White Porridge Uprising

"You sinners! How dare you! If you don't want to atone, there are plenty outside who do! Kill them all!"

Luo Ku gave the order for execution.

Over a hundred soldiers from the Order of the Guardians of the Faith clashed with the miners wielding pickaxes.

Although the miners' human-wave tactics were effective, they came at a tremendous cost.

But now, all the human miners were fighting with their lives on the line, unleashing a potential far beyond that of the pampered young knights.

They wanted to repay every ounce of oppression they had suffered from the alien races!

Faced with the miners' rebellion, Luo Ku flew into a rage.

With his strength at the Condensation Dan stage, killing the miners would have been easy—but you had locked onto him.

You're no ordinary postnatal martial artist! You're at least at the same level as me!

"Only figured that out now?"

"Impossible! You have no immortal root, no special physique, no special soul—a triple-zero nobody! How could you possibly reach this cultivation level just by luck?"

"Go ask the King of Hell!"

You hurled a barrage of white modifier strips at Luo Ku without mercy.

"What are these?!"

One modifier, called "True Fire!", struck Luo Ku on the head.

Luo Ku's eyes went wide on the spot, and he pointed everywhere, shouting.

"Miners! Overseers! Knights! TRUE—FIRE!"

You punched him flying again.

The effect of the white modifier on Luo Ku, a Condensation Dan stage cultivator, lasted only an instant before he forcefully dispelled it with his qi.

With the increasing stacks of "Heart of Steel," the 500-fold qi amplification from "Super Saiyan" first stage boosted by "Irritable Temperament," the hundredfold damage reduction from "Strictest Father of the Alien Race," and the instant recovery from "Wolverine," Luo Ku realized he simply couldn't beat you!

His spells hit you like a tickle.

Though divine patterns were effective, you overpowered them with brute force, punching him relentlessly.

"BOOM!!"

You sat astride Luo Ku's back, your iron fist slamming into him with such force that the ground caved in, sending shockwaves that churned up clouds of dust.

"Trying to steal my opportunity?!"

"BOOM!"

Another punch tore Luo Ku's white robe to shreds.

"Stop hitting! We won't take your opportunity anymore! You're free!"

"Are all us humans sinful?!"

"BOOM!!"

An even more powerful punch—this one from your right arm, amplified tenfold by the Qilin Arm—shattered the soft armor talisman Luo Ku wore underneath.

"You're innocent! Innocent! I declare you innocent!"

"Do I need your declaration to decide my guilt?!"

"BOOM!!!"

A third punch sent Luo Ku spewing blood mixed with shattered organs.

Tough as a Condensation Dan stage cultivator, Luo Ku didn't die—he just passed out cold.

Like a god of slaughter, you hoisted Luo Ku's limp body with one hand.

"Everyone stop right now, or I'll kill him immediately!"

Your deep, powerful voice rang across the entire mining ground.

The Faith-Defending Knights on the scene stood dumbfounded, staring at Luo Ku—beaten senseless and limp like a dead fish, covered in blood, his bones twisted and broken.

"Lord White Priest... actually got beaten this badly by a miner?"

"Lord Luo Ku is at Condensation Dan stage, even if he only broke through recently. Could that miner be at Absolute Ground stage? Heaven Passage stage??"

"With such high cultivation, mining out here—what, is he crazy?"

Luo Ku had actually had a slim chance earlier.

He'd noticed you didn't understand divine patterns, barely holding up against their effects.

Some divine patterns could indeed restrain you.

But he never found the specific divine pattern to dispel your enraged state before you knocked him unconscious.

You called a truce because you didn't want more casualties.

But you had no intention of letting the Faith-Defending Knights and the on-site overseers from the Church of the Winged God off the hook.

Number One Mine was hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest Winged God subchurch.

With the suppression of the realities' world laws, even if the experts at the subchurch learned of the situation immediately, they couldn't get there in time.

Still, you overestimated these people's loyalty to the White Priest.

The lider at the Regulated Qi stage immediately knelt with a group of knights.

Spare us, big shot! We didn't know you were this strong! If we had, you'd definitely be an honored guest of the Winged God Cult!

You twitched your mouth.

"You really are bullies, playing favorites."

"And... that's wrong?"

You were at a loss for words.

"Strip off all your weapons and armor."

The knights obeyed.

Once the armor was off, you saw their scaly bodies, dripping wet—rather disgusting.

Quite a contrast from the majestic image they made in knight armor, holding spears.

"See the deep shaft to my right? Jump in."

The lider said in surprise.

"Big shot, that shaft is for surveying deep-source stones! Even I couldn't climb back out!"

"Then why do you think I'm asking you to jump in?"

Realizing you were about to bury them alive, the knights scattered and fled.

You summoned Chen Five to help, splitting up to catch them all and dump them into the deep shaft.

With all the enemies dealt with,

as you stood tall, Liu Ying and the other human miners murmured words like "deity" under their breath.

Your deep voice reached their ears.

"I am not a god! I am human too! If you don't want to remain slaves to the alien races, follow me! Rise up!"

A moment of silence fell over the crowd.

Then it erupted into a sea of cheers.

"Rebellion! Revolution!"

"Follow Benefactor Chen for food!"

"Screw anyone who tries to enslave us!"

This revolt, sparked by a bowl of white porridge,

went down in history as the "White Porridge Uprising."

You then reinforced a chain with the 《Divine Armament Revelation》, binding the unconscious Luo Ku tightly.

Next, you ordered the miners to gather all the supplies in the mine—Originium, food, weapons, armor, and everything else.

The battle had claimed two hundred miners' lives, leaving eight hundred able-bodied survivors.

Having all received the grace of your white porridge, they were no longer so frail.

With so many hands, carrying everything out of the mine was simple.

You headed westward toward desolate lands, away from the churches of the Cult of the Winged God.

Along the way, Luo Ku woke up.

"Hmph, think a little chain can hold me?"

"If you dare to touch me, I'll hit you again."

(He/She/They) behaved.
