Righteous Verdict Court

In the very beginning, the Silver King was unable to determine exactly how close his connection with Mockery was, so naturally, he could only mildly rope him in; but when the Silver King realized that he couldn't easily trigger the Calamity of Mockery, he turned him into a thorough tool...

He wanted to both execute the reputation of the Calamity of Mockery, and also wanted the Combat Power after the Calamity of Mockery went berserk. He wanted to squeeze dry every drop of value on his body, maximizing his benefits!

This was the Realm invasion plan that the Silver King had directed and acted out himself, planning for a long time!

Thinking about it this way, perhaps the Silver King intentionally allowed him to escape the core area of Wuji, waiting until he shook off all the members of the Dusk Society, and then used Huang He to drag him here... From the very beginning, he intended to execute him in public in this Righteous Verdict Court and liberate the Calamity of Mockery!

Huang He was stunned for a long time. He seemingly didn't expect that Chen Ling could actually deduce to this step, and the smile at the corner of his mouth gradually faded.

"You are indeed very smart, no wonder you could play everyone around in circles... It's a pity, even if you have seen through the King's layout now, it's already too late..."

"But he is a bit too confident." Chen Ling spoke calmly. "He actually feels that he can control the Calamity of Mockery in disguised form? If I really die, the Calamity of Mockery will be liberated, and the first to be destroyed will be the Wuji Domain."

Huang He leisurely glanced at him, seemingly not surprised by Chen Ling's view, only smiling without speaking.

"No... You originally planned to borrow the hand of the Calamity of Mockery to destroy the Wuji Domain??

Right... The residents of the Wuji Domain have already been tortured by you for too long. If they live, and if they connect with other Realms in the future, it will inevitably set off another wave of public opinion detrimental to you... But if those civilians all die at the hands of the Calamity of Mockery, everything that has happened in the Wuji Domain up until now will be left for you to whitewash as you please.

From the very beginning, you intended to sacrifice that group of civilians who suffered from Nuclear Radiation and didn't have long to live, at the cost of the Wuji Domain, in exchange for other Realms with populations of millions... In this way, everyone's hatred will be drawn away by the Calamity of Mockery. Everyone will subconsciously think that the tragedy of the Wuji Domain was caused by the Calamity of Mockery, while you are the 'heroes' who were the first to stand up and demand the execution of the Calamity of Mockery... In a disguised form, you will have arrived at the same battlefront as the public of the other Realms."

The transmission of news between Realms was originally closed off, especially for Ordinary Persons...

They wouldn't know exactly what happened inside the Wuji Domain. In the eyes of the majority of people, they only knew "Fire-Stealers occupied the Wuji Domain", "Fire-Stealers captured the World-Ending Calamity Fusionist", "Fire-Stealers pronounced the World-Ending Calamity guilty and fired the first shot in humanity's counterattack against Calamities", "Calamity of Mockery went berserk and destroyed the Wuji Domain", "Calamity of Mockery turned around and began attacking their homelands"...

As for who would resolve the Calamity of Mockery after it broke into the Five Great Realms, that would be a headache for the Human Domains. Perhaps during this process, more than one Demigod or Nine Monarchs would be sacrificed, but this was exactly what the Silver King wanted.

Huang He didn't intend to continue answering Chen Ling's conjecture. He casually sat in a seat in the first row and waved his hand.

"Then... next, the court is formally in session..."

In court, The Judge standing opposite Chen Ling flipped open the papers in his hands, appearing slightly nervous.

Just as Chen Ling said, this court was merely a makeshift troupe temporarily set up by the Silver King. The reporters might all be real reporters, but The Judge and others were all found from previous civil courts...

These people usually only handled economic disputes and marriage disputes among the residents of the Wuji Domain. But now, they were asked to convict a World-Ending Calamity?

Who standing here wouldn't be nervous?

The Judge didn't even dare to look directly into Chen Ling's eyes, only reading to himself with a trembling voice:

"World-Ending Calamity Fusionist, Chen Ling... active in the Realms under a human identity, but secretly provided convenience for Calamity Invasions and destroyed humanity's interests. After discussion by this Righteous Verdict Court, the charges are listed as follows:

First, deliberately destroying the Domain of the Nine Monarchs protecting the Aurora Domain, guiding the Calamities of the Forbidden Sea to swallow the Aurora Domain, and ultimately slaughtering millions of people;

Second, colluding with the Calamities of the Forbidden Sea and the Dusk Society, assassinating the Lord of the Aurora, and detonating Explosives to destroy the Aurora Domain and the Aurora Base;

Third, colluding with the Scarlet Heaven Cult, summoning the World-Ending Calamity 'Cessation Calamity' in the Red Dust Domain, with the intent to destroy the Red Dust Domain and obliterate the millions of people within it;

Fourth, disguising himself under the Path of the Actor, infiltrating the Tianshu Domain, and secretly destroying the Celestial Star Positions to plunder Human Luck;

Fifth..."

The Judge listed about eight or nine charges, big and small. From destroying Realms to murdering high-ranking Fire-Stealers, basically every label that could be thought of was pinned on him, turning Chen Ling into an out-and-out "heinous villain".

Moreover, looking at the first few charges, it was either destroying Realms or colluding with World-Ending Calamities. Anyone hearing this string of verdicts would view Chen Ling as a public enemy of humanity.

Chen Ling listened to the charges one by one, and the further it went, the more ridiculous he found it.

But the reporters below were taking photos while frantically recording, seemingly deeply afraid of missing any detail. The pens, paper, and photos in their hands at this moment would turn into reports a few hours later, sweeping across all Human Domains at the fastest speed.

After reading all the charges, The Judge swallowed nervously. He raised his head to look at Chen Ling,

"... Defendant Chen Ling, do you plead guilty?"

Chen Ling just stared at him blankly like this. Behind his indifferent pupils was a terrifying sense of oppression that almost made The Judge suffocate.

If it was Chen Ling from a day ago, who had completely lost hope in life, he might have been too lazy to answer this question at this time. Pleading guilty or not to these charges was meaningless to him... But now, Chen Ling was no longer that numb Chen Ling.

Wearing the Great Crimson Theatrical Robe, he stood in the Defendant's dock in the center of the court. Slightly raising his head, he looked down upon everything here with a gaze full of disdain and mockery:

"I, do not plead guilty."

The expression on The Judge's face abruptly stiffened.

Sweat seeped from his palms, and he looked somewhat helplessly toward Huang He below.

And Huang He was not surprised by Chen Ling's answer. He coldly looked at the disdain in Chen Ling's eyes, just as he was about to speak and say something, the Great Crimson Theatrical Robe in the Defendant's dock moved ahead of him!

Chen Ling instantly flipped over the Defendant's dock, stepping on the Cloud Steps and crossing mid-air with astonishing speed. At the same time, a clear Opera Vocals reverberated within the court!

"What is a foreign king or a clown worth discussing, with one sword I can block a million soldiers!!!"

Sleeve-Hand Pushing Heaven was activated, and Chen Ling's large red sleeves brushed past the nothingness. A killing intent sufficient to shatter the entire court compressed into the size of a nothingness sword blade, surging toward Huang He!

No one expected that Chen Ling would suddenly violently rise up at this time. Terrified shouts came from everywhere in the court. Both reporters and The Judge panicked, subconsciously standing up to flee toward the surroundings...
