495: Punishing God
Early in the morning.
The common folk had already gathered in the streets.
“What happened? Why are so many people from the Deity Race here?”
“I heard they arrested President Fang, saying he insulted the gods!”
“What insult to the gods? These people are just looking for an excuse to deal with us!”
“That’s right, stop them! They can’t take him away!”
“Don’t go… several Heavenly Beast powerhouses have come!”
Everyone looked at each other.
Even though they knew they couldn't win, they still gathered together.
“Alright, our Celestial God Clan’s god wants him back to ask him something. If there’s nothing, he’ll naturally be released.”
The Deity Race Envoy looked smug.
Fang Ran shook his head, signaling everyone to make way, and they parted to the sides.
It wasn’t until Fang Ran was taken away that several Emperor Beast Masters of the Imperial Capital gathered on top of a tall building to converse.
“He’s finally been taken away. How long is that boy going to hold a grudge?”
“Indeed, if he just apologizes to the Beast Taming Way, we would be a Divine Beast nation too.”
They clearly knew something.
But due to Fang Ran’s unwillingness, they couldn't say much.
After all, more than half of the Emperor Beast Masters in the Dragon Kingdom had close ties with him.
After a long while.
Fang Ran passed through the magnificent Divine Kingdom continent.
He looked down, observing the city’s structure, which was different from human cities, but the materials used were vastly different.
Its grandeur was awe-inspiring, as vast and magnificent as a city from myths!
“Hmph, this is the Divine Kingdom of our Celestial God Clan!”
The Deity Race Envoy glanced at Fang Ran.
He truly was unworldly.
Well, anyone who came would probably be shocked by this scene!
Saying that, he pointed proudly ahead, “Look, that’s the Divine Temple. Only the most top-tier beings, after being chosen, are qualified to enter it!”
The next second, he saw the human man looking into the distance, his expression stunned.
He must have been awestruck by the Divine Temple!
After all, that was where the Divine Beasts resided!
It was a Divine Temple made from an entire mountain, without leaving a single crack!
Even its steps numbered a full ninety thousand, which would make anyone feel awe in their heart!
“Let’s go, directly into the Divine Temple!”
After a long while.
Everyone entered the Divine Temple.
Besides Fang Ran, there were also a few people from other races beside him.
All were beings who had committed the sin of blasphemy. Facing that iron-fisted god, they would surely not have a good outcome.
As everyone entered the Divine Temple.
Fang Ran looked inside.
Huge pillars on all sides supported a ceiling that couldn't be seen.
And in front, emanating divine light, on a seat carved with intricate and mysterious patterns, sat a Celestial God of unparalleled beauty.
She exchanged glances with Fang Ran, secretly swallowing her saliva.
“Bring the person.”
“Yes! Divine Lord, this person has committed the sin of blasphemy, betraying the divine law…”
The Deity Race Envoy began to read out the crimes of the captured beings.
The being’s face showed fear.
His companions beside him gritted their teeth, wanting to curse loudly, but their throats were locked by divine runes.
Once brought into this Divine Temple, it wouldn't be so easy to leave alive!
“Hmm, I understand. Since it’s a first offense, release him.”
“Understood, I shall now eliminate… What?” The Deity Race Envoy looked up, his face full of disbelief.
Release him? Even first offenders used to be mercilessly executed!
When did this god become so benevolent?
Or did he not understand her implied meaning?
“Ahem, those I killed in the past were all heinous villains. Without thunderous methods, it wouldn’t work. Now, I can naturally relax the boundaries a bit and give them a chance.”
“I understand!” The Deity Race Envoy nodded.
He really wanted to say, you don’t need to explain yourself so clearly, do you?
As the strongest god in the world, ordinary people don't even have the qualification to gaze upon her appearance, so whatever she says goes!
He had no idea that the gaze of the Forbidden God had always been on Fang Ran.
It wasn’t until everyone had been judged.
She slowly stood up and said, “Go back.”
“Lord Celestial God, there’s still one person who hasn’t been dealt with!”
The Deity Race Envoy suddenly shouted.
Even if there was a possibility of letting this person go.
The opportunity for judgment could not be missed.
Upon hearing this, the figure slowly stopped, and then, actually walked directly down from the divine throne, coming before Fang Ran.
The hearts of the Deity Race Envoys pounded incessantly. This was the first time they had been so close to the legendary god!
“What do you want to do?” The Celestial God asked.
Fang Ran smiled and said, “Nothing. Didn’t you bring me here?”
You brought me here?
He dared to speak to the Forbidden True God like that!
But listening to the two of them, it seemed they had met before?
The hearts of the Deity Race Envoys pounded, but they knew the rule of not speaking without permission, so they remained silent.
The two stood facing each other.
It wasn’t until a long time later that Fang Ran said, “If not, then let me go back. We’ll never meet again.”
Upon hearing this, the Celestial God’s arm trembled slightly, and she pursed her lips.
She said in an almost imperceptible voice, “Punish me.”
Punish me.
Although the voice was soft.
It truly fell into everyone’s ears.
Like a bolt from the blue, it nearly caused the highly cultivated Deity Race Envoys to collapse on the spot!
What kind of words were those! The most powerful being in this world, a god whom even all other gods feared, was actually asking a human to punish her!
This, this, this!!! If this were to spread, probably all beings in the world wouldn't believe it, thinking it was a rumor!
“Punish you? Then abdicate.” Fang Ran said lightly.
As if speaking of a trivial matter.
Several Deity Race Envoys were about to reprimand him.
Then, they heard a familiar voice say, “Okay.”
“Tomorrow… no, I will abdicate now and no longer control the Celestial God Clan.” Xiao Nian replied softly.
She had always waited for Fang Ran to come find her, but she never expected that Fang Ran seemed to have completely forgotten her.
Sometimes, Xiao Nian would also use her power to watch his figure from afar.
When she saw him intimately interacting with that dragon-person, she almost lost control on the spot.
“You all!” Her voice turned cold, then she continued, “Spread my words. Don’t take them lightly.”
“Yes!!” Everyone nodded hastily.
Without her saying, they all knew what to say and what not to say.
“Oh, you don’t need to.” Xiao Nian silently pointed at the Deity Race Envoy who had brought Fang Ran, saying, “Get lost. I’m letting you go.”
The Deity Race Envoy’s body trembled, kneeling on the ground, never having imagined such an outcome!
Just then, someone burst into the Divine Temple, shouting, “Lord True God! The god of Shadow Mountain is here again! She’s already at the Divine Temple’s exterior!”
Xiao Nian and Fang Ran, along with a few others, came outside the Divine Temple.
They saw that the originally bright sky had already been covered by darkness.
A scene like the end of the world appeared before everyone’s eyes.
“Get out!”
A voice resounded through the sky.
Xiao Nian looked into the sky, her face showing indifference.
Xiao Nian, hidden above the sky, was about to say something when she suddenly saw the figure standing beside her.
