Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

The figure's face was blurry, its build exceptionally burly. Black scales tightly covered its body, thick arms were entwined with azure pythons, and black dragons swam back and forth in the vast ocean beneath its feet.

Everything in the world seemed insignificant before the figure. It simply stood there, like a towering mountain piercing the clouds, insurmountable, inspiring only reverence and a desire to submit!

This was Li Chenqiu's first Divine Shadow.

The moment the Divine Shadow appeared, the world paled. Without the barrier of the protective shield, the sacred and vast aura stirred up a storm.

Everyone engaged in fierce battle on this land sensed this terrifying aura and turned their heads to look.

Lion-Face shoved aside his two opponents, his expression turning grave. He strained his voice and shouted, "The Lord has encountered a God-Chosen of the Twelve Prohibitions! The plan has failed! We retreat! Ghost-Howl, find a way to check on the situation!"

"Understood."

Ghost-Howl ceased his entanglement with He Kuo, turned, and fled towards the source of the aura.

"Did I let you leave!" He Kuo roared, quickly giving chase while shouting loudly, "Exterminate these Resurrectors with all your might! Don't let a single one escape!"

...

After Li Chenqiu's Divine Shadow descended, Luo Xuan and the others simultaneously widened their eyes, as if petrified, and stood blankly in place.

They were all too clear on what this shadow represented. But it was because they knew that they couldn't believe what they were seeing.

A Resurrector actually possessed a Divine Skill, and such a powerful one at that! Was this a joke!

"Is... is he from the Underworld?" the woman asked in a trembling voice.

Among the Resurrectors, only those from the Underworld could borrow the name of a god to summon a Divine Shadow and unleash a Divine Skill.

"The Underworld... doesn't have such a Divine Skill!"

Luo Xuan gritted his teeth and strained to push his hands forward horizontally. Golden runes shattered the waves, crashing towards Li Chenqiu like a mountain.

"Puh!"

After doing all this, he lowered his head and spat out a mouthful of blood, shouting at the two, "Quick, take me and run!"

Hearing this, the strong man directly hoisted Luo Han over his shoulder and ran backward with the woman, both unleashing their full power to survive.

At the same time, Li Chenqiu raised his arm and waved it downward. A low, suppressed roar echoed in the distance, stretching to the horizon. Waves connected to the sky surged from the sea, like an overturned world, causing despair!

"How can we run! The speed is on a completely different level!"

"You..."

Just as the three were about to fall into despair, a hideous crack was torn open in the distant sky. A beam of black light shot out from it, tearing through the oppressive air and colliding directly with the waves.

Bang!!!

The unstoppable waves shattered like a mirror. The majestic Divine Shadow dissipated with the wind, the world plunged into a violent tremor, and the raging air currents seemed about to overturn everything.

Li Chenqiu's pupils shook. Taking advantage of the air currents, he quickly fled into the distance with Li Ji.

At this moment, his heart beat at its limit, his skin stung like needles, and an icy chill ran from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head!

This was the sixth sense's warning of danger. Li Chenqiu had never experienced such an intense warning before, as if standing still for even a second would mean instant death!

"Run! Faster! Faster!" Li Chenqiu's face was twisted as he left a blurry afterimage in the air.

Li Ji rested his head on his shoulder and said weakly, "It's the Zhou family's old man. He's a Fourteenth-Order God-Chosen. You... put me down!"

"Shut up!" Li Chenqiu shouted, his eyes red.

Li Ji closed his eyes, a smile appearing on his lips. "If you can survive, can you do me a favor? Find a person named Li Chenqiu and tell him, 'I was very happy to have met him.' Thank you."

Li Chenqiu's vision blurred. He ran forward without saying a word.

After shattering the waves, the black beam of light did not disappear, nor did it continue to pursue. Instead, it stopped in the air as if broken.

"World-Creator, it's come to this. You still don't plan to compromise? You still don't plan to act?" A cold and ancient voice came from the spatial crack.

There was no response.

"Hmph, let's see how long you can endure," the voice said again.

The moment the voice fell, the black beam of light trembled slightly and shot out with a "whoosh," heading towards Li Chenqiu's back at a speed far exceeding his own.

Sensing the impending danger, Li Chenqiu instantly released the vines, pulled Li Ji into his arms, and faced the black beam with his back.

Bang!

Rumble!!!

The golden light and the deep blackness stole all the colors in the world. The ground within a hundred miles cracked to varying degrees, and hill after hill disappeared like bubbles without a trace!

"Hm?" The owner of the beam seemed somewhat puzzled.

When the storm subsided and the sunlight poured down, a scorched earth, a basin with no end in sight, slowly appeared.

In the center of the basin, Li Chenqiu's eyes were tightly closed, his cheeks twitching uncontrollably. He was still holding the same posture as a few seconds ago.

He struggled to open his heavy eyelids and lowered his head stiffly—empty.

He couldn't see anything.

Only the tattered cloth clutched in his hand and the bloody wind slapping his face proved that the person had once been in his arms.

"Boss... Boss... Boss..."

Li Chenqiu's face was blank as he constantly murmured the title "Boss." Drops of blood and tears fell like broken strings of beads, rustling in the cold wind.

He wasn't in pain, just a little dazed, or rather, a little恍惚, feeling that everything was hazy, everything had turned gray, and everything was so unreal.

How could the result be like this?

He had clearly rescued the boss from the forbidden disaster zone, clearly had Lion-Face and the others stall the people from the Security Control Division, and clearly used the Soul Weapon to escape the pursuit.

He had clearly used Chen Qianfan's power to defeat the enemy, and clearly used his Divine Skill at the critical moment. He should have won! He should have rescued the boss! He should be eating fried rice with the boss!

"Right... Right, right, right!" Li Chenqiu patted his head, a look of relief appearing on his face as he cried. "I've already rescued the boss. I won, I won, hahaha!"

He laughed loudly and wantonly, clutching Li Ji's bloodstained corner of his clothes. He stood up with trembling legs, staggering around in place like a drunkard, looking around.

"Boss, where are you hiding? Come out quickly. I still have things to do here, Boss?"
