Chen Du landed, Xiaokui was already waiting there, her four tails standing straight up, her golden vertical pupils filled with barely suppressed anxiety.
It jumped onto Chen Du's shoulder, its voice much faster than usual. "Do you know what you just did?"
Chen Du didn't speak, but simply raised his hand to wipe the dust off his knuckles.
Without waiting for his reply, Xiaokui continued, "You destroyed an entire starship, the vanguard of the Kema People. Do you know what that means?"
Its tail swished loudly. "The Kema People won't send another starship. Next time, they'll send a fleet, ten, a hundred, it's all possible."
Moreover, there will definitely be Tenth Tier expert in charge. Tenth Tier, do you know what Tenth Tier means? And they are very likely already on their way. At the speed of a starship, they might arrive within a few days!
After listening, Chen Du remained silent for a moment before speaking, "I was careless. I thought the news about ten days was true, but I didn't expect them to arrive so close together. If I had returned a day or two later, humanity on Blue Star would be gone."
Xiaokui paused for a moment, then sighed, "You didn't do it on purpose. Who would have thought those Kema People would be so cunning? But it's no use talking about it now."
It patted Chen Du's ear with its paw. "The key question is, what do we do next? A hundred starships, Tenth Tier powerhouses—can you handle them all by yourself?"
Chen Du raised his eyes and looked towards the distant horizon. The thick smoke from the starship wreckage had not yet dissipated, and the ruins of the cities he had destroyed were still emitting sporadic flames.
He observed for a while, then slowly said, "Even if we can't hold on, we have to. At worst, we'll wipe out the entire Kema People tribe."
Xiaokui opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
It stared at Chen Du's profile, the anxiety in its golden vertical pupils slowly turning into an indescribable complexity.
It suddenly realized that when this human said the words "wipe out the Kema Clan," his tone was as casual as if he were saying, "Go down the mountain to buy two pounds of rice."
That calm sent a chill down its spine.
"I said," Xiaokui finally found her voice, lowering her tone, "What exactly happened to you? How long did it take you to go from Eighth Stage to Ninth Tier? One day? Or two days? This doesn't make any sense."
Even the greatest geniuses in the universe couldn't possibly overcome that hurdle in such a short time. What exactly happened to you?
Chen Du did not answer immediately.
He looked down at his hand; the outline of the Heavenly Master Divine Seal faintly appeared on his palm before slowly fading away.
He recalled those sixty years in the Celestial Master Realm.
For sixty years, he swept the ground on Longhu Mountain, studied Daoism, and comprehended the Dharma.
But to Xiaokui, and to everyone on Blue Star, he had only disappeared for a day.
In a single day, he went from the Eighth Stage to the Ninth Tier, and even with a golden divine seal of unknown origin, he withstood the main cannon of a starship.
This kind of thing seems illogical to anyone.
"Some things," he finally said, only three words, "We'll talk about them later."
Xiaokui stared at him for a long time, then flicked her tail and stopped asking questions.
It jumped off Chen Du's shoulder, landed on a rock, licked its paws, and muttered, "Fine, if you don't want to tell me, I'm too lazy to ask. Just remember, next time the Kema People come, there will definitely be more than one starship. You'd better be prepared."
Chen Du did not wait.
The cooldown period for [Myriad Worlds Traversal] hadn't expired, so he couldn't immediately travel to another world to seek new opportunities.
But that doesn't mean he has nothing to do. On the contrary, there's something he should have done a long time ago.
Massive cleanup!
His first stop was Magic City, the city where he had once lived in a rented room and eaten at Shaxian snack shops, a city that still bears the scars of the Black-Feathered Bird attack.
He hovered above the city, the Heavenly Master Divine Seal in his palm, and the [Taiyi Xuanhuang Grand Celestial Master Position] and [Orthodox Unity Pure Source Celestial Master Seat] unfolded simultaneously.
The Spiritual Power spread out like a tide, covering the entire city and even extending to the surrounding area for hundreds of miles.
In his perception, countless auras emerged.
Some are strong, some are weak; some are hidden, some are revealed.
The beauty lies in his ability to discern the "intention" contained within each breath.
Those who harbor malice towards humanity on Blue Star exude an aura of murderous intent and greed; no matter how deeply they hide, they are as conspicuous as torches in the night.
Those who harbor goodwill towards the humans of Blue Star possess a peaceful and gentle aura, even subtly conveying a sense of closeness.
Those who are ambiguous and hesitant remain unclear, neither actively harming others nor offering assistance.
Without hesitation, Chen Du raised his hand, and the Heavenly Master Divine Seal flashed with golden light.
Those auras filled with murderous intent and greed were instantly locked onto by the golden light.
The next moment, billions of divine lightning bolts descended from the sky, striking each malicious aura with the precision of divine punishment.
Those Extraterrestrial Races lurking throughout the Magic City, whether hidden underground, among crowds, or in abandoned buildings, were instantly crushed into nothingness by the golden light and divine lightning.
This cleanup is far more thorough!
And the atmosphere of goodwill and neutrality remained unharmed.
He turned and went to the next city.
Jinling, Lin'an, Gusu, River City... He traveled from city to city along the map of the Xia Kingdom.
Wherever he went, he spread his Divine Thoughts according to his Divine Status, used the Heavenly Master Divine Seal to distinguish between good and evil, and then suppressed and killed those with malicious intent.
Those Extraterrestrial Races, some were well hidden, and some even disguised themselves as humans, but all of this was exposed before the Heavenly Master Divine Seal.
Some powerful Extraterrestrial Races attempted to resist, but their power was crushed by the two Divine Status, and they couldn't even create a ripple.
With just a thought, Chen Du could completely annihilate his opponent with golden light.
He traveled through most of the Xia Kingdom, from east to west and from south to north.
Wherever they went, all the Extraterrestrial Races harboring ill intentions were annihilated.
Those alien races that had participated in hunting him down, besieging him, and secretly plotting to enslave the Blue Star disappeared from this land one by one.
Those Extraterrestrial Races that were benevolent or neutral towards humanity remained unharmed.
They watched the golden light flash across the sky, feeling the immense and irresistible power sweep over them, feeling both fortunate and awestruck.
Some even bowed deeply in the direction of the golden light on the spot.
Humanity across the entire Blue Star quickly learned of this.
The internet exploded again, but this time, no one doubted it.
Everyone witnessed the return of that "god" and heard firsthand the news that the Extraterrestrial Races that had once lurked in the shadows had been wiped out one by one.
Someone set off fireworks in the street.
Those alien races who were lucky enough to survive were more docile than ever before, not daring to approach the cities, but hiding far away in the wilderness, for fear that the golden light would mistake them for malicious individuals and kill them.
Chen Du took Xiaokui and returned to Mount Tai.
Since the Spiritual Qi Revival, the surface area of Blue Star has expanded to thousands of times its previous size.
And for sacred mountains like Mount Tai, the changes are even more exaggerated.
From a distance, it is no longer the majestic mountain of the Five Sacred Mountains that was once tamed by steps and cable cars, but a truly towering giant that reaches into the sky. Its body pierces the clouds, and the clouds can only linger around its waist, making it impossible to see even the summit.
The spiritual energy in the mountains is so dense that it cannot be dissolved; vegetation grows wildly, and strange beasts roam freely. Many places have completely transcended the scope of human understanding.
Chen Du followed the same route as before, only to find that Mount Tai was even larger than he remembered.
