Slay the Gods: Return of the Ancient Chinese Gods, Start with the Fuxi Plate

"The power of creation..."

But when he slowly opened his palm, his palm was empty.

Su Yan stared blankly at the empty palm of his hand, his lips trembling slightly, and an indescribable feeling of fatigue surged into his heart like a tide.

He slumped down on the ground, his head slowly drooping.

...I seem to have failed?

Yang Jin, with his godhood as a bet, resolutely accompanied him on this road of no return; the members of Team 136 used their lives as bargaining chips to fight alongside him; and the Master, based solely on his one-sided words, led countless Daxia troops to accompany him on the journey without hesitation.

However, it ultimately failed.

Since coming to this world, Su Yan has been smooth sailing and has hardly encountered any major setbacks.

This gave him an illusion that the road ahead would be so smooth, and even if there were twists and turns, they could be easily resolved with a little effort.

But at this moment, reality was like a heavy hammer, hitting him on the head mercilessly.

“How should I face everyone…”

Su Yan gradually fell into a trance, his eyes dull.

.............

"Ding ding ding——!"

Suddenly, a clear ringing sounded behind him, waking Su Yan, who was immersed in his thoughts. He turned his head in confusion, looking for the source of the ringing sound.

Not far away was the campus of Cangnan No. 2 Middle School, and the bell sounded from there.

At this time in the afternoon, the school gate was bustling with people. Many people, some with joy, some with worry, some with sadness, walked into the campus in groups of three or two.

Su Yan looked around the crowd and saw the female teacher who used to talk in class, the principal with a Mediterranean hairstyle and always a serious face, and Jiang Qian who was holding Hei Ge's hand.

And those classmates whose faces I can hardly remember.

"Is that Su Yan?" The two classmates were talking in low voices, and one of them said:

"I bought an extra portion of food for today. You can secretly put it on his table later, but don't say it was from me."

"Why don't you go?" asked another classmate.

"I'm a girl, so I'm a little embarrassed." The conversation inadvertently floated into Su Yan's ears. He looked at them in confusion, but had no impression of these two classmates.

At this moment, his attention was drawn to the other side.

The female teacher was following the principal with a flattering look on her face. She said, "Principal, I want to apply for a poverty-stricken student subsidy for Su Yan in our class, but he has no guardian. Could you help me think of a solution?"

"Su Yan? The child sent by Sunshine Courtyard? I remember him... Let me put it this way. I will send the director to the street office to issue a certificate for him this afternoon. Special matters require special handling." There was a hint of concern in the principal's words.

"Thank you, Principal!" said the female teacher gratefully.

"Don't mistreat the child. Help him as much as you can, but don't hurt his self-esteem," the principal advised.

As the principal and the teacher gradually walked away, Su Yan's heart was filled with ripples and his mind was in chaos.

At this time, he heard Jiang Qian's voice again: "Mom, there's a student in trouble in our class. He happens to be my new deskmate. The class fee is due, and I want to use my New Year's money to pay it for him."

"You're doing the right thing. Mom and Dad support you," Jiang Qian's parents responded.

Then, the voice of the auntie selling roujiamo at the school gate came: "Child, are you here to buy roujiamo again? I won't watch the performance today. You have a big appetite, so I'll put more meat in it for you."

There was also the bus driver's voice: "Hey young man, did you forget to bring your bus card? Come on up, I'll treat you for one dollar!"

Even the fat nurse from Sunshine Mental Hospital, whom Su Yan hated the most, appeared in his "movie":

"Why are they all carrots? Who the hell is going to eat these two pieces of broken beef? My two little patients are still growing. Bring me the spoon and I'll help myself!"

The scenery in front of him changed wildly like a movie scene. Su Yan seemed to have become a spectator, watching a wonderful movie with him as the protagonist.

Everyone in the movie is quietly helping him without him knowing.

A warm feeling filled his heart, and Su Yan unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.

"Do you understand?"

Amid the sound of footsteps, a dark shadow slowly walked to Su Yan and asked softly.

Such a strange thing, but Su Yan's consciousness seemed not to notice anything unusual, and he asked the black shadow as a matter of course: "What is this?"

The black shadow said in a deep voice:

"This is another part of your life. If you were just an ordinary person, you would meet so many people who are kind to you throughout your life, from going to school, working, getting married, having children, to death."

The shadow paused and asked gently, "Do you think they are worthy of your protection?"

Su Yan was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and nodded firmly.

Even though there are people who watch indifferently and turn a blind eye in this movie, there are still countless people who use the thread called "kindness" to mend other people's lives.

The world is in tatters, but there are always people patching it up.

Moreover, most bystanders are not heartless.

Su Yan saw with his own eyes that a neighbor who was unreasonable all day long and whom he hated so much, firmly pushed away the dirty hands that were reaching out to the girl on the bus.

I have also seen with my own eyes that a classmate with a bad temper who didn't get along with anyone, but after school when he saw hooligans outside the school bullying a weaker child, he stood up without hesitation and protected the child in his own way.

Such people are not bad at all.

"But you didn't seem to have such thoughts in the past. What on earth made you willing to brave all obstacles and spare no effort to prolong the lives of millions of people?"

These words were like the word of heaven, and he could not lie at all. Su Yan blurted out honestly:

"To make the crude bear proud that he didn't make a mistake, to prevent his companions from being so sad, and to make Sister Hongying think that Su Yan is awesome!"

The shadowy figure let out a laugh, then quickly regained his serious tone and asked gently, "Now that you've already failed, wouldn't it have been safer if you had known the outcome earlier? After all, even if you hadn't made a move, they wouldn't have blamed you in the slightest.

"If you don't do it, you're not wrong. But if you do it, you might make more mistakes. If you could turn back time, would you still make the same choice?"

Su Yan's expression froze. After thinking for a long time, he nodded slowly: "If I had to do it again, I would still make the same choice."

"Why?"

"To make the crude bear proud that he hadn't made a mistake, to prevent his friends from being so sad, and to make Sister Hongying think that Su Yan is awesome!"

Su Yan paused, his eyes lost as he said, "It's also to save the millions of people in Daxia."

"good."

The shadow laughed heartily and pressed on, "If one day, not only these millions of people needed your help, but tens of billions, hundreds of billions, or even trillions of lives awaited your salvation, how would you respond? Why?"

"To make Sister Hongying think Su Yan is awesome."

Su Yan blurted out the answer to the latter question, thought for a long time, and then gave the answer to the former, saying: "Strike the sword across the abyss, and stain the sky with blood."

"good."

The shadow's smile faded, his tone becoming serious as he slowly asked his final question:

"If one day comes when you are unable to resist the downward trend of fate, the flame will have to be handed over to your successor by you. I ask you, what kind of successor do you hope for in your heart?"

"Or, have you ever imagined what kind of existence you desire to transform into in the future?"

What kind of person do I want to be?

Su Yan was slightly stunned, and countless images kept flashing through his mind.

Zhao Kongcheng, sword in hand, stood before the lights of countless homes; the Master was ready to sacrifice his life to protect the millions of people in Cangnan; Sister Hongying, declaring herself foolish, resolutely approached the Nanda snake demon; Lin Qiye, possessed by two gods, stood in front of the giant sky-covering serpent, risking the annihilation of his soul at any moment...

There were also tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers outside Cangnan City, who used their mortal flesh and blood to block the Frost Giants outside the city.

"I hope he can be a fearless and courageous hero. I hope he can be a pure person, not afraid of any so-called gods or authorities, and always keep the well-being of ordinary people in mind... Or, you can put it this way."

Su Yan took a deep breath and said firmly:

"I hope he...has the ambition to sacrifice so much, and dares to change the world!"

"Good, very good! Hahahaha!" The black shadow laughed heartily.

boom--!

The scene in front of Su Yan suddenly became clear

Kobayashi Nanaya lay quietly on the ground. Only a few seconds passed and everything just now seemed like a dream.

The dark figure behind him stretched out his right hand and gently placed it on his head.

On the Bagua plate, the position of "Chen Dragon" suddenly shone, and a violent column of flames spread out violently with him as the center, rushing straight to the top of the sky.

This is the rune that Su Yan had been holding for a long time, but no matter how many times he burned it, it never made any movement. Now it has turned into a dragon.

"Chen Long: Good fortune!"

"—Heaven and earth are the furnace, and nature is the craftsman. All living beings are copper, and the holy heart is fire. Temper the essence of the eight wastelands, and forge eternal prosperity."

Su Yan took a deep breath, turned around and bowed deeply to the figure behind him.

"Ancestors."

"In just one year, you've grown to this point. Great!" Fuxi gently raised his hand and helped Su Yan up.

"From today on, I am both the ancestor and the master."

Su Yan's eyes reddened, and he said happily: "Master, you didn't leave?"

"Since you have that confusing clone technique, I, your teacher, naturally have it too. Now that I have no more worries, I will truly embark on my journey of departure."

My clone is pretty good, it can fly and skateboard... Su Yan felt a little guilty and didn't dare to say anything.

"The road ahead is like a chasm of nature. We can only meet again when karma is not yet broken. The strong winds that temper the bones are the teacher's teachings, and the ever-bright spirit platform is the reunion."

Su Yan hurriedly nodded and bowed deeply: "Farewell, Master."

The old man's figure gradually became blurred, and he seemed to suddenly remember something. He just uttered a few unpleasant words and then disappeared into the air.

"I don't have a girly heart. That piggy bank belongs to your master's wife!"

Chapter 244: Fighting Jörmungandr

Outside Cangnan City, the battle situation suddenly changed.

Loki, who was in the middle of a fierce battle with Lu Wuwei, suddenly felt his aura drop sharply. The divine power that had once dominated everyone plummeted to the bottom in just a short moment.

Lu Wuwei suddenly felt the pressure reduced, and took the opportunity to exert force, turning the accelerator of the electric bike as fast as he could, pressing Loki to the ground like a storm, and rolling over his face fiercely.
