By associating with Nezha, I became the darling of the Chinese gods.

Chapter 175 Jiuli - Chi You, the Lord of War

As the God of Clear Water who governs the divine power of water, He is exceptionally sensitive to the surrounding temperature and humidity, and soon noticed something was amiss.

Although the divine power released by the woman in front of him was very powerful, it seemed to be strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and had long lost the ancient aura that had burned everything at the beginning!

It's more like the savagery and death throes that come from igniting oneself.

Moreover, neither fire nor drought has any effect on them now.

"Don't be fooled by her! This woman's offensive is weakening!"

Upon noticing this, Lord Qingmiao exclaimed in delight, and his attacks became even more ferocious.

"Great! This is a perfect opportunity to win!"

Even the God of Spring could not contain his excitement, and hurriedly gave orders to Wei Ning and the others beside him:
"Quick! All candidates from Camp 1, charge! As long as we kill that Drought God, the Western Battlefield will be ours!"

"Don't worry, no matter what tricks that alien god tries, I will counter them all! Her divine power is nothing to worry about!"

"After this battle, I will grant you eternal life and honor!"

However, no one wanted to drink the chicken soup that Spring God forced upon them.

All the candidates stood straight in place, their eyes filled with complicated emotions as they stared at the shriveled, demon-like Nüba.

Despite her terrifying appearance, they felt no fear, but instead felt an overwhelming sense of sorrow and desolation.

It was as if she had been alone, wandering aimlessly like this for tens of thousands of years.

They couldn't bring themselves to press their advantage.

Moreover, it was to help those two evil gods who released evil seeds at will.

Wei Ningjun's face was tense, and as he looked at the two gods standing high in the sky, the faith in his eyes slowly disappeared.

Ha! What face do these gods, who have stolen the divine fortune of others and allowed evil species to persecute the interstellar space for thousands of years, have to take action against them?!

Everything was turned upside down.

At that moment, he no longer felt any urge to prostrate himself in worship.

All I want is to kill gods!

Thinking of this, Wei Ning pointed the tip of his sword at the Spring God.

The other candidates in Camp 1 exchanged glances and silently followed behind Wei Ning.

They are clear.

Their enemy has never been the examinees themselves, but the evil race.

Even if it's a match they're destined to lose, their choices won't change!

The smile on Spring God's face froze.

Lord Qingmiao's face was grim, his gaze as fierce as a sharp knife, and he coldly questioned:

"What do you want? To desert? Don't forget you chose faction number one!"

Wei Ning nodded and grinned mischievously, "Well, just consider this my bad luck before, but now that I've turned over a new leaf, I'm ready to regret it!"

Ha, who would have thought that his first time speaking to a deity would be to reject the deity!
This life has been worthwhile!

Spring Goddess pulled back her restless companion, looked at the other examinees behind Wei Ning, and coldly asked:
"Are you going to become traitors too?"

The test takers couldn't help but burst into curses:

"You traitorous bullshit! I've been sworn enemies of the evil race since birth!"

"Whoever kills the evil race is my friend; conversely, whoever stands with the evil race will forever be my enemy!"

"Exactly! We do scheme against each other sometimes, stealing each other's exam points at the drop of a hat, but we know which is worse: failing a course or being wiped out!"

After saying that, the candidates from Camp 1 stood resolutely behind Wen Miao and the others, and the two groups began to chatter amongst themselves:
"Brothers, stop fighting! I'll take you to the respawn point to restore your divine power later!"

"What? You guys have a respawn point? That's cheating!"

"Of course! But now we're sharing it with you!"

In just a few seconds, the huge examination hall in the western region was completely filled with this group of candidates!
“Foolish…” Spring God narrowed his eyes, his expression completely vanishing.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Just then, a series of muffled, loud noises suddenly came from all directions in the distance.

The entire western battlefield seemed to have been struck by an invisible hammer, and it jumped violently upwards.

The loud noise was getting closer. Someone was approaching!
It's unimaginable how powerful the person who could cause such a huge commotion must be!
Many candidates who lost their footing didn't even have time to react before they stumbled and fell to the ground.

The test-takers, clutching their shattered buttocks, veins bulging on their foreheads, raised their middle fingers, spitting in utter despair:
"Oh my god! What's going on?!"

"Could it be another trick played by those damned evil gods?"

"Damn it, is this ever going to end?!"

As if thinking of something, Zhou Qiyu gazed solemnly at the distant northern border.

Could it be...

Did the candidates in the other battlefields completely fail?

Could those people rushing towards us in the distance be reinforcements from Faction 1?!

Zhou Qiyu glanced at the StarNet system panel, his face pale.

[Faction #2 has achieved 39% progress in capturing the Northern Sub-Battlefield]

[Faction #2 has achieved 20% progress in capturing the Southern Frontier sub-battlefield]

Although their forces are weak, they have not yet suffered defeats on other battlefields.

Seeing this, Zhou Qiyu breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Given the current situation, they cannot afford any further setbacks.

the other side.

Zhou Qiyu was unaware that the sounds of the battle had also reached the two separate battlefields in the south and north.

"Zheng——"

“Clang, clang, clang!”

Countless divine weapons flew up from all corners of the battlefield!
Knife, sword, halberd, spear, hammer...

Even the broken arrows on the ground broke free from their masters' restraints and floated in the air, transforming into a metallic frenzy!
It's like submission, like worship!
Jiang Yu, who was far away at the examination site in the southern border, was dumbfounded: "What the heck? What happened? How did my little hammer suddenly fly up!"

The Far North.

But the arrow that Xue had only fired halfway missed its target, swaying wildly in the air like an epileptic seizure, making a slight buzzing sound.

Seeing this, Danxue couldn't help but twitch her lips. "Wow, this is another trick pulled by some sub-battlefield! Even the Northern Territory has been affected!"

Even the enemy's weapons were not spared.

They leaped desperately, reaching out to grab the weapons in mid-air, but they couldn't grasp them no matter what they did, and one by one they broke down, saying:
"Damn it, why is my artifact suddenly acting up?"

"Come back quickly! I'm really into the fight! I can't be left empty-handed!"

at the same time.

Dongping, Shanyang, Yanggu, Zhuolu, Cheng'an, Huailai, Yuncheng, Taiqian...

After being silent for so long, finally…

The eight tombs hidden in the land of China began to tremble and shudder slightly!
Immediately afterwards, the shattered divine figures were condensed by an invisible force of faith and finally merged into one!
The Jiuli totem, with its bull's head, dragon's wings, and snake's tail, appeared in the clouds!
Five illusory weapons—a halberd, a spear, a trident, a chieftain's spear, and a barbarian's spear—swirled around the red light.

In an instant, a thick, oppressive fog filled the air, thick with the smells of rust and blood, making it hard to breathe.

The Nüba twitched her nose, as if sensing something, and gently turned her head to look at the sky.

The figure had a human body and bull hooves, with a pair of ferocious bull horns on its forehead. It was tall and strong, and its body was surrounded by a fierce aura from the ancient times!
Without moving a single person, just one step, yet the sheer force of it could crush mountains and rivers!

He is not a loser; he is the embodiment of war!

A thousand soldiers roared in unison, and the demon god descended!
That is…

Upon suddenly seeing an old acquaintance, Nüba's eyes widened instantly.

At that moment, even the wind stopped.

Whether inside or outside the examination hall, everyone's attention was drawn to him.

"My name is... Lord of War!"

Before I saw the person, I heard his voice first.

The sound waves spread out in layers, shaking the entire land and rivers!

　After the Battle of Zhuolu, Chi You was defeated and killed by the Yellow Emperor, his body dismembered into eight pieces and buried separately. The description of Chi You's eight burial sites in this chapter draws upon the *Huanglan Zhongmu Ji*, while other descriptions primarily reference the *Classic of Mountains and Seas* and the *Shuyi Ji*, though some elements are original creations.
