Time passed serenely day by day, and soon it was almost December.

Early in the morning, Chen Shouyi found that heavy snow had fallen outside the window, covering the ground in a blanket of silver, like a thick layer of cream. Unnoticed, winter had already arrived.

After washing up, he went downstairs, and soon Chen Xingyue followed.

“Bro, such a heavy snow!” she exclaimed excitedly.

While eating porridge and reading the newspaper, Chen Shouyi replied absentmindedly with a “Hmm.” Having seen snow every day in the other world’s snowy mountains, he had long grown tired of it.

“Yesterday the principal asked me to invite you to the school’s New Year’s performance. Are you going?” Chen Xingyue asked.

“I’m not going!” Chen Shouyi replied.

“Then I’ll tell the principal.” Chen Xingyue wasn’t surprised at her brother’s response; she had anticipated it.

Apart from his strong abilities, her brother was pretty much a homebody who didn’t have many activities besides training every day. Invitations piled up at home, yet she never saw him go to any events.

Just then, the phone rang.

Chen Shouyi stood up to answer it: “This is Chen Shouyi!”

“This is the President.”

“Hello, Mr. President,” Chen Shouyi quickly said, “What can I do for you?”

“The evil cult issue you reported earlier, after investigation, turned out to be quite serious. Temples of a similar nature are everywhere across the country, so I’d like to ask you to take a trip to Southeast Asia…”

Chen Shouyi listened for a while and then said, “All right, no problem. You send me the specific information. By the way, would you like me to take Him out?”

The other side was silent for a moment, seemingly unable to keep up with Chen Shouyi’s pace.

“If possible… just a warning will suffice,” the President carefully phrased.

Now, in these troubled times, and with the major adversary of Lord of Lightning around, it’s hard-won stability in neighboring areas; the balance of power should not be disrupted. Stability is beyond all, and development is the hard truth.

What humanity lacks most is time.

“Okay, I understand,” Chen Shouyi said. After all, it’s a foreign country; he didn’t want to meddle further.

The two of them spoke a few more words and then hung up.

“Bro, did you get another mission?” Chen Xingyue asked.

Only then did Chen Shouyi realize that Chen Xingyue had overheard his conversation. Not caring much, he returned to his seat and said, “Just a small task; probably I’ll be out for a day or two.”

“What kind of task is it?”

“Just to deliver a message; someone is overreaching.”

…

A few hours later, Bai Xiaoling hurriedly delivered the documents. Snowflakes dotted her head and her jacket was somewhat wet:

“General Manager Chen, the documents you requested.”

“Aren’t there cars available? Why are you still riding a bike?” Chen Shouyi asked.

“These cars are assigned to you by the government for your use; how could I use them?” Bai Xiaoling hurriedly said.

“Just use it; I can’t drive anyway,” Chen Shouyi replied.

He preferred riding a bike; except for the nuisance of frequent attention from women, it was much better than a car.

Bai Xiaoling felt touched.

Kind, approachable, and of course, handsome.

General Manager Chen was simply like the incarnation of perfection.

“It would be bad if the news spread.”

Currently, these gasoline cars are not for everyone; without a certain status and rank, even having money won’t help. In the entire Zhonghai City, there are probably less than a hundred cars.

Chen Shouyi said this and didn’t continue persuading her, took the file bag, tore it open, and quickly browsed through.

This God of Fertility’s domain lies on the Malay Peninsula, part of the former Tai Buddha Country and another part of the former Maxi Country. The territory is small, comparable to the God of Conspiracy, and when compared to the God of Order occupying the entire Southern Ocean Peninsula, it’s completely insignificant.

Its strength is evidently not strong; probably about the same as the God of Conspiracy.

After looking for a while, he lost interest; it was not challenging at all. He stood up: “Notify my parents later; I may not be back tonight.”

“Understood, General Manager Chen.”

…

The snow fell thicker, gray and bleak.

Chen Shouyi walked to a secluded countryside area, kicked his foot against the ground, and a blast of air exploded, shredding the surrounding snowflakes. At the same time, his body soared into the sky.

Soon, he broke through the lead-gray clouds filled with ice crystals, reaching tens of thousands of meters in altitude.

The sunlight enveloped him again, and he identified the direction, racing on swiftly.

…

Tai Buddha Country.

Unlike the snow-laden Zhonghai City, this place was clear skies, bright sunshine.

A beautiful young lady and a lovely Tai Buddha Country maiden walked side by side on the street, both transcending the ordinary, beautiful as if stepping out of a painting, not seeming like mortals. Yet strangely, people around paid them no attention.

“Hehehe, you’re finished; go ahead, leave this world,” the maiden chuckled softly, a face full of schadenfreude, “Do you know why I didn’t infiltrate that vast human nation? There’s a huge number of billions of mortals and endless belief resources, but I remain honest because the dishonest have already perished, like the unlucky God of Blood.”

The beautiful young lady frowned slightly at this, evoking pity. These days a trace of unease sprouted in her heart, especially as her tendrils stretched towards the Great Xia Country were cut off one by one; this unease grew stronger day by day—a sense of impending doom.

“I’m just responding to the wishes of my followers; it’s not my fault…”

Divine Position is quite mystical, such as a Fertility divine position, as long as there are similar wishes and the other party worships a false god, the belief will be automatically absorbed by Her, inspired, becoming Her followers.

This is why the Child-Giving Guanyin was replaced unnoticed by Her, because only She on Earth possesses such a divine position.

“The Great Xia Country wouldn’t see it that way; it’s a mortal nation that even Lord of Lightning is helpless against.” The green dress maiden said this with a slight shock in her heart.

No god wasn’t concerned about that shocking war; it involved their own interests and safety. Everyone thought the entire Earth would be wiped clean by Lord of Lightning, yet no one expected the final result—a retreat caused by the Great Xia Country.

During this time, whether the God of Power, the God of Order, or She remained honest, fearing an attack from the Great Xia Country.

No one expected anyone to mess with the tiger’s whiskers.

Not just foolishness, completely idiotic.

“I…” The young lady was about to speak when a distant rumbling sound faintly echoed.

Both instinctively raised their heads, and just a glance made their bodies feel thunderstruck.

High up in the tens of thousands of meters, a figure flew swiftly across the sky, emitting powerful energy waves.

Seemingly sensing the two of them, the figure quickly swooped down this way, turning into a fireball, plummeting toward the ground.

The maiden opened her mouth, face full of terror, her voice sharp: “It’s that terrifying human!”

“Who is this?” The beautiful young lady asked, suspiciously.

The maiden suddenly reacted, looking at the young lady, fearing being implicated: “Get out, out, out, you’re not welcome here.”

Seeing the maiden’s terror-stricken expression, as if that figure was a divine-devouring demon, the young lady felt cold all over, her heart sinking into an abyss, and stood frozen in place.
