The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

"You should have realized it yourself, your strength is far greater than that of ordinary top experts. Martial arts masters and S-class ability users are as weak as children in front of you. Even if you don't pursue strength, power will come to you on its own."

"But have you ever thought about why this is? Even if there are differences between ordinary geniuses, the difference wouldn't be this great... But the difference between you and other strong people is so great, like heaven and earth. What is the reason for all this?"

Kiyohime continued to stare intently at Gu Ran: "It is precisely because I know these reasons that I know I can never be your match."

Gu Ran's curiosity was piqued by Qing Ji's words.

Because his situation does indeed match Kiyohime's description to some extent, it seems that she knows him very well.

"You know my situation very well? You know these reasons? Isn't the reason I'm so strong because I'm a genius, one in a billion?"

Gu Ran didn't really consider himself a genius among billions; he said that just to pique the other party's interest in speaking (refuting) him.

Kiyohime didn't seem to intend to hide anything. She looked at Gu Ran with a cold and manic laugh: "Haven't you realized that your power is not of mortal descent? The fact that you were able to find me so quickly means you also possess telekinesis. But your telekinesis is far superior to that of the president of Lanxin University, isn't it?"

"The power of telekinesis is originally a function of the gods, and your power is especially strong!"

"Because you have stolen God's authority!"

Gu Ran didn't show any shock after hearing Qing Ji's words, but rather some surprise: "A god? So what you received wasn't a treasure, but a form of worship? I'm very curious, does your god actually exist? Has he ever responded to you?"

Although Gu Ran was indeed somewhat surprised, he did not show it in front of Qing Ji. Instead, he pretended not to care and continued to probe to see if he could find out anything else.

God... Religious worship is not popular in this world, so there is no "creator god".

Although the concept of "god" exists, there are no representative "gods" or stories related to "gods".

As far as Gu Ran knew, there was no tradition of worshipping "gods" in Far East City before.

This indicates that the "god" of Far East City is a recent phenomenon and should now have a profound influence on Far East City.

So is this "god" "alive" or "dead"?

"Hahaha, I know you're trying to trick me into telling you, but I'll still tell you what I want to tell you." Kiyohime exposed Gu Ran's purpose, but her expression didn't seem to care.

"Because I know you will offend God, and God will take back His authority and punish you thieves!"

Gu Ran didn't seem to care about being "punished by the gods," and listened attentively as Qing Ji continued speaking.

"An omniscient and omnipotent God is the supreme ruler of this world, wielding the most powerful force in this world—time!"

Kiyohime's face was filled with fervor, and even her hatred for Gu Ran seemed to have lessened.

"Of course, even a power as strong as time is only one of God's powers! God is omniscient and omnipotent. He has only temporarily lost a part of his power. As long as His power is restored, God will become omniscient and omnipotent once again."

“Every one of God’s chosen ones will receive His protection, His blessings, a share of His authority, and greater power! And most importantly, becoming one of God’s chosen ones will grant eternal life!”

eternal life?

Gu Ran seemed to understand somewhat.

Hara Yorikiyo must have received a "blessing" from "God," which is why he possessed the power to slow down time.

Hara Yorikiyo's ability enhanced his persuasiveness towards the several elderly members of the Privy Council. Perhaps Hara Yorikiyo did not confront the members directly, but even just revealing an opportunity to extend their lifespan would be extremely attractive to them.

He was able to "bless" people and pass down "divine pronouncements" to spread his teachings, making him seem like a "living" "god".

Gu Ran thought to herself.

Kiyohime looked at Gu Ran with disdain: "A thief like you is only lucky for a moment. When the gods see you, you will have no chance to escape and will surely receive the cruelest divine punishment!"

When Gu Ran tried to ask further questions, he noticed that blood was suddenly flowing from the corner of Kiyohime's mouth.

"Hahaha, my lover... Kiyohime has come to keep you company..."

Kiyohime's voice grew weaker and weaker, her eyes revealing endless longing.

When the last glimmer of light disappeared from her eyes, Kiyohime's life completely vanished.

Gu Ran was certain that she was indeed dead.

Because she was a martial arts master before, but her dantian had been destroyed by herself, and she was not a superhuman, so there was no superhuman crystal core to provide her with the energy to sustain her life.

However, out of habit, Gu Ran still used his telekinetic power to pierce her heart, then dug a hole in the ground and buried her in it.

"god......"

Gu Ran suddenly remembered the geographical location of Far East City.

It is at sea.

187. The City of the New Testament has surrendered to one man! The governor's sincerity! 4k

Gu Ran made the connection between Far East City and the ocean because he thought of the ocean eye and the "deep water" that caused the great flood in prehistoric times.

The current state of Far East City... is very much like the worship of an evil god.

Just as Kiyohime herself said, what she said were things she originally wanted to tell him, and things she didn't want to tell him, she would never mention.

She had long intended to end her life, so she wasn't afraid of death at all, and the last things she said to him were definitely malicious.

One thing Kiyohime didn't mention was the reason she persuaded old Mellon to push for the persecution of the people of Azure Dragon City and their ethnic group.

Was it really just to retaliate against Canglong City and vent his anger?

Did Old Mellon really cooperate with her so much that he completely turned against Canglong City for her personal grudge?

Gu Ran walked slowly through the streets of New Testament City, with countless eyes watching him from the shadows.

However, Gu Ran didn't care at all. He found the Mellon family, who hadn't had time to move far away yet, and completely destroyed this powerful family that had been passed down for hundreds of years in New Testament City amidst the unwilling roars of the Mellon family members.

Just as the Mellon family had destroyed other families, everything was done so easily and effortlessly.

Then, relying on his telekinetic abilities, Gu Ran identified the other members of the July Flower Hunters Association one by one and publicly killed all the councilors who agreed to push for the persecution of the people of Canglong City.

It wasn't that the passionate people of New Testament City wanted to stop Gu Ran, or even kill him, because most of the people in New Testament City were part-time bounty hunters, and they were full of desire for fame and fortune.

However, those New Testament City people who were blinded by passion and whose minds were clouded were all instantly killed by Gu Ran in one move.

Gu Ran didn't even need to use his fists; he solved most of the problems by relying on weapons materialized from his mental energy.

Gradually, all the people of New Testament City calmed down, and in the end, all they had left when facing Gu Ran was the fear of being crushed by his strength!

This man from Azure Dragon City actually suppressed New Testament City all by himself!

He defeated all the New Testament City people who attacked him, and in front of them, he killed the Julyflower Hunters' Council members one by one!

The councilors of the Julyflower Hunters Association are not ordinary strongmen. In addition to their great strength, they also belong to different factions, and behind them all stands the financial groups of New Testament City!

So when Gu Ran first tried to kill these councilors, the forces behind them did not stand idly by and attempted to send powerful members of their conglomerates to join forces to kill Gu Ran.

After the failure, some conglomerates may have felt that it was not worthwhile to compete with Gu Ran, so they decided to negotiate with Gu Ran.

As long as Gu Ran gives up pursuing the conglomerate, they can pretend they didn't see what happened before, and the Mellon family and those congressmen will be dead if they die.

New Covenant City could also sign a treaty of defeat, releasing all Azure Dragon City residents and descendants, and compensating these victims and their families.

They would agree to pay Canglong City a huge "war reparations".

This is already a huge concession for the major conglomerates in New Testament City; they've cut their losses to stop the bleeding.

But Gu Ran just smiled mockingly and, without the slightest hesitation, punched one of the councilors in front of him to death.

“You have no right to negotiate with me. You only have two choices: either agree to what I say unconditionally and then surrender, or I will fight you until you agree to what I say unconditionally and then surrender.”

Gu Ran's words shattered the illusions of those large conglomerates in New Testament City.

After that, no one from the conglomerate came to persuade Gu Ran anymore. As for those councilors, it seemed that they had also been completely abandoned by the conglomerate, and no one cared about them anymore.

Throughout the Julyflower Hunters Association, all members voted in favor, except for two families that were not on good terms with the Mellon family, which abstained.

Therefore, Gu Ran left these two families until the very end.

Gu Ran did not intend to completely wipe out all the conglomerates and forces. If he did, who would carry out the conditions he mentioned?

The only entities to be investigated are those that participated in the persecution of the people of Canglong City. However, according to Gu Ran's investigation, there are also innocent entities involved.

Some didn't have the chance, and some weren't qualified.

The Johnson family, the governor of New Testament City, and their conglomerate were certainly qualified, but perhaps they didn't have time, or perhaps they were simply going against the Mellon family, so this time their hands were not stained with the blood of the people of Azure Dragon City.

Regardless of their subjective reasons, the objective fact is that they remain innocent in this incident, and that's enough.

This is the basis for our cooperation.

Gu Ran had actually noticed the Johnson family members who had been following and observing him for a long time, but he did not come forward to communicate with them or do anything to them. He simply let them observe and watch quietly.

Gu Ran had a rough idea of ​​what the Johnson family was thinking.

They were both pleased with the destruction of the Mellon family and its affiliated families, and worried that it would endanger them.

They might even worry about the possibility that the New Testament City's strength will decline significantly when they become its rulers.

I want to sign a peace treaty with him, but I'm worried that he won't agree, and I'm also worried that if I agree to his conditions, I'll be branded as a traitor.

The current situation is indeed complex and delicate.

Gu Ran chose the Johnson family as the "new traitor," but since the Johnson family had doubts, Gu Ran would help them dispel those doubts.

Aren't you worried about being branded as a traitor?

Then I will become an insurmountable threat to the New Testament City, and the New Testament City will regard those who can mediate with me as heroes.

If I demonstrate enough strength, then the city of New Testament will know that even just speaking to me is no easy feat.

In fact, that's exactly what Gu Ran did, and it seems to have worked quite well.
