If Heaven hadn't given birth to me, I would be arrogant.

As soon as Zong Ze finished speaking, the sky darkened completely, with huge dark clouds churning and rolling wildly, and the sound of thunder could be faintly heard from the sky.

At first, Cordimo didn't react. He stood there waiting for the boy in front of him to kneel down, cry and apologize to him, and beg for forgiveness.

However, the boy who was supposed to kneel did not kneel. Instead, he kept looking up at the sky, seemingly muttering something. After listening for a while, Cordimo finally heard him say, "Ah, what a pity, such a good place has been ruined!"

Instinctively, Cordimo followed Zongze's gaze to the sky, and in that one glance, Cordimo could no longer look away!

"God... God punish... you...!"

As for the Heavenly Tribulation, and the divine punishment that is said to be able to be triggered by experts at the Divine Wrath Realm in the Sacred Word Outer Continent, Cordimo had not personally experienced it, but he had the good fortune to have witnessed experts at the Divine Wrath Realm encounter divine punishment twice.

Unfortunately, both powerful figures were reduced to ashes in the divine punishment, and that terrifying scene still lingers in Cordimo's mind.

Speaking of which, Cordimo has been in the position of leader of the Sirius Gang for over eighty years; otherwise, the Sirius Gang would not be considering choosing a new successor.

Over the past eighty years, Cordimo has gained more than just power in his position as gang leader; he has also received cultivation opportunities that others cannot have, such as good medicinal herbs and excellent cultivation techniques. Cordimo has encountered many of these.

However, Cordimo did not successfully advance to the God's Wrath realm using these resources; Cordimo had ulterior motives behind this.

He didn't think he was stronger than those two powerful beings at the Divine Wrath Realm who died under divine punishment. Even they turned to ashes in the divine punishment, so Cordimo himself had no confidence.

Therefore, Cordimo has been constantly suppressing his strength to prevent himself from reaching the God's Wrath realm too quickly.

In his view, although he would eventually have to reach that point, he had to see his descendants become the leaders of the Sirius Gang, and he had to make the Ke family the number one family in the Sirius Gang.

This is why Cordimo hates Zongze so much. He only had one son, Cole. With Cole dead, it's as if he has nothing left. The Cole family has become an impossible existence.

But regardless, Cordimo's choice shows one thing: he is terrified of death, so much so that he dares not face divine punishment calmly and bravely challenge it like other masters.

But what did Cordimo see now?

He witnessed divine punishment, exactly the same divine punishment he had seen before, even the rumbling lightning that was brewing was exactly the same divine punishment.

He didn't know what a heavenly tribulation was, so at this moment, he subconsciously thought that the divine punishment was brought by Zong Ze. At this moment, many things flashed through Cordimo's mind, and he seemed to understand something.

It is said that even gods get lonely and bored, so sometimes they will suppress their powers and reincarnate to experience the joys of being an ordinary person.

It is said that these gods are beings at the same level as the main gods, and their strength will increase once they have completely awakened after experiencing the life of an ordinary person.

However, it is said that very few main gods dare to do this, because after reincarnation, their strength is the same as that of ordinary people. If they are found by other gods or enemies, then they are completely finished!

It is obvious that Zong Ze in front of him is the reincarnation of the main god, which explains why he was able to advance to the Martial Venerable level without restraint on the Holy Word Continent, and why he is calm and fearless when facing me.

He naturally had no powerful backer, because he himself was his own greatest backer—the supreme god! The god who destroyed the Water God Temple back then was said to be just an ordinary god.

"Pfft!"

Cordimo, who had been insisting that Zongze kneel down and apologize, finally knelt down, facing Zongze. He knew very well that he could not escape the wrath of the Supreme God!

"Your esteemed Lord God, your loyal servant knows he was wrong, please forgive me!"

Cordimo's pleading voice was tinged with fear, and his two disciples, who hadn't reacted at first, felt their legs go weak and collapsed to the ground upon hearing Cordimo's pleas for mercy.

"Hey, is this for real?"

Zong Ze was delighted. In fact, what he was most worried about was the time when he would attract the heavenly tribulation. If Cordimo realized something was wrong during the period when the heavenly tribulation was gathering and unleashing its power, he might choose to escape.

At that time, it would be really difficult for him to chase after Cordimo with the Heavenly Tribulation. If Cordimo ran into the city, would he also take the Heavenly Tribulation with him?

But now, instead of running away, Cordimo suddenly knelt down, which reassured Zong Ze a lot. However, Cordimo's pleas for mercy left Zong Ze stunned for a long time!

Seeing that the lightning had fully gathered, Zong Ze sat down cross-legged facing Cordimo. Breaking through the Core Formation to Nascent Soul was a major event in the cultivation world, so Zong Ze knew that the power of his tribulation this time would definitely not be small, so he needed to calm down and deal with it!

However, Zong Ze decided to let Cordimo, who was trembling, know the truth: "You're wrong. I'm not some kind of god. What you call divine punishment is called heavenly tribulation here!"

Zong Ze smiled broadly, looking at the astonished Cordimo: "I can tell you, I am not a god. On the contrary, I am the enemy of gods. In your Holy Word Continent and Holy Word Outer Land, I should be called—a demon!"

"magic?"

Cordimo didn't react at first, but he quickly realized what was happening. He was terrified and tried to stand up, but the pressure of the heavenly tribulation had already descended, and he found himself completely unable to move.

"You're a demon? You're actually a demon? Impossible, this is impossible, weren't all the demons dead long ago?"

Cordimo exclaimed!

"That's what the gods you claim to be said!"

Zong Ze smiled at Codimo: "You dare to believe the words of the gods? That's a huge joke. But it's too late for you to know now. Although I have the ability to summon this heavenly tribulation, I have no way to dispel it!"

Because this was a tribulation specifically designed for me. It's truly a pity that you all have to go through this tribulation with me; I'm very sorry!

At this point, Zong Ze glanced at Kotaer, who was slumped on the ground: "Don't worry, I said I would come to see you here in the future as long as I live!"
