CHAPTER 976: CHAPTER 944: REMAKING THE WORLD

The long knife fell and severed the right arm of the blood-clad figure.

In the shrill screams of the girl, the boy in the deep red suit laughed more wildly and frenziedly.

"Lin Hanshu, do you now feel the injustice of destiny?"

He pressed the sole of his right shoe against the back of the girl’s head, "You get joy from just becoming a dog of the Golden Sparrow, and that truly makes me laugh. With no strength, no power, who can you protect being a dog of a noble clan?"

Crack— The pressure of the right foot increased, and as the girl frantically struggled, her head was forced further down into the pit, shattering.

"Look, you can’t even cure your daughter’s disability, let alone protect her life."

The boy leisurely twirled a blood-red mask with his fingers, speaking indifferently to the middle-aged man at a distance.

From the tone, it seemed they were acquaintances.

"Damn you, Nian Gengcheng! What, exactly, do you want!!" The middle-aged bodyguard’s bloodshot eyes bulged, his muscle-bound arms propped him up as he tried to rise, but he was continuously forced down, kneeling by the overwhelming domain of the Dao Thought.

"How rude, sir."

The boy smiled, squinting, "But it’s alright, I only have a father, no mother. If you want to curse, I don’t mind."

With that, the boy raised his hand, and the blood-red mask transformed back into a long knife, swiftly striking down and severing the girl’s remaining left arm forcefully.

The girl twitched violently one last time, becoming completely still, her face in the dirt and russet hair soaked in blood and filth, fluttering in the stormy rain.

"Xi... Xi——!!

Nian Gengcheng!!!"

The man’s roar was like the lament of a resentful soul, the boy mockingly dug a pinky into his ear, clicking his tongue, "So noisy."

"Lin Hanshu, I ask you one last time, are you willing to join Burning Heaven, to have faith in the Supreme Heavenly Emperor?"

"Go to hell with you!!!"

"Ah, really, why are you so stubborn, uncle?"

The boy sighed, covering his face, "Don’t you understand? Once the Supreme Heavenly Emperor descends, all injustices in this world will be eliminated. Your daughter’s legs... Hmm, let alone just legs, growing a thousand legs wouldn’t be a problem."

"She’s already dead! Dead!! Nian Gengcheng, hahaha! I swear I’ll kill you."

The middle-aged bodyguard’s expression twisted into unprecedented madness, "Kill you, kill you!!!"

Lin Hanshu had always been an optimistic and proactive person, even after his wife died unexpectedly in a disaster ten years ago, and even when his daughter’s legs were crippled, he remained positive about life.

When faced with difficulties, he went to solve them; there was no hurdle he couldn’t overcome in life.

That’s why, to cure Xi’s legs, despite hitting dead ends repeatedly, he never thought of giving up, striving consistently. After many interviews, he eventually succeeded in becoming an armed member of the Golden Sparrow Ke Family and even made a significant contribution.

Now, if he could make one more contribution, he would be able to exchange for the rare spiritual material needed to cure Xi’s legs!

But....

Why?

He couldn’t understand,

clearly, he had been so close to success, why did this Burning Heaven beast have to destroy everything he had!!

Why!!!

"Tsk, tsk, uncle, why are you so foolish? Didn’t I tell you, the Supreme Heavenly Emperor is the supreme existence above all gods, beyond the Heavenly Dao, omniscient and omnipotent, a true God! Your daughter’s death doesn’t matter, as long as He can revive and descend, all your wishes can be fulfilled. Not to mention reviving your daughter, He could create a thousand daughters if you wanted."

"Hahaha~! But can He also kill you, this little prick, for me?!"

"Oh? That’s a good question. Forgive me, this little prick can’t answer your question, so why don’t you join my Burning Heaven Sect and verify for yourself?"

"Go to hell!"

".... Truly, there’s no teaching this child."

The boy looked regretful but was not discouraged; instead, he said, "If you’re not willing to join my sect, that’s fine. How about this, if you are willing to bring the ’Heavenly Gifted Seal’ into Sparrow God Mountain, I’ll help resurrect Xi, how about that?"

"Go to hell!"

"You don’t believe in the Supreme Heavenly Emperor, but surely you trust the rules of the Game of Life World of Calamity. Your daughter’s death in the Game of Life World ensures that there is a means to resurrect her at the settlement phase."

"Go to hell!"

"....You may not have the ability to claim the settlement reward, but I, this little prick, do." The boy continued to grind his right foot on the girl’s head, smiling, "Of course, if uncle no longer wishes to resurrect Xi, I won’t insist."

"....."

In the distance, the middle-aged man’s face remained twisted, but finally, he fell silent.

After a moment, his voice was hoarse, "I’m just a bodyguard. Returning to Sparrow God Mountain requires going through layers of scrutiny."

"But you are the bodyguard of the third young master of the Ke Family."

Nian Gengcheng smiled, waving a short dagger, "Later, you use this knife to kill that useless young master. The knife carries the Heavenly Gifted Seal, which will automatically curse the young master’s soul. Once his body is sent back to Sparrow God Mountain, haha~ the glory of the heavenly gift will illuminate the whole mountain, letting those foolish big shots taste the flavor of fear!"

The short dagger was tossed in the air, landing in front of the middle-aged man.

"I’ll keep Xi’s body safe for you for now; whether to save her or not is up to your decision~"

As the middle-aged man raised his head, the beast and his daughter’s figures had vanished, leaving only the beast’s laughter echoing under the blood-red rain.

The middle-aged man lay convulsing on the ground for a long time, before finally, after several minutes, slowly raising his head, his face expressionless like a soulless puppet, the blood trailing down the corners of his eyes indiscernible whether from the blood rain or blood tears....

Xia Feng watched silently with his Reverse Time Spiritual Eyes, focusing on the man’s gradually retreating back, remaining seated in silence for a long time.

"Burning Heaven...."

He murmured, looking up at the heavens long shrouded in blood-darkness, his black pupils narrowing slightly.

Gong Changyi, do you also agree with the ideals of these beasts?

After pondering briefly, Xia Feng shook his head, refraining from further thoughts, deciding instead to complete the melding of the Vermilion Bird Demon Armor first, and also aimed to kill that beast named Nian Gengcheng!

Even though he hadn’t truly confronted Nian Gengcheng to sense the spiritual artifact, Xia Feng felt that the spiritual artifact Nian Gengcheng possessed was likely his target!

Without lingering much, Xia Feng continued to flicker swiftly northward.

Along the way, he saw many time phantoms, depicting scenes of various Burning Heaven believers tormenting and manipulating students, some of whom, whether feigning or due to mental breakdowns, genuinely embraced the ideals of Burning Heaven.

"Don’t you understand, everyone?"

Finally, Xia Feng saw Nian Gengcheng,

The suited youth stood atop the clock tower, arms wide open, overlooking nearly a hundred students in the square, his expression solemn,

"Those in power stand high above, the strong trample over life."

Like a great revolutionary, he passionately and provocatively delivered his speech,

"Since we are discontented with the injustice of the world’s Heavenly Dao, let us awaken the Supreme Heavenly Emperor together and reshape this world!"
