Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

Mayumi looked up at the sky, feeling that something was off.

"Damn it!"

bass!

Seeing that Mizuzuka had drawn his long sword from his waist with a backhand, his eyes blazing like fire.

He looked at Mayumi and realized he still had one chance—

"What the Jianli clan needs is a wind god, and who that wind god is is irrelevant!"

"Now……"

"If I kill this woman, I will be crowned king! This is my last chance!"

He attacked!

Chapter 354 First Display of Divine Power

Not far from Yaotai's house, on a rooftop, Zuo Chang stood with a celestial being perched on his back.

"Oh—a fight has broken out."

The gods spoke, their voices neither warm nor cold.

Zuo Chang was slightly nervous. He asked, "There shouldn't be any danger, right?"

"Yep."

"what?"

The god's face was blank as he continued, "The risk is that the bald man wielding the sword doesn't seem very strong. He might not be able to kill that bird, and he certainly can't defeat Yaotai Zhen Gong. If the bird and Zhen Gong don't die, the world's level won't drop."

Zuo Chang frowned: "Is this the danger you're referring to?"

"What else? Anyway, they're under my watchful eye. Their first death will be replaced by the 'mechanism,' so it's fine."

That makes sense.

Zuo Chang added, "Want to die? It's easy! Just fall headfirst onto the ground and you'll die from the impact."

"You won't get hit. Let me show you the detailed information I've been keeping an eye on; you'll understand after you see it."

The celestial being raised his hand, conjuring golden characters before Zuo Chang:

"Divine Favor": This is a complex blessing. The person who receives divine favor will be spared one death and, after death, will transform the entire world.

• Other Shore Soul Arrival: When you suffer fatal damage, prevent the damage and teleport you to the side of the "Celestial God". This effect can only be activated once. After activation, it removes the "Celestial God's Attention" and lowers the cultivation limit by one level, affecting all those who have used the convenience created by the Celestial God to improve their cultivation.

• Seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster: Under normal circumstances, you will avoid all possibilities that could lead to your death.

It's not a complicated ability.

Moreover, it seems to be very practical.

Zuo Chang asked, "What is the meaning of this 'seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster'?"

"The literal meaning. In my plan, a world downgrade is a safety net for me after I lose my power. If I can still control the situation, of course I can't just let the world level drop—you understand why?"

Zuo Chang thought he might understand.

If the gods truly exist, and all the experts at the fifteenth realm suddenly become the fourteenth realm, wouldn't others rebel?

They would definitely suspect that this was the work of the gods, who had finally torn off their mask of hypocrisy and begun to oppress all mankind!

But now, the gods are gone.

Those top-tier powerhouses who lost their power for no reason will surely cherish the days when the gods still existed.

Look at us now!

The gods have only been gone for a short time, and the fifteenth realm is already the same as the fourteenth realm!

I really don't dare to think about what will happen next!

"The desire to avoid disaster and seek good fortune is a genuine and powerful passive force. It can stimulate the survival instinct of those being observed. It doesn't mean that they will die just because they want to. In the final moments, their bodies will move on their own."

The deity sensed Zuo Chang's thoughts and continued speaking.

“If the Jianli clan swarmed in, Asuka and Mayumi might have been in danger if they had suppressed their survival instincts. But look at them now, only one of them charged in. There’s no way they could have died.”

Zuo Chang remained calm as he silently activated his Qi-absorbing eyes.

He saw—

Seeing the wind swirling around the Mizukazuka, he activated the Whirlwind Strike and thrust out his sword!

The next instant, two gusts of wind erupted simultaneously. Almost instinctively, Asuka and Mayumi activated their back-swept gales at the same time. Both of them were far more powerful than Mizuzuka Misato.

Kazuma Kenjiro originally wanted to protect the two people behind him to the death, hoping to earn some points for himself.

Unexpectedly, the powerful wind summoned by the flying bird and the true bow was so strong that it knocked him to the ground and pushed him all the way to the base of the wall before stopping!

This……

"So strong!"

The same thought simultaneously arose in the minds of the Jianli people.

Seeing that Mizuzuka was uneasy, he immediately abandoned his attack and jumped back three times before he felt barely safe. He held his sword across his chest, his face solemn.

"Be bold!"

"Protect General Asuka!"

The members of the Demon Slayer Corps were slightly taken aback, then stepped forward while shouting loudly.

Pear Leaf raised her hand, stopping everyone in their tracks.

Her eyes flickered as she thought to herself, "Jian Li Fei Niao is stronger than before... It seems that her experiences over the years have truly honed her. Her understanding and application of the Gale Sword Technique have surpassed mine, even without the power of the Wind God."

Upon closer examination, this is simply what should be done.

The enhancement of Wind God Power to Gale Sword Technique is obvious. When he led the team to besiege Jianli Fei Niao, he had Wind God Power against those without.

Even so, Misato Asuka displayed formidable fighting prowess. While not exactly effortless, she was able to put up a good fight.

Judging from the "momentum" they just displayed, Mizuzuka is definitely no match for the two of them, and the Demon Slayer Corps doesn't need to do anything extra.

Do not……

Not to mention two, even in a one-on-one fight, Mizuzuka is no match.

On the other side, Asuka and Mayumi quickly realized the problem and simultaneously withdrew their supernatural powers.

The howling wind subsided, but the solemn expression on Mizuzuka's face remained.

"How to do this?"

Mayumi turned her head and looked at her father, who was standing not far away.

According to the script, they were supposed to willingly accept their fate and thus lower the world's ranking. However, the moment Mizuzuka rushed forward, for some reason, she instinctively refused to die and immediately tried to fight back!

"How strange... Could it be that the attention of the gods has the power to change my mind?"

At Shinji's side, even Asuka was puzzled.

With her extensive experience, she quickly realized the problem: "To be honest, I had never considered suicide, nor had the gods given me any such advice. Could it be that those who are the center of attention have an instinctive tendency to avoid death?"

I don't understand.

Asuka gave up thinking and stared at Mizuzuka, intending to ask the gods when she got back.

"...Damn it."

After three backward jumps, he saw that Mizuzuka had already created a considerable distance, and there was no longer any opportunity for him to suddenly attack and kill.

His gaze was cold as he looked at the dozen or twenty people standing on the opposite side.

Killing Yaotai Zhengong by force is no longer realistic.

Ultimately, the Jianli people were simply too cowardly and lacked ambition! They never considered that they were in control of everything; they still wanted to remain the followers of the Wind God as before!

Why not take a chance?

Even if I die, it will be a death as brilliant as cherry blossoms, which is better than living a wretched life!

The water mound cannot understand.

He understood that he had to leave now. Continuing the hostility was pointless; it was better to remain useful and bide his time.

"You want to run away, is that it?"

Just as she made up her mind, Mayumi spoke with a hint of disdain.

Her golden eyes, like those of a snake, reflected a cold light: "You can't leave. I am a newly born deity, and my understanding of the power of the wind god is very limited. But with the help of Father and the Heavenly God, I have still mastered the 'Flowing Wind'—my divine power is already present in the tiny crevices within your body."

What is this woman saying?

Seeing this, Mizuzuka suddenly stretched out his arm and gave him a thumbs-up in the face—

"Boom."

She pressed her thumb, which also pressed a switch.

The flowing wind residing within the body erupted, and a perfectly healthy person inexplicably shattered into over a hundred pieces, crashing to the ground with a clatter. Not even a scream could be uttered; soup and water separated, leaving a mess on the ground!

"Huh?!"

It's not just Misato Mizukazu.

Seeing the pear leaves, along with seven or eight other members of the Jianli tribe, being dismembered at the same time, the stench of blood instantly filled the air, making people nauseous.

Kazuma Kenji gasped in shock as he looked at the courtyard, which had instantly transformed into a bloody hell!

Mayumi turned to look at him and said, "My memory isn't very good. I just killed everyone I've seen before who actually chased me. Elder Ichizane, and everyone else, you'd better obediently follow my orders. You also have 'Flowing Wind' that I've buried within you; if you stay too far away from me, it will explode."

Chapter 355: Being ambushed!

In the temporary city lord's mansion in Sky City.

Zuo Chang sat in a chair and recounted what he had seen and heard. Bai Lin sat opposite him, listened attentively, and then said, "So, because of the unique effect of 'Divine Gaze,' True Bow and Asuka's vitality is exceptionally strong, and they didn't perish so easily?"

The god nodded: "That's one way to understand it."
