My Talent Skill Mutated

”Alright, let’s settle it like this for now. As for the specifics, we’ll wait for the Divine Hall’s response.”

Feng Miaotian said, looking at the group.

The others nodded.

Chen Yu said nothing and followed suit, standing up.

Just as they were about to leave the main hall, Feng Miaotian and Chen Yu suddenly snapped their heads up, looking at the sky outside.

Zhuang Bo’yi and the others also seemed to sense something, their gazes turning in unison toward the outside of the hall.

”This is... a True God from the Celestial Race. Oh no, the Life Court is here.”

Feng Miaotian’s expression hardened.

The faces of Zhuang Bo’yi and the others turned grim as well.

There was no need to guess why the Life Court had come; it was almost certainly for Chen Yu.

What they had feared was finally happening.

’Four True Gods. Looks like there’s a Tier Three True God and a Tier Two True God among them. Their foundation is truly impressive.’

Through his powerful perception, Chen Yu saw four figures appear.

He quickly gauged their cultivation levels with his senses.

”Chen Yu, they must be here for you. You should stay put. We’ll go out and meet them,” Nie Tian said.

Feng Miaotian spoke up as well, ”Chen Yu, stay out of this. As long as you don’t go outside, it should be fine.”

Listening to them, Chen Yu remained calm. ”It’s fine. If they’re looking for me, then I’ll go see them. Perhaps the situation isn’t as bad as it seems.”

With that, Chen Yu took a step and vanished from the main hall, leading the way.

”That guy...” Watching Chen Yu head out of the Ancient City, Feng Miaotian and the others exchanged a look, then vanished from the main hall as well.

—

Outside the Ancient City, four figures arrived in the void, treading upon golden clouds.

They were massive, each figure standing ten feet tall. A conspicuous, special Divine Pattern glowed brightly on their foreheads.

Their bodies were shrouded in a faint Divine Light, making them appear like Divine Spirits.

BZZZT—!

Just as the four figures arrived outside the Ancient City, the void distorted and a lone figure stepped out of thin air.

It was Chen Yu.

Chen Yu swept his gaze over the four figures.

The Celestial Race. This was his first time encountering them.

Their appearance was similar to the Human Race, but they were much taller. The unique pattern on their foreheads was the exclusive Divine Pattern of the Celestial Race.

The Celestial Race was born with powerful bodies and spirits, their strength surpassing nearly all the Ten Thousand Races of the Celestial River.

Even after becoming True Gods, they were far more terrifying than the True Gods of other races.

Chen Yu’s gaze met the gazes of the four members of the Celestial Race.

Their gazes clashed!

Just as Chen Yu was about to speak, Feng Miaotian and the others appeared one after another.

The four figures instantly shifted their attention to Feng Miaotian’s group.

”May I ask what business brings you all here?” Feng Miaotian asked, her expression calm as she faced the four members of the Celestial Race.

”We have come today for the Human Race Venerable, Chen Yu,” the leading Tier Three True God said.

Hearing this, the expressions of Feng Miaotian and the others hardened.

Although they had already suspected it, their hearts still sank upon hearing the Life Court’s official declaration.

With such a display, it seemed they were determined to take Chen Yu away, no matter what.

”You must be the newly ascended Human Race Venerable, Chen Yu, correct?” the leader of the Celestial Race group asked, looking at him.

Chen Yu looked back, his expression unchanging, and nodded lightly. ”I am.”

”Have you come to the Starry Sky Ancient City as guests? If so, then I welcome you.”

As Chen Yu’s voice rang out, Feng Miaotian and the others looked at him, utterly speechless.

’Guests...’

’Are you really not worried at all?’

’Do they look like they’re here as guests?’

”Friend Chen, we did not come here today as guests,” the lead Celestial said.

Chen Yu blinked. ”Not as guests? Then what can I do for you? Do you need any help?”

”...”

’Help? Well, they might need that. You could start by tying yourself up...’

Seeing the ”innocent” look on Chen Yu’s face, the others felt a twitch of exasperation.

But they didn’t say anything.

Playing dumb was playing dumb. Maybe it was for the best.

”Chen Yu, are you aware of the Ten Thousand Races Treaty?” one of the Celestials asked, his eyes fixed on him.

”The Ten Thousand Races Treaty? What’s that? I’ve been in secluded cultivation and don’t know much about the outside world,” Chen Yu replied flippantly.

”...”

”Chen Yu, you have violated the Ten Thousand Races Treaty by indiscriminately attacking those beneath the rank of True God, causing turmoil among the Ten Thousand Races. This is a severe breach. By order of the court, you are sentenced to three hundred years of exile in the Void!”

”We are here today to carry this out. We hope you will comply and not cause any trouble,” the lead Celestial announced, stating the verdict directly.

Upon hearing this sentence, the faces of Feng Miaotian and the others instantly darkened.

Exile in the Void for three hundred years!

Although a True God has a lifespan of a thousand years, a three-hundred-year punishment was still extremely severe.

”Friends, there must be a misunderstanding,” Zhuang Bo’yi immediately spoke up.

”Chen Yu is a newly ascended True God; he isn’t yet familiar with the Ten Thousand Races Treaty that applies to True Gods. As they say, ignorance is no crime. We hope you can be lenient.”

”What do you take my Life Court for? A joke? Today, Chen Yu must face his judgment.”

Another Celestial spoke. As his voice fell, a golden chain materialized behind him, radiating a terrifying aura of Law.

”Chen Yu, accept your judgment!”

The Celestial True God spoke again. As he finished, the golden chain behind him vibrated and shot swiftly toward Chen Yu.

BZZZT—!

But just as the Law Chain was about to bind him, a wave of energy rippled out.

The golden Law Chain trembled, and cracks began to spread across its surface.

BOOM—!!

In the next instant, the golden Law Chain shattered, dissolving into nothingness.

”Judge me? My friends, have I been too easy on you?”

His cold voice drifted out as Chen Yu stared calmly at the four Celestials.

Seeing this, the faces of the four Celestials sank.

”Are you trying to oppose my Life Court?” The lead Celestial’s gaze turned icy, and the temperature of the world seemed to plummet as an immense aura erupted from him.

”Do you have any idea what the consequences are for defying the judgment of the Life Court?”

His voice boomed like thunder, filled with boundless fury.

A monstrous aura surged forward like a cosmic tide. And yet, faced with the Divine Power of a Tier Three True God, Chen Yu remained completely motionless.

”A horde of invaders attacked the heartland of my Human Race. Was I supposed to just let the Human Race sit by and be slaughtered?”

”By that logic, can I lead my Human Race to attack the Celestial Race’s homeland? Should all of you from the Celestial Race just wash your necks and wait for death?”

Chen Yu’s voice thundered as a massive aura exploded from his body.

His voice shook the heavens and the earth, accompanied by the crack of thunder.

”Insolent!”

Hearing his words, the four Celestials erupted in fury. A Divine Thunder cracked across the sky, and a golden bolt descended, blasting directly toward Chen Yu.

”Don’t worry. They can’t kill me!”

Just as Feng Miaotian and the others were about to destroy the thunderbolt, Chen Yu’s voice suddenly rang out. In the next instant, a golden divine dragon roared into existence behind him.

BOOM—!

The Divine Thunder was instantly annihilated. The golden dragon devoured the lightning before transforming back into a streak of golden light that merged into Chen Yu’s body.

Seeing this, the expressions of the four Celestials turned impossibly cold.
