Chapter 113: Countdown to the Descent of the Gods
Page (1/3)
Lin Fan stared expressionlessly at this self-righteous woman who dared to accuse her own compatriots yet shrank from facing the bloodshed.
“You? A little girl?”
“Look at them—all those fighting fiercely in the blood—aren’t any of them younger than you! They should be sitting safely in classrooms, but now they’re here shedding blood to protect people like you!”
“Do you know? Five of them died in this battle!”
“Five boys and girls younger than you, dead, just to protect you! And you’re still here blaming them!”
The young internet celebrity, barely twenty-six or twenty-seven, trembled as she said, “But even if those snow creatures do eat people, this massacre is unjustified… Your Godslayers have gone too far!”
At these words,
the cave, once filled with cries and roars, suddenly fell silent.
The townsfolk who were searching for the bodies of their loved ones turned their heads, expressionless, staring at the young celebrity.
Flames burned in their eyes.
Those villagers, who had been tearing into the snow creatures like beasts, lowered the bodies and fixed their bloodied faces on the young woman, like demonic fiends ready to devour her!
Their loved ones had been slaughtered by these beasts.
The Godslayer Army killed those beasts in revenge.
Yet—
someone dared to say… the Godslayers went too far?
That slaughtering these snow creatures was excessive?
“Smack!”
An old woman suddenly lunged forward and slapped the young internet celebrity across the face, roaring like a crazed beast, “My Xiao Han, my son—they’re dead! And you’re still pitying those snow creatures? Those beasts?”
A burly man, eyes bloodshot, shouted, “My daughter was eaten by those beasts! Where the hell were you, you saintly bitch, back then? And now you speak up for them?”
Other villagers roared in anger.
“If those beasts were still alive, would you dare stand here?”
“Do your family need to be eaten before you feel our rage?”
“Are you really one of us?”
“Beast! You’re more beastly than those snow creatures!”
In an instant, even the comments in the live chat turned completely hostile.
“Sorry, shouldn’t have sympathized with this dumb streamer!”
“This pisses me off! How can there be such a traitor among us!”
“At a time like this, still playing the saint? So it’s not your family being eaten, huh?”
“The Godslayers fight for us, and you’re still sneering here?”
“Always whining about how hard it is! The Godslayers fight through snow and wind, and you’re just scared standing there—where’s your courage to blame them?”
“The snow creatures died, didn’t they? Otherwise, why would you be here pretending to be their saintly advocate?”
“Unfollow! Unfollow!”
“Strongly suggest the authorities ban this shameless streamer!”
“I reported her anyway—deal with it yourselves. Nothing else to say, support the Godslayers!”
“Godslayers fight well!”
“I’m heading to the Tianshan Mountains—I have to taste some snow creature meat to vent!”
“Upstairs, bring me some back—I’ll pay!”
The young internet celebrity listened quietly to the villagers’ shouts, neither apologizing nor defending herself.
But when she saw her follower count and viewer numbers plummet instantly and glanced at the flood of curses in the chat, her eyes reddened immediately. “Please don’t unfollow…”
“I was wrong, I was wrong, okay?”
“But the Godslayers shouldn’t have… It’s all the Godslayers’ fault, please don’t leave…” She still stubbornly protested.
Lin Fan, however, had no patience to argue. He snatched the phone away and turned the camera toward himself.

That bloodied face looked like a demon.
“This battle—you’ve all witnessed it,” Lin Fan’s deep voice resonated. “This was the Godslayer Army’s first fight!”
“You may say we lack humanity. You may say we Godslayers are cruel by nature.”
“We won’t argue with you.”
“All the Godslayers know is that when danger comes, we protect you! We fight and die for the Great Xia!”
Lin Fan’s voice, broadcast live, echoed through every corner of Great Xia!
“Fight and die for the Great Xia!”
“Even if some self-righteous critics call us ruthless, even if no one understands us, we Godslayers will still protect you!”
“Because the Godslayer Army was founded to protect Great Xia and all its people!”
“Criticism or blame—we don’t care. In future battles, enemies will grow stronger, and we will become more ruthless, ruthless enough to terrify all foes, ruthless enough to prevent any invasion of Great Xia!”
“Ruthless enough that when those gods hear our name, when they hear ‘Great Xia,’ they tremble in fear!”
“In short.”
“We protect you—not because you agree. This is the will of the Godslayer Army!”
The chat exploded!
“So cool!”
“Moved! Godslayers are invincible!”
“Damn, I want to join the Godslayers too!”
“We protect you without your consent—even if you call us cruel, we still protect you! Tears…”
“This is what it means to be a compatriot of Great Xia. That self-righteous streamer should just quit streaming!”
Fans even flooded the room with gifts, sending one super gift after another!
“The commander speaks well, support the Godslayers!”
“Are you crazy? This is that shameless streamer’s live room—why are you sending her gifts?”
“Exactly, don’t let that saintly bitch get free stuff!”
“Oh damn, I forgot—when Commander Lin speaks, everyone just loses it. I sent ten super gifts…”
“Stop sending gifts! It’s her live room—don’t let her take advantage!”
Lin Fan ignored the comments, tossed the phone back to the young internet celebrity, and said coldly, “Leave now. You’re not welcome here.”
The young streamer dared not stay.
First, the bodies littering the ground and signs of battle terrified her.
Second, the villagers stared at her fiercely, making her feel as though she would be torn apart at any moment.
She fled, rushing out of the dark cave. Once away from this “dangerous” place, she took a deep breath and smiled with delight.
“Looks like a lot of big brothers just sent me gifts,” the streamer said sweetly, glancing at her account.
Goodness.
Lin Fan’s harsh words had somehow earned her hundreds of thousands in gifts!
What an unexpected windfall!
“Thank you all! I’ll keep working hard!” she smiled sweetly at the camera.
The viewers were speechless.
“Damn, who sent those gifts? The boss must be crazy!”
“How shameless! Those gifts weren’t for you—they were for Commander Lin and those fighting in the blood!”
“Trashy saintly bitch, greedy and shameless.”
The chat was flooded with curses.
Yet,
the streamer’s smile only grew brighter. After all, she was here to stir up drama. Good or bad, it was all attention, all traffic, all money!

The Godslayer Army fought fiercely—so what? She got insulted—so what?
Those tips still ended up in her hands.
She had only climbed a mountain, streamed for five minutes. Unlike those foolish Godslayers, risking their lives inside, sacrificing for nothing.
It had to be said, in Great Xia, there was still a small fraction of people—
Even in the face of national crisis, even with everyone united,
They still pursued their own gain without scruples.
But then,
the young internet celebrity suddenly froze.
“Notice: Your live stream has been flagged for serious violations. Your streaming account has been suspended. Additionally, all income from your streams will be confiscated and handed over to the state.”
She stared blankly at the suddenly black screen, her eyes red.
“What the hell? This was hard-earned money!”
“Why hand it over to the state?”
“Even if those Godslayers fought desperately, they only provided material for my stream. I worked hard climbing the mountain, braving the cold to record this!”
“It’s all Lin Fan’s fault…”
She clenched her fists tightly.
Meanwhile, the chat erupted with joy.
“Hahaha, well done!”
“So my rocket gift just became a bonus for the Godslayers? Alright, I’m sending twenty more!”
“Big brother’s awesome! The boss is generous!”
On the other side, despite the drama with the young streamer, Lin Fan remained unmoved.
In this era, all kinds of people existed.
Most Great Xia citizens had patriotic hearts.
But undeniably, a small portion were refined egoists, still scheming to profit even in national crisis.
“Commander,” Situ Hong said, growing angrier, “Should I apply to charge her with spreading rumors and have her arrested?”
“No need.” Lin Fan exhaled. “The state’s power can’t be wasted on such people.”
“Besides.”
“No matter what they say, no matter how outsiders see us.”
“We will still protect them. That won’t change!”
A light shone in Lin Fan’s eyes.
At that moment,
“Beep beep.”
The satellite phone at Lin Fan’s waist rang.
A message.
Lin Fan opened it and read.
“Old Chen: Come back. The first phase of the Iron Wall is expected to be completed by tomorrow afternoon. Hurry back for the final inspection.”
“One week from now.”
“Prepare to welcome the gods.”
The countdown had begun.
Only one week remained until the gods descended!
