Chapter 2279 - Heaven's Attention!

Wang Chong fell quiet, cognizant of what was going on.

For this group, the northern expedition had been extremely perilous. This would have been understandable if this had been all of the Celestial God Organization’s power, but this was merely one of their bases.

There was no question that the Celestial God Organization’s power had left all of them deeply uneasy, even afraid.

A powerful organization that could easily create mythical figures, summon cold waves, and command countless experts was undoubtedly an organization to be feared.

And that wasn’t even considering that there was still someone above the likes of Genesis Supreme who had yet to reveal himself, the unbelievably powerful Heaven.

Before this, the various sovereigns had always considered imperial authority to be the highest existence, but in front of the Celestial God Organization that could easily wipe away the world and all the civilizations upon it, imperial authority was a lowly and puny toy.

This was the first time the sovereigns of the other countries had felt such fear.

“This form of the Purification plan might not happen again, but so long as the Celestial God Organization exists, there will be a second Purification plan, and a third, and a fourth. There will never be an end to it.”

Wang Chong’s eyes coldly flashed as he callously snuffed out their hopes.

Wang Chong could clearly tell that the complexions of the sovereigns had grown more defeated.

But he was entirely unmoved.

Deceiving oneself about the Celestial God Organization had no point. Only by relinquishing all unrealistic dreams could one contend against this organization and the greater calamity to come.

Wang Chong didn’t know what other plans the Celestial God Organization had, but he was certain that they would never stop.

“Come; everyone is still waiting for us in Youzhou.”

Wang Chong ended the conversation.

Behind him, Yeon Gaesomun, Ozmish Khagan, the Khitan King, and the Xi Queen glanced at each other, and then something Wang Chong had never expected took place.

Bangbangbang!

Ozmish Khagan, Yeon Gaesomun, the Xi Queen, and the Khitan King suddenly got down on one knee, respectful looks on their faces.

“What are you doing?” Wang Chong frowned.

“Your Highness, you do not need to overthink things. We have no other intentions.

“No one else can understand what we went off to do in this northern expedition, and if we did not speak of it, the common folk would never understand what the Celestial God Organization is or what the significance of this journey was.

“But none of us will ever forget Your Highness’s kindness.”

“That’s right. In the future, if Your Highness requires anything, you need only to say the word or show your token. All the Eastern Turks will be at your beck and call!”

“That is what I wanted to say as well! We Khitans pledge our eternal loyalty to Your Highness. Your Highness is the savior of all Khitans.”

“Our Goguryeo Empire is also willing to swear fealty to Your Highness, never to betray you.”

They all lowered their heads as they respectfully spoke.

This was so sudden that Zhangchou Jianqiong and the other Tang generals were left dumbfounded.

The other countries had always been untamable, and Zhangchou Jianqiong and the others had truthfully been somewhat worried about what would happen now that this expedition was over.

The Celestial God Organization was an outside invader, but the entire continent was still plagued by internal conflicts. Dealing with the armies and common folk of other countries would have still presented a very large problem.

But now, this stance from the other countries was greatly soothing to the Tang generals.

At the very least, the expressions of submission from their sovereigns to Wang Chong would save the Great Tang a lot of trouble.

Whether it was Zhangchou Jianqiong or Wang Zhongsi, they could tell that Ozmish Khagan and the other sovereigns were sincere.

Meanwhile, Ozmish Khagan and the others continued to keep their heads bowed.

They did not know what Zhangchou Jianqiong and the Tang generals were thinking, but in this northern expedition, they had received the greatest shock in their lives, even greater than the impact of the war in the northeast.

All living creatures as toys, all of creation like straw dogs!

This was how the Celestial God Organization acted. If not for Wang Chong, they would have never realized that this world-ending calamity had been brought about by these people.

Secular imperial authority was far too weak in front of these people. Besides Wang Chong, there was no one else that could save the world.

Wang Chong had become the hope of the entire world.

Wang Chong stood silently as the winds howled around him, and after a few moments, he solemnly nodded.

……

At the same time, in an unknown and mysterious dimension, two slender and bizarre figures watched what was happening on the polar ice plain through a large crystal.

These two both wore masks—one that was black on the left and white on the right, the other white on the left and black on the right. Moreover, on their foreheads, at the dividing line, there was a mysterious red symbol.

If Wang Chong were here, he would have recognized from their auras that these two were Grand Supreme and Radiance Supreme.

Through the crystal, the pair could see what was going on at the edge of the extreme north and also what was going on at the source of the cold wave.

Since the dimension had collapsed, cutting off the energy supply, the shark-like creatures in the sea and the savage Hou on the ice plain were losing life force and beginning to petrify.

This important base of the Celestial God Organization that had existed for tens of thousands of years was in the midst of total collapse.

“To think that he would really succeed… He even defeated the giant idol left by Heaven. This Child of Destruction is different from all the others,” one of the pair suddenly said.

“We underestimated him too much. The same is true for Genesis Supreme, and he paid the price for it,” the other man replied.

“Genesis Supreme was stronger than the both of us and had a divine tool granted by Heaven. In normal circumstances, this should have been more than enough for the Purification plan. After all, it’s not like this hasn’t happened before. But who could have imagined that…”

Grand Supreme stopped, unable to continue.

Some time had passed since Genesis Supreme’s death, but the two of them were still overcome by shock.

The larger and older an organization was, the stricter the hierarchy. In the Celestial God Organization, every person had their place and duty. These were laws that had been formed over the eons, personally set down by Heaven, and they were the reason the Celestial God Organization had been able to persist for so long!

When that Sage Emperor of the Great Tang had died, everyone believed that nothing else could threaten the Celestial God Organization. But the war of the northeast had told them otherwise.

In the Celestial God Organization, the first level of members were irrelevant, as important as ants. They could get as many as they wanted, and those chosen would even be grateful that they had been given the chance.

But the leadership, the Supremes, were entirely different.

The longer one lived, the more one cherished life.

When that giant idol appeared, Grand Supreme and Radiance Supreme could have come out and joined the giant idol in attacking.

But the two never once considered the idea.

That youth was too dangerous. Even if there was only a one-in-ten-thousand chance that they might fail, Grand Supreme and Radiance Supreme didn’t dare to take the risk.

And they also had Genesis Supreme as an example.

“This person is too powerful. If he’s not stopped now, we’ll have another Li Taiyi on our hands. We have to find some way to suppress him,” Grand Supreme sternly said.

The dimension fell silent, Radiance Supreme unable to reply.

Dealing with the Child of Destruction was easier said than done.

The Child of Destruction had dueled and defeated Genesis Supreme, and he was now even stronger, having destroyed the giant idol. He would be even harder to stop now.

If they had a way to kill him, would the two of them have let Wang Chong’s group go so easily?

As the two pondered, a majestic voice boomed through the dimension. “There is no need for you to worry about this matter.”

That voice was like the radiant sun hanging over the high heavens, the rumble of thunder penetrating through the universe, stimulating a fear that came from the deepest depths of one’s soul.

Heaven!

The eyes of Grand Supreme and Radiance Supreme filled with fear and respect.

Their expressions were like those of mice that had encountered a cat. It was impossible to associate them with the mighty Supremes.

“Great One!”

Grand Supreme and Radiance Supreme immediately bowed to the void.

In the Celestial God Organization, there was only one supreme will, and that was Heaven!

Everything had been created by Heaven, and even the Supremes had received their powers from Heaven.

Heaven could be considered the architect of civilization after civilization.

“Heaven, our apologies! We failed this mission! The divine soldier was destroyed and the teleportation gate has collapsed!” Grand Supreme and Radiance Supreme respectfully said, their expressions rather panicked.

“We already know of this matter. Starting from now, that Wang Chong is no longer a duty of the Supremes. We will personally deal with it.”

Heaven’s voice was as calm and unperturbed as an ancient well, yet majestic beyond compare. The meaning of his words left Grand Supreme and Radiance Supreme stunned.

Heaven was going to personally deal with that Child of Destruction?

Other than that Li Taiyi, the two of them couldn’t remember the last time someone had earned Heaven’s attention and made him personally deal with the problem.

Even more interesting was that Heaven had said he would deal with the Child of Destruction without any prompting.
