Otherworldly Desert Dust-Chapter 377 - 332: We Do Not Worship the Martial God
Martial Gods possessed great Divine Sense, and when they inspected the mortal realm, they certainly noticed another group of people among their citizens...
Their actions and manners seemed normal, but were in fact extremely bizarre.
Their ideology appeared to be in line with others, but was actually twisted beyond belief.
They were like a group of cockroaches living under dark, rotting wood, multiplying from one to many, from many to a nest, capable of rapidly corroding a large area in a very short time, even establishing a stubborn hold within the flourishing and ancient Martial Artist City!
As Martial Gods, they must pay attention to the hidden dangers of the entire continent, no Martial God would tolerate such a life form with corrosive and infectious nature to run amok on their lands and city-states, they must be eradicated!
"We at the Martial God Institute can acknowledge you, in the future you will surely become an important member of ours, and even the entire True Martial Continent must look up to your Martial God name, but on this matter alone, you must explain to the entire Martial God Institute and all citizens, as long as you eliminate those threats that come from the Otherworldly parasitic lifeforms, you will be an eternal star above the Sky Dome, if not, how can we tolerate someone like you who colludes with an Alien Race?" Burning Cloud Martial God said.
This lofty Martial God had given a clear directive.
To wash away the guilt, to become an upright member of the Martial God Alliance, one must dissociate from Nuwa God End’s people, and even more, represent the Martial Gods of the True Martial Continent to completely annihilate them!
Burning Cloud Martial God had issued such an order to Jiang Qi.
Similarly, Ruan Muhuan, who had taken over the position of Rotating Martial God from Jiang Qi, also needed to follow the instructions of the Martial God Institute, to infiltrate Nuwa God End, and kill all those life forms more terrible than the Demon Clan.
"Indeed, you and I are equals, but all Martial Gods must abide by the covenant of Martial Gods, as an inspector, I also have the right to monitor your fulfillment of Martial God duties!" Burning Cloud Martial God continued.
With these words, the people from the East Bright Alliance and Lu Yun Commerce began to back away, they could clearly hear the instructions Burning Cloud Martial God had given to Ruan Muhuan.
In fact, many people knew that the reason they, the Awakeners, were known as those possessed by evil was the will of the Martial God Alliance, and all subjects must comply.
Yes, Ruan Muhuan had become a Martial God, she truly had the power of life and death over the entire Martial Artist City, but Martial Gods must also abide by the covenant of Martial Gods.
That is to say, once their identities were exposed, especially noticed by a powerful Martial God, they would have no place to stand in the True Martial World!
Suddenly, many people realized why, just before arriving at the True Martial Continent, virtual equipment was sold, named the Visitor Edition.
This place really wasn’t fit for human habitation, those who insisted on staying were doomed to pay a heavy price!
But honestly...
They had invested their hearts and real feelings here, built their own Jianghu, and even had their own friends and relatives, to leave now under the name "a bunch of cockroaches" was something they truly couldn’t accept!
Even if you are a Martial God, you have no right to judge their dignified lives like this.
"Then let’s fight it out with this Martial God!"
"Yes, I’d rather die standing!!"
"Isn’t it just a lifeform that has evolved a bit more, presenting itself so high and lofty."
"Brothers and sisters, we must not be cowardly."
The crowd that had been retreating slowly gathered again and slowly advanced toward the Wuting.
They wore armor and wielded weapons, True Qi circulated inside and outside their bodies, and although they faced the supreme Martial Gods, there wasn’t much fear in their eyes!
Such a scene shocked the other martial artists of the court.
Were these people crazy?
Who were they wielding their weapons at?

They were facing a veteran Martial God!
Compared to a novice Rotating Martial God like Jiang Qi, Burning Cloud Martial God’s renown had long spread throughout the entire True Martial Super Continent, Ruan Muhuan, no matter how powerful or talented in martial arts, could not possibly be a match for this Burning Cloud Martial God.
"Ha ha ha ha, look, look, see for yourself, what’s wrong with what I said, today they are holding weapons towards the martial court, towards the Rotating Martial God, tomorrow, wouldn’t these creatures bite you and me, biting the whole Martial God Alliance, don’t be deceived by their human skins, they are no different from those bold and uneducated Demon Clan!" Burning Cloud Martial God pointed at the rebellious crowd and laughed loudly.
His laughter was mixed with a hint of anger and a few notes of mockery!
Utterly presumptuous, like a bunch of cockroaches crawling about freely in the sunlight, even crawling over the dinner plate in front of the house’s owner, really thinking that the owner of the house couldn’t do anything about them??

"Stop being so sanctimonious!" At this moment, Wu Hen spoke up.
His voice was strong and forceful, causing the laughter of the Martial God to stop abruptly.
"In fact, we have no difference with the citizens of this continent, if you insist on a difference, it’s merely that we have never accepted the oppression of you so-called Martial Gods, the faith of us people is not towards you lofty Martial Gods, that’s all!"
No belief in Martial Gods.
That was the difference.
There was good and evil, fickle and loyal, scheming and reckless...
In this True Martial World, after experiencing various hardships, they had formed one warm and cool little Jianghu after another, people hesitated before uprising, wasn’t it because they had already grown attached to this land.
Thinking back to when everyone first entered this True Martial World, the death ratio was extremely high, which actually indicated to a certain extent that the people living in Nuwa God End were inherently kind and civilized, unable to adapt to the danger of the True Martial World, unwilling to accept the strict hierarchy here, the unquestioning obedience to power, people in the feudal era could not kill at will, taking the lives of servants required a proper reason, but here, a slight disobedience meant heads rolling!
Such a cruel system continued even in the Martial God Realm.
From Ruan Muhuan, it was abundantly clear.
In fact, Ruan Muhuan had long understood this principle, so she had no expectations for the Martial God Realm.
"To disrespect Martial Gods is the greatest sin. How could you uneducated alien races understand!" Burning Cloud Martial God spat out this sentence.
"Then answer me one question. Are there more citizens who die at the hands of the Demon Clan in this city every year, or more who die under the divine punishment meted out by the likes of you?" Wu Hen said.
This statement seemed calm, but it was, in reality, filled with power.
With just one sentence, a tidal wave was raised throughout Martial Artist City, forcing even the original inhabitants to deeply contemplate this issue!
There were no few cities slaughtered each year for defying authority.
Fates like that of Ya City were all too common across the True Martial Continent.
From the bottom to the top, the pattern was the same!
Anyone who could not endure oppression and took up arms was guilty of defiance.
Anyone who sought refuge in the mountains, wishing for a reclusive life, was considered fraternizing with the Demon Clan.
Anyone who successfully rose through the ranks and was finally free from oppression would surely face even higher echelons of society that trampled on their dignity and deprived them of life in ways that seemed more sophisticated but were essentially the same.
"To be honest, we do not need to be pessimistic. Along our journey, our souls have been noble amidst the Otherworldly Dust. What we lack is merely strength because only with power above that civilization will they be willing to listen to reason," Wu Hen, as the leader of humanity, appropriately soothed his compatriots’ emotions.
"Lord Wu Hen is right!"
"Yes, we may be weak, but that doesn’t mean we are filthy and worthless!"
"Our homeland is better after all, even if a man as wise and valiant as Lord Wu Hen dared to steal my girlfriend, I’d still give him a piece of my mind. Here, if a VIP fancies your woman, you even have to kneel and offer her to them, smiling all the while."
"Brother, can you not mention your embarrassing affairs on such a serious occasion?"
"I am just making a comparison. How could a real man like me do such a thing?"
Wu Hen was also impressed by his compatriots’ mentality.
The Martial God stood before them, a slap from whom could kill thousands, and yet they still ran their mouths, their confidence undoubtedly buoyed by contemporary culture and virtual technology.
"You are even beneath the Demon Clan, so what right do you have to debate with me!" Burning Cloud Martial God’s voice suddenly boomed like a great bell, ringing in the ears of everyone in Martial Artist City.
His thunderous voice forced millions of citizens to cover their ears, unable to continue pondering the question Wu Hen had just raised.
"Look at you, pressuring others when you cannot win an argument. When spoken to with civility, you resort to brute force. Who then is truly uneducated?" Wu Hen also openly rebuked.
"Ruan Muhuan!" Burning Cloud Martial God ceased listening to Wu Hen’s misleading rhetoric and fixed his gaze on the newly promoted Valkyrie, saying coldly, "Have you really thought this through?"
Ruan Muhuan did not answer.
But the eyes of all the citizens of Martial Artist City, as well as the people of Nuwa God End, were intently focused on her.
Her choice was of monumental significance.
She represented both the people of the True Martial Continent and the hopes of those from the Nuwa God End.
To be honest, her compatriots were very worried, fearful that Ruan Muhuan, like Jiang Qi, would crush the heart of her beloved, as they all faced the deeply entrenched ideology of the True Martial Continent—a powerful and frightening set of different rules that was incredibly difficult to break.
No one didn’t yearn to be the most brilliant light beneath the Heavenly Dome, an eternal and powerful being in this universe.
Ruan Muhuan had already stepped into this threshold, needing only to pass the last test to become a true god of Desert Dust, no longer subject to those terrifying laws, able to create her own.
So even if Ruan Muhuan did wield her sword on the day she became a Valkyrie and cut down Wu Hen, people would not be surprised, for that was the human law that most could not escape.
"If you do not kill, you will become an enemy to the entire Martial God Alliance, facing the joint crusade of eighteen Martial Gods. How long do you think you can survive?" Burning Cloud Martial God pressured Ruan Muhuan again, forcing her to make this cruel choice.
Ruan Muhuan gazed at the ferocious Burning Cloud Martial God.
Then she glanced at Wu Hen, who seemed a bit nervous...
Suddenly, she let out a light laugh.
So, nothing had changed after all.
Just like when she faced Mrs. Zeng, whether she broke through earlier or later, her ultimate fate would not change.
And now, having become a Martial God, she had broken through while the people she cared about were still alive.
She had become a Martial God.
But the dilemma she faced had never changed!
In an instant, Ruan Muhuan realized, it was her own naivety that had prevented her from seeing the full picture of the world...
Her enemies, or rather, the axe hanging over her heart of freedom, were never Mrs. Zeng, nor were they Jiang Qi, but the cold, overcast skies that shrouded the entire True Martial Super Continent. They represented the Martial God faith that all beings on this land dare not transgress!
