The Prospective Deity Strikes
1It would be a surprising stroke of luck if he could help Su Yu escape now, let alone eliminate the latent peril!
Sadly, the mere stroke of luck was destroyed by Wuchou. He took out a book and numerous letters emerged from it, rapidly confining Dulong within a fixed space.
"Jail of Words!" Wuchou let out a strange laugh as he continuously infused Mortal Fairy's Strength, keeping Dulong in a hopeless entanglement.
And the last strong man from the Crane Deity's family was even more vulnerable in the face of the three invading Peak Mortal Fairies and suffered a massive blow that immediately shattered his physical body.
The Three Youths of the Bamboo Garden cleared up the obstacles rapidly and barged into the house.
To their surprise, not only was Su Yu unruffled by the commotion outside, but he was training in a tranquil state.
"Seize him first!" The three of them sensed that something wasn't right but acted decisively anyway.
The good-looking woman fiddled with her paintbrushes and conjured a rope in midair. The rope came to life from a mere drawing and instantly wound itself around Su Yu.
"It's not right!" The woman found out that the shackle had only merely wrapped itself around empty air.
"This is... the Crane Deity's bloodline?" As Peak Mortal Fairies, they could easily identify Su Yu's trajectory and actions. If the celestial phenomenon manifested wasn't the Crane Deity's bloodline, what was it
Could Su Yu possibly be a descendant of the Crane Deity?
If so, brazenly capturing a deity's descendant was far too earth-shattering!
But they dared not defy the young master's command.
"Can you escape in time?" The scholar in the lead flipped open a book and eloquently mumbled, "A Saint once said something wise: nothing can be accomplished without norms or standards, and the world is rudderless without rules and laws."
In an instant, an independent universe appeared in Su Yu's surroundings, locking him within.
The Word-Law Synchronization?
Su Yu was rather stunned by such a bizarre technique.
"Body of Nine Dragons!" Su Yu had only one way to deal with seals, and that was to break them with force and destroy them by Divine Decree!
A gigantic palm emerged in the sky and moved the Word-Law Synchronization seal as it swept down. Shortly after, Su Yu combined the strengths of the nine dragons and launched the blow, directing it at a single spot.
With a thunderous boom, the seal was shattered.
The scholar was slightly taken aback. Apparently, he hadn't expected a mere Stage Two All Creations could counteract his Word-Law Synchronization.
"A Saint once said the Law follows the world and not individual desires; everything in the world follows the Law. Su Yu, follow my order now!!" The man in charge spoke again.
In an instant, Su Yu's eyes were filled with bewilderment. It was as if he was being controlled by someone, and he could not control his own body.
However, he recovered his normal self after a brief moment. What a joke! Apart from deities, who in the world could move his Divine Nine-Dragon Cauldron?
The leading man's face changed. When he cast the spell for the second time, he had doubled the power. How could it still be inadequate and unable to beat an All Creations?
"A Saint once said..." The leading man said again, his face somber.
He was interrupted before he could finish the sentence. "The deities once said, whoever harms a deity's descendant should be killed with no amnesty."
The facial expression of the man was who preoccupied with casting spells underwent a drastic change. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, staring at the place behind Su Yu with intense dread in his eyes.
A delicate-looking woman slowly stepped out from behind Su Yu. She was beautiful and quiet and was looking at them placidly at the moment.
The Three Youths of the Bamboo Garden seemed terrified when they saw the woman.
"Sheng Yuanxin?" they exclaimed in unison!
Who wouldn't recognize the leader of the Senluo Law-Enforcement Team?
She was the most powerful deity's descendant of the era with absolutely stunning martial strength. She had been promoted to the state of Prospective Deity, and it was only a matter of time before she rose as a deity.
With his heart beating wildly, the leading scholar said, "Greetings, Prospective Deity Sheng."
In front of Sheng Yuanxin, the Three Youths of the Bamboo Garden who looked down upon each and everything had lost their right to arrogance.
They were going to become honored servants to a deity in the future, whereas Sheng Yuanxin would be a deity!
"Su Yu told me that you have no respect for the Divine Law. I did not believe him at first, so I was quietly observing matters. I never thought you were daring enough to capture a deity's descendant!" Sheng Yuanxin appeared delicate, but her words made the Three Youths' hearts sink.
Harming a deity's descendant was a capital offense!
As for whether Su Yu was a deity's descendant, the celestial phenomenon of the Crane Deity's bloodline just now had explained it all.
"With my authority as the leader of the Senluo Law-Enforcement Team, I announce the enforcement of the law," Sheng Yuanxin said.
The Three Youths of the Bamboo Garden did not even plead for mercy before turning to flee!
Pleading for mercy was completely useless in the face of the Senluo Law-Enforcing Team, and their leader Sheng Yuanxin had always been renowned for being just and stern.
Sheng Yuanxin did not chase after them. Instead, she took out a long golden-yellow whip and lashed it three times in the air.
Three lashing sounds reverberated, and Sheng Yuanxin kept hold of the long golden whip with no emotions.
Su Yu's heart skipped a beat. He had the distinct perception that the three Peak Mortal Fairies had been obliterated from the world, without leaving a single whiff of scent behind. Not even Su Yu stand a chance of reviving them.
Taking a glance at Sheng Yuanxin's back, Su Yu felt dread rise within him.
This was what a Prospective Deity truly was. Although not a true deity yet, they could destroy their enemies from hundreds of thousands of miles away without having to move an inch, even if the opponents were Peak Mortal Fairies!
Having witnessed a Prospective Deity attack for the very first time, Su Yu was stupefied beyond words.
Sheng Yuanxin turned around, still looking as delicate and feeble as ever. But Su Yu dared not slight her anymore. "Thank you for your help, Leader Sheng," he said.
Sheng Yuanxin flashed a tender smile. "You don't need to be afraid of me. If you have not broken the divine rules, there is nothing I can do to you."
Su Yu was embarrassed. Had he broken the divine rules? He had done so repeatedly!
He killed a law enforcer and had abducted a deity's descendant.
As if she had just recalled the spectacular act which Su Yu had committed not long ago, Sheng Yuanxin looked awkward.
"You also mentioned that you've recalled some important details about Qin Kuo in your message that you would like to report to me?" Sheng Yuanxin asked.
Su Yu replied, "Exactly! I suddenly recalled the rumor before the Jiuzhou continent was moved. Someone found out that a law enforcer was colluding with a Peak Mortal Fairy demon in Jiuzhou."
Sheng Yuanxin was calm. "What are the actual circumstances?"
Su Yu said, "The demon was being hunted down by a Divine Master of Jiuzhou, and he was about to be killed, Qin Kuo showed up out of nowhere and insisted on bringing the demon back for investigation."
"The Divine Master did not allow this, so Qin Kuo attacked him. The living creatures of Jiuzhou were all saying that the Law-Enforcement Team was covering up for that demon."
Upon hearing his words, Sheng Yuanxin immediately began contemplating matters.
As the leader of the Senluo Law-Enforcement Team, she was able to use her astute senses to tell that something was out of line with her astute clairvoyance.
Firstly, the time of Qin Kuo's appearance was too coincidental.
Secondly, there was a problem with the way Qin Kuo dealt with the matter. Unless it was a specific demon that needed to be kept alive, they would rarely capture them alive but rather obliterate them on the spot!
But he insisted on capturing the demon alive and had tried to stop the Jiuzhou Divine Master from killing him instead. Something surely wasn't right.
"Thank you. This is an important piece of information. Not only can it help us find out Qin Kuo's cause of death, but we can find out something else," Sheng Yuan said to Su Yu. As she spoke, she retrieved another jade pendant, but it wasn't a messenger jade pendant anymore: it was a summoning jade pendant!
"You're an important witness in this case now, and your life and safety is our great concern. If anyone tries to harm you, squeeze the jade pendant into fragments, and I will show up in no time!" Sheng Yuanxin said as she cast a glance at Dulong, who had taken to his heels.
The Book Deity's people were suspected of colluding with the demon race.
And now, they had dispatched so many experts to come forward and capture the insider Su Yu. Perhaps not even the Book Deity's people themselves would believe that they weren't trying to shut him up by murdering him.
"Thanks a lot." After seeing off Sheng Yuanxin, Su Yu looked at the summoning jade pendant on his palm and smiled with delight. He had profited greatly this time and had earned two huge benefits.
Firstly, he had directed Sheng Yuanxin to the manipulator behind the scenes in the Book Deity's world. Didn't you plot against me? Now you could have a taste of your own medicine!
Secondly, this piece of summoning jade pendant was a life-saving item!
Apart from deities, how many people in this world could rival Sheng Yuanxin?
However, having seen Sheng Yuan's power that was disguised by her delicate appearance, Su Yu did not plan on taking advantage of her. Although she was delicate, it didn't mean that she was stupid.
In the meantime, Su Yu had witnessed the Prospective Deity's power for the first time ever. He had to reconsider the deity-destroying plan now.
If a Prospective Deity was as terrifying as that, just how powerful would deities be?
As he pondered matters, Su Yu entered the Soul Dimension.
He was greeted with a shocking sight.
"Whose cows are these in my house?" Su Yu shrieked.
Inside the Soul Dimension, a humongous creature was nestling. It was the color of blood and was giving off waves of evil energy.
"You are a cow! Your whole family are cows I, the divine emperor, am a dog, nope, a canine, still nope, the Evil God! The Evil God!"
Su Yu chuckled. "Seems like your recovery wasn't too bad."
The Evil God laughed. "It was all thanks to you brat, for feeding me with four Mortal Fairy souls in a row. Tsk tsk, that was more than all the souls that I've ever had combined."
"Evil God, I have something to ask you," Su Yu said with a solemn look. "If I wish to kill a deity, and I know a way to destroy his godly spirit completely, do I stand a chance of success?"
The Evil God was smiling. "Your imagination is truly unrestrained."
"I'm not imagining. I'm already doing it," Su Yu said intently.
The Evil God's smile suddenly froze on his face, and he suddenly became cautious. "You're not trying to kill me, are you?"
Su Yu laughed. "The Soul Dimension practically serves no function in detaining you. You are reluctant to leave me, aren't you?"
Back when he was fighting the Central Prefecture's King, Su Yu had noticed that the Evil God could actually penetrate the Soul Dimension, instilling his bloodline energy into Su Yu's body.
He had realized that the Soul Dimension could no longer confine the Evil God and that he had been able to leave for a long time.
Upon hearing that, the Evil God was embarrassed. "Erm, my kennel cannot be simply moved, if I leave, and you remake it into a tourist spot - the Evil God's former residence - then it'll be problematic."
Knowing that Su Yu bore him no hostility, the Evil God said, "Destroying the godly spirit is indeed the only way to destroy a deity. However, that only applies to deities! If a deity destroys the godly spirit of another deity, it means that a deity is bound to be destroyed."
"But for non-deities, it would be like seeking one's doom. Brat, no matter what you're doing right now, stop it immediately and turn to run."
Astonishment filled Su Yu's eyes.
"It's very simple! Deities have souls too! Destroying the godly spirit merely destroys the deity's divine body because they still have their divine souls left!"
"It is fine if the divine soul is very feeble, but if it is still powerful, do you think you stand a chance against a divine soul? Let's not think too far ahead. What do you think of your master Yun Yazi's divine soul?"
