Now, Zhou Huai is truly certain.

There really is something in this world that resembles the will of Heaven.

The lingering purple lightning in the sky is the best proof of this.

They should also be the targets that Mr. Duan truly needs to resist.

This also confirms some of Zhou Huai's previous guesses. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Mr. Duan and those ancient awakened beings, even this human emperor who was just struck back into the abyss by heavenly lightning, are all going against the will of heaven.

He himself was simply following the will of Heaven.

There was no way around it; from the very beginning, Zhou Huai had already positioned himself against those people.

Because he realized that the god-level clone system in his mind was also likely to be inextricably linked to the will of Heaven.

Especially after the appearance of the Great Sage profession.

This feeling is becoming increasingly apparent.

I was chosen from the very beginning to be the representative of the will of Heaven in the human world.

Just then, a system notification sounded in Zhou Huai's mind.

This confirms Zhou Huai's idea.

【Ding! World-class challenge mission triggered: Chaos in All Directions!】

【Mission Description: Remnants of the old era are awakening in eight corners of the world, attempting to overthrow the rules of the present. The host is requested to travel to eight ancient ruins to quell the chaos and maintain world order.】

【Mission Reward: For each ruin you successfully quell the chaos of, you will receive a guaranteed SSS-rank Pro Orb draw!】

Zhou Huai held his breath, and then, unable to stop himself from grinning, he almost burst out laughing.

Good heavens!

Good heavens!

That's really something!

If I could quell the chaos in all eight ruins, wouldn't that mean I would gain a total of eight SSS-level clones?!

This mission is truly extravagant.

"It seems... the will of Heaven is urging me to do something." Zhou Huai stroked his chin.

He quickly calmed down and silently analyzed the information in the mission.

"To quell the chaos at the eight ruins..."

"Does this mean that, apart from the Abyss of Mist, top-tier powerhouses like the Human Emperor have already revived in the other seven ruins?"

Zhou Huai's smile faded.

"Wait a minute... this mission isn't going to send me to deal with eight peak SSS-level enemies, is it?"

"This is... this joke has gone too far?!"

The human emperor who was barely repelled by the personal intervention of the will of Heaven is already terrifying.

If seven more of the same level come, are we even allowed to live?

To verify this conjecture, Zhou Huai decisively withdrew his consciousness from Da Yi and traveled thousands of miles to transfer it to the Insect Emperor Caesar, who was stationed at the headquarters of the Divine Dynasty in Tokyo, the land of cherry blossoms.

...

The top floor of the Divine Dynasty headquarters.

On the throne formed by countless beetle soldiers, the majestic figure slowly opened his eyes.

As soon as Zhou Huai arrived, he heard a respectful but urgent knocking at the door.

"Come in."

He spoke, his voice carrying the majesty of an insect emperor.

The door was pushed open, and Shinichiro Nakamura rushed in, his face full of terror.

"My lord!" He fell to his knees with a thud, his body trembling. "Something...something terrible has happened!"

Zhou Huai, controlling Caesar, looked down at him: "What happened? Tell me slowly."

Shinichiro Nakamura swallowed hard, forcing himself to calm down, and reported as fast as he could: "Reporting to Lord Caesar! Just now, a large area of ​​unknown purple lightning appeared in the sky above the Ise Grand Shrine ruins!"

"The lightning gathered into clouds, and the oppressive force emanating from them made it difficult for the guards surrounding the entire divine palace to breathe. Many soldiers with low strength even fainted on the spot!"

"Your subordinate... Your subordinate is worried that something bad might have happened, so I came to report to you!"

Zhou Huai sighed inwardly, but remained calm on the surface.

It's not just Donghai City.

At the entrances to other ruins, this purple lightning, representing the will of Heaven, appeared.

As the top experts within the ruins awaken, the will of Heaven has descended, and it will absolutely not allow these former overlords of the old era to return to the world.

"Get up."

Zhou Huai said.

He manipulated the enormous throne formed from the beetles, slowly flying out of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Divine Dynasty headquarters and hovering ten thousand meters above Tokyo.

His gaze pierced through the clouds, looking in the direction of the Ise Grand Shrine.

really.

Beneath that corresponding patch of sky, countless purple lightning bolts converged into a sea of ​​thunder, emitting a muffled rumble.

The thunder wasn't loud, but it struck deep into the soul of every living being, issuing a stern warning.

"Hmm?" Zhou Huai frowned.

He sensed that a powerful aura was also awakening deep within the ruins of the Ise Grand Shrine.

The intensity of that aura was in no way inferior to that of the Human Emperor just now.

However, unlike the arrogant and defiant «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» nature of the Human Emperor, this aura was extremely restrained and feared.

The powerful figures within the ruins did not reveal themselves; they lacked the courage of the Human Emperor to confront the will of Heaven and chose to remain hidden.

"It seems that not every old relic has the same unyielding spirit as the Human Emperor."

Zhou Huai understood.

The emperor's fierceness was an isolated case.

Most of the powerful figures of the old era, after slumbering for countless years, would first choose to observe and test the waters when faced with this unfamiliar world and its overwhelming divine might.

This is undoubtedly good news for him.

As long as they don't recklessly charge out, I'll have enough time to develop and defeat them one by one!

While Zhou Huai was observing the Ise Grand Shrine.

This world has been set off by a chain reaction.

Strange phenomena are occurring all over the world!

...

The ancient city of Ximeng, on the northwestern border of the Great Xia Kingdom.

This place was once a prosperous border town, but it was completely destroyed in a beast tide ten years ago. Now, only ruins remain, buried by yellow sand.

However, right now, this ruin, which has been abandoned for a century, is undergoing an incredible transformation.

"rumble--!"

The earth trembled violently, and beneath the yellow sand, countless tender green shoots broke through the soil!

They grow at a speed visible to the naked eye, from seedlings to saplings, and then to towering giants, all in just over ten minutes!

Giant trees, some hundreds of meters tall, rose from the ground, blocking out the sky. Their intertwined roots spread across the ground, crushing and swallowing the dilapidated buildings.

In just half an hour, the entire desolate desert and Gobi Desert was transformed into a vast and boundless primeval forest exuding a primordial aura!

From the depths of the forest came a distant and ancient deer cry, announcing the awakening of an ancient deity.

...

Ancient India, on the banks of the sacred river.

The space around a massive pyramid ruin trembled violently.

The vast expanse of yellow sand gathered and coalesced at the top of the pyramid, forming a phantom image of a pharaoh hundreds of meters tall.

The phantom wore a golden mask and held a scepter and a hook, obscuring its face. However, its majestic aura, as if it were ruling over the world and judging all living beings, caused all creatures within a hundred miles to prostrate themselves on the ground, trembling in fear.

Above, purple lightning also struck down, confronting the phantom of the pharaoh from afar, creating an atmosphere of extreme tension.
