Capítulo 2: Chapter 2
With a wicked chuckle, the speaker revealed himself: "Haha, at last, I've tracked you down, Li Xiao, the Tang Dynasty's Prince. Let's see where you can possibly elude me this time."
"Do you really believe you can slip into the forbidden land of the gods and escape unscathed? It's a mockery. Even if you flee to the world's farthest reaches, your fate is sealed, and no savior will emerge."
"Look, General, those folks have halted, and they're down on their knees. Could they be yielding?"
"Surrender? Their surrender won't sway their destiny; it's etched in stone."
Chen Guo's many generals sneered, their expressions reflecting a merciless intent, their aura akin to a storm on the horizon. They were unwavering in their resolve to eradicate every last trace of the Tang Kingdom's remnants. Even if these remnants were to yield, no quarter would be given, and not a single piece of armor would be left intact.
"Hold on, General, take a quick look at what's unfolding up ahead."
In that fleeting moment, a soldier's cry broke the silence.
"What's going on? What's the matter?" General Chen Guo inquired, bewildered.
"The colossal figure! Look, it's an imposing giant."
"No, it's more than a giant; it's a deity, an ancient deity. It must be one that's emerged from the forbidden land of the gods."
Chen Guo's soldiers raised cries of terror, their gaze shifting skyward to confront a towering, primeval giant ascending into the heavens, a colossus resembling a mountain.
In the presence of this gargantuan figure, they seemed as minuscule as ants, and each of its toes was akin to a mountain, a spectacle that sent an unsettling chill coursing through their spines.
In an instant, their determination to confront this looming enigma wavered.
"What? An ancient god?" General Chen Guo's gaze fixated on the colossal entity that had materialized, suffusing the scene with an eerie silence that stole their very breath.
"Master General, it's closing in, the ancient god is drawing near."
"Scatter! Flee as swiftly as you can! If those deities get hold of us, it's the end."
Panic gripped many of the soldiers, and they scattered in a frenzy.
"Quiet!"
General Chen Guo thundered, "Those miscreants who dared to harm my brother Wuxian are near the giant. These so-called ancient gods are nothing more than towering creatures. Let's band together and attack. Our arrows will bring it down. Even if it's a god, we'll slay it today."
His words reverberated with an unapologetic intent, making his thirst for vengeance unmistakable.
Upon hearing this, the soldiers quickly regained their composure. Compared to the enigmatic ancient gods, the known military rules appeared far less terrifying, soothing their nerves and quelling their initial panic.
"Follow my orders, string your bows and let fly your arrows at the giant."
General Chen Guo issued his command.
Shoo! Suddenly, without hesitation, the 100,000 Chen Guo soldiers retrieved their bows and arrows and unleashed a torrent of projectiles at the looming Primordial Giant. Countless arrows descended upon the massive figure like a deluge.
However, these arrows met resistance, harmlessly striking against a protective barrier that shielded the giant. Not a single arrow managed to breach the colossal guardian's defenses.
"It's useless; our attacks have no effect on it."
"By the heavens, this is indeed an ancient god. How could our mortal assaults ever hope to succeed?"
A renewed wave of panic surged through the soldiers, their legs trembling involuntarily.
Booming~~~
At that very moment, the air rent asunder with a deafening explosion, like the rumble of thunder, a sound wave so formidable that it pained their eardrums, nearly causing them to bleed.
It appeared that the ancient god had just spoken, a single utterance unleashing a thunderous roar that reverberated with deafening resonance.
"What's happening? What's the matter?" General Chen Guo clutched his ears, fearing the very vibrations might rend him asunder.
"It's speaking, the ancient god is speaking, but it's in the language of the ancient gods, and we can't comprehend it at all."
"The Primordial God must be enraged. We've provoked its wrath with our assault. We're utterly doomed."
Many soldiers cried out in terror, their fear driving them to flee in all directions.
...
So, this so-called Primordial God, whose earthly name was Xia Chuan, hailed from Xuanhuangxing. Xia Chuan was in possession of a peculiar ancient bronze door, a gateway to realms beyond.
Upon learning of this extraordinary find, Xia Chuan couldn't contain his excitement and, naturally, couldn't wait to venture through the ancient bronze portal to reach this new world.
But before he embarked on this cosmic journey, Xia Chuan made sure to invest in protective gear and a stockpile of wilderness survival equipment. Armed and ready, he stepped through the ancient gateway, fully prepared for whatever mysteries awaited him.
However, as he set foot in this new world, he quickly realized that things were far from ordinary. The land, including the rivers and mountains, appeared exceedingly minuscule, with the tallest peak reaching no higher than himself.
Even the clouds barely reached his waist, and upon closer inspection, it became apparent that everything in this world was on a much smaller scale, with the inhabitants appearing as miniature creatures.
"Huh? What's going on?"
While absorbed in this bizarre exploration, Xia Chuan felt a peculiar sensation at his feet, as though he'd been tickled by an invisible mosquito. However, thanks to his impenetrable protective clothing, even the sharpest wasp couldn't pierce his defenses, so these natural insects posed no threat.
"Goodness, why are there so many ants?"
Xia Chuan instinctively glanced downward and was met with a disconcerting sight: the ground was teeming with countless tiny black specks. His aversion to forest insects was no secret, as they were not only elusive but also had a knack for being venomous.
