I am the Executioner Dragon, but a cute mod.

Upon hearing this, the clone's attention was drawn to it. He looked at the person, not annoyed, but simply said in that voice that was neither male nor female:

"Tengen? Hmph... He's nothing but a guy who goes against the laws of nature. I will personally wipe him out, and I will also purge all the monsters and humans who disrupt the balance."

Until the world returns to its original state.

"What did you say?!"

Upon hearing the clone utter such treasonous words as "annihilate Tianyuan," the high-ranking members of the Panxing Sect were so enraged that their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. They gritted their teeth and roared:

"You've gone completely mad! How dare you blaspheme Lord Tianyuan like this! You... you're asking for death!"

As he spoke, the high-ranking member of the Star Cult looked at the guards surrounding the clones and said:

"Quickly! Destroy this defective product! We can't let this thing continue to exist in this world! It's a colossal blasphemy!"

After the Panxing Cult leaders finished speaking, everyone expected to see the guards rush forward and kill this arrogant clone. However, the reality was quite the opposite.

The guards, seeing the clone's domineering demeanor and the sun-shaped rune on its chest representing terrifying power, knew very well that this was no match for them and therefore dared not approach.

"Rebellion! Rebellion!"

The high-ranking members of the Star Cult were furious. To them, this place was a scene of a massive rebellion. They glared at the clones that they had to look up to meet their gazes, their blood boiling, and they unleashed a powerful punch at the clones' vital points.

Just as the attack was about to hit the clone, the clone's figure vanished instantly. When it reappeared, it was behind a high-ranking member of the Panxing Cult, pressing its finger against his head.

Without a word, the strange power formed by the fusion of Yamata no Orochi and the five demons shattered the heads of the Panxing Sect's high-ranking members in the next second.

boom.

Blood and bits of flesh splattered everywhere, landing on the faces of the guards and on the clothes of the scholars and other high-ranking officials, but the clones closest to them remained untouched by blood.

The headless corpse fell to the ground with a "thud," and the blood quickly stained the ground red. The horrific scene turned everyone present pale, because at that moment, they felt the terrifying curse power of the clone that covered the entire underground base.

Such a total amount of magical power is simply inhuman.

Some of them were trembling, some collapsed to the ground, and some even knelt down, saying things like, "Don't kill me, I'll do anything."

Faced with this chaotic and unsettling scene, the clone remained expressionless. He ignored the panic of the people and instead unilaterally delivered his divine pronouncement:

"Ha... I am the balance. A thousand years ago, Ryoumen Sukuna dared to overturn this principle. Now, I have suppressed the power of humans and demons to a state of balance with all living beings."

"My existence alone is insufficient to maintain balance; from this day forward, the only god you should worship is me."

Upon hearing this, no one present dared to utter a word of dissent, after all, the corpse of the high-ranking member of the Panxing Sect who had been shot in the head was still warm.

However, to completely control the entire Panxing Sect, the agreement of those present was far from sufficient. To prevent the clones from taking their anger out of ignorance, one of the high-ranking members knelt forward, his expression respectful and his lips trembling:

"My lord, we few alone cannot make decisions for the entire Panxing Sect. To take control of the entire Panxing Sect, we must gain the consent of all the higher-ups..."

Upon hearing this, the clone cast a glance at the high-ranking official, lingering on him for a long time until the official was nearly terrified, before finally speaking:

"Is that so? You may take me with you, and I will personally settle this matter."

These words undoubtedly brought a huge sigh of relief to the Panxing Cult's higher-ups. Their tense nerves finally had a chance to catch their breath. He cautiously looked at the clone and asked:

"Yes, sir, but... I don't know how to address you..."

The clone remained silent for a moment, his thoughts drifting back a thousand years. He felt no regret, only a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing both reflection and reflection).

"Abandon Orochi, call me [Great Serpent]..."

And so, the clone named Serpent, under the leadership of the Panxing Cult, returned to the surface.

In order to survive, the leaders of the Panxing Cult went to great lengths to gather core cadres, financial backers, and people with high credibility in a council hall that could accommodate hundreds of people.

Once everyone had arrived, the council hall was nearly full, and the atmosphere was incredibly noisy. They were all discussing why the high-ranking members of the Panxing Sect had been summoned here, and they speculated that such a large-scale event must be related to something concerning the survival of the Panxing Sect.

After the high-ranking member of the Star Cult took the stage, he slammed his hand on the table. The loud "thud" echoed throughout the hall through the loudspeaker, quickly silencing the crowd.

Seeing everyone looking at him, the high-ranking member of the Panxing Sect took a deep breath and uttered words that shook the entire audience:

"I won't say anything unnecessary. I've called everyone here today to announce something important... From now on, the Panxing Sect will be under the control of the Great Serpent. Who agrees? Who disagrees?"

After these words were spoken, there was a brief silence for a few seconds. Once everyone realized what the Chu Panxing Sect leaders had said, a cheer erupted.

"What? Take over the Panxing Cult? Are you kidding me! The Panxing Cult has always made decisions collectively. Why should one person concentrate all power? This will lead the Panxing Cult to its demise!"

"Who is the Great Serpent? I've never heard of him. In terms of seniority, I should be the one to inherit the Panxing Sect."

"Letting a complete stranger whose name I've never even heard of take over the Panxing Cult, are you crazy or am I? You couldn't make that decision without a ten-year stroke..."

There were various opinions at the scene, with the majority being skeptical and the remainder being clearly opposed. As for those in favor, who would agree with a stranger when their own interests might be at risk?

Seeing that things were not going well, the high-ranking members of the Panxing Sect sighed, quickly stepped down from the stage, went through the back door, and cautiously spoke to the giant serpent who was reading "The Tale of the Heike":

"My lord, things aren't going well. Most people seem unwilling for you to take over the Panxing Sect. What do you think we should do...?"

Upon hearing this, the giant serpent gently closed the book, placed it on the table beside it, and then walked towards the back door, leaving behind only the words:

"I will go and tell them."

At this, the Panxing Sect leader couldn't help but recall the bloody scene in the underground experimental base. He shuddered and felt pity for the people in the hall...

When the giant serpent arrived on the stage, the people who had been discussing among themselves were immediately drawn to its strange appearance:

His body was strong yet not bulky, covered in black runes. Beneath his snow-white, tousled hair were a pair of blood-red eyes, devoid of any emotion. Upon arriving on the stage, disregarding everyone's expectations, he announced directly:

"From this day forward, I am the sole god of the Panxing Sect."

After these incredibly arrogant words were uttered, everyone was temporarily intimidated by the serpent's transcendent aura. Upon regaining their senses, someone immediately stood up to object:

"You think you're so special just because you say so? The only god? You're more like a lunatic!"

"Yes, yes, only Lord Tengen deserves to be called a god. What are you?"

"Get down..."

Hearing this, the giant snake was not angry. He scanned the entire scene and saw clearly those who opposed him or even insulted him.

He said nothing, as that would be a waste of breath; with a slight raise of his hand, beams of purplish-black light instantly pierced through all the opponents.

Amidst bloodshed and death, a deathly silence fell over the entire arena. Later, regarding the Orochi's takeover of the Panxing Cult, the survivors unanimously voted in favor…
