In the night sky, the stars sparkle, harboring the murderous intent from Heaven’s Punishment.

The strategic weapon meant to descend upon Earth in the guise of destruction now lingers outside the atmosphere, with only terrifying heat simmering and spreading, as if it could set the night sky ablaze.

For Cheng Youyu, battle in the Demigod Domain is beyond his reach; he knows his position clearly, just a mere Fifth Rank little Karimi, and if he doesn’t flee now, he might not even leave a whole corpse behind.

Especially for Xia Zhi, her state is very poor, as this impoverished girl weakly leans on his back, her rain-drenched face pale and bloodless, her eyes oscillating between terror and confusion, murmuring something repeatedly, as if caught in a nightmare or under an evil spell.

The Central Spirit Core Institute is roaring everywhere, the nano warriors from the Dawn Combat Sequence are sweeping away the Demon Hunters from the Judgement Court, and the teachers and students are evacuating into air raid shelters.

With the ground ablaze in stormy rain, he wiped the rain off his face, unsure where to go.

In the Zen Temple, the sound of destruction resonated loudly, golden and silver sword lights soared into the sky, only to be cut down by fleeting blade marks, the steep mountains suddenly flattened and huge boulders rolled swiftly down.

Cheng Youyu widened his eyes and ran madly, yet he still couldn’t outrun the giant rock that fell like a meteor; he could even hear the howling wind as he and the girl on his back were about to be smashed into pulp!

"Star Shifting!"

At the crucial moment, Old Master Si stormed out in an old car, displaying his power.

The trajectory of the falling boulder bizarrely deviated, crashing into an experimental building with a thunderous noise.

"Oh hell, old man you finally came!"

Seeing the old fellow, Cheng Youyu rejoiced: "Quick, see what’s wrong with this girl."

Unexpectedly, the back door of the car opened, and Su Youxia, wearing sunglasses and carrying a heavy weapon box, stepped out, her noble and cold aura like a blade piercing Fatty’s heart, rendering him speechless.

"Shut up, hand her over."

No need for identity confirmation, no need for words.

With a single sentence’s momentum, Su Youxia established her dominance.

With a swoosh, the rain curtain was forcibly opened as Jiang Ziyue appeared behind Fatty with a smirk, injecting a sedative into the girl’s buttocks with lightning speed.

Few knew why Professor Cheng favored this girl from an ordinary background; it wasn’t just because she was a victim of the Third Law Experiment years ago, but most importantly, she vaguely remembered some things.

During her college years, she visited a psychologist once.

In that psychological consultation, she revealed from her own mouth that there was a red demon in her dreams.

It was due to that consultation that Professor Cheng began to take her seriously.

"According to Zero’s intelligence, the reason why that experiment was conducted so secretly at the time is thanks to Qiongqi Venerable’s Authority. They did not leave traces, but were erased by that supreme power. Now that Qiongqi Venerable’s Authority is loosening, some things are surfacing."

Jiang Ziyue took the girl, embraced her around the waist, and placed her into the back seat of the car: "Not easy, huh."

Su Youxia turned on a flashlight, inspected the girl’s eyes, and confirmed there was no issue, then pulled up two photos on her phone, switching back and forth: "Come, take a look, who is the red demon in your memory?"

Cheng Youyu was stunned, as the photos displayed two people who were, astonishingly, the Vice Chairmen of the Ether Association!

Rhein, Lin Dong!

Mr. Solomon’s identity remains a mystery, but now more clues point to the two Vice Chairmen, since they both hold high positions, are Ninth Rank Taixu Gods, and their appearances coincide with the timeline!

Xia Zhi shrank in the back seat, shivering, her gaze flitting uncertainly between the two photos.

"Tell me, who is it?"

Pusong Road No. 24, the old site of Huayan Temple, was enveloped by the raging storm.

This is a national cultural heritage preservation site, a centuries-old Buddhist temple founded during the Ming Dynasty, the starting place of the Golden Age, where Taixing and Taihua studied four centuries ago, fostering the popularity of Buddhism.

This temple has been abandoned for many years now, two hundred years ago Taixing perished in the Ancient God Chaos worthy of historical record, and seldom returned thereafter. Recently, another upheaval struck the Order World. Rhein wielded power in the Judgement Court, while Lin Dong of the Night Watcher imprisoned himself here.

This supposed forgotten place resurfaces in the public eye.

With a renewed presence.

"Ultimately, I’m a step too late."

Commander Lu, riding a motorcycle, unveiled a leonine, imposing visage as he removed his helmet, his eyes reflecting the brightly lit temple at the end of the long street, betraying a sense of melancholy. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Because this street was slashed by a piercing sword mark, at the street-side bench’s end sat a decaying old man.

Platinum, akin to a corpse climbing out of a grave, leaning on an iron sword like a cane, raspingly uttered: "You are indeed late; my son already went in, that’s their destined battle."

The street was strewn with charred corpses, residential buildings collapsed into fragments, broken advertisement signs exposed live wires sparking electric arcs, while destroyed hydrants still spouted water.
