Sweeping both worlds: Starting from idealistic martial arts

Chapter 454 Battle against Gojo Satoru!
The Martial Realm is a vast world covered by an endless sea, whose maximum boundaries cannot be explored.

In this world, there is no concept of planets, but rather a worldview similar to the flat Earth theory.

Countless continents, carried by endless oceans, are randomly scattered across the world.

These lands are like a torn star map, separated by chasms of billions of light-years apart. In some areas, even light itself requires an eternal journey to barely reach them.

At this moment, within the new dynasty, the ability users like the Rotten King were filled with worry about Fang Can's sudden disappearance.

Beyond the sea, countless light-years away from the new dynasty, a landmass spanning 6000 trillion square kilometers is rooted in the endless ocean.

This supercontinent, with a surface area exceeding a trillion times that of the sun, is home to trillions of humans.

At the very center of this landmass stands a towering cylindrical building that reaches into the clouds, its size beyond measure.

Anyone on the entire continent who is outdoors can see this colossal tower reaching the heavens.

At this moment, at the very top of this giant tower, in the secret chamber at the top, the heavy alloy door slid open silently, and a woman stepped out of the darkness.

Her platinum blonde short hair was neat, and her dark blue sleeveless leather jacket tightly hugged her strong, well-defined body, with a pure white lining and her exposed arms wrapped in white bandages.

The black boots echoed dully as they stepped onto the metal floor.

Those violet eyes swept over the guards, exuding an aura of aloofness that kept strangers at bay.

As soon as the woman came out of the room, the two female guards standing at the door bowed respectfully and said, "Welcome, Leader Ye, for your great achievement in martial arts."

The woman slightly raised her chin, her bandaged fingers unconsciously rubbing the cold zipper of her jacket: "After two thousand years of arduous cultivation, I've finally managed to reach the sixth level. What about the others?"

"Reporting to the leader, you are the first to successfully break through to the sixth stage and emerge from seclusion."

One of the guards replied, "The other leaders are still in seclusion within the Cosmic Light Space, awaiting the breakthrough of the final barrier."

Upon hearing that he was the first to come out, a barely perceptible hint of pride flashed across Ye Xiu's eyes.

Almost simultaneously! Another massive metal door, dozens of meters away, emitted a muffled groan.

The harsh sound of metal scraping echoed through the corridor as a man with a body as muscular as a steel mountain and eyes that seemed to harbor a lion strode out.

The voices of the two male guards standing at the other entrance rang out at the opportune moment: "Welcome, Leader Qianyan, for your great achievement in divine skills!"

Stepping out of the iron gate, Qian Yan's gaze instantly locked onto Ye Xiu, slightly surprised: "You've come out too. What realm are you at?"

"You've reached the sixth level. What about you?" Ye Xiu asked calmly.

"It took two thousand years to cultivate to the peak of the fifth level."

With a furrowed brow, Qian Yan sighed softly, "The cultivation system in this martial arts world is indeed quite good. With each advancement, the power increases exponentially, but the corresponding difficulty of cultivation is also increasing rapidly."

"Relying on the acceleration of time in the leader's cosmic space, it can only be accelerated to the sixth level at most in a short period of time. After that, it cannot be increased by trickery, but requires profound and unquantifiable comprehension."

"Moreover, with the same tricks we used in the early stages, the difficulty of advancing will increase exponentially with each step after the sixth level."

"It doesn't matter." Ye Xiu waved his hand and said indifferently, "Time is on our side. Let the other superpowered individuals use the method of skipping class in wheelchairs to cultivate to the sixth level."

"As for subsequent breakthroughs in cultivation levels, let's brainstorm together and gradually increase the upper limit of cultivation that can be achieved by taking shortcuts."

After saying that, she looked at her bandaged right hand and slowly said:

"Now that we've emerged from seclusion first, let's return to the mortal world and conquer that star system."

"The leader consulted a diviner, who determined that there is only one planet in the entire galaxy with evidence of large-scale activity by carbon-based life forms. In other words, all the ability users in that galaxy are on that planet."

"That must be a group of low-level civilizations that haven't even left their home planet yet."

"In other words, as long as we destroy that planet and kill all the low-level ability users on it, we can seize the ability reserves of an entire star system."

Hearing his companion's words, Qian Yan couldn't help but frown and said, "Let's see how things go first. If there are any talented individuals on that planet, we might as well just recruit them and save ourselves the trouble."

"A civilization that occupies the resources of an entire galaxy, has developed for countless years, yet has never even left its planet—do you think it's possible for advanced ability users to emerge from there?" Ye Xiu countered.

"Let's take a look first. After all, all the ability users in the entire star system are on that planet. Theoretically, there should be a few ability users capable of destroying a planet."

Qian Yan advised, "Moreover, there might be some other explanations on the Martial World Continent, which is opposite to that planet."

Looking at the indecisive man beside him, Ye Xiu couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's up to you. You can negotiate after we dock."

Seeing his companion back down, Qian Yan smiled and said, "Let's go. The interdimensional exchange is about to begin. If we don't hurry, we won't be able to be teleported to the spaceship."

"Hmm..." Ye Xiu nodded lightly.

Then, the two figures vanished from their spot in the next instant, turning into rainbow light and disappearing into the distance.

……

On the other end.

Within the future of the Sixth Rank Universe that Yinghan is connected to.

The radiance receded like the tide. A figure in the center of the radiance slowly revealed its clear outline.

"It actually summoned it!"

Looking at the young man's appearance, with his white hair and red eyes, handsome and majestic, just as described in historical records, Li Longyun was overjoyed.

If the description of this national destiny arena is accurate, then the god who is the source of all people's faith and who created and ended the golden age must be incredibly powerful.

Meeting the other person's gaze, Fang Can looked up and frowned, saying, "You're the one who called me here?"

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Li Longyun nodded nervously and said, “It was I who summoned you, hoping that you could represent the Great Zhou Empire in battle and defeat the opposing Great Qing Empire.”

"Great Zhou?" Fang Can frowned slightly and said, "What kind of country is this? Why should I help you deal with Great Qing? Just because you summoned me here? And what about the Serving Empire I established?"

Upon hearing Fang Can's question, Li Longyun was taken aback and hurriedly replied, "Reporting to Your Excellency, this is the Divine Kingdom Era, billions of years after the Golden Age. The Serving Empire has been destroyed, and its past history has vanished into dust."

"In that case, I have even less reason to help you."

Fang Can shook his head calmly and said, "You destroyed the empire I created, forgot my existence, and now you expect me to help you? What kind of logic is that?"

Upon hearing Fang Can's refusal, Li Longyun became anxious, but was immediately interrupted by the loud laughter beside her.

The boy opposite them burst into wild laughter:

"Hahahaha, I thought you, this god I've never even heard of, were some kind of powerful being. Turns out you're nothing special. You're saying you're refusing, but you're probably just scared."

As the boy spoke, various comments floated across the screen in Daqing.

"Hahaha, I knew the Great Zhou was nothing special, just a bunch of braggarts." "Exactly, exactly, what founder? Scientists have already said that there could be no founder in the Golden Age. This god is probably a false god."

"They believe even flawed historical theories; their true nature is self-evident!"

"The guy representing the Great Zhou this time actually believes in pseudo-historical theories. He's really something else."

"After this battle, Daqing will be able to annex Dazhou and grow stronger once again."

……

Amidst the flurry of comments, the boy suddenly produced a card and laughed, "You mere pseudo-god summoned by the Great Zhou Empire? Take a look at the gods of our Great Qing Empire!"

After saying that, he revealed his card, which depicted a half-body man with flowing white hair, a mysterious smile, and his eyes covered by a black cloth.

"This is Gojo Satoru, the third-rank god who became incredibly popular during our golden age!"

In historical archaeology, this Gojou was an absolute powerhouse who looked down on an era, and his ability to kill Wuliang Kongchu was unstoppable.

Looking at the laughing boy, Fang Can frowned and asked, "Who is this idiot?"

"My lord, this is your opponent this time, the Great Qing Empire," Li Longyun said cautiously, afraid that Fang Can would not help her.

Fang Can: Oh...

Actually, they had planned to take action from the very beginning when the arrogant young man provoked them.

However, it seems that the rules of this arena tournament prevented attacks from being launched unless the opponent summoned them, thus completely refusing to launch sneak attacks.

During their conversation, the arrogant young man had already activated the cards in his hand.

He then initiated the summons according to the descriptions in the historical texts.

The boy loudly proclaimed, "Gojo Satoru is the master of incantations, unparalleled in the world."

"His surname is Gojo, his given name is Go, and his courtesy name is Muryo. He was born into the Gojo clan of the Gojo family, and was the de facto head of the family, exercising his authority on his behalf. He was born with extraordinary talent, possessing "six eyes" in his eyes, which allowed him to perceive the subtle power of incantations and observe changes in the world. He was born to be a prodigy in the world of incantations."

……

At the scene, as the boy made his declaration, a faint glow erupted from the card in his hand.

As a deity worshipped by the entire nation's faith, rather than someone like Fang Can who lost his faith and started anew, he naturally doesn't need to be randomly selected, but rather is anchored by the entire nation's faith.

When needed, it can be summoned directly based on faith.

Under Fang Can's gaze, boundless dark light shone brightly, enveloping the entire National Fortune Arena. Then, a figure appeared in the devout gaze of the Daqing Empire.

His flowing silver hair, his signature black eye patch covering his eyes, and his incomparably handsome face sported his trademark smile, full of confidence and a touch of cynicism.

Hey everyone!

A hearty voice rang out from the arena, followed by a clamor throughout the entire Daqing Empire.

"Aaaaaaah, the five gods are so cool!!!"

"God is amazing! I love you! Ahhhhhh!"

"Lord Gojo! Most High Lord! Have mercy on your believers!"

"I love the gods, gods, I want to bear your children!"

This is because the entire Daqing Empire worships and believes in Gojo Satoru, the only deity.

So, to put it simply, the entire Daqing Empire is dominated by Gojo Satoru's die-hard fans.

At this moment, when Gojo Satoru appeared, the entire Daqing Empire, from the prime minister to the common people, was in an uproar, with everyone's eyes filled with fanaticism and clamor.

On the side of the Great Zhou, morale was extremely low.

Because Fang Can was new to the area, no one believed in him at all, and the difference in popularity was immediately apparent.

In this era of national destiny, popularity equals strength; the more people you gain their faith in, the greater the power you will reap.

As the crowd erupted in a frenzy of noise, the power of faith condensed on Gojo Satoru, and his aura rose at a visible speed!
The vast surge of magical energy almost solidified into a tangible ocean! The earth beneath their feet groaned under the immense pressure, and the air became thick and icy.

Seeing that Gojo Satoru's strength had increased, Fang Can didn't have much of an opinion.

His only problem is...

"Why does this Gojo Satoru only have an upper body?" Fang Can asked, pointing to the person opposite him.

"So the card you were holding earlier only depicted half of the body because Gojo Satoru only has the upper half?"

In Fang Can's sight, Gojo Satoru floated in mid-air, his body like a rootless duckweed, disappearing completely from the waist down.

"He doesn't even have a penis, so you're saying you want to have a baby for him? He doesn't have that ability," Fang Can complained.

silence--

At this moment, with Fang Can's blunt words, the entire Qing Dynasty fell into a deathly silence.

Faced with Fang Can's questioning, the boy who had just been laughing wildly immediately flew into a rage and said:

"What do you know, you false god? Gojo Satoru was deified after his death. Naturally, whatever he was like when he died, that's what he'll be like after becoming a god!"

"The deity was cut in half at the waist by the enemy. His achievements during his lifetime are worshipped by us, and the people remember his every move and can recite his life story by heart. So after being deified, he naturally only has half a body."

“That’s right, half a body is called Gojo Satoru, and a complete body is perfect. So the god should be called Jujo Satoru!” A citizen of Qing Kingdom said matter-of-factly.

Listening to the boy's explanation, a thoughtful look flashed in Fang Can's eyes. So this was the so-called power of faith!

Simply put, since these people don't actually exist, a real god will be created and constructed based on the perceptions of all living beings.

Just as there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes, these gods may be shaped according to people's stereotypes, meaning that the character of the gods may be influenced by the public's perception.

Therefore, naturally, some unofficial historical deities that differ from the original versions may be created.

After all, once a character comes into existence from the creator's hands, the changes in its image no longer depend on the creator.

Fang Can pondered for a moment: if he were the protagonist of a work, and readers reconstructed their understanding of him based on his life experiences and through historical records, what kind of image would he have?
'Hmm... Showing off repression? The ultimate show of repression? Or perhaps a pervert?' Fang Can thought to himself, feeling a little guilty.

Although he has always been a very upright person, it is reasonable for readers to have some misconceptions about him after reading about his experiences.

'These are all misunderstandings about me by the world.' Fang Can thought to himself, then looked at Gojo Satoru in front of him.
