Calamity of Tomorrow

The Si Yi Heavenly Monarch looked at Xiang Tiandi before him with a faint smile, shaking the bell on his foot slightly, thinking about the terrifying speed of progress of the other party these days, and couldn't help but feel secretly alarmed.

'Now, Xiang Tiandi is not only at the pinnacle of thunder techniques, maintaining a state of celestial-human induction at all times, but he can also freely control heavenly thunder with the divine power of the Thunder Department.'

'His own Dao transformation degree has also broken through 160%, the Luotian Realm can already manifest in the Material World, expanding his divine domain, even semi-permanently altering the spatial structure of the Material World.'

'Not to mention that all his other martial arts and Taoist skills have also advanced by leaps and bounds, with very fast recovery speed.'

'And those few aberrant weapons, at this moment in the celestial court, not counting the Heavenly Venerable and the God Emperor, Xiang Tiandi's strength is already enough to rank among the top three.'

'God of Tribulation... His Majesty was indeed not wrong, only the God of Tribulation could recover skills so quickly.'

A flash of thought passed through his mind, the Si Yi Heavenly Monarch nodded towards Xiang Tiandi, "Until yesterday, we contacted the God Emperor in seclusion, but still did not receive a specific response, just told us to stay calm and properly prepare for the wedding."

The Si Yi Heavenly Monarch rubbed his chest and sighed, "Today I always have a feeling of unease in my heart, the Heavenly Venerable and God Emperor jointly planning this wedding must have extraordinary significance behind it, today we must be fully prepared."

"After you go to Donghua City to kill Zhou Bai, mix into today's wedding banquet and see what kind of trick this wedding is going to pull."

Xiang Tiandi nodded, "I understand."

Having arranged for Xiang Tiandi, the Si Yi Heavenly Monarch then transformed into a breeze and returned to the other side of the heavenly palace, where many Plague Department deities were waiting.

The elderly leading the group, seemingly as thin as a skeleton, was Bao Bing Heavenly Monarch of the Plague Department.

Standing beside Bao Bing Heavenly Monarch was a little boy who looked like he was about five or six years old, with two high braids on his head, known as the Du Xing Heavenly Monarch, master of the most Twilight Taoist Skills.

The little boy touched the high braids on his head and casually said, "Si Yi, you're finally here, it's about time, let's go."

The Si Yi Heavenly Monarch, with her snow-white long legs, lightly rang the bells on her hands and feet.

She walked to the side of the two Heavenly Monarchs and transmitted, "I have already spoken with Xiang Tiandi, once he kills Zhou Bai he will come over. Besides him and Fan Ming in the Thunder Department, the other two Marshals have also secretly returned, lying in ambush outside the sky, ready to assist at a single command."

The Thunder Department is the first war machine of the heavenly court, often dispatching at least two marshals to raid outside the sky, slaughtering Heavenly Demons, and battling Mars, Saturn, and other places.

This time, Si Yi Heavenly Monarch called back the marshals of the Thunder Department who were fighting outside, clearly fully prepared.

Bao Bing Heavenly Monarch said, "Then let's go." With that, he flicked his forefinger lightly, a golden streak soared horizontally across the sky, like auroras traversing the heavens.

The gods of the Plague Department, along with the golden streak, were about to fly to the depths of Miluo Heavenly Palace, when Si Yi Heavenly Monarch turned around, instructed Yan Zhenjun, "You don't need to go to the wedding banquet this time, stay and guard here."

Yan Zhenjun was slightly stunned, puzzled, "With the grand formation guarding and within Miluo Heavenly Palace, it shouldn't need guarding…"

Si Yi Heavenly Monarch coldly said, "Then how did Li Xiuzhu steal things last time? You stay home and guard the Plague Department well, wait until we return from the wedding banquet."

The other Heavenly Monarchs, deities also felt this statement reasonable, this time the celestial court's wedding involved almost all the immortals and gods, they all went to the wedding banquet, someone must be left behind to guard the house to feel assured.

Si Yi Heavenly Monarch gazing at Yan Zhenjun, thought darkly: 'This guy's cultivation was already low, even after comprehending Taiwei Nine Celestial algorithm, he still made no progress, taking him out would be of no help, better to stay and guard the house.'

Yan Zhenjun watching everyone agree, no one stood up to help him, next moment his face turned slightly red with anger, silently furious: 'Si Yi... this woman is simply too much, just because I lost to Zhou Bai, this mortal?'

'It'd be best if you all encountered an accident and died at the wedding, then I would be the number one deity of the Plague Department.'

Watching the backs of the gods leaving, Yan Zhenjun slowly exhaled: 'One day, I'll make sure you all look only at me.'

On the way back, the more Yan Zhenjun thought, the angrier he became, determined to go back and practice hard, to one day surpass the Heavenly Monarchs, becoming a top strong man of the celestial court.

Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure appear on the distant auspicious clouds, he immediately transmitted, "Tan Lang?"

The Great Sage Tan Lang's figure trembled, turned around, stepping on auspicious clouds, flew to Yan Zhenjun's side.

The Great Sage Tan Lang said, "You?"

Yan Zhenjun said, "You?"

The Great Sage Tan Lang said, "I…"

Yan Zhenjun said, "I…"

The two thought of their recent conditions, their faces both showed awkwardness, it was Yan Zhenjun who broke the silence, "Ah, Si Yi Heavenly Monarch let me go back to guard the house, said it's to prevent someone from stealing from the Plague Department during the wedding day."

"The same goes for me, Nan Dou Heavenly Monarch also let me go back to house guard." The Great Sage Tan Lang hearing this, immediately sighed, "Probably because of losing to Zhou Bai, now up and down the department, whether gods or mortals, ultimately all slight me a little."

The two shared their grievances, chatted for a long while, Yan Zhenjun suddenly said, "Xiang Tianjun is still under house arrest in Thunder Department, unable to join the wedding this time, why don't we go visit him?"

The Great Sage Tan Lang recalling Xiang Tiandi kneeling to Zhou Bai, also showing his demon form, immediately nodded, "Yan brother speaks rightly, Xiang Tianjun these three months perhaps suffered more than us."

So the two stepped on the same auspicious cloud, flying towards the place Xiang Tiandi was under house arrest.

...

Meanwhile, thousands of kilometers away from Central City, in Donghua City, the citizens inside the city were still carrying on their days like usual, the joyful atmosphere from Central City didn't transmit here.

Li Xiuzhu stood at the entrance of an alley by the street, his figure looked even more emaciated than a few months ago, eyes sunken, yet still very spirited.

Li Xiuzhu watched the streets go from the morning busyness before work, gradually turning into empty, everyone seemed to work like gears, living according to the rules set by the strong.

He sighed gently in his heart.

Nowadays, in the five major cities of humanity, ninety-nine percent of humans are all regarded as the cheapest labor, the most basic consumables, the upper strong are squeezing ordinary people's labor to meet their own needs for clothing, food, housing, and various cultivation requirements.
