Dawn of a New Era-Chapter 531 - 505: Harassment

A rough divine statue in a tribe.

As a will descended, it suddenly seemed to come alive. The statue trembled slightly, and dust and rubble fell from its body. Under a mysterious force, the originally rough and vague features gradually became clear.

"Crack, crack..."

The statue slowly and arduously lifted its head, accompanied by a cascade of debris falling from it. Cracks spread like a spiderweb.

It looked towards the sky, with two obsidian eyes gleaming brightly.

The area here was still untouched, a temporary calm.

The barbarians of the tribe were terrified and shocked upon seeing this scene, and they all knelt down, praying loudly.

Chen Shouyi seemed oblivious.

The air was restless, like an afternoon before a thunderstorm, filled with an oppressive atmosphere.

Light clouds moved rapidly in the sky, constantly changing, sometimes gathering, sometimes dispersing quickly, fleeting.

The distant sea was surging, the tide crashing onto the beach with a rumbling sound.

A vast power was interfering here.

"It is indeed the Barbarian God..." Chen Shouyi’s heart sank.

He didn’t have to wait long, five or six seconds later, Chen Shouyi felt a gaze as substantial as a physical presence on him, accompanied by a suppressive divine power. He controlled the statue to look in the direction of the gaze.

It was a giant monster, the air around it distorted, with countless sinister gleams, appearing very vague.

"What a lucky ant, daring to covet becoming a god. Unfortunately, this luck has ended!" It looked at the statue, its eyes flashing with divine light, quickly sensing his position based on the lingering aura from the statue. But unfortunately, the target seemed far away, and it found nothing.

It felt a faint sense of disappointment.

Oh well, just an ant. If it escaped, so be it!

A wave of its hand, a dark blue light streak instantly shattered Chen Shouyi’s statue.

Chen Shouyi’s mind was a whirlwind, snapping back to reality.

He clenched his fist tightly, the sound of joints cracking, a trace of irritation on his face:

"Damn it!"

He stood in place for a while, then continued moving forward.

The opponent is obviously not a demigod.

Whether on Earth or in the other world, he had encountered demigods, but none had such a strong divine presence.

For some reason, perhaps due to their uncontrollable divine fire, the gods could not restrain their aura, like stars in the universe, constantly emitting their brilliance.

The strength of the aura could, to some extent, clearly identify the level of a god.

Undoubtedly, this was a True God!

A colorful poisonous insect crawled out from the sand, raising a gold and purple stinger, climbing towards his instep. Before touching him, Chen Shouyi’s foot exploded with force, and the insect was instantly shattered.

He looked down irritably, then continued forward.

"However... this Barbarian God seems much weaker than the terrifying Barbarian God encountered in Shankui Province!" He pondered: "That Barbarian God, according to the descent of its saint, was of medium divine power, and even on Earth, its divine power was minimal, probably not even reaching the level of weak divine power."

"And this Barbarian God is probably... just the weakest weak divine power!"

As he walked, he checked his attribute panel.

He found that the mental projection just now, in a short time, consumed more than a dozen faith values. However, Chen Shouyi didn’t mind; for him now, it was just a drop in the ocean.

He closed the attribute panel, feeling the faith line still collapsing like an avalanche.

He looked up ahead as a chaotic wind blew through, the desert rippling like a sea surface with scales, sand swirling.

"True God!"

"Speaking of which, I haven’t tasted what a True God is like yet?"

"Mighty Giant, Little One is hungry!" Shell Lady tugged on Chen Shouyi’s ear, speaking coquettishly.

"Wait a little longer, once we’re back in the cave, I’ll get you something right away." Chen Shouyi returned to his senses and said, quickening his pace.

...

"General Manager Chen!"

"General Manager Chen!"

Chen Shouyi nodded slightly all the way, walking briskly out of the spatial passage.

It was already evening outside.

A round red sunset was gradually sinking beyond the horizon.

Chen Shouyi pushed out his bicycle, mounted it with a pedal, and hurried home.

After nearly half a year of respite, Hedong City was gradually recovering, distant chimneys stood like a forest, spewing thick smoke, and the roads were packed with a flow of commuters on bicycles.

A few young female workers deliberately rode up beside Chen Shouyi, brazenly sizing him up, exuding youthful vitality.

"Hey handsome, wanna make friends?" A bold young female worker teased.

Chen Shouyi didn’t want to pay attention to these female rogues, he slightly exerted force on the pedals, quickly surpassing them.

Being handsome is a hassle, especially now with more women than men, always attracting some female rogues’ harassment on the street.

It was extremely annoying for Chen Shouyi.

He thought he had dodged, but the peace didn’t last long, and soon those women caught up again.

"Handsome, don’t run away, so shy, we’re not gonna eat you!" A female worker panted heavily, her chest wrapped in work clothes heaving dramatically: "Which unit are you from? Let’s get to know each other, maybe hang out sometime!"

What to play? What’s fun about it?

Chen Shouyi remained silent.

Many female workers nearby laughed melodiously upon hearing this.

"Zhou Hongping, that’s not fair, there are three of you, how do you divide one handsome guy?"

"Why divide? One can take four, count me in!"

"Me too!"

...

The surrounding female workers circled around him, chirping, discussing enthusiastically.

Chen Shouyi felt his temples throbbing with frustration.

To think that he, a legendary figure, a Godslayer, with so many barbarian kills that they could pile up into a small mountain, was being teased by a group of female rogues.

One taking six, one taking seven?

Running a train?

From his experience, scolding female rogues was useless, only fueling their arrogance.

And he couldn’t beat them to death.

Chen Shouyi could only hold his breath, staying silent all the way until he arrived at the Safe Zone, finally freeing himself from the entanglement of those female hooligans.

He exhaled a long breath. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

...

During dinner, Chen Shouyi mentioned that he would be leaving temporarily for a few days.

His parents didn’t ask much, just told him to be careful.

Ever since the exclusive interview with Everyone’s Daily came out, especially regarding the Godslayer incident, it brought a huge psychological shock to his parents, leaving them with a strong sense of unreality.

Their son seemed just average in appearance and showed no special traits!

He was obedient.

Although his strength was indeed formidable, as he was one of Great Xia Country’s top legendary powerhouses, even bullets to the temple couldn’t faze him.

But to kill the Barbarian God...

It was still hard to believe.

Even if it were just a Demigod, it was still a god, and people say it takes an atomic bomb to kill one.

"Mom, don’t worry, I’m not going on an adventure, nothing will happen!"

...

In the bedroom at night.

"Buzz..."

"Buzz..."

"Buzz..."

The air emitted a grand buzzing sound, with even the window glass vibrating intensely, resonating.

Chen Shouyi slowly threw punch after punch.

His whole body was a blur.

The ultra-stretchable underwear he wore finally couldn’t withstand it and gradually tore, tiny fragments floating down from the air.

Undistracted, Chen Shouyi continued practicing.

His legendary Energy, originally like stagnant water, through day-to-day practice, had become highly active, increasingly easy to manipulate; with just a mere thought, the Energy trembled violently.

At the same time, this intense shaking made his body feel like it was about to explode.

His heart was excited, his muscles bulging, veins protruding like worms.

Shell Lady watched Chen Shouyi.

"Buzz!"

She mimicked it, thought of something, quickly covered her mouth, eyes wide and expression fearful.

Then she snorted and turned her head away, refusing to pay attention to the foolish Giant enticing her.

She was not a bee!

She jumped onto the desk, carried a large book "Little Kids Learn Arithmetic," placed it on her head, and bouncingly returned to the bed.

She opened the first page and began doing her favorite, yet most time-consuming math problems.

After several hours, Chen Shouyi stopped, taking advantage of his body’s still surging Energy, and checked the attribute panel.

Strength: 19.2+0.2

Agility: 19.5+0.2

Constitution: 19.3+0.2

Intelligence: 19.6+0.2

Perception: 17.2

Will: 17.9

Energy Accumulation: 8.31

Faith Value: 170.7

"Physical attributes still only increased by 10%." Chen Shouyi glanced over and finally looked at ’Explosive Force’ in the skill bar:

"Explosive Force: Proficient (16)"

"I wonder if after Mastery, the growth will increase further!"

A second later, the growth fell back to +0.1.

Two seconds later, all attributes returned to normal.

At the same time, a sense of weakness arose spontaneously.

Chen Shouyi took a towel to wipe his sweat, his eyes flickering.

In the alternate world, he used Giant Transformation, with his body towering at thirty meters.

With such a massive physique, he had no suitable weapon.

The three-and-a-half-meter giant sword was about the size of a dagger.

The only thing he could rely on was his own body. This legendary secret technique could still be used even in the state of a Giant, and the legendary Energy could magnify proportionally with the body size, making its power even more terrifying.

Chen Shouyi estimated that even a mere graze could affect Demigods or even True Gods.

...

At two in the morning, all was silent!

Chen Shouyi turned on the light, got up from the bed, washed up, and went downstairs.

He left a note in the living room and walked out the door, carrying the still-drowsy Shell Lady.

He avoided patrolling soldiers along the way, arriving at an uninhabited countryside spot.

Then he pushed with his foot.

A burst of airflow swept through.

His body shot skyward!

Thanks to the absence of radar and automatic fire control, in the dark, humans could not detect or deal with such high-speed objects.

He flew at a high speed of twelve to thirteen kilometers per minute without alerting any air defense systems.

Just after two minutes, he had already left Hedong’s range.

Flight by will brought terrifying high maneuverability. Although it didn’t seem much faster than his running speed, flying was in a straight line, entirely unaffected by terrain or buildings.

Seven minutes later, as his mind was about to run out, Chen Shouyi landed.

Not far ahead was Dongning.
