City of Flames

Thump!

The Martial God once again tapped the staff in his hand, but this time the movement was extremely subtle.

The next moment, Jiang Xuan felt a dizzying sensation, then he was astonished to find his body floating in mid-air, uncontrollably flying towards the Martial God.

"Could it be that my identity as Lu Renjia has been discovered? Is the Martial God going to forcibly take me away, accept me as his disciple, and cultivate me into the Human Race's second God?"

This thought flashed through his mind, but he immediately dismissed it.

Because he saw that not only he, but also Pang Jinghai beside him, were flying towards the Martial God.

Even within the confines of Lei Cheng No. 1 Middle School, the more than seven hundred conscious Prodigies and over two hundred students who had been knocked out and hadn't woken up yet, all flew towards the Martial God!

Everyone continuously flew through the air towards the Martial God's front, at first glance it looked like hundreds or thousands of people launching an attack on the colossal figure.

Soon, Jiang Xuan stopped first, and the others also stopped beside him, less than a hundred meters from the Martial God's chest.

Looking up, they could still see the Martial God's head, as massive as a mountain.

Up close, whether it was a Crystal Condensation Realm cultivator like Jiang Xuan, or Martial Emperors like Pang Jinghai and Li Qingshen, they all felt a pressure that was almost tangible, like mountains and seas.

This pressure even made it impossible for them to speak, their breathing became extremely labored, as if their forms would completely collapse the next moment.

The Martial God, however, maintained his solemn dignity, neither pleased nor saddened, and once again tapped his staff into the Void Realm.

"All combat intelligence surrounding these children will be erased."

The next moment, crystalline chains emerged around everyone, then all snapped apart.

There were also such chains around Jiang Xuan, so he saw clearly that after the chains disintegrated, they transformed into countless tiny golden eyeballs, which were then crushed by some mysterious and powerful force until they were utterly annihilated.

"Could it be..."

He suddenly guessed the reason for the sudden appearance of that Myriad Race God whose single eyeball was ten thousand meters in diameter.

The Martial God gently waved his hand, and Jiang Xuan and the others' figures blurred, returning to their original positions.

Then, this supreme being, who single-handedly resisted the Myriad Race God, let out a soft sigh.

"Fellow citizens of Lei City, this place has been marked by the Lord of Dimensions, and I cannot completely erase it. If you remain here, the Lord of Dimensions may return at any time."

The people kneeling and praising on the ground suddenly paused, then knelt down deeply again.

"Everything is at the Martial God's discretion!"

"We will all listen to the Martial God!"

"Martial God, I know you are protecting us, please bestow your divine oracle!"

Jiang Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, ignoring the matter, because he estimated that the Martial God would likely have all the residents of Lei City relocate to the nearby Black Flame City, or at most, to the more distant Tianji City.

Although such a move would be a major upheaval, involving many people's property and other assets, Jiang Xuan believed that with the divine oracle from the Martial God, no unscrupulous merchant would dare to exploit the situation.

All relocation and mass migration would proceed in an orderly manner.

So, what Jiang Xuan truly cared about now was that name, the divine name of the Myriad Race God spoken by the Martial God.

"Lord of Dimensions..."

Jiang Xuan knew very well that the pillar of light emitted by the Lord of Dimensions' ten-thousand-meter-diameter eyeball was definitely not aimed at himself, but at "Lu Renjia." But the key was, Lu Renjia was himself!

Evidently, this Myriad Race God had learned through some means that the Human Race had produced an eighteen-year-old Martial Saint, a being very likely to become the Human Race's second God, so it directly broke through the dimensions, wanting to come and nip him in the bud.

The Lord of Dimensions probably didn't expect that Lu Renjia had already left Lei Cheng No. 1 Middle School, and had also reverted to his original appearance and returned to Lei Cheng No. 1 Middle School. That's why it emitted such a golden pillar of light, capable of covering Lei Cheng No. 1 Middle School and all surrounding urban areas, intending to directly annihilate Lu Renjia who was within it.

Even so, it almost hit the mark by accident!

Fortunately, the Martial God arrived.

"Lord of Dimensions... It sounds like a God of the Centaur Clan?"

A fierce glint flashed in Jiang Xuan's eyes. He believed he had a good chance of becoming a God, and even, if he could become the legendary Immortal Emperor in that mysterious and vast world, he might be even more powerful than a God. When that day came, he would definitely seek revenge on this Lord of Dimensions!

The Lord of Dimensions almost crushed him like an ant, so one day, he would also use the same method to utterly crush the Lord of Dimensions!

Just as Jiang Xuan was thinking this, suddenly, the Martial God's majestic and authoritative voice resonated again.

"From today onwards, Lei City will be merged into the City of Flame, becoming the City of Flame's 10,072nd urban district."

Jiang Xuan was slightly stunned.

Lei City... merged into the City of Flame?

Becoming the City of Flame's ten-thousand-plus urban district?

How could that be done?

But the next moment, he was completely dumbfounded.

As the Martial God's staff glowed, the entire Lei City floated into the air, enveloped by an extremely mysterious and powerful force. Both he and everyone around him also floated up with Lei City, similarly enveloped in this force.

Then, looking over the ten-thousand-meter city walls, Jiang Xuan clearly saw the space outside Lei City's walls shaking.

Immediately after, the entire Lei City flashed once, disappearing directly from the sky... The City of Flame.

This place was not only the capital of the Xia Kingdom, but also the most prosperous Human Race city on Dayan Star. Many people didn't even consider the City of Flame a city anymore, because it was large enough to resemble a small nation.

The City of Flame had over ten thousand urban districts. The smallest of these districts was comparable to a small Human Race city, and the largest was even equivalent to super-large Human Race cities like Tianji City and Haihuang City.

Every urban district was extremely prosperous, with commercial streets everywhere, skyscrapers towering, and various training centers neatly arranged. Countless pedestrians came and went, dressed either athletically and efficiently, or fashionably and elegantly. Maglev airships frequently flew through the sky.

Of course, amidst such prosperity, countless evils also lurked. Whether it was the universally condemned Monster Worshippers, or the universally revered Shock Supernova Legion, as well as organizations such as the House of Heavenly Craftsmanship, the Devouring Darkness, the Monster Hunting Guild, the Myriad Flame Sect, the Sequence God Institute... various organizations had established branches or even headquarters here.

Although it was just past seven in the morning, every street in every urban district was bustling with people.

But just then, a huge city appeared in the sky above the City of Flame.
