Chapter 1198: Chapter 1198: Internal and External Threats!

As Ye Qiu continued to delve into the memories in Pom’s mind, he suddenly saw a ball of light within.

A dazzling white light, suspended in the mind.

Ye Qiu’s spiritual power did not approach, because he sensed that this ball of light was not to be trifled with.

“Could this be the source of his power?” Ye Qiu wondered. Just at that moment, the ball of light moved, heading straight for him.

“Do you think I’m afraid of you?” Ye Qiu snorted coldly and collided directly with the light. Instantly, he clashed with the white ball, consuming a significant amount of his spiritual power, while the ball of light also lost some of its luster, dimming a bit.

Clearly, this was not Pom’s own method, otherwise, with just this light ball, Pom’s power would be enough to sweep away all opponents instantly.

Of course, Ye Qiu was an exception because his spiritual power was not inferior to Pom’s, but even stronger.

“Who are you?”

The white ball of light emitted a consciousness that came over, which made Ye Qiu pause. What exactly was this light ball, and how could it possess consciousness?

Gradually, in front of Ye Qiu, a figure appeared within the white light. It was a man dressed in white robes, with an air of supremacy, gazing down at Ye Qiu.

“Why don’t you kneel when you see God?” the man spoke.

God?

Ye Qiu frowned. This man actually claimed to be God. Ye Qiu replied, “I’m sorry, I don’t believe in God. Whether you are or not has nothing to do with me, so there’s no need for me to kneel to you.”

Ye Qiu, a Chinese man, has never believed in Western deities, not even the so-called God, which he always laughs off.

“Commoner, I created this world. I said there would be light, and then there was light, a sun, a moon. I said darkness, and then there was day, there was night in this world.”

“With such divine skills, how can you not worship me? Am I not worthy of your worship?”

Ye Qiu replied lightly, “Even bragging should have limits. Do your parents know you’re bragging like this?”

“Insolent!”

The man was instantly enraged, “Insulting God, you shall face God’s punishment.”

With that, the man pointed at Ye Qiu, and a spot of light quickly entwined towards him. Ye Qiu used his spiritual power to perform the Flood Dragon Devil Fist, directly engaging the man within Pom’s mind.

Boom!

Pom’s mind had become a battleground, the spiritual consciousness shattered by their attacks. It was no surprise that after the battle was over, if Pom wasn’t dead, he would at least become an idiot, as his spiritual consciousness was in chaos, no longer possessing normal thinking.

Whoosh.

Ye Qiu’s spiritual power retreated from Pom’s mind. His body swayed, and Jin Shanshun quickly supported him, anxiously saying, “Young Master…”

Ye Qiu shook his head, “I’m fine.” However, his face was a little pale.

Was that man who claimed to be God really the God of the West?

Ye Qiu frowned. He had just fought with the opponent in Pom’s consciousness. Although victory ultimately belonged to him, Ye Qiu knew the reason for his victory was that he could continuously supply spiritual power for the fight, but the opponent could not. That ball of white light had only a fixed amount of energy, which once exhausted, would be gone.

Ye Qiu used his advantage of proximity to his physical body to defeat the opponent, so he was not too complacent. On the contrary, he paid serious attention to that man.

If the opponent truly was a Western deity, Ye Qiu would need to take it very seriously.

What does it mean for God to appear?

In an instant, Ye Qiu had thousands of thoughts, considering many things.

“Qin Feng, do you know about Western deities? Like God?” Ye Qiu suddenly asked Qin Feng, hoping to learn something about God from him.

Western deities?

Bringing up this topic, Qin Feng’s face also showed a bit of caution, replying, “Western deities, in fact, are much like ours in the East. They’re merely powerful humans mythologized by their peoples. However, speaking of Western powers, they are indeed not weak, especially since they have their own systems, different from ours in the East. They excel in prophecy, magic, and summoning techniques.”

“Western martial artists know prophecy? Magic?” Ye Qiu was stunned. To be honest, apart from Pom, Ye Qiu hadn’t encountered any other formidable Western martial artists.

“The divination is a strength of Western martial artists, but very few can do it. Moreover, those with the ability for prophecy are not very powerful themselves, being merely ordinary people.”

“As for magic, it is similar to the rule power we utilize, but they stimulate and utilize it in another way. They even gave this rule power a name, known as elements.”

“As for the summoning technique, it’s quite special. It involves using secret techniques to summon powerful entities to aid in battles against enemies.”

Qin Feng gave a simple explanation of the Western martial artists’ skills, which made Ye Qiu curious for the first time.

“Why aren’t such powerful figures seen in the West now?” Ye Qiu asked. From his several travels in the Western world, he had not encountered such powerful figures and could not detect any traces of them.

Qin Feng chuckled softly and said, “The reason why it’s hard to see such strong Western figures now is that they were terrorized and annihilated by us back then.”

Ye Qiu and Jin Shanshun were both taken aback. Did a great war between the East and West occur back then?

Then, Qin Feng recounted a war that swept across Earth a millennium ago.

At that time, to find the treasure of the Star River Overlord, Ge Tian, not only alien powers were searching, but Western martial artists were also scheming.

However, at the time the Western strongmen did not dare to oppose the alien forces, so they remained dormant without taking action.

Until Ge Tian’s treasure exploded with supreme power, the Western powerhouses suddenly made a move, launching a surprise attack.

This enraged the alien martial artists, who engaged in relentless battles with the Western powerhouses.

That war saw numerous Western strongmen fall, and the alien martial artists sustained heavy injuries. Additionally, Ge Tian’s treasure swept across the Earth, delivering a fatal blow to the alien martial artists, leading to their ultimate fall, while the Western powerhouses retreated and went into seclusion, not emerging for thousands of years, recuperating.

“So, God is one of the surviving strongmen from back then?” Ye Qiu frowned and said.

“That’s right. Although I’ve never heard of this name, from the young master’s description, this person must be one of the survivors from back then, unexpectedly appearing now,” Qin Feng stated.

Suddenly, Ye Qiu’s words took a turn, as he realized an issue and seriously asked Qin Feng, “Do you think his appearance might be related to Ge Tian’s treasure about to resurface?”

Qin Feng was silent for a moment and eventually deemed this possibility plausible.

Ye Qiu’s face turned grave. If this is the case, then the situation for China will be even more precarious. Not only facing external threats, but it seems there are also internal troubles.

Besides those alien powers and sealers, there are also Western powers, not completely destroyed, lurking somewhere on Earth, recuperating, and now eyeing a resurgence.

Such numerous opponents, what will be the future of China, and what will be the future of Earth?

Ye Qiu could not imagine.
