Volume 1, Chapter 149: Bold Conjecture, Careful Verification

Fang Yao wanted to stop Jiang Ning.
He was a man who cherished talent, and even if a hundred new lacquer artisans were brought into the Jiupin Studio, they might not produce another Jiang Ning.
Moreover, his balance had already tipped in Jiang Ning's favor.
In his view, moral integrity mattered more than artistic skill.

"You—you've also broken through to the peak of the Divine Astral Realm?" the Thunder King pointed at Old Man Huo in disbelief.

Seeing this, the few of them breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward directly. However, they failed to notice that Bing Meier was walking in the opposite direction.

Faced with this sudden change, Takahashi was dumbfounded, having no idea what was happening. He stood up to ask Muto Eiran for an explanation, but Muto Eiran offered none, simply watching quietly as Zeng Yi exchanged blows with her three subordinates.

By this point, the stalwart man was choked with sobs and unable to speak, a few clear tears sliding down his cheeks. This was something that had never happened to him since stepping out into society; no matter how much hardship or grievance he suffered, he would only weep silently in the depths of his heart, for a real man does not shed tears easily.

At the time when we were holding a meeting to discuss our next steps, I repeatedly and strictly instructed that we must not make a move against the Green-Headed Duck faction yet. Those people had agreed readily enough beforehand, but I never expected that in the blink of an eye, they would strike against the Green-Headed Duck faction.

Having said that, Lin Xue did not even draw her weapon; she directly condensed an ice cone as thick as an embrace and engaged Elder Qi in combat.

Liu Zhen crouched down and asked Ding Qian, but Ding Qian's face was numb, turning a deaf ear to Liu Zhen's words as she stared with vacant eyes at the roaring, blazing fire.

"Your Highness, the Temple of Light also seems to be heading this way. It is estimated they will arrive at the foot of the Sacred Mountain by tonight at the latest," a guard officer reported in a lowered voice.

The two youths, not yet fully mature, had forgotten about the outside world for the moment, focusing wholeheartedly on a gaming screen that was perhaps long obsolete.

She had always been pristine; even after going through a fierce battle, her body remained immaculate, as she detested filthy things like blood more than anything else.

Bai Yongchang had been angered to the point of hospitalization by her that time, but gradually came to accept the reality afterward because Bai Su's attainments in the piano far exceeded his imagination.

"Hmph! You're still somewhat of a figure, Ye Zhan. I don't mind; compared to that, singing and dancing along with everyone else isn't a bad idea either!" The Demon Lord raised an eyebrow and smiled.

While reading Daoist scriptures, Ye Xiao had once entered a profound and abstruse state, gaining some fundamental understanding of spiritual energy.

"Kyle, during the time I was unconscious, did you see the senior?" He gave his junior brother a light kick, not exerting much force—otherwise, he would only end up hurting himself. The blonde youth narrowed his eyes and looked over, a somewhat dazed expression of sleepiness on his face. He paused for nearly a full minute before slowly shaking his head.

"Stop being so narcissistic! The one just now was only the seventy-sixth!" Yimengmeng shouted from behind while releasing an arrow.

Xiao Tong's gaze was profound and distant as he said, "In My eyes, Dugu Xun is nothing more than a reckless brute. No matter how formidable his martial arts may be, he can never assassinate Me."

"Eh? Is that so?" Sarkad wore an indifferent look, while Blue Light gazed at him with a grave expression.

The gentle voice sounded very close, yet in the next second, it seemed to be blown far away by the wind, but Sever found that he could still hear every word with absolute clarity.

The only entity the Creator permitted to enter the 'Supreme Universe'—not a 'Supreme Deity', but a 'Human Monarch'. Because the 'Gate of the Supreme'—the sole pathway to the Supreme Universe, guarded by Adam and Eve, who also served as its gatekeepers—was responsible for selecting those endowed with the talent to become Human Monarchs.

Other matters might be forgivable, but this incident was utterly unforgivable. No matter what, his Celestial Master status had to be stripped away today.
