Godslayer: After the Seraph rejected me, I ascended directly to the highest godhood.

Nordic, Asgard.

A colorful rainbow descends from the clouds to the human world, like a bridge connecting the human realm and the divine realm.

At the end of the rainbow, at the entrance to the divine kingdom, stands a gatekeeper holding the key to the rainbow bridge, the 'Holy Rainbow Sword'.

He was clad in golden armor, his figure as imposing as a mountain, silently standing guard there.

Suddenly, a black streak of light streaked across the sky above the bustling city's divine kingdom and landed in front of the gatekeeper.

Those were countless black threads, slowly revealing their form as time passed.

The gatekeeper Heimdall slowly opened his eyes, looked at the black threads in front of him, and frowned.

Loki...

Loki, the god of mischief, dressed in a dark green robe, looked at Heimdall with his narrow eyes and spoke slowly.

"Heimdall, close the Rainbow Bridge connecting the human realm."

Heimdall's expression shifted slightly. "Why? Is it because the Great Summer Emperor inquired about Northern Europe?"

"Should Asgard be afraid of the Great Heavenly Lord? Should we cower like turtles?"

Loki chuckled. "This is none of your business. It's Odin's order, the king of the gods. Are you going to disobey Odin?"

Upon hearing Odin, Heimdall's expression changed. "Are you sure?"

Odin, the king of the gods, is the most powerful supreme god on earth, and yesterday the Hindu temple sent Vishnu to assist him.

Why fear a Great Heavenly Venerable?

“Whether you listen or not is up to you, but if Odin blames you…” Loki’s tone carried a hint of threat.

Heimdall lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then slowly walked to the head of the Rainbow Bridge and drew the Holy Rainbow Sword from his back.

Swish!

The Holy Rainbow Sword was inserted into the bridgehead, just as he was about to spin the sword and close the Rainbow Bridge.

hum!

A surge of divine power emanated from the Asgardian temple, startling Loki and Heimdall, who both looked towards the temple.

"It's the divine power fluctuation from the Heavenly Venerable's challenge! Impossible! There should still be a day before the Heavenly Venerable inquires the Dao!"

Loki sensed that familiar divine power, and his expression changed drastically.

He quickly turned around and shouted, "What are you all standing there for? Close the Rainbow Bridge!"

Heimdall was taken aback and immediately began to spin the Holy Rainbow Sword with both hands, but no matter how hard he tried, the Holy Rainbow Sword did not budge.

He looked at the longsword and saw that on the hilt of the Holy Rainbow Sword, two streams of divine power, one black and one white, acted like a lock, firmly locking the longsword in place.

"Odin, come out and see me!"

A voice resounded throughout Asgard.

Loki and Heimdall looked towards the other side of the Rainbow Bridge and saw an old man wearing straw sandals and a black and white yin-yang robe.

He strolled over unhurriedly, his wide sleeves fluttering in the wind.

The immortal clouds beneath the Taoist's feet appeared and disappeared, sometimes far away in the sky, sometimes close at hand, like an untouchable immortal.

Heimdall and Loki's eyes widened in surprise. They had no idea where the Taoist had come from, and how he had appeared without the entire Asgard noticing.

But a name rose in their minds.

—Taiqing Daode Tianzun!

Upon seeing this, a ruthless glint appeared in Loki's eyes.

The Great Xia Heavenly Venerable's early arrival must have some plans. His own avatar has not yet returned to Asgard, so the situation of the Great Xia Heavenly Venerable is unclear.

But the only thing that can be confirmed is that the Heavenly Venerable of the Great Summer arrived early, which must have been for a reason.

"Get out of the way, I'll turn it off!"

He shoved Heimdall aside, and black threads flew out from his palm, enveloping and locking the Yin and Yang energies of the Holy Rainbow Sword.

Click!

Under this trick, the Holy Rainbow Sword slowly began to rotate, and the Rainbow Bridge began to slowly disappear.

The Moral Lord, walking on the bridge, calmly looked at Loki and gently waved his robe.

The Holy Rainbow Sword instantly reversed direction, flying out of the bridgehead at an astonishing speed and slicing across Loki's neck.

In an instant, blood gushed out, Loki's head flew high into the air, his incredible eyes wide open.

Ok?

The Taoist priest let out a soft exclamation, glanced at Loki's corpse, and frowned slightly.

"She's really a tough one to deal with."

The Taoist shook his head slightly; his purpose in coming here was not to kill the god.

He continued onward, his gaze sweeping over the magnificent temple.

"Since you refuse to come out and see me, then don't blame me for coming to visit you!"

The Celestial Lord of Morality waved his black and white robe once more, and gently touched the dazed Heimdall with his slender fingertips.

The latter instantly transformed into a large blue ox.

The Celestial Venerable of Morality flashed and sat atop the great blue ox, patting it gently. "The journey to the temple is still quite long, and we're looking for a mount. You're a perfect choice."

As the Taoist slapped down, a profound yin and yang energy entered Heimdall's body.

The Supreme Lord of Morality looked up at the temple and slowly said, "Let's go."

Upon hearing this, the large blue ox beneath him began to move forward uncontrollably.

And so, a Taoist priest with an air of otherworldly wisdom, and a seemingly weary blue ox, slowly made their way towards the temple...

……

Mist!

Loki's clone, dragging his heavily injured body and rushing back to Asgard at top speed, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Enveloped in a pale mist, Loki could clearly sense that the divine will that existed within this clone was fading away.

The only possibility for this to happen is that the original body was killed and resurrected using the human circle's substitution array.

As his consciousness began to fade, Loki's expression changed drastically.

It's obvious that something bad happened in Asgard.

At this juncture, the only thing that could cause an accident in Asgard is the challenge issued by the Great Heavenly Lord.

Then, considering that the gods of the Great Xia were not in Great Xia, they planned to use a feint to destroy the weakest of the four great divine kingdoms, the City of the Sun in Egypt.

"What a brilliant plan! They anticipated that I would discover that the Great Xia Dynasty was just an empty shell, so the Great Xia Heavenly Venerable went to Asgard ahead of time!"

Loki clenched his fist; less than ten seconds remained before his consciousness completely dissipated.

In other words, he has no chance of returning to Asgard.

No wonder those two gods from Kunlun Ruins didn't come to hunt us down!

Loki gritted his teeth slightly, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

"Heh, even if I can't return to Asgard, Great Xia won't escape this calamity."

Loki was surrounded by countless black threads that transformed into two streaks of light, which flew off to the two divine kingdoms closest to Great Xia.

"You've really gotten off easy, but destroying the Great Xia Dynasty can be considered as achieving our goal..."

Before he could finish speaking, Loki's clone collapsed to the ground, corroded into a pool of blood by the pale mist.

In Loki's final moments, two streams of black light coalesced.

They flew off to the Hindu temple and the Egyptian city of Sun respectively...
