National Guardian's Gone and We're Done

Chapter 255 - 254: Never Knew the Sky Could Be So Beautiful

Watching the starkly different reactions of Gao Liceng and Nalan Fengshan, Chu He shook his head slightly.

In his opinion, Gao Liceng’s potential was indeed greater.

After all, Gao Liceng was so young, yet after encountering a mystical technique like the Paper Binding Skill,

she was able to cultivate it directly to its most profound level, which was proof enough of her terrifying talent.

However, this didn’t mean Nalan Fengshan’s talent was far inferior to Gao Liceng’s.

In fact, the power of the yellow earth within Nalan Fengshan’s body also seemed to carry traces of the Deities.

Thus,

when a droplet formed from the external Supreme Divinity entered Nalan Fengshan’s body, he had an exceptionally difficult time absorbing it.

Moreover, his body seemed to be faintly rejecting it,

forcing Nalan Fengshan to fight against his own physical instincts

in order to complete the absorption of the droplet formed from Supreme Divinity.

This was also why his entire absorption process seemed much less smooth than Gao Liceng’s.

"As for you, you don’t need it."

Chu He turned to Yumizakura and said in a flat tone.

"That’s right. I need to evolve the ordinary Divine Power within my own body."

Yumizakura nodded, a look of resignation on her face.

In truth, she was also extremely envious of the Supreme Divine Power from Brahma and Shiva.

Unfortunately, she had already refined her own Divine Power within her body,

so she could only watch helplessly as Gao Liceng and Nalan Fengshan absorbed it without any reservations.

"What about you? You don’t want any?"

Seeing that Chu He had no intention of cultivating, Yumizakura was filled with confusion and asked.

In her view, Chu He should be human, or at least, had not yet transcended the human realm.

Otherwise, his body should have also produced Supreme Divine Power,

or at the very least, ordinary Divine Power.

But Yumizakura couldn’t feel any trace of Supreme Divinity or ordinary Divine Power in Chu He’s body.

"I don’t need it."

Chu He shook his head again, not elaborating on the matter.

He had already completely refined the Supreme Divine Power he absorbed before.

And the path he cultivated was completely different from that of beings like Yumizakura, Brahma, and Shiva.

"What’s the plan now?" Yumizakura asked.

"Naturally, we’re going to uproot the very foundations of the White Elephant Empire."

Originally, Chu He had been prepared to go on a killing spree.

He had not a shred of mercy for the so-called civilians of the White Elephant Empire.

Before coming here, Chu He was well aware

that the White Elephant Empire’s Defense Teams often went to the Great Xia Empire’s Border Cities to harass them for no reason,

and would even go so far as to kill people.

Although the Great Xia Empire would also retaliate in kind,

making the White Elephant Empire pay with lives,

over time, the Great Xia Empire also suffered considerable losses.

Moreover, the citizens of the White Elephant Empire often took advantage of the chaos to benefit themselves.

Besides, if the Great Xia Empire were truly conquered by the White Elephant Empire’s three Supreme Deities,

Chu He highly doubted that the so-called ordinary, innocent citizens of the White Elephant Empire wouldn’t reap any benefits from it.

However, to his surprise, after he dealt with Brahma and Shiva, the system sent a notification that the mission was complete.

Therefore, Chu He chose not to engage in a large-scale slaughter. It wasn’t that he had gone soft at that moment, but rather that he felt it was a waste of time.

After all, the White Elephant Empire had the largest population on the entire Blue Star.

Even if all these people were just chickens, ducks, pigs, and dogs, killing them all would still take a significant amount of time.

"You stay here and stand guard. Protect Nalan Fengshan and Gao Liceng."

Chu He glanced at Gao Liceng and Nalan Fengshan.

Droplets formed from Supreme Divine Power were still floating around the two of them.

Completely absorbing all these droplets was not something that could be finished in a day or two.

This was the perfect opportunity for Chu He to go deal with the other hidden powers within the White Elephant Empire.

Only by completely crippling the White Elephant Empire could the Border Cities of the Great Xia Empire know permanent peace and stability.

"Don’t worry, I will definitely protect them," Yumizakura promised with a solemn nod.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Chu He vanished on the spot as if he had never been there, leaving only silent space behind.

...

The vast, rosy glow in the sky had dissipated, but the skies above the White Elephant Empire still presented a beautiful scene.

Puffy white clouds, soft as cotton candy, were pure white and flawless.

The sunlight, tinged with a faint red halo, carried the unique warmth of the mortal world as it fell upon the people.

Sharuk, the king of the White Elephant Empire, sat upon his magnificent throne, tightly gripping the King’s Staff.

The King’s Staff was inlaid with the White Elephant Empire’s most expensive gems, which glittered with dazzling light.

Sharuk just sat there quietly on his throne, gazing at the clear sky above the Divine Hall.

A trace of wonder appeared in his eyes; he had never realized the sky of the White Elephant Empire could be so beautiful.

Meanwhile, the Grand State Preceptor sat slumped on the ground nearby, a jarring sight that completely ruined the beautiful scene.

Cold sweat had already soaked the Grand State Preceptor’s ornate ceremonial robes, and his face was as pale as paper.

He looked like a patient on the verge of death from a serious illness.

His pale lips trembled unceasingly, betraying the fear and unease in his heart.

The dense crowd around them had varied reactions.

Some had their hands clasped together, eyes shut tight, constantly muttering prayers, their faces filled with piety and terror.

Others wore expressions similar to Sharuk’s, their gazes unfocused, staring blankly at nothing in particular, their minds seemingly empty.

Still others covered their faces and had already begun to weep.

For today’s grand spectacle, and to restore the glory of the White Elephant Empire,

a huge screen had been specially installed next to the Divine Hall.

The original intention was to let the people of the White Elephant Empire clearly watch the scene of Chu He’s execution.

But they never could have imagined

that what they would see was the scene of the White Elephant Empire about to suffer a devastating blow!

Given Chu He’s style, after dealing with Brahma and Shiva,

how could he possibly let the White Elephant Empire off so easily?

Sure enough, a slender figure appeared in King Sharuk’s line of sight.

Beneath the sun, high in the sky, a figure abruptly appeared.

Though slender, the figure stood exceptionally straight, like a javelin planted between heaven and earth.

The white clouds nearby, sensing the terrifying pressure emanating from that person’s body, scattered in all directions in a panic, not daring to approach.

It was as if an invisible gale surrounded Chu He, acting like a loyal guard, ruthlessly driving the clouds away.

King Sharuk recognized him with a single glance.

This was the number one powerhouse who had shaken the entire Blue Star to its core—Chu He!
