Chapter 1346: Chapter 1331 Reciprocity Chapter 1346: Chapter 1331 Reciprocity “Young Deity, you have rejected me once more.”

Wielding the Power that could already evolve a sun within a Plane, the Deity gazed at the spirited being who stood unyielding before Him and laughed,
“Then, are you ready to face the test?”

“I await your challenge at any time!” Muria replied.

“So, let the test begin!”

…

In the sky above, where the sun reached its zenith, the purest solar flames churned, throwing up sunspots visible even from the earth below. These wild flames coalesced into a massive Long Spear, its tip aimed directly at the ten Floating Cities suspended beneath the blue sky of the Earth Star Domain.

It was a terrifying scene, for the spear that seemed to grow from the sun itself was too enormous to fathom. It was hard to imagine the catastrophic impact it would have upon the earth when this Solar Spear finally fell.

“Is this the power a Deity holds when not bound by the World Laws?”

Inside the central Divine Palace of the Floating City, Muria stood, the rotating Luo Tian Mirror at his back, and looked up. His gaze penetrated the dome of the Divine Palace and locked onto the Solar Spear above, already aimed at him.

This was a force easily capable of destroying worlds—well, not the grand world—but should such an assault befall the earth, to obliterate all Creatures within this Domain and turn the entire Domain to a wasteland of Lava would be trivial.

But this world-ending attack was aimed solely at him, unavoidable. This was Muria’s most immediate realization; he had a feeling that even if he managed to escape this strike through some special means, a second would follow soon after.

This was the test the Ancient Deity had spoken of, where one must show the strength to confront it. Lacking such might, if one only hid and evaded, the only fate would be for the Ancient Deity Himself to strike him down.

Fortunately, although the attack was formidable, Muria felt he could bear it with relative ease. Thus, under the watchful eyes of the Deities from various Domains, he stood with the Divine Wheel at his back amidst a forest and rose into the Sky to face the Solar Spear, already plummeting down.

As the Solar Spear, whose length now surpassed a hundred thousand Meters, descended, the sky turned a deep crimson. The floating White Clouds began to evaporate in swathes, and the temperature between heaven and earth rapidly soared to an alarmingly perceptible degree.

On the ground below, the dense forests shifted from lush green to withered yellow. Rivers and lakes quickly began to steam, and the seas started to boil. Moment by moment, vast numbers of life perished amidst these tumultuous changes.

With the temperature rising too rapidly for ordinary Creatures to endure, Muria watched the lamenting earth. Then, he stepped into the void and moved upwards, meeting the sharp Solar Spear head-on.

During his ascent, his body expanded continuously, eventually taking on the kilometer-sized Avatar forged upon his successful ascension to deityhood. Then, to the astonishment of all the Gods watching, this unfamiliar Deity thrust his… Fist?? Into the sky at the Solar Spear.

In the midst of the Gods, whose minds were flooding with question marks, an explosion that plunged the entire world into brightness erupted in the sky, and a vast ring of Flames, countless Meters in size, spread out rapidly, engulfing the entire sky of the Earth Star Domain. Some even burst through Space Gates into the skies of other Domains.

The aftereffects of this collision between two Divine Powers were still deadly to mortal things. Even dulled by multiple barriers, to the vast majority of living beings, they were no less than a natural disaster.

But the gazes of the deities were not fixed upon those mortal things that merely required some time to be restored. Instead, all their attention converged toward the sky, which had transformed into a flaming inferno, and upon the deity who still stood defiantly amidst the heavens.

…
“A very powerful divine body indeed, such strength is not typical for a deity of regular faith. Your origins seem to be quite unique, but this is what I’d expect,” praised the solar deity, acting as if nothing had happened—even after unleashing a powerful move against Muria during the Pantheon Meeting using his authority.

At that moment, Muria stared at this avatar of powerful divine force, pondering whether to kill his avatar right there and reclaim the pride that was unfairly wounded by the spear.

Although most of the observing deities looked upon him with admiration, surprise, and even a hint of awe, Muria still felt he had been offended.

Moreover, receiving a blow without retaliating was not his style; it wasn’t that he couldn’t overcome his opponent… True, he couldn’t, but that was only temporary, and the opponent couldn’t really do anything to him—this much had been confirmed.

However, having confirmed that he could defend himself and already having taken one punch, it was only right to return the favor; he must not let other deities think he, Muria, could be easily bullied.

“Young deity, you have passed my test. I promise you that I will not raise my hand against you until the current chaos of the world is resolved,” declared the ancient divine spirit from high above, his arrogant demeanor provoking the younger deity to stand up in dissatisfaction.

“Now, it’s my turn.”

“What do you intend to do to me?” The solar deity, also merely an avatar, looked at Muria with features that had formed from pure divine power on his face, expressing a look of keen interest.

“What goes around, comes around.”

Muria reached out, and a surge of fiery solar divine power swirled, coalescing into a crimson divine sword in his hand.

“Hahaha, what do you plan to do with that? Attack me with solar divine power? Have you forgotten my…”

Before the laughing avatar of the solar deity could finish speaking, the sword in Muria’s hand transformed into a crimson rainbow, striking against the supporter of the meeting, and then, as if nothing notable had happened, the solar divine power-made sword slowly penetrated the avatar of the solar deity.

Because the Solar Divine Authority he wielded was overwhelmingly superior, Muria’s divine power was actually absorbed by the opponent, making his attack seem like a farce rather than revenge, but that was not the case…

Grim divine power burst forth within the avatar of the solar deity, that touch of darkness glaringly vivid against the blazing red of the sun, and with the emergence of the color of withering all things, the scent of death began to spread, causing many present deities to instinctively step back, widening the distance.

“Death God Power!” came an exclamation filled with either nostalgia or astonishment, and then—as if on cue—the avatar of the solar deity crumbled…
