I became Superman

The bald saint trembled under Zhou Ming's intense gaze.

This guy in front of me is really scary; it's absolutely impossible for him to resist.

But to let him reveal the location of the Great Celestial Venerable so easily would make him seem too weak.

It's best to resist for a few rounds; if you're forced to back down eventually, it won't be a huge offense.

The bald saint puffed out his chest and said, "Divine power is like a prison; I advise you not to make a mistake... Waaah!"

The bald saint stared in disbelief at the crimson ray piercing his chest, his body slumping to one side.

Zhou Ming turned his gaze to the other person next to him and asked, "What do you say?"

That was a slender saint whose demeanor was more intimidating.

Seeing Zhou Ming turn his deadly gaze upon him, he felt his mind go blank and, without thinking, blurted out, "I'll talk!"

"The new Heavenly Court is right next to that cliff. I'll take you there now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the saint suddenly realized that the atmosphere around him was a bit strange.

He looked around and found that the believers in the temple were looking at him with mixed emotions, their eyes filled with fear, disappointment and disillusionment.

Those believers who are chosen to come to this holy site are the most fervent among believers.

Each of them gave up their entire fortune, severed all social ties, and was ready to surrender their lives to the Heavenly Venerable at any time.

They all firmly believed that the Celestial Venerable was the only God, and that the Saints were God's messengers and their teachers.

But now, the sacred mentor has been easily threatened and has betrayed the Heavenly Venerable.

Zhou Ming looked at those people with a sarcastic expression.

All these seductive ideas are impossible for a charlatan to believe.

Only fools who know nothing about the cult leader would accept everything he says and believe it to be true.

Zhou Ming said, "Lead the way."

The saint hurriedly led Zhou Ming toward the cliff.

Wang Ping and Wang Hui looked at Wang Ma and the other bewildered people with relief, feeling completely at ease.

They caught up with Su Cheng, who was lagging behind, and asked, "Sister, who is that person? What are you going to do?"

Looking at the brother and sister, Su Cheng felt a strong sense of warmth and closeness.

They were both driven to ruin by the same group of people, and this shared experience brought them naturally closer.

Su Cheng glanced at Zhou Ming in front of her and said in a low voice, "That's a god who refuses to admit that he is a god. Because he refuses to admit that he is a god, he naturally feels disgusted by those who act in the name of god."

"In short, he came to judge the so-called Great Celestial Venerable."

Wang Ping's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Can we go together?"

Su Cheng hesitated for a moment, then said, "It should be okay. That person is very kind. You can come along. If he doesn't refuse, he probably agrees."

After saying that, he chased after her.

Wang Ping and Wang Hui followed behind her.

The group quickly arrived at the front of the cliff.

There is a step on the edge of the cliff, standing there all alone, like a natural protruding rock.

The sage pointed to the stone and said, "This is the Heavenly Ascent Staircase. Once you ascend here, you can enter the new Heavenly Court."

Zhou Ming laughed and said, "You know what the consequences will be if you deceive me."

The sage hurriedly replied, "I dare not!"

Zhou Ming nodded and stepped onto the stairs.

Strangely enough, after he stepped onto the first step, another step appeared before him.

This step appeared out of thin air, without any warning. It was suspended in mid-air outside the cliff, without any support or support, yet it did not fall.

Zhou Ming stepped onto the newly appeared steps, and a third step appeared before him, followed by a fourth...

When Zhou Ming stepped onto the tenth step, a wide platform appeared before him.

Zhou Ming entered the platform, and his vision suddenly opened up.

Suddenly, a majestic mountain appeared before him, its body radiating golden light that illuminated all around.

The mountains are shrouded in mist, and there are many pavilions, towers, palaces, and temples in the mist.

As Zhou Ming was browsing the new Heavenly Court, Su Cheng and Wang Ping, the brother and sister, also arrived at the platform.

Witnessing the towering mountains that appeared out of nowhere, and the palaces and temples within them, the three of them were momentarily stunned into a blank.

The scene before them was completely beyond their comprehension.

This fairyland-like scene suddenly appeared in the previously empty air.

To be able to do such a thing, even calling one a god would be quite fitting.

However, even if he is a god, he is an evil god.

Like Zhou Ming, the three of them were also gazing at the majestic Golden Mountain, the main body of the new Heavenly Court.

Suddenly, they felt a chill run through their bodies.

Upon closer inspection, they discovered that this seemingly idyllic holy land contained the most chilling and eerie elements.

They saw that in every corner of that golden mountain, there were figures kneeling there, motionless.

The platform they were standing on was very close to the foot of the mountain, so they could see the situation there clearly.

Therefore, they saw the kneeling figures at the foot of the mountain, their heads bowed, looking both like devout pilgrims and painful penitents.

But everyone has an iron chain around their neck.

One end of the chain was wrapped around their necks, while the other end was buried deep in the mountain.

From the foot of the mountain to the summit, there were figures everywhere wearing iron chains, their numbers almost impossible to count, probably at least in the hundreds of thousands.

The three were so shocked by the sight that they felt a chill run down their spines.

Suddenly, Su Cheng jolted, broke away from the group, and ran towards the foot of the mountain.

She stood at the foot of the mountain in front of a kneeling figure, her face turning deathly pale. After a moment, she suddenly burst into tears.

Zhou Ming had already guessed the truth.

He led Wang Ping and his sister over and saw that the figure in front of Su Cheng was a teenage girl.

The little girl's eyes were empty and hollow, with no whites, just a dark expanse, like an abyss that beckons people to fall.

Su Cheng shook her sister's shoulders and tugged at the iron chain around her neck, trying to untie her, but her sister did not react at all.

She looked up and pleaded, "Please, save her!"

Zhou Ming shook his head and said, "It's no use. These are all souls of the dead, the manifestations of their beliefs in life."

"They are bound here, supporting this so-called new heavenly court; no one can be saved."

"Demon, do you know your sin!"

A loud voice rang out above their heads.

Zhou Ming looked up and saw a giant, dressed in golden armor, wielding a huge hammer, and with a body as large as a small mountain, standing on the other side of the mountain path, looking down at them.

Zhou Ming asked, "Who are you?"

The giant said, "I am a guardian deity under the Great Heavenly Venerable, and I am here by order of the Heavenly Venerable to take you to receive your punishment!"

"Yesterday in Chengdu, you killed the sage sent by the Heavenly Venerable, which constitutes the crime of disrespecting the Heavenly Venerable."

"It was the Holy King who pardoned you before the Heavenly Venerable, which is why the Heavenly Venerable decided not to hold your offense against you."

"Who knew that you would destroy the sacred shrine outside the Heavenly Court today and kill the holy man appointed by the Heavenly Venerable? I enumerate all your sins, each one unforgivable. Why don't you immediately come with me to the Heavenly Venerable to repent and await his judgment!"
