Chapter 309: Massive Shock, Back in Chang’an

Earth had been under the rule of the gods for years. All countries on Earth—except for Huaxia which remained an independent state—had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The biggest change was the religious faith.

In the regions under the rule of gods, the citizens were only allowed to worship certain deities. Other religions were strictly prohibited.

For example, people living in Southern Europe could only worship Greek gods; people in Northern Europe could only worship Norse gods, while people in Egypt could only worship Egyptian gods…

This had hit the existing religions on Earth hard. The number of their followers had drastically reduced!

The second aspect was the political structure. In regions ruled by the gods, theocratic power was above all rights. This made the authority of various clerics expand infinitely, while the credibility of governments of all nations was reduced to least.

There were many other changes apart from the ones mentioned above. The arcanist groups, including Pangu Arcana Combine and Vulcan Arcana Combine, had suffered a great hit. They had almost ceased to exist in the regions ruled by the gods.

Other changes include the fall of old consortiums and the emergence of new enterprises and companies!

Also, since the return of Japanese gods, many Japanese wandering outside their motherland had come back to Japan island and started to build their new homes, getting ready to restore their country.

In short, most regions in the world, including Europe, Africa, and South America, had changed day by day in these years. The changes were so rapid that many people could not adapt in time.

And yet, even so, when Zeus—the king of gods—wanted to hold a divine meeting on Mount Olympus to discuss the formation of the Alliance of Gods, it had delivered a massive shock to the world.

In today’s world, where all gods stood abreast, the situation on Earth had already become unpredictable. And now, it was even worse with the Kryptonians joining in.

The gods finally wanted to form an alliance to defeat the Kryptonians. So which side—the gods or the Kryptonians—was stronger and more advantaged?

No matter who won, the outcome would affect Earth’s future direction!

“Foreign countries are still more eventful!”

“Tsk tsk, the gods are going to fight the Kryptonians, I wonder which side is stronger?”

“I think the gods have a better chance. Zeus the king of Greek gods, Odin the king of Norse gods, and Ra the sun god from the Egyptian pantheon… are all powerful super-clustered beings. Together, they can defeat the Kryptonians!”

“That might not be the case! The Kryptonians are a powerful extraterrestrial race. I heard that they can absorb power from the sun. The longer they absorb the sunlight, the more terrifying their strength. No one knows their limit. So, it will be hard for the gods to defeat them!”

“The world has undergone rapid changes. Five years ago, Huaxia was a leading nation. In just five years, when the gods and Kryptonians came, Huaxia’s status has been reduced to insignificance. And all we can do is watch. How frustrating! ”

“Don’t get vexed. Although our country was not as great as before, unlike countries in Europe and Africa, it is still independent and autonomous. Can you imagine having to visit the temple once a week and pray to these gods every day? There’s no way I can stand it. I still think that I have a better life!”

“True!”

The topic drew heated discussion among netizens on the Huaxia Internet.

“When can we drive the gods and Kryptonians out of Earth, and restore its peace?” Someone sighed.

“It’s unlikely unless Ling Jiu returns!”

“Ling Jiu? Haha! Even Emperor Might, Vulcan, and other bigshots on Earth were killed by the gods without leaving a trace, what can he do?”

“Besides, he has gone missing for 10 years. Five years ago, when the gods emerged, there’s no sight of him. Who knows whether he is dead or alive?”

“It’s a pity! Ling Jiu was less than 18 years old 10 years ago, yet he became the top arcanist on Earth. If he is still alive, his future must be bright!”

“No matter how talented a genius is, if they could not convert their talent to strength, everything is just empty talk…”

Such comments about Ling Jiu only constituted a minority on the Internet. And even when they reappeared, they would go down and submerged by the discussion wave.

There were too few people on Earth who still remembered Ling Jiu. His appearance was meteoric. He had disappeared in a hurry, leaving only a brief shower of light.

People had even gradually stopped mentioning the names of powerful arcanists like Emperor Might and Vulcan. It was because these arcanists had failed; they were the losers. So they were not worth mentioning.

Most people only knew that it was the gods and the Kryptonians who had put the world in turmoil!

…

Chang’an Base City, Pangu Arcana Combine’s branch

Although the arcanist groups like Pangu Arcana Combine and Vulcan Arcana Combine had suffered heavy losses abroad and nearly shut down, many arcanist groups in Huaxia were still operating normally.

At this moment, a bunch of bigshots, including Emperor Might and Vulcan, were sitting and chatting in the lounge on the top floor of the company building. At the same time, Ai Tianfan, the general manager, behaved cautiously at their side.

Back then, when Ling Jiu had arrived at Chang’an for the first time, Ai Tianfan was already the general manager of the Chang’an branch. Today, he was still the general manager after a dozen years.

Moreover, there was not much improvement in his strength. He was a level-8 arcanist. Even Ai Yuhe, who was chatting with Ling’er not far away, outdid him.

Ai Yuhe had already reached the ninth level. She was now a level-9 arcanist.

“In other words, as of now, there is only a total of five super-clustered beings among the pantheons?”

Ling Jiu, who was holding an iPad, asked in confusion as he flipped through the photos.

“As far as we know, there are indeed only five super-clustered beings!”

Ai Tianfan hurriedly replied Ling Jiu respectfully, “They are Zeus and Hades from the Greek pantheon, Odin from Norse pantheon, Ra from the Egyptian pantheon, and Brahma from Indian pantheon!”

“Five super-clustered lifeforms!”

Emperor Might tapped the table lightly. “These five guys alone are not easy to deal with. If we were without Ling Jiu, we wouldn’t even have the courage to fight them!”

“Yeah! You and I have reached the pinnacle of galactic lifeform. Even if we can’t defeat the Prime Gods of the major pantheons, at least, we won’t lose the fight. However, to fight against super-clustered lifeforms…” Vulcan shook his head.

“Five super-clustered lifeforms. They will have a hard time defeating the Kryptonians!”

Ling Jiu smiled lightly. “As far as I know, there are at least 16 super-clustered beings among the Kryptonians. The pantheons only have five super-clustered beings…hehe!”

Ling Jiu believed that he knew the Kryptonians better than anyone else. Nobody on Earth would outdo him on this matter. He had been to Atlantis before, not to mention he was housing more than 300 Kryptonian gardeners on Floating Island!

Therefore, no one knew the Kryptonians better than him!

Ling Jiu knew very well that there were 16 super-clustered-level Kryptonians on Atlantis. They were the 16 elders, the Kryptonian ancestors!

Not to mention the Kryptonians in the spacecraft discovered by the United States!

Together, how many super-clustered lifeforms were there?

“16 super-clustered lifeforms!!!”

Emperor Might, Vulcan, and other galactic-level bigshots gasped in surprise. Everyone looked at Ling Jiu; some were stupified.

“Ling Jiu, are you serious about this?”

Vulcan hurriedly asked.

“It’s true! 10 years ago, I went to the Atlantis. It was occupied by the Kryptonians. And I had faced them before so I knew their strength!”

Ling Jiu spoke affirmatively. “If the strength of these pantheons is the same as what we expect, this so-called Alliance of Gods is a joke!”

“There is one more trouble, which is the most disturbing!”
