Godslayer: Agent of the Gods, the Stabilizing Force at the Start

In the early hours of the morning, the streets were shrouded in tranquility, with only one or two dim streetlights occasionally illuminating the empty road like guardians of the night.

Most shops had their shutters down or had hung up "Closed" signs, making the place appear particularly deserted and quiet.

Su Ming parked his car in front of the tavern and walked towards the tavern, which had been cordoned off by the police.

The bar was bathed in moonlight streaming through the windows late at night. The interior was not large, but the decor was quite exquisite, combining a retro style with a neon atmosphere. It was a popular spot for taking photos on this street at night.

This should be the noisiest time, but it's completely silent.

Su Ming crossed the yellow cordon and walked straight into the tavern.

Pushing open the slightly worn wooden door of the tavern, a chilling aura instantly rushed out, as if crossing the boundaries of time and space and stepping into a completely unfamiliar realm.

Under the dim moonlight, the scene inside the tavern became eerily strange; the air seemed to freeze, and even breathing became heavy.

Su Ming's footsteps echoed in the empty tavern. The surroundings were so quiet that only his own heartbeat could be heard, along with the occasional low murmur coming from some unseen corner.

Suddenly, several eerie blue lights flickered deep within the tavern, appearing and disappearing like will-o'-the-wisps. Then, those mysterious creatures silently emerged, each with a different shape, some resembling humans but not quite.

Their eyes were like two cold stars in an abyss; when they met, one felt a shock to their spirit.

In that heavy and distorted atmosphere, Su Ming gripped the golden cudgel tightly in his hand.

With a loud "bang," the golden cudgel, like the first ray of sunlight at dawn, pierced through the darkness, instantly sending the creature flying. It transformed into a black shadow and disappeared into a corner of the tavern.

Immediately afterwards, Su Ming turned around, and his golden cudgel drew a golden arc in the air, striking another mysterious creature hard. The creature let out a shrill wail and then turned into a wisp of green smoke, disappearing without a trace.

The remaining creatures seemed to realize Su Ming's power, but instead of retreating, they pounced even more ferociously.

In just three or four moves, they all fell under the golden cudgel, turning into mysterious energy that entered Su Ming's body.

Originally afraid of alerting the enemy, Su Ming also opened his sharp eyes and began to search for the boss's figure.

Looking around, I found nothing.

Su Ming's face did not show the joy of eliminating the mystery. Instead, his brows were furrowed and his expression was more serious than ever before. The plot seemed to have quietly changed. What exactly were these mysteries hiding in the tavern for?

Just as Su Ming was pondering what to do, a serene figure slowly entered his field of vision. It was a Taoist priest dressed in a Taoist robe, with an air of otherworldly grace.

Su Ming's gaze fell on the Taoist priest who had just entered the tavern. Although the Taoist priest was dressed simply, his extraordinary and refined temperament was hard to conceal. Every step he took seemed to resonate with heaven and earth, revealing an indescribable majesty and profundity.

Upon seeing his face, Su Ming quickly put away his golden cudgel, bowed respectfully, and said with a hint of awe, "The Heavenly Venerable has descended. This junior has failed to greet you properly. I hope the senior will not take offense."

Yuanshi Tianzun smiled slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "Young friend, there's no need for such formalities. I have come here for two purposes."

Firstly, I noticed that you released Sun Wukong's Divine Ruins during the battle just now, which is no small matter. Sun Wukong's Divine Ruins are extraordinary, and it is truly your destiny to form a connection with them.

Moreover, I had already foreseen that a great calamity was about to befall the Cangnan region, so I came here specifically to investigate.

And I've come here to tell you something.

Some things are destined to remain unchanged, and the consequences of forcibly changing them are beyond your control.

Su Ming naturally knew that he was referring to that matter, but he also did not expect that the Chinese gods would come to find him in person, let alone the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

Yuanshi Tianzun was waiting for Su Ming's response and observing him closely. The close observation made his calm heart suddenly a little surprised.

Su Ming seemed to transcend the Three Realms and the Five Elements, as if the soul within him was not of this world, and even possessed some insight into the future.

He had initially suspected that someone was interfering with cause and effect, but at first he thought it was just a minor hindrance to cause and effect, nothing serious. However, the influence of this hindrance grew larger and larger, so he had no choice but to come over.

I never expected his identity to be so unusual.

The Primordial Celestial Lord continued, "This time, the tavern owner started killing people a long time ago, and the sacrificial ritual has also changed. The time for the sacrifice is set for tomorrow morning."

"Heavenly Venerable One, do you have any more detailed information?" Su Ming asked.

"No, I can only speculate on the details," Yuanshi Tianzun shook his head.

"And what's the second thing?"

The voice of the Primordial Celestial Venerable was deep and powerful as he continued to reveal his purpose to Su Ming: "Secondly, I know that you possess the Nine Provinces Cauldron, a divine artifact, within your body. This is the foundation of the Great Xia Dynasty and an important medium for our Taoism to protect all living beings."

Although the gods of Great Xia have gradually regained their power, they are not yet able to directly appear in the world due to various reasons. However, we must announce to the outer gods of all realms that the gods of Great Xia have returned.

Su Ming's pupils contracted. Was this battle of gods really going to be this big?

"Is the Celestial Venerable so high-profile?" Su Ming exclaimed in surprise.

"My intention is to use your help, young friend, to demonstrate the might of the Great Xia in the upcoming divine war in Cangnan. In this way, we can not only protect this land from disaster, but also show the majesty of the gods of the Great Xia, letting the outside world know that the glory of the Great Xia has never faded."

At this point, Yuanshi Tianzun's gaze became exceptionally solemn. He slowly extended his right hand, palm facing upward, and a dazzling light emanated from his palm. It was the power of the Heavenly Court's origin, pure and vast, as if containing the mysteries and power of the entire Heavenly Court.

"Young friend, this is a gift from me—a wisp of the Heavenly Court's essence. It can not only help you improve your cultivation, but more importantly, it can resonate with the Nine Provinces Cauldron within your body, awakening the dormant power of the Great Xia gods within the cauldron."

At that time, you will not need to expend your own power; relying solely on this Heavenly Court essence, you will be able to unleash the divine power of the Great Xia gods within the Nine Provinces Cauldron, allowing their figures to reappear in the world and shake all the heavens and myriad realms.

After accepting the gift from Yuanshi Tianzun, Su Ming bid farewell to him.

Although the Heavenly Venerable said it was impossible to change, as the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's representative, if he just gave up so easily, would he still be himself?

If we don't resist, who knows if we can actually succeed?

As Yuanshi Tianzun watched Su Ming's departing figure, he knew that Su Ming had not given up. He softly praised, "Young friend, your heart is as firm as a rock. Our choice will surely be made even more brilliant because of you."
