Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 336 News from Madison in the New Year

Orlando.

A beam of green light shone down, and Louis emerged from it.

"As expected, traveling by magic ball is still the fastest. I wonder when I will be able to open up space and walk in space."

He exclaimed in surprise, before Louis even entered the house.

Carrie spread her telekinetic energy outwards, instantly noticing Louis's return. With a whoosh, she flew out of the room and appeared before Louis, quietly watching him.

Louis reached out his hand, and Carrie naturally snuggled into his arms as they walked toward the house.

Open the door.

David and Jenny were tidying up the house; it looked like they were doing a thorough cleaning.

"Wow! Louis, you're back."

David threw down his broom, walked over, and gave Louis a warm hug, which Louis returned.

"Uncle David, I'm back."

Upon hearing this, David was taken aback, then asked with a hint of trepidation, "Aren't you leaving anymore?"

Louis nodded. "Yes, things are basically resolved. I won't be going out for a while."

"Hahaha! That's great, Jenny! Jenny!" David was overjoyed, putting one hand on Louis's shoulder and turning back to call out to Jenny.

"What's wrong, David?"

"Get ready, we're going camping."

???

Louis was stunned, then looked at David in disbelief, as if to say, How dare you? Have you forgotten the painful lessons of the past?

David laughed heartily, "We won't drive. It's just in the woods behind the mountain. We can all lift up our glasses, enjoy the scenery, feel the breeze, and have a barbecue."

"The back mountain, huh? That's alright." Louis unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

David rolled his eyes. "Don't think of me as so unreliable. I know my own weird, terrible luck. By the way, have you seen Mary and Eulenka? How are they doing lately?"

"They only reported good news on the phone and never told me the bad news, so I don't know how their lives are actually over there."

"That's great. Eulenka is now competing for student council president... Mary is now a darling of many professors at the school..."

Louis and David walked to the center of the living room and sat on the sofa, chatting happily.

Jenny, who had just been cleaning, came out of the kitchen at that moment, bringing out a plate of fruit and a few glasses of water. She invited Carrie to sit down, and the two women started chatting.

As for what they were talking about, it was probably family, love, fashion, and the like.

Carrie's mother, the fanatical and contradictory believer Margaret, had previously tried to manipulate Carrie into believing in God as well, calling her someone given a mission by God, which hurt Carrie deeply.

After being enlightened by Emma, ​​who was always unrestrained and thoroughly wicked, Carrie did something that finally calmed her mother down. Recently, she has even stopped clashing with others because of her faith and has started doing volunteer work, community activities, or working as a bank employee, among other things.

In short, it seems to have become much more normal.

As for the methods Carrie used...

Judging from Jenny's slightly open mouth and her stunned gaze, it was probably not a conventional method.

But it doesn't matter, judging from Carrie's slightly pleased expression, she's quite satisfied.

David and Louis, who were standing nearby, were also having a pleasant conversation. They even took out a bottle of spirits from the refrigerator and started drinking it straight from the bottle.

To be fair, David hasn't wasted his time at home all these years. He's collected a lot of knowledge about the occult, whether it's true or not, he can talk about it quite fluently now.

He also worshipped the Kitchen God every day and diligently practiced the internal energy cultivation method taught by Louis. However, due to his age, aptitude, and other reasons, he encountered difficulties and made slow progress, just like Louis's grandfather Karl and Max.

But with patience, he managed to cultivate his realm to the middle stage.

Therefore, he and Louis actually had a lot in common.

"...So theoretically speaking, firearms that have killed many people can also possess a malevolent aura to intimidate ghosts and monsters."

"Um, Uncle David, your theory is good, but it's best not to do it that way. Firearms really can't have any malevolent energy. You can only use special bullets or engrave magic circles or formations."

"Why? I think it makes perfect sense. You mentioned things like butcher knives and cleavers..."

"Because this set of rules, to a certain extent, can only be implemented with my help. If a normal person tried to use this method on American soil, it would be useless and could easily cost them their life..."

"..."

Regardless of what was being discussed, the atmosphere was very lively.

The four of them were chatting enthusiastically.

Emma didn't even notice when she came home.

Watching her father chatting happily with Louis without even glancing at her, Emma scratched her head: Have I fallen out of favor?

Oh no, Louis was always the most favored, so it's alright.

It's approaching noon.

This long chat has finally come to an end.

David and Jenny began to retrieve the stored delicacies of beef and lamb, and, um, a deer leg.

Begin processing it by cutting it into small pieces and stringing them together.

Emma was also helping out, preparing the dipping sauce and other ingredients.

Louis then took some of the beef bones and beef and started making soup and frying steaks.

Carrie was left standing there blankly, not knowing what to do. Finally, she went to Jenny's side and helped her skewer the meat.

soon.

Half past twelve noon.

Louis and his five companions, carrying tablecloths, barbecue grills, and various snacks and food, appeared at a break in the back mountain, where they could see the vast scenery in the distance and the sparkling stream.

Soon, the aroma of cumin combined with beef, mutton, and venison, heated by the flames and releasing hot oil, began to waft through the air.

A picnic officially began.

……

Time is like flowing water, ceaselessly rushing forward, impossible to stop.

Even if you reach out to stop it, it will slip away quietly through your fingers.

A trance.

It's already the end of December, Christmas time.

At this moment, ice crystals began to fall sporadically from the sky, turning into thumb-sized snowflakes within minutes. Accompanied by the cold air, they swirled through the streets, forcing people to wear heavy clothes and exhaling long, white plumes of snow.

At Louis's doorstep, two giant snowmen, each three meters tall, had already been erected. In addition, there were also lifelike ice sculptures depicting strange and unusual poses, such as a hunting dog with its mouth open as if about to bite, a soldier aiming and firing, and a knight holding a sharp sword.

Louis, who was already immune to heat and cold, admired his masterpiece. These ice sculptures were all carved by his own hands, bit by bit, without using any divine power.

Doing this helps cultivate patience.

Okay, that's just one aspect. The main issue is that Louis is trying to use the Myriad Treasures Shattering Void Technique to transform the ice sculpture into a semi-magical artifact, but his progress is currently zero.

At that moment, Emma came out, glancing at the statues with ill intent. Before she could do anything, she heard someone say, "If you dare to destroy these statues, I'll hang you up and beat you." Emma subtly looked away and ran to Louis with a fawning smile. "How could I do that? You don't trust me at all."

"Hehe." Louis chuckled but remained silent.

Emma smacked her lips but didn't argue further. "Everything's ready. Dad told me to call you."

"Walk."

Enter the house.

The interior has been decorated with many Christmas ornaments, and the twinkling lights make it look both warm and beautiful.

These are similar to the Spring Festival, involving preparing various items and praying for a good new year.

However, Christmas is a time for praying to God, and it has a stronger religious connotation compared to the Spring Festival.

In fact, Louis didn't care about Christmas at all, nor did he pray to God; it was more like a way to create a festive atmosphere.

Even Louis...

"Louis, come quickly."

David beckoned Louis over, and together they looked at the shrine and the golden sculpture before them.

Holding a jar, dressed in ancient official robes, with a couplet beside him, this golden statue is none other than the Kitchen God.

Behind the shrine was a fireplace burning brightly.

In front of the offering table were various steaming foods, including Western-style pan-fried steak and Chinese-style braised pork, which can be considered a combination of Chinese and Western styles.

Yes, Louis changed the object of Christmas prayer from God to the Kitchen God.

Now you can't even see a cross in your home.

David, who had already converted to Christianity and become a devout believer, had no objection whatsoever. He even spent a lot of money to have the idol, which was supposed to be gilded, made of pure gold!
It looks extremely luxurious.

After bowing to the Kitchen God a few times, the family began to enjoy their food.

The Christmas food was very plentiful, with a total of twenty-four dishes.

From Chinese to Western styles, we have it all.

Louis, Emma, ​​Carrie, David, and Jenny all enjoyed the meal, except for Margaret, who seemed very dissatisfied with the worship of alien gods and remained silent.

Everyone tacitly ignored her.

Outside the window, the cold wind howled, but inside it was warm as spring.

Enjoying delicious food while watching Jim Carrey's comedy movies on TV.

1998 drew to a close in this atmosphere.

The coming year is about to be filled with major events.

This was also the prelude to Louis's formal entry onto the world's high stage.

……

1999 October.

The nodes for ascending to godhood are about to be fully deployed.

Louis had even begun preparing defensive measures and arranging his ascension site.

The ascension ceremony mainly relies on the power of the earth's veins and celestial phenomena to seize the divine status and steal divine power.

The most important of these is the unusual phenomena in the cosmos.

Without these visions, everything would be in vain.

This is the underlying logic behind how someone in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom altered this ritual: the more powerful the celestial phenomena, the more they can obscure heavenly secrets and acquire more divine power.

Louis later made several revisions.

The nodes also become very important, as they can help Louis ascend to godhood with a higher and more secure success rate, and even if unexpected situations occur, he can protect himself. Correspondingly, there is a price to pay. If he suffers any serious damage during the ascension process, the entire North American continent will be affected, and various natural disasters will occur, such as frequent earthquakes, mudslides, and dam breaches.

It can be considered a method of transferring responsibility.

As for the location for ascending to godhood, Louis had already set it up in Orlando, his main base.

As for the specific location, Louis did not choose a base, but instead chose a place at the foot of a small mountain surrounded by many mountains. Here, Louis had arranged for people to dig a huge underground base. Although there was nothing inside and it was very simple, it was stable and hidden enough.

Louis was here at that moment.

Using the power of the Yang God, various methods were set up in this base at the foot of the mountain, including formations and mechanisms. On the ground, all kinds of hidden fortresses and defensive facilities comparable to military battles were built.

The black-armored soldiers, along with the horde of terror dogs, the supernatural scarecrows, and other high-level forces remained at the base at the foot of the mountain.

Elite and ordinary soldiers who had used the witchcraft potion then built defenses on the ground.

In addition, Louis also reserved positions for high-end combatants such as Kayako and Kotoko Higa.

If Louis's plan is followed, this would be the strongest lineup he has besides himself.

"The time was a bit too rushed, and the timing wasn't right either. Otherwise, building the dojo would have been a good thing for improving one's cultivation."

"Forget it, things can't really be perfect. We've done our best with everything we have."

Louis looked at the mysterious red patterns covering his feet and the surrounding walls and exclaimed in amazement.

Louis then released his Yang Spirit to sense the nodes in various locations.

With the main node positioned in Orlando, Louis was able to use the power of the Yang God to perceive the arrangement of other nodes through the main node.

He closed his eyes briefly, and three seconds later, Louis opened them and said softly.

"Five days left."

Having confirmed this, Louis sat cross-legged and began to absorb the primordial energy of heaven and earth to aid in refining the Pure Yang Realm barrier with the help of the moonlight.

When he was completely focused, he even caused the surrounding air to swirl, and invisible primordial energy from heaven and earth began to flow into Louis's body.

While Louis was making the most of every second to train...

Something's happened in Madison, Hollywood, Los Angeles, California.

After graduating from high school and realizing his dream, Madison was sent to Hollywood by Louis.

Here, Kano International also has a certain influence, which can help her pursue her dreams and avoid accepting the unspoken rules of the industry.

Especially after Edith, the head of the brothel, arrived, she received even greater help.

With the help of Qianmen and Cano International, Edith acquired a large amount of funds and connections, established a new entertainment company, and relied on her own lineage in prostitution to use some tricks to quickly reach a level second only to the major giants.

At this scale, Edith naturally wants to go further and become a true giant, or even an oligarch who monopolizes the entertainment industry, but this undoubtedly requires real achievements to support it.

So she began to independently attempt some big-budget, self-produced films, trying to make a real blockbuster that could sweep across America.

In this situation, Madison, who had a close relationship with Louis, was naturally promoted to the top and cultivated by her.

Because of his outstanding looks and physique, Madison lived up to expectations and won over many fans and box office revenue even without showing skin. However, problems soon became apparent.

Madison's terrible personality goes without saying...

The acting was really mediocre!
