"Why did the Pantheon come to Kaiji Star? Could that old fox Hermes be here too?" Qiao Yu muttered to himself.

Before he could figure it out, the Chang horde on Kaiji Star launched a fierce attack on him.

However, Qiao Yu was no longer the same as before. The Chang horde, which used to be enough to make him flee in disarray, could hardly pose a significant threat to him now.

The Divine Thunder of Annihilation descended, thunder arcs surged, and large swaths of the Chang horde began to melt away like snow under the scorching sun.

"It's a Chang horde! It is said that these things are the embodiment of the evil thoughts of dead gods!"

At this time, the others finally caught up from behind.

Looking at the planet that had been occupied by the Chang horde, Ji Pingyang and Shen Jianshu were filled with emotion.

After all, this was once their home!

"Help Qiao Yu deal with those Chang!"

With Bai Xinweng's order, the flowing fist energy howled across the sky, and the Bai family immediately took action and fought with the Chang horde.

Then, Ye Xingye, Deng Qianqiu, Yan Zhe, Rui Wei, and other top forces could not stand idly by and joined the battle.

These people were almost the sum of all the combat power in the entire Ninth Universe. With their joint efforts, the Chang horde on Kaiji Star was quickly wiped out.

Everyone landed on Kaiji Star.

Qiao Yu quietly watched the Pantheon on Kaiji Star.

If he guessed correctly, the main character should be appearing soon.

Sure enough, a faint sigh sounded.

"Qiao Yu, you came back faster than I expected. You really know how to surprise people."

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

There were at least a dozen pseudo-god realm experts present.

But no one could detect where the voice came from, as if it was ringing directly in their minds.

"Come in."

The door of the Pantheon creaked open. For some reason, everyone felt that this Pantheon was different from before.

If they had to put their finger on it, the previous Pantheon was like a self-driving car. Although it could drive and move, it still lacked a bit of agility.

But at this moment, the Pantheon in front of them seemed to have completely come to life!

Qiao Yu did not hesitate and strode towards the Pantheon.

After he entered, the door of the Pantheon slowly closed.

This time, inside the Pantheon, there was no more of the turbid darkness that was impossible to see through. Instead, it was brightly lit, and everything inside could be seen at a glance.

The four walls of the Pantheon, including the ceiling and the ground, were all covered with dense stone carvings!

Some of the stone carvings were of human figures, some were of animal figures, all kinds of strange shapes and forms.

The only difference was that some of the statues were lit up, while others were still dim.

In the center of the hall, Hermes, dressed in a suit and looking refined, sat there with a stone table in front of him. Hermes, wearing white gloves, was quietly grinding coffee in a hand-operated coffee grinder.

"You humans always give me little surprises. Before I was sealed, I had never seen such interesting gadgets."

Hermes looked at the coffee grinder in front of him, his eyes full of fondness.

"This Pantheon is indeed related to you."

Qiao Yu's expression was a little solemn.

Hermes was different from before!

The Hermes in front of him had a physical body!

This also meant that Hermes had probably recovered his full strength!

From the first time he met Hermes on Mount Olympus, Qiao Yu had never understood what this guy's purpose was.

Hermes was like a cloud of mist, or a stagnant pool of water, making him completely unfathomable.

Hermes picked up the freshly ground coffee and handed it to the other side of the stone table, saying gently.

"Don't be nervous, come and have a cup of coffee before we talk. According to you humans, this seems to be called Americano?"

"Americano? Forget it, I don't drink that stuff. The only difference between that stuff and traditional Chinese medicine is that Americano can't be paid for with a medical insurance card." Qiao Yu's face was full of disgust.

Hermes: "..."

"I, one of the twelve main gods, personally grinded this coffee, and only you have the guts to refuse it."

Hermes shook his head with a wry smile, then raised a broken golden shield.

"The Shield of Zeus, it seems you have already met the God-King Zeus in the First Universe."

Qiao Yu's pupils shrank. He didn't notice how Hermes took the Shield of Zeus from him.

It seemed that Hermes' Divine Theft was far more advanced than his, and could even specify items.

Sure enough, this old bastard hid something when he taught him! No wonder he could only steal underwear!

"Having met the God-King Zeus, you should have also met your father, Qiao Anqing, right?"

Hermes stared calmly into Qiao Yu's eyes, as if he wanted to see through his heart.

"What if I did, and what if I didn't?" Qiao Yu asked after a moment of silence.

Hermes raised his coffee and took a slow sip.

"If you haven't seen Qiao Anqing, it means his plan has completely failed, and the soul of Hades in you has also fallen asleep. This means you have no use, and I will kill you immediately."

Hermes' tone was very calm, but Qiao Yu suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and even his divine sense trembled.

He was sure that Hermes was not joking with him.

As long as Hermes raised his hand, he would definitely be decomposed and shattered like the Xing family before.

Hermes stared at Qiao Yu with a smile that was not a smile.

"Don't be so nervous. If you have seen him, then not only will I not kill you, but I will also help you quickly climb to the peak of the pseudo-god realm and then send you to the Underworld."

"So now."

Hermes stood up, slowly walked to Qiao Yu's front, and said gently.

"Tell me, did you... see Qiao Anqing?"

Qiao Yu fell silent, then raised his eyes and grinned at Hermes.

"Guess?"

Hermes and Qiao Yu faced off, staring at each other without saying a word.

"Hahahaha!"

Hermes suddenly burst out laughing.

"Qiao Yu, you are really interesting! Really very interesting. Not only are you interesting, but you are also very bold. It's been a long time since I felt this excited. Are you really not afraid that I will kill you directly?"

"Killing me directly wouldn't do you any good, would it? Anyway, to you, I'm no different from an ant." Qiao Yu also laughed.

"Not bad, but now I'm very interested in you, this ant. I want to play a game with you."

Hermes snapped his fingers, and the statues in the Pantheon that were originally dim suddenly lit up.

Streams of light flew out of the Pantheon and landed on the people outside.

Bai Xinweng, Bai Shiyan, Shen Jianshu, Ji Pingyang were the first to be hit. Ye Xingye, Yan Zhe, the Starry Sky Sword Saint, Deng Qianqiu, Rui Wei, and others could not escape either.

Almost half of the people were hit by the streams of light.

But the streams of light did not harm them. On the contrary, they gained an inheritance and fragments of laws!

Those who were hit by the streams of light had all obtained the inheritance of the gods!

"Wow! The gods have responded to me. I have obtained the inheritance of the gods. This is... this is a fragment of the Law of Ice!"

"From now on, I am a chosen one! I will definitely make a name for myself and let the entire Ninth Universe remember my name, Chenpi Huameitang (Candied Peel Plum)!"

"Hahahaha, I have also obtained the inheritance of the gods. I have said it before, thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't bully the young and poor!"
