Game Rules

Mingzhu City.

Many Awakened sensed the commotion outside the city.

One after another, they set aside their work, quickly left their homes, and looked beyond the city walls.

Suddenly, a huge wave of yellow mud rose high outside the city. It just cleared Mingzhu City's walls, yet stopped right beyond them, like spray from a fountain.

At the crest of the wave.

A skinny man stood on a surfboard. Looking at the many Awakened inside the walls, he laughed. "People of Mingzhu City, your daddy's back!!!"

Many Awakened rolled their eyes in unison.

Then they turned and went back indoors, though plenty of troublemakers enthusiastically cheered.

"Hua Junfu, your mom's dead!"

"Hua Junfu, you've still got the nerve to come back? Your mom got eaten by a fox."

"Dog Fu, hurry up and call me Daddy!"

Hua Junfu spun around atop his surfboard, then cupped a hand to his ear as if listening.

Once the enthusiastic "welcome" ended, he smiled. "I can feel your enthusiasm. Now... ahem, Zhang Ping, if you're a man, get out here. Your daddy's back, and it's about time I taught you how to be a son!"

All sound within the city abruptly fell silent as everyone looked toward Gui Tower.

He had just returned and was already trying to put the giant god Zhang Ping in his place. As expected of the leader of the Ten Heavenly Stems—this was going to be entertaining.

Many Awakened grinned as they prepared to watch the show, eagerly awaiting Zhang Ping's response.

If Zhang Ping backed down now, he would have a hard time holding his head up in Mingzhu City from now on.

Forget giant god.

His title might become "Coward God."

Gui Tower.

Zhang Ping frowned at the wave of earth taller than the city walls.
