382: Chapter 79 Weiyuan City Mythical Battle (4) 382: Chapter 79 Weiyuan City Mythical Battle (4) Weiyuan City of Dahe Island is the capital of Zero Island, where most contemporary residents regard it as the synonym of a gigantic metropolis, yet few know its name in the past.
Before Zero Island was divided into three, Weiyuan City already existed; back then, its name was the Prosperous Weiyuan Rich Harvest Nation.
Gods sat enthroned within the profound vortexes, the souls of the dead returned to the gloom below Huangquan, and humans dwelled on the surface, living in the crevice between the vortexes and Huangquan.
Initially, there were no houses in the crevice, just a vast wilderness.
It was the ancient gods who built Weiyuan and bestowed it upon the surface as a nation for humans.
This nation, established by the gods, naturally belonged to them as well.
Thus, the god was not only the god of Weiyuan but also the god of the human world.
Hence, the priests reverently referred to Him by a majestic title, God of Nation-Making, Venerable Master.
The common people couldn’t remember such a complicated name, so they chose another shorter and easier to remember title, calling Him “Great Country Lord” during worship.
“That is the origin of Lord God of Nation-Making, Venerable Master, do you still have doubts?” programmers from Sirang Electronics answered uniformly, their bald heads shining with similar reflectiveness.
The leading departmental manager, Kobashi, rubbed his hands together and bowed with a smile, “We are very grateful for your explanation!”
Pleased, the priest of Huangquan Shrine nodded his head, then began to explain the origin of the fox god (God of Yuzhuan).
Kobashi guessed this priest must have been involved in the underworld before, otherwise there was no reason that just a few days ago, after being shoved into the donation box looking like he was on his last breath, he would return to his post today full of vigor.
Kobashi thought back to the event five days prior, remembered those terrifying biker gangs, and the three young people who had set out from the shrine.
Now that he thought about it, he was sure he had witnessed the beginning of something, something he would never encounter in his life and should not have encountered.
At that thought, Kobashi felt an inexplicable panic inside.
After the priest finished another section, Kobashi asked with a respectful smile, “Forgive me for asking, venerable priest.
May I inquire if today…
is an auspicious day for our departure back to Weiyuan City?” Worried that the underworld priest would blame him, Kobashi quickly added, “Everyone is really missing our company.”
The underworld-looking priest gave him a strange look and didn’t say much, just stretched out his hand to draw the curtain back.
Right now, Kobashi and the programmers were standing in Huangquan Shrine’s inner sanctuary, listening to the teachings; the window faced north, in the direction of Dahe Island.
They briefly glanced outside through the window.
The honest programmers all screamed in terror!
The world outside the window seemed to be split by an invisible blade into two, one half covered by a crimson blood veil, and the other by silvery-white Holy Light.
Two inexplicably vast powers divided the sky, tangling violently at the boundary.
The struggle between these powers was so ferocious it reminded him of wild beasts tearing at each other, like two behemoths capable of devouring nations entwined in a battle over Zero Island!
With composure, the priest closed the curtains.
Kobashi, you saw it yourself.
Weiyuan City is experiencing a Super Crossbow Level meteorological disaster today.
Once the disaster passes, you will be able to return safely to your hometown.”
“aieeee…” Kobashi shivered, “Is that, a, a meteorological disaster?”
The priest patted the middle-aged man’s back forcefully like a mafia boss, smiling kindly, “Of course it’s a meteorological disaster!
Our shrine has received such great technical assistance from you all, how could we deceive you?”
Assistance with what?
Wasn’t the project they came for about improving feng shui, attracting customers with a large cyber Array?
At that moment, the sound indicating the opening of an Array came from the direction of the shrine’s main hall, the audio and visual effects so intense they could feel it through the wall.
Kobashi told himself he mustn’t think any further, pretending to know nothing.
With his hands joined in prayer, the middle-aged corporate drudge felt relieved that he had made the right decision by bringing family members with him on the work trip, all the while praying for the safety of those young people who seemed to be involved in this affair.
He was unaware that one of the young people who had left the Huangquan Shrine now stood face-to-face with the god who established Weiyuan.
Her complexion was very poor, almost like the pallor of death.
“Silent Phase · Manifest.
In the silent moment, Sakura Dance blooms.”
Her ears wouldn’t deceive her.
The Impermanence Skill of Sakura Dance was Silent Phase, but it sounded too absurd.
The true identity of Sakura Dance was the God of Nation-Making, Venerable Master, which was a fact Rina learned yesterday from her grandmother.
Her becoming a Ninja of the Martial Arts Association was the result of an extreme plan devised by Zero Island’s bigwigs during the secret wars at the end of the last century.
This involved many hidden transactions between various powers, of which Rina had no interest.
She only understood one thing: The God of Nation-Making, Venerable Master, symbolized the fate of Zero Island, so her Impermanence Skill should rightly be a sign of disaster, not the Silent Phase of death and decay!
“Why use the Impermanence Skill of Silent Phase?!”
Sakura Dance reached out, catching a falling petal.
“This nation is on the path to destruction, Rina.”
She spoke softly, though facing the witch, her gaze seemed to pierce through her body, looking towards something in the distance.
“Those struggling in the abyss have long been numb, the decision-makers err time and again, endless tragedies give rise to the red daemon, returning the sorrow and pain to the nation that birthed her.”
The cherry blossoms drifted down slowly, and Rina quickly spun her long staff for protection but didn’t feel the slightest impact, as if they were indeed just falling petals, descending with the wind, blending into the brown soil.
“Everyone no longer looks toward the future, just gazes at the end.
What is achieved at the cost of death is not a heroic deed, but just a splendid firework.” Sakura Dance let go of the petal, “My heart’s phase is the current situation of Zero Island.”
