Without saying a word, Blur launched a divine attack, trying to catch his opponent off guard.
"Heh, a battle a thousand miles away!"
Seeing the other party's behavior, Liu Zhengyuan was even more disdainful.
He easily deflected the attack and used his sword to force Brull to retreat repeatedly.
Liu Zhengyuan had complete control of the rhythm, and in no time, Bluhr had retreated a thousand miles away from the army.
Now, Liu Zhengyuan unleashed his full power and launched a fierce attack.
"In the past, divine power was indeed as invincible as the heavens! But now, the human race has the foundation to contend with it! The gods are no longer the heavens! The human race has risen!"
His voice was loud and clear, and his words seemed to be a response to Bruhl, yet also to be spoken to the ears of countless humans.
A terrifying burst of energy erupted, transforming into countless blades that slashed at Blur's body.
"ah--!"
The screams were incessant, but to humans thousands of miles away, they sounded like heavenly music.
"I will kill you! Even if I extract your soul, a thousand years of divine fire would not be enough!"
Blur's face contorted in a ferocious grimace as he unleashed a torrent of divine power, striking Liu Zhengyuan with his fist.
"You may give it a try! Are you capable enough?"
"If you are defeated in this battle, then become our food! Let our human warriors share in the feast!"
Liu Zhengyuan's eyes burst forth with golden light, and all his essence, energy, and spirit exploded from his body, transforming into a sharp sword that slashed towards Bruer.
"With a single breath, all gods perish!"
"cut!"
The sword, gleaming with a chilling light and carrying immense power, pointed directly at Bluh.
The latter's prized divine power was easily cleaved in two and instantly dissolved.
The sword continued its relentless advance, severing one of his arms before the latter's horrified gaze.
"puff!"
Golden divine blood fell from the sky.
"ah--!"
Bruhl screamed repeatedly.
Liu Zhengyuan's eyes were indifferent: "Is my precious sword sharp?!"
Faced with his questioning, Blur's eyes flashed with malice. Ignoring his injuries, he hurriedly fled into the distance.
He now understood that he was no match for Liu Zhengyuan, but as long as he escaped and joined forces with the other gods, all that bullshit about the rise of the human race would be nipped in the bud.
"No matter how strong you are, the gods are not something a mere ant-like human race can contend with! Once I bring reinforcements, I will annihilate your entire race!"
Blour made a harsh statement and has already fled a thousand miles away.
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhengyuan grinned: "The human race may not be able to fight against the gods now, but in a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand years! Our human race will definitely stand firm in this world!"
"Therefore... for the sake of humanity's eternal foundation, I beg you to die!"
Blur, who had escaped thousands of miles away in an instant, paused, as a terrifying aura once again burst forth from his right arm and tightly bound him.
"this!"
His face showed fear as he mobilized all his divine power to dissolve this essence, energy, and spirit, but the effect was very slow.
Before he could break free of his restraints, Liu Zhengyuan came to his side.
A massive blade formed from the essence of spirit hovered above Bruhl's head.
He sensed the presence of death.
"fall!"
"No!"
Blur roared in alarm and even burned his life essence to break free of his restraints, but the next moment a sharp blade was already in front of him, giving him no chance to escape.
He could only fight back desperately.
"Thud!"
The aftershocks of their collision swept across all the surrounding mountains.
Bruhl was crushed and fell into the mountains, his legs bent as he struggled to stay upright.
His breath began to drop rapidly, and he trembled all over as he uttered a harsh threat before he died.
"In the end, you only killed me, a lower-level god! The human race will never rise! I will await the arrival of the human race in the Nine Netherworlds!"
"boom--!!!"
A pillar of light shot into the sky, and Blur's body was completely engulfed by his spirit.
In the end, his soul was annihilated, leaving behind a severed-arm divine body, which was intentionally done by Liu Zhengyuan.
"Hmph... what you say probably won't come true even in the deepest hell..."
Liu Zhengyuan's eyes flickered, and with his vital energy, he lifted the divine body and began to return.
The scene changes.
Liu Zhengyuan placed this divine body in front of the army.
"Can you all understand why this battle is so?"
The crowd's morale soared, and they roared, "Gods can be defeated! Humans can slay gods!"
"That's right! From this day forward, we cultivators must dare to fight! Dare to struggle! No matter how strong a god is! Humans can still kill him!"
Liu Zhengyuan said in a deep voice.
This battle greatly boosted the confidence of the human race. They saw Liu Zhengyuan overpowering the gods single-handedly, leaving them with no chance to fight back. They realized that as long as they cultivated diligently, they too could reach this level!
The group began to return to their territory, carrying the divine body as a spoil of war.
Everyone in the clan came to watch.
The others shared the spoils of the battle with them, letting those who hadn't gone know the power of the clan leader.
"A grand feast is being held today! The whole clan is celebrating!"
Liu Zhengyuan ordered his men to carry the divine body away for cooking, since the human population had now reached tens of millions.
One divine body alone was certainly not enough to share, so he could only have the divine body boiled into a thick soup so that everyone could have a taste.
For a time, the whole clan celebrated, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.
Liu Zhengyuan drank the soup with everyone, and seeing their smiles, he smiled back.
This time is different from the past. Last time, it was Liu Shen who killed the god, but this time the fruit was reaped by their own hands, which is of extraordinary significance.
May humanity prosper!
......
Zhang Mu smiled as he looked at the bustling human territory and felt the human race's fortune surge several times over.
"Just one slaying of a god has increased the fortune of the human race several times over. It seems that my idea was indeed correct."
Next, humanity only needs to slowly expand outwards, gradually eroding the power of the weaker gods to strengthen itself.
He had a plan in mind.
A few days later, he drew a map showing the distribution of the gods and handed it to Liu Zhengyuan. The map recorded the location of all the gods in the vicinity and their strength.
"This map will allow you to develop rapidly. You should assess your own strength and conquer them one by one. Do not be impatient."
Zhang Mu warned.
"Yes, don't worry, Goddess Liu, I will make the arrangements."
Liu Zhengyuan nodded solemnly as he held the power map.
He could not possibly think that the human race was so powerful as to be invincible just because of one battle. It was only a victory over a lower god, and there was still a long way to go before the human race truly rose to power.
"Yes, that's enough for you. Go now."
......
Liu Zhengyuan carefully examined the power map, estimating the targets that the human race could deal with given its current strength.
"These deities are distributed in a rather orderly manner, with the weaker ones in the outer circle and the stronger ones in the inner circle."
Liu Zhengyuan smiled; these were conditions that would benefit the human race.
You just need to fight your way through slowly, just like fighting a boss, getting stronger as you challenge yourself.
With a plan in mind, he began to make arrangements.
The first step is to bring over and settle all the humans from that previous divine realm.
The human race needs a constant influx of fresh blood to grow stronger.
Even if those humans are exhausted, as long as they can reproduce, that's fine. Let them live peacefully within their tribe and contribute to the growth of the human race.
