Chapter 777: This Is A God

These two sentences carried the might of the Word of Law.

A loud sound echoed.

As the incantation fell, a fluctuation of Law swept across the Imperial Capital.

Miracles played out before tens of millions of eyes.

The entire city began to reverse.

"Look quickly! Goodness, look at those buildings!"

In front of a ruin in the city center, a middle-aged man sitting limply on the ground jumped up, pointing at mid-air and shouting.

Looking in the direction of his finger——

Those collapsed skyscrapers were being restored.

The shattered glass, steel bars, and concrete fragments all over the ground floated up into the air.

"Crack, crack, crack, crack——"

Accompanied by the sound of reorganization, those fragments flew back to their original fractured positions, the steel bars were welded anew, and the glass returned to its original state.

In a few seconds, building after building, bathed in purple-golden light, stood proudly on the streets once more.

The fractured foundations on the road healed amidst rolling earth, leaving no cracks.

This was merely a miracle on the material level.

Following closely behind was the reshaping of life.

The purple-golden sweet dew turned into a rain of light, falling onto the wounded.

"Ugh… Ah!"

In a medical camp, a heavy armor warrior whose legs were broken let out an exclamation.

He lifted the white cloth on his body and stared at his lower body.

Under the nourishment of the purple-golden light rain, the granulation tissue at his severed stumps was wriggling and growing.

Bones reshaped, Meridians connected, and muscles covered!

In the blink of an eye, a pair of thighs grew out.

"My legs… My legs grew out?"

Touching his new legs, that heavy armor warrior jumped off the stretcher, bounced twice on the spot, and tears burst from his eyes.

"I'm healed? My health points are fully restored? This is bringing the dead back to life!"

Not just him.

In every corner of the entire Imperial Capital, the same miracle was unfolding.

"Cough cough… Puh!"

At the edge of the ruins in the city center, a pale-skinned young girl opened her eyes, coughed once, and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Afterwards, her complexion regained its ruddy hue, and she breathed in the air in large gulps.

The mother holding her stood frozen in place.

"Nannan? You… You didn't die? You really didn't die?"

The mother stroked her daughter's cheeks, afraid that this was an illusion.

"Mom, it doesn't hurt anymore… I feel so warm all over."

The young girl crawled up from the ground, raised her head, and looked at the phantom of the old man in the sky: "Was it that glowing old grandpa who saved me?"

"Yes… It's a god! It's a god!"

Dragging her daughter, the mother knelt toward that phantom in the sky, pressing her forehead against the ground, weeping uncontrollably.

"Thank you, god, for saving our lives! Thank you, god!"

This kneeling became the first domino to fall.

"We're saved! We're all fine!"

"Wife! Look quickly, my arm has recovered! We can go home!"

"Wuwuwu… You scared me to death, I thought the Imperial Capital was really going to be destroyed this time, I thought we were really dead for sure!"

People embraced and wept, cheers echoing through the streets.

"Thud!"

"Thud! Thud!"

The purple-golden light dissipated with the wind, fading away above the Imperial Capital.

The commoners in the city raised their heads, gazing blankly at the sky.

In the streets and alleys of the city, countless commoners kowtowed toward the dissipating phantom of the Great Sage Li Er in the sky.

Whether ordinary people or high-Rank Professionals, all of them knelt and prostrated on the ground.

Bringing the dead back to life, reversing time!

This was a taboo power that surpassed the Professionals System and subverted the rules of the mortal world!

"That old man high up in the sky is a god…"

Countless people wept uncontrollably, their prayers converging into an invisible torrent that surged straight into the clouds.

Thousands of meters high in the sky, Zhou Huai stood with his hands behind his back, watching the System screen refresh in his mind.

[Ding! Gained Power Of Faith, Karma value +1000!]

[Ding! Gained extremely fervent faith, Karma value +5000!]

[Ding! …]

Listening to the continuous prompt tones, Zhou Huai smiled.

Controlling the Li Er Clone to execute that wave of Word of Law just now, coupled with the large-scale time reversal, directly squandered over a million of his Karma value. In the past, his heart would have ached long ago.

But now, he wasn't flustered at all.

The Imperial Capital was a super metropolis with a population of tens of millions! After experiencing that darkest moment of being trampled by ancient monsters, the suddenly descended miracle was enough to completely ignite the faith of these tens of millions of people.

This was a steady-profit-no-loss deal.

Looking at the soaring Karma value on his panel, Zhou Huai understood that breaking even was only a matter of time, and he would even make a killing!

Just as he was silently calculating, two streaks of light galloped over from the wilderness below, finally stabilizing their figures dozens of meters away from the Abyssal Magic Dragon.

They were none other than Zhao Qingcang, the Supreme Commander of the Great Xia Military Department, and Lin Zhu, the Principal of the Imperial Capital University.

At this moment, how could the two of them still have any of their usual composure? They stared at the Imperial Capital below, then raised their heads to look at Zhou Huai, their mouths wide open.

If they hadn't experienced it personally, who would dare to believe that this city, which just a second ago was nearly completely destroyed by the Earth-element Law and turned into a living hell, was now as good as new?!

Zhao Qingcang panted heavily, his chest rising and falling violently. He looked at Zhou Huai, his voice trembling: "Zhou Huai… All of this… is this really all your doing?"

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his eyes wide open.

"Right now, what Rank of Professionals are you, exactly?"

"Or rather—are you still considered a Professional?"

Hearing Zhao Qingcang's question, Zhou Huai grinned.

Without answering, he lowered his head and looked at his hand. Beneath that skin flowed the Origin power that fused a dozen or so top-tier Laws and transcended dimensions, replacing regular mana values.

"Strictly speaking—I'm not quite a Professional anymore." Zhou Huai thought for a moment, looking at the two of them, "If we really must define a Realm for the current me…"

"It should be considered a Half-step Transcendent, I suppose."

"A… A Half-step Transcendent?!"

Zhao Qingcang was slightly dazed. Occupying a high position in the Great Xia Military Department and having been exposed to countless top-tier secrets, this was the first time he had heard such a novel statement.

"What is a Transcendent?" Lin Zhu couldn't help cutting in from the side, her eyes wide open: "From when you left Donghai City until now, not actually that long of a time has passed. Why are your changes… so massive?!"

Zhou Huai spread his hands and smiled somewhat helplessly.

"A Transcendent is an existence that has completely shattered the bottom-layer rule shackles bestowed by the Heavenly Dao System, and is no longer restricted by numerical quantification such as professions, Ranks, and attribute panels. Simply put, they are chess pieces that have jumped out of the chessboard."

Looking at their still half-understanding expressions, he sighed: "Forget it, talking about this… it's a long story. The water inside is too deep, and it can't be explained clearly in a few words."
