Chapter 109 Heaven and Earth are Unmerciful, Noble Families are Unmerciful

In just over ten minutes, the Card Domain [the utopia of the mysterious girl] completely expanded, firmly enveloping the entire Yunlin City.

Colorful petals fluttered in the wind across the sky, falling like rain in a magnificent and grand scene.

Yet beneath this grandeur lay the panic of the city's residents; everyone looked up at the sky, their eyes filled with terror and unease, the air heavy with a stifling silence.

Ning Shijun stood high in the sky, his clear voice penetrating the clouds and carrying spiritual energy to every corner of Yunlin City, each word powerful and striking the heart:

"Heaven and earth are unkind, treating all things as straw dogs; the Noble Families are unkind, treating the common people as food ingredients."

"The Noble Families control the resources for card-making materials. These Card Domains were conquered by our ancestors, yet they have claimed them as their own;"

"They view you as ants, slaughtering you at will without facing the slightest punishment. Are you not angry..."

Hearing Ning Shijun's words, Gu Ye couldn't help but look timidly toward the 'domain river,' fearing the Heavenly Dao might strike everyone dead on a whim.

Following this, Ning Shijun raised his hand with a wave, and the monstrous evidence of the Noble Families' crimes transformed into giant light screens suspended above Yunlin City, visible to all the commoners below.

"That's my sister... so that's why I could never find you. Why is it like this!" A young man saw his sister's name and clutched his head in pain, squatting on the ground; the girl's cause of death was listed as rape and murder...

Anger, grief, killing intent... various intense emotions spread wildly through the city like a volcano about to erupt, the suppressed resentment soaring into the sky.

Ning Shijun watched the scene below expressionlessly. He waved his hand and pulled Gu Ye to his side.

Gu Ye looked at the commoners below whose emotions were collapsing—the screens showed relatives more or less related to them—and he realized the Federation was about to enter a period of upheaval.

"Uncle Jun, didn't we agree not to put me in the public eye?"

Gu Ye felt somewhat helpless; Ning Shijun had suddenly gone back on their agreement.

Ning Shijun looked at Gu Ye with amusement and said:

"Even if I didn't pull you into my camp, given that you're holding the [spirit sealing cauldron], have you considered what your situation would be later?"

With this reminder, Gu Ye realized that if he didn't bring out the backing behind him, he'd be finished if an old monster from a Noble Families came looking for trouble later.

Gu Ye sighed and silently walked to Ning Shijun's side to watch this grand program.

As the Card Domain enveloped Yunlin City, the light of the [plasma solar tower] was obscured. The citizens' vision grew dim, leaving only the figures in the sky shining brilliantly.

"I understand that you are very angry, but do you have the strength to kill them?"

Ning Shijun's single sentence silenced the commoners.

At that moment, the young man from before suddenly knelt toward Ning Shijun, his face covered in tears, his voice carrying a sincere plea.

"Respected Grand Preceptor of Great Benevolence, I give my life to you. I will go through fire and water for you, I only beg that you help me take revenge."

Ning Shijun shifted his tone:

"Your life is of no use to me, and... why should I help you take revenge?"

"I... I..."

For a moment, the boy was speechless, staring blankly up at Ning Shijun.

"Haha—!"

Seeing the boy's appearance, Bu Yao couldn't help but laugh out loud, her crisp laughter echoing in the air.

Ning Shijun glared at her for this, then with a flick of his finger, Zhang Jiao appeared beside him.

"If you want revenge, or to live with more dignity, then you need power."

Ning Shijun's voice suddenly rose, carrying a soul-stirring power that rang through the city, "This power, I can give it to you!

We were not born to be slaves of the Noble Families. All people are born equal. In this world, there should not be such unjust oppression!"

His words were like a heavy hammer, smashing into the hearts of every commoner.

"With power, you can seek revenge yourselves, reclaim your dignity with your own hands, and never again have to look at the Noble Families' faces or be bullied by anyone!"

Everyone stared fervently at Ning Shijun in the sky.

Someone started the chant from below:

"Revenge! Revenge!"

"Dignity! Dignity!"

"Equality for all! Equality for all!"

"Grand Preceptor of Great Benevolence! Grand Preceptor of Great Benevolence!"

Gu Ye was slightly taken aback to hear the words "equality for all." In this high-martial world of the survival of the fittest, where classes were rigid and Noble Families held monopolies,

achieving true equality was as difficult as ascending to heaven. He was full of curiosity about how Ning Shijun actually intended to fulfill this promise.

He saw Zhang Jiao beside him looking at the commoners below with a smile, his eyes shimmering with golden light.

Gu Ye instantly thought of his trait: "Power of Faith!"

"Ning Shijun relied on the Power of Faith to quickly become a Legendary Realm powerhouse."

Staring at the golden light gradually emerging from Zhang Jiao, Gu Ye suddenly thought of the downsides of the Power of Faith.

He reminded Ning Shijun:

"Uncle Jun, after all this time, you should have realized that the Power of Faith has its drawbacks too."

Ning Shijun nodded slightly, his gaze firm and his tone resolute: "For me, to fulfill my dream, I can bear this small price."

Hearing this, Gu Ye said no more, standing in silence as he watched everything unfold.

Streams of pure Power of Faith, invisible to the naked eye, surged from thousands of households in Yunlin City like golden rivulets, continuously pouring into Ning Shijun's body, nourishing his soul and strengthening his power.

After a moment, Zhang Jiao spoke slowly, his voice ethereal and majestic: "The time has come. You may act."

Ning Shijun looked delighted at the words. "Everyone, I shall forge a world where all are equal. Are you willing to join me?"

"We are!"

"I am!"

...

"Then let us send the evildoers to their next life and head to the new world together."

Before his voice finished echoing, bolts of lightning fell from the clouds, accurately striking those whose names were on the screens.

"Save me, Patriarch!"

"Grand Preceptor of Great Benevolence, have mercy! I am also one of your believers..."

Members of the Noble Families were struck down by lightning one after another. Their souls were directly absorbed and refined by Zhang Jiao, becoming his 'Ghost Soldiers!'

The commoners below watched this scene in shock, as if the Heavenly Dao had sent down divine punishment to destroy the world.

"That looks like the leader of the Wild Wolf Gang."

A voice rang out. The commoners looked in that direction and saw only a charred corpse.

"A good death! This beast relied on being the Li family's dog to constantly bully men and prey on women."

Some laughed heartily, while others remained calm.

Among the dead from the Noble Families, Gu Ye even saw the Long sisters, whom he had crossed paths with before.

There was no ripple in his eyes. Even people from the Yan Family were dying; as long as it wasn't someone he cared about, he wouldn't stop Ning Shijun.

The spokespersons of the three Great Noble Families below watched with ugly expressions as the lightning continued to strike, yet they were completely powerless.

The lightning lasted for over ten minutes before finally falling silent.

Seeing this, Ning Shijun looked at the surviving members of the Noble Families and spoke indifferently:

"You may go. I hope you will conduct yourselves better in the future."

Those who remained were essentially normal people, without hearts of extreme malice.

Gu Ye saw Chu Ling and the others glance at him, though they did not acknowledge him publicly.

Gu Ye understood their gaze; it was to tell him not to worry.

With a gentle wave of his hand, Ning Shijun sent all the Noble Families members to the neighboring Huoyang City.
