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

Chapter 182 Absolute Advancement! A Dazzling Ten Minutes!
Before the war.

Su Nan, panting, spoke very quickly:

"Give me 40 seconds! This divine power of China is too overwhelming, I... I need to prepare!"

"it is good!"

Jiang Yu first nodded solemnly, then, without turning her head, said to the candidates behind her:
"Let's all work together and knock that big pillar down!"

"Come on!"

At Jiang Yu's command, the candidates instinctively acted before they even thought.

Almost as soon as they finished speaking, they squeezed out the little divine power they had left and immediately began their slaughter.

In the blink of an eye.

A dense array of divine power surged from all directions, crashing into the wave of evil seeds with immense force!
Although each divine power was deliberately suppressed by the evil god atop the giant pillar, the fire-attribute divine power, in particular, appeared extremely weak.

But when they come together, the pressure they generate is incredibly powerful, and no one dares to underestimate them!

The next second—

A deafening roar, as powerful as a tidal wave!

"Boom boom boom!"

These streams of divine power tore through the rising waves of fire, distorted the air, and emitted a series of ear-piercing explosions. Finally, they fell into the evil species like raindrops, stirring up layers of blood!
"Hoohoho!"

The agonizing howls of the evil creature filled my ears.

Immediately afterwards, the endless waves of evil seeds were ripped open, and the defensive line was forced to advance a full 10 meters!
Their divine attacks were actually effective!

Haha, that feels great!
Seeing this, Jiang Yu and the others were overjoyed, and the flame of hope that had disappeared in their hearts was rekindled.

In an instant, morale soared!
"Let's all give it our all!"

"Brothers and sisters, charge!"

"Hey hey hey! Watch me bite you trash to death, Grandpa!"

The candidates used all their skills to launch a desperate counterattack, charging headlong into the tide.

Even if they exhausted their divine power, they still wished they could use their teeth and nails as weapons to kill their enemies!
As the candidates in front fell, the candidates behind followed one after another.

These candidates, exhausted of their divine power, managed to build a blood-soaked wall of flesh on the front lines.

No one left.

The worst that can happen is being eliminated!

It's nothing more than their mental strength suffering irreparable and severe damage; they're not afraid!
In short, we must help Su Nan last 40 seconds!
High in the sky.

Thick clouds covered the area.

The colossal pillar reaching to the heavens is entwined with the fortune of China, continuously drawn forth from the depths of the earth.

The Southern Realm's fortune carries a sweet and fresh taste, and just now it suddenly gained a refreshing spiciness. Combined with the rich nourishment of the fortune, it can be called the ultimate delicacy among the faith!
Creation, creation, laws...

The virtue of a sage.

It's a good deed!
This land actually possesses divine merit!

There are also many other faiths!

Every bite is so pleasurable it makes your whole body tremble.

The feeling of becoming stronger without any effort is simply wonderful!
Regardless of the type of merit or how long the faith has been passed down...

"Now, it's all mine..."

Fire Cloud God sighed with satisfaction, then wolfed down the Chinese fortune that was at his lips, not wanting to let a single drop go to waste.

You should know that He only consumed a tiny bit of luck, like a fingernail, and the loss of a temple that was destroyed not long ago was completely recovered!

Not only that, His divine realm has also improved, and even His lifespan has increased!

It’s incredible!
The Fire Cloud God was deeply engrossed in it.

Noticing the examinee struggling at his feet, he curled his lip in disdain and sneered:
"Ha, the struggle before death..."

it is ridiculous.

Who do they think they are?

With only filthy mortal bones and without the protection of gods like Him, daring to confront Him head-on is simply courting death!

With a flick of his right hand, God's conviction was transmitted into the minds of every evil being—

"Destroy every disloyal one!"

"die!"

A divine message has been delivered!

The next moment, the evil horde became visibly ferocious and bloodthirsty, engulfing everyone like a flood.

Wherever the wave of evil seeds reached, the wall of flesh instantly shattered.

Vast numbers of test-takers had their consciousness taken away, their bodies turning into countless specks of light and disappearing without a trace.

"Damn it!" The surviving test takers were so angry that they spat out a mouthful of blood three meters high.

How did the evil seed on the other side suddenly become so powerful?
They're acting like they're out of their minds!
Can't stop!
That's fucking unstoppable!

However, even so, no one chose to back down.

"Su Nan, hurry up!" Jiang Yu strained until her eyes were bloodshot, clenching her jaw muscles tightly, her heels pressed against the ground as she kept moving backward.

Damn.

He felt it.

The feeling of divine power being severely suppressed returned! Jiang Yu raised his head, his face deathly pale.

Was it the evil god on the giant pillar who made the move?
So fast…

With the last line of defense about to collapse, death's scythe was already close to the neck of each examinee.

Five seconds, four seconds, three seconds…

Soon!

Su Nan stood suspended in mid-air, his eyes slightly closed, quietly feeling the divine fire burning ever brighter within his body!
His body was enveloped in flames, with magnificent feathers rising from the tail of the flames, their colors as brilliant as molten gold, shimmering and dazzling.

At this moment, this flame, originating from one of the Four Divine Lords of China, has finally returned to its homeland.

Su Nan finally understood what this flame had been clinging to during the Great Wall defense battle.

It is my homeland, it is what I protect.

It is also her duty as a deity.

Swish!
Su Nan suddenly opened his eyes, and it seemed as if a dazzling fire feather fell from his eyes.

next moment--

"Wow!"

The phantom of the Vermilion Bird behind him suddenly flapped its wings, and an extreme high temperature suddenly erupted!

All of a sudden!
A blazing golden flame transcended the constraints of the laws, carrying a vast and mighty purifying power as it crashed down upon the evil seed ahead!
Unstoppable!

Perhaps it was a surprise attack.

Or perhaps it was the aura of the Southern Fire God that descended upon us.

These evil beings, who possessed innate immunity to divine flames, actually exploded and died under the extreme heat, or even spontaneously combusted.

This is a flame completely different from the Samadhi Fire of the Heart.

No evil spirits or impurities can escape the purification power of the Vermilion Bird!
"Ahhh!"

"So weird!"

"What kind of fire is this?!"

Once they touched the raging fire released by Su Nan, the evil creatures could only scream in despair, unable to break free.

The surging tide of evil finally halted its advance on the city and retreated uncontrollably.

One hundred meters!

Three hundred meters!
Five hundred meters!
As soon as the Vermilion Bird Fire appeared, the entire southern defense line was forced back hundreds of meters with tremendous force, covering the sky and the earth like a magnificent receding tide!
The scene was so stunning that the people watching the God War live outside the exam hall were completely dumbfounded and speechless.

[Southern Frontier Battlefield Conquest Progress: 18%]

[Southern Frontier Battlefield Conquest Progress: 25%]

[Southern Frontier Battlefield Conquest Progress: 30%]

【…】

incredible!

In just a few seconds, the capture progress increased from 14% to 30%!

In the examination room.

The surviving candidates were stunned for a few seconds, followed by a series of ecstatic cheers.

"Holy crap, Su Nan is amazing!"

"Haha, that's an awesome move! I ask you, who dares to face him head-on now?!"

"Thank you for the protection of the Chinese gods!"

Everyone knew that without Su Nan's heroic efforts to turn the tide, this southern border defense line would likely have collapsed long ago.

Thinking of this, the test takers felt a wave of fear, and their hands, gripping the magical artifact, were sweating nervously.

fortunately.

Fortunately I made it in time!
Next, we must maintain morale and hold out until reinforcements arrive!
Jiang Yu's eyes blazed with fury as she followed Su Nan into the surging tide of evil seeds.

"kill!"

"Slaughter them all, leaving not a single one alive!"

Everyone was in perfect sync.

Without even exchanging words, they seized the golden 10 minutes provided by Su Nan and began their counterattack!
The battle situation took an astonishing turn in an instant.

how so? !

Fire Cloud God Lord stared at Su Nan, who was charging at the forefront, with a look of surprise and uncertainty in his eyes and a dark expression, his fingers gently rubbing together.

This person is clearly His chosen one, so why are the flames He releases beyond His control?!

Something is wrong!
Which god's fire did he awaken?!

Why has He never seen it before!
　Thank you for reading!

　　This book is nearing its end. I will try my best to include all the gods that everyone mentioned in the upcoming plot. There are just too many gods in China to list them all! I also personally want to write about more goddesses.

　　And Nezha, I really haven't forgotten him! There's so much more to come that you'll get tired of seeing him!
　　The planned spin-offs after the series concludes include Journey to the West (the version featuring the three traitors), The Peach Banquet, Havoc in Heaven, and more, as well as other stories that readers may have requested.

　　The above side stories will appear as instances, with a touch of imagination, and will feature corresponding deities, such as the Old Man of the Moon, the Seven Fairies, Venus, and the Jade Emperor…

　　The rest are stories about the daily lives of the gods, focusing on their friendships. For example, Nezha visits his second brother's home in Guanjiangkou after get off work, and there are also some side stories featuring the gods as the most beloved members of the Heavenly Court.

　　Oh, and there's also a romance side story with Nezha, which will be very sweet. There might also be an "if" storyline for the Investiture of the Gods, where Nezha falls in love with the vanguard officer of Xiqi when he's at his most carefree and spirited (though I might not actually write that).
　　Romance anime will be listed in the title as a spoiler; feel free to skip if you mind. Just a heads-up, I'll be writing about Taiyi Zhenren.
　　After all, Nezha in the Investiture of the Gods was the precious treasure of the Immortal Taiyi.
