The Spell's Range Covers the Entire Territory of China? Hand It Over to the Nation

83: Chapter 83 Arena of the Gods”Refine!”

Su Yun naturally would not answer the Doctor’s question.

Following this command, the giant cauldron shook violently.

The giant cauldron, which was originally inverted, slowly turned over, standing upright between heaven and earth.

The lid of the cauldron descended, fitting perfectly.

Beneath the cauldron, the kindling burned fiercely.

This was not about destruction; this was about extraction.

In Dragon Summer’s culture, where venomous snakes appear, there must be an antidote herb; highly toxic things are often great tonics. The key lies in how they are ’processed.’

Discard the dross and extract the essence.

Stripping away the ’outer shell’ belonging to the West—the chaotic and spiritually polluting parts—what remained was the purest energy crystal.

”Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—”

It sounded as if the world was frying and stir-frying.

The Doctor collapsed onto the ground, his eyes vacant.

He could feel it.

As the giant cauldron operated, the power within him, which had been flowing ceaselessly and made him so proud, was rapidly draining away.

He was bound to the Angel.

Now, his ’Master’ was being cooked as ingredients, and he, the ’believer,’ was like a parasite clinging to the food, being evaporated bit by bit by the high heat.

”You... you devils...”

The Doctor looked at his own hands.

His skin began to melt, not in a gruesome, bloody way, but dissolving into fine ash, little by little, like a candle.

”How dare you... treat a God as...”

The Doctor’s words were cut short.

Because he saw an even more terrifying sight.

The lid of that giant cauldron moved.

”Pfft—”

A plume of white steam erupted from the gap in the cauldron lid.

But this steam was not exhaust gas.

It was golden.

It carried an intense, dense fragrance that instantly swept across the entire hemisphere.

This aroma was overwhelmingly powerful.

One breath brought refreshment; two breaths cured all ailments; three breaths made one feel capable of running five kilometers on the ground.

The front lines.

The soldiers who were feeling nauseous and dizzy from close-range radiation exposure instantly had all their discomfort vanish the moment this fragrance drifted over.

What replaced it was the frantic surging of Qi and blood within their bodies.

”My... my dizziness is gone?”

”Holy crap, I feel like I could punch a bull to death right now!”

”This smell... doesn’t it kind of resemble the braised pork my family makes during the New Year? No, it’s like ginseng chicken soup!”

The soldiers breathed greedily.

And in mid-air, Zhao Tiezhu, who was closest, benefited the most.

His entire body was bathed in the golden steam.

His soul body, which had been somewhat ethereal, was now as solid as a real flesh-and-blood body.

Not only that.

The armor on him began to change.

On the originally ancient Ming Guang Armor, streaks of golden feather patterns actually emerged. These were the Angelic rules refined and perfectly integrated into the Heroic Spirit System.

”Hiccup—”

Zhao Tiezhu let out a loud burp, and the xingtian dharma image behind him also burped in unison, exhaling a ring of golden smoke.

”Comfortable.”

Zhao Tiezhu patted his stomach, looking completely satisfied. ”This Western fast food might lack nutrition, but you can’t beat how rich it is in oil and fat.”

...In the Command Hall.

Su Yun looked at the notification popping up on the System panel and nodded with satisfaction.

[Refinement Complete.]

[Item Acquired: Holy Spirit · Great Tonic Pill (Mythic Grade) x3]

[Materials Acquired: Fallen Divine Bone (Complete) x1]

[Domain-Wide Buff Acquired: Divinity Nurturing (Coverage Area: All of Dragon Summer and Allied Zones). Effect: All personnel’s physical fitness increased by 15%, resistance to spiritual pollution increased by 50%.]

”Frugality allows for longevity.”

Su Yun waved his hand, and the giant cauldron spanning the horizon slowly dissipated, transforming into three golden, dragon-eye-sized Medicinal Pills and one spine as white as jade but emitting terrifying pressure, falling into his palm.

These were good things.

The Medicinal Pills could extend the lifespan of Elder Long’s parents or help core Heroic Spirits achieve a Breakthrough.

As for this bone...

Su Yun stroked his chin, wondering if he could forge a suitable weapon for a Heroic Spirit skilled in weaponry later on? Perhaps give Sun Wukong a new staff? Or give Nezha a Universe Ring?

Just as Su Yun was calculating how to distribute the spoils of war...

On the isolated island.

The Doctor’s figure had completely vanished.

No corpse, no trace.

Under the crushing weight of Mythical concepts, not even dust remained of him.

His final thought before death was not fear of death, but a deep sense of absurdity.

The ’evolution’ he had pursued his entire life was, in the eyes of the Easterners, merely a perfectly cooked ’dish.’

That was the greatest irony.

...As the Angel was completely refined, the surface of the Atlantic Ocean returned to calm.

The seawater even became clearer than before due to the nourishment of the ’Divine Golden Rain,’ and countless marine creatures swam joyfully in the water, teeming with vitality.

However.

Just when everyone thought the matter was settled.

”Alas...”

A sigh.

It sounded extremely abrupt in the ears of everyone across the globe.

The sound was faint and deep, carrying the vicissitudes of time spanning millennia, and... helplessness.

Su Yun looked up sharply, his gaze locked onto the center of the Atlantic Ocean.

There, the ’Pale Gate,’ which should have dissipated with the Angel’s death, was not only still present but began to vibrate violently.

”Crack, crack.”

The cracks on the door frame were repairing themselves.

A heart-palpitating, ghastly white light ignited again, even more dazzling and purer than before.

Immediately following this.

A sudden change occurred.

It wasn’t just the Atlantic Ocean.

On the permafrost of Northern Europe’s eternal night, the phantom image of the World Tree piercing heaven and earth suddenly lowered countless branches, each emitting a faint green light, pointing directly at the firmament.

Over the ruins of Mount Olympus in Greece, the purple-gold lightning was no longer violent but intertwined gently to form a massive electric net, covering half the sky.

Over the Indian Ocean, the phantom images of several giant serpents churning the Sea of Milk stopped moving; they coiled their bodies, raised their heads, and flicked their tongues, as if welcoming something.

The Amaterasu Shrine in the East, the Pyramids of Egypt, the Mayan temples of South America...

All the Mythic Resurgence Points across the globe seemed to reach a tacit understanding at this moment.

Pillars of light of various colors and different attributes shot up from these locations.

They converged at an altitude of ten thousand meters.

Light intertwined, rules collided.

Gradually fusing.

Under the gaze of billions of eyes worldwide.

A magnificent platform, too grand to be described in words, floating outside the atmosphere, slowly took shape.

It resembled an arena.

It also resembled a judgment stand.

It was surrounded by totem poles from various Mythological Systems, while the center was a chaotic void.

[Mythic Trial - Phase One Concluded.]

[Detected that the ’Dragon Summer’ civilization poses an extremely high risk of violation and resistance capability.]

[Correction Protocol Initiated: The Gods’ Arena, Opening.]

Lines of golden characters, not belonging to human script but whose meaning everyone instantly understood, were projected directly onto the sky of Blue Star.

The owner of that sigh seemed to have finally composed his emotions.

From behind the Pale Gate, a voice that could not discern gender but was filled with majesty spoke:

”Since the rules cannot erase you...”

”Then we shall proceed in the manner you understand.”

”Mortal, having seen the Divine, why do you not kneel?”

Boom!

As these words fell, a beam of golden light shot down from the massive arena floating in space, directly targeting the capital city of Dragon Summer!

That was a declaration of war.

It was the formal challenge issued by the Gods to this sole civilization that had not been conquered.
