Chapter 242. You’re Shocked Just Because I Broke Through to the Martial God Realm? Then How Will You Deal with Me Becoming a God in Four and a Half Months?
In Central China, the four Martial Gods of the Tang Family, the Chu Family, the Zhou Family, and the Su Family all sensed something and looked toward Kunlun Mountain.
Tang Wuji frowned. This aura was a Martial God Tribulation. Was someone breaking through to the Martial God Realm?
He shook his head slightly. “Another brave soul who isn’t afraid of death.”
At the same time, Su Zhan and Chu Ningfeng also revealed the same expression as Tang Wuji.
They had personally gone through it before. They knew firsthand how close to death a Martial God Tribulation was. In fact, even that “one chance of survival” had to be counted with a decimal point.
Among their generation, many martial artists who had reached the peak of the Eighth Realm had attempted to break through to the Martial God Realm, but they had all died under the Martial God Tribulation.
With the lessons left by their predecessors, the martial artists who had now reached the Eighth-Realm Martial Emperor Realm did not dare to make the attempt lightly.
After cultivating bitterly for so many years, dying under the Martial God Tribulation truly was not worth it.
Only the Zhou Family Patriarch, Zhou Qingcang, looked toward Kunlun Mountain with shock appearing on his face.
At this moment, white, threadlike laws lingered between his fingers.
Through the deduction of Frigg’s Law of Fate, he had already predicted the inevitable result that the breakthrough would succeed.
“Huaxia’s sixth Martial God has been born!”
Zhou Qingcang looked toward the horizon in disbelief, his eyes trembling.
If it had been someone else breaking through to the Martial God Realm, he might only have been shocked for a moment.
However, under the calculation of the Law of Fate, the one breaking through to the Martial God Realm was none other than the Jiang Family Heir, Jiang Yichen—the Child of Fate spoken of by the Foreign Gods!
“Jiang Yichen! Jiang Yichen...” Zhou Qingcang repeatedly muttered the name. “How old is he? How could he possibly have reached the Martial God Realm!?”
Judging by age, Jiang Yichen was only twenty-three years old.
Back then, among their generation, even Jiang Zhentian, the fastest to break through to the Martial God Realm, had used seventy years.
An unprecedented shock appeared in Zhou Qingcang’s eyes. He simply could not believe it.
“If I make an enemy of such a peerless prodigy, I’m afraid this old life of mine will be thrown in as well.”
After witnessing Jiang Yichen’s peerless talent, Zhou Qingcang thought of his son...
Hm?
“Why was I dealing with Jiang Yichen for Xiao Yu again?”
Zhou Qingcang suddenly found himself unable to remember. He stroked his chin and began thinking.
Only when the echo of fate rang beside his ear did he recall it.
“Mortal, you do not need to waver. The one chosen by fate is indeed powerful, but he is not unbeatable.”
“Soon, Huaxia’s gods will revive in the mortal world of Takamagahara. Asgard will send the Three Fates to alter his fate, and the gods of Takamagahara will also act. You only need to help me revive with peace of mind.”
The echo transmitted through the threads of fate made Zhou Qingcang suddenly remember.
He was dealing with Jiang Yichen to avenge Xiao Yu and complete his contract with Frigg.
He fell silent for a while. “How do you know Jiang Yichen will definitely go to Japan? The last ruins already alerted him.”
“The guidance of fate.”
Zhou Qingcang slowly nodded. “I hope it will be as you say.”
The threads of fate fell silent. He walked out of his room and summoned Chief Clan Elder Zhou Mingyuan.
“How is the progress?”
“During this period, the Zhou Family entered the marriage and dating market, and we have already lost—”
“Stop, stop, stop. Don’t talk about losses. I did this so that Huaxia can have more happy and harmonious families. This is such a meaningful cause, yet you’re talking to me about losses?”
Zhou Qingcang said this with an incomparably solemn expression.
Zhou Mingyuan: “...”
“Yes, Patriarch. During this period, we have successfully matched 2,123 couples, and 1,827 couples have registered for marriage.”
Zhou Qingcang nodded slightly and glanced at the Divine Contract Mission. Yet there were only thirty happy and harmonious families.
He still had to work harder.
He looked toward Kunlun Mountain once more.
Jiang Yichen, Huaxia’s sixth Martial God? I hope you can live until I complete my Divine Contract Mission.
...
At the peak of Kunlun.
CRACK! CRACK!...
Golden thunder fell like rain, releasing deafening thunderclaps. Terrifying destructive power filled the air.
Ten thousand meters away, everyone from the Divine Battle Division looked at the thunder filled with destructive aura, and all of them sighed and shook their heads.
“Sigh! With thunder this terrifying, I’m afraid even a Divine Contract Holder couldn’t withstand it. It seems I won’t be able to witness the birth of Huaxia’s sixth Martial God in this lifetime.”
“Is breaking through to the Martial God Realm really this dangerous? No wonder the Battle Division has a rule that no one can attempt to break through to the Martial God Realm before completing their Divine Contract Mission. This Martial God Tribulation is truly terrifying.”
“But who wouldn’t yearn for the Martial God Realm? That is the peak of Martial Arts, the summit closest to the gods.”
“...”
The people outside were full of sighs and worry. However, Jiang Yichen, who was within the spatial turbulence, faced the thunder filled with destructive power while gnawing on roasted chicken as though nothing was happening.
As for that thunder, when it came within less than five meters of him, it turned into pale golden energy and flew into his body, circulating through his meridians.
This pale golden energy was neither qi and blood nor Divine Power. Instead, it was a kind of energy that existed between the two.
Jiang Yichen felt as though he was experiencing a weakened version of Supreme-grade · Deification. Martial God, Martial God—it truly did have something to do with gods.
In the research institute’s literature, the realm above Martial God was called “God.”
Having laws but not a body to bear them was called a Demigod.
But he had laws, and he also had a Divine Body capable of bearing laws. He was already no different from a god.
The only difference was that he could not currently convert Spiritual Energy into Divine Power, nor could he absorb the Power of Faith from mortals to strengthen his laws like a god could.
As Jiang Yichen sensed the changes occurring during his breakthrough to the Martial God Realm, he casually opened the system panel.
【Host: Jiang Yichen

Jiang Yichen looked at his personal panel, his gaze locking firmly onto the word “Martial God” under his realm.
The peak of Martial Arts that countless martial artists dreamed of—he had reached it.
In his previous life, he could only look up to the Martial God Realm. He had only felt that it was far too distant from him, something he could occasionally fantasize about in dreams.
But now, he had truly reached it. The Martial God Realm! He had become Huaxia’s sixth Martial God! He was also the youngest Martial God!
And unlike in his previous life, he had not undergone bitter trials and hardships, nor had he nearly staked his life just to break through to the Fifth-Realm Grandmaster Realm.
He had only slacked off, enjoyed life, and amid happy, carefree days, conveniently enjoyed the ultimate pleasure of reaching the peak of Martial Arts—the Martial God Realm.
The Martial God Realm, which he had desperately longed for in his previous life yet could never obtain, was now nothing more than something he enjoyed as part of his life.
Jiang Yichen leaned against the reclining chair, the corners of his mouth curving into a smile. Deep down, he was somewhat excited.
Then his gaze fell on the Automatic Cultivation Speed on his personal panel.
“0.03125% per hour. Converting that, I only need 3,200 hours to reach the Divine Realm. Converting it again, I only need about four and a half months to become a god!”
Jiang Yichen smiled. Those Foreign Martial Artists always said that a mortal becoming a god was nothing but a fool’s dream, but he only needed four and a half months.
Even as a mortal, he could kill gods. If he reached the Divine Realm, wouldn’t he be able to beat those Foreign Gods one-sidedly?
Jiang Yichen’s eyes brightened slightly, and faint anticipation appeared in his gaze. He was beginning to look forward to what his strength would be like after he became a god.
