Lin Moyu was the first to sense it, followed by Lin Mohan, and then the others.
In the sky several thousand miles away, a dark cloud was rolling in, carrying overwhelming pressure.
"God Venerable?"
Lin Moyu vaguely sensed the aura of a God Venerable, but it felt slightly off.
Xu Jianxing said, "It's not a God Venerable, but the true peak of a Lesser God Venerable. One foot has already stepped into the Law Galaxy, but it hasn't fully entered, so it doesn't count as a true God Venerable."
Is such a maneuver even possible?
After a Lesser God Venerable reaches perfection, their soul enters the Law Galaxy, receives the baptism of the Law Galaxy, gains the acknowledgment of the Law Galaxy, and achieves the status of a God Venerable.
At that point, they can roam the Law Galaxy, mobilize the power of the Law Galaxy, and their combat strength will far exceed that of a Lesser God Venerable.
Yet, he actually stepped one foot into the Law Galaxy and received a partial baptism from it.
In this way, he still cannot mobilize the power of the Law Galaxy.
Although he is slightly stronger than a Lesser God Venerable, the improvement is limited.
Lin Mohan's eyes held disdain. "The baptism of the Law Galaxy needs to be completed all at once to achieve perfection."
"For him to invert the order of priorities like this, he's truly brain-dead."
Lin Mohan spoke without any courtesy. Lin Moyu chuckled, "Sister, don't blurt out the hard truths."
Listening to the siblings' conversation, the corners of Xu Jianxing's mouth twitched. "His name is Dongfang Ze, and he is a top genius in the God City."
Lin Mohan gave Xu Jianxing absolutely no face. "A top genius can do something like this? A top idiot, more like."
Xu Jianxing smiled bitterly. "Master Lin, you are joking. Dongfang Ze has a special talent. Although he only received a partial baptism, he can already mobilize some of the Law Galaxy's power."
"And because of this talent, the impact of the two-part baptism won't be significant for him."
Lin Moyu shook his head. "Even if the impact is negligible, it will become a hidden danger in the future."
Lin Moyu had experienced a perfect promotion to the God King Realm, so he was very clear about this.
Even the slightest oversight would be magnified infinitely as one's realm increased.
Even if Dongfang Ze relied on his talent to minimize the impact, imperfection is still imperfection.
Lin Mohan glanced at Xu Jianxing. "Your foundation is very solid; your future achievements will be higher than Dongfang Ze's."
Suddenly receiving praise, Xu Jianxing felt flattered. "Thank you for the compliment, Fairy Han. I know my own limitations."
Lin Moyu knew his sister's personality. "My sister never speaks nonsense. Cultivation isn't about who walks the fastest, but who walks the furthest."
Xu Jianxing took their words to heart.
The pressure brought by the dark cloud grew stronger and stronger, enveloping everyone as if a giant hand were pressing down upon them.
Doing this was extremely impolite and revealed the other party's arrogance.
"How rude!"
Someone shouted angrily, a powerful aura rising from their body.
"You're courting death!" The people from the War God Temple reacted one after another, and waves of intense pressure rose into the sky.
It had always been the War God Temple that held itself above others; when was it ever someone else's turn to act like this?
There were many Lesser God Venerables present, and none of them feared the others.
"Hahahaha!"
Unrestrained and wild laughter came from the dark cloud, and the pressure intensified abruptly.
Relying on his own strength, Dongfang Ze confronted more than a dozen Lesser God Venerables without falling behind in the slightest.
Judging from the strength displayed, Dongfang Ze was indeed very strong.
Yet, Lin Mohan's eyes still held disdain, showing no sign of taking Dongfang Ze seriously.
As for Lin Moyu, he had killed quite a few God Venerables, so someone like Dongfang Ze amounted to nothing.
Xu Jianxing stood to the side, his expression very grave.
He was enduring the pressure brought by Dongfang Ze and was not having an easy time.
Lin Moyu gently patted Xu Jianxing on the shoulder. Xu Jianxing's body trembled violently, and all the pressure receded like a receding tide in an instant, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
He looked at Lin Moyu in utter shock. Such a casual action from Lin Moyu had already fully revealed his strength.
"Could it be that Chu Xiong wasn't talking nonsense, and it's all true?" A bold guess emerged in Xu Jianxing's mind, feeling that perhaps Chu Xiong wasn't just spouting nonsense.
Lin Moyu smiled and asked, "In the God City, are there many people like Dongfang Ze?"
Xu Jianxing said, "The God City has strict hierarchy, divided into five levels: Outer, Primary, Intermediate, Advanced, and Top."
"Dongfang Ze is at the Primary level. Within the Primary level, he belongs to the top geniuses."
"But compared to the Intermediate level, he is still quite lacking."
"However, I have only heard of this. I have never seen geniuses of the Intermediate level; they keep to themselves and rarely appear."
Lin Moyu learned some more information about the God City, and combined with his own guesses and understanding, the image of the God City in his mind became more complete.
Lin Moyu said, "He should be close to touching the Intermediate level, right?"
Xu Jianxing was stunned for a moment. "How did you know, Senior Brother Lin?"
Lin Moyu smiled. "This isn't hard to guess. The reason he is so high-profile and aggressive is simply to give us a hard time and leave us with the impression that he is very strong."
"The ultimate goal is nothing more than to suppress us, so that he can improve his status in the God City and thereby obtain a promotion."
From the limited information, Lin Moyu had already analyzed a great deal.
Xu Jianxing said with admiration, "I didn't expect Senior Brother Lin to be able to analyze this information without even having entered the God City. I am truly impressed."
Lin Mohan smiled. "Little brother, you are smarter than before."
Lin Moyu sighed. "No choice; stepping into the Great World is like walking on thin ice."
Lin Mohan scoffed, raised her jade hand, and flicked Lin Moyu on the forehead. "Don't put on such an old-fashioned air; think about how young you actually are."
Facing his older sister, Lin Moyu was truly helpless.
The pressure in the sky finally converged. Both sides were evenly matched, and continuing the contest would yield no results.
In terms of pure pressure, Dongfang Ze could be considered the winner.
After all, they couldn't actually fight; comparing pressure was already the limit.
The Lesser God Venerables retracted their pressure with tacit understanding, and those who were not Lesser God Venerables breathed a sigh of relief.
Under the pressure of the Lesser God Venerables, they were having a hard time.
The dark cloud dissipated, revealing Dongfang Ze's true appearance.
Dongfang Ze looked delicate and handsome, with bright, shining eyes overflowing with confidence.
The aura he exuded carried a hint of rebelliousness, enough to charm countless young women.
Dongfang Ze cupped his hands toward the crowd. "I was offensive just now; please don't take offense, fellow junior brothers and sisters."
Since he suddenly became so polite, others couldn't easily lash out.
Chu Xiong snorted coldly. "When there's an opportunity, let's have a fight."
Dongfang Ze laughed loudly. "Good, once Chu Xiong enters the God City, we can have a proper fight."
Lin Moyu gained another piece of information: it seemed that fighting was allowed within the God City.
Looking at Dongfang Ze's demeanor, he was even more certain that he had done it on purpose just now.
Dongfang Ze's gaze swept through the crowd and fixed on Lin Mohan.
When he saw Lin Moyu standing beside Lin Mohan, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he did not show it.
He moved, instantly arriving in front of Lin Mohan, transforming into a humble gentleman. "Fairy Han, I trust you have been well?"
Lin Mohan's expression was indifferent. "Have we met?"
Dongfang Ze's expression stiffened, then he squeezed out a smile. "Three years ago, my master brought me to visit God Venerable Jianlan, and I was fortunate enough to see Fairy Han that day."
Lin Mohan made an "Oh" sound. "Was there such a thing? I don't remember."
Dongfang Ze looked slightly awkward. "Perhaps Fairy Han was engrossed in cultivation at the time and paid no mind to external matters."
Lin Mohan still had no expression. "Let's just say we've met. Do you have something?"
Chapter 1489: This guy's brain isn't working well
Lin Mohan kept people at a distance with her indifference.
Watching Dongfang Ze's awkward appearance, Lin Moyu found it somewhat funny.
He knew that another reason Dongfang Ze chose to be so arrogant earlier was that he wanted to show off in front of Lin Mohan.
The result was counterproductive; he failed to show off and instead became a clown.
Dongfang Ze squeezed out a smile amidst his embarrassment. "Nothing much, just…"
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Lin Mohan. "Since there's nothing, don't just stand there; you're affecting my ability to watch the match."
Dongfang Ze instinctively stepped back half a step, yielding his position.
The scene became even more awkward. Dongfang Ze felt that he had become the focus of the whole crowd, but this focus wasn't good; it was a bit embarrassing and caused him to lose face.
Most of the people present would likely enter the God City in the future, and they might spread the word about today's events.
People will talk, and it's impossible to stop them.
But if he did nothing, his previous efforts would be in vain.
He would truly become a clown.
His eyes darted around, and Dongfang Ze suddenly said loudly, "Is Lin Moyu here?"
His gaze was extremely sharp, sweeping over the crowd.
Dongfang Ze suddenly felt something was wrong; why was everyone looking at him?
No, they weren't looking at him, but behind him.
At this moment, a clear voice came from behind him. "What do you want with me?"
Dongfang Ze turned around abruptly and saw Lin Moyu. "So you are Lin Moyu."
Lin Moyu looked at him as if he were an idiot. He hadn't hidden his identity information; couldn't he just look for himself?
It seemed his eyes were set too high, so he couldn't see some things.
Seeing that Lin Moyu completely ignored him, a trace of displeasure flashed in Dongfang Ze's eyes. He found Lin Moyu unpleasant no matter how he looked at him.
Having seen Lin Moyu standing side by side with the goddess he admired earlier, he already disliked Lin Moyu.
Now, that dislike increased by a few points.
Dongfang Ze said coldly, "I heard you are the number one on the three lists of the Vermilion Bird Star Domain, and God Venerable Qingjian praised you to the heavens. Meeting you is not as good as hearing about you; it seems you are nothing special, so disappointing."
Lin Moyu seemed not to understand the meaning behind Dongfang Ze's words, and instead said to himself, "Senior Qingjian successfully promoted to God Venerable, that is truly good news."
After saying this, there was no follow-up, and Dongfang Ze felt ignored again.
He had always been the center of attention; when had he ever experienced this feeling?
Dongfang Ze was angry, but he didn't know how to vent it.
Lin Moyu didn't take his bait at all and wouldn't engage in a confrontation with him.
Clearly, his words contained malice, but Lin Moyu acted as if he didn't understand.
"Is this guy an idiot?"
"Can't he understand when I speak so clearly?"
"Can we even have a proper conversation?"
His face turned red and then white; he couldn't leave, nor could he stay.
He received another wave of mocking gazes. Dongfang Ze roared in his heart, "Lin Moyu, before the Four Star Domain Competition, shall we have a match first? I can suppress my cultivation to the third stage of the God King Realm…"
Lin Moyu refused flatly. "No interest. If you have nothing else, move aside; you're affecting my ability to watch the match."
