Return of the Ancient Gods

"Little brother, you are not from here, don't think my words are harsh, but this is the truth." The drunkard took a big sip and burped. The strong smell of alcohol hit his nose.

"Beiyan is a great evil to the world. They have brought this fate upon themselves."

"I have traveled all over the world and passed by here, but I know very little. I hope you can give me some advice, big brother." Chu Nan smiled brightly, invited the other party to sit down, and clinked their glasses.

“Three years ago, in order to seek revenge, Beiyan colluded with a rebel from Nanchu, a little devil named Chu Xiu, to kill 15 Nanchu soldiers and prepared to invade the capital of Nanchu. Later, the plan was shattered and Nanchu wiped out nearly 30 soldiers.

Not long after Chu Nan, the son of the Demon Suppression King, was thrown into the Death Canyon, the Demon Suppression King sent 10 demon-suppression troops northward, killing millions of people. Beiyan had to give up all its territories in the God Forbidden Land..."

"The demon-suppressing army has been dispatched?!" Chu Nan was shocked.

He had not seen the strength of the Demon-Suppressing Army, but his strength was evident from its record of killing millions of people.

"Well, the reputation of the Demon Suppression Army has always been circulated among our major countries, but no one is sure of its true strength. When it came out, it really shocked everyone. It was so murderous that it shocked the world and made the gods and ghosts weep.

Demons are completely weapons of slaughter born for war. "When the drunkard was told this, he was somewhat sobered up. Although he had only heard about it and had not seen it with his own eyes,

“Northern Yan used to be the strongest in this area, but has declined. After several major battles, its strength was severely weakened by the rising Southern Chu.

Since you are hurt by the beating, why not just be honest and behave yourself? You have to take the initiative to provoke me. Now you are being retaliated, right? Don’t you think so, little brother?”

"What about the current situation?" Chu Nan asked with concern. He believed that with the elders and others around, Nan Chu would be able to hold on, but he was still concerned about his father's current situation, especially his condition.

“After the battle at Luofengpo, Beiyan got a large number of Divine Fire Realm experts from somewhere, surrounded the Death Canyon, and blocked the passage to Nanchu, fearing that Chu Nan was not dead and escaped back to Nanchu.

The demon-suppressing army has not taken any action since it was ordered to kill millions of people, and the two sides have been confronting each other at the border. "I was also puzzled by Chu Nan's big reaction, but the drunkard didn't think much about it and said sarcastically:

"Since you did such a despicable thing in the first place, you should bear the consequences alone, but now several neighboring countries are suffering together. Damn Beiyan..."

Because of Northern Yan’s reckless behavior, the situation in this area is now extremely tense. People are preparing for war and seeing enemies everywhere.

The five northwestern countries were on high alert, fearing that Northern Yan might have designs on them and turn its spearhead against them unexpectedly, so they had to deploy troops on the border and be on high alert.

Traffic in this area is now paralyzed and people are complaining.

"What about the Demon Suppressing King? I heard that his condition is very bad. Beiyan has mobilized so many powerful Divine Fire Realm warriors this time. Don't you want to kill him?" Chu Nan asked curiously. He had heard Beiyan's Crown Prince Ye Renjie say that Beiyan's situation was unusual before, and today he saw it for himself.

Not to mention how vast the Death Canyon is, just sending a strong man in the Divine Fire Realm to blockade the northern border of Nanchu is a big deal.

"So what if you're in the Divine Fire Realm? Your strength will be suppressed and you could end up dying with hatred if you're not careful. Who would want to do that?" The drunkard retorted disapprovingly.

Although there is only a fine line between the virtual god realm and the true god realm, the strength is worlds apart. Once the divine fire is ignited, the strength will have a qualitative leap.

Is it true that the forbidden land of the gods cannot ignite the divine fire and unleash a power beyond the realm of virtual god?

Although Chu Nan had been instilled with this concept since he was a child, it was not entirely true in his memory:

I vaguely remember that my father seemed to be able to ignite the divine fire, but I can't remember clearly. Maybe that person was not my father, but someone else.

With a similar personality and easy-going and approachable personality, Chu Nan quickly became friends with this unknown drunkard. They drank happily, chatted, and had a great time.

"People from Northern Yan are making trouble in this area, and they are offering rewards in the form of three incentives in total." The store owner interrupted.

Hearing this, Chu Nan became interested, rubbed his hands, and said with a smile:

"Let me guess, is the first one to go down to the Death Canyon to pick up Chu Nan's body?"

"No, it's just ranked second." The store owner shook her head slightly and said bluntly:

"The first one is the bounty for the head of the Demon King. Although Beiyan is worried about Chu Nan, whose life or death is uncertain, it is more afraid of the Demon King. It once sent a small team of Divine Fire Realm strongmen deep into the Hundred Thousand Mountains to ambush and kill him, but failed. All the heads were thrown out like garbage..."

After hearing this result, Chu Nan finally put his mind at ease.

“But this situation won’t last too long. Recently, rare treasures have appeared in this area, and Beiyan will definitely compete for them. By then, it will be too late to spare the manpower…” the store owner added.

While the three were chatting happily, dozens of True God Realm warriors walked into the tavern, wearing uniform white Taoist robes embroidered with the totem of Beiyan and a large black and red bear. It seemed that they were taking turns to rest.

Seeing that they were only at the first or second level of the True God Realm, Chu Nan was very curious and asked the store owner in a low voice:

"It's very strange. Beiyan only sent True God Realm to surround the Death Canyon? If by some chance Chu Nan didn't die, with his talent, the True God Realm would be able to suppress him. Aren't they afraid of failure?"

"No, Beiyan did send a god here, but later a mysterious person came and slaughtered Beiyan's powerful people above the God Realm. The other party left a message, saying that those below the True God Realm could be spared, and the rest would be killed.

Beiyan refused to believe in evil and even sent out a master-level warrior, but it was useless and he still couldn't do anything to the other party. Beiyan reluctantly agreed. Anyway, it was just a job of guarding the door. No one believed that Chu Nan could walk out of the Death Canyon alive. "The shopkeeper explained, but he didn't show any fear of Beiyan's people.

"The True God Realm is considered a powerful force for Beiyan, and any loss is heartbreaking. Moreover, more than 20 years ago, Beiyan was killed by the Demon Suppression King, and there is a serious gap in talent."

Chu Nan's heart skipped a beat, and he realized who the mysterious person the store owner's sister was talking about was. Ever since he learned the origin of the Taichu Mingjing, he always had a feeling that someone was holding him in the palm of his hand and plotting against him.

"Shopkeeper, please bring out the good wine!" said a scarred man in the Beiyan team impatiently.

"Sorry, we have sold out all the wine in the store today." The shopkeeper smiled apologetically, then lowered his head to busy himself with his own things, not afraid of the ferocious man in front of him.

The scarred man wanted to get angry, but after taking a look at the shop owner, he suppressed his anger and turned to look at the wine jar in front of Chu Nan. He questioned angrily, and the scar on his face closed up.

"So what is this kid drinking now, water?"
