Chapter 139: Chapter 8: Old Yan, oh Old Yan, You’ve Brought Me So Much Misery

A Great Sun hung in the sky. Under its blazing light, a great might enveloped nearly half the city.

"What is that...?" A citizen, uncertain and alarmed, quickly ran into his home, yet couldn’t resist pulling out his phone to film the Great Sun in the sky, his heart pounding with fear.

’A Celestial Human?’

’Or something else?’

Many people cowered, filled with alarm and uncertainty. ’Colluding with cultists... what’s that about?’

’What is this great figure in the sky going to do now?’

Amid the confusion, Celestial Humans all over Wutong City peeked out to gaze at the sky. The mayor at City Hall frowned, wanting to ascend and demand an explanation. However, his innate Spiritual Sense trembled as a vague sense of crisis washed over him.

He ultimately chose to trust his instincts, holding his position and observing for the time being.

In the current era, while the strong were revered, the Federation and the six Super Conglomerates provided a balance of power. Moreover, there were the Life and Death Second Floors at the South and North Poles. Under normal circumstances, it was rare for a Celestial Human or any other great being to display their might so openly within a city.

But since it was happening, there had to be a reason.

’Who is this person in the sky even after?’

Under the puzzled gazes of countless experts and ordinary citizens in the city, they saw the blazing Great Sun above the clouds begin to move. Its direction was...

’Sakata Heavy Industries??’

As they watched the scorching Great Sun hover above the tallest skyscraper in the city, more and more citizens secretly raised their phones to film through their windows and doors, all sensing that something major was about to happen today!

Some young men and women who made a living from live streaming even gritted their teeth, steeled themselves, and chose to start a broadcast.

Without exception, these dozens of live streams were flooded with viewers in a short time. After all, most people were lucky to see a Celestial Human even once in their lifetime!

The entire city fell into an eerie silence. Everyone’s attention was fixed on the blurry figure within the searing radiance—some with anticipation, some with trepidation, and some with terror.

「After a long moment.」

Lu Xuan looked down at the building beneath his feet, a cold light flashing in his eyes. His Divine Sense swept out, revealing that the Earth Immortal’s aura had already moved far away, almost disappearing completely.

’He escaped.’

’He was actually scared off by the display of power I created.’

He felt no pride, merely staring silently at the Sakata Heavy Industries Building as scene after scene flashed through his mind.

There was the river of blood in Qianlong City from over seven years ago, the citizens of East Sea City falling one by one, the sight of Chen Tianhua’s head rolling on the ground...

In the end, all these scenes, all these images, transformed into a raging fire that burned through his entire being. It also caused the radiance projected by his Spiritual Will to grow even more intense, even more dazzling.

"Sakata Heavy Industries."

He announced in an ice-cold voice, his words broadcast to the entire city and, through countless filming phones and live streams, transmitted to the entire planet.

"You colluded with an Evil Cult, betrayed your own people, joined Cultists to massacre a city, performed a great ritual, and then suppressed all information, erasing the records of the dead. Your blood debt is immeasurable..."

Every word was like the tolling of a great bell, reverberating throughout Wutong City and, through the live streams, striking the hearts of many viewers.

’An Evil Cult?’

’A great ritual?’

’A city massacre?’

The vast majority of people were baffled and confused. Because the Federation and several Super Conglomerates had worked together to block the information, these events had rarely been circulated online. Most people knew nothing about them.

But the few citizens who had heard rumors, or the "bigwigs" who knew the inside story, all felt their hearts tremble.

"In light of this."

The blurry figure within the Great Sun continued to proclaim:

"I shall deliver punishment on behalf of heaven, starting in this city, by slaying the people of Sakata Heavy Industries."

As his voice fell.

Under the terrified gazes of many, the light of the Great Sun poured down like a mighty river descending from the heavens!

Inside the Sakata Heavy Industries Building, most of the regular employees had long since fled. Those who remained were mostly mid- and high-level executives.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to leave, but that they were locked in place by the aura of the blurry figure in the sky, completely unable to escape!

The twelve Celestial Humans trembled, their faces filled with alarm, but it quickly turned into grim resolve.

"We have to fight!"

One of the Celestial Humans roared.

"We can’t escape! There’s no way out! All we can do is fight and try to stall for time!"

The Celestial Humans looked at one another. No one backed down. They all knew there was no path of retreat behind them; turning to flee meant certain death!

Instantly, they joined forces. Projecting their own Spiritual Radiance, each transformed into a Great Sun, smashed through the roof of the skyscraper, and soared into the sky!

The twelve Great Suns linked together and, under countless horrified gazes, shot toward the blurry figure in the sky to meet his attack!

Their ferocious momentum was relentless, like an ocean tide. The entire city shook with its ripples!

"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot."

The blurry figure’s voice was frigid. He formed the Great Seal that could topple the heavens with one hand and the Immortal Slayer Sword Qi with the other. Channeling the Primordial Body, cloaked in deep shadow, he flipped his palms, unleashing the force of a collapsing sky!

Thirteen suns collided.

...

「Shengjing, Federation Public Opinion Research and Management General Department, also known as the Public Opinion Research Department.」

According to the Federation’s institutional structure, a "Bureau" is a city-level administrative body, while a "Department" is a provincial-level one.

A "General Department," naturally, was a planet-level administrative body that oversaw them all.

As the Federation Capital, Shengjing was the largest and most prosperous city on the entire Ancestor Star, including its three colonial planets.

Not only did Longque Technology have its headquarters here, but the general departments of all the various administrative bodies were also established in the city.

Meanwhile, inside the Public Opinion Research Department.

"Data analysis shows a public opinion event is brewing." A staff member yawned, casually opened the report automatically generated by the AI, and glanced at it. His expression changed drastically.

The next second, he scrambled over to the main console and slammed the big red button. The emergency alert that followed blared throughout the entire Public Opinion Research Department building.
