At this moment, Xiao Feng felt as if his entire existence was being seen through, as though someone was stripping him layer by layer and learning everything about his existence.

While Xiao Feng continued to have this feeling, far away from his location, a divine entity was stirred in a separate realm.

Fragments of Xiao Feng’s memories kept drifting around him, revealing everything about his past, from his birth to his first steps, and his first words to his transmigration.

Although lazy at first, the entity’s expression finally changed when it saw the memories of his transition, it saw something, something really subtle yet undeniably present, something familiar.

When the divine entity focused, it confirmed what it felt was divine interference.

‘A soul from beyond the great void, and there are signs of divine interference as well,’ the entity thought, ‘yet, no god shall act in another’s domain with severe consequences.’

‘The God of the Earth Realm… But why?’ Its thought lingered about it for a few moments before settling on the inevitable conclusion.

The Earth God had broken a law. Now, it was up to the council to decide his fate.

Meanwhile, in a distant divine realm, the Council of Gods convened.

The twenty-four high gods sat on their seats, looking down upon everything, even the other gods and goddesses, their eyes revealing a myriad of emotions.

Some showed calculated coldness, some empathy and kindness, while others remained distant and unfettered.

No matter the emotions shown in their eyes, one thing remained absolute, and that was their power, each one of the twenty-four high gods ruled over something fundamental for reality to exist.

Each one of them held the power to destroy everything from its core, which is why the council of gods was established—to maintain order and to keep the gods and goddesses in check.

At this moment, the God of Order stood up from his seat and spoke in a majestic voice.

“Today’s council has been convened because the God of the Earth Realm has broken the following divine laws,” The God of Order stopped for a few moments, his sharp eyes looking at every entity present.

“Interfering with the mortal realm by causing the death of a mortal.”

“Breaking the law of not interfering in any other God realm.”

"Forcefully stripping a mortal of their chance for reincarnation by transmigrating them into another realm."

“Because of past incidents, we already know the consequences of the God of the Earth Realm's actions. For those of you born after these incidents, the simple answer is a Divine War in which gods fell left and right.”

As the God of Order finished speaking, murmurs rippled through the audience.

The gods and goddesses murmured in low voices, with some older gods teaching the younger ones about the history of the council and the establishment of the laws.

“Before the council was established, gods were able to interfere in each other’s domain at will, and this led to dissatisfaction and dispute among some gods.” An older goddess said in a gentle voice.

“These disputes, though small, gradually built up to the level of a war of the worlds,” she continued “And as you know, when a god loses the thing it is born from, it dies, and the war of the worlds became the catalyst for the destruction of a lot of worlds.”

“At first, it was still manageable, but soon the conflict spiraled out of control, and almost all of the gods began participating in the wars, millions of worlds were destroyed,” another god, taking the form of a mysterious entity, continued.

“When the destruction spiraled beyond control, the twenty-four high gods decided to act, creating the divine laws that forbid gods from acting on their own will," it spoke in a strange voice. "They also shaped the great void to act as a barrier between the worlds.”

“But why did they act? Weren’t they already the strongest? Why would they care about those puny mortals?” a young god, taking the form of a child, asked, clearly confused.

“You do know that us gods get our power from the prosperity of the things we are born from, Right?” Another God who took the form of a horse asked, to which, the younger god nodded in response.

“It is the same with the high gods, but during the war of the infinite void, so much destruction happened that it started to affect even them,” The horse-shaped god said with a serious expression.

“Silence.”

Just as another younger god was about to ask a question, the God of Order, seeing that the murmurs continued to grow instead of stopping, spoke in a heavy voice.

“Now we will bring the God of the Earth Realm to be judged by the council members.”

As the God of Order’s words fell, a burly man with brown skin and golden hair was dragged into the chamber by two beings who, although similar to the gods, had their clear distinctions which signified their status as a separate species.

"The God of the Earth Realm had a chiseled jaw, blue eyes, and a muscular body, making him look like a model from modern Earth. But at that moment, his body was heavily chained, his divine form drenched in sweat—clearly deprived of the divine power that once flowed through it."

But, his deep blue eyes still held the ruthlessness befitting his status as a god. Yet, if one were to look deeply into them, one would find a carefully hidden trace of tiredness.

As he tried to look up at the high gods sitting on their seats. The divine patterns on the chains started to glow in an ethereal light and the chains started to contract with several clanks but, the God of the Earth Realm still looked up, directly locking eyes with the God of Order.

“Now the trail of the God of the Earth Realm will begin,” The God of Order spoke again, as he looked directly into the eyes of the God of the Earth Realm.
