Chapter 779: Brother, We’re Blood Relatives

Chen Ye did not even offer a single word of condolence.

Huang Jue finally sensed that something was off. After a brief silence, he said, “Cousin, you’re the Chief Seat now. We’re each other’s only family left in this world!”

“I came here this time because I want to ask you for something, Cousin!”

“Please, Cousin, you have to say yes!”

After saying that, Huang Jue actually dropped to his knees in front of Chen Ye.

Just like that, he knelt down!

Chen Ye said nothing. He simply watched Huang Jue.

He neither agreed nor told Huang Jue to get up.

Kneeling on the ground, Huang Jue felt even more uneasy.

Come on, we’re relatives, family, each other’s only family in this world. How can you be this cold?

But things had reached this point, and Huang Jue had no way back.

After a long pause, Chen Ye finally said, “Tell me what it is first. If I can help, I definitely will!”

But as he said this, the killing intent in Chen Ye’s heart burned even more fiercely.

He was a God Worshipper, and he was shameless enough to drop to his knees without a second thought.

A talent like that had to be killed!

God Worshippers were far too dangerous!

“Cousin, I want to bring Yue-jie back to life! I can’t go on without her!”

Still on his knees, Huang Jue shuffled forward twice.

“Get up first! Tell me what you’re planning to do!”

Huang Jue’s eyes lit up slightly. As long as Chen Ye was willing to talk, that was good. It meant his cousin was just a little cold by nature, but still willing to help.

After all, he really might be Chen Ye’s only living relative left in this world.

Huang Jue took the opportunity to stand up, his expression earnest and sincere:

“Cousin, I’m a Superhuman too. I may not be as powerful as you, but I’m a God Worshipper!”

“The God Worshipper Sequence is definitely the most wondrous Sequence in the world!”

“I have a way to bring Yue-jie back to my side…”

“Cousin, I founded a Goddess Symbiosis Society! I’m its president now…”

“Cousin, the power of faith…”

Blah blah blah…

Just as Chen Ye had expected.

Huang Jue had dug up his wife’s body and even founded some organization called the “Goddess Symbiosis Society.”

According to Huang Jue, his wife, “Yue-jie,” was the goddess of the “Goddess Symbiosis Society.”

He claimed that God Worshippers could gather the power of faith from the Society’s followers and transform the goddess into a true god.

Once the goddess became a god, his wife Yue-jie would be able to come fully back to life.

The approach was more or less the same as Wu Jianshan’s.

But Chen Ye heard the alarm bells ringing in his heart.

In the apocalypse, organizations like this developed at a terrifying speed.

After enduring one threat of death after another, people most desperately needed something to believe in.

So, as soon as an organization with this kind of deceptive appeal appeared, it would grow rapidly in a very short time.

If he let this so-called “Goddess Symbiosis Society” continue to develop unchecked, Chen Ye believed that in less than a month, all four thousand people in Xi City would become members of the Society in an extremely short time.

By then, the man standing before him would call all the shots in Xi City.

Killing intent rose in Chen Ye’s heart.

It wasn’t because Chen Ye had turned over a new leaf and realized that he was the Chief Seat of Xi City!

It was because Xi City’s interests were tied to his own.

He had fought for Xi City with his life, more or less, even if he hadn’t done so entirely of his own free will.

Xi City had been hard-won. He, Sun Xixi, Jiang Rou, and the others had all come close to dying for it.

But the man before him, though he was Chen Ye’s cousin, might destroy Xi City.

No, it wasn’t just a possibility!

If the Goddess Symbiosis Society developed as he described, Xi City would definitely slip out of Chen Ye’s control.

Chen Ye couldn’t guarantee what Xi City would become by then!

Chen Ye’s killing intent grew stronger!

But he didn’t let it show. He wanted to find out exactly why his long-lost cousin had come to see him.

“Cousin, you came to see me today because…”

Huang Jue glanced at Chen Ye, feeling that something was off, but he couldn’t afford to dwell on it now.

“Cousin, the Goddess Symbiosis Society has run into some trouble!”

“Too many people want to join our Society, so we’ve already attracted some people’s attention!”

“Cousin, I’m your only cousin. Other than me, you don’t have a single relative left in this world!”

“Cousin, I need your help!”

“You’re the Chief Seat of Guard Team Thirteen now. You’re a big shot too!”

“As long as you’re willing to protect me, the Society will be able to survive!”

“Then Yue-jie can live too. Cousin, please help me! I’m begging you!”

Chen Ye raised his brows. So that was it.

This “cousin” had probably been driven into a corner by the people who had noticed the Society, which was why he had come to Chen Ye.

“Cousin, I won’t ask you to help me for nothing!”

“I can help you set up an organizational system for Guard Team Thirteen, so you can fully establish the Guard Teams!”

“Then you and I can join forces, and the two of us brothers will definitely be able to take control of all Xi City!”

Huang Jue wasn’t some reckless fool who would come to Chen Ye without a plan.

Before he came, Huang Jue had considered several reasons why he might succeed.

First, he would use his Intimate Relationship ability to make himself seem like someone very close to this One-eyed Guy.

As a God Worshipper, he knew the Intimate Relationship ability well. It had always worked like a charm for him before, and had never failed.

So, the Intimate Relationship ability gave Huang Jue confidence to seek out Chen Ye.

Besides, after the apocalypse, people cared more about blood ties. Relatives who hadn’t been in touch for over a decade before the apocalypse would often treat each other as their only family when they met afterward.

This kind of thing was far from rare after the apocalypse.

Second, Huang Jue had humbled himself enough. He had even knelt down and begged Chen Ye. Who could refuse a blood relative kneeling on the ground to plead with them?

Even the coldest person would probably be moved deep down.

Third, he would tie Chen Ye’s interests to his own.

With those three reasons, Huang Jue felt sure he could succeed.

But when the crimson claw of the Demon Claw pressed its tip against Huang Jue’s forehead,

Huang Jue realized he had been wrong. Terribly wrong.

The crimson Demon Claw blazed with a red so vivid it hurt the eyes.

The man before him was actually going to attack him.

He was Chen Ye’s blood relative, wasn’t he?

Even if they were only distant relatives, they were still blood relatives. This man… was actually going to kill him.

Huang Jue’s eyes widened in disbelief.

He wanted to run, but he couldn’t.

Although he had successfully used the Intimate Relationship ability just now, it had consumed a great deal of his Supernatural Power. He had even suffered serious injuries because of it!

Chen Ye’s injuries had yet to heal either, but killing a similarly wounded Sequence Two was easy for him!

What’s more, Huang Jue had violated the God Worshippers’ First Iron Rule: No matter what happens, don’t let the “god” leave your side.

“Brother…”

“I’m your blood relative, your only family!”

Chen Ye’s lips curled into a smile. “Sorry, I really hate God Worshippers!”

Chen Ye only had to thrust the tip of his Demon Claw forward, and the God Worshipper before him would die.

The crisis threatening Xi City would be snuffed out before it could take root.

Huang Jue’s eyes flew open in terror.

Why was this happening?!

I’m your cousin!

My ability didn’t fail!

Why is he attacking me?

No, I don’t want to die!

I don’t want to die!

I refuse to accept this!…

At that moment, Huang Jue’s mind was working faster than it ever had in his life.
