Chapter 64: Return to the Eastern Capital
Dawn City, Council Building.
This building was the brain of the Dawn Hope organization and the most powerful place in Dawn City.
In a grand office, an old man was handling various documents. The old man had white hair but showed no signs of aging, especially his deep eyes, which were full of wisdom.
This old man was Lie Sheng, the president of Dawn Hope and the grandfather of Valkyrie Lie Yanshi.
Although Valkyrie Lie Yanshi had a high reputation in Dawn Hope, everyone knew that Lie Sheng was the soul and stabilizing force of Dawn Hope.
Under Lie Sheng's leadership, Dawn Hope steadily developed and grew, eventually reaching its current position as the dominant force in Qingjiang Province.
It could be said that it was all due to this elderly man's wisdom.
“Any responses from the other forces?” The old man asked the middle-aged man in front of him.
The middle-aged man, Rong Feng, was Lie Sheng's secretary and confidant, and almost the second-in-command of Dawn Hope.
Hearing Lie Sheng's question, Rong Feng immediately replied, “The Northern Army, Koso Group Company, and the Apocalypse Sect have all agreed to attend the conference to establish order in the southeastern region.”
“However... The Qin family's response seems rather lukewarm... they don't seem very interested.”
Upon hearing this, Lie Sheng frowned and immediately instructed, “Continue to invite people from the Qin family.”
The old man knew very well that in the southeastern region, the influence of the Qin family in the capital was immense.
It could be said that if the Qin family did not attend, any order established by the other major forces at the conference would be nothing more than empty words.
It would be useless!
Rong Feng nodded and turned to leave, going to carry out Lie Sheng's orders.
The office returned to silence, leaving only Lie Sheng alone. Lie Sheng's eyes were deep, filled with worries.
He was concerned about the future fate of humanity. Recently, the situation had been chaotic, with numerous wars breaking out between shelters, resulting in countless casualties.
Some wars were over resources like food, while others were simply due to the desire for power!
In such a situation, Lie Sheng hoped to unite the major forces in the southeastern region to establish order.
Even if this order was only superficial, it would still be much better than the current chaos! At least the endless conflicts would be reduced significantly.
In the apocalyptic era, danger lurked everywhere, zombies were evolving, and various monsters appeared.
If humanity's strength was consumed in internal strife, it would be extremely unwise...
...
Qin Jun left Donghua City, heading back to the Eastern Capital.
This trip to Donghua City had been incredibly rewarding for Qin Jun.
Not only had he obtained the corpse king's crystal core, but he had also killed a Child of Destiny, gaining a significant amount of villain points, which could be exchanged for many good things.
But most importantly, he had obtained the spoils of killing a god—the Omnipotent Seed!
In the car, Qin Jun played with the seed in his hand. He had crushed Elo's head with a single stomp.
And God had died so ignobly.
“My name is Yuan Bin, and I am eight years old!”
The children chattered away, talking non-stop. After all, children are naturally innocent and do not fully understand the concept of authority and status. To them, Qin Jun was just a very friendly big brother.
Qin Jun smiled and chatted with the children, teasing them for a while. Then the children’s parents, filled with fear, hurriedly led them back into the crowd.
The surrounding crowd seemed taken aback by Qin Jun’s approachable demeanor. Wang Zhi looked at Qin Jun’s back, feeling a complex mix of emotions.
She could hardly believe it. Not only did Qin Jun forgive the children for their rudeness, but he also smiled and chatted with them.
She could see that Qin Jun’s smile towards the children was genuine, and he interacted with them warmly.
However, just a few days ago, he could mercilessly take away the livelihoods of tens of thousands of people, causing countless families to be torn apart and lives to be ruined with a single order.
For a moment, Wang Zhi was confused and did not know which Qin Jun was the real one...
—
After this brief incident, Qin Jun did not dwell on it and soon left the city center, heading towards the northern part of Dongdu.
Here stood a black obelisk.
At the foot of the black obelisk, several advanced research facilities had been set up, dedicated to studying the profound knowledge and laws inscribed on the obelisk.
Anyone who came to the foot of this black obelisk would feel a sense of awe and grandeur.
This black obelisk was undoubtedly a gift from the heavens to humanity, with no scientific explanation for its origin. Ironically, much of humanity’s current science was learned from the black obelisks...
The research facility’s senior staff, hearing of Qin Jun’s arrival, hurriedly came out to greet him, accompanying him and explaining their research findings in hopes of gaining his favor and skyrocketing their careers.
“Have those unreadable texts been deciphered yet?” Qin Jun asked.
The senior staff members looked uneasy and quickly responded, “We have organized many symposiums with linguists, but there have been no breakthroughs.”
“Some even believe that those texts are not from our world or that they are not human language...”
Qin Jun nodded. It seemed that Elo was right; those texts were the language of the gods, the so-called Divine Codex...
Qin Jun slowly walked to the foot of the black obelisk, raising his head to closely examine this majestic structure.
The surface of the black obelisk was covered with countless engravings, recording vast amounts of knowledge and laws. On the other side of the obelisk were the mysterious texts.
These texts seemed to be randomly arranged, yet just one glance at them would evoke a profound sense of awe.
At this moment, the All-Powerful Seed in Qin Jun’s hand began to float, and the Divine Oracles on the obelisk’s back emitted a golden divine light, purifying the seed.
After a while, the divine light faded, and the Omnipotence Seed returned to Qin Jun’s hand. Qin Jun looked at the seed, his expression shifting slightly.
After being purified by the divine light, all traces of Elo’s presence in the Omnipotence Seed had completely disappeared...
A smile slowly spread across Qin Jun’s face.
He had been concerned that the Omnipotent Seed might still carry traces of Elo’s will, potentially causing issues with the warriors it created in the future.
But now, there was no need to worry. After being purified by the Divine Codex light, the Omnipotent Seed had become a pure source of primordial energy.
In other words, Elo, the god, had been entirely erased from this world, leaving no trace...
