When the little princess returned to the house, Chen Nan asked in surprise, "You didn't let that lecherous tiger take you away?"
The little devil stammered, "I...I don't have any money on me, could you...give me a little bit?"
"What happened to the money you stole?"
The little princess had no choice but to awkwardly recount some of the events at Shenfeng Academy, which made Chen Nan burst into laughter.
The little princess said angrily, "You scoundrel, no, Chen Nan, stop laughing. Are you going to give it to me or not? You stole the money I 'earned' last time. Give it back to me. I don't have a single penny left."
Chen Nan laughed with extreme satisfaction, never expecting such an outcome. He pulled out a handful of gold coins from his pocket and said, "Take it."
The little princess snatched it away, hugged Xiaoyu, and ran outside. Chen Nan didn't stop her; ever since he learned that the old monster had indeed followed them, he dared not be too harsh on the little princess.
A few days later, the rumors about the God Hand of the City of Sin reached a new level. Thousands of cultivators from all over the continent flocked to the site, and the ancient battlefield was bustling with activity day and night as numerous cultivators searched the area.
Chen Nan hadn't seen the little princess for the past few days, and bored out of his mind, he once again entered the ruins of the divine war. Looking at the figures in the forest, he sighed, "So many people are searching for the ancient god's severed hand. Even if they find it, a fierce battle for it is inevitable. Desire truly is a curse!"
A gentle voice sounded behind him: "Desire can sometimes be a driving force that spurs people forward relentlessly, and sometimes it is like a sweet poison. It can make a person strive for excellence, or it can make a person rush towards destruction like a moth to a flame."
Chen Nan was startled and quickly turned around to look. He saw an old man with a full head of silver hair and an air of otherworldly wisdom appear about three zhang away from him. The old man stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the distant mountains, and said calmly, "Didn't two ancient gods also fight and perish together over a treasure? No one in this world can transcend worldly concerns; even gods are not exempt!"
The old man possessed an air of otherworldly wisdom and profound knowledge, which surprised Chen Nan. He couldn't help but ask, "Are you a Taoist cultivator?"
"Heh, are cultivators so special?"
Chen Nan knew he had encountered a master today. This old man's cultivation level was at least at the fourth level or above, otherwise he would never have been able to appear behind him silently.
"No, I was just asking casually, because cultivators are rare, let alone someone with such profound cultivation as you."
Chen Nan was surprised, as this was completely different from what he had previously known. He asked, "Don't cultivators prefer to avoid being disturbed by the world and always cultivate in secluded places?"
"Some people are as you say, but others have always been involved in worldly affairs. The cultivation methods are different, and the trials they have to undergo are also different."
"Oh, this is the first time I've heard someone say that. You must belong to the latter group?"
The old man laughed and said, "No, I am a martial artist, not a cultivator at all."
"Ah!" Chen Nan was truly shocked this time. He had always thought that the old man in front of him was a Taoist cultivator.
"Young man, you really don't recognize me?"
Chen Nan exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, you are...!"
The old man said, "Didn't I tell you that I've been feeling restless lately and wanted to get out and about? I didn't expect we'd meet again so soon."
Chen Nan's head buzzed, and he stammered, "You are... an old monster? Ah, no, you are the great-grandfather of the Chu Emperor?"
The old man smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right, it's me. It seems we really are destined to meet, hehe..."
In the sweltering summer heat, a chill ran through Chen Nan.
Back then, the old monster's eyes were cloudy and lifeless, his teeth had long since fallen out, his wrinkled skin was like a crumpled piece of paper, and his bald head had only a few sparse strands of hair. Now, the old monster has a mouthful of teeth as white as jade, white hair and a youthful face, and is full of energy, completely different from when he was in the Chu Kingdom's palace.
A strong sense of unease welled up in Chen Nan's heart. It could be said that he was the one who created the old monster today. If he hadn't translated that evil book for the old monster, perhaps the old man standing in front of him would still be the one who could barely walk.
No matter how profound the old monster's cultivation was back then, he had indeed reached the point of exhaustion, and even if he wanted to do evil, he didn't have much time left. However, after practicing the secret techniques in the evil book, he was reborn. The old man before him had undergone a complete transformation, and everything was unpredictable.
Chen Nan still couldn't see through the old man. He didn't know if he had created an unparalleled demon; perhaps the old monster's cultivation had already far surpassed the fifth rank, reaching the sixth level. A legendary sixth-rank expert—just thinking about it was terrifying!
The old monster laughed and said, "Thank you. Now I can live another twenty or thirty years in this world. Living is the greatest happiness!"
Chen Nan forced a smile and said, "Senior, your skills are truly unparalleled! You've actually rejuvenated a second time. Congratulations!"
"This can't be considered a rejuvenation; it's just a matter of extending my life by a few decades."
Chen Nan composed himself and calmed down, then asked, "Are you also here for that unknown treasure in the hands of the Ancient God Duan?"
The old monster gently shook his head and said, "No, I have no interest in it. You know that after I started cultivating that evil book, I needed a lot of fresh blood. Although the livestock slaughtered by the imperial kitchen every day could supply me, they were all animals without any spirit, so the effect was far from ideal."
Upon hearing this, Chen Nan shuddered, a chill running down his spine.
The old monster looked at him and said, "Don't be afraid. I will never follow that evil path of mass slaughter and take the blood of the living. There are plenty of spiritual birds and beasts in the Hundred Thousand Mountains in the central part of the continent. I don't need to break the precept against killing. Taking some blood from those rare beasts every day is enough to sustain me."
Chen Nan felt slightly relieved and asked, "You... intend to stay in the City of Sin for a long time?"
"I plan to stay here for a year and a half."
The old monster chuckled and said, "Did that mischievous little girl from the palace come here with you?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Nan's heart skipped a beat, but since the old monster hadn't explicitly stated that he had abducted the little princess, there was no need for him to bring it up. He forced a smile and said, "Yes, she's very lively, and I don't know where she's run off to play now."
"Keep a close eye on that little girl for me, and make sure she doesn't cause any trouble here."
"I will do my best."
"Hehe, the scenery ahead is nice. I'll go take a look. We can chat again another time."
The old monster walked leisurely forward, and Chen Nan was shocked. The old man only took four or five steps and was already a hundred feet away. With each step he took, he seemed to disappear into thin air and then reappear in another place. Such terrifying cultivation was even more astonishing than Zhuge Chengfeng's "Shrinking the Earth to an Inch" technique in the western border of Chu.
"The old monster's power has indeed greatly improved. It seems that his cultivation has really reached the sixth level. He is probably able to forcibly release the binding force on the little princess now."
Chen Nan's feeling was not an illusion. During his escape from the Chu Kingdom, he had vaguely sensed an exceptionally powerful and terrifying aura—undoubtedly the old monster's. However, that feeling was far less intense than it was now. The powerful aura the old monster was unintentionally emanating was significantly stronger than before. In just over ten days, the old monster's cultivation had made rapid progress, presumably due to his body being filled with renewed vitality, allowing his cultivation to leap to a new level.
Such terrifying cultivation shocked and excited Chen Nan. He vanished a hundred feet away in just four steps, his technique bordering on magic. A martial artist who had cultivated to this level could probably roam the world freely; how could other types of cultivators possibly contend with him!
Chen Nan was deeply wary of the old monster. He did not want to linger in the ruins of the God War, lest he accidentally encounter this unfathomable old man again. He headed towards the City of Sin.
The little princess wanted to join the Divine Wind Academy mainly because she wanted the experts there to help her remove the restrictions on her body; in reality, she wasn't very interested in the academy. However, the vice-principal's words later provoked her, forcing her to join no matter what.
These past two days, the little princess has been frequently seen riding Xiaoyu in the ruins of the God War. She not only wants to find the ancient god's severed left hand to ridicule the vice dean, but also wants to obtain the treasure in the god's hand. She is extremely interested in this.
However, she found nothing at the ruins of the God War. This morning, she stayed in bed instead of continuing her search. She stroked Xiaoyu's fluffy little tiger head and said, "Where is that broken divine hand? I won't be satisfied if I don't find it. Xiaoyu, you've lived in these mountains for over a thousand years. Have you never been here before? Don't you know there's something strange about this place?"
Unbeknownst to the little princess, Tiger King Xiaoyu's face displayed a vivid expression, as if hesitating or making a decision. Finally, as if having made a choice, it broke free from the little princess's embrace and gestured with its little paws.
The little princess was greatly surprised and asked, "Do you know where it is?"
Xiaoyu nodded.
"Great! Take me there quickly!" The little princess happily picked it up and said, "You little thing, you actually know where the magic hand is! Why didn't you tell me before?"
Xiaoyu shook her head at her, feeling wronged, and broke free from her embrace once again.
The little princess said anxiously, "What's wrong? Take me there quickly!"
Xiaoyu shook her head again, and then began to transform. This time, it did not grow bigger, but simply stretched out its pair of pure white wings, grew a crystal-clear jade horn, and finally spread its small wings and suddenly flew out of the window.
"Where are you going, you little brat? Come back right now!" The little princess hurriedly dressed and got out of bed.
A waiter serving tea in the courtyard happened to see Xiaoyu fly into the sky from the window. He was so shocked that he dropped the tea tray and exclaimed in a trembling voice, "I...I'm not seeing things, am I? A flying cat!" He rubbed his eyes carefully to make sure it was indeed a small cat with wings flying into the sky. He exclaimed, "My God, it's one thing for tigers to fly, but even cats can fly! What kind of world is this?!"
The little princess rushed out of the house and saw Xiaoyu disappear into the distance like an arrow of light. She jumped and shouted angrily, "You damned Xiaoyu, you actually abandoned me and ran away by yourself! Come back here..."
The servant in the courtyard stared at the little princess as if she were a demon. The little princess snapped, "What are you looking at?"
The waiter, terrified, ran to the front yard. The little princess frowned; fearing trouble, she quickly tidied herself up inside and left the inn. Walking down the street, countless people marveled at the little princess's beauty, which certainly made her feel vain. It wasn't until two thugs approached her with ill intentions that she snapped out of her daze, and then she ran frantically, escaping into the inn where Chen Nan was staying.
When Chen Nan returned to the inn, he found the little princess in his room. He was quite surprised and chuckled, "Oh, have you changed your mind and want to be my obedient maid?"
"Nonsense! Only a fool would serve you!"
"You didn't run out of money so quickly, did you? Now you're stealing from me again?"
"Nonsense, I would never be a thief."
"Who was rummaging through my house last time?"
"Last time... I just wanted to take back the money I had earned."
Chen Nan was both angry and amused, and laughed, "Hehe, 'rob' is 'earn', 'steal' is 'take', you really know how to excuse yourself."
The little princess said in annoyance, "Why are you saying such harsh things? I really didn't come here for money this time. That damned Xiaoyu abandoned me and ran back to the mountains. I have no ability to protect myself now. Please release the restrictions on me quickly." Xiaoyu's sudden departure had indeed left the little princess deeply saddened, and she was listless at the moment.
"What?! That lecherous tiger actually escaped? Haha... That's hilarious! I knew it was just playing the cute card, taking advantage of your overflowing sympathy, and recuperating at your place. Now that it's almost recovered, it's just left. I never expected that this lecherous tiger to outsmart you, you little devil! It's so funny!"
"You scoundrel, you're still laughing at me now. Quickly release the restrictions on me."
"Who knows if you're telling the truth or not? You're not just trying to gain my sympathy so I'll lift the restrictions on you, are you?"
"It's true, that damned Xiaoyu really ran away. Just now on the street, I ran into two bastards even worse than you. They tried to do something to me. If I hadn't run fast, I would have been in danger. You'd better remove the restrictions on me quickly."
"Are you begging me or scolding me, you little brat? It's better without that lecherous tiger around, so you two won't 'colluded' and cause trouble everywhere."
"Hey, you scum, how dare you talk like that? What do you mean by 'colluding'? Release the restraints right now!"
Chen Nan ultimately didn't dispel the binding force of the "Soul-Trapping Finger" on her; instead, he gave her two sharp raps on the head. The little princess, her eyes brimming with tears of pain, gritted her teeth in hatred, but there was nothing she could do. She didn't want to stay with Chen Nan and wanted to stay at another inn, but the thought of what she might encounter on the street made her afraid. Although Chen Nan wasn't a good person in her eyes either, he was still better than those thugs, so in the end, she booked another room at the inn.
Over the next two days, the little princess kept pestering Chen Nan to restore her powers. When Chen Nan was pushed to the limit, he threatened her to serve him in bed in order to get a moment of peace.
On the third day, Xiaoyu, who had been missing for three days, suddenly appeared out of nowhere and barged into Chennan's house.
The little princess was overjoyed to see the Tiger King again. Just as she was about to step forward, the Tiger King suddenly took a step back, opened his mouth and spat out something sparkling, then quickly shrank and pounced into her arms.
"You heartless little brat, Xiaoyu! You abandoned me and ran off for three days! How come you're back now?"
Xiaoyu looked at the little princess with a wronged expression, and then stretched out a little tiger paw and pointed to the ground.
The little princess looked down at the ground and exclaimed in surprise, "This is...!"
Chen Nan was already captivated by the glowing object on the ground, his eyes fixed on it. It was a hand bone as white as jade, but it didn't give off a sinister or terrifying feeling. On the contrary, it exuded a holy aura, and surprisingly, it emitted a faint light, making it appear incredibly sacred.
The little princess exclaimed happily, "This must be the severed left hand of the ancient god! Xiaoyu, you are amazing!" She tossed Xiaoyu into the air, caught her in her arms, and then bent down to pick up the hand bone.
"Wait a minute, this... is a right hand bone." The little princess exclaimed in surprise.
Chen Nan was also incredibly astonished, saying, "This should be the hand bone of an ancient god. The physiques of gods and humans are indeed different. A piece of withered bone that's thousands of years old is still emitting a faint glow. It's truly peculiar. But why does it contradict the rumors? How can it be a right hand bone?"
The two of them turned their gaze to Tiger King Xiaoyu, who put on an innocent look and shook her little tiger head.
Chen Nan said, "This lecherous tiger is truly a master of disguise; it can even impersonate others. It must know the secrets of the ancient god, otherwise how could it have retrieved this hand bone?"
The little princess also said, "Xiaoyu, do you know somewhere where a shocking secret is hidden? Please take me there!"
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu's little tiger paws thrashed about, and its head shook like a rattle. It was terrified, its eyes filled with fear.
Chen Nan stepped forward and threatened, "You lecherous tiger, if you don't take us there, I'll eat tiger meat and drink tiger bone wine today."
The little princess hurriedly stood in front of him and said, "Don't scare Xiaoyu." Xiaoyu didn't seem to be afraid of Chen Nan at all, and opened her small mouth to let out a low growl.
"You lecherous tiger, you dare to be defiant? Watch how I deal with you!" Chen Nan turned around, grabbed a dirty piece of clothing from the bed, and tried to stuff it into the tiger king's mouth. Xiao Yu first made a vomiting gesture, then quickly shut her mouth. The little princess was amused and burst into laughter.
Chen Nan cursed, "You lecherous tiger, you've really become a master at it! Your expressions are so rich. Don't try to fool me and distract me. If you don't take us, don't blame me for being impolite."
Xiaoyu looked at the little princess pleadingly, her expression pitiful. The little princess hugged her tighter and said, "Don't be afraid. If you don't want to take me, I won't force you. Just don't suddenly leave me again, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu nodded vigorously at the fluffy little tiger head.
Chen Nan was now certain that the Tiger King knew of a mysterious place. He said to the little princess, "Don't protect this lustful tiger. It must know a huge secret."
"No, I would never force Xiaoyu to do anything, unlike someone who threatens others all day long."
Chen Nan thought for a moment and decided he shouldn't push too hard. He resolved to find an opportunity later to gradually coax the Tiger King into revealing the secret. At this moment, his gaze towards Xiao Yu changed. This Tiger King, whose blood flowed with both the blood of an Eastern White Tiger and a Western Demon Tiger, was far more complex than it appeared. Not only did it possess some knowledge of transformation techniques, but it also knew of an incredibly strange place. What kind of place was it? It even contained divine bones; it must be an exceptionally mysterious location.
The little princess was overjoyed that Xiaoyu was able to bring back a divine bone. She stroked Xiaoyu's shiny, soft fur and said, "Later I must give that arrogant vice-dean a good thrashing, no, I must teach that bad old man a good lesson." With that, she picked up Xiaoyu and ran outside.
"Hey, little devil, where are you going?"
"Chen Nan, you can wait at Shenfeng Academy to watch the show. I'll be there in a bit." The little princess rode her transformed Xiao Yu and soared into the sky.
Chen Nan's heart skipped a beat as he watched her fly straight towards the ruins of the Gods' War. He muttered to himself, "No way, the little devil wouldn't be that ruthless, would she?!"
Jade, now a colossal creature, carried the little princess as they flew over the City of Sin, eliciting gasps of astonishment.
"My God, the Flying Tiger Bandit!"
"Wasn't she captured by the Kamikaze Academy?"
...
In no time, the little princess arrived above the ruins of the divine war, where many cultivators on the ground spotted her.
"The Flying Tiger Thief..."
"It's that awful girl who tricked us last time..."
...
Xiaoyu hovered above the ruins of the God War. The little princess rushed down and shouted, "This time I really found the severed hand of the ancient god. Look..." As she shouted, she waved the ancient god's hand bone, which was emitting a faint light.
The cultivators below initially continued their tirade, assuming she had returned to cause trouble. However, when they saw the ancient god's hand bone, pure white as jade and radiating light, they were all stunned, and not a single one uttered a sound of rebuke. After a moment of silence, the clamor resumed:
"Hey, little girl, come down here."
"Little girl, I will teach you a peerless martial art in exchange for the divine bone in your hand."
"Little sister, what exactly is the ancient god holding in his hand?"
...
The little princess feigned innocence and said, "This broken bone is no fun at all. Whoever wants it, I'll give it to them."
Countless hands stretched out from below, waving continuously into the air.
"There are too many people, I don't know who to give it to. How about this, whoever arrives at the City of Sin first, I will give the divine bone to them, and at the same time tell them a huge secret." Xiaoyu carried the little princess and flew towards the City of Sin, with countless cultivators on the ground frantically following.
The little princess smiled smugly and muttered to herself, "That old geezer will definitely teach you a lesson this time!" Suddenly, several dragon roars rang out behind her. She turned around and was shocked to see that not only were dozens of magicians floating in the sky, but also more than a dozen dragon knights riding flying dragons chasing after her.
"Little Jade, run!" The little princess wasn't worried about the magicians; even if they could fly, their speed was no match for Little Jade's. She was only worried about the dozen or so dragon riders. The dragons were probably not much slower than Little Jade, and if they caught up with her, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Xiaoyu glanced back at the flying dragons with a disdainful look, and continued flying at a leisurely pace until the dragons were about to catch up. Then she suddenly accelerated, leaving them far behind.
"Haha, Xiaoyu, you're amazing! Don't rush back right away. Keep circling around them in the air while we wait for the people on the ground." The little princess was no longer flustered. Xiaoyu worked even harder after receiving the praise, constantly circling around the dragons behind her in the air. The dragon riders were furious but helpless.
An hour later, the little princess led thousands of people to the City of Sin. The city's residents were terrified as they looked at the magicians and dragon knights in the sky and the vast army of cultivators on the ground.
The little princess exclaimed, "So many people are arriving at the same time again, and I still don't know who to give it to..."
Discontent began to emerge from the crowd:
"Little girl, you're playing tricks on us again!"
"That wretched little brat!"
...
The little princess hurriedly cried out, "I didn't lie to you. It's just a broken bone. What use is it to me? If you don't want it, fine. I'll give it to Shenfeng Academy." With that, she rode Xiaoyu towards Shenfeng Academy.
Many people had already guessed that the little princess seemed to be targeting Shenfeng Academy, but even if they guessed it, no one was willing to stop and continue following. Among the crowd were many students from Shenfeng Academy, who were secretly anxious but helpless.
Soon, an army of thousands of cultivators had surged outside the Divine Wind Academy. The teachers and students in the academy had already heard the commotion in the city, but they were still stunned when they learned that thousands of people had gathered outside the academy. The vice-dean led several dozen students out first, and seeing so many cultivators blocking the academy's entrance, he couldn't help but frown.
The little princess, riding on her jade pendant, flew above the vice-principal and said, "You old codger, you said you'd let me join the Divine Wind Academy if I found the ancient god's severed hand, right?"
"Look what this is!" The little princess showed off the ancient god's hand bone and said, "Here you go." With that, she threw the divine bone to the vice dean.
Someone among the cultivators shouted, "Charge!" Dragon knights, mages, and warriors approached the vice dean from the air and the ground.
The vice-dean shrieked, "Heavens! So you're the one who brought all these people here! You little troublemaker, you've ruined Shenfeng Academy! You're such a jinx!"
"Serves you right, you old geezer! Who told you to make things difficult for me?" The little princess had an expression that said, "You're absolutely infuriating."
The vice dean was so angry he was about to vomit blood; his eyebrows and mustache were twitching incessantly.
Chen Nan stood on a tall building of Shenfeng Academy and shouted to the little princess, "Little devil, come here quickly."
The little princess hesitated for a moment upon seeing Chen Nan, but ultimately ordered Xiao Yu to fly over. Chen Nan kicked away the tiger king, which was baring its teeth and claws at him, then grabbed the little princess, pinched her rosy cheeks, and said, "You little brat, you really are a troublemaker! You've made such a scene!"
Outside the Divine Wind Academy, a cacophony of voices erupted, an impending uproar. Countless cultivators on the ground shouted and clamored, while the air was filled with figures. Many mages floated in the air, gathering their magical power, and dozens of dragon knights rode their dragons and wyverns, flying back and forth…
The little princess was also a little scared at this point. Letting Chen Nan pinch her cheeks, she said in a trembling voice, "They...they won't tear down Shenfeng Academy, will they?"
"Now you're scared? A massive battle between thousands of cultivators will shock the entire cultivation world. If blood flows like a river today, your name will be recorded in the annals of cultivation history, and of course, it will be a name that everyone will despise."
The little princess felt a pang of guilt and reassured herself, "It's not that serious, everything will be alright!"
Chen Nan felt a little angry and hit her smooth forehead hard, making the little princess almost cry.
"Ouch, you scoundrel...it hurts so much..."
Chen Nan ignored her and picked up the tiger king, which had shrunk to the size of a kitten, saying, "You lecherous tiger and the little devil are in cahoots, full of secrets. You must know an extremely mysterious place. If you don't tell me where you found the divine bone, I'll stew you."
The little princess cried out in distress, "You scoundrel, give Xiaoyu back to me!"
"Roar!" Suddenly, a deafening dragon's roar resounded from the depths of the Divine Wind Academy. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiaoyu broke free from Chen Nan's grasp and jumped into the little princess's arms.
A deafening dragon's roar, like thunder, echoed across the sky above Shenfeng Academy, causing the cultivators who had come for the Divine Hand to be terrified as they surrounded the academy's gates.
A beam of green light shot into the sky from within the academy, then quickly stabilized high in the air. It was a colossal creature, thirty zhang long, with green scales, a ferocious dragon head, a thick tail, and broad dragon wings—clearly a fourth-order dragon.
The giant dragon stirred up a fierce gust of wind and flew to the sky above the academy gate. Its massive body, like a green cloud, blocked out the sun, and a huge shadow appeared on the ground. Those cultivators in the shadow felt an indescribable fear.
The following is an interview with two characters from the world of Shenmu by the author, Chen Dong:
Chen Dong: "Little girl, unfortunately, I have some very bad news for you. You have incurred the wrath of heaven and the hatred of the people. Thirty-six percent of the world's population wants to strangle you. So... well... I think... you can finally rest in peace soon."
Little Devil: "You dare?! Satan is my little brother, Shakyamuni is my follower, Jehovah is my attendant, and the Creator is my elder brother. You dare to mess with me? Hmph, you'll never have a moment's peace, whether you're in heaven or on earth. Hmph, 36 percent of people curse me, but why don't you mention that 27 percent of people really like me? Hmph, if those 36 percent dare to curse me again, don't blame me for being impolite. I curse you to be without a penis."
Then the little princess turned to face another space outside the void, stuck out her tongue at the thirty-six percent of people, and made a face, saying: "Hmph hmph hmph hmph, my name is Little Devil. You want me to become meek and submissive, to become a hypocritical little angel? Hmph hmph hmph hmph, unless the sun rises in the north and sets in the south."
Chen Dong slammed his fist on the table in anger: "How dare you! I am also one of those thirty-six percent. Don't forget that I am the ruler in the world of the Tomb of the Gods. That day cannot blind me, that land cannot bury my heart, and all living beings understand my will. The gods and Buddhas who try to obstruct me can only vanish into thin air! Whether you are a princess or a slave is entirely up to me."
The little devil patted his chest and grinned, "I'm so scared... Hehehehehe, trying to scare me? I grew up with Satan. Go disfigure yourself first, then come back and try again. Don't forget, I've already seen the future. In the sixth world of the Tomb of the Gods that you created, I'm still alive. If you want to kill me, you'll have to overthrow the entire Tomb of the Gods world and rebuild it, hehehehehehe. Otherwise, I can't be killed before that, hehehehehehe."
Chen Dong collapsed to the ground, muttering, "Who leaked the secrets of heaven..."
Just then, a tremendous force surged from the sky, an aura of world-destroying power sweeping across the entire world. Dark clouds rolled and towering waves surged, as a black-haired young man, riding on the rolling black clouds, flew swiftly from afar. His killing intent soared to the heavens, and countless blood-red sharp rays could be vaguely seen emanating from his body, the elusive killing intent reaching straight to the heavens. The newcomer was like a god or a demon, his eyes flashing with cold light like lightning as he scanned the little princess and Chen Dong.
The little princess was so frightened that she immediately ran far away, her voice trembling as she said, "Chen Nan...you...why are you here too? We...what happened before was all a misunderstanding, you...you don't come any closer."
Chen Nan ignored the little princess and coldly addressed Chen Dong, saying, "Why did you arrange things for me in such a... such a way in the early stages..."
Chen Dong hurriedly said, "Brother, wasn't I just trying to let you experience all walks of life? You're a BOSS who grows slowly. Aren't you already incredibly powerful now? Oh, no, incredibly powerful in terms of demonic influence."
Chen Nan said coldly, "Why did you give me the title of a scoundrel? Isn't this an insult to my future image?" He stomped heavily in the air, causing the sky to shatter and the earth to crack.
Chen Dong wiped away a cold sweat and whispered, "Uh, even a scoundrel is a supreme scoundrel. You're getting so arrogant that you're almost XXXXXXXXX. Hehe, calm down. I'll go roast some angel wings and steam some dragon liver. Let's have a couple of drinks, brother."
"Don't give me that. I decide my own destiny and I won't let you control me."
Chen Dong laughed heartily and said lazily, "Hmph, I am the master of this world. All the gods and Buddhas in the Three Realms and Six Paths are at my disposal. What makes you think you are so great? I am the greatest in the world. I am the one who is heaven!"
Chen Nan calmly said, "Alright, in this life I will defy the heavens!"
A thunderclap resounded throughout the heavens and earth, startling all the supreme beings who had been sleeping in the Three Realms and Six Paths into opening their eyes.
Chen Nan unleashed a powerful punch, a blazing light piercing through the heavens and earth. The power of this punch was overwhelming, dominating the world and ushering in the battle against the heavens.
Chen Dong was blasted away in the blink of an eye; he was thrown into another world and fell to the ground in front of the computer desk with a thud.
"Hmph, I'm not going to stoop to your level now. I'll have a cup of tea and see how you defy the heavens."
