I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2338 The storm is coming
The following period was arguably the most leisurely time Liu Jun had experienced since arriving in the God Realm.

Every day, the memorials are processed by AI No. 1, a super AI that is more efficient than hundreds of cabinet ministers.

Liu Jun, on the other hand, slept until late morning every day, had breakfast under the respectful gaze of his servants, and then began his leisurely daily routine.

He loved going to the back garden of the shrine to play with the adorable kittens. These little guys were usually quite aloof, but they were especially affectionate towards Liu Jun.

And so, Cat Brother naturally ended up living near the Temple of Gods. He usually spent his time looking after the kittens, and occasionally helped Liu Jun with some troubles.

Cat Brother has now fused very well with the body of the God Lord. Although he dares not say that he has reached the strength of the God Lord at his peak, he is invincible below the God Lord realm.

After lunch, Liu Jun would go fishing in a lake here, and occasionally stroll alone in the garden of the shrine.

That leisurely demeanor would have been the epitome of a tyrannical ruler in ancient times. But the current Divine Lord's Palace is no longer the strictly hierarchical place it once was. Moreover, he is the supreme ruler of the five divine realms and the current Divine Lord, so no one dares to say anything—at least not openly.

Behind the scenes, many veteran officials naturally harbored resentment towards his laziness. In particular, those veteran officials who had experienced the changes felt that this new ruler was too capricious. But whenever they wanted to offer their advice, they would always "coincidentally" be entangled in various affairs arranged by Chu Liuying.

Liu Jun was aware of all this, but he didn't care. What he was most concerned about now was the progress of the city construction used to set up the formation.

Fortunately, they had the help of the demigods. These special races, existing between gods and humans, possessed both the power of the gods and the creativity of humans. With their assistance, the project, which would have taken decades, was expected to be completed within five years.

That evening, Liu Jun stood on the newly built east city wall, watching the array light gradually illuminate in the distance, and said to the AI ​​No. 1 beside him, "When all the cities are built and the array is activated, it will be a spectacular sight, won't it?"

“According to calculations, the energy fluctuations generated will be enough to be observed by other small worlds, and may even have an impact,” AI-Powered One replied. “Are you really sure you want to do this?”

Liu Jun gazed at the gradually darkening sky, where stars in the divine realm began to light up one by one: "Once the pieces are placed, there's no going back, is there?"

. . . .

Time passed quickly, and in the fifth year after Liu Jun became the true God Lord, all the cities were completed, and everything was proceeding according to Liu Jun's plan without any unexpected incidents.

"How strange, what exactly does this incarnation of the Heavenly Dao mean?" Liu Jun stood on the highest tower of the Heavenly Lord's Palace, his brows furrowed, looking at the vast and boundless sky with some confusion.

Normally, shouldn't this avatar of the Heavenly Dao have come to eliminate him the moment it sensed his existence as an "anomaly"? But why has it remained silent for so long without making a sound? Could it be that it has some reservations?
Liu Jun was filled with doubts. He turned to look at the AI ​​No. 1 beside him, hoping that this omniscient and omnipotent intelligent life could give him an answer.

The AI-powered system seemed to see through his thoughts and calmly analyzed, "This shows that it still has to follow the rules of Heaven and cannot directly attack you. After all, although the incarnation of Heaven is the agent of the will of Heaven, it cannot go too far against the rules of Heaven itself."

Hearing this, Liu Jun's brows relaxed slightly, but then he frowned again: "If I never violate the rules of Heaven, wouldn't it be unable to do anything to me for the rest of my life?"

Upon hearing this, AI-powered No. 1 immediately projected a huge eye roll.

"How could that be! The purpose of the Heavenly Dao's incarnation is to maintain the order and balance of the Heavenly Dao. As long as you continue to cultivate and your strength increases day by day, you will eventually touch the bottom line of the Heavenly Dao's rules. At that time, as long as you break through to the God Lord Realm, it will definitely take action when the tribulation of lightning descends, trying every means to kill you, and it may even come in person." AI-powered number one continued.

"Then I just won't break through to the God Lord Realm, right?" Liu Jun said jokingly.

A relaxed smile graced his face, as if he wanted to use these lighthearted words to dispel the heavy pressure in his heart.

"You've spent years and put in so much effort to fight against the heavens, how come you're chickening out now? How about I make you a little white flag, and see if you can surrender to the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao?" The voice of AI Number One carried a hint of teasing.

Of course, it was joking, because it knew Liu Jun well and knew that although he was often cowardly, he had never backed down in crucial moments.

Liu Jun grinned, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes: "I was just joking. Whether you're a coward or not, you're going to get stabbed anyway. But to be honest, these past five years have indeed been tough."

During these five years, although things seemed calm on the surface and nothing unexpected happened, Liu Jun's heart was always on edge.

He could clearly sense that the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao was secretly targeting him. Whenever the night was deep and quiet, the feeling of being watched and schemed against followed him like a shadow, making it difficult for him to fall asleep.

Tiger Brother, Yao Guangxiao, and others have all broken through their cultivation levels in recent years, which should have been a cause for celebration. However, their path to overcoming tribulation has been exceptionally difficult.

Each tribulation of lightning represents the highest level of difficulty for that realm, as if the very embodiment of the Heavenly Dao is determined to kill them. If it weren't for their incredible luck, extraordinary perseverance, and vitality, their graves would probably be overgrown with weeds by now.

Those who had no connection with Liu Jun, however, seemed to have an easier time during their tribulations. Although their lightning tribulations were also quite powerful, they were much more normal in comparison, without any deliberate targeting.

Once or twice might not matter, but if it happens repeatedly, you'll find that the incarnation of Heaven is actually forcing Liu Jun to take action.

If Liu Jun were to interfere with someone else's tribulation, the Heavenly Dao avatar could eliminate him within the rules of the Heavenly Dao. This obvious targeting forced Liu Jun to be on high alert, always prepared for a desperate battle.

"Damn it, I'm all ready, come on," Liu Jun muttered to himself, a determined glint in his eyes.

He planned for so long and put in so much effort, all because he wouldn't give up. Because he had his own beliefs and pursuits; he wanted to keep going for himself and for those who cared about him, to prevent the ship from sinking.

The AI-powered system seemed to sense the change in Liu Jun's heart. After a moment of silence, it said, "Liu Jun, I know you're not afraid of death, but you must proceed with caution. The power of the Heavenly Dao Incarnation is beyond our comprehension. Once this situation is completely broken, we'll have to face it directly, with no room for retreat."

Liu Jun nodded and smiled calmly: "Don't worry, we'll deal with whatever comes our way. Who's afraid of who?"

"Boom!"

Just then, a thunderbolt suddenly ripped across the sky, as if to tear the entire firmament apart. In the blink of an eye, the sky turned pitch black, with dense clouds, lightning, and thunder, as if the end of the world had arrived.

"Holy crap! What's going on? Who's undergoing tribulation here? Are they crazy?!" Liu Jun suddenly raised his head, staring at the sky in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Ever since the incident where Tiger Brother, Yao Guangxiao, and others were targeted by the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao during their tribulations, he had become wary and warned all those who were on good terms with him that it was best not to attempt tribulations in the next few years.

After all, not everyone can survive a tribulation of lightning far exceeding their own level.

However, what was the meaning of this sudden tribulation? Who was so bold as to undergo tribulation at this time, knowing that the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao was secretly watching him and all those he was close to? Wasn't this just blatantly courting death?
"Whoosh!"

Just then, a figure suddenly rushed out from a side hall, moving with lightning speed, and instantly flew into the distance.

At the same time, the aura of the tribulation lightning seemed to lock onto this figure, and the enormous thundercloud even began to slowly follow the figure, as if it wanted to completely devour it.

"It's Thor!" Liu Jun suddenly slapped his forehead, a look of sudden realization flashing in his eyes.

Since being forced back by him with a thunder talisman, the Western war god Thor has become much more obedient and has been quite quiet, without causing any more trouble.

Moreover, as time went on, Thor gradually began to integrate into their circle, and his relationship with everyone became increasingly harmonious.

However, what was going on? Liu Jun was filled with doubts. He clearly remembered that Thor was already at the God Lord Realm, and there had been no signs of him breaking through his realm recently. How could he suddenly attract a tribulation of lightning?

If this tribulation wasn't triggered by Thor's breakthrough, then what was the reason?

Liu Jun's mind was racing, but he couldn't come up with an answer for the time being. He could only watch helplessly as Thor flew further and further away, pursued by the lightning tribulation, with the enormous thundercloud following closely behind, as if determined to carry this disaster through to the very end.

At this moment, Liu Jun was not too worried that Thor would be targeted by the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao because of his connection with him.

After all, Saul was a friend he had only met in recent years, and could not be considered a close friend.

In Liu Jun's mind, there was a clear boundary: even if Saul were to encounter some misfortune, he would not rashly risk his own life to save him. This was not indifference, but a rational and realistic consideration.

However, despite his reluctance to rescue him, Liu Jun still felt a tinge of concern. He decided to follow Thor, at least to ensure that the guy wouldn't do anything too impulsive.

So, he flashed away like a ghost, quickly chasing after the direction Thor had fled.

Liu Jun wasn't actually too worried that Thor would get lost. After all, there was such a large thundercloud hovering above Thor's head, and the immense pressure and destructive aura contained within it were palpable even to a blind man. As long as he followed the thundercloud, he would definitely find Thor.

But what Liu Jun was really worried about was that Thor, under the threat of the lightning tribulation, would lose his mind and do something irrational, such as rushing into a densely populated area.

It is important to know that when people are in a state of extreme fear, they often do unexpected things, and these actions often lead to unpredictable consequences.

Sure enough, what he feared most came to pass. Liu Jun watched helplessly as Thor, like a frightened rabbit, fled in panic towards the direction of the Array Sect.

Although the Array Sect is a sect famous throughout the entire God Realm, Liu Jun is very familiar with this place and knows that the Array Sect is strong, but definitely not strong enough to withstand the tribulation of a God Lord Realm expert.

"Sol! Don't run that way!" Liu Jun's heart tightened, and he immediately shouted.

Thor, who was frightened by the lightning tribulation, was like a startled rabbit. How could he possibly hear Liu Jun's shouts?
Liu Jun was extremely anxious. If Thor really rushed to the Array Sect, the tribulation of the Divine Lord Realm would definitely cover the entire Array Sect.

Whether Thor can withstand it is unknown, but the Array Sect will be completely finished, including the Array Sect's patriarch, who will not be able to withstand this level of tribulation.
