Legend of the chosen ones: Beyond Destiny

Chapter 1417 - 716: Version Update, Brand-New Features (Thanks to Yu Shi, the Alliance Hierarch)

With a thunderous cessation, the disturbance halted abruptly.

The bewildering chaos of Xiang State Island was enveloped once again in mysterious silence, with black clouds filling the sky, wind howling amidst the darkness, residents exchanging anxious glances, uncertain of what had transpired.

Worried only if a storm or rain might disrupt their livelihoods.

The mountain, along with the Chopra estate, remained shrouded in an ambiguous fog, appearing and disappearing, obscuring any prying eyes.

Even those within Xiang State City couldn't discern what had happened.

In slums or large communities, many suddenly felt their surroundings quiet down, the sporadic chanting from next door coming to an abrupt halt, like a power cut.

In the ICU of the hospital, several critically ill patients opened their eyes, feeling like they had awoken from a nightmare, where in bizarre dreams, they saw gods devoured by demons.

Under martial law as dictated by local regulations, no large-scale disturbances occurred, but rumors spread quickly through short video platforms and various websites.

Some confidently claimed to have seen a giant face in the sky, while others said the deity statue at home suddenly glowed.

In the areas around the mountain, scavengers cleaning up scraps claimed to have found gold nuggets and agate fallen from the sky. Some even said they saw something resembling a cargo ship suddenly rise from the Chopra estate and fly away...

Intense and eerie, the Chosen Ones in the urban area watched breathlessly, wiping the cold sweat from their foreheads as they gazed in the direction of the Chopra estate, not yet shaken free from the anxiety.

The shock waves and tremors had not completely faded.

The Dust had settled.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

As the family fire flared again, dull sounds echoed in the family temple, where stunned candidates seemed to lose all strength, collapsing lifelessly to the ground, their eyes dull, drained of all vitality.

Leaving behind merely empty shells.

In the suffocating silence, everyone stared wide-eyed towards the foremost slender figure, who finally stood up.

Bogio!

He opened his eyes and in the quiet, slowly supported his body, turning back to look behind him.

Joy overflowed for an indeterminable number of people, cheering, shouting.

Others, however, could only glare in frustration, as if bereaved.

"Victory!"

Madik nearly danced wildly with delight, brushing past others who were in the way, rushing to support Bogio's shoulder, laughing uncontrollably: "I knew it, I knew it, Bogio, you certainly... you..."

"..."

Bogio said nothing, as if he couldn't utter a sound.

He stared at Madik woodenly, attempting to open his mouth. Then, viscous blood seeped silently from his orifices, falling with a spectral chill.

Bang!

In front of everyone, he collapsed, soundless.

In the dead silence, the dim family fire flickered and illuminated behind Bogio, the figure still seated on the chair, the sole survivor of this family deity selection.

"It seems the selection has ended?"

A crisp click sounded as the fire from a lighter flickered, igniting a cigarette at his lips.

Minkler took a deep drag, grinning silently.

He unapologetically smirked at the stunned Witnesses in the family temple, informing them: "Now, you may bow to your Family Head."

From his hand, the ring's fire blazed forth, exuding a pure white akin to the family fire.

The choice made by the Family God.

The new Family Head.

Commander of the Seven Cities Defense Fleet, Rear Admiral, Minkler!

With rigid motion, Madik lowered his head, pulling the now lifeless Bogio, repeatedly attempting to make him stand, in disbelief.

"Impossible!"

From the seat in the first row, a woman with a sinister expression pushed up from her chair, glaring with venomous hatred, shouting hysterically: "It must be you, you used some disgraceful tactics! How could the Family God choose a lowborn as the Family Head, I, I will..."

Amidst the turmoil, everyone exchanged glances. The majority remained silent, instinctively wanting to observe Zhejiang mad. Yet some had already bet too much, staking their entire fortunes, but unwilling to accept defeat, began trying to overturn the table.

"Kill him, kill this lowborn!"

Bogio's biological mother, the elderly woman managing the inner residence for decades, resolutely ordered, the ruby of her ring revealing a cold glimmer, immediately causing blood pools to spread from thin air, a menacing outline crawling out towards Minkler!

Suddenly crushed to fragments by an odd limb descending from the sky.

Bang!

The blood splattered and sprayed, outlining the brutal silhouette surrounding Minkler, resembling a centipede with arms waving—the Family God.

No command from Minkler was even needed.

The ravenous Family God poured forth, pouncing onto the elderly woman, delightedly devouring, hungrily swallowing, tearing the endlessly wailing old woman completely apart and consuming her live.

"Whoa!"

In the dissipating mist, Ji Jue stepped into the family temple again and couldn't help but remark: "This is quite lively, is it some program your Chopra family hosts?"

Silence, no one daring to speak, only Minkler sighed softly.

"Ah, somewhat."

He glanced at the woman being devoured by the Family God on the ground, casually asked: "Has it been resolved?"
