Gods of the Nation: You worship the God of Longevity, I worship the King of Hell!

Chapter 61 The Dragon's Might is Overwhelming! The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas Descend!
Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat.

He suddenly looked up at the audience below the stage, and sure enough, as the Dragon King of the Four Seas roared and shook the universe, the rolling dragon might, like a real mountain, crashed down on the entire Great Dragon Pool!

In an instant, the faces of 100,000 people turned deathly pale.

"It's...it's the Dragon King of the East Sea!"

In the crowd, someone's jaw clenched and they screamed in shock.

"No! There were four dragon roars! Not just from the East Sea... all four Dragon Kings of the Seas have come!"

"When did they arrive? How could they have come without any warning!"

"Yes! There was a sign! The thunder last night! That was a sign!"

"It's over...it's completely over! I knew the rainmaking wouldn't go so smoothly!"

Almost instantly, a wave of despair surged up and engulfed everyone's minds.

Under the overwhelming imperial might, the people were frozen in place, unable to move even their fingertips, their legs feeling like lead, nailed to the ground. Some of the more timid ones were completely unaware that their trousers were soaked.

Master Lingshui was taken aback at first, but after discerning the four distinct dragon roars, his pupils constricted, and he burst into maniacal laughter:
"Hahaha! I knew it must have been the Dragon King manifesting last night! But I never expected it to be the Dragon King from all corners of the world! Kid, you're dead now! Heaven is helping me! Heaven is helping me!"

……

Meanwhile, deep within the hidden cave of Dalongtan.

The Dragon King and the Earth God, who were ordered to hide here, are closely watching this earth-shattering ritual through the Mystic Light Technique.

When they saw the colorful light of merit in the altar, both the Dragon King of the Well and the Earth God were so shocked that they were speechless for a long time.

Although they knew Lu Chen was extraordinary, this heaven-defying supernatural power of refining merit with incense still completely overturned their understanding.

Only now did the Well Dragon King understand why Lu Chen had been so certain earlier—

It turns out he already possessed such extraordinary abilities!

The old Dragon King was overjoyed. He only needed the power of 100,000 wishes to gather so that he could return to his position and bring rain, becoming a golden dragon protecting the God of Wealth. From then on, he could break free from the shackles of the four seas and soar through the nine heavens!

however.

At this critical moment, four dragon roars that shook the universe suddenly resounded from the sky!
The joy on the Dragon King's face froze instantly, and his dragon body began to tremble violently uncontrollably.

The local earth god's smile froze, his face turning ashen.

"The Four Dragon Kings!"

They finally... came!
……

At this moment, within the Xuan Guang Technique, on the high platform, a cold glint flashed in Lu Chen's eyes.

He never expected that even with the decree issued by the Water Deity, the Four Seas Dragon Kings would still dare to act so recklessly and openly disrupt the rain-praying ceremony!
Just one step away!
Just one step left!
By holding a ritual, one can gather the power of 100,000 wishes and bring the Dragon King of the Well back to his position!
If we fail at this crucial moment, all our plans will be in vain.

Lu Chen knew all too well that "the first peak, the second decline, and the third exhaustion."

If we miss this opportune moment today, how can we possibly replicate it in the future?

The variables are simply unimaginable.

It might even trigger a backlash from the Heavenly Dao, plunging the entire Longhu County into utter ruin!
"Wait!" Lu Chen suddenly focused his gaze on the sky.

Within those thick clouds, only the roar of a dragon reverberated and its might permeated the air, yet the true dragon never appeared.

A thought flashed through his mind like lightning: "Could it be... that they are ultimately afraid of the divine power of the Water Deity Star Lord and dare not personally intervene, but only dare to use the dragon's might to bluff and force us to submit?"

Upon realizing this, Lu Chen's pupils contracted sharply, and the panic in his eyes vanished: "That must be it! These Four Dragon Kings are bluffing!"

……

High above the nine heavens, inside the Xuan Dou Palace.

As the Water Deity stared at the tricks of the Four Seas Dragon Kings reflected in the Mystic Mirror, the glass cup in his hand shattered into pieces.

"They're getting more and more arrogant!"

He snorted heavily and turned to Jun Caishen beside him: "Brother Jun Caishen, rest assured, I will give you an explanation for this matter. But now..." He sighed softly: "Now that changes have occurred, if we forcibly intervene now, I'm afraid we will be entangled in boundless karma, and it will be a loss that does not outweigh the gain."

Which deity in the Three Realms doesn't turn pale at the mention of "cause and effect"?
If we had intervened earlier, we could have avoided some of the consequences. But now that the rain-making campaign has taken hold and the hearts of 100,000 people are united, intervening now would be extremely risky and could easily backfire.

Water Deity Star Lord would naturally not take such a risky move. He only planned to settle accounts with the Four Sea Dragon Kings afterward, thus preserving the dignity of the God of Wealth without diminishing his own merits.

Even though the God of Wealth was usually calm, his expression was noticeably gloomy at this moment.

Although He is the righteous god of the Ministry of Finance and his divine office is highly respected, He has no right to interfere in the affairs of the Ministry of Water. He cannot overstep his authority in front of the Water Deity.

What's even more frustrating is that, as a relatively unknown deity, he receives few worshippers, and in terms of magical power alone, he may not be as strong as the Four Seas Dragon Kings, who now have a wide following.

This is also the tragedy of unpopular deities.

He sighed softly, suppressing his anxiety, and returned his gaze to the Xuan Guang Mirror, his tone resolute as he said:

"Fine, I believe this little storm won't be a problem for my sworn brother."

"That would be best!" Water Deity stroked his beard and chuckled.

Previously, he was impatient, while Jun Caishen was calm; now, the tables have turned.

Water Deity continued to gaze at the Mystic Mirror, his divine eyes slightly narrowed, showing even greater anticipation for what would happen next...

……

Inside the Great Dragon Pool, the majestic power of the dragon resounds.

Finally, someone couldn't hold on any longer.

Someone shouted "Run!" and the crowd scattered and fled in panic, like a flood bursting its banks.

Wang Zhongmin suddenly woke up, rushed to the microphone, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Come back! All of you come back! Don't run away!"

The fleeing crowd ignored the warnings and continued to push and shove their way out, creating a chaotic scene.

A cold glint flashed in Lu Chen's eyes, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Sun Yourong!"

Sun Yourong was already shaken to her core by the dragon's roar, and stood there trembling.

Hearing the sound, he snapped back to reality.

Lu Chen pointed to a dry boulder not far from the stage.

"Help me split that rock! The bigger the commotion, the better, to intimidate them!"

Sun Yourong looked in the direction he was pointing. The boulder was round and solid, more than a person's height and two or three arm spans wide.

"Alright!" She nodded immediately, raised her jade hand, and with a flash of light, a Xuanhua battle axe taller than herself appeared in her hand.

Sun Yourong leaped into the air, tracing a sharp arc, and shouted:
"open!"

The Xuanhua axe was swung into a full moon shape, with the force to split mountains and shatter peaks, and crashed down on the boulder!
"boom!!"

The deafening roar was like thunder from the heavens, momentarily overpowering the dragon's cry in the sky, and echoing throughout the entire Great Dragon Pool.

Stone fragments flew everywhere, and dust billowed into the sky.

The fleeing crowd froze at the loud noise, instinctively stopping in their tracks and turning around.

Smoke and dust billowed around the high platform, as if the sky had collapsed and the earth had split open. The sound waves made their ears ring, and even their thoughts of escaping faded.

It's now!

Seizing this fleeting moment, Lu Chen rushed to the microphone and shouted loudly:
"Why are you running?! We've only heard the voices of the Four Dragon Kings, but we've never seen them. They're clearly just bluffing! Why are you running?!"

This long roar caused countless people in the Great Dragon Pool to freeze in place for a moment.

Lu Chen didn't waste any time, raising his voice again:
"Don't panic! They are the guardian deities of the water realm, the righteous gods of the three realms, and are worshipped by all people. Would they dare to openly slaughter humans?"

Aren't you afraid of divine retribution?!
