Chapter 5 The First King
"My subordinates were enhanced with Wisdom Fruits costing 30 Federal Credits each; they are extraordinary beings with intelligence. What makes you think you can defeat me?"
Huang Ba's smug voice carried on the wind to Liang Jiu's ears.
Liang Jiu didn't look at the battlefield beneath his feet, instead focusing his divine power on the battle before him.
He had considered using his divine power to heal Xin and preserve his status as the first human king. If he could just admit defeat in time, his losses would be smaller than Huang Ba's, and he could still make Huang Ba suffer in silence.
but......
The hatred of his family and the desire for revenge were being transmitted to Liang Jiu's thoughts through their connections, and he heard the inner thoughts of that king.
"Lead us to a great victory, God."
God and His people are two inseparable, interdependent entities. How can a God whom His people believe in not believe in His people?
Liang Jiu's divine message reached Xin's mind: "My first human king, I promise you, victory will come."
He heard the divine oracle echoing in his mind.
Xin's spirits lifted, and the pain seemed to be suppressed by this casual remark.
God did not abandon him; He has always been there.
He swallowed the blood in his mouth and charged toward the troll once more.
In his dazed state, Xin saw the scene of his first hunt before his eyes: hunting an injured deer, holding a torch and following behind his tribesmen, running... Running meant food, it meant dignity, and only by running could he catch up with victory.
As he stepped over severed limbs and passed by the mangled corpse of a member of his tribe, he casually picked up a spear that had fallen to the ground.
Without slowing down, he used the momentum to twist his waist and back, and the spear flew out of his hand, heading straight for the troll's face.
Wisdom brings fear, but faith can make people brave.
The troll raised his hand to shield his eyes, but when he opened them again, the tiny figure was already right in front of him.
Xin stepped onto the raised earthen slope and leaped high into the air. Gripping the stone axe tightly in both hands, he aimed it at the troll's unsuspecting head and brought it down hard.
The axe blade got stuck in the skull.
The troll roared in pain. It thrust its head forward, its massive jaws snapping shut on Xin's left arm.
A brutal tearing.
Xin felt a sudden lightness on half of his body. His left arm had been bitten off, and the bone and blood fell into the troll's mouth.
He twisted in mid-air, and light emanated from his body.
Born into savagery, he somehow managed to grasp the basics of battle qi at this time. If he survives, he might become a true superhuman.
In mid-air, Xin swung his stone axe and slashed fiercely at the troll's exposed neck.
Blood gushed out, drenching Xin's head and face.
Its massive body swayed, then finally crashed down like a small mountain, splattering blood everywhere.
We won one.
Xin knelt on the ground, panting heavily. He pressed his right hand tightly against the severed wound on his left arm, blood still gushing out between his fingers. He felt a little dizzy.
The earth trembled again.
He looked up. The screams around him subsided; the remaining five trolls had somehow given up chasing the other humans. Dragging their heavy clubs, they walked towards him, forming a circle that completely surrounded him.
In despair...
Huang Ba's divine power completely dissipated on the battlefield.
The sky cleared, and Liang Jiu won the battle of divine power, allowing light to shine upon the earth once more.
The trolls roared in agony as they bathed in the light, struggling until petrified skin spread across their entire bodies. They became hideous stone statues.
"Thus, I hereby declare Liang Jiu the victor of this divine war," the teacher's words echoed once again in the sky above the battlefield.
An angel, acting as a third party, actually broke through the seal of the battlefield's divine realm and used healing magic on the dying human king, saving him from the brink of death.
"What a spectacular battle of the gods! I thought I would only see village brawls during battles between two gods, but reality proved me wrong. This scene should be included in the textbook. Classmates, today's assignment is to write a 4,000-word reflection on this battle of the gods."
Then the teacher on the podium looked at Liang Jiu, who had reclaimed his divine domain, and Huang Ba, who had fainted from the battle of divine power with Liang Jiu.
"Have a classmate take Huang Ba to the infirmary. As for Liang Jiu, come to my office."
......
"Did you intend to cripple Huang Ba back then?"
"How could that be? Teacher, he didn't shout to surrender," Liang Jiu argued.
"Wasn't it you who used your divine power to seal his mouth?" As a third-level god, the teacher naturally saw it clearly.
Liang Jiu shrugged and didn't answer.
At the end of the battle of divine power, when Huang Ba saw that he might lose one of his trolls, he was about to admit defeat, but Liang Jiu covered his mouth and he could only watch helplessly as all six of his trolls turned into stone statues.
Liang Jiu knew that Huang Ba had a father who was a level three god. If he didn't beat him severely and make him afraid, Huang Ba would eventually make a comeback.
In addition, Liang Jiu had promised his family a great victory.
"Alright, I also bear some responsibility for this. As for the compensation we agreed on, I'll give it to you now. Use it early to avoid affecting your later development. In addition, there's a reward for the winner."
The two cards ended up in Liang Jiu's hands.
[Post-war recovery] (Effective for populations that have experienced unnatural population decline, it can accelerate the rate of reproduction and improve the quality of offspring to some extent)
[Magic Pool] (Slightly increases the probability of magic-talented individuals being generated within the Divine Realm, provides a cultivation environment, and slightly improves the overall environment of the Divine Realm)
These are exactly what he needs, and combined with the "primitive language enlightenment" that Pan Xiaopang gave him, it should be able to help his family enter agricultural civilization in one fell swoop.
He immediately used the cards in front of the teacher.
A spring flows from the ground, and a moment of enlightenment arises in the hearts of the family.
Xin's wife applied herbs to his wounds.
Although his wounds had mostly healed thanks to the angel's healing magic and he was no longer in mortal danger, he was a restless person who wanted to go hunting with only one arm and offer sacrifices to the true god.
As a result, the wound reopened, and it took a lot of effort from the tribespeople to pull it back.
He was overjoyed to see the spring that had suddenly appeared in his territory, but when he turned around, he saw his wife clutching her pregnant belly.
Another child of hers is about to be born.
And God will always watch over them.
