Chapter 846: Minor Deity of Another World, You Did Your Best!

In the heavens above, piercing celestial lights cascaded as the ethereal shadow of a white-haired, white-robed elder waved a fly-whisk, embodying the profound mysteries of heaven and earth and aligning with the singular marvels of the Heavenly Dao.

At this moment, behind Gui Ye, the remaining celestial soldiers and the few elites pressing close to his side let out an unimaginable chorus of gasps.

It was as though they could not believe Gui Ye still possessed such a trump card, nor could they believe that the heritage of the Gui Clan was so formidable.

"Ah—!"

"This... is this... the true strength of the Gui family!?"

"Too terrifying..."

...

Below, the crowd within the Jiuhua City shop watched the war with trembling hearts, whispering, "It seems the Emperor Abandoning Heaven just casually threw out a few strikes from his Hand of God series and used the Counterverse Demonic Source to deflect the attacks..."

"It seems so..."

The Emperor Abandoning Heaven's Divine Series techniques—the Hand of God, the Fire of God, the Thunder of God, and so on—were roughly equivalent to a god unleashing a burst of divine power, a god turning that power into fire, a god turning that power into thunder...

Such effortless attacks.

Yet that divine power was purest, the fire most yang, the thunder most unyielding... each portion of power seemed to be the absolute pinnacle of its kind.

And now, the Emperor Abandoning Heaven slightly raised his left hand, and a world-destroying strike was conjured within his palm!

The wild winds between heaven and earth, drawn by his divine majesty, intensified the god's power; above his left palm, the wind swirled like a tornado, draining the colors from heaven and earth as his palm sank slightly, as if what it bore was not a breath of weightless wind, but a storm world so heavy that even a god found it burdensome!

Immediately after, his right hand rose as well.

A streak of deep blue lightning erupted from his palm; the lightning, born of divine power, seemed to carry a deafening roar that could obliterate all things, instantly transforming into a heaven-and-earth-spanning tree of thunder that painted the entire world a stark, pale white.

Looking up toward the exceptionally high heavens from the city below, one could see the Emperor Abandoning Heaven upholding these two ultimate divine forces of wind and thunder in the posture of a giant god hoisting twin skies; instantly, wild gales raged across the human realm, thunder boomed continuously, sand and stones flew, and heaven and earth lost all color, as if the apocalypse had arrived!

At this moment, in the sky above, the elder waved his fly-whisk, and a shimmering sheet of lightning struck down in response!

Almost simultaneously, that world-destroying force of wind and thunder gathered in the Emperor Abandoning Heaven's hands and, as his palms closed together, instantly fused into one!

Both palms... thrust forward!

The moment the two strikes crossed...

Beneath that overwhelming divine majesty of wind and thunder, beneath that world-shattering divine power, let alone mortals, even immortals felt the sheer vastness of that force, and their own insignificance!

"Lesser god of an alternate realm... you have done your best!" The moment the words fell, everyone, including Gui Ye, witnessed a scene they found completely unbelievable—that streak of lightning raced frantically before the divine might of wind and thunder, held its ground for a mere heartbeat, and then... collapsed!

When they heard the Emperor Abandoning Heaven speak, they still realized nothing, but the next moment... an ultimate terror gripped their hearts!

Their courage shattered entirely!

That expanse of wind and thunder force was like a cataclysm of the end times, sweeping forward with an overwhelming momentum.

The terrifyingly immense power slammed violently into Gui Ye and everyone around him like a primordial mountain.

Even though it had been obstructed for a split second by that celestial lightning which united the mysteries of heaven and earth, that ocean-like power still gave no one a chance to escape.

Boom—!

With a thunderous explosion, despite the protection of his celestial artifact, Gui Ye was still sent flying backward by this unimaginably terrifying force.

His internal organs and all the meridians in his body were instantly ruptured.

As for those with lower cultivation, some were directly charred to ash or twisted into fragments within the wind and thunder.

Wherever it passed, almost no one was left whole!

Gui Ye was horrified, staring blankly ahead.

How could such a dreadful demon god exist under heaven!?

"Lesser god of an alternate realm... you have done your best!?"

"You have done your best!?"

"Done your best!?" These words revolved continuously in his ears like a revolving lantern.

Everyone who witnessed this scene in the Jiuhua City shop was also...

"Holy crap—!?"

"Lesser god of an alternate realm... you have done your best!?"

...

"Puff—!" Gui Ye violently spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood, glaring fixedly at the seemingly invincible deity before him, and spoke in exasperated fury, "With your capabilities, how simple would it be to seek a high-ranking position in the Heavenly Courts? Why... why must you oppose my Gui family!?"

"I should rather ask you!" Owner Fang, synchronized with the Emperor Abandoning Heaven, spoke, "This shop was running perfectly well; for what reason did you mobilize such forces to suppress it?"

"Heh!" Gui Ye sneered, "A mere shop in the mortal realm not only touched upon the taboos of the upper realm but was also insolent toward the celestial families, defying discipline. Since that is the case... there is no choice but to destroy it."

"Very well," Fang Qi said, "Then I tell you now, the rules you set have already disrupted this shop's business. They must be changed!"

"What did you say—!?" Gui Ye's eyes widened, as if he could not believe his own ears.

Because... from ancient times until now, no one in the world had ever dared to utter such words!

He laughed maniacally, as if he had just heard the greatest joke in the universe.

The rules jointly established by our Myriad Immortal Sea, the Pantheon, and even the Heavenly Courts must be changed simply because they affected your shop's business!?

Just because they affected a mortal shop?!

"Yes," Owner Fang said very seriously, "They must be changed."

Only then did the crowd in Jiuhua City snap out of it, beaming with joy yet crying out in astonishment one after another, "That... that is Owner Fang—!?"

"This time it must really be the senior possessing him..."

"It must be that senior exerting his power... too terrifying! He is so much stronger than Owner Fang..."

Though they did not know why he had become the Emperor Abandoning Heaven,... only that "senior" could achieve such a feat.

...

"I will not destroy your primordial spirit," Owner Fang said, "Keep it to go back and deliver the message. Tell them that for the 'Origin Internet Club' to conduct its business smoothly in the lower realm, you must change whatever rule that is."

"If you do not change it..."

"Humph—! Relying on a single mortal shop, you dare oppose my Gui family, oppose the Myriad Immortal Sea, and the Heavenly Courts!? Even if your methods can reach the heavens and you can kill me alone, do you truly believe you can withstand the crusade of thousands upon thousands of celestial soldiers and generals coming to suppress you!?" Gui Ye muttered to himself in a low voice, then called out loudly, "Then what harm is there in me returning to report to them!? But whether it succeeds or fails has nothing to do with me anymore!"

Upon the Primordial Cliff, a strand of primordial spirit light quietly rose and then fled toward the center of the Myriad Immortal Sea with incomparable speed.

...

Meanwhile, at the location of the Haotian Sect disciples.

Sect Master Feng Xuehe let out a long breath, feeling somewhat relieved.

"How are the casualties!?" Feng Xuehe asked.

"We happened to pass by and arrived just in time. Though there are severely injured ones, under our treatment, they should be out of mortal danger," the white-robed Elder Xiao Yunhe spoke, "I instructed Nephew Yu Yin to watch over them with the disciples; after a few days, they should be fine."

...

And at this moment, inside the Jiuhua City shop.

A group of people gazed at the rising sun in the east: "...Is it dawn?"

"It really seems to be dawn...!" a crowd of people cried out in astonishment.

They all crowded around Boss Fang, peeking and peering from every angle as if flowers had suddenly bloomed across his face.

"It's nothing, it's nothing!" Boss Fang waved them off.

And so... everyone returned to the shop, some calling for instant noodles, others diving back into their games.

"Hahaha! A brand new day, another day overflowing with hope!"

"Abandon Heaven Emperor is just too strong, oh my god..."

Song Qingfeng laughed aloud, "Let's go, let's go, time to keep grinding today's computer hours!"

"Grind your head!" Su Tianji looked utterly depressed, let out a yawn, and suddenly shrieked, "Oh no! I haven't prepared this month's lesson plans yet! Oh no, oh no!"

"What lessons could you possibly teach!" Boss Fang gave her a look of pure disdain, "The likes of you teaching? Aren't you afraid of leading the younger generation astray?"

"Why shouldn't I teach!" Su Tianji cried out, "Even if it's only once a month, those disciples absolutely love listening to my lectures, alright!"

"No time to talk, I'm heading back to prepare!" In a flash, she flew away on her sword.
