Chapter 88 Zhurong vs. Gonggong!
Although the voice of the fire god Zhurong was not loud, it was very clear and spread throughout the entire land of China.
Everyone across China can clearly hear the true name of the God of Fire, Zhu Rong!
Deep within the Forbidden City!
Mr. Mo was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes.
"Excellent! Excellent! This time, China has truly risen!"
"Two SR-level gods, who in the world can stand against them?!"
In the sky not far from Kyoto!
"Baka! The Chinese have awakened another SR-level god!"
"Kinoshita-kun, we can't wait any longer! They've only just formed a contract with the god; they're not proficient yet. We still have a chance!"
Kinoshita Matsuna nodded, her eyes dark and uncertain:
"Just now, Yuan Qingsheng of China forcefully recaptured the air force island. This shows their formidable strength. We cannot fight them head-on; we must outsmart them!"
Yuma Nagaoka was taken aback by what he said, and then spoke:
"Does Kinoshita-kun mean to drag them into... the national destiny arena?"
Kinoshita Matsuna nodded, her face sinister.
"That's right, they've only just formed a contract with an SR-level god. Let's strike first while their strength is still relatively low..."
The land of China!
At this moment, the people of China were staring blankly at the live stream on their phones.
On the phone screen is Zhu Rong, the god of fire, dressed in ancient attire, wearing only animal skins!
"Another SR-rank god?"
"There aren't many countries in the world with two SR-level gods, are there? Has China finally returned from a bottom-tier country to a first-tier country?"
"The streamer is awesome! Without the streamer, we probably wouldn't even have an SS-level god, right?"
"That's right, the streamer is awesome! Without the streamer, we'd probably still be at the mercy of foreign powers!"
"Now, I'm actually standing up while I'm squatting in the outhouse! Why, you ask? Because my back is too stiff to bend down!"
"Everyone stand up and salute the anchor!"
The viewers in the live stream were all incredibly excited, and they all stood up straighter than the last.
After the fire god Zhurong finished speaking, he fell from the sky.
The first thing He did upon landing was to fix His gaze on Yuan Qingsheng.
Yuan Qingsheng's eyes were vacant.
No?
Why are you staring at me?
I'm panicking!
Yuan Qingsheng thought he had done something wrong, and he braced himself to speak.
At this moment, the fire god Zhurong said calmly:
"Old rival, aren't you going to come out and meet me?"
As soon as the fire god Zhurong finished speaking, the divine phantom of the water god Gonggong floated out of Yuan Qingsheng's body.
The water god Gonggong scoffed, "What's there to see between you and me?!"
The god of fire, Zhurong, smiled faintly:
"That war happened so long ago, and you still can't let it go? Besides, it was your fault in the first place!"
The water god Gonggong remained silent, his face cold.
The fire god Zhurong sighed softly and then said:
"We now face the same enemy; let us put aside past grievances and work together to confront it."
Upon hearing this, the water god Gonggong thought for a moment and replied, "Okay."
Then it returned to Yuan Qingsheng's body.
Listening to their conversation, Su Fan wondered what kind of enemy the fire god Zhurong was talking about.
It seems that these "enemies" have blocked all the gods of China, causing a divine gap in China.
Su Fan sighed, knowing that asking the God of Fire, Zhu Rong, wouldn't yield any useful information; all he could do was quickly increase his strength.
Once you become powerful enough, you'll naturally know what's happening.
The god of fire, Zhurong, sighed again, as if recalling the past.
"In ancient times, Suirenshi gave fire to mankind, but mankind did not know how to preserve fire."
"They often had to eat raw meat, which was very bad for their health, so I taught them how to preserve fire."
"I was thus loved by the people. The water god Gonggong was dissatisfied, so he gathered water from the five lakes and four seas and rushed it towards Kunlun Mountain, extinguishing the sacred fire on earth."
"I was so enraged that I rode a fire dragon and fought a great battle with Gonggong. The battle was so fierce that the sky darkened and the sun and moon lost their light. In the end, the water god Gonggong was defeated."
"After Gonggong was defeated, he angrily rammed Buzhou Mountain, causing the sky to tilt in the northwest and the earth to sink in the southeast. Nuwa then patched up the sky to quell the disaster."
The fire god Zhurong recounted without reservation the story of his great battle with the water god Gonggong.
After finishing, He added:
"However, that was in the distant ancient times. The water god Gonggong of today is probably not so unruly."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Judging from the scene when the Water God Gonggong was contracted by Yuan Qingsheng, the Water God Gonggong was still very kind.
The fire god Zhurong looked at Su Fan with approval in his eyes.
"You're pretty good, kid!"
"How did you know my real name?"
Like the water god Gonggong, the fire god Zhurong can still perceive the outside world even though he has not yet been awakened.
So they knew that it was actually Su Fan who had awakened Him.
He also knew that Chinese mythology was now fragmented, so he was very surprised and pleased that Su Fan was able to recognize him.
However, I am also a little curious, since He did not leave any mythological treasures about Him in China.
After listening, Su Fan calmly replied:
"I happened to obtain a treasure book that records all the gods of China, which is why I was able to recognize the God of Fire."
Upon hearing these words, Old Master Mo, deep within the Forbidden City, jumped up from his chair.
This was the first time Su Fan had revealed the reason why he knew so many gods.
If China possessed this precious book and mobilized the entire nation's resources, wouldn't high-ranking deities appear in droves?
We don't need to limit ourselves to Su Fan alone.
Old Mo grew increasingly excited as he thought about it, and he eagerly said to Xiao Huang beside him, "Bring the treasure mirror..."
Before he could finish speaking, Su Fan on the other side of the live stream screen continued:
"However, I destroyed that treasure mirror; not a single fragment remained. I did this because I was afraid it would be stolen by people from other countries."
Upon hearing this, Old Mo's expression froze, and he sat back down heavily.
He felt a little regretful, but eventually came to terms with it.
The treasure mirror is gone, but Su Fan has already memorized it, and Su Fan's heart is still with them.
Moreover, if this treasure were to be used to identify a large number of high-level deities, the various countries of Earth would probably unite to attack China before the deity appraisers even had a chance to develop their skills.
That's fine too, we only need to protect Su Fan.
Old Mo comforted himself in his heart.
What he didn't know was that Su Fan didn't have any treasure mirror. If he hadn't transmigrated, Su Fan wouldn't have known these Chinese deities.
The fire god Zhurong paused for a moment after hearing this, then seemed to be deep in thought.
He muttered to himself, "Is that so? That's quite lucky..."
Then, the fire god Zhurong looked at Ma Tao and scanned his entire body with his divine power.
"Eighth-tier strength? Not bad, but he's a bit old."
Ma Tao was speechless after hearing this, but he could only accept it.
"Alright, you're the one. There's no one else who can be contracted with."
After the fire god Zhurong finished speaking, he touched Ma Tao's forehead with his index finger.
A flame appeared in his hand, then transformed into a fiery lotus and flew towards Ma Tao.
At the same time, the two fire dragons beneath the feet of the god of fire, Zhu Rong, raised their heads and roared to the sky!
