"Senior, is it possible to summon the projection of a true god?" Su Tiange clandestinely communicated with the peach blossom in the storage ring through telepathy.
"???" The peach tree, situated far away in the deserted village, swayed slightly, seemingly in a perplexed state. A projection of a true god, for your sake?
"It is possible," transmitted the peach tree.
"Very well." Su Tiange's smile grew increasingly profound.
Meanwhile, on the opposing side, Chen Yu caught sight of the faint smile on Su Tiange's face, which inexplicably stirred a sense of foreboding within him.
"Is he deliberately doing this?" This thought briefly flashed through Chen Yu's mind, making him feel absurd.
He was well aware of the Heavenly Demon Sacred Sect's background. Where did Su Tiange gather the audacity to confront the projection of a true god? He must be out of his mind.
"What agitates the god?" At that moment, a majestic and supreme voice resounded from the heavens above.
The resounding sound appeared to transform the very fabric of the sky, each uttered word resonating with the entire expanse of heaven and earth.
Outside the Chenguang Realm, hundreds of millions of stars quivered in response, the vast starfield seeming to assimilate with the presence of this figure.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Emerging from the Gate of Ascension, a flawless and imposing holy body emerged, exuding a presence that seemed to eclipse the heavens and the earth.
Clad in golden armor, the middle-aged figure bore an air of heroism, exuding boundless and mighty power reminiscent of an abyssal king in every gesture.
The entire celestial world was bathed in a golden hue, a faint purple light and mist swirling around it, as if the celestial realm had transformed into an auspicious vision at that very moment.
Despite being a mere projection, it bore a striking resemblance to reality, showing no signs of aberration.
Merely gazing upon it caused a sting in the eyes, as if mortals were forbidden from directly meeting the gaze of gods.
Even the mighty quivered at first sight, feeling life-level suppression that made it arduous to resist.
The divine being had arrived!
"Reporting to the High God, an incident in the lower realm dares to brazenly challenge the Lord's Mansion's authority, defying your will. They claim to test if you, the High God, can subdue them. Please make a judgment," Chen Yu struggled to rise, bowing weakly as he spoke.
"You're worthless. As the ruler of this realm, your authority has been questioned by those below," the True God shot Chen Yu a cold glance. Nevertheless, the divine entity waved their hand, imparting a ray of divine brilliance. In an instant, Chen Yu, previously gravely injured, stood completely restored within Setsuna's chamber.
"The accused acknowledges their guilt and thanks the Divine for sparing their life."
Respectfully, Chen Yu spoke, "It's you, attempting to challenge the True God?"
The True God gazed majestically at Su Tiange and spoke aloofly, "Do you dare challenge the god?"
There was no need to ask; it was Su Tiange.
Upon the battlefield, both sides' forces had already ceased their actions. Even under the True God's coercion, they bowed their heads. But Su Tiange stood apart, not only standing with an air of elegance, but also seeming to relish the encounter.
Unreasonable!
"You, insolent!" The True God's countenance darkened as he uttered a low reprimand.
His voice, though seemingly quiet, resounded louder than thunder.
With the True God's fury, the celestial realm turned pallid. Countless celestial thunders gathered, an oppressive atmosphere enveloped the Chenguang world, and the entire realm quivered under the True God's wrath.
"Insect, your potential and talent may be exceptional, and you might possess significance in the upper world. However, that doesn't grant you the right to challenge the god. Do you, on your own, dare to face a confrontation with the True God?"
"Never mind. I shall seal your body in the depths of darkness to be consumed by karmic flames. Your soul will be cast into Jiuyou to be corroded endlessly by the fires of the underworld. This is your fate for provoking the True God!"
Observing Su Tiange's audacity, the True God frowned slightly, expressing dissatisfaction. Even without any further regard, it seemed an imperial decree had been issued to decree Su Tiange's fate.
Throughout the encounter, he didn't directly gaze at Su Tiange, nor did he consider Su Tiange a worthy opponent. He was a True God, and even if this was just a projection, it still represented the power of a True God. Did he believe a mere mortal could pose a threat to him?
Ridiculous!
"Do you comprehend?"
"Insect, your demise is imminent."
Perhaps to assert the Lord's Mansion's dominance over the powerful entities in the Chenguang Realm, or simply to display the True God's authority, the True God raised his hand leisurely. Within moments, a convergence of various formidable powers amassed in unison within Setsuna, culminating in the True God's fingertips.
The True God was poised to annihilate Su Tiange.
Despite the leisurely pace, it hardly mattered. To the True God, Su Tiange was a mere ant, seemingly incapable of conjuring any clever stratagem.
"Is this the end? So much blather. Undoubtedly, you are a true god, adept at feigning superiority over me."
Finally, after thousands of years of maintaining an unchanged, indifferent facade, Su Tiange's countenance softened.
Was the charade finally over?
Indeed, it was about time!
Taoxian, it's your moment... time to step forward!
