"Am I dreaming?! Pinch me!"

"Good heavens! Those foreign gods, even with a combined attack, still had many beasts left unkilled, causing massive casualties. We only sent one person and they wiped them all out! That's the difference! That's the difference!!!"

"My mom asked me why I was kneeling while watching the live stream..."

Online, bullet comments finally reappeared and flooded the screen at an explosive speed.

But at this moment, no one was paying attention to the comments anymore.

All eyes were fixed on the white figure in the sky.

He remained suspended in mid-air, his right hand lowered and placed behind his back, as if the world-destroying blow he had just delivered was merely a casual dusting off his sleeve.

The thunderclouds have not yet dispersed.

The purple lightning still swirled in the clouds, but it had become much gentler, circling around him like a tamed pet.

Shangguan Yun closed his eyes slightly.

He is feeling.

Feel the surge of power within your body.

It was as if a broadcaster was ringing in his mind, and his "experience points" were gradually increasing.

Until a certain critical value is broken—

Mid-stage of Rank 8!

He killed nearly ten thousand fifth-tier beasts, including those above the neon sky, which directly broke through his cultivation level from the early stage of the eighth tier to the middle stage of the eighth tier!

This speed is like riding a rocket; even cultivators from ancient times could not imagine such a breakthrough speed.

Of course, the speed at which other seventh-level cultivators broke through to the seventh level was unimaginably fast even in ancient times.

In ancient times, it took cultivators decades or even centuries to break through a single realm. Those who could break through to the seventh rank were extremely rare. A single seventh-rank cultivator was enough to dominate an entire era, and it was unthinkable for an era to have more than a dozen seventh-rank cultivators.

Not long after Shangguan Yun wiped out the group of fifth-tier alien beasts, he received a message from his father requesting assistance from other continents.

Those seventh-tier powerhouses from those continents aren't stupid, and there's no deep-seated hatred between the continents in this world.

Therefore, they felt not only envy and longing for the addition of an eighth-tier powerhouse to the world's breakthrough, but also a sense of reassurance.

If the sky falls, there's always someone tall enough to hold it up.

Originally, these seventh-tier powerhouses were considered "tall," but now that Shangguan Yun, an eighth-tier being, has appeared, the "tall" capable of dealing with the apocalypse has naturally become the other party.

As for the assessment and division of power in the post-apocalyptic world, that's something to consider after we've survived this catastrophe.

If we can't even get through this crisis, what kind of bullshit interests are we talking about?

Upon receiving the message, Shangguan Yun did not hesitate and immediately tore through space to arrive at a continent in the north.

There is only one seventh-tier early-stage powerhouse on this continent, and he has no way to annihilate the densely packed fifth-tier alien beasts.

Fortunately, the northern continent is sparsely populated, and humanity had made various preparations long before the crisis broke out.

The fifth-tier beast had barely landed and hadn't even had a chance to unleash its destructive power when it was immediately pinned down by Shangguan Yun, who had torn through space to arrive.

This time, before he could even let out a roar, he was crushed into dust by Shangguan Yun.

The early seventh-tier guy who was still launching an attack stood there dumbfounded as the strange beast vanished from his sight.

He then became so excited that he started gesturing wildly, saying something incoherently.

They were probably all expressing admiration for Shangguan Yun's strength and gratitude.

Shangguan Yun did not linger and tore through space again to travel to other places.

Although with his eighth-level power, he could easily annihilate all the alien beasts in the world without moving from his spot in Shenzhou.

But he didn't do that; instead, he chose to tear through space and travel to each location to kill people at specific points.

Of course, this was done to show off in front of others.

Since he's not hiding anything anymore, he's naturally going to put on a big show.

He was quite pleased to hear the cheers of the local leaders and people wherever he went.

At his speed, even if he cleaned them one by one, it would only take him a blink of an eye.

Soon, all the fifth-tier beasts had been cleared out.

The world fell into a brief period of absolute silence.

It was as if the whole world was digesting this unbelievable fact: that catastrophe that could have destroyed human civilization had just ended...?

No, it's not "the end".

It means "ended".

Such a terrifying beast was wiped out by one person in just a few minutes in a manner that was almost miraculous.

"We...we won?!"

In Tokyo Bay, a rescue worker, soaked to the bone, slumped on the ruins, gazing at the sun shining through the sky again, and muttering to himself.

The next second, he jumped up and roared with all his might, "We won! We won—!!!"

The roar was like a spark igniting a fuse.

"We won!!!"

"All the monsters are dead! All of them are dead!!!"

"A god! A god saved us!!!"

Cheers, cries, and hysterical screams erupted from every corner of the world at that moment, creating a deafening roar.

That wasn't just ordinary cheering.

It was the ecstasy of surviving a catastrophe, the catharsis of escaping from a desperate situation, and the purest and most fervent worship of that white-clad figure!

Although the cracks in the sky are still there, people are clearly no longer afraid; they believe that there are gods in their world too!

It possesses a god who can easily slay countless strange beasts!

It can be said that the actions of the seventh-tier expert and the invincible strength displayed by Shangguan Yun have shocked everyone and freed them from the fear of death.

The internet has completely exploded.

At this moment, the servers of all social media platforms, video websites, and news media are experiencing an unprecedented impact.

[God! The true God has descended!]

[I knew there were hidden masters in our world! This is a lifesaver!]

[Where are those who previously questioned why Shenzhou didn't intervene? Come out and show yourselves! It's not that they didn't intervene; it's that when they did, they ended the game immediately!]

From east to west, from north to south, one person slaughters his way across the entire planet! What an epic storyline!

My mom asked me why I was kneeling and licking the screen...

Stop praising those in front, they're true gods, praising them is blasphemy!

So who exactly is that big shot?! I need all his information in three seconds!

[They seem to be... from China?]

[Nonsense! Didn't you see that the first place he appeared was over China?]

[China is awesome! Eastern cultivation civilization is amazing!]

Amidst these celebratory comments, some... slightly different styles began to emerge.

Chapter 344 Shangguan Che: I'm Not Envious at All

Those were netizens from Japan, especially the Tokyo area.

This comment section seems to be full of familiar faces, all students from Shuchiin Academy.

Wait a minute... why does that guy look so familiar?

You think so too?! I feel like I've seen this somewhere before...

[White casual clothes, black tousled hair, that nonchalant air...]

[Holy shit! Holy shit holy shit holy shit!!!]

【Isn't that our student council president?!】

[Attached Image] [Attached Image]

[Compare the live stream screenshots... Holy crap! It really is the same person!!!]

[The student council president is a savior of the world?! What kind of novel plot is this?!]

This explosive news spread like wildfire.

Within minutes, hashtags such as #StudentCouncilPresidentofShujiwon# and #ShangguanYunSavesTheWorld# surged to the top of the trending lists on major social media platforms around the world at an alarming speed, each followed by a bright red "hot" sign.

At this moment, some student groups at Shuchiin Academy were completely in an uproar.

Apart from a few students who knew Shangguan Yun's identity, the other students went completely mad.

If Shangguan Yun were to open his phone now, he would see him being frantically tagged in various group chats.

The campus forums were all buzzing, and even the video of him and Kaguya holding hands was pinned to the top of the forums.

Upon seeing this news, some members of the Shinomiya family excitedly considered how to leverage the other party's power to advance further, but were sternly stopped by Shinomiya Gan'an.

She explicitly forbade any family member from inquiring about the other party in any way or by any means, and forbade anyone in the family from contacting the other party through Kaguya.

Pretend you know nothing about this matter, and wait for the Shangguan family to make arrangements later.

Ki Karen and Erika Konata hid in the same safe zone that had been built.

Upon seeing the information online, Ji Jialian excitedly grabbed Erika's arm.

Ki Karen's eyes burned with a fierce creative fire: "Materials...this is the perfect material...the true god and the student council president...Kaguya-san and the savior...ahhh, inspiration is overflowing!!!"

If the timing and occasion weren't so inappropriate, she would have immediately pulled out her notebook and drawing tools to add all the inspiration that kept flowing into her mind to "Kaguya x The President's Untold Story".

“Lord Kaguya…Lord Kaguya truly deserves to be the most perfect person in the world…” Erika Konarai clasped her hands together, her face radiating an almost devout glow of happiness, “Only a true god is worthy of Lord Kaguya’s radiance…”

Shenzhou, the Shangguan family.

The projection screen in the lobby has been turned off.

But everyone was still immersed in the shocking scene that had just stunned the world.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's parents stared, speechless for a long time. Eriri's father, however, was oblivious to the fact that the teacup in his hand had gone cold.

"Daughter...you can do it..." Xia's father swallowed and looked at his daughter.

He never doubted it before, but now he really doubts whether his daughter can attract the attention of that kind of being.

Kasumigaoka Utaha took a deep breath, her eyes flashing with a complex light: "I will not give up."

“No wonder…no wonder he was able to bring us here so easily…” Eriri’s mother murmured.

Thor puffed out his chest, looking smug: "I told you the clouds are the most powerful!"

Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai exchanged a glance, both seeing an indescribable pride in each other's eyes.

Those were the people they chose.

"Hahaha! Awesome! My son has the potential to be invincible!"

Shangguan Che laughed heartily, his eyes filled with pride and smugness.

What could make a father happier than his son being an eighth-tier powerhouse, the strongest in the world?

Murong Xue's eyes were also gentle, but as a mother, she was more worried about whether her son was hurt.

Although the other party seemed to kill the alien beast with great ease, she still couldn't help but worry about it.

Fortunately, Shangguan Yun didn't keep anyone waiting long.

"Om."

The space rippled slightly.

A white figure appeared silently in the center of the hall.

It was Shangguan Yun.
