The Will of a God? A World in Chaos

Inside the Heaven-Swallowing Bag.

Chen Ning landed on the ground in one step.

A look of surprise appeared on his face.

"The power of this Divine Artifact is indeed remarkable; in this space, it's impossible to distinguish between its real and fake forms."

For ordinary people...

Whether in the real world outside or in the world Heaven-Swallowing Bag, they are almost identical.

However, here...

Daytime.

Night.

All of these are regulated by the Heaven-Swallowing Bag.

It's basically like a small world of its own.

The spirit of the Divine Artifact is an absolute deity in this context.

Establish rules.

To control the world.

"Sect Leader Chen, the Palace Master said that the Spirit of the Heaven-Devouring Bag has taken human form in this inner world and is ruling over this small world."

One of the children spoke up.

His name Shouming, and he seemed more composed than the other child.

The other one, still somewhat childish, is called Shouxin.

Hearing his words, Chen Ning nodded. Although the Heaven-Swallowing Bag had only developed a wisp of intelligence, it was still quite normal for it to take human form in its own world.

"Sect Leader Chen, Scarlet Flame City is just ahead."

The little boy named Shouxin pointed ahead.

Chen Ning also looked over.

Before the three of them stood a towering and majestic city.

"The Heaven-Swallowing Bag is indeed powerful; it actually swallowed an entire city whole."

Chen Ning expressed his sincere admiration.

But at this moment, there was chaos in front of the city gate.

A fierce battle broke out between several groups.

Let's go take a look.

Chen Ning said something.

Then they walked towards the city gate.

Two children followed.

As they drew closer, the sounds of fighting grew louder.

The cries of women and children were also mixed in.

"Please... please spare my child..."

A woman kept kowtowing to a burly man with a leopard's head, but he remained unmoved and instead drew his knife to slash at the infant child.

The woman tightly closed her eyes, protecting her child, but the cleaver she had imagined never came down.

The burly man's cleaver was deflected by the stone thrown by Shouxin.

Realizing what was happening, he glared at her and said angrily, "Are you looking for death?"

The child was clearly only six or seven years old, and he was not afraid.

"Do you have any grudges against us? Why would you slaughter an infant in its swaddling clothes?"

Shouxin followed Zhuge Yu closely, and over time he developed a heart that wanted to punish evil and promote good.

This was also his first time leaving the old palace master and coming into contact with the realities of everyday life, so naturally he couldn't bear to see such a scene.

"It's none of your business! I'm stronger than her, so I can kill them."

Shouxin is ultimately a childlike state of mind; upon hearing such barbaric arguments, one cannot help but turn pale with anger.

"And you, I'll smash you into mincemeat right now!"

The burly man with the leopard-like head charged forward with his fist once more.

He was a martial artist at the Spirit Martial Realm, and his punch carried the force of ten thousand jin.

However, Shouxin unleashed a flying sword, its brilliant light instantly shattering the opponent's iron fist.

His skin was instantly torn open.

The burly man was dumbfounded, never expecting that such a small brat would actually carry Supreme-Grade Mystic Artifact with him.

Artifacts are categorized into Divine Artifact, Spirit Artifact, Mystic Artifact, and Mortal Artifact.

Ordinary martial artists only use Mortal Artifact; even low-grade Mystic Artifact are extremely valuable. I never expected that the guy opposite me would have Supreme-Grade Mystic Artifact.

Seeing this.

The burly man then fled into a group of men.

Among these people were many experts at the Earth Martial Realm.

Although the two children had some skill, they were clearly no match for the others due to their young age.

At this time.

This sudden turn of events caused all the parties involved to cease their fighting.

They all looked at Chen Ning and his two companions.

Shouxin didn't pay any attention to it, but went to the woman's side and helped her up.

"My little benefactor, you must leave quickly! You've offended Lei Bao; they won't let you off the hook. You must escape to Autumn Water City; it hasn't completely fallen yet."

The woman spoke urgently.

"Don't worry, we don't need to run away; they're the ones who should be running."

Shouxin ensures composure in the face of danger.

With the strongest young sect Sect Leader Chen, present, these guys are nothing but ants. That burly man named Lei Bao wasn't even worth Sect Leader Chen's attention.

Chen Ning, however, gleaned a clue from the woman's words.

But now is not the time to ask those questions; we need to get rid of these troublesome guys first.

A thought crossed my mind.

The power of Poison Dao is unleashed.

The crowd fell in waves, like wheat being harvested.

But it wasn't fatal; it just paralyzed all their senses. We still need to figure everything out before we can proceed.

Approaching the woman, Chen Ning asked, "What did you mean when you said that Autumn Water City hadn't fallen yet?"

The woman answered truthfully, "It's the gods! It's the will of that god. He demands that everyone follow their hearts and do as they please. Those who uphold the law and order have been imprisoned by that god. Scarlet Flame City is now a hell on earth!"

The woman broke down in tears as she spoke.

It seemed like a terrifying scene was flashing through my mind.

After listening to the woman's detailed explanation, Chen Ning understood everything.

The will of the gods has caused many people's desires to grow ever larger.

Without the constraints of laws and good customs, the evil of some people is exposed and intensifies.

The so-called deity was naturally the Spirit of the Heaven-Devouring Bag.

The groups of people fighting in front of the city gate were all vying for resources within the city.

The scene in the city was even more shocking.

As Chen Ning and the two children entered the city, they felt it was just as the woman had described—a veritable hell on earth.

Black smoke filled the air everywhere.

Many buildings in the city were reduced to ruins.

Without the constraints of rules, destruction arises naturally.

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

The lives of those living in the city were even more precarious.

Countless corpses lay strewn across the streets.

The elderly, the weak, women, and children were all present.

Amidst this chaos, the kindest of people are the most miserable.

On the contrary, those who commit numerous evils thrive in this chaos.

Upon seeing this, the two children gritted their teeth and angrily said, "This Shouxin Divine Artifact is no longer just unruly; its sins are far too grave! Sect Leader Chen, we must save Scarlet Flame City!"

"Shouxin, let's not act rashly and listen to Sect Leader Chen's instructions."

Shouming is a relatively calm and composed person.

He spent two more years by the old palace master's side than Shouxin.

They received more influence from the environment.

Chen Ning nodded. "We can't save them on our own. The only way now is to lure out the Spirit of the Heaven-Devouring Bag and solve the problem at its source."

The two children clasped their hands in unison, indicating that they would follow Sect Leader Chen's instructions.

In the dead of night.

Shouming sat on the eaves of a house, observing the stars and cultivating his spiritual practice.

At this moment.

A mischievous figure approached him from behind.

The figure was also a child who looked to be a few years old.

Approaching stealthily.

The footsteps were almost silent.

In his hand, he held a short blade, which he slowly, very slowly approached Shouming's neck.

"You're getting bolder and bolder, aren't you? You even want to attack me?"

Clang!

One sentence was uttered.

This caused the child behind the Shouming to drop the short blade in his hand.
