The People's God: Sacrificing Trillions to Ascend-Chapter 424 - Invasion

When Han Wu hung up on him again, Huang Shengjun was furious. This wasn’t their first conflict. In the beginning, Huang Shengjun had the upper hand and could easily defeat Han Wu, but as time passed, that edge slipped away. It was only a matter of time before Han Wu grew stronger and surpassed him.

Huang Shengjun considered his options and made a decision. He would reveal to the Gods, Major Gods, and even the God Kings that Han Wu was the Fire Ring’s original owner.

Even though the Fire Ring had been auctioned off, Han Wu still possessed the ten treasures that even Major Gods coveted. For both Gods and Major Gods alike, they were a fortune worth fighting for.

Yet he couldn’t spread the information himself. He feared that Xu Hai would trace the leak back to him. He had to use his network. After the message was passed through several intermediaries, an information broker finally released the news that Han Wu was the original owner.

Many Gods and Major Gods were already about to leave after the auction. They hadn’t even reached the gate when the information broker distributed the free intel to them.

According to the report, Han Wu of Imperial College was the one who had auctioned the Fire Ring. It even included his school ID, national ID, and other details.

The Gods and Major Gods glanced through the report in confusion. The auction was over, and the Fire Ring now belonged to the Blazing God King. What was the point of this information now?

Then it struck them. Even though Han Wu no longer possessed the Fire Ring, he still had at least four treasures that even Major Gods could utilize. The report also revealed that Han Wu was a newly ascended God.

His national ID alone was enough for others to locate and invade his divine realm. Realizing this, many Gods and Major Gods hastily turned back.

The God King of Light was about to leave as well when he received the report. Seeing the familiar name, he paused in surprise. “Wait a minute. Han Wu was the one who auctioned the Fire Ring? Elina has been trying hard to convince him to join my faction.”

He scrolled down and chuckled the moment he saw Han Wu’s national ID on the report. With that information, he could use some items to invade Han Wu’s divine realm.

“Things have gotten interesting...” he murmured.

Elsewhere, the True Martial God King received the same report. Han Wu’s name struck a chord of recognition. After a moment’s thought, he finally remembered who he was. Although the two had never met in person, True Martial still recalled him vividly.

“You once escaped the grasp of a God when you were just a Divine Being. I wonder if you can escape a God King’s grip,” he mused. “No. The Imperial College’s higher-ups warned me not to lay a hand on him.”

He smirked faintly. “Fine. I won’t do it myself. But my men can pose as wandering Gods and locate the Origin of Mutation in Han Wu’s divine realm.”

He then sent out the orders and details to his underlings.

...

As Han Wu was about to enter seclusion, a sudden alert flashed before him, and his expression darkened. His divine realm was under invasion. Such events were rare, though not completely impossible. Han Wu had to admit that his luck was terrible since someone had accidentally matched his ID.

While he was preparing for battle, two more alerts appeared. Two more people were invading his divine realm. That was when he realized something was wrong. One invasion out of the blue was already rare enough, but three at once? That couldn’t be just a coincidence.

He quickly mobilized his units to repel the invasion and sent an urgent message to Xu Hai for support. Unfortunately, Xu Hai was occupied with seeing off the auction guests and hadn’t yet checked his messages.

Saliya and Lina were also tied up with post-auction assignments and the afterparty preparations arranged by Imperial College. With no other options, Han Wu informed Qin Shuang and the rest of his comrades about the invasion.

Their responses came quickly. They had already mobilized their troops and were ready to assist him by connecting their divine realm with his.

Han Wu sighed with relief and checked his interface again. While he had been requesting support, six new alerts had appeared.

Fuck! Who’s trying to kill me here? He pushed the thought aside. This wasn’t the time to wonder. He needed to drive back the invaders.

Scanning his entire divine realm, Han Wu saw chaos everywhere. Numerous races had invaded his divine realm and were clashing with his units. The locusts, skeletons, Tigermen, and Flame Demons all battled the invaders in their respective territories. Every second, more threads of faith snapped, signifying their deaths.

“You filthy invaders! Die!” Han Wu roared and activated his towers.

The powerful towers blanketed his entire divine realm and unleashed devastating attacks and debuffs. Waves of invaders fell under their bombardment, and Han Wu used their corpses to summon skeletons. He spent his Divine Points without any reservation, casting every Divine Skill at his disposal to assist his units.

He also used Merge to create a new army of powerful Osteomancers. For a while, towering figures several meters tall patrolled his divine realm.

Even so, the invasion only intensified. More invaders poured in, their gates crowding the edges of his divine realm like a swarm of hives. A quick estimate suggested there were hundreds of them.

Even a Major God couldn’t fend off so many Gods, yet Han Wu held his ground and even struck back because his divine realm housed many powerful units.

The skeletons played a vital role, forming the backbone of his undead legion warfare. Unfortunately, their dominance was short-lived. Once they noticed that Han Wu relied heavily on the skeletons, they started using various Divine Skills designed to counter them, most notably Cleanse.

Cleanse’s light swept across vast portions of his divine realm, and every undead below the High Lord rank caught within its reach disintegrated on the spot. The huge skeleton army crumbled, and the rest of Han Wu’s units were slaughtered without mercy.

Some invaders even managed to tank the towers’ bombardment, reach their bases, and start destroying the precious towers.

Han Wu’s divine realm was being ripped apart piece by piece, and he could only watch, powerless to devise a countermeasure. This was the first time he had ever felt such despair.

At that moment, two gates suddenly opened within his divine realm, and Jing Jing and Sun Qingnian emerged with the elites of their troops. When they saw the devastation around them, despair clouded their faces. Victory was impossible. The invading forces numbered at least ten trillion, while Han Wu’s side barely reached a trillion. They were outnumbered ten to one.

Sun Qingnian forced a note of encouragement into his voice. “Han Wu, you must hold on. Qin Shuang has gone to search for the professors. We need to endure this, and we can win.”

On the other hand, Jing Jing, rarely one to scold him, snapped, “My God, your units are still fighting for your sake. You cannot give up now.”

Her words jolted Han Wu back to his senses. “No, I haven’t lost. I’ll prove it. You fucking bastards! I’ll show you the price you have to pay for attacking my divine realm!”
