looked deeply at Chen Yu and asked in a probing tone: "Is Jiutun really dealt with?"
"Dealt with," Chen Yu said indifferently.
"Where is the corpse?" A man with a tall, upright build, who looked like military personnel at a glance, asked nervously.
"For someone like him, do you think there would be a corpse after he dies?" Chen Yu glanced at this man.
"Let me introduce you, this is our commander, Songyi Chi," Xingzi hurriedly made the introduction. "Commander Songyi, this is Mr. Chen."
"No corpse left? That's impossible." Songyi Chi looked at Chen Yu with a suspicious expression. "Jiutun is a god, after all; if you say you dealt with him, there should at least be some evidence, right?"
"I have no evidence," Chen Yu spread his hands. "That small world has already collapsed, and not even slag is left. If you don't believe me, just pretend I never said anything."
"You..." Songyi Chi was also a high-and-mighty existence; seeing Chen Yu's arrogant attitude, his expression immediately turned gloomy.
"Commander Songyi." Xingzi stopped him in time. "If Mr. Chen says he dealt with him, then he dealt with him. Please do not harbor any skeptical attitude."
"Hmph, why do I find it hard to believe? Taking a step back, even if he really dealt with him, he should at least let us see the corpse." Songyi Chi stared coldly at Chen Yu. "Take us to the corpse now, immediately."
"Are you ordering me?" Chen Yu glanced at Songyi Chi.
"I am indeed ordering you, because I must confirm that Jiutun is no longer around." Songyi Chi looked serious.
"You have other motives, don't you?" Chen Yu stared at Songyi Chi for a long time, and he couldn't help but smile. "You want to take Jiutun's corpse back for research?"
That was right; this guy was acting abnormally, and combined with some of the research directions of their country, Chen Yu instantly guessed what they were trying to do.
"Nonsense, I just purely wanted to confirm that he is dead." Songyi Chi's expression changed slightly; it felt uncomfortable to have his thoughts poked at.
However, the order he received was indeed to bring back the corpses of Jiutun and related personnel. Jiutun was, after all, a god, and some of their secret research institutions wanted to get him over for study, hoping they might be able to crack some secrets regarding the human body.
