These two sentences carried the power of Words Follow the Law.

A loud boom echoed.

As the incantation fell, a wave of Law fluctuations swept through the Imperial Capital.

A miracle unfolded before tens of millions of eyes.

The entire city began to reverse.

"Look! Oh my God, look at those buildings!"

In front of some ruins in the city center, a middle-aged man who had been slumped on the ground jumped up, pointing into the air and shouting.

Looking in the direction he was pointing—

The collapsed skyscrapers were restoring themselves.

Shards of glass and chunks of reinforced concrete covering the ground floated into the air.

"Kaka kaka—"

Accompanied by the sounds of reconstruction, the fragments flew back to their original broken positions, the rebar re-welded, and the glass returned to its original state.

Within seconds, bathed in purple-gold light, building after building stood tall on the streets once more.

The broken foundations on the roads sealed as the earth churned, leaving no cracks behind.

This was merely a miracle on a material level.

What followed was the reshaping of life.

The purple-gold sweet dew turned into a rain of light, falling upon the injured. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"Ugh... Ah!"

In a medical camp, a Heavy-armored Warrior who had lost both legs let out a cry of surprise.

He pulled back the white cloth covering him and stared at the lower half of his body.

Under the nourishment of the purple-gold light rain, the granulation tissue at his stumps was wriggling and growing.

Bones reshaped, Meridians connected, and muscle covered them!

In the blink of an eye, a pair of legs grew out.

"My legs... my legs grew back?"

The Heavy-armored Warrior touched his new legs, jumped off the stretcher, bounced twice on the spot, and tears burst from his eyes.

"I'm healed? My health is full? This is bringing the dead back to life!"

It wasn't just him.

In every corner of the Imperial Capital, the same miracle was unfolding.

"Cough, cough... Pfft!"

At the edge of the ruins in the city center square, a pale young girl opened her eyes, coughed once, and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Subsequently, her face regained its color, and she breathed in large gulps of air.

Her mother, who was holding her, froze in place.

"Nannan? You... you're not dead? You're really not dead?"

The mother stroked her daughter's cheek, terrified that this was an illusion.

"Mom, it doesn't hurt anymore... I feel so warm."

The girl scrambled up from the ground, looked up at the phantom of the old man in the sky, and asked, "Did that glowing grandpa save me?"

"Yes... it's a god! It's a god!"

The mother pulled her daughter and knelt toward the phantom in the sky, her forehead pressed against the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Thank you, God, for saving our lives! Thank you, God!"

This kneel became the first domino to fall.

"We're saved! We're all okay!"

"Honey! Look, my arm is back! We can go home!"

"Wuwuwu... I was so scared. I thought the Imperial Capital was really going to be destroyed this time, I thought we were truly dead meat!"

People embraced and wept, their cheers echoing through the streets.

"Thud!"

"Thud! Thud!"

The purple-gold light dissipated with the wind, vanishing above the Imperial Capital.

The citizens in the city looked up, staring blankly at the sky.

In the streets and alleys of the city, countless citizens bowed to the dissipating phantom of Great Sage Li Er in the sky.

Whether they were ordinary people or high-Rank Professionals, everyone was kneeling on the ground.

Bringing the dead back to life, reversing time!

This was a forbidden power that stood above the Professionals' System and overturned the rules of the world!

"That old man high in the sky is a god..."

Countless people were sobbing, and their prayers gathered into an invisible torrent that surged into the heavens.

Thousands of meters in the air, Zhou Huai stood with his hands behind his back, watching the System screen in his mind.

【Ding! Received Power Of Faith, Karma value +1,000!】

【Ding! Received extreme fanatical faith, Karma value +5,000!】

【Ding!...】

Listening to the continuous notification sounds, Zhou Huai smiled.

Controlling the Li Er Clone to perform that wave of Words Follow the Law, combined with the large-scale time reversal, had directly squandered over a million of his Karma points. In the past, he would have been heartbroken.

But now, he wasn't panicked at all.

The Imperial Capital was a megacity with a population in the tens of millions! After experiencing that darkest moment of being crushed by ancient monsters, the sudden miracle was enough to completely ignite the faith of these ten million people.

This was a guaranteed profitable deal.

Looking at the skyrocketing Karma points on the panel, Zhou Huai understood that breaking even was only a matter of time; he might even make a fortune!

Just as he was silently calculating, two streaks of light galloped from the wilderness below, finally stabilizing their forms dozens of meters away from the Abyssal Demon Dragon.

It was exactly the Supreme Commander of the Great Xia Military Department, Zhao Qingcang, and the President of Imperial Capital University, Lin Zhu.

At this moment, where was even a hint of their usual composure? They stared at the Imperial Capital below, «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» then looked up at Zhou Huai, their mouths agape.

If they hadn't experienced it personally, who would believe that this city, which just a second ago was nearly destroyed by Earth-element Law and turned into a living hell, was now perfectly intact?!

Zhao Qingcang panted heavily, his chest heaving. He looked at Zhou Huai, his voice trembling: "Zhou Huai... all of this... did you really do it?"

He swallowed hard, his eyes wide.

"What Rank of Professional are you now, exactly?"

"Or rather—are you even still a Professional?"

Hearing Zhao Qingcang's question, Zhou Huai grinned.

He didn't answer but lowered his head to look at his hands. Beneath the skin flowed the power of Origin, a Fusion of over a dozen top-tier Laws that transcended dimensions, replacing conventional mana.

"Strictly speaking—I'm not really a Professional anymore." Zhou Huai thought for a moment and looked at the two of them. "If I had to define my current Realm..."

"I should be considered a Half-step Transcendent."

"Half... Half-step Transcendent?!"

Zhao Qingcang was slightly stunned. Holding a high position in the Great Xia Military Department, he had been exposed to countless top secrets, yet this was the first time he had heard such a novel term.

"What is a Transcendent?" Lin Zhu couldn't help but interject, her eyes wide. "From when you left Donghai City until now, not that much time has actually passed. Why is your transformation... so massive?!"

Zhou Huai spread his hands and gave a somewhat helpless smile.

"A Transcendent is an existence that has completely shattered the shackles of the underlying rules bestowed by the Heavenly Dao System, no longer restricted by quantified values like class, Rank, or attribute panels. Simply put, it's a chess piece that has jumped off the board."

He looked at their still-confused expressions and sighed. "Forget it, it's a long story. The waters are too deep; it can't be explained in just a few words."
