Chapter 893: The Cult Leader Builds a New Great Wall
Thinking that, a group of people began to look around, bustling as if busy.
They needed to confirm the current situations of Shui Zhongmeng and Wu Changkong, both of whom were absent, and none of the people present were really qualified to make decisions.
Shui Zhongmeng’s life-or-death status was unknown, and since Lu Ce had decided to help him, his attack had aimed to leave the other man at death’s door.
But Wu Changkong was different. When Lu Ce had acted against him, it had been casual, without the force that intended to kill.
At that moment, a breeze brushed their faces as Wu Changkong tore through space to arrive, his complexion carrying an unusual flush, clearly the state of someone wounded.
He carefully put away his skateboard, looking at "Sin" with a complex expression.
If there was anyone in this world that the Sun had treated as a long-standing imagined rival to fight against from beginning to end, it was this guy standing before him.
He never expected such a reversal—this person had suddenly become their leader.
But he did not overthink it. He clasped his hands in front of him toward "Sin" and bowed slightly.
"Since there was a misunderstanding, I apologize for earlier.""Welcome the new sect leader!"
As a modern man, he performed the gesture with surprising formality, convincingly like the real thing.
At the same time, the other Heaven and Earth Society members instantly changed expression; one after another they imitated him, clasping their fists and loudly declaring,
"Welcome the new sect leader!"
Their voices rang across the sky, just like the old chant of "the world belongs to the Heaven and Earth Society."
Nearby, Perfect Life couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
The Heaven and Earth Society really had something to it. No wonder people always branded it a cult—the minds of those inside were different from ordinary folk, an almost fanatical zeal.
A fight where people were willing to stake their lives over a fabricated reason, now with the misunderstanding cleared, their worship of strength flipped them over in an instant, without the slightest awkwardness.
This group’s fanatical faith was actually similar to those zealots who wanted to bend toward the gods, but from another angle.
"At times like this, these people seem very valuable," Perfect Life leaned toward Lu Ce and said softly.
"Should I be congratulating you on getting these followers?"
On the other side, Wu Changkong stepped forward and asked,
"Leader, now...."
"Ah, wait, wait, don’t call me that." Lu Ce quickly stopped him; he had been momentarily distracted and forgot to refuse this earlier.
"That Sun fellow shoved this kind of thing onto me without asking whether I agreed. I never said I wanted to be your leader."
"I came today originally to tell you one thing: whether you choose him to be the leader, or Shui Zhongmeng, or anyone else, that’s your business."
Wu Changkong: ?
His mouth hung open. He couldn’t immediately process the idea that "Sin" did not want to be their leader.
So all that effort earlier had been for nothing?!
He still asked the most important question first:
"You mentioned Shui Zhongmeng just now? You mean... he’s not dead?"
His manner of speaking was elaborate; he even began using the honorific "you."
"He’s different from you now." Lu Ce couldn’t explain much; those without grasp of Divine Power wouldn’t understand.
"So life and death are his own affairs. Don’t interfere, and don’t disturb him."
Wu Changkong dared not ask more. Everyone knew how brutal and capricious "Sin" could be; that he could speak so calmly now already showed remarkable patience.
If he suddenly relapsed, that would be disastrous.
Lu Ce didn’t know what the others were thinking, and he found their lack of questions convenient as he scanned the crowd gathering both inside and outside the Great Wall.
By then, the wall was already overcrowded.
At first people were scattered, but once the fight started and they learned "Sin" was here, everyone gathered toward this spot.
Watching this group staring at each other, Lu Ce’s mouth curved slightly; he spoke loudly,
"I remember when I first learned of you, you seemed to have a complete slogan."
"What was it, Rotation of Sun and Moon...?"
That phrase was the key brainwashing line spread within the Heaven and Earth Society; anyone who had joined could not be unfamiliar with it.
Perhaps only this new "sect leader" didn’t quite remember it clearly.
But there was no need for him to prompt it; once someone started, no organization was required—members on the Great Wall began in unison to recite the lines:
"Rotation of sun and moon, cycles repeat."
"God's Chosen descend, the world reunites!"
"The world belongs to the Heaven and Earth Society!"
The voices rose wave after wave. Those short phrases had an uncanny morale-boosting effect, making them look even more grand and imposing than when they had fought Lu Ce earlier.
It was like their own anthem of breaking formations.
"Heh, very good."
The mask on Lu Ce’s face shifted gradually toward purple; Perfect Life sensed it and stepped back a few paces. He felt "Sin" was about to give a speech.
"You’ve been chanting the slogan for so long; it can’t just remain words."
"Now, the God’s Chosen truly descend, and the sun and moon begin to rotate."
"Do you really believe the world belongs to you, right?"
Sin’s voice carried a potent beguiling effect, tugging at people’s inner emotions and desires.
Remember, Sin’s words were laced with some of Lust’s power, and such speech could sway even the emotions of the gods.
Under that pulse, the Heaven and Earth Society members fell silent, but their breathing had already grown heavy.
Perfect Life looked at "Sin" with some surprise—this guy claimed not to want to be leader, yet how effortlessly he played the role of a cult head.
"If you truly believe the world belongs to you, then now is the time to take back the world that belongs to you."
"I’ll leave this thing right here!"
Saying that, Lu Ce raised his right hand and slammed the golden medal heavily onto the wall of the Great Wall; after it landed, it became impossible to see any trace of it.
"In time, strange things may come here, to this Great Wall."
"They will think the world belongs to them and try to take away the world that belongs to them."
"If you think the world belongs to you, then... don’t let them take away the medal that represents your leader."
"Once they pass that test, then the true rotation of sun and moon will begin, and this world will belong to the Heaven and Earth Society!"
