212: Chapter 212: Killing to Establish Authority 212: Chapter 212: Killing to Establish Authority “Records about this are scarce, but it is said to be able to warp time and space, achieving the effect of time travel,” Ji Qian pondered and spoke indifferently.
The Temple of Gods was not a tourist attraction to begin with, and very few people had visited it.
The records were even more sparse, with only a few sentences describing it, without even a record of what the Temple of Gods looks like.
“Time travel, that’s so incredible,” Ye Shikai exclaimed, always thinking that time travel was something only found in movies.
Could the Temple of Gods also be such a miraculous place?
“This is just what the records say, for reference only,” Ji Qian shook her head, somewhat helplessly.
Even if someone did travel through time, and came back to tell you that time travel is possible, they would probably be treated as if they were insane.
It was getting late, so Ye Shikai let Ji Qian sleep in the bed while he sat in a chair.
The night was silent, utterly so.
On the Holy Mountain, the nighttime temperature was even lower, and the cold wind kept blowing in…
“You should come sleep over here for a while,” Ji Qian suddenly said in the darkness.
“It’s okay,” Ye Shikai quickly replied, and as expected, neither of them slept.
“If you don’t come, I’ll go down,” Ji Qian said lightly.
“Sigh,” Ye Shikai sighed softly.
Ji Qian was cold to others but very gentle to Ye Shikai.
However, one thing that didn’t change was her strong-willed nature, very much like Su Qingyu.
Ye Shikai knew it was pointless to convince her and also understood her intention.
Ye Shikai got into bed carefully and had just lied down when Ji Qian’s hand hugged his waist, and her head nestled into his chest.
Ye Shikai’s heart thumped wildly, and in the quiet, they could only hear each other’s breathing.
“Remember, the first time we met was also on the Holy Mountain,” Ye Shikai whispered softly.
A year and a half ago.
“Boss, this is your first appearance since becoming a newly ascended Main God,” Ghost said excitedly to Ye Shikai at the foot of the Holy Mountain.
Not long ago in the Netherworld Palace, Ye Shikai was valiant, and with merely twenty-three moves he killed the former Netherworld King, becoming a Local Tyrant.
Becoming a Main God can be as difficult as reaching the heavens, or as simple and crude as just going to someone’s doorstep, defeating them, and taking the Main God Token to become a new Main God.
However, to challenge a Main God, you must first have extraordinary strength, and also fight on away ground while guarding against the Main God’s subordinates.
It is rare to find someone capable of both, but Ye Shikai not only killed the previous Netherworld King, but also consecutively slew three Elders, achieving fame in a single battle and shaking the Underworld.
“That old man relied on his age to bully others, but the other Main Gods are not so easy to deal with,” Ye Shikai glanced at the Holy Mountain ahead of him.
This was also his first time here, having received notice that several other Main Gods would also be here.
“Hades, truly a person of remarkable appearance; no wonder you secured the position of Netherworld King in just twenty-three moves.” Suddenly, a voice came from not far away.
Ye Shikai turned around to see, holding a Fire God Hammer in his hand, it was indeed the Fire God Hephesto.
Ye Shikai’s expression turned solemn, Hephesto’s tone was filled with disdain.
Among the ranks of the Main Gods, there were always very few from Huaxia, so there was an unwritten tradition among the Main Gods targeting those from Huaxia specifically.
Ye Shikai had only recently ascended to the position of a Main God, and it was inevitable that he would face hostility from many Main Gods.
But the greatest hostility would probably come from those extremely powerful experts who nevertheless dared not challenge the Main Gods.
To them, Ye Shikai wasn’t merely an adversary but a target for killing because, in their eyes, the throne of the Netherworld King was a piece of fat meat.
“Didn’t expect the newly promoted Main God to also be a handsome guy.” At this moment, another voice sounded.
A charming European woman walked over, and Ye Shikai recognized her, the Goddess of Beauty Aphrodite.
In terms of combat power, she wasn’t as good as others, but what she was proficient in was Illusion Technique, especially in Charming Skills.
Compared to the glaring edge of a blade, Charming Skills were sometimes even more lethal because they were very peculiar and caught people off guard.
Many Main Gods had arrived, including the Sea God Poseidon, the Sun God Apollo, the Heavenly Queen Hera.
Apart from the Main Gods, there were also many top-notch masters gathered at the base of Holy Mountain.
“A green youth, you also dare to occupy the position of Netherworld King?” Suddenly, a sharp voice came from among the crowd.
Ye Shikai glanced over; this person was not a Main God but a man from an island nation.
Ye Shikai normally despised islanders the most, and the one in front of him, with a monkey-like face, was known to him.
The man’s name was Nakamura Shogo, a renowned swordsman wielding a martial arts sword, slaying people as easily as chopping melons and cutting vegetables.
In his own nation, he also had a distinguished reputation.
Behind him, there followed a crowd of henchmen, each and every one incredibly arrogant.
Ghost was very angry and wanted to take action to teach Nakamura Shogo a lesson but was stopped by Ye Shikai.
Faced with the crowd’s discussions, Ye Shikai remained silent, and slowly approached them.
Then he suddenly said in a cold voice, “I am the Netherworld King now, does anyone have an objection?”
That one sentence, was like a heavy bombshell, making the noisy crowd suddenly quiet down.
“I’ll say it again, anyone who has an objection can stand out now.” Ye Shikai raised his voice.
“I don’t accept you.” Nakamura Shogo decisively stood up and even drew his sword.
“Me too.” Ye Shikai looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man from India named Shah Rukh, a master wrestler, also a ruthless character.
In the Underworld, he had an undefeated record of fifteen fights and was also a top-notch expert.
Ye Shikai looked at the two men, sneered coldly, “Very good.”
“I want to…” Nakamura Shogo started to speak but abruptly stopped midway, creating confusion among the crowd who looked over.
And they were shocked at the sight; Nakamura Shogo’s chest now had a huge cavity, and the sword in his hand was broken into fragments.
Under the astonished gazes of everyone, Nakamura Shogo fell down with a “thud.”
“If you want to brag, you’d better stand tall.” Ye Shikai disdainfully wiped the blood from his hand.
Nakamura Shogo was quite short, but this was also a common trait among islanders.
In an instant, Ye Shikai had claimed the life of a top-notch expert, and most of the spectators hadn’t even noticed; what kind of speed was this?
As for that sword, almost turned into fragments, this sword was known as the Nakamura Demon Blade, a famed weapon of the Nakamura Clan, made of meteoric iron and incredibly hard, yet now it was shattered, a testament to Ye Shikai’s immense Inner Strength.
The disciples behind Nakamura Shogo, seeing their master killed, immediately wanted to draw their swords for revenge.
A shadow flashed by, and then everybody started falling to the ground slowly, blood flowing from their necks.
“What a noisy bunch.” Ye Shikai nonchalantly killed more than a dozen people with light strokes; his objective was to establish his authority through killing.
