Nightmare Light

Chapter 310 The Kin of Gods

Qianlan's brutal beating of the artificial blood god lasted for a full ten minutes.

The scene was absolutely horrific.

But Lin Wang also understood why she was so angry—the Lord of the Mountains wields the power of the mountains and is theoretically the strongest and most powerful of all the gods.

Those mountain-like stars were invincible in past battles, no matter what kind of enemy they faced.

But now, she was beaten into submission by a mortal's creation, a counterfeit whose divine authority was not even established!

It can only be said that even gods have tempers.

The stars rained down like thunder. The Blood God Cult had spent countless years, countless efforts, resources, and painstaking work, even sacrificing the lives of almost all its cult members, to create this artificial god...

Qianlan's attack gave off the vibe of smashing Chaoshan meatballs.

After watching for a few minutes, Lin Wang felt that although Qian Lan was still angry, he should still stop her.

"Ahem, that..."

"Shut up! I haven't had enough!" The mountain-lord's angry voice rang out.

The next second, Lin Wang said only one sentence, which made the retired god stop what he was doing.

"There are still many immortals waiting for you to save them."

Upon hearing this, Qianlan's expression immediately calmed down.

She took a breath: "Landlord...you're right."

After regaining her composure, she shook her head and mocked herself, "I can't believe I got so angry... I'm becoming more and more like a mortal since leaving my divine position."

The three "people" turned their gazes to the battlefield not far away, where the dust and blood mist had just dissipated, revealing a huge and gruesome wreckage.

The Blood Giant's enormous body had been smashed beyond recognition, resembling a clump of rotting flesh piled up in the deep pit.

To be honest, when Lin Wang saw the Blood Giant smashed into such a mangled mess, his first reaction was a little heartache—after all, this was a very good technology, and if used for good, it would be of great help to the world.

But then he thought again that there was nothing to be nostalgic about—after all, the technology came from a great king of unknown origin, and he was very likely not up to any good.

"Mortals' wishful thinking to control gods... Hmph." Qian Lan snorted, turned her head, and without any hesitation, prepared to leave.

"and many more."

Lin Wang suddenly spoke, looking solemnly at the pile of bloody flesh.

"What?" Qianlan noticed Lin Wang's gaze. "Landlord, do you think this thing isn't dead yet?"

“I’m just not sure,” Lin Wang said. “Although it’s man-made, it’s still a mythical creature… and it’s a field like flesh and blood, which is very easy to reshape and reorganize.”

He lit a small white flame and walked towards the pile of flesh and blood: "It's better to be cautious."

Qian Lan paused for a moment, then smiled and looked at Lin Wang with admiration: "You're right... landlord."

The last two words are emphasized.

Lin Wang threw the white flame at the lump of rotten flesh. The scorching flames instantly covered the entire pit, and a stench and black smoke filled the room.

Nothing appeared in the flames.

“A man-made false god… he really is dead,” Qianlan said.

The next second, a dark red light suddenly burst out from the flesh and blood, transforming into a red streak of light that sped away into the distance.

Then, the dark red light crashed into an ice wall that appeared out of nowhere with a thud.

Lin Wang squeezed hard, and the ice wall instantly opened up, turning into a box formed of white fire, which shrank towards the center, becoming smaller and smaller.

Eventually, the white fire box shrank to the size of a small suitcase and fell to the ground.

Lin Wang walked over and picked up the box. Inside the box, a dark red stream of light, like a constantly changing sea urchin, contracted, expanded, grew tentacles, then contracted and deformed again... repeating this process continuously.

What venom...

Lin Wang thought to himself, "What do you mean?"

Qianlan and Cang leaned closer and looked into the box.

"A false god created by a mortal actually has this..." Cang's tone was complicated.

"What is this?" Lin Wang asked.

“Simply put, this is ‘us’.” Qian Lan took over the conversation, a cluster of star-like crystals gathering in her palm. “You can think of it as the ‘mythological origin’ of the artificial blood god.”

Her tone was complicated: "Whether we accept it or not, we have to admit that when the mythological origin appeared in His body... He, me, and Wenqu became true kindred spirits."

A true kindred spirit...?

Lin Wang glanced at the "venom" in the box, and for a moment he didn't know what to do with it, so he put it into the tree fern space.

"Go save people first."

Now that the battle was over, Lin Wang released Dog Brother and the other two without further ado.

The group of six ran toward the experimental field where the immortals were imprisoned. Along the way, the middle-aged cultist looked at Lin Wang's back with complicated expressions.

When everyone arrived at the entrance of the experimental field where the immortals were being held, Cui Qi'an spoke.

"Um...when are you planning to kill me?"

Everyone stopped in their tracks. Lin Wang looked completely bewildered: "Why would I kill you?"

Cui Qi'an opened his mouth, then gestured with his hands to resemble a tree: "That tree, is it the legendary tree fern? The World Tree is in your hands... and you're just a mortal, yet you have several gods helping you..."

Cui Qi'an said, "I know that if you let me see such a big secret, you definitely don't intend to let me leave alive! But I only have one purpose before I die! Can you let me die knowing why?"

The middle-aged cult member's face fell, and he sighed deeply: "Judging from the power you possess and that tree... you must also be an agent of some 'replacement of the gods' plan? Is your tree a real tree fern or a fake? Which organization are you from? A member of the rebels?"

After seeing a tree fern, this guy imagined a whole bunch of things...

Lin Wang complained in his heart.

He asked Cui Qi'an, "Why do you think I want to kill you?"

"I've seen such a huge secret, how could I possibly survive? Besides, you're my competitors." The middle-aged cult member had already locked Lin Wang into the idea of ​​"a certain cult organization."

Lin Wang smiled and said, "Now that you know these secrets, I really can't let you run around outside spreading rumors..."

"See? They really wanted to kill me." Cui Qi'an sighed.

“But I don’t need to kill you like this.” Lin Wang changed the subject.

Cui Qi'an immediately said, "I know most of the Blood Cult's plans and secrets, and I am also a top-notch technician. I also know the locations of many of the Blood Cult's secret facilities, and the technicians inside are under my command—you will need my help."

Tian Taozi opened her mouth wide, and after a few seconds, she said blankly, "You just sold yourself like that?"

“It’s better than death.” Cui Qi’an smiled faintly and said, “Besides, I’ve also realized that the plan of the Divine Blood Cult… the Blood Cult is indeed not going to work.”

Lin Wang nodded: "You can have a place to live under the tree fern. When conditions permit, I can even let you continue your research, but the premise is that you must obey my command."

“That’s for the best.” Cui Qi’an nodded, then bowed very respectfully to Lin Wang, “Chief.”

Then, he raised his head and took the lead into the experimental field.

As the door opened, Dog Brother, who was not far away, heard the middle-aged cult member muttering incoherently—

"Reading pirated books is a fucking rip-off."
