Chapter 1 The Distant Radiance

A distant radiance soared to the sky.

The radiance spread by the crest, like sweet rain, fell upon the long night of Lion Alley in the distance.

Gu Shen and the others, far away at the border of the domain, also saw this astonishing scene.

"This is...?"

Mr. Gu Zhi frowned.

"It is the power of the relic." Before Gu Nanfeng could speak, Mr. Shu said leisurely, "You came to find the Apostle..."

"Yes."

Gu Nanfeng nodded.

"Ying Ji, he... is?"

The Madam looked at the stream of light streaking from afar with a complicated expression, and spoke very softly.

This information was too difficult for her to believe.

Because Song Ci was born in the Old City, grew up in the Old City, and never left the capital after following her... This was someone who had nothing to do with Nagano City, let alone being favored by Gu Changzhi and chosen as the Apostle.

Judging from the current situation in East Continent, which was in dire straits, the Madam had some doubts in her heart... The so-called Apostle was just an expedient measure chosen by Gu Nanfeng to resist the bill when he returned to Nagano from the North Continent fortress.

Everyone in the council was questioning whether Gu Changzhi was alive or dead.

At this time, if his Apostle appeared, most of the doubts would be dispelled.

...

...

She was not the only one with the same thought.

After shrinking, the darkness seemed to collapse, and a dark round moon gathered, hanging behind Qin Ye.

The two Apostles hung high in the sky.

"What now?"

Tie Wu hesitated. His mission was to kill Lu Nanzhi and, if possible, investigate the truth about Gu Changzhi's life and death... Now, the first mission should have failed.

Three extraordinary individuals with the strength of a titled powerhouse had appeared in the Capital District.

Any one of them was an opponent he could not defeat without using the relic.

In the situation that Qin Ye would not take action, if he used the relic... he was not 100% sure that he could complete the first mission.

The man in Lion Alley who had been knocked down by him was actually the Apostle of Nagano City. He had a relic, and that guy also had a relic... What's more, the Apostle's induction in the dark made him feel that there were other hidden dangers in unseen places.

In a sense... could he be considered to have completed the second mission?

Gu Changzhi's life and death could be determined at the moment Song Ci awakened.

In Tie Wu's view, the Apostle's appearance meant the condensation of divine power. Even if that man surnamed Gu slumbered in Qingzhong, as long as he could still dispatch his divine power, the Supreme Council was destined to leave a place for him.

Tie Wu already wanted to withdraw.

"Wait a little longer. Lord God's Seat is watching here. Perhaps there will be new instructions next." Qin Ye said calmly, "Besides, it's not easy to meet the Apostle of East Continent... why not exchange blows?"

Tie Wu slandered in his heart, "I would like to fight, but you are just watching the show..."

He and Qin Ye served two different God's Seats of the Source Tower.

Their missions were also different... The order from the Wine God's Seat was to kill Lu Nanzhi and end the bill dispute for the Zhao family, while Qin Ye's mission should be to retrieve the lost Lion's Roar technology. Fighting against the Apostle was not a necessary part of Qin Ye's mission.

This was why... when they were on the top floor of the Nanwan Building, Qin Ye had warned Tie Wu that no matter how the fight went, he would not help. He came to the capital for only one purpose.

"My mission has failed." Qin Ye glanced at Tie Wu and said, "The Lion's Roar technology has been destroyed... so you don't have to worry that I will continue to stand idly by. As a member of the Source Tower, I will now do my best to assist you in completing your current mission."

Seeing that Tie Wu did not respond.

Qin Ye continued, "If you are afraid of losing, I can use the relic to open the domain at the last moment. You don't have to worry about dying in East Continent."

"What did you say?" Tie Wu raised his eyebrows, "Afraid of losing? I will lose?"

He looked back.

In the sky above, the figure burning with snow-white radiance arrived in an instant and landed on the roof of the old building.

The relic gradually converged its radiance.

The snow-white wings behind Song Ci also slowly converged... This was the first time he had used the so-called "relic". He thought there would be some complicated steps, such as dripping a drop of blood or chanting some strange incantation, but in fact there were none.

When Gu Nanfeng handed the crest to him.

An invisible induction rippled out... This was a "instinct" that did not need to be taught at all, just as humans were born to open their eyes.

"Hoo..."

Song Ci's face was a little complicated. He stretched out his hands and felt his breath at this moment.

This was a very strange feeling... Resurrecting from silence, born from the heart of death, he seemed to be able to feel the wriggling of every inch of his muscles and bones, and completely grasped every inch of the meridians of this body.

But similarly, no matter how he stretched his body, he always felt some discomfort.

At the moment he used the crest, a wisp of power beyond the extraordinary source quality was transmitted across the material world, branded and left in his brow and spirit... This was the power of God.

Those who had enjoyed the power of God would feel somewhat uncomfortable when they returned to the mortal world, but they would slowly get used to it.

This was the first time Gu Shen had seen the so-called Apostle. The blazing fire in his brow produced a strong induction. This induction was not a greedy desire to devour, but more like an equal appreciation between kindred spirits...

He looked at the wings behind Song Ci and found them exceptionally pleasing to the eye, and could not help but praised, "What beautiful... birdman."

Hearing the word "birdman", Song Ci was not angry, but grinned.

He suddenly felt a little恍惚.

He still remembered many years ago, when the Madam brought him out of the Old City, she said... he was not the crow who only spread misfortune in the mouths of the world. One day, he would spread his white wings.

Was this true?

He only took it as a joke.

But for so many years, the Madam had been calling him Ying Ji. Obviously, the Madam did not think this was a joke... No matter how outsiders looked at him, in the Madam's eyes, he was not a crow, but a white parrot.

For a reckless fool who came out of the bottom of the Old City step by step with muddy footprints, he did not care about the so-called etiquette and morality, nor did he care whether his wings were black or white... From the moment the Madam called him Ying Ji, he was determined... even if he spilled his hot blood, he would protect the Madam's safety.

Many people would find it incomprehensible.

But... this was his way of doing things.

If anyone dared to hurt the Madam.

Then he would never forgive them.

"Using divine power will cause a great burden." Gu Nanfeng reminded earnestly, "It is not easy to use for a long time."

"I know."

Song Ci nodded.

As soon as he finished speaking, the White Eagle crest suddenly burst into flames. Under the snow-white radiance, a pair of huge wings instantly opened behind Song Ci.

Then came the second pair.

He tried his best to burn the power of the relic, feeling the continuous majestic divine power pouring into his body, and slowly raised his head, his eyes locked on Tie Wu in the sky.

"???"

Tie Wu had never seen an Apostle who dared to use the relic so recklessly.

Did he think he had lived too long?

Using divine power in this way... even if the body could bear it, how long could he live?

The next moment.

Song Ci rushed into the sky.

Tie Wu's face changed drastically. He instantly ignited the relic of the Wine God's Seat. Countless steels rose from the ground in the Old City and collided in the air, condensing into a thick wall weighing several tons.

A punch with a "boom"!

The steel wall was shattered by Song Ci with one punch!

The second wall was re-condensed!

Song Ci punched again!

Shattered again!

The veins on Tie Wu's forehead bulged. He watched the madman's fist break through layers of walls in an instant. This shocking scene was the result of a huge amount of divine power spreading and wasting. The result of burning divine power regardless of the cost was... unless he also burned his life, he would have his head dislocated by this punch.

Tie Wu was forced to burn the relic in the same trend.

He drove countless steels and collided with Song Ci fiercely!

In an instant, two streams of light, one black and one white, flew out, one crashing to the ground, chiseling a huge pit in the ground, and the other being thrown into the air, struggling to stand firm.

In the next instant, the snow-white figure that crashed to the ground rushed into the sky again as if he did not feel any pain, and the divine power burned even more brilliantly and frantically!

Tie Wu's eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, and he was also a little crazy.

Still want to fight?

Madman!

This person was not an Apostle, he was a real madman!

He didn't want to risk his life with this kind of madman!

I'm not playing... Tie Wu roared, "Old Qin! Save me!".
