I am a god-slayer, not your hero.

However, it did not give off a sense of weakness; instead, it had a touch of boldness.

She focused her energy in her dantian and exhaled slowly. The surrounding clouds seemed to sense the call, and in an instant, they thinned out, as if emptied by an invisible force, and flowed into her lungs.

Her breathing was soft and deep, each breath seemingly resonating with nature. Guided by her, the clouds transformed into streams of clear water, flowing along her meridians and nourishing every inch of her skin and every cell.

Between exhaling and exhaling mist, the consumed magical power and lost vital energy are restored in a short time.

Luo Hao immediately opened his eyes.

clairvoyance.

In an instant, all creations on earth were seen through.

The vast landscape was fully visible.

If she wanted, she could stand on the mountain and see every corner of the entire land of China, with a chaotic array of colors flooding her eyes.

Luo Hao had a pretty good understanding of modern society.

"My lord did not lie to me."

This was a precaution to prevent her from being tricked by the stringed instrument.

She summarized contemporary human society as follows: "Although it does not conform to the way of nature, it is still barely acceptable, at least not as unbearable as the British Empire of the past."

Luo Hao followed the philosophies of Lao Tzu and Zhuangzi, remaining untainted by worldly dust.

She abandoned the hustle and bustle of the world and the prosperity of humanity, choosing a secluded lifestyle and avoiding entanglements with the complexities of human relationships.

However, Luo Hao was not born so aloof and cold.

Only after she became the "Supreme Martial Arts Master" did she truly sever her ties with the secular world.

In the past, as the head of the "Flying Phoenix Sect," she built a Taoist temple deep in the Huangshan Mountains as the foundation for establishing her sect.

Despite being the sect leader, he entrusted the important task of guiding his disciples to others, while immersing himself in the world of cultivation, pursuing the ultimate in martial arts and magic.

Sometimes, she would descend the mountain to travel, roaming the world as a martial arts hero and experiencing all walks of life.

Luo Hao was born into a family of caravan bodyguards, a well-known and prestigious family in the martial arts world.

She grew up under the care of her parents and brothers and had opportunities to socialize. She was not completely detached from worldly affairs; it was just that her personality led her to choose a lifestyle away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

If she wanted to, she could barely integrate into society.

but.

Luo Hao was a willful woman who could not tolerate anything that displeased her, so she chose the most comfortable deep mountains as her place of seclusion.

However, she also knew that if she entered the world, she would destroy any person or city she disliked.

Retiring to the mountains and forests also carries a sense of self-respect.

She at least considers others in her own unique way, even if that consideration is really only a little bit.

For a time, Luo Cuilian developed this awareness and a deep contempt for civilized society.

That was between the mid-19th century and the first half of the 20th century.

Her fame spread widely in the European magic world, where she was known as the "Oriental Demon" or the "Cult Leader of the Demonic Sect."

Every seven or eight years, she travels around the world to showcase her skills and achieve certain important goals.

Luo Hao had a brief stay in London.

Although when the great Confucian scholars of the late Qing Dynasty set foot on London soil, they learned about the strength of the British Empire and its system of "ruling by doing nothing" and exclaimed, "This is the rule of the Three Dynasties."

However, Luo Hao was not a Confucian, but a Taoist.

So she actually strolled through Victorian London, and over several days, she witnessed all aspects of life at that time.

London workers lived worse than farmers in the Qing Dynasty.

As for the British farmers, what Luo Hao saw with his far-sighted vision was an unprecedented famine.

There were also the powerful and influential figures in Great Britain, whose actions could make even Emperor Yang of Sui proudly proclaim that he loved his people like his own children.

What's even more ridiculous is that Britain coveted the Qing Dynasty's market because of pornography. After successfully opening the Qing Dynasty's doors, it was instead dumped with pornography from the Qing Dynasty, resulting in drug addicts everywhere in the streets and alleys of London.

"The result of national prosperity and wealth is the emergence of countless people who willingly degenerate... Then what is the meaning of the progress of civilization?"

Before witnessing the characteristics of the British Empire firsthand, probably a few years ago, Luo Hao had also considered whether his country, though one of the great powers, was not the strongest in the world and that this would damage his prestige.

Perhaps it was this idea that gave her the power to accelerate the development of civilization after the Ottomans defeated the gods.

But after that trip to London, Luo Hao had only one thought—

Is this what the development of civilization looks like?

From then on, China went from being the world's strongest nation to one of the ordinary powers, then from one of the powers to a semi-colonial country, then from a semi-colonial country to a comprador country, from a comprador country to an independent and self-reliant country, and from an independent and self-reliant country to a modern country with a prosperous economy...

Luo Hao completely ignored it.

This has been true before, and it will be true in the future.

However, the hermit immortals who lived in seclusion in the mountains were dragged down to the mortal world and had no choice but to go and see the human world.

"Countless heroes have emerged throughout the world, yet he has forged his own path."

Luo Hao sighed, withdrew his gaze, and murmured, "Speaking of which, my husband has been gone for half a day. I wonder what he's been doing?"

She casually raised her head and looked at the celestial phenomena.

The spiritual vision extracted memories from the void, which transformed into the image of a greedy wolf in Luo Hao's eyes.

The star Greedy Wolf is shining.

Luo Hao: "Marrying without a matchmaker is an offense against one's master."

After saying that, she turned and left, disappearing from Mount Lu in a flash.

……

The coastline of Naples.

Yesterday, a massive tsunami struck, and even the historic Egg Fortress was destroyed by the waves…

At least that's the official narrative.

Tony finally made it back to land, only to be unexpectedly swept away by a wave and drift at sea for a while. Luckily, he managed to grab a fishing net, then climbed onto a fishing boat. To the astonishment of the crew, he said, "I thought I was really going to die this time. Ah, could you tell me which side is the closest land? No problem, I'm a great swimmer. Can I borrow your small boat?"

The fishermen treated Tony like a plague carrier, giving him a small boat.

Relying on his unreliable sense of direction, it took him quite some time to finally row to the coast of Naples.

As soon as I got ashore, I saw familiar faces.

"Isn't that Liana?"

Tony greeted Liliana.

Liliana's lips parted slightly, a thousand words stuck in her throat, finally culminating in only one sentence: "You're still alive?"

Tony laughed, "I almost thought I was going to die too, but I pulled through. I really envy Sister Edelweiss, who can use her magic to walk on water. I would just sink. By the way, what happened to that dragon?"

Liliana answered truthfully: "He was destroyed by the Seventh King's servants with a divine sword. After that, the disobedient Mithras descended, and the two fought. Finally, the Seventh King arrived and defeated the disobedient Mithras."

Tony nodded: "Does that mean I won't have a chance to show off? That won't do. My sword is itching for a fight. I can go find Brother Mingxian to play with it."

"Wait! What are you doing?" Liliana exclaimed in alarm.

Please, please stop causing trouble.

The Pillar of Hera was severed, causing the earth's energy to surge wildly, directly collapsing a section of the street.

The dragon triggered a massive tsunami that submerged the coastline.

Finally, the Steel God and the Godslayer clashed, destroying Egg Castle and all the surrounding buildings.

Naples simply can't take any more turmoil!

Can't you find another place?

Tony simply smiled and asked, "Where is Brother Mingxian?"

Liliana immediately shouted, "I will absolutely not tell you that!"

Tony's eyes gleamed with cunning, and he feigned anger as he said, "Is that so? If it were the Marquis, wouldn't the Clanichal family obediently take him there with just a word?"

"How could you say such a thing..." Liliana gasped, then her voice cracked, "So you really do remember names, are you just pretending to be stupid?"

Tony: "Are you taking me or not?"

Liliana sobbed and said, "I'll take you there."

……

On the coast of Naples, a quaint and cozy stone cottage has appeared.

Sunlight filtered through the sparse clouds, dappling the path and casting a golden prelude to the journey.

Tony followed Liliana toward the cottage.

"This seems to have been built by that king, who said it was modeled after Lord Edwis's residence."

Liliana slowly approached, but stopped abruptly.

Her feet seemed to resist, wriggling and entangled with the sand beneath her feet, as if bound by invisible shackles, unable to take another step forward, her forehead seemingly touching an invisible wall.

No matter how Liliana struggled, the barrier remained unbreakable, preventing her from crossing it.

"How could this be? Is this a barrier? Or some kind of magic?"

Liliana was somewhat puzzled.

As a descendant of the Earth Mother Goddess, and inheriting ancient wisdom, the witch could not possibly be unaware of the mysterious power.

However, she was unable to go any further at this moment.

Tony glanced at Liliana with a puzzled look, a nonchalant smile playing on his lips. He took two steps forward and easily overtook Liliana, leaving her standing still.

He turned around and laughed, "So that's how it is. It's your soul that's retreating, afraid of my kind, and therefore unable to move forward."

"Are you kidding me! How could this be!"

Liliana's voice echoed through the empty desert, filled with disbelief, astonishment, and anger.

His eyes were wide open, his hands were clenched into fists, and his nails dug deep into his palms, but he still could not calm the fear and resentment in his heart.
