He Was No Ordinary Well-Connected Man

Shen Muheng swallowed hard and asked with difficulty:

"My lord, is there some misunderstanding? This Deity Statue was carved in your likeness, so why did you... destroy it? Are you dissatisfied?"

Wuma Xiu glanced back at him, surprised that the other person would still follow him like this. He casually said:

"It was an eyesore, so I blew it up. Do you have any objections?"

Shen Muheng: "... Huh?"

He didn't know what to say for a moment.

Does it look like an eyesore?

Is it an eyesore?

This is Deity Statue he paid for to build; it's the face of the Sea God Church, a sacred object that countless believers worship day and night. Yesterday, it was blown up by the Sea God himself with a single sentence. "It's an eyesore."

Is there anything more absurd than this in the world?

If it were anyone else who did it, Shen Muheng would definitely fight them to the death. But the person standing in front of him was none other than the genuine Sea God himself.

The other party destroyed their own Deity Statue, and it seems like nothing happened?

"No problem, of course there's no problem at all."

Shen Muheng smiled. As long as his god was willing, he was not afraid to let the other party blow up his idol, let alone the Deity Statue.

Wait, let's forget about this one.

Cherish life.

Shen Muheng was awkwardly scratching the back of his head.

Suddenly, an overwhelming pressure descended from the sky.

The oppressive force came extremely quickly, as if the entire sky had suddenly sunk, rendering everyone immobile.

The hall, which had been in chaos just moments before, fell silent in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, the pile of rubble on the ground began to move.

The shattered stones rose one by one, gradually piecing the broken Deity Statue back together inch by inch.

The stone chips returned to their places, the cracks closed, and even the blown-out face regained its original Deity Statue features.

In a short while, the shattered Deity Statue, as if time had reversed, stood perfectly intact again in the hall.

The golden light shimmered, even brighter than before.

And in the sky, a pair of enormous eyes opened.

Those eyes were icy blue, unfathomable, like the entire ocean condensed into a single point—stunningly beautiful, yet a single glance instilled in one an indescribable fear from the depths of one's heart.

No one told them what was going on, but the moment those eyes appeared, the same thought arose in the minds of all the believers.

Those are the eyes of the Sea God.

Meanwhile, far away in the Divine Realm's God King Palace, the Sea God sat upright on his Divine Throne. He closed his eyes, withdrawing the gaze that had just pierced through the Sea of Stars.

A moment later, the corners of his lips curved into a smile, and he chuckled softly.

"She's quite vengeful."

He could easily see through the true nature of the being's little scheme.

They blew up his Deity Statue and wrecked his place; it was clear they were venting all the anger they'd been holding in for the past month.

If anyone else dared to do that, he wouldn't even bat an eyelid; he would simply unleash a Divine Power to strike them down.

But ironically, it was the main body that took action.

That's a different story.

It's okay to fry them for fun, but we still need to make it look real.

After all, he is now the God King. Not to mention countless eyes in the mortal realm watching him, there are also many in the Divine Realm. If he doesn't react at all when his Deity Statue is blown up, it would seem rather strange.

Sea God raised his hand and tapped his fingertips on the armrest.

The pale blue Divine Power transformed into a simple edict and disappeared into the void.

And here

A majestic voice suddenly rang out from the sky, containing only one word.

[Punish.]

The moment the word "execute" was uttered, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky. The lightning was so bright that everyone in the hall involuntarily closed their eyes.

When they opened their eyes again, they saw only a layer of scorched earth remaining on an open ground.

It seems that the lightning bolt just now struck someone.

But who is that person? What does he look like?

Engulfed by lightning, no one could see clearly. They only caught a glimpse of a figure shattering into ashes within the lightning.

Shen Muheng was kneeling on the ground when he secretly glanced up.

The spot where the lightning struck was clearly empty, yet it seemed as if a figure was standing within that flash of lightning.

How strange!

Shen Muheng's heart skipped a beat, and another absurd thought popped into his head, but he quickly extinguished it.

He then glanced at Wuma Xiu beside him.

Everyone around him knelt down, but he remained standing.

If this person isn't the Sea God, then how is it possible for them to stand under the Sea God's oppressive aura?

Shen Muheng swallowed hard and buried his face even lower.

Now, only one person remains standing in the entire Sea God Church headquarters, and that person is Wuma Xiu. When the lightning struck just now, he was standing in the crowd, his posture very relaxed.

Fear? What does he have to be afraid of?

If that guy really dares to chop me up, haha, putting everything else aside, are all those Old Self of his just sitting around doing nothing? Besides, if my parents find out, they'll definitely give this God King a good dressing down.

He, Wuma Xiu, is no ordinary person with connections.

Let alone ordinary people, even those prominent gods in the Divine Realm would have to consider whether they are powerful enough to harm him.

[To be executed].

Did the other person just call him a pig?

The pair of giant, icy blue eyes in the sky were now staring at Wuma Xiu.

He raised his head and met the challenge openly, scoffing inwardly, giving the sky the middle finger, and silently uttering two words: "Pretentious."

Then a line of text appeared before him.

[If you bomb my My God again, I'll throw you to other gods so they can disgust you to death.]

Wuma Xiu's expression changed drastically.

He wasn't afraid of any other threats. Even if someone wanted to fight him head-on, he could summon his Old Self if he couldn't win.

But that sentence...

Hiss.

Regardless of whether the other party would actually do it, just seeing that line of text in front of him made Wuma Xiu feel like vomiting.

"Vomit--"

He covered his mouth, his face turning pale, and his previous fearless demeanor instantly crumbled.

Forget it, forget it, I can't afford to mess with him, I really can't afford to mess with him.

Wuma Xiu looked at the middle finger he had just raised, then quickly withdrew it, his hands hanging neatly at his sides, looking completely innocent as if he hadn't done anything.

The giant, icy blue eyes in the sky watched his series of actions, and the smile in their eyes deepened.

Is that what you call being cowardly? You're really sensible.

A little while later, the believers kneeling on the ground suddenly felt the oppressive force from the sky dissipate.

Then golden light poured down from the sky, falling on them and making them feel warm and cozy.

"A miracle, this is a miracle."

Many people reached out to catch the golden light, their faces filled with joy.

A warm golden light poured down from the sky.

Tiny golden rays scattered and fell, landing on everyone's shoulders, hair, and palms...

"A miracle... this is a miracle!"

Someone shouted first, and soon, gasps of surprise echoed from the crowd. The believers looked up and reached out their hands to catch the falling specks of light.

The golden light touched his palm, turning into a warm sensation that seeped into his body through his skin, bringing him a renewed sense of peace.

"The Sea God has appeared!"

"The Sea God is protecting us!"

Shen Muheng stood in the crowd and reached out to catch a handful of golden light, feeling a warm sensation in his palm.

He glanced sideways at Wuma Xiu beside him, his heart filled with joy.

At that moment, he felt as if he were the only one sober in a world of drunks.

Haha, you didn't expect that, did you? The Sea God was right beside him.

Hmph, only a loyal follower of the Sea God like myself is qualified to know the truth behind today's miracle.
