Doomsday Code

Chapter 943 Finally, the hiding place of the god was found.

Leica looked at the expanding space in front of him; his eyes could see the various parts of the continent connected within this space.

He frowned, clenched the spatial mass again, looked up at the sky, gritted his teeth, and was about to raise his sword to cut off a section of the northern border.

The divine sword's aura soared to the heavens, illuminating the entire northern border.

As the sword fell, Shen Zhinian, who had just been spouting nonsense, cried out in utter terror.

"What are you doing? Stop! Stop it now! Do you want to destroy the world?"

Enveloped in this spatial mass, Chen Cheng saw the sword light outside through the distorted space. This was the first time he had seen the King's Sword in full power at such close range.

That's terrifying. No wonder this evil god was able to be killed back then.

The sword light fell, cleaving a deep abyss of unknown length in the far north of the northern border, transforming the original icy wasteland into a prehistoric lava field.

Just as Lyca's sword light pierced through the spatial mass, about to completely annihilate the divine thought along with a part of the Northern Territory.

His sword light suddenly stopped.

Chen Cheng, who was observing from the sidelines, couldn't help but frown.

Because it's obvious that once Lyca's sword falls, the abyss that has plagued the North for a thousand years will be gone.

Chen Cheng was certain that Lyca's sword stopped not because he lacked strength, so he turned around to look, trying to find out why Lyca had stopped.

Then he saw the many beings that had been abducted by that divine thought within this spatial mass.

The vast majority of the creatures here are human, human heroes who have just followed Lyca to overthrow the orc tyranny.

Perhaps sensing Lyca's hesitation, the god conjured a dark, shadowy figure and pointed at the unconscious humans at his feet, saying:

"Are you being soft-hearted for these ants? Why don't you keep your sword down? You could have killed me with one strike."

But Lyca wasn't going to tolerate God's mere thought. She slapped his Stand to pieces and then said in a deep voice:

"Do you really think I can't do anything to you?"

Lyca then used the King's Sword as a nail, driving it into the space.

Because of this divine sword pinning down the spatial mass, it could no longer expand outwards for a short period of time.

Chen Cheng knew that Leica must have gone to the vast desert to find the ancient Great Wall.

At this moment, Chen Cheng looked down at the unconscious crowd. He had seen the memories of the initial battle; they were all his brothers who had followed Lyca in resisting the tyranny of the orcs.

Lyca was not a bloodthirsty and tyrannical ruler, so he could not arbitrarily abandon someone based on their worth.

This is not his weakness, but his strength.

When a ruler truly measures his subjects solely by their value, then everyone becomes someone whose worth is determined by the amount of benefit they can gain, and who can be discarded.

Everything then became a series of cold mathematical calculations.

If he had done that, he wouldn't have achieved his current success.

Because if he did that, his subordinates would follow suit, and the orcs could then pay a much higher price to make his subordinates betray him.

Choosing not to give up requires him to invest more effort; he might need to spend far more than the value that ordinary people could generate in order to save some people.

However, this is what truly makes him a heroic monarch, someone everyone is willing to follow, even at the cost of their lives and the extermination of their clan.

As Chen Cheng reflected on what he had come to understand, a complex mix of emotions welled up within him. He could only conclude that Leica was a true monarch.

The subsequent memory images began to flash forward like a slideshow. Chen Cheng guessed that this must be the time when the orcs were driven out and the Great Wall was used to seal off the far north.

Looking around, Chen Cheng didn't see Ge Long. Then, thinking of her superpower-like mental strength, he realized that Leica might have asked her to help rescue the people inside.

After the memory images stabilized, countless years had passed. The person standing before Chen Cheng was the same freakish sage he knew.

Looking at the surroundings, it was clear that this had happened in the last few days, because Chen Cheng saw Noah and the others being cheered and fawned over in the city, and the clothes they were wearing were exactly the same clothes Chen Cheng had worn when he met Noah and the others earlier that day.

At this moment, the Great Sage truly acted like a wise elder, earnestly instructing Noah and the other five. Until he came before Lyfia, Chen Cheng could sense the evil thoughts arising in this perverted fellow's heart.

If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't yet seen where Shen Zhinian was hiding, Chen Cheng would have loved to punch him in the face right now, because the things this bastard was thinking were just too filthy and perverted.

After he finished teaching Noah and the others, he accompanied a middle-aged, overweight man wearing a crown to see them off as they left the city.

Chen Cheng flew up into the sky and looked around. He found that the capital city was not very big. At most, it would be a small city that could accommodate a hundred or two hundred thousand people.

Outside the city were some of the villages that Noah and the others had mentioned.

It is obvious that these people are the descendants of the human race who were captured by that god.

After Noah and his companions had traveled a considerable distance from the city, the residents who had crowded around to see them off dispersed.

At this moment, Chen Cheng discovered that the most noble person in the kingdom was not the king. In fact, apart from being a little fat, wearing a pure gold crown, and having two armored and powerful guards by his side, the king was no different from the ordinary residents.

Furthermore, this fat king was so confident in Noah and his companions' journey to slay the dragon that he even put his arm around some ordinary residents, wanting to go to the tavern for a drink to celebrate.

Only the old sage truly behaved like a nobleman, accepting the greetings of others before leaving alone.

Chen Cheng followed the Great Sage and saw the old man arrive at the central square of the capital, where a statue stood, clad in armor, holding a long sword and pointing it to the sky, its face obscured.

Chen Cheng didn't recognize the armor, but he was very familiar with the sword held by the statue, because the sword on the statue was exactly the same as the King's Sword in his own hand.

It is obvious that this statue was carved based on his ancestors. Perhaps it was carved by the ancestors who could not return to their homeland to commemorate their ancestors.

Just as Chen Cheng was thinking this, the old sage came to the statue and began to pray. Only then did Chen Cheng realize that this was actually the hiding place of that damned god Zhi Nian.

Although the old sage didn't make any strange noises, Chen Cheng, who was possessed by him, could feel something responding to him in his heart, and this thing was an extremely evil existence.

I never imagined that the ancestral statue that I once wanted to destroy would become the abode of this monster. And it is obvious that this guy is impersonating my ancestor, deceiving everyone here and demanding faith power.
