The process of deification began with the discovery of hidden information in divine objects.

Chapter 113 The Hunt, The Reckoning!

The night in Luochuan City was unusually quiet.

Zhao Tianzhi's figure streaked across the sky, his face tense and seemingly expressionless, but a deep sorrow flashed in his eyes.

!

He landed on a street and looked at the three dismembered corpses lying on the ground!

Huanglong's body was almost completely dried up, remaining in a prone position.

Dai Wu knelt on the ground, lying in a pool of blood; the fatal wound was a puncture wound to his chest.

Zhuque, with his eyes wide open and naked, died with his eyes wide open, unable to close them in peace!

Zhao Tianzhi bent down and neatly arranged the three corpses together!

A hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.

"Sorry, brothers, I might lose!"

"We were destined to lose by a single move. Perhaps the ancients were right: good will always triumph over evil. People like us are destined for a bad end!"

He chuckled to himself and then lit a cigarette.

"Thank you for being with me all this way. I'm so honored to have you by my side throughout my life! At the very least—before I die, I will give it my all one last try! After all, this is how we've always gotten to where we are!"

"Rest in peace. If I lose, I will go with you to the underworld!"

boom!

He punched through the Maybach's body, pulled out the fuel tank, and then poured the engine oil onto the three corpses. He then lit a lighter, which fell onto the three bodies and reacted violently with the engine oil, instantly igniting a towering flame!

boom!

The blazing flames engulfed the three bodies in an instant. Zhao Tianzhi dared not linger for long and immediately flapped his wings again, turning and leaving!

At this point, Zhao Tianzhi had no one left behind him, and he was completely doomed!

Tiansheng Group has been completely taken over by Shenyi Division. Those who should be arrested have been arrested, and those who should be killed have been killed. No one has been spared!

Nie Jinghong frowned, unsure of the meaning behind Zhao Tianzhi's last words.

I made a phone call to the Department of Ceremonies.

But nothing happened after Chen Ying replied.

"Chief, you and Captain Fang go back to headquarters. Captain Xiong and I will track down Zhao Tianzhi. I'm worried he might have some other schemes up his sleeve."

"So far, the Fallen Gods Society behind him hasn't made a move. I suspect there's a deeper conspiracy involved!"

Su Ziye spoke up.

"I see!"

Nie Jinghong nodded, and then led the enforcers of the Divine Ritual Division toward the division.

Where do you think Zhao Tianzhi will escape to?

Xiong Chaofeng asked.

"He won't run away. Zhao Tianzhi is a madman, but also a cold-blooded and ruthless tyrant. His targets are Huo Zhengqi and Shen Jingui. The Crimson Emperor's Decree is on him. He will never so easily abandon everything and run away. He must still be in Luochuan City!"

Su Ziye spoke, looking up at the building in front of him. The building was still brightly lit and was the tallest building in Luochuan. But in Su Ziye's eyes, the throne that symbolized power had collapsed!

Seeing him rising from a tall building, seeing his banquet guests, seeing his building collapsed.

Once Zhao Tianzhi is completely dead, everything should come to an end.

Su Ziye felt inexplicably tired. He had been through too much lately and hadn't had a proper rest in a very long time.

"After this incident is over, I really want to sleep like a log."

"Enforcement Officer Su, Captain Xiong, we found this upstairs at Tiansheng!"

A broken ruler, which was placed in a glass cabinet, was brought down from upstairs.

"This is----"

Xiong Chaofeng was somewhat surprised.

"This is the divine artifact of Tiansheng, the 'Measuring Ruler of Heaven,' which I once received the baptism of."

"Zhao Tianzhi clearly underestimated him, as he didn't take him away."

Su Ziye smashed the cabinet with a punch and took out the divine object.

"Tian Sheng is really rich! The Five Witches' Army Token, the Measuring Ruler, the Giant Spirit Mountain-Splitting Axe, the Crimson Emperor Token, plus the Golden Feather Scale on Zhao Tianzhi's own body—five divine artifacts! That bastard!"

Xiong mocked Feng inwardly.

Even their religious ceremonies don't have this many!

"Captain Bear, can I have this divine artifact?"

Su Ziye grasped the measuring ruler, and the icy touch actually made his mind a little clearer.

"Sure, you killed four of Zhao Tianzhi's subordinates this time, which is a great achievement. I think no one in the entire department would disagree with this divine object as a reward."

Xiong Chaofeng nodded and said.

"Thank you, Team Bear."

Su Ziye happily grabbed the measuring ruler.

"However, according to what we found out, Zhao Tianzhi's four subordinates had always been loyal and diligent to him. We never imagined that he would treat them merely as tools. What a beast!"

Xiong mocked Feng inwardly.

"It's a pity. If someone had guided them back then, they might not have gone down this path."

He sighed.

"It's pointless to regret the past, Captain Xiong. They may be pitiful, but there are countless pitiful people in this world. To hurt others and cause them pain because of your own pitifulness is simply not right!"

"There's no need to feel sorry for them. This is the path they chose, and they don't regret it. Why should we regret it for them? All we can do is use the power of thunder to shatter evil."

Xiong Chaofeng was somewhat taken aback. Even when his stance was wavering slightly, Su Ziye was so resolute!

He silently gave a thumbs up!

"You're a born enforcer! You've only been doing this for a short time, and your mental fortitude is already better than mine!"

"Yes, Enforcement Officer Su is decisive and efficient, a role model for all of us. In this line of work, we all encounter complex people to some extent, which makes us waver, ponder, and question. But Enforcement Officer Su remains steadfast!"

One of the Divine Ritual Enforcers also spoke.

There's always a reason why someone is pitiful. Apart from a few people who are inherently dark-hearted, many people turn bad for a reason. They may have been victims in the past. As law enforcement officers on the front lines, they also feel frustrated and doubt whether they are doing the right thing when they encounter such situations.

But Su Ziye has now given them an answer.

What law enforcement can do is to crush evil with overwhelming force!

No matter what you do, if you make a mistake, you'll get punished!

The Measuring Ruler in Su Ziye's hand was faintly glowing, and Su Ziye closed his eyes to begin sensing it!

hum!

An invisible force rippled outwards from the Measuring Ruler, sweeping in all directions!

In Su Ziye's mind, an extremely tiny three-dimensional map appeared!

"This is... a panoramic model of Luochuan City? It actually generated in my mind?"

Su Ziye was stunned for a moment. Moreover, it was incredibly detailed, even more advanced than the technology of the Divine Instrument Bureau. It was as if the power of the Measuring Ruler was constantly scanning the entire city and then recording it into Su Ziye's brain.

This is also one of the effects of divine objects: measuring heaven and earth!

"If Zhao Tianzhi is still the owner of this divine artifact, perhaps I can use it to find his whereabouts!"

Su Ziye closed his eyes and began to communicate with the divine object!

His consciousness roamed within the three-dimensional map in his mind. Su Ziye's consciousness was incredibly vast, and he could cross half a street in the three-dimensional map with a single step!

In this way, he could observe the entire city in the form of a consciousness. Su Ziye looked down from above and searched the city thoroughly, with countless figures appearing in his mind.

Jiang Yue, Shen Jingui, Nie Jinghong, Fang Zhiyuan, Xu Lu, Mother, Su Zilin—through this 3D model, he can see the whereabouts of everyone at this moment!

Su Ziye continued her investigation, and finally—

Swish!

He opened his eyes!

"I've found Zhao Tianzhi!"

Su Ziye's face lit up with joy!

"What?"

Xiong Chaofeng and the others were shocked!

Where is he?

"Suburbs, cemetery!"

Su Ziye said, word by word.

"Chase!"

"No, you are no match for him. This time, I'll go alone!"

Su Ziye waved his hand and said.

"Are you alright on your own? Do you want the section chief to come with you?"

Xiong Chaofeng asked with some concern.

"No need, I'm enough on my own. Zhao Tianzhi is right. The headquarters of the Divine Ritual Division cannot be left so empty. If someone from the Fallen Gods Society launches a surprise attack at this critical juncture, things will get complicated!"

"I'll deal with Zhao Tianzhi! This time, I'll settle things with him properly!"

Southern District, suburban cemetery.

"What you should do now is go to the Divine Ritual Division and capture Shen Jingui. That way, you'll still have a chance to live, instead of coming to the cemetery."

Edgar, the man in the black robe, frowned slightly as he looked at the man squatting in front of the grave.

"Zhao Tianzhi, you were so full of youthful vigor when we first met, but now—why do you seem a bit old?"

Zhao Tianzhi smiled slightly and stroked his beard.

"How can someone in their forties stay young forever? People will eventually grow old. All the power and glory of a kingdom will eventually turn to dust after death."

"Since you understand this principle, why are you so persistent in pursuing power and wanting to get ahead?"

"What do you think is the meaning of life for someone who has lost loved ones, has no partner, and has lost everything?"

Edgar paused for a moment.

"So you see the pursuit of power and strength as the meaning of your life?"

Zhao Tianzhi nodded.

"Now this meaning is almost gone."

"You don't want the Fire Banner and the Red Emperor's Decree anymore?"

"If you want it, you can have it. You can catch Shen Jinggui yourself. After all, you've helped me a lot over the years, so this is a way of repaying that favor."

He casually tossed the Red Emperor's Decree to Edgar.

"Zhao Tianzhi, you are like a lion in its twilight years now, and I find it rather pathetic."

Edgar sneered.

Zhao Tianzhi glanced at him.

"A dying man's words are good. Edgar, I also advise you not to stay in Luochuan City for too long. The Divine Ritual Division is not a place for idleness. After I die, you may be next."

"Hahahaha! You underestimate me too much, Zhao Tianzhi! We're different. I'm a follower of a great god, so..."

I can achieve immortality, while you are just an ordinary human being, so you will die!

Edgar laughed dismissively, and Zhao Tianzhi, too lazy to argue with him any further, waved his hand.

"Since you don't want them, then I'll gladly accept Shen Jingui and Huo Zhengqi!"

"By the way, Zhao Tianzhi, what you said at the entrance of Tiansheng was really fake. In the end, you're just a resentful bad kid."

Edgar sneered and disappeared from the spot.

Zhao Tianzhi ignored him.

"Judging by the time, he should be here soon—heh, it's the final battle, Zhao Tianzhi, cheer up!"

He patted his cheeks, poured the yellow wine from his cup in front of the grave, and then stood up.

"Even when a lion reaches the end of its life, it should die with its head held high and proud, without showing any cowardice!"

"Right, Mother, watch my final battle!"

The tombstone in front of him clearly reads:

The tomb of Liu, the biological mother of Zhao Tianzhi!
