At this moment, Meng Yi had already broken through the atmosphere and arrived in a void of space.

He intentionally placed the "battlefield of gods" far from the ground.

...

Woohoo—

A loud whistle rang out from the Holy City of Redemption, accompanied by a slight rumble, as the massive modern metropolis came to a stop beside the Steel City.

However, at this moment, both the "Holy City" and the "Steel City" were filled with a hazy, soft light.

Xiao Wu showed no resistance to this change, and one after another, the little light bulbs wandered curiously in the ocean of shimmering light.

What's going on?

Cen Qiyun stood on the rooftop, her arm slightly raised, feeling the light rippling around her like flowing water, and asked in confusion.

Above her was a vast blue ocean sky, dotted with tiny silver specks—fine metallic particles.

Having temporarily regained her human form, Shang Shuyan felt a sense of closeness within the light and murmured, "It might be related to my master..."

Just then, Li Hao fell from the sky, succinctly stating:

"I just took a quick look, and all the human cities are shrouded in the same light."

He paused for a moment, then adjusted his sunglasses and added, "My intuition tells me that these lights are interconnected and will provide some kind of protection for human cities."

This is actually a change that occurred after Meng Yi became a "true god" and became highly integrated with civilization.

This is a kind of "blessing" and "protection," as well as a special kind of "response."

Cen Qiyun nodded thoughtfully, "Then that's a good thing?"

Li Hao looked around but couldn't see Zhang Zimin anywhere.

...

Li'an City.

Whoosh~

As the sound of waves crashing echoed continuously, heavy columns of water fell fiercely from time to time from the "ocean canopy" stretching above the city.

Xu Qingsong looked down at the city from his high vantage point, his once youthful face now showing a touch of composure.

As a first-tier apostle of the [Ocean] pathway, he was perfectly suited to this environment.

He can receive the support and response of the ocean at any time without having to expend extra energy to call upon the ocean for help.

Moreover, the "Ocean Sky" contains the divine power of "redemption".

This allowed him to suppress the unrest in the city on his own, and even had the capacity to occasionally provide support and assistance to two nearby cities.

"We must kill all the 'rebels' in Li'an City as soon as possible. At this time, other cities will certainly not be peaceful either."

Unlike others who are clueless about what changes have occurred in the world beyond the "ocean canopy," Xu Qingsong can use the power of the ocean to perceive things.

He was fully aware of the chaotic scene in the real world, which resembled the end of the world.

"My Lord..."

He muttered something to himself.

Drip, drip, drip…

Thick, fresh blood began to flow down his body, faster and faster, soon forming a blood-red waterfall.

Almost instantly, the entire city of Li'an was covered with a thin layer of seawater mixed with thick blood.

Every now and then, deformed eyeballs and disgusting tentacles emerge from the seawater.

Xu Qingsong closed his eyes and began to concentrate on sensing.

"The area around the school appears to have been cleared, and the sheriffs are using it as a base to expand outwards."

No enemy dares to approach the church of our Lord…

Hmm? Some people are really infuriating; they don't care about their own lives at all…

Suddenly, a nimble bird appeared beside him, flapping its wings, and whispered something to him.

This is an artist's creation, serving as a "communication tool" within the city.

Xu Qingsong suddenly opened his eyes, and exclaimed in astonishment, "What? To convert the followers of the Goddess of Nature to our Lord? At this time?"

"Yes, this is an order issued by Mr. Zhang, and this order has been synchronized to all cities."

Mr. Zhang…

What right does Mr. Zhang have to give "orders"?

So far, the only people under Redemption qualified to issue "orders" besides Meng Yi are those whose decisions are made by the Holy City collective meeting.

Xu Qingsong took a deep breath and nodded heavily, saying, "Okay, I understand."
