#792 - Junshen is the real man!

Jun Wuxie didn't understand the situation of this station city, but he was certain that someone here wanted to deal with him.

Whether they were from the four Supreme Overlords of the Emperor Beginning Star or the Supreme Overlords from the starry sky, they seemed to have reached an agreement with the city's administrators; otherwise, how could they close the city?

According to the information he had learned from the Grand Elder, the station cities in the starry sky were completely independent and did not depend on any Supreme Overlord, much like the Tower of Wonders, making them very special existences.

"Young Master, your trouble has come," Vermilion Bird said calmly, sitting sideways behind him. "This station city has become a cage."

"Aunt You, I really don't want to kill people."

Jun Wuxie sighed and rode Lan Lan into a clothing store on the street.

The store was filled with clothes of various styles, colors, and fabrics, none of which were ordinary; they were all battle armor and defensive gear.

The store was doing good business, with many people selecting clothes.

The shop assistant was very enthusiastic, a beautiful young lady. Seeing a young man riding a blue exotic beast enter, she hurried to greet him with a professional smile.

"Greetings, young master, how may I help you?" The young lady pointed to the various clothes in the store and said, "Are you looking to buy clothes, young master? What style or material do you prefer?"

"Can I try on clothes here?"

Jun Wuxie dismounted from Lan Lan, a smile on his face.

The young lady met his deep eyes, momentarily lost in thought, and then smiled, "Ah, yes, of course you can. Young master, the fitting rooms are over here. You can try them on inside."

She pointed to a certain area where a row of rooms was located.

"Thank you."

Jun Wuxie nodded, randomly took a piece of clothing, and entered a fitting room.

Before long, he pushed open the fitting room door and walked out, handing the clothing to the young lady, saying, "I'll take this one. Wrap it up, please."

"Alright," the shop assistant said, beaming. She hadn't expected this young master to not only have a good temperament and handsome looks but also to be so decisive when buying things. She said with a smile, "Young master, this piece of clothing costs 880 million spirit coins. Will you be paying with cash or card?"

Jun Wuxie was stunned. Only then did he remember that although he was quite wealthy, could those spirit coin cards be used universally in the starry sky?

"Can this card be used?"

He took out a black gold card and handed it to the shop assistant.

The shop assistant's eyes lit up immediately upon seeing it, and she quickly nodded, "Yes, it can be used, yes, it can be used, young master. Please wait a moment."

She took the black gold card and hurried to the counter.

Jun Wuxie secretly sighed in relief. It seemed that the main bank behind the black gold card controlled the entire starry sky's monetary system; otherwise, how could it be used here?

Now he was relieved; otherwise, it would have been embarrassing if he couldn't produce the money.

...

After Jun Wuxie bought his clothes and left the clothing store riding Lan Lan, the shop assistant couldn't help but look at his departing figure a few more times. Turning her head, she couldn't help but be stunned.

The fitting room that young master had used, she remembered closing the door, so how was it open now?

...

The Starry Sky Ancient Road Formation Diagram was located in the central area of the station city.

There was a huge plaza there, surrounded by many teahouses and taverns.

Many interstellar travelers chose to stay in the teahouses and taverns while waiting for the teleportation array to open.

Jun Wuxie didn't enter the plaza; he only looked at it from a distance.

Currently, the Ancient Road Formation Diagram was in a dormant state.

He inquired with some people who lived and did business in the city year-round and learned from them that the station city's teleportation array had a fixed number of activations and times each day. Under normal circumstances, it opened six times a day, once every two hours.

Today, due to some unknown situation, the city had announced early in the morning that the Ancient Teleportation Array would be suspended for a day.

"Perhaps there are some minor problems with the Starry Sky Ancient Road that require time to repair. There have been similar situations before," an uncle at the Lesser Heavenly stage comforted Jun Wuxie, saying that there was no need to worry and that it would be repaired at most by tomorrow. He also enthusiastically introduced him to some of the city's specialties.

"This is my first time coming to the Starry Sky Station. I am very curious about this place. This station city should have existed for a very long time, right?"

"Of course," the Lesser Heavenly stage uncle said with a proud face. "We have lived here for generations. It is said that this city has existed for many epochs, and it has never been repaired since its construction. Look, whether it is the city walls or the streets and buildings in the city, they are all well preserved. Even the houses we live in have powerful protective formations added to them. Even if a peak expert at the Extreme Heavenly stage wants to damage these buildings, it won't be easy."

"Really? Are these buildings so sturdy? Does that mean that if we hide in the houses, we can withstand the impact of the aftershocks of a battle even if there are peak Extreme Heavenly stage experts fighting outside?"

"Of course. If there really are peak Extreme Heavenly stage experts fighting in the city, we can guarantee our safety by hiding in the houses. In fact, all the stations in the starry sky are like this, not just our station city. Otherwise, with a large number of Half-Saints coming and going every day, there would inevitably be conflicts and fights. How could we live and work in peace?"

"Thank you."

Jun Wuxie thanked him and left riding Lan Lan.

The middle-aged uncle looked at his departing back, his face gradually showing a look of doubt.

"Why do I feel that this young man looks familiar? It seems like I've seen him somewhere..."

Thinking this, the middle-aged man quickly took out his Starry Sky Rune Communicator and opened a certain live recording image from a long time ago.

His expression became very exciting, with a face full of astonishment.

"It's him! That irritable old brother, Jun Wuxie, the founder of the Immortal Execution Dynasty of the Emperor Beginning Star!"

The middle-aged man stood there in a daze, not expecting to actually see the real person.

That young man who had become famous in the starry sky had come to the station city. How could he come to the starry sky alone? Wasn't he worried about being targeted?

...

Jun Wuxie waited quietly by the plaza where the Starry Sky Ancient Road Teleportation Array was located.

He was too conspicuous. The moon-white sword robe, the calm temperament, and the blue exotic beast under him were all eye-catching points.

The crowds coming and going couldn't help but focus their attention on him.

Soon, someone recognized him and exclaimed in disbelief.

Immediately, many people took out their Starry Sky Rune Communicators and compared him with the person in the live image of Qingyue Fairy and the image of the Immortal Execution Dynasty's celebration day.

"Damn, it's really that irritable old brother!"

"The Jun God of the Immortal Execution Dynasty has come to the starry sky!"

...

The place quickly boiled over, and more and more people gathered, surrounding him tightly.

"Wuwu, Jun God, we are your admirers. Can we take a photo with you?"

Several young and beautiful girls stepped forward, took out a rune memory stone, and looked at him expectantly, requesting a photo.

"Jun God, idol, we are your die-hard fans. Let's take a photo!"

A group of young prodigies pushed through the crowd and ran to him, their faces full of anticipation.

"Wow, Jun God is so handsome, even more handsome than in the images. People have finally seen the real person~"

Several little lolis broke free from their elders' hands and ran happily towards him.

"Handsome my ass, he's not as good as me in any way. You're all blind!"

Someone was full of jealousy, grumbling sourly.

Jun Wuxie was quite speechless. He hadn't expected to have such fame. It was one thing on the rune network, but he actually had so many admirers in reality.

There were many famous people in the starry sky. They should go and worship those "celebrity" figures.

Someone like him was only considered one of the best among his peers in the starry sky. What was there to worship?

While taking photos with people, giving autographs, and dealing with this kind of occasion, he also paid attention to the surrounding movements.

Before long, two majestic fierce beasts pulled a chariot over, and the crowd gave way.

On both sides of the chariot, there were also several Half-Saints at the Greater Heavenly stage following. They stopped in front of Jun Wuxie.

An old man who looked to be in his sixties stepped down from the chariot, cupped his hands, and said with a smile, "This old man is Xing Gai, the city lord of this station city. The arrival of the Jun God of the Immortal Execution Dynasty makes my city shine."

"City Lord Xing Gai, you are too kind," Jun Wuxie said with a smile.

"Not at all, not at all. Jun God is young and promising, famous throughout the starry sky, and the Immortal Execution Dynasty is even more prestigious. I didn't come out to welcome you from afar, which is somewhat rude. To express my apology, please come to the City Lord's Mansion for a short stay, so that I can do my best as a host to show my apology. Please grace me with your presence."

"City Lord Xing Gai, you are too polite. I came to this city to use the Ancient Teleportation Array, so I don't want to disturb you."

"Jun God, what are you saying? How could it be a disturbance?" Xing Gai said with a face full of smiles and a hint of anticipation in his eyes, "With Jun God's prestige and status, it is an honor for me to invite Jun God to my mansion for a short stay. I know that Jun God must have important matters, but unfortunately, there are some problems with this Starry Sky Ancient Road, and it is currently being repaired. If Jun God wants to use the Ancient Teleportation Array, you will have to wait until tomorrow. Before that, Jun God might as well stay at the City Lord's Mansion for a day."

Jun Wuxie smiled and said, "Since the City Lord is so enthusiastic, it would be unreasonable for me to refuse again."

"Jun God graces me with his presence. Please get on the chariot."

City Lord Xing Gai gestured for him to come, his attitude very polite, even somewhat obsequious.

"City Lord is too polite. I can ride my exotic beast."

He didn't get on the chariot and instead flipped over to sit on Lan Lan.

"Very well."

Xing Gai didn't dwell on this, got on the chariot, opened the window, leaned out, and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion, chatting and laughing with Jun Wuxie all the way.

"Lord Divine truly commands respect; even the City Lord of Star Epicycle City has come out to greet him personally!"

"That's Lord Divine we're talking about, the one who founded the Immortal Execution Dynasty! On the day of the celebration, he annihilated hundreds of Extreme Heavenly Realm cultivators, shaking the starry skies!"

"So accomplished at such a young age."

...

Watching their departing figures, the crowd marveled. Some cultivators were filled with admiration and worship, while others curled their lips, their eyes filled with jealousy, sourly claiming that the world was blind. Was the value of life only in strength and power? Were those with interesting souls, like themselves, not considered valuable and successful people?

"Heh heh, you vulgar people, you only ever value force and power, all the same, with your common tastes. You don't understand that an interesting soul is one in a million. We pursue deeper spiritual things; how could shallow people like you understand?"

Some individuals, self-proclaimed as the only ones awake while everyone else was drunk, sneered repeatedly, feeling that the world was too vulgar, that no one knew how to appreciate their uniqueness, only knowing how to blindly pursue and worship those vulgar things.

Upon hearing this, the crowd looked at them with the eyes one reserves for the mentally ill, thinking, 'Where did these idiots come from, endlessly showing off their lack of self-awareness?'

Interesting souls, you say? Is an interesting soul a jealous heart and sour words?

"What right do you keyboard warriors have to criticize Lord Divine? Setting aside force and power, Lord Divine saved the Great Zhou, single-handedly facing the eighty million West Forest invading army, fighting a bloody battle for six days and six nights, defending the capital to the death, saving hundreds of millions of people from the ravages of war! He ushered in an era of peace and prosperity, allowing the citizens of Great Zhou to live and work in peace, no longer bullied. Which of you can do that? Faced with such a scene, you'd probably piss your pants in fear, kneeling and begging for mercy, weeping bitterly!"

"Lord Divine is a real man. What are you? How dare you criticize him?"

"Lord Divine doesn't bully the weak, isn't afraid of the strong, doesn't actively cause trouble, is responsible, values relationships, and dares to confront the Ten Supreme Rulers in the starry sky. He has the courage and the ambition to swallow mountains and rivers. This is the root of why we like and worship him! You people, having no ability of your own, are jealous of this and jealous of that. Do you even have the right to be jealous? Why don't you take a piss and look at your own pathetic selves?"

...

Those who were sour with jealousy were met with a fierce attack, verbally condemned until they were speechless. They couldn't even utter a word of forced explanation; as soon as they opened their mouths, their voices were drowned out by the voices of the crowd.

They had incurred the wrath of the public.
