Divine Rune Awakening: Starting With Various Divine Runes and Dominating the World

[Decisive! Invincible! No Mercy!] When a thunderbolt ripped through the night sky, the blood moon appeared, and the world changed forever. Animals evolved, vegetation grew wildly, and intelligence was awakened. In just one night, the world was plunged into bloody chaos. The helpless humans were unable to resist the onslaught of the evolved animals and the sweeping plants with awakened intelligence, making countless humans their prey. However, those with divine runes engraved on their bodies were shocked to find that their runes had also been revived, which gave them incredibly powerful strength. Three years after the world changed, Gu Changqing transmigrated back to the eve of the cataclysm. In his previous life, he did not like to engrave anything on his body, but now that he had come back to this chaotic world, the first thing he did to survive and rise up was to invite the world's top divine rune master to engrave the ten evil demons in the world: Rahu, Kirin, White Tiger, Black Dragon, Grim Reaper, Asura, Hades, Skeleton, Great Sage, and Nezha! He knew that engraving divine runes after the cataclysm would not awaken their power and make them powerful.

Inexplicably Becoming the Stabilizing Force of the Nine Region Empire

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Outside the shelter in the western suburbs.

The ant king the size of a van collapsed on the sand dune.

Gu Changqing held the blood spear in his hand as the two black dragons spiraled behind him along with the 36 White Flying Daggers that floated up and down. The red, black, and gray armor on his body emitted a terrifying aura at this moment. He stood quietly and proudly on the back of the ant king's bloody body, looking like a malevolent god.

"Boss is invincible!"

Zhang Hu, who was slaughtering the ants at the side, looked at the figure standing on the ant king and let out a roar. His blood boiled, and he grew even more energetic as he slaughtered the ants.

The reason Zhang Hu was able to activate two divine runes was all thanks to Gu Changqing. When he was awakening his divine runes, he managed to absorb some of the energy from the strange mark on Gu Changqing's palm. Otherwise, at his current stage, he would not have been able to activate two divine runes at the same time.

The other men's fighting spirits also rose when they looked at Gu Changqing.

For some reason, the ants did not retreat even after the death of the ant king. They continued to charge at the crowd without fear of death.

Meanwhile, Gu Changqing looked into the distance. The fact that the ants did not retreat meant that there was still another ant king. However, it should not be as powerful as the one under his feet. Otherwise, it would have appeared long ago. In any case, it was a good thing that the ants did not retreat. In his eyes, they were all crystal cores. He was still weak and needed more crystal cores.

Among the mutant beasts, late-stage tier-four mutant beasts like the ant king were probably not rare. This was especially true for the mutant sea beasts, which posed the greatest threat to humans.

Roar!

Suddenly, the black dragon on Gu Changqing's left roared before it dove at the ant king's body, taking out a crystal core the size of an adult's fist.

"As expected of a tier-4 mutant beast's crystal core. It's huge, and its energy is pure…" Gu Changqing muttered to himself as he stared at the crystal core. He felt that two of his divine runes would advance to the second stage after he absorbed the crystal core. He quickly put the crystal core away and deactivated the five divine runes. Then, he activated the Grim Reaper divine rune and the Skull divine rune again before he joined in the slaughter. In this state, he killed faster than his men.

In the broadcast room, many DIvine Runemasters' comments flooded the screen.

"Where is this big shot? I want to join him!"

"He's too fierce! I'm also a Divine Runemaster! Can anyone tell me where the big shot is?"

"Let's team up! I'm in City M. Are there any Divine Runemasters in City M?"

"When that shelter was built, didn't it cause a sensation on the Internet? I remember it's in the western suburbs of Longjiang City. Are there any Divine Runemasters from Dongjiang City? Let's head to Longjiang City together!"

The number of Divine Runemasters was actually not small. Most of them had helped the government to rescue many survivors. Among them, there were also quite a few vicious Divine Runemasters.

In Underground Shelter #3.

"Sister, this person will definitely be the absolute overlord of the planet in the future! Why can't it be me?" Lin Chen said, feeling extremely envious.

"If you don't want to die, don't provoke him. Let's just live our own lives," Lin Shuiyao warned solemnly. How could she not see the jealousy in her brother's eyes?

Lin Chen smiled. "Sister, when did I say I wanted to provoke him?"

Meanwhile, Su Youwei's expression was rather complicated. If she were not so decisive back then, she would likely be fighting alongside Gu Changqing now. Alas, there was no medicine for regret in this world.

In the conference hall.

After calming down, Long Zhanguo said in a low voice, "Prepare to contact Gu Changqing now. With the strength he just displayed, all he needs to do is raise his hand to gather almost all of the Divine Runemasters in the country to follow him. We can use this opportunity to form the Divine Runemaster Alliance."

Xuanyuan Wang Rui said worriedly, "I'm just afraid that he'll refuse us."

Huang Mengguo nodded. "This is indeed a cause for concern. Nonetheless, we still have to try."

"We'll contact him when he returns to the shelter. I hope he'll accept our invitation," Long Zhanguo said, worried as well.

Xuanyuan Wang Rui narrowed his eyes and asked, "What should we do if he refuses?"

"What can we do? We still have to maintain a polite attitude. Who knows what kind of powerful mutant beasts are out there? In the future, we might have to pay a huge price to ask him for help…" Huang Mengguo said in a deep voice.

Long Zhanguo nodded. "No matter what, we can't offend him."

"That's right. It's fine if he refuses. We need a powerful Divine Runemaster like him to stabilize the Nine Region Empire."

"In my opinion, all the survivors and the Divine Runemasters in the country already regard him as the stabilizing force of the Nine Region Empire."

Time flew by, and in just a blink of an eye, it was already 3 PM.

Everyone at the western suburbs' shelter was exhausted, killing ant kings and collecting their crystal cores.

At about 4 PM, Gu Changqing led the others back into the shelter. There was no casualty at all.

At the same time, the black ants continued to climb the walls of the shelters.

Not long after Gu Changqing and the others returned to the shelter, a loud roar rang from the horizon.

Subsequently, the ants that were climbing and attacking the walls began to retreat like the tide.

"Oh, it has finally appeared?"

Gu Changqing, who was standing near the entrance, heard the cry and quickly activated the Asura divine rune, the Black Dragon divine rune, the King of Hell divine rune, and the blood spear divine rune. He opened the gate and slipped through it, following the source of the sound and killing the ants in the surroundings at the same time.

The army of huge ants exploded in Gu Changqing's wake as he and the two black dragons behind him slaughtered the ants.

Gu Changqing knew that he could not let the other party go. Its intelligence was high, and it even knew how to devour its kind to evolve. Given a few more days, he knew even he would find it difficult to deal with it. Therefore, he had to get rid of it now to prevent future trouble.

The people who were still watching the broadcast looked at the domineering figure that moved so fast that only afterimages could be seen. They were all puzzled.

"What's going on? The ants are retreating. Why did this big shot come out again?"

"Didn't you hear that roar earlier? The ants retreated as soon as they heard the roar. It's likely another ant king or ant queen. The big shot obviously wants to remove future trouble."

The satellite camera locked onto Gu Changqing, and everyone stared intently at the screen, wondering if an ant king or ant queen was going to appear.
