Western Continent Heavenly Realm.

The once white jade palaces and pavilions were all reduced to ruins.

Above the sea of clouds, countless architectural fragments and golden and silver blood embellish the place into a quiet and desolate picture.

Pfft, pfft, pfft.

A burst of extremely rhythmic footsteps slowly spread among the ruins.

The footsteps were unconcealed, as if they were deliberately stepping on the ground of the sea of clouds to make a sound for others to hear.

Obviously the ground here is covered with clouds, so there is no way to make such a dull sound.

But that person.

"Don't... don't be afraid. He can't find us! The place where we are hiding is very hidden. I have eliminated all traces of breath, spirit, soul, etc. Even Hades cannot find this place!"

Under the ruins, in a small egg-shaped space shining with a faint silver light, the God of Fire Ophinia whispered to comfort his two daughters behind him. "Father... what on earth is that!? Why did even the King of Gods just meet him...!?" One of the daughters, the God of Warmth Nia, Lihua Daiyu, asked with fear on her face.

"I... don't know. I only know that that guy destroyed Eastern Heavenly Court. Now, it's our turn. He came to our door before our migration plan could be implemented..." Vulcan Ophinia tried hard to steady his voice to prevent it from trembling.

He knows that now he is the only support for his two daughters. If he loses his composure, maybe without that guy, they will collapse under the huge psychological pressure in an instant.

"I don't want to die... Even if I go to the underworld, it shouldn't be like this... It shouldn't be..." Another daughter, the God of Hot Springs, cried, and the tears on her face turned into thin golden lines. After dripping on the ground, they quickly expanded and turned into golden puddles the size of a basin.

Her tears are natural liquid gold.

"Don't be afraid...! I'm here, I'm here..." Vulcan reached out and gently pulled the two daughters over, lowered his head, kissed their long hair, and pulled it apart.

But at this moment.

The three people's bodies stiffened suddenly, and they slowly looked up.

I saw that the translucent membrane above this hidden egg-shaped space was gently torn open by a big hand. At the opening, a confused face of a man was looking at them in a distracted manner.

Those light green eyes were clearly staring at them, but you could feel that his attention was not on the three Vulcans.

This is a very ordinary-looking man with black hair and green eyes.

He has a fair complexion and a few freckles on his face. He seems to be very young. He is wearing a simple to somewhat old gray cloth straight-top suit.

This is an extremely simple piece of clothing in ancient times. A long strip of cloth is dug with a hole in the middle, and then the person's head is pushed through the hole. The cloth is divided into two parts, the front and back, to cover the front and back of the body respectively.

Then a belt was tied around the waist, turning it into gender-neutral ancient human clothing.

"So you are hiding here... I have been looking for you for a long time." The man's voice was soft.

"You...!!!!" Vulcan's voice was trembling, and he finally couldn't control his fear, because in just these few years, he had seen with his own eyes how this man could easily tear apart all the gods who tried to resist.

Any Divine Power or any power will instantly disintegrate and dissipate within a certain range of this person.

Only through actual close combat can one barely be qualified to fight against the opponent.

"I don't mean any harm." The man said sincerely at this time. "I just want to ask a question."

"Wha... what!?" Vulcan said through gritted teeth.

"I don't know what I should do..." the man said softly, "I've lost my way... I don't know where to go..." "Then leave! Leave here, this is not the place you should be!" Vulcan said loudly.

"But there is food for me here." The man shook his head. "I just lost the direction of existence... Maybe you can help me." "I don't know what you are talking about!? Get out! Leave quickly! Get out of here!!" Vulcan was forced by the anxiety in his heart to become more fearful and angry. "It's great... people like you, with clear goals and ideas, may never be confused. Maybe if I eat you... I will become more sober." The man sighed.

"Kill!"

Hearing this, Vulcan finally no longer took any chances, and instantly pulled out the war hammer on his back, roared, and turned into red lightning and rushed towards the opponent. The huge Divine Power that had been accumulated for thousands of years poured into the hammer at this moment and hit the man's face heavily.

If this hammer were to hit the outside world, it would be enough to destroy an entire large mountain range at once. This was a blow with all his strength. It could even directly cause the crust of a small planet to collapse, causing a large-scale earthquake.

At this moment, all the huge power was gathered in this small one-meter-long war hammer, and they all bombarded the green-eyed man.

Snap.

But the next moment, Vulcan's war hammer froze completely.

He stopped strangely just one centimeter away from the man.

It wasn't that he wanted to stop, but a hand, like an arm carved from white jade, firmly grasped the handle of the war hammer at some point, forcing his blow to stop instantly.

Every movement and stillness seemed extremely abrupt, as if the terrifyingly huge force didn't exist at all.

This is obviously a phenomenon that only occurs when the power gap between the two sides is extremely large.

"Father!!" At this time, the two goddesses behind finally overcame their fear. They stood up and one of them pulled out a short sword and flew towards the man. The two weaker Divine Power merged together, turned into an orange meteor, and suddenly hit the man's side arm.

Bang!!!

All Divine Power were forcibly absorbed by an inexplicable devouring force at the moment of impact, and entered the man's skin.

Broken Sword, on the other hand, simply drew two sparks on the outside of his arm and made no further achievements.

Puff!

The green-eyed man turned to look at the two goddesses, and two green lights shot out from his eyes, instantly piercing their foreheads.

The next moment, the bodies of the two goddesses, who had not yet completely expired, were like noodles, deforming, twisting, and melting into two masses of red liquid, which flew into the skin of the outside of the man's arm and disappeared.

"No!!" Vulcan's eyes showed incomparable pain, and his whole body turned red rapidly. Divine Power became more and more violent. At this moment, there was no limit at all, and it was intensified from the inside in the most violent way.

Boom!!!

Suddenly there was a loud noise.

A golden red sun appeared above the ruins.

But the sun only appeared for a moment, then quickly shrank, faded, and disappeared.

Instead, the still unscathed body of the green-eyed man appeared at the same place. He glanced at the empty egg-shaped hiding spot with confused eyes, and then continued walking away.

Not long after, he seemed to have made a new discovery, turned a corner, and walked towards another ruins in the distance.

In a remaining fairy palace bedroom, he saw the lightning god Oxin hiding under the bed.

"I don't know what I should do..." The man's soft voice sounded again.

"Go away!! Don't come here, you disgusting monster!!" A shrill female voice came from the fairy palace.

But soon, within two seconds, everything became quiet again.

The man flew out of the ruins and continued to move into the distance.

He always seemed to be able to accurately find the places where the gods were hiding, without searching, he just went there.

Not long after.

"I don't know that I should."

The same voice, the same words, sounded in a hidden corner of the original place.

mortal world.

"What is the meaning of life? Have you ever thought about this question?"

Iron Buddha Temple Deep underground.

The previously hidden immortal was currently carefully preparing a special formation in the underground palace to connect to the heaven.

He wanted to prove to Lin Hui that the real changes in heaven were what he said.

When Lin Hui, who was watching on the sidelines, asked this question, the old monk who called himself Iron Buddha trembled involuntarily.

He turned and glanced at Lin Hui.

"I... I don't know. Anyway, it's better to die than to live. If you can live, you have to live enough to have such an opportunity." "What you said is very similar to a friend of mine. He told me that living should be for happiness. But I can't find happiness." Lin Hui continued. "Happiness is relative. You must first have pain and discomfort before happiness can be compared. If you don't have these two, naturally you won't have much happiness." Iron Buddha quickly answered.

He is worthy of being a Buddhist immortal, and his thoughts are indeed profound.

Lin Hui felt it made sense and nodded slowly.

"But since you want to live, why do you still do such meaningless tricks in front of me?" he continued.

..." Iron Buddha froze, knowing that he had been seen through. A golden light flashed from his hand, finally activating the layout of the formation. He turned around and cautiously opened the distance between him and Lin Hui.

"Because I don't want to contact Heaven at all, that's asking for death! I've already said that you want to know yourself, why do you have to drag me along!" Iron Buddha handprints were quickly concluded, and the golden light circle covering the two of them under their feet became brighter and brighter, becoming more and more dazzling.

"I told you to go up and have a look first, so of course you go up. After all, I can't just believe whatever you say, right?" Lin Hui replied sternly as if he hadn't seen the formation on the ground.

"Too much bullying!!" Iron Buddha looked at the other party's indifferent expression, and suddenly the anger that had been accumulated for many years in his heart was ignited like a powder keg. After hiding for so many years, all kinds of resources and wealth were dissipated, and in the end, he was humbled to this level, and he was actually forced to come to his door. With such pressure every step of the way, even a Buddha has fire.

Of course, he also had his own thoughts. In this era when everyone kept their tail between their legs and did not dare to make any big moves, the man in front of him could actually display his strength at will in a swagger. He could clearly feel that some of the opponent's power was quickly dissipating with his shots, but the opponent seemed not to care.

This was the root of what he really wanted to explore. Seize the opponent and find out his true identity. If the opponent had his own source of strength, then this trip might be able to completely get rid of the current embarrassment.

If the other party has only accumulated extremely powerful skills, then using Kung Fu to deprive him of his cultivation level can somewhat make up for his own consumption.

"Let you see for a moment, my true heritage as a Buddha!" Iron Buddha suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed it.

In an instant, an invisible force completely solidified and locked the space around Lin Hui.

With Lin Hui as the center, all spaces within a radius of about three meters. The air, dust, microorganisms, etc., are all completely fixed at this moment and cannot move.

"Is this?" Lin Hui experienced the magic of heaven for the first time.

This is completely different from the feeling of the Earth Immortal. The other party seems to directly control the space around him, not the air. This seems to have the same effect as the ability to control the airflow obtained by Star Breath Sword Classic.

There is not much consumption, the other party seems to just use a method similar to transmitting signals to transmit a little information.

Then the space around him spontaneously solidified.
