CHAPTER 651: CHAPTER 651 YUAN QI

"How could it be... How could it be you?"

Staring at Yang Chuan, who was slowly descending before their eyes, the ministers who were originally preparing to greet Jacks alongside Yijing were all struck with disbelief, their faces filled with incredulity!

But Yang Chuan remained composed in the face of their astonished gazes, slowly making his way toward the ground.

With each step he took, Yang Chuan’s aura grew stronger, each step bringing an oppressive momentum that felt like it could last for minutes!

By the time Yang Chuan stood before them, his overwhelming aura had brought them to their knees, crushing even their ability to stand upright. They could only kneel before him, unable to rise!

Athena and Hettedia felt a chill seep into their hearts.

Apollo’s body trembled uncontrollably, his voice shattered, "How could it be him! How could he accomplish this! Blinding brilliance... he... could he have truly won?"

The loyalty of the gods, like Apollo, who for so long had compared themselves to each other, was now shaken to the core, reverberating across the entire world!

At this pivotal moment, apart from the decrees issued by Yang Tianpu, Chen Xue used her camera to capture the events, broadcasting them globally through live feeds on countless platforms. The unfolding developments left a deep psychological impact, shocking audiences worldwide.

From the initial playfulness to the final moment of earth-shattering revelation!

An epic that twisted and turned, wave upon wave!

All because of a single man!

A mortal who could defeat the gods!

Even defeating Shen King Jacks!

What an earthshaking event!

State leaders across the globe, each from countries deeply entrenched in faith in their divine spirits, watched the spectacle unfold as Yang Tianchuan faced the gods. Hosts from countless broadcasting networks scrambled to reanalyze and report with unprecedented urgency and awe, marking a paradigm shift as they began collaborating with Chinese officials.

Ultimately, all of this could be traced back to Yang Chuan’s victory over the United States a decade prior—a victory that had already stunned the world!

This time, his foe was none other than the concealed Zeus, the Divine King himself!!

Thus, Yang Chuan ceased to be a glorified myth created by ordinary people. He had become an undeniable reality, a truth venerated by every person across the globe!

How could anyone not revere this miraculous man?

Unlike other nations, there erupted cheers filled with fervent pride and immense vitality!

While much of the world reeled from shock and turmoil, China remained steadfast as a Great Country, embodying unity and strength in the face of global upheaval.

The Chinese cultivators had risen beyond mortal existence, becoming beings of legend!

The Chen Yuan Sect’s earlier scandals had long since been obscured by history.

But now, there was no more need to hide within the bounds of China!

No more fear of disdain from others! They acted with unmatched confidence, striking opponents down whenever needed!

For with the Yang surname, Yang Chuan, who had broken through the dusk of an old world and defeated the Divine King, had given the Chinese people unparalleled faith!

The sheer presence of Yang Qian, this incomparable figure, allowed China to rise ruggedly to the top of the world once more, even without lifting a finger!

Due to the existence of Yang Tianchuan, every nation grew to deeply respect the Chinese people. Their status became one to admire, free of rivals!

Hence, with countless Chinese citizens gazing up at the heavens, seeing divine beings kneeling before Yang Chuan, tears of pride streamed down their cheeks as voices roared, "Long live China! Long live China’s Protector God!"

...

No one knew how much time had passed atop Olympic Mountain.

Apollo still could not accept the reality that lay before him. At last, he roared in rage, "You filthy dog—what lowly tricks have you used?! What pitiful means allowed you to win? Why have you so shamelessly tarnished my glory?!"

"Filthy dog?"

Yang Chuan sneered quietly at the insult, lifting his arm as a mighty gust of wind blasted directly toward Apollo.

Amid the surge of wind, golden radiance swiftly condensed into two streams, exposing the abyss beneath it!

"Radiant Light Body!"

As Apollo witnessed the raw might in the winds, he reflexively summoned his Radiant Body.

In their previous encounters, while Apollo’s Radiant Body had been defeated before Yang Tianma’s Golden God, Yang Chuan back then had only wielded raw wind—and yet now, Apollo still felt threatened even by this gust!

But as soon as the Radiant Body materialized, the gale shattered completely through its fragile defense, utterly dispersing the divine radiance enveloping his figure.

"How could it... how could it be..." Apollo muttered in disbelief. His Radiant Light Body melted as his own golden wings crumbled into stardust, dissipating painfully into the atmosphere!

Seated upon the throne of triumph, Liang Chuan gazed down with unwavering resolve, unflinchingly striking down Apollo!

"How dare you..."

Witnessing Apollo so easily torn asunder, Athena Hettia and the others turned pale in an instant; hesitation danced across their expressions, rooted in palpable fear.

But Yang Chuan calmly observed them and said indifferently, "Do you also wish to challenge me, as Apollo did? Are you prepared for the same fate?"

Though his question was not directed at Athena or Hestia specifically, the dazzling divine figures behind them erupted into visible panic.

Face the same fate as Apollo?

That was certain death.

They revered their own immortality, savored the centuries they had lived; they did not wish to die!

Athena, Hestia, and the others exchanged glances. At last, they abandoned all thoughts of attacking Yang Chuan, suppressing their divine fury.

Yang Chuan observed their unease and coldly declared, "Ares, Apollo have met their righteous fates! Divine arrogance deserves no second chances! Jacks, as the future Divine King, should learn discipline or suffer the same fate! You’d best consider your next move carefully."

Yang Chuan then soared into the sky, his figure like a streaking galaxy, his voice thunderously echoing across the globe, "I hereby decree: The sacred soil of China shall never again be desecrated. None shall rise against my people, nor shall they suffer injustice so long as I stand. Wherever I reside, obedience from the divine and mortal alike is paramount; refuse, and face certain death."

Thunderous applause!

The resounding declaration reverberated across nations, as countless devotees abruptly spat blood or passed out in terror. Some even perished on the spot!

Yang Chuan’s proclamation sealed his dominion not only over the Mortal World but over the very fabric of faith itself.

The Cultivation World and its gods bore the full burden; Yang Chuan had returned after ten long years, obliterating the Divine King and vanquishing the gods!

He had once again claimed his rightful mantle of supremacy.

The myth of this world!

A decade ago, the Supreme Legend of this planet, the Invincible Mortal God of all humanity, had returned!

This was a tale to astonish all existence!

One man, and only one, in both mortal and divine realms, now reigned supreme, rivaling the most powerful forces born of twilight and upheaval.

Ares, Hermes—annihilated. With unparalleled might, Yang Chuan dismantled divine and mortal alliances alike, from Western Cultivators to the mayhem sparked by Radiant God Apollo and the wisdom of Athena, Goddess of Strategy!

Finally, even Shen King Jacks fell before him in battle, his defeat sending shockwaves through existence!

This series of events shook the world to its core!

After ten years, nothing had dulled his edge. If anything, Yang Chuan’s power had grown more unfathomable with time, ascending to elder statesman status while stopping at nothing to protect China’s glory.

Yang Chuan’s name escalated like wildfire as youths across the globe idolized his divinity; for cultivators, he was worshipped as the ultimate faith.

With Yang Chuan, China became a Holy Land, revered as an eternally sacred and unassailable domain of gods!

The reason for it all was singular:

A mortal man could defy all gods!

The global delegation that once sought to denounce China’s cultivation communities faded quietly when Yang Chuan made his final stand atop Olympic Mountain, silencing them to the last word.

Those who survived observed Yang Chuan’s unfathomable power in humility. Bowing low, they dared not voice opposition. Many renounced their pride, crying for mercy. "Spare us!" they pleaded.

To their regret, Yang Quan never found the need to address their groveling, nor did Yang Tianchuan regard their burdens. After his legends echoed across the world, Yang Chuan disappeared, returning to the shores of Yungang alongside Chen Xue. His legacy secure, Chen entrusted her hopes to the man who had been separated from her for a decade!

"Brother Yang, why haven’t you introduced me to Big Uncle and Auntie Zhang? When you saw Father, why did you look at him so strangely? Did something happen? Was it because of that promise you made when you met him again?"
