Cosmic-Level Demon God-Chapter 264 - 170: Beast Horde Evolution, Furnace Heart!

Although the Dongxia Republic does not endorse the worship of deities, people always find it difficult to avoid seeking a refuge or support for their empty and fragile hearts. Besides, those four Divine Pillars do indeed exist, occasionally descending to display their great power.

With the continuous influence spanning several millennia, the names of the four pillars gradually came to be revered by an increasing number of transcendent beings embarking on their respective paths.

Particularly within the psychic path, the majority would either submit to or worship under that radiant light, resembling a stellar body, which one could not look at directly.

Thus, when Chen Ruofu revealed that Qin Shi was chosen by the four gods, Representative Zhou immediately fell silent.

He couldn’t possibly openly declare that the Divine Pillars’ judgment was erroneous or that they had chosen the wrong person.

Such a statement would be extremely dangerous, likely attracting the attention of those from the Judicial Court.

"Minister Chen, you’ve kept this hidden deeply. The candidates promoted by the Inspection Department this year are truly exceptionally gifted! Advancing swiftly and steadily along the Martial Arts path, and yet highly regarded by the four Divine Pillars."

Representative Li’s expression changed, but he quickly concealed his shock. No wonder the Nanhuang Daoist School, which stands as a pillar of the Old Martial Sect in Heng Province, would relocate from Central City to Tai’an.

There are many criteria for measuring a genius, but the most authoritative and indisputable is.

Nothing exceeds the endorsement of the Divine Pillars!

From the first Martial God Yan Haishan, followed by Ning Yuanhai, to the first generation of the top ten prodigies, almost all had been blessed by the Divine Pillars.

Every Star Cup, organized during waves of transcendent tides, usually saw at least the top twenty contestants under the observation or blessing of the four pillars of Dongxia.

The sole exception would likely be Zhang Qiang, master of the Nanhuang Daoist School, who was dubbed the background of the top ten prodigies.

It is said that he was never favored by the four pillars, causing some to instinctively question the authenticity of his Grandmaster level status.

Even before the shocking blood case where the master of Nanhuang Daoist School stepped forth and eradicated the descendant of the Yin family happened.

Claims such as Zhang Qiang only having honed his way into the honorary committee of the Martial Arts Association through experience were widespread.

Until this Grandmaster from Nanhuang, armored and armed, forcefully invaded the Yin territory, shattered the Iron Curtain defenses of Heng Province, and massacred dozens.

Only then did people truly feel the terror associated with the title "background of the top ten prodigies."

"A tree that rises above the forest must face the winds, a young man too proud and too prominent, may not necessarily be a good thing."

Chen Ruofu glanced sideways at Representative Zhou, who looked like a defeated rooster, and said with insinuation:

"If it attracts envy and jealousy from the insignificant, causing harm in secret, it wouldn’t be pleasant. I’ve heard that in recent years, several special recruits with hopes of entering the junior class at the four national universities met with accidents."

Representative Zhou’s face looked unpleasant, he snorted coldly, and left the temporary command base with big strides.

After walking a distance, his expression returned to calm as he sent a message via his wristwatch.

"Peripherical region breached, Qin Shi is chosen by the four gods, he has the potential to become a Crowned."

This short message would reach the secretary office of the Director of Education Department in a few minutes.

"The last one chosen by the four gods on the Martial Arts path was He Lanchan. Those who emulate him live, those who replicate him die. Chen Ruofu thinks he found a treasure, but little does he know, the more Qin Shi resembles He Lanchan, the easier it is to alert the upper echelons."

Representative Zhou lit a cigarette, gazing at the dense night while blowing smoke.

He couldn’t help but feel regretful; the duty of the Education Department was to cultivate talents for the nation.

In theory, a prodigy like Qin Shi, with infinite potential and boundless future, should be supported.

But unfortunately, many historical issues remain unresolved.

The past buried by history is like an unfathomable vortex, swallowing anyone who approaches or attempts to touch.

"No one in the peripheral region can withstand Qin Shi’s strength. If indeed his power reaches such heights, then we can only hope for Zhou Yuanchen’s performance."

Representative Zhou crushed the cigarette butt underfoot, letting the Fourth Battle Group discover a "second He Lanchan" emerging from Heng Province.

It wouldn’t just be a conflict between Central City and the Urban Circle, or between the Yin family and the Nanhuang Daoist School.

If the Military Department gets involved, things will become even more complicated.

...

...

The next day, when the sun rose over the Great Rift Valley, the morning light dispelled the thick mist and frost.

Qin Shi awoke from his meditative trance, opening his eyes as a spark of essence flashed through.

With his spirit transformed and telekinesis surging, his demeanor had changed greatly, as if endowed with something unique. Even standing among the masses, he seemed very conspicuous.

Like a stroke of vibrant color on a piece of hazy white paper!

"I finally understand what it means in novels when they describe someone looking ordinary yet having an extraordinary bearing."

Qin Shi continued to trek, finding a shallow creek that hadn’t dried up, where his reflection faintly showed on the water’s surface.

His eyes, like the finishing touch on a painting, made the originally somewhat immature boyish image deeper and brighter, with an indescribable majestic charm.

"The transformation of spirit actually adds charm. This I had not expected."

Qin Shi wiped his face, washing away the filth from the last night’s battle, and gnawed on some protein bars to absorb nutrients.

Having dealt with the largest outer boss, the Esotericist, he could now head straight to the lair, entering the central area.

"I’ll take another round, gather some materials, and look out for any big fish that might bite, providing some resources."

After completing his simple washing and eating, Qin Shi fully extended his spiritual perception within a hundred-meter radius to capture his prey.

The remaining warhounds, lacking the Esotericist’s manipulation, were like loose sand, perfect for him to practice his Dimension Slash.

Swish, swish, swish!

Black fissures appeared on his palm, sweeping through like a wrecking force, bringing a splash of blood.

Those thick-skinned warhounds were like paper, torn instantly by the Dimension Slash powered by telekinesis.
