As all of China wondered, Li Chonglou found his own way, connecting all living beings in China through the wondrous space.
Simultaneously, Li Chonglou's voice echoed in everyone's minds.
"It's me. Please relax and do not resist."
As soon as the words fell, everyone felt a force being drawn from them, though it seemed to have no effect on them.
In fact, this operation was not exclusive to Li Chonglou; anyone who could enter the wondrous space could do it. The reason they hadn't done it before was the lack of a suitable reason, and the gathered power had a time limit, not belonging to them forever.
But at this moment, all the peak powers could no longer afford to care about such things and acted to snatch people from Li Chonglou.
No, to be precise, they wanted to snatch the power of belief.
Li Chonglou sneered, "When China was in chaos, none of you came out to uphold justice. Now you want a share?"
Among all the peak powers, only one did not act. Instead, they voluntarily gave up their positions.
If Li Chonglou guessed correctly, that person should be the Power of the East mentioned by Old Tie.
"Thank you."
Li Chonglou expressed his gratitude. He knew that the other party was still heavily injured and could only help to the best of their ability even if they wanted to intervene. This was already the greatest help they could offer.
It was known that exiting this space meant giving up the identity of a peak power. It was something that others could not decide to do.
For a time, all the peak powers scrambled for resources in the minds of the Chinese populace. However, due to Bai Zhanfei's words and Li Chonglou being the first to act, eighty percent of the power of belief surged towards Li Chonglou's body.
The Power of Gold was instantly anxious. Even a newcomer who absorbed so much power of belief would be able to defeat him in minutes!
"No, I cannot let him fuse smoothly!"
As an old hand, he was very aware of the fusion process. During this time, any distraction could cause him to be crushed by the immense energy!
"Li Chonglou! Look who this is!"
A sinister glint flashed in the Power of Gold's eyes. Without any visible action, all the people Li Chonglou knew suddenly appeared in the wondrous space.
Including his master and his wife!
"How dare you!"
Li Chonglou's emotions were completely out of control for the first time. He even wanted to smash the Power of Gold to death with the massive amount of belief power!
At this moment, his master suddenly shouted, "Little Li, don't fall into his trap! It doesn't matter if we die, but China cannot be destroyed by this scum!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his body instantly exploded.
"Master!"
Li Chonglou's eyes instantly turned blood red.
At the same time, unbeknownst to everyone, Bai Zhanfei, who remained in the wondrous space, secretly used his own lifespan as a price to forcefully display what was happening inside in the minds of every living being in China.
They felt as if they were personally witnessing it.
The Power of Gold sneered, "Li Chonglou, this should be your wife, right? Power of belief or lover, choose one."
Li Chonglou trembled with rage, but due to the increasing power of belief, he couldn't move before refining and fusing it.
However, there was only one chance. If he chose to withdraw himself, this power of belief might become the spoils of war for the other party.
At this moment, Li Chonglou suddenly heard his beloved speak.
Only three words: I love you.
Before the Power of Gold could react, his body suddenly exploded on its own, just like Li Chonglou's master.
"Who!"
The Power of Gold was furious, but there was no one around.
"Have you forgotten that living beings entering here also have the choice of self-destruction? This is an absolutely fair place."
A peak power not allied with the Power of Gold suddenly spoke.
"Power of the North, what do you mean? Do you also want to be my enemy?"
The Power of Gold stared intently at the other party, but the latter was not afraid. Instead, he said coldly, "Power of Gold, I have long felt that something is wrong with you. I even suspect that you have been replaced."
"Li Chonglou, is it? Don't worry about fusing and refining. What's the big deal if people die? As long as this guy is killed, everything will be worth it!"
Li Chonglou's blood-red eyes were already shedding tears of blood. What truly made him suppress his emotions were An Lao and the others.
"Calm down, you must remain calm! If you act impulsively now, all will be lost!"
And Li Chonglou's adjustment was faster than they imagined. The next second, the souls heard Li Chonglou's voice.
"I don't have enough soul power to support so much belief power."
"Understood! Brothers, this is the last chance, charge together!"
With Old Lin's cry, the souls merged into Li Chonglou's sea of consciousness. Li Chonglou, who was already at his limit, instantly accelerated the absorption and refinement.
Noticing this, the Power of Gold was greatly alarmed, showing a look of terror for the first time.
"Impossible, even my soul cannot fuse with so much belief power. How did you do it!"
The Power of the North said coldly, "With your soul? Power of Gold, what is going on with you?"
"Get lost, Emperor!"
The Power of Gold's voice suddenly changed to a female voice, and at the same time, his figure appeared in the wondrous space.
The moment he saw the person, Li Chonglou's expression turned to stone.
This was his father, whom he had been searching for many years!
His father was the Power of Gold? His father was a traitor to China?
Li Chonglou couldn't accept this reality for a moment.
However, at this moment, the Power of Gold suddenly returned to his original voice, but this time his attitude changed: "Kill me, you must kill me! She wants to take all of China for herself, and she doesn't care about the lives of all beings!"
It was his father's voice! So this was not his father's true intention!
Li Chonglou's mental knot was instantly untied, and he also heard the previous female voice.
"How dare you! Does my actions need you mere ants to dictate?"
It was her, Wu Zetian!
Li Chonglou immediately recognized her identity!
No wonder she could do such a thing. A former emperor would not care about the lives of the current generation.
"Hmph, you think you can defeat me with just the power of belief? Too naive! When it comes to the power of belief, who has more than me!"
As soon as the words fell, an even more powerful aura of belief power suddenly appeared, as if it had traversed through time and space. The aura carried an ancient presence.
And the quantity was no less than what Li Chonglou had absorbed!
This is bad!
Everyone's hearts sank. They hadn't expected that the other party would have this move.
And Li Chonglou saw the crux of the problem.
It was Shi Boqiong! Shi Boqiong had been in her hands all along!
However, what could be done knowing the problem? The Power of Gold at this moment had entered a state of being untouchable. Even though Li Chonglou had fused the power of belief earlier, he couldn't get close at all.
At this moment, the Power of Gold suddenly opened his eyes with a cold smile.
"Brat, before I completely refine it, let me give you a little gift."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bodies of everyone Li Chonglou was familiar with suddenly exploded. The speed was so fast that even Li Chonglou couldn't stop them.
"No!"
Li Chonglou cried out in grief and charged towards the Power of Gold like a madman.
The Power of Heaven, the Divine Thunder Source, the Vein Potential, he used everything he could. But the opponent seemed to have hidden in another space, and all of Li Chonglou's attacks missed.
"Hahaha, when this Emperor finishes refining the power of belief, I will send all of you disobedient ones to reincarnation one by one. At that time, China will only belong to me!"
"You wish!"
Li Chonglou's father, Li Fu's voice, suddenly rang out.
"Son, your old man has been waiting for this day! I've already taken over the body, hurry and kill me!"
"Dad!"
"Are you trying to get beaten, you brat! Hurry up, I can't hold on much longer!"
Two lines of hot tears flowed down Li Chonglou's cheeks, but he had no other choice. He could only do as his father said.
The Power of Heaven, the Divine Thunder Source, and the Vein Potential, the three powers merged into one and directly struck the Power of Gold.
Only at the moment of impact did the other party regain control of his body.
"No!"
The Power of Gold only had time for despair to flash in his eyes before being engulfed by several beams of light.
The next second, all living beings in China lost consciousness.
Only Li Chonglou remained conscious in the entire world.
Looking at the Chinese land in the aftermath of the battle, looking at the sleeping living beings, Li Chonglou, who had clearly won, felt no joy at all.
"I'm all alone now."
In the desolate space, even the other peak powers had lost consciousness, only he remained.
At this moment, a stone suddenly fell from the sky. Li Chonglou instinctively reached out and caught it.
It was Shi Boqiong.
"What's the point of living alone? I'd rather go through reincarnation with them."
As he muttered, Li Chonglou's gaze suddenly stopped on Shi Boqiong.
This thing, doesn't it have the ability to travel through time?
"That's right! I can travel through time again! As long as I have enough time, I'm not afraid of not growing!"
Li Chonglou suddenly smiled, a hearty laugh.
Last time, he had traveled through time passively, so he could only appear at random points in time.
But this time, having become the strongest being, he could choose the time point himself!
"Then, let's go back to before Dad and Master went to Kun Ling."
Grinning, Li Chonglou dripped his vital blood onto Shi Boqiong.
"I'm back again."
(The End)
