Chapter 99: Smiling in the Face of the Gods

Immortal Realm – Lucian's Hidden Sect

Lucian sat comfortably on his throne inside the God Slayer Sect's inner sanctum, sipping a fine immortal-grade wine.

The world was in chaos. The Supreme Gods had just issued a universal execution order against him.

Yet, instead of fear, a wide grin spread across his face.

He leaned back, fingers tapping against the armrest, his mind filled with possibilities.

"So… the gods want me dead? Hah, how predictable."

The Villain System suddenly flashed with notifications.

Lucian's laughter echoed throughout the chamber.

"If the gods step into my domain… how many rewards will I get?"

The system's shop interface opened, revealing new treasures, artifacts, and cultivation techniques available for purchase.

Even a divine bloodline upgrade was now within his reach.

"They think they're hunting me, but in truth… they're just offering me more power."

Lucian stood up, his aura distorting space itself.

He had already defeated gods before, but now?

Now, he would slaughter them for sport.

Meanwhile, in the Celestial World…

The Supreme Gods gathered, unaware that their "target" was already planning their downfall.

But soon, they would realize…

They weren't hunting Lucian.

Lucian was hunting them.
