Upper Realm, Ascension Platform.

Immortals and gods from the East and the West gathered here under the leadership of their respective leaders.

All the immortals and gods looked at the ruined pavilions and towers in front of them, unable to stop shivering in their hearts.

Damn it, what kind of monster is this down there!

The legendary most powerful ancient Divine King, the God of Space-Time, was actually beaten to the point of bleeding by him and even sent away with a single thunder blast.

Even the invincible Celestial Sect, recognized by all as formed from Heavenly Dao Power, was blasted open and hasn’t closed since.

Such a terrifying existence...

For a moment, every immortal and god felt in danger.

The two sides, who were previously bickering about whether to assist the Lower Realm, now had no time for such arguments.

They were just praying that this invincible father figure didn’t have any outrageous ideas.

Otherwise...

Considering the combat power he had shown earlier, the combined might of the Immortal Realm and the Divine Realm probably wouldn’t be enough to face him alone.

The Divine King worriedly inquired, "Are you sure this... this senior really has no issues?"

"I’m not sure, I’m not sure at all." The Celestial Emperor shook his head decisively, "From the feedback of destiny, this senior is very... unique, frequently having some wild ideas."

"..."

The Divine King was immediately stunned, looking at the Celestial Emperor with a gaze full of incredulity.

It was a look of doubt mixed with disbelief, almost as if encountering a scumbag.

"Weren’t you just passionately assuring us during the argument that this Violent Dragon Elder is a man of high moral standards, a model of virtue concerned about the world’s safety?"

"Nonsense, if I didn’t say that, would you short-sighted fools in the Western Divine Realm even react?" The Celestial Emperor showed a face of disdain, "Without the chivalrous stance of the Violent Dragon Elder, would we be here discussing such trivial matters now?"

The Divine King remained silent, his face alternating between red and white, and finally muttered, "Vulgar! As the leader of the Eastern Immortal Realm, can’t you speak more elegantly?"

"What bullshit are you spewing? Forgot what you were like before becoming a Divine King?" The Celestial Emperor cursed without any decorum, "A dropout like you trying to pose as a cultured person before me?"

"I..."

The Divine King was rendered speechless, blushing furiously.

He wanted to refute but remembering the boasts he just made, he wanted to come up with some scholarly words to give a good retort.

But alas...

His literacy level, akin to burying scholars and burning books, really wasn’t up to par.

Perhaps the Divine King had a high cultivation talent.

But in terms of cultural attainment... it was more like cultural papermaking.

Struggling for a long time and failing to come up with a proper retort, the self-proclaimed gentleman could only quietly curse in his heart.

It’s just like Zhu Bajie wearing glasses—pretending to be refined.

Just as the Divine King, entangled in his thoughts, finally managed to think of a decent word to start his counterattack, the Celestial Emperor’s previously casual expression suddenly became serious.

Some immortals and gods had already begun a small-scale uproar, almost constantly transmitting messages in the air.

"Here he comes!"

"The mysterious elder who defeated the God of Space..."

"Can he really defy the iron rules of the Upper Realm and just walk in?"

"Hard to say, feels like he probably can... maybe?"

"This elder seems to be from our Eastern Immortal Realm, I wonder if he will unify the Upper Realm?"

"Hiss..."

As the immortals and gods discussed, Lu Wenwu, accompanied by Mao Mao and with the True Monarch of Destiny following behind, was striding towards them swiftly.

The already fragmentary Celestial Sect was rudely kicked open by Lu Wenwu, shooting across the sky of the Celestial Realm like a meteor, destination unknown.

And he himself walked over with a bright and cheerful smile on his face.

He came in!

He actually got in!

He’s alright!

Not only the Violent Dragon Elder was fine, even the dog named Mao Mao was unscathed!

The master-pet duo passed through the Celestial Sect unharmed, appearing on the Ascension Platform, causing another uproar among the immortals and gods in the Upper Realm.

Their eyes almost bulged out in astonishment.

This signifies what!

This signifies the first time in over ten thousand years that the iron rule was broken!

It signifies that part of the power held by the Heavenly Dao had lost its effect and power on them!

That immensely powerful, rules-based strength, which even ancient immortals and gods found hard to resist, was ineffective on them!

That’s the all-powerful Heavenly Dao!

Following behind the man and his dog, the True Monarch of Destiny finally relaxed, seeing that Lu Wenwu and Mao Mao were unharmed.

Thankfully, thankfully...

Even though he had complex feelings about Lu Wenwu now, the deep bonds forged over the past few months were not false.

He absolutely did not want Lu Wenwu and Mao Mao to be erased by the rules like that.

Compared to the shock of the immortals and gods, Lu Wenwu remained quite calm about this.

Having realized that this place was transformed into a game-like field, he had already guessed what the so-called rules were about.

Just a minor hurdle to stop low-tier NPCs, nothing magical.

All creatures in their world were created from nothing by the "dev team," leaving some detection mechanisms and backdoors at will to erase someone wasn’t very difficult.

Just like how a game dev team on Blue Star could easily delete an NPC by wiping out its code.

But Lu Wenwu and Mao Mao...
