Chapter 1 Some Unease

Studying the crystal ball, Su Jie felt a twinge of surprise in his heart.

The moment he saw this island, he felt a subtle change in the crystal ball, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

But he was certain that there must be another crystal ball on this island.

"There's something not right about this island..."

Xu Hongyun gazed at the island in the distance, muttering to himself, "It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be..."

"What's wrong?"

Bai Hu noticed Xu Hongyun's strange behavior, and his heart couldn't help but stir.

Years ago, this old Taoist priest was always chanting about Yinghuo Shouxin, the disaster of the saints, which was greatly despised by the people of the Special Affairs Bureau.

But later, the World-destroying Serpent descended, and An Qisheng was born, although it was somewhat different from what he said, it could be considered a match in a vague way.

Therefore, imperceptibly, this seemingly eccentric old Taoist priest's words now carried a different weight.

"I, I can't see the feng shui of this island..."

Xu Hongyun twisted his fingers, with a somewhat surprised and uncertain expression, "But how, how is that possible?"

"Feng shui? Are you talking about the magnetic field?"

Hearing Xu Hongyun's surprised voice, Su Jie's heart stirred, and he walked over: "I heard that the ancients called the magnetic field of life Qi Luck, and the magnetic field of heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers feng shui. Using feng shui to nourish Qi Luck is called 'harmony between man and nature'?"

"Does Dr. Su also have research in this field?"

Xu Hongyun raised his eyebrows, but he wasn't too surprised.

Su Jie was a leading expert in artificial intelligence, biological genes, and other fields. He had also cultivated Gang Qi, making him both scholarly and martial.

It was normal for him to know some feng shui.

"I know a little bit."

Su Jie glanced at the island: "Daoist Xu said there's no feng shui on the island, meaning there's no magnetic field? That's not right..."

"Not the feng shui I'm familiar with."

Xu Hongyun's expression was grave, "From a feng shui perspective, there shouldn't be an island here at all. No wonder 'Yinglong' couldn't find Lao Xue's whereabouts, so that's how it is."

"No matter what, let's go to the island first."

Bai Hu's expression changed several times as he listened to the two men's conversation. Before he could speak, Mr. Di had already spoken: "Leave a few people behind to wait for our news."

"Will there be any danger?"

Bai Hu hesitated.

"Is there anything the Special Affairs Bureau does that isn't dangerous?"

Mr. Di shook his head slightly: "Find Lao Xue, and with such a small island, it's not difficult to flatten it."

"Such an island is very valuable, how can we flatten it?"

Xu Hongyun couldn't wait and urged the yacht forward.

Su Jie was noncommittal and went to the island with everyone.

.....

Bang!

Bang!

As soon as they landed on the island, everyone's hearts were shaken as they heard the sound of huge waves crashing and sand and rocks flying in the center of the island.

"This is...fist wind?!"

Su Jie's pupils shrank, and Bai Hu and the others had already darted out like arrows.

This movement revealed the strengths and weaknesses of several people.

The dozens of Dreamwalkers led by Mr. Di were all experts, stepping silently and moving extremely fast, covering tens of meters with each step, even faster than a Dan-embracing expert's full burst.

Although they couldn't compare to a great expert like Bai Hu who cultivated both Gangjin and True Qi, they were still outstanding.

In comparison, the slowest was Mr. Di.

This middle-aged, balding Special Affairs Bureau captain, who came from a clerical background, walked like a cat, landing silently, but his speed was much slower.

Su Jie easily caught up with him: "Mr. Di doesn't seem to be in a hurry."

Every captain of the Special Affairs Bureau was not a simple character. This Mr. Di seemed ordinary, but he didn't dare to underestimate him.

"It's not hiding my clumsiness, but a lack of strength."

Mr. Di slowed down, adjusted his breathing, and then opened his mouth to say, "People like Dr. Su are the pillars of the country."

"Mr. Di is too modest."

Su Jie smiled and said no more.

He took a step and overtook Mr. Di, passing along the side of the road overgrown with bushes, approaching a small forest.

Bang!

Bai Hu and the others had just stopped when they heard a low, muffled sound, like a drum or thunder.

The small forest was shaking from the vibration.

"Hmm?!"

Bai Hu raised his hand to stop his subordinates and looked at the forest, his pupils constricting.

This was an unknown shrub forest, not very large, and one could see through it at a glance.

Not only Bai Hu, but all the experts of the Special Affairs Bureau behind him, as well as Su Jie and Mr. Di, all saw the scene inside the forest.

At the end of the forest was a freshwater lake, above which hung a waterfall, crashing against the lake surface and making a 'crashing' sound.

At this time, in the lake, under the waterfall, amidst the misty water vapor, a man sat cross-legged.

The man was an old man with a thin face, gray hair and beard, neither tall nor short, but as strong and vigorous as a pine tree. He closed his eyes and concentrated, as if practicing Qi.

And the sounds like thunder were coming from his body.

It sounded like the roaring of tigers and leopards, or the sound of a beating heart!

"Master Xue, Grandmaster Xue?!"

Bai Hu and the others were all surprised. The scene they had expected didn't appear. Grandmaster Xue was cultivating in seclusion on this island?

"That is..."

Su Jie's eyes narrowed, but they fell on 'Xue Zheng's' dantian.

He sat with his five hearts facing the sky, and at his dantian, there was a crystal ball, which was emitting a faint light under the refracted light of the water.

"Something's not right..."

An expert from the Special Affairs Bureau wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Bai Hu, who stared at Xue Zheng, his heart pounding.

Although he couldn't see anything, he sensed an extremely strong sense of danger!

Bai Hu was shocked.

His spiritual cultivation had not yet reached the realm of the Divine Vision Grandmasters like Mu Longcheng, Juechen Daoist, and Garuda. At this time, he had such a strong sense of warning.

Obviously, there was undisguised and intense malice in the forest!

Clatter~

Mr. Di stopped, and a solemn expression appeared on his always smiling face: "Yinglong, is that Lao Xue in the forest?"

"Yes."

Yinglong replied coldly: "He has a positioning device on him..."

"Hoo!"

Before Yinglong's answer could land, a gust of wind suddenly rose in the forest.

Su Jie saw it clearly. A condensed, unscattered white gas shot out of Xue Zheng's mouth for more than ten meters, like a magical force, pulling the surrounding air and stirring up a gale.

Under the gale, large trees were shaking, and sand and rocks were flying.

For a moment, the sense of warning in everyone's hearts rose to the highest level, and they couldn't help but gather together.

Many specially made guns were locked on Xue Zheng at the end of the forest.

"'Twilight of the Gods', you pitiful people, who gave you the courage to show hostility to a demigod?"

When everyone's spirits were highly tense, an old voice, like a chant, rang in everyone's ears: "Put it down, if you don't want to die."

This voice seemed to have magic power.

At the same time as hearing this voice, dozens of people, including Su Jie, Mr. Di, and Bai Hu, all had a moment of trance.

Many experts from the Special Affairs Bureau couldn't help but put down their guns.

"Hmm?!"

After a moment of trance, Su Jie suddenly woke up and shouted like a thunderclap from his tongue: "Wake up!"

When Su Jie opened his mouth, it was as if he had spit out all the gas in his body, and a visible wave of air rippled in front of him.

The Gang wind lashed out at the Special Affairs Bureau experts who were about to kneel down on the ground.

"Ah!"

The intense pain woke everyone up, and their faces changed greatly.

"As expected of someone who obtained a crystal ball, you actually got rid of this God's 'word spirit'."

Xue Zheng raised his head, and in his originally calm and deep eyes, a strange gray-white color appeared: "You are qualified to become this God's word spirit high priest."

Word spirit?

Demigod?

Word spirit high priest?

Su Jie's body shook, who was this person?

"Who are you?! Where's Lao Xue?!"

Xu Hongyun, who had arrived last, was furious.

In the past three years, with the increase of Dreamwalkers and the introduction of information about the dream world, the guns of the Special Affairs Bureau had been improved.

Properties such as 'breaking Qi' and 'breaking Gang' had been added. Even a Divine Vision martial artist would not dare to take a shot head-on.

"Fire!"

Xu Hongyun suddenly attacked, Bai Hu's heart skipped a beat, but he also roared at the same time.

Da da da da~~~

In the next instant, an overwhelming torrent of bullets had penetrated the hundreds of meters wide shrub forest, covering 'Yan' like a net.

"Self-righteous but ignorant mortals. How can you hurt a God?"

The overwhelming sound of gunfire could not cover up the voice of the mysterious man who called himself 'Yan'. Su Jie saw clearly that the mysterious man was rubbing the crystal ball with one hand and raising the other:

"Everything that is going to hurt me will become my spear, piercing the enemy's shield!"

Words become reality!

Su Jie's heart was pounding, and he didn't even have time to make a sound.

He saw that the overwhelming torrent of bullets that had been shot out had suddenly reversed and bounced back at a speed even faster than when they had gone.

"Not good!"

Bai Hu and the others' hearts skipped a beat.

Even though they were all veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles, they had never thought that the bullets they had shot out would bounce back. Even if they dodged as fast as they could, they were still overwhelmed by the bullets.

In an instant, screams rang out one after another.

Except for Bai Hu and Xu Hongyun, all the special forces members had their guns knocked away, and some even had their arms broken!

"What kind of attack is this?"

Bai Hu was shocked and angry: "Everyone retreat, get out of the island!"

"Since you've come, how can you leave?"

The sound of gunfire had not yet dissipated, the smoke had not yet cleared, and the murmur like a devil's whisper rang in everyone's hearts again:

"Before God, everyone should be humble, everyone should worship, everyone should be devout!"

This voice of word spirit covered the sky and the earth, and was like a maggot on the bone. Even Bai Hu and Su Jie could not escape it and were enveloped in it.

Then, to everyone's great change of expression, they only felt that the killing intent and hostility in their hearts had all melted away like ice and snow and disappeared in an instant!

Even Mr. Di, who was about to issue a space-based strike order, trembled and couldn't say it!

He was extremely unwilling in his heart.

Of course, he had made complete preparations when he came out, including many powerful weapons, including space-based weapons. He only needed to move his finger, and Yinglong would launch them.

But unfortunately, he couldn't say it, and he couldn't move his finger!

"The smoke clears!"

In a faint voice, the dust kicked up by the crowd and stirred up by the wind visibly dissipated.

"What exactly are you?!"

Xu Hongyun was extremely shocked, but even he could not generate any killing intent when facing this monster who had taken the body of his decades-old friend.

What was this thing?

"Not a person, a God."

Amidst the misty water vapor, the mysterious man casually beckoned, and Su Jie's crystal ball involuntarily flew out and was held in his palm:

"Demigod 'Yan', a creation of the eternal and supreme God '緈', the most perfect demigod in the 'Sun God's' kingdom of God!"

With the two crystal balls in hand, 'Yan' nodded with satisfaction, not caring about what everyone was thinking, and said lightly:

"This demi-plane will be the place where this God 'raises' his divine throne and forges his divine personality. You don't have to worry that I will kill you.

But you shouldn't challenge the majesty of a God again and again!"

As he spoke, his eyes fell on an old tree in the far distance:

"Your hiding is meaningless to a God."

Who?

Su Jie and the others looked over.

They saw an old Taoist with a turtle-shaped back, crane-like posture, and a beard like thatch, like an ancient general, stepping out from behind the old tree that had fallen with a crash.

"Daoist Juechen!"

Everyone exclaimed. The person who came was none other than Daoist Juechen, who had been rushing all the way.

Su Jie's heart stirred, and he exchanged glances with Bai Hu. They both took a step back, their feet landing in front of the fallen guns.

"You are a God?"

Daoist Juechen's Taoist robe was filled with wind as he stepped forward, his aura majestic, like a mountain shifting: "You who seize people's bodies, how are you worthy of being called a God?!"

"What do you know about Gods?"

'Yan' held the two crystal balls and looked lightly at Daoist Juechen, who was stepping forward: "How can a God care about how lambs look at them, how they think?"

"Hahaha!"

Daoist Juechen laughed wildly, his aura rising in layers: "If you don't care, then why are you hiding in your kennel and afraid to go out?

If you are a God, then what are you afraid of?"

Gods may not love the world.

But they must be fearless and not need to be self-contained!

That invincible figure on Tianlian Mountain, who crossed the eastern hemisphere with a single sword and slashed the serpent above the ocean, what had he ever cared about?

He had never called himself a God, so what are you?

Daoist Juechen's will was extremely strong. He stepped forward, allowing all kinds of strange forces to invade, but he did not stop.

"Afraid?"

'Yan' didn't know what he thought of, but his face suddenly turned gloomy: "Outsider, you are blaspheming the majesty of a God!"

In that instant, what appeared in Yan's heart was the person he was most afraid of in this 'demi-plane'.

'Hmm?'

The subtle change in Yan's attitude immediately made Daoist Juechen think of something. This ghost thing was indeed afraid of something!

And at this moment, what was most feared on Xuan Xing?

'Blaspheming the Gods?'

The thought flashed through his mind in an instant, and Daoist Juechen had an idea and sneered:

"Since you understand human words, then don't you know that the person whose body you seized was that person's martial arts enlightenment teacher?"

"Hmm?!"

'Yan' finally changed color, and a fierce light flashed in his gray-white eyes: "Who are you talking about?!"

The fluctuation of Yan's mind lasted less than a second, but it was long for Bai Hu and Su Jie, let alone Daoist Juechen, who was over a hundred years old and came from the military?

'Now!'

Bai Hu and Su Jie exchanged glances, both wanting to bite the tips of their tongues. They kicked their feet, grabbed the guns in their hands, and fired at the two crystal balls from the left and right.

But faster than the two of them was Daoist Juechen!

This Taoist, as strong as a fierce general, stomped his feet, as if a shell exploded. The loud noise awakened all the special forces members who had been confused by the word spirit.

At the same time, it turned into a violent force to push his huge body like an arrow across the gale, stepping on the lake!

Bang!

Raising his fist like overturning a mountain, the huge fist slammed down:

"God?"
