Chapter 145: The Agony of a Thousand Cuts
[As the video played, you caught the details you were eager to hear.]
[But the story it told was unexpected, leaving you utterly shocked.]
[The video recounted that in 2051, all four major border battlefields erupted in fierce attacks. Top powerful beings from other realms broke through the defenses of the Mount Sea Battlefield, savagely tearing apart a border defense line.]
[Simultaneously, the four major battlefields within China also faced massive assaults.]
[In this crisis, divine fate bearers from across the land rushed to quell the chaos.]
[Yet, divine fate bearers are not all-powerful gods; they too have their limits.]
[With multiple uprisings and the involvement of top powerful beings, the Imperial Capital Battlefield and Magic City Battlefield were breached, and a flood of powerful beings from other realms surged into the Imperial Capital.]
[Their target was none other than the God of Martial Arts!]
[The God of Martial Arts, stationed in the Imperial Capital, wielded unparalleled strength.]
[After swiftly killing several powerful beings from other realms, he unleashed his great powers, unleashing an unstoppable force that flattened thousands of Arrow Realm portals across the Magic City Battlefield and Imperial Capital Battlefield.]
[But even the strongest have their limits. As the God of Martial Arts grew exhausted, a massive hand emerged from the Arrow Realm portals, capturing the weakened God of Martial Arts.]
[Soon after, the Arrow Realm made a proclamation to the world.]
[Those brutes declared the God of Martial Arts to be the embodiment of evil, the one most deserving of judgment!]
[The Arrow Realm’s statement claimed that the despicable Earth Deities could not tolerate the evil deep within the God of Martial Arts’s soul and intended to put him on trial.]
[They also declared that he was not the God of Martial Arts but the God of Wealth, the source of all calamity in the world!]
[As long as the God of Wealth lived, disasters would never end!]
[And so, the brutal judgment began.]
[After sealing and suppressing the God of Martial Arts, the beings from other realms forced him to kneel before the assembly.]
[Using heavenly fire, disaster winds, fallen rain, and calamity thunder—thirty-six soul-crushing forces—they relentlessly bombarded the God of Martial Arts’s soul, subjecting him to unending torment.]
[Every second, he endured the agony of thirty-six types of soul-crushing pain. No one could fathom the suffering the God of Martial Arts endured!]
[What is certain is that any one of the punishments inflicted on him was akin to a thousand cuts at the soul level—or worse!]
[Thankfully, the bonds between divine fate bearers are strong. Upon hearing of this, the Star God and the Fighting God were enraged and stormed into the Realm of Magic together.]
[Scholars later speculated that the magic clan had tortured the God of Martial Arts to lure the Star God and the Fighting God into the Realm of Magic to rescue him.]
[Earth Deities are bound by rules and cannot interfere in worldly affairs at will.]
[However, if an Earth Deity is attacked or their actions are disrupted, retaliation—even killing the enemy—is permitted under the rules.]
[The details of the battle with the magic clan remain unknown. What we do know is that after the fight, the Fighting God returned with a gravely injured God of Martial Arts, while the Star God vanished without a trace.]
[The magic clan and its three hundred twenty-eight Arrow Realm portals were obliterated in that battle.]
[One top-tier Arrow Realm, twenty-seven large Arrow Realms, and three hundred small and medium Arrow Realms were utterly destroyed!]
[From that point on, the Arrow Realm’s offensive was halted, and China finally caught a breath.]
[However, three months ago, the Fighting God roared in the Mount Sea Battlefield, his words hinting at his triumph over the Earth Deities.]
[According to scholar Liu Ziye, it’s possible that the Fighting God’s victory over the Earth Deities in the Realm of Magic unleashed an explosive surge of power, shattering the Arrow Realm’s understanding of top powerful beings.]
[Thus, the Arrow Realm has its concerns.]
[The Fighting God, tasked with defending China, was also burdened with many worries, ultimately choosing to guard the Mount Sea Battlefield rather than charging into the enemy camp.]
[As for our beloved God of Martial Arts, who founded martial arts, nurtured its growth, and transformed the lives of Ordinary People, he fell shortly after returning to Magic City.]
[In that past battle, the Arrow Realm suffered heavy losses.]
[Yet, China also faced significant losses; following the fall of the Wind God five years ago and the God of Theater three years ago, two more divine fate bearers from China perished in that battle.]
[Angry God of Wealth! From the distant video footage, you learned of your soul being tortured by the Magic Clan; what are your thoughts?]
[Using thirty-six soul-striking methods to torment you, such a cruel punishment likely leaves one wishing for death yet unable to escape it.]
[Just thinking about it makes you feel sorrow for this timeline version of yourself.]
[At the same time, you secretly resolve that, regardless of how things develop in the future, the Magic Clan must die!]
[The words "Realm of Magic" have already made it onto your kill list!]
[To torment your sub-timeline self to such a state is no longer just a simple enmity.]
[When the Magic Clan falls into your hands, you vow you will never let them die easily or peacefully.]
[And the Star God, Wind God, and God of Theater, this Time and Space Journey seems to have undergone unimaginable changes.]
[Upon careful calculation, it seems there are only the Fighting God and the Shadow God left as divine fate bearers in China; perhaps this is a key factor in the current decline of the Imperial Capital of China.]
Su Wen took a deep breath, then slowly closed his eyes.
In the previous Time and Space Journey, although he died at the hands of other beings, he was mostly killed outright.
Whether he was slain by the Ghost Face King or met a tragic end during an assault by other beings, it all happened in battle.
He died, so it was over!
But this time, he was captured by the Magic Clan and brought back to be judged by the Earth Deities of the Realm of Magic?
Kneeling in his flesh!
His soul undergoing Thousand Cuts!
Not just once, but thirty-six layers happening simultaneously!
Even from a textual description, he could imagine how painful and infuriating that torment would be!
The Magic Clan!
Damn them!
Whether others live or die, kill or not, it doesn’t matter!
But the Magic Clan must be killed!
And that Magic Alliance, along with those races under the Magic Clan, must also perish!
Anyone connected to the Magic Clan shall be thoroughly accounted for!
Such torment is nothing less than multiple violations of his flesh and soul, enticing the Fighting God and Star God through his suffering.
The Fighting God has returned, but the Star God…
The Star God likely hasn’t left, and has probably decided to stay permanently.
"God of Martial Arts, what’s wrong?"
The Star God noticed Su Wen’s unusual behavior and turned to ask.
Could there be another problem?
