Not only that, Qin Yi discovered that beneath the man clad in golden armor was a plaza where over a hundred people were kneeling in worship.

Moreover, most of these people were young and beautiful women.

There were quite a few spectators around the plaza as well.

Qin Yi frowned slightly, what is this nonsense?

He silently landed in an empty spot and then blended into the crowd.

"Brother, may I ask, what is happening here?" Qin Yi asked a middle-aged man in his forties wearing glasses next to him.

The man in glasses had a face full of reverence and said, "Everyone is worshiping God."

Worshiping God?

Qin Yi raised his hand to look at the golden-armored man in the air and curiously asked, "Are you saying that he is the god you worship?"

"Young man, don't point." The man with glasses' face changed drastically, hurriedly pressing down Qin Yi's hand pointing at the golden-armored man, "That's a Heavenly God, you must not desecrate it, or you will incur divine wrath."

"Heavenly God?" Qin Yi almost laughed out loud, isn't this a mid-Nascent Soul Realm Qi Cultivator? How dare he call himself a god?

"Brother, what's with those women?"

"They are here to be selected as the Goddess's envoys, the Heavenly God's emissaries. The appearance of the Heavenly God this time is to choose a goddess. These girls are really lucky." The man in glasses said enviously, looking as if he would have enlisted if he weren't male.

Qin Yi's gaze flickered slightly, choosing a goddess?

Ignorant, is there really a god in this world? Even the Divine Emperor Qin Mu was just a title.

Besides, aren't gods supposed to protect people? How could they do such things?

This isn't choosing a goddess; it's clearly choosing a consort.

"Brother, what city is this?"

The man with glasses gave Qin Yi a strange look, suspecting that Qin Yi was an idiot. How could you not know what city you're in?

"Qingyuan City."

"Thank you."

Qin Yi lowered his head in contemplation; Qingyuan City should be in the south, under the territory of the Vermilion Bird Guardian God.

"Brother, which family is the Guardian Family of Qingyuan City?"

"What Guardian Family?" the man with glasses asked, looking puzzled.

Qin Yi was momentarily stunned; it seems not everyone knows about the Guardian Family.

In Qingyuan City, the Peace Army led by He Wen should be stationed nearby, right?

He Wen ranks tenth among the younger generation's strongest.

Strange?

The Vermilion Bird Envoy, the Guardian Family, why is there no one from the Peace Army to handle this?

While Qin Yi was puzzled, he suddenly sensed several strong Qi fluctuations in the crowd.

Are there Qi Refiners among these people?

Qin Yi quickly identified these Qi Refiners. Among them, the strongest was a late Golden Core Realm expert, judging from his attire, a Vermilion Bird Envoy.

At this moment, the golden-armored man in the air moved, raising his hand lightly; two beams of golden light descended, enveloping two young and beautiful women.

The golden-armored man gently raised his hand, and the two women enveloped in golden light slowly rose into the air.

The two women were moved to tears.

The other women and the spectators around them all looked envious.

"Those two have been chosen by the divine, they're so lucky," the man with glasses said enviously.

Qin Yi curiously said, "So, these two women are the chosen goddesses."

"Didn't you see them flying up? They've been chosen by the Heavenly God and bestowed with divine power, they've become goddesses."

Qin Yi frowned slightly, stifling a laugh, is this even possible?

These two women were clearly forcibly lifted into the air by the golden-armored man's power.

This is ridiculous, what age are we in? People still don't believe in science but in ghosts and gods.

The two women flew up into the air, leveling with the golden-armored man.

"You two possess immortal roots, fated to be with me. From today, you will be my heavenly emissaries. Will you come back to the mountain to cultivate, and later walk the earth to save all beings?"

The golden-armored man spoke slowly, his voice resonating with a seductive quality.

Qin Yi almost laughed out loud, aren't you a god? What does having immortal roots have to do with you, Heavenly God?

Returning to the mountain to cultivate? Sounds like Dual Cultivation to me.

However, the two women cried excitedly, nodding repeatedly and shouting, "I will."

"Alas," Qin Yi sighed lightly, "people are kind but ignorant. It's your parents who gave you life, and the national heroes who fed you. You should thank the country and your parents, not some goddamn god."

"Alright, I will now take you back to the Divine Mountain to cultivate,"

The golden-armored man waved his hand, preparing to leave with the two women.

"Stop."

A stern voice rang out.

Qin Yi looked and saw it was the Vermilion Bird Envoy.

He walked out from the crowd, his movements prompting a few others to follow, these were all Vermilion Bird Envoys.

The golden-armored man looked down at him, dismissively saying, "Mortal, what do you want?"

"Release those two women," the Vermilion Bird Envoy said coldly.

The crowd suddenly became agitated.

"How could he offend the Heavenly God? Isn't he afraid of divine retribution?"

"The Heavenly God must not be insulted, kneel and apologize immediately."

"Offending the Heavenly God is an unpardonable sin."

The crowd rebuked in unison, seemingly eager to present themselves favorably before the Heavenly God.

Such is human nature; when the poor and rich clash, there are plenty who rush to side with the wealthy.

The Vermilion Bird Envoy coldly looked around at everyone, "You've all been deceived by this person. He is not a Heavenly God, just a Qi Refiner.

The women he selected won't become goddesses, only his playthings.

We are acting under the authority of the country and have investigated thoroughly; this person is not a Heavenly God. I'm here today to reveal his true identity and stop everyone from being deceived."

The crowd fell silent; the word 'country' still carries significant weight.

"Are you saying this god is a fraud?" the golden-armored man asked casually.

The Vermilion Bird Envoy sneered, "You're a Qi Refiner daring to call yourself a god? Spreading malicious lies, deceiving the people.

We've investigated you thoroughly. Regardless of where you came from, this is Earth, not a place for you to act wantonly."

Qin Yi was momentarily stunned, his eyes flickering with contemplation. What did the Vermilion Bird Envoy mean by saying this person isn't from Earth?

The golden-armored man said coldly, "Lowly mortal, by offending a Heavenly God, do you know your own fate?"

"It's not your place to talk about my fate. But if you don't release those two women, don't blame me for being rude," the Vermilion Bird Guardian God said angrily.

The golden-armored man said coldly, "I, the god, rule over the life or death of all beings. To offend me is to offend Tianwei; a divine god must not be insulted, those who do so will perish.

I, the god, now grant you death, so that the world knows the consequences of offending divine might."

With those words, the golden-armored man raised his hand, a golden beam with rumbling noise, like a booming thunder, struck down at the Vermilion Bird Envoy.

"The heavens are angry, the heavens are angry…"

Hearing the thunderous roar, the spectators around were immediately panicked, shouting and screaming.
