Cast Down to the Mortal Dust

"Is this the Circuit City God?"

Qiu Yan's divine form also rose and bowed, then his senses enveloped the area, revealing the entire scene in mid-air.

A faint blue light condensed into a semi-transparent face, radiating majesty. If a mortal looked directly at it, their eyes would sting and their heart would be filled with fear. However, the perception of the deity was not affected, and they could see it clearly.

His face was clear, with regular features. One could vaguely discern a handsome face with distinct angles. His eyes exuded an air of disdain, as if he didn't take the gods in the hall seriously at all.

A faint aura of majesty spread out, quickly filling the entire Underworld Main Hall.

Solidification!

The People's Wishes, the Divine Sense, and even the divine power of the City God that maintains the operation of the Underworld Office all flowed through the main hall and came to a standstill under the oppressive force!

Majesty!

The gods all felt a tremor and awe rising in their hearts! It was as if they had encountered a natural enemy; it was a fear that came from an instinctive instinct!

"Um?"

The true self felt a sense of unease and fear within, along with a feeling of alienation.

"What's going on? This feeling of fear came out of nowhere, as if it were imposed on me. The Circuit City God is Fourth Grade deity, so why is there such a huge difference in majesty compared to the Fifth Grade Metropolitan City God of the Capital? Even a deity is suppressed by divine might!"

The next moment, the nine hundred and ninety-nine Divine Power Stars within the Divine Body began to rotate, and strands of Incense Faith seeped out, merging into one, analyzing the source of this sense of fear.

On the other hand, a vast surge of thought erupted from the luminous face, transforming into thunderous words—

"Very good! Very good! I haven't Soul Split attention to Yuanning Prefecture for a long time. I didn't expect that the humble Divine Office of the past has gathered so many deities. Yin Xiao'e, you've done well! I'm sure your Personal Knowing this."

His voice was clear and bright, yet it revealed an unfathomable divine power, like the sky, giving one the feeling that sunshine and rain could change in an instant.

"You flatter me, Circuit City God," replied Yuanning Metropolitan City God, the Yin Xiao'e of Yuanning. Her words were cold and distant, as if she didn't want to say another word.

"Still the same temperament. Your father is just as stubborn as you, and he still refuses to take office." The radiant face spoke, his gaze sweeping across the many deities with an almost tangible intensity.

The gods whose gaze swept over them all trembled slightly.

Noticing those two gazes, the main body immediately stopped circulating Incense Faith, gathered its divine power, became introspective and calm, and used the writings of Sage to stabilize its mind. However, when the gazes swept over the Divine Body, a slight tremor still rose from the bottom of its heart. After the gazes swept over, the Incense Faith rushed over and captured the source of that tremor.

"Hmm? This slight tremor, though it arose from the depths of my heart, is connected to that screen in the Divine Office Hall!"

The "screen" that this deity envisioned was the one behind the City God's throne, depicting mountains, rivers, cities, houses, and fields, filled with the Votive Thoughts of the people of the city.

On the other side, after scanning the area, the gleaming face moved up and down, then laughed, "Although they are mostly a rabble, it's still quite a force. To have built such a team in just a few decades is enough to show your ability."

As he spoke the last few words, he kept looking at Yin Xiao'e.

"Alright, that's enough of the reminiscing. You should know why I've come here."

With that, the gleaming face let out a cold laugh and suddenly raised its voice, "I'm here on someone's behalf to handle some matters and investigate those responsible!"

As he spoke, the divine power surged even more, like a raging storm, causing the Divine Body of the gods to sway and even their divine power to be suppressed, sluggish, and obscure.

"Yin Xiao'e, if you take matters into your own hands and remove the deities involved from their Divine Rank, I will not pursue the matter further. This will also give Celestial Master Luo an explanation. Over the past hundred years, he has been sent to other Continent to promote the majesty of the Heavenly Court, which has been quite meritorious. We should give him some face."

At this point, the radiant face shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity your father is so old-fashioned. If he were willing to accept an official position, why would you need to worry about a mere Celestial Master?"

Yin Xiao'e didn't reply, but simply bowed slightly, then turned and walked towards Huang Jue and Bai Wenpan.

Seeing Huang Jue's hands and feet trembled, but he didn't say anything.

Upon reaching Huang Jue, Yin Xiao'e raised her hand, and a talisman flew out from the screen behind the City God's tablet and landed in her hand.

Upon seeing the talisman, Huang Jue's face turned pale, and fear burst forth from his eyes, almost solidifying into a tangible force. His Divine Body trembled violently!

Upon seeing this, the real person's pupils contracted.

"So that's how it is! So that's how it is! No wonder I couldn't find the talismans of the Judgement of Documents and the Kitchen God no matter how I tried to comprehend them before. It turns out that the Core Talisman of the divine Divine Rank I received after joining the Divine Office and being conferred a title is located outside!"

Upon realizing this, his heart was in turmoil. He understood how perilous it was to be a Divine Office subordinate to the Heavenly Court. It meant entrusting his future and Fortune to others, and with the slightest mishap, he could be dethroned in an instant!

At that moment, Yin Xiao'e's armored hand flashed, and with a sudden grab of her five fingers, the talisman shattered.

Huang Jue on the other side screamed in agony, his Divine Body twisting violently, and wisps of azure light rose up and dissipated into the air!

Immediately afterwards, the light on Huang Jue's body dimmed rapidly, the blue light faded and turned into white light, but in the blink of an eye, the white light also began to fade, his Divine Body trembled, he lost his human form, his body shrank, his back bulged, his hands stretched forward, his body leaned forward and he lay on the ground.

When the white light dissipated, there was no longer any South City Land God. Only a Living Soul remained, resembling a weasel, curled up in a ball, trembling.

Huang Jue's true form is actually a weasel!

"No wonder Huang Jue always spoke so casually about protecting humanity. It's because he is an anomaly. But he is kind-hearted and doesn't have much evil intentions or any desire to harm others. Yet now, because of Circuit City God, he forced the Capital Emperor to shatter his Core Talisman and be dethroned!"

Sensing the fear, sorrow, loss, and humiliation emanating from the weasel's spirit, the true self felt a surge of anger. His gaze shifted, landing on the luminous face.

The luminous face wore a smile as it stared intently at the weasel curled up in a ball.

On the other side, after Yin Xiao'e crushed the Core Talisman, she took a few more steps forward and arrived in front of the East City Land God.

Having learned from Huang Jue's example, the East City Land God could no longer remain calm. He immediately unleashed his divine power, attempting to break free from the oppressive aura. His entire body surged with azure light, and he roared—

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Capital! Huang Jue and I have followed you without ever betraying you. I do not blame you for your current predicament, but rather than fall from grace and live a life of misery, I, Gong Min, am willing to fight to the death. Please, Your Majesty, do not stop me!"

Upon hearing this, Yin Xiao'e trembled slightly, a momentary sadness passing through her mind. She then raised her hand and grabbed, and another Core Talisman flew out from the screen and landed in her hand.

The East City Land God sighed deeply, then his eyes flashed with resentment. He looked up and stared intently at the luminous face, roaring, "You gods, you think you control the world and manipulate Fortune and Karma? I, Gong Min, will risk everything..."

"Gong Min! How dare you be so rude!" Yin Xiao'e was shocked and rebuked him, but it was too late.

"Hahaha!"

A burst of wild laughter echoed in mid-air, followed by a gleaming face saying, "What are you? How dare you roar at me? You're nothing but a watchdog and a shepherd, yet you think you're a god? Before me, you are nothing!"

P. S.: It will probably be available sometime this month. I hope you can save some monthly votes to support it when it's released...
