Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 344 The Day of Ascension to Godhood (Part 1) A Flawed Mindset

Wednesday, November 1999, 7.

The ninth day of the sixth lunar month, the Jiaxu day of the Xinwei month of the Ji-Mao year.

It is auspicious for marriage, sacrifices, tailoring, net making, capping, and bathing.

Avoid opening warehouses, shipping goods, acquiring property, burial, moving earth, breaking ground, digging wells, and planting.

……

On this day, the Eurasian continent, located in the Eastern Hemisphere, witnessed a total solar eclipse.

One moment the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly, the next second, wisps of black, like mold growing in a room, corroded the edge of the sun and spread rapidly as if they had eaten some kind of superfood.

At this moment, many people boldly looked up at the sun and even started taking pictures to commemorate this strange astronomical phenomenon.

Unlike ordinary citizens, government agencies with deep-rooted systems were all on high alert at this moment, and an inexplicable panic began to spread from top to bottom.

Especially in the Americas, located in the Western Hemisphere, people could not see the total solar eclipse, but they could still feel that extremely unusual and ever-increasing high energy. They even detected the location of this high energy – Florida, USA!
For a time, apart from the United States, Mexico and Canada in the Americas seemed less panicked, since they weren't the ones who would suffer!

At a base in Washington, D.C., senior executives of the administration gathered urgently. In the pristine white room, a blurry electronic screen appeared on the large blue projection screen. Then, the five global council members representing the United States appeared on the screen.

He had a serious expression, and although he seemed calm, a careful observer could see an underlying anxiety in his eyes.

"The Sacrifice Administration Bureau is a world-class organization built by pooling global resources to combat the endless stream of mysterious events. Over the years, everyone in the Bureau has done a great job, preventing large-scale and heinous incidents more than once, and maintaining world peace!"

"You are all heroes who stand in the shadows. America, no, the whole world should be proud to have heroes like you."

His voice was passionate, steady, and powerful, making it convincing to listeners.

After all, in the United States, where elections are held, public speaking skills are of paramount importance, so qualified officials here are all quite eloquent.

Whether they were faking it or not, all the senior executives, middle managers, and staff who heard him speak straightened their backs slightly, looking proud of themselves.

"But now, a difficult task is being placed in your hands. This task is very important, and failure could lead to the destruction of the world."

Wow!

A group of people stared wide-eyed.

"I believe in you all, and I'm sure you'll be able to complete the mission successfully. I'll be waiting for you to return at the best hotel!"

Done.

A task was sent to their watches.

Everyone looked at each other.

He then calmly clicked to view it, as if he were used to it and not affected by the speech at all.

After a while.

The administration began its mobilization, and local offices dispatched personnel, especially the Florida office, which immediately attracted the attention of the American Council.

at the same time.

Other organizations, capitalists, and others within the United States who had access to high-level information channels also received the news.

For example... Watershed Company, many cults, and many big stars and big bosses.

The Carnot family also received the news, but Karl, who had been warned by Louis long ago, only moved some of his businesses and manpower away to create a false impression. In reality, many people did not move at all.

Large capital and corporations in Florida began relocating on the same day, and within just two hours, Florida seemed to have been abandoned by America.

It has become a vacuum of power and wealth.

And the source of all this...

……

Orlando.

Suburbs.

Louis looked up at the sky, his eyes fixed on the ceiling, his gaze seemingly piercing through steel and rock.

Between one breath and another.

Inside the entire steel room, waves surged even without wind, and a powerful force began to emanate outwards from Louis.

This time, the test was different from the previous ones.

buzzing-

The magic circle beneath Louis's feet began to light up, the candle flames burned brighter, the golden cross shone, the bones of the African elephant king began to decay, and liquid gold and silver began to flow rapidly within the patterns...

The activation of the core magic array triggered a chain reaction.

Like a high-precision instrument, a small gear gradually drives the larger gears to operate the instrument.

Inside the mountain, the nodes glowed faintly.

Several nodes around Orlando lit up.

City nodes near Orlando light up.

The node in the central Florida region is lit up.

The whole of Florida lit up... the whole of the Southern states... the whole of America...

A faint light enveloped North America!
These faint lights are barely visible to the naked eye, but the sensitive wild animals, guided by their instincts, began to run for their lives. Multiple nature reserves began to riot. In modern society, a beast tide has actually occurred!
However, the real changes have not yet begun.

As the nodes lit up completely, the ley lines of North America began to tremble.

Every part of the earth has veins.

Just as people have veins, so too does the earth.

These ley lines, like the meridians in the human body, transport the earth's energy, sustaining the earth's vitality. If any ley line becomes blocked or even dies, it signifies the collapse and disaster of a region.

Now, the ritual has connected with numerous ley lines, large and small, and is beginning to resonate with them, unifying them through the power that Louis had previously stored within them.

However, when the frequencies are synchronized, the earth's veins will always vibrate abnormally. When the earth's veins move, the earth will also begin to tremble. In reality, this manifests as minor earthquakes, landslides, mudslides, and other geological disasters occurring simultaneously in many parts of North America and the United States.

Time passed slowly, and three hours had almost gone by. It was getting dark, and the earth was still shaking intermittently. Strange phenomena were also appearing in the sky.

Strands of white light, each about the thickness of a chopstick, were emitted into the sky, using small nodes as reference points.

The light at that important node was as thick as a fist.

These lights flashed by and disappeared in the blink of an eye, causing a great uproar in human society.

These strange phenomena cannot be concealed. Even if they only last for a moment, due to their high coverage, countless people will see them and even take pictures.

Now, as we approach the new millennium, the modernization of the internet is complete. Developed countries have no problem using the internet for information dissemination, and it is no longer possible to confine information to one place as before.

Ever since.

In just three days.

Outrageous rumors began to circulate, including claims about aliens, experiments with new laser weapons by the US government, omens of God's destruction, and the opening of the gates to hell.

There's no stopping it.

Among them, three theories are most popular. One is about aliens, which is mainly related to the long-term promotion of science fiction movies in the United States.

The second possibility is a laser weapon experiment. Given the United States' bad reputation in this area, various rumors are circulating, making it the most convincing and supported of the three possibilities.

The third type is all sorts of strange theological interpretations. The better ones are said to be divine revelation, while the worse ones are simply the emergence of various new types of apocalyptic cults.

Countless people began searching for the light, but found nothing. In fact...

The node remained in its original location, but when the formation was activated and the earth faced the sky, the node sank into the ground and merged with the earth's veins.

Therefore, the current nodes are no longer something that ordinary people can find.

Time passes slowly.

The online buzz generated by the early days of the internet shows no signs of waning; instead, it has become increasingly popular, with various locations featuring light pillars appearing out of nowhere and being used to generate traffic and for promotion, making the topic of light pillars a viral sensation.

Even governments around the world have had to respond to the topic of the light pillars.

Louis was unaware of all this.

He is now lost in a reverie.

On the day the formation was fully activated, his spirit left his body and flew into space under the influence of the ritual.

A golden soul, invisible to the naked eye, was propelled into the void by the power of the ritual, traversing space, the atmosphere, asteroid belts, and satellites...

When he came to his senses, he was already standing in space.

Everything seemed to happen in the blink of an eye.

Standing in space, looking at the boundless, deep darkness that stretched out in all directions, Louis's heart skipped a beat, and he forgot all about exploring the changes of the Yang God in the vacuum.

An immense fear arose spontaneously.

In fact, humans are phototactic and social beings.

Pure darkness, like pure light, can cause irreversible damage, the most serious of which, besides physical harm, is psychological damage.

Just like selecting an astronaut, one of the most important factors is psychological quality. Even so, many astronauts cannot last long and need to wait for a psychologist to recuperate after returning to Earth.

This is a limitation of humankind.

This is also a limitation of social organisms.

Now, Louis stands in the pure darkness of the universe, utterly bewildered.

There was no reference point for time here, and he didn't even know how much time had passed. His own senses were also gradually becoming blurred in their perception of time.

He was like a fish swimming in the unfathomable depths of the sea.

Inevitably, he began to think.

I've been thinking a lot.

He pondered the operation of spells, the circulation of cultivation techniques, the origin of the primordial energy of heaven and earth, the laws of formations... Gradually, he also began to reflect on his past experiences: Emma, ​​David, Mary, Carrie, Kayako...

Good things and bad things, the philosophy of survival, the meaning of existence...

Too much……

I don’t know how much time has passed.

In the dark and boundless universe, the golden Yang God's body, which seemed like a tiny ray of light, began to show black stains. The blackness was not material, but spiritual, and anyone who looked at it would be spiritually polluted!
Mortals would be driven mad by it, ordinary mysterious creatures would go insane, and even demons would cry out in despair...

And this is Louis's negative emotion.

He has not yet reached the state of primordial spirit in which yin and yang are united. He has not even reached the Pure Yang Realm. Within his Yang spirit and deep within his mind, there are still some stubborn impurities that are difficult to remove.

In this environment, it passively emerged from the depths of one's heart.

This is actually related to Louis's state of mind.

Along the way, even though there were many threats and pressures, he was always able to solve them. The only time he couldn't solve something, the Kitchen God helped him. So, his cultivation experience so far can be considered smooth sailing.

Not enough hardship, not enough mindset, and not worthy of the position!

His inability to break through the Pure Yang Realm is actually related to this. If he were to rely on the power of the Taiyin Star Moon Essence to forcibly erase the bottleneck of the Pure Yang Realm and break through, it might seem like nothing now, but it would be of no benefit to him when he becomes an immortal in the future!
Louis gradually came to understand this.

Perhaps, he needs to psychologically transcend human limitations and even examine his own life...

Just as Louis was thinking this and began to consider what to do, a flame flowed and concealed deep within the golden sun god, seemingly wanting to protect Louis's soul, yet remaining hidden and not unleashed, finally disappearing back into the depths of his soul.

While Louis was adrift alone in the universe.

The ceremony was still proceeding quietly.

The total solar eclipse is over, and next up is the planetary Grand Cross in August, which is also the beginning of stealing divine power and usurping divine authority.

However, those who aspire to success will always encounter tribulations.

Such as cultivators becoming immortals, and the World Honored One becoming a Buddha...

The three tribulations of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

In this strange world, the rules are different, and calamities do not occur, but "humans" always exist, so calamities for humans are ultimately unavoidable.

One calamity after another is already brewing.

……

Candy Mountain Ascension Base.

Carrie patrolled the base again and again, checking on Jason's condition every now and then.

The rest of the group were not idle either.

Emma held the scepter and communicated with the scarecrow, occasionally teasing Khorne's bloodhounds. With the scarecrow's limbs, Emma could sense anything around the base, serving as another layer of security besides surveillance.

Kayako, dressed in white and looking somewhat sinister, sat quietly in a corner with Louis's clothes in hand, neither vying for anything. However, Black and White Sadako would occasionally come over to check on her.

They don't have much work; their main task is to stay quietly and wait for a powerful enemy to appear so they can play their part.

Maria, while chewing on a lollipop, switched to her Alan personality and consulted Higa Kotoko about Japan.

While providing consultation, he also helped Higa Kotoko make various talismans and props.

Everyone is busy with their own things.

After a while.

Carrie went outside, inquired about Tommy's defenses, and then sat on the balcony, gazing at the sky in a daze.

When the ceremony began some time ago, although she did not see the golden light that Louis Yang Shen had transformed into, she still sensed Louis's departure.

The people in the base below now felt to her like a part of Louis, but not a complete one.

She didn't quite understand why.

But there was nothing she could do; at this moment, it seemed all she could do was pray.

"Respected Kitchen God, I hope you can bless Louis to succeed in ascending to godhood."

Gazing at the dark night sky, Carrie clasped her hands together and prayed silently.

"..."

Call ~
A night breeze stirred, carrying a faint, sinister scent.

at the same time.

Inside the base, Emma, ​​who had been looking bored, suddenly froze, and the scepter in her hand began to tremble violently, issuing a warning!
