Seeing the gods appear, Su Ming felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted from his heart, and his long-tense nerves finally relaxed. A long-lost smile bloomed on his face.

I can finally relax a bit.

Su Ming suddenly collapsed to the ground, releasing the power of the Nine Provinces Cauldron he carried. A series of waves of pain surged through his body, attempting to erode his will.

However, his indestructible body was like an unbreakable shield, firmly protecting every inch of his skin and bones; while the power of the Heavenly Court's origin was like a babbling brook, nourishing his body and mind, so that although the pain was still there, it was no longer as unbearable as before, as if it were being gently soothed by a soft spring breeze.

As his emotions calmed down, Su Ming gradually returned to his usual self. Beneath this calm, however, a trace of regret quietly crept into his heart.

He chuckled self-deprecatingly and muttered a complaint, "Although I've resolved the immediate crisis, I still couldn't personally slay that high and mighty god. It's truly a bit of a letdown."

Just as Su Ming was lost in his thoughts, two figures slowly entered his line of sight: Yuanshi Tianzun and Yang Jin.

The two gods' gazes lingered on the protagonist for a moment before turning to Yang Jian's divine incarnation in mid-air.

"Hello, I am Yang Jin."

Yang Jian smiled and said, "Hello, I am Yang Jian."

“You’ve found a good successor,” Yang Jin said.

Yang Jian nodded in agreement, a strange light flashing in his eyes: "Indeed, when he said he would display the prowess of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, I thought he was just boasting. Now it seems I underestimated him. He not only did it, but he did it better than anyone else."

"You did very well, exceeding our expectations." Yuanshi Tianzun looked at Su Ming, his voice gentle and deep.

Despite being praised so highly by the two, Su Ming felt a secret sense of satisfaction. However, at that moment, a thought flashed through his mind like lightning—in the original story, it was Loki's trick that made Lin Qiye leave Cangnan.

This led to the disappearance of Cangnan. Thinking of this, Su Ming's expression instantly became serious. He was worried that Lin Qiye would also repeat the same mistake and fall into the enemy's trap.

"No, I have to go find Lin Qiye and make sure he's safe." Before Su Ming finished speaking, he had already moved.

Seeing this, Yuanshi Tianzun gently raised his hand, and an invisible force steadily pressed the protagonist down. He smiled and shook his head.

"The situation over there will be handled by someone else. What you need to do now is adjust your mindset."

Upon hearing this, Su Ming lay down completely, enjoying the gentle healing effect of the Heavenly Court's essence within his body.

.......

Chen Muyi, wearing only a dark red cloak, hurriedly came to Lin Qiye's side, his eyes full of worry. He frowned and looked into Lin Qiye's eyes: "Qiye, Si Xiaonan has defected. Come with me to chase after them."

"What?" Lin Qiye asked incredulously. "What happened?"

"There's no time, hurry up and come with me." Chen Muye grabbed Lin Qiye's wrist and ran quickly in one direction at an incredible speed.

Just as Lin Qiye was about to leave Cangnan, a mysterious and unpredictable barrier suddenly appeared in front of him.

Faced with this sudden turn of events, Lin Qiye and Chen Muye had no time to react. As if pulled by an invisible force, they were violently pulled into the barrier, their bodies involuntarily staggering backward, their eyes filled with astonishment and confusion at this strange sight.

Just then, it seemed as if a crack had been torn open in the sky, and Venus, the god of the Great Xia Dynasty, slowly descended. He wore a flowing robe, his hair was as white as frost, and he held a whisk in his hand.

Venus stroked his long beard and looked at Lin Qiye with a kind smile, his eyes full of affection for his junior.

"Young friend, we can't go any further ahead." Venus's voice was gentle yet powerful, as if it could penetrate the heart.

Chen Muye's expression turned ugly. He had meticulously planned to take advantage of Lin Qiye's departure from Cangnan, but these Great Xia gods were like ghosts, always appearing to sabotage him when he was about to succeed.

Seeing that he had been exposed, Loki didn't bother to hide it anymore. Chen Muye was surrounded by black smoke, and when the smoke dissipated...

A tall, thin Western man slowly appeared.

Lin Qiye had already distanced himself and was keeping a close eye on Loki.

"You've ruined this plan. Well, see you next time."

As soon as he finished speaking, he tried to turn around and run away, hoping to find a glimmer of hope. However, Venus's divine power barrier was like an insurmountable chasm, completely blocking his way out.

Although Loki was extremely fast, he appeared as slow as a snail in front of Venus, the god of the Great Xia Dynasty.

In desperation, Loki attempted to use his clone technique to confuse his opponent and create an opportunity to escape.

However, Venus had already seen through his intentions. With a slight smile, he flicked his whisk, and a dazzling light, like lightning, ripped through the night sky, striking one of Loki's clones with pinpoint accuracy. The clone instantly turned into a wisp of smoke and vanished into the air.

"Come in your true form next time," Venus laughed, casually slashing down with his whisk, and the last Loki disappeared.

Faced with this sudden turn of events, Lin Qiye was filled with doubt and confusion. Gazing into Taibai Jinxing's deep, unfathomable eyes, he couldn't help but wonder, "Why can't I leave Cangnan? What secret lies hidden behind this?"

Just as Lin Qiye was deep in thought, a ripple suddenly appeared in the sky, and the figure of Yuanshi Tianzun slowly emerged, with Su Ming standing beside him.

The gaze of the Primordial Celestial Lord fell upon Lin Qiye, his eyes revealing a hint of approval and expectation.

"Lin Qiye, I already know the doubts in your heart. The reason I am stopping you from leaving Cangnan today is because there is a major event concerning your fate that you need to know in advance."

Lin Qiye vaguely sensed that this matter might involve something very serious.

He had never left Cangnan City since he was a child. Even during the recruit training, the Night Watchmen specially changed the location to Cangnan.

Lin Qiye looked up at Yuanshi Tianzun, who was waiting for his answer.

"Ten years ago, Zeus foresaw the fate of the world and prophesied that a powerful person would appear in Cangnan City of Great Xia."

Subsequently, in order to eliminate this person, Gaia, the Earth Mother Goddess, after obtaining the [Shiva's Wrath], spared no effort to expend her divine power and write a name on parchment.

Cangnan City.

Lin Qiye's eyes widened.

"Then, Cangnan City disappeared as if it had been wiped off the face of the earth."

Not even a clod of earth, a piece of paper, or a drop of blood remained.

The entire city, with its million inhabitants, was wiped out.

As for why they still exist, it's all because of you, Lin Qiye.

The words of the Primordial Celestial Venerable were like a bombshell, creating a massive upheaval in Lin Qiye's heart. His eyes widened, his pupils flashing with disbelief.
