The People's God: Sacrificing Trillions to Ascend-Chapter 419 - Forced Withdrawal

Without the Transmutation Golem and the lesser golem army, Huang Shengjun stood no chance of winning with just his goblins, especially when the gold Great Dragon, the strongest life form in the Middle Realm, fought alongside Han Wu.

Despair consumed him until Caesar stepped forward and unleashed a torrent of flame so fierce it scorched his own body. He was burning himself alive to stop Smog.

“God, please escape now! I will buy you time!” Caesar shouted as the flames around him surged higher, devouring everything nearby.

Huang Shengjun knew that Caesar couldn’t summon fire of that magnitude unless he was consuming his own life force. He didn’t know what to feel. He had recruited these goblins only to plunder treasures, yet Caesar and the others had worshiped him as their god.

To honor Caesar’s sacrifice, Huang Shengjun turned and fled as fast as he could. He had to escape Smog’s detection range at any cost.

Han Wu had no intention of letting him go. The flames Caesar unleashed at the cost of his own life force were powerful enough to make even Han Wu cautious, but he still possessed the Fire Ring. As one of the Middle Realm’s greatest treasures, it could suppress any fire-type Skill.

He thrust his hand into the raging inferno, and the Fire Ring absorbed every trace of Caesar’s flames. When the flames vanished, only Caesar’s withered body remained. He stared at Han Wu in disbelief and resentment before collapsing lifelessly.

Smog soared upward, captured Huang Shengjun in seconds, and hurled him down before Han Wu’s feet. A moment ago, Huang Shengjun had believed himself invincible. Now, he lay defeated.

“Senior Huang, it seems that I’ve won again today,” Han Wu remarked.

Huang Shengjun’s entire body trembled with rage. He had lost too many loyal units, and hatred burned so fiercely in him that he wanted nothing more than to kill Han Wu.

Han Wu exhaled softly. “I won’t provoke you any further, Senior Huang. Farewell.”

With a single swing of Ju Que, he severed Huang Shengjun’s neck. Even as his clone’s head fell, Huang Shengjun’s eyes were still filled with anger and unwillingness to accept defeat.

Both the current and former goblin kings were dead. Leaderless and surrounded by skeletons, the remaining goblins faced inevitable extinction.

Meanwhile, Akanzor and Bart completed their mission, successfully rescuing Jing Jing and Sun Qingnian.

Han Wu had not only triumphed over a powerful enemy but had also obtained a giant skeleton army. Once the last of the goblins were turned into skeletons, the undead plague would sweep across the Middle Realm.

Han Wu could hardly wait to take control of the Middle Realm’s entire southern region. Just then, a string of notifications echoed in his mind.

“Student Han Wu, the system has detected that your current strength has far exceeded the tolerance of the Middle Realm. The system will forcibly terminate your session and initiate withdrawal.” 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

“Student Han Wu, you have ten minutes to consolidate your items and exit the game.”

The two notifications astonished Han Wu. He had just acquired his strongest piece of equipment, and now they wanted to throw him out? It was too sudden!

He was on the verge of taking full control of the entire southern region when the system asked him to stop. He couldn’t accept it, so he protested, “Wait! I reject that. I want to continue the game.”

“The graduating seniors of Imperial College prepared this game as a special event to thank their juniors. Student Han Wu, you have already obtained substantial rewards. Please do not push further.”

“As compensation, Imperial College will permit you to bring all of the units under your command back to your divine realm. Do you agree?”

The notification voice was cold and mechanical, yet beneath it Han Wu could almost hear the grinding of teeth. Clearly, this concession was the greatest leniency the system could offer to preserve his gains.

Han Wu had no choice but to yield. The system was right; this was a special event, and he should let others earn their own treasures. Trying to claim every treasure for himself would only invite trouble.

As such, he nodded. “I agree.”

At that moment, a ten-minute timer appeared before him.

Time was short, so he quickly explained the situation to his companions. “I am being forced to withdraw from the game in ten minutes. My current factions are Rivertown, the Flame Demons, and the skeletons. I’ll leave the skeletons here under Jing Jing’s command and take everything else with me.

“I also have powerful God equipment that could help you. Take it and collect as many treasures as you can once I’m gone. Don’t waste my effort.”

When he finished giving instructions, only three minutes remained.

Han Wu turned to look at Smog. The Great Gold Dragon wasn’t his subject and counted as little more than an acquaintance. Once he withdrew from the game, returning here would be nearly impossible. Thus, he had only three minutes left to persuade Smog to come with him. If he succeeded, gaining another Great Dragon would strengthen his divine realm immeasurably.

“Great Smog, you must know this entire place will soon disappear into the void without the Will of the Middle Realm sustaining it. It’s not wise to remain here. Would you consider joining my divine realm?”

Smog looked at Han Wu and scoffed. The Great Dragons cherished freedom above all else, and the gold ones yearned for it most of all. He would suffocate from boredom if he joined Han Wu’s divine realm.

Smog shook his head. “No, I won’t.”

Then his eyes gleamed with curiosity. “Unless... is there anything fun to do in your divine realm?”

Sensing a chance, Han Wu began describing the rare resources within his divine realm, emphasizing the abundance of gold.

Smog rolled his eyes, unimpressed. Everything Han Wu mentioned existed in the Middle Realm. He could easily claim it himself.

Seeing his indifference, Han Wu revealed what would truly appeal to a Great Dragon. “I have many female lightning Great Dragons in my divine realm.”

Smog perked up at once. If not for his inability to fly between worlds, Smog would’ve already dragged Han Wu along to visit his divine realm and see those beautiful lightning Great Dragons for himself. Enticed by the offer, Smog officially joined his divine realm, becoming one of the strongest units in it.

Han Wu then sent a long-range voice transmission to Rivertown and the Flame Demons about the imminent transfer. They had one minute to prepare.

When the time expired, Han Wu was thrust into a gate. Two more gates appeared, one in Rivertown and another in the Flame Demons’ cave. The Flame Demons were drawn in at once, while Rivertown’s humans gathered their belongings and rode through the gate on their wagons.

Soon, Han Wu’s divine realm brimmed with newcomers, and he welcomed them warmly. Before doing anything else, he focused on arranging their living spaces to accommodate the growing population.
