On the way to the Heavenly Thunder Abyss control room, the Thunder Dragon Emperor said a few more words to Lin Tianming, who was about to meet the Sky Thunder Abyss Master.

"Our Sky Thunder Abyss Master from the Genetic Heavenly Thunder Abyss has a somewhat capricious temperament. Although I've agreed to take you to see Him, He might not be willing to say much to you."

"If He gets angry later, it's best not to provoke Him and just leave!"

Lin Tianming listened to the Thunder Dragon Emperor's advice and nodded, "I understand."

He had just dealt with one incredibly aloof strongest Divine King of the Genetic Heavenly Thunder Abyss and now here was another moody Abyss Master.

This mission for the Genetic God Country is really not easy!

Thinking this, Lin Tianming entered the Heavenly Thunder Abyss control room with the Thunder Dragon Emperor.

In this control room, one could oversee the entire Genetic Heavenly Thunder Abyss City.

All the cores of the Thunder Array defenses are here, fully under the control of the Sky Thunder Abyss Master.

"You've arrived."

Upon entering, Lin Tianming immediately saw the Sky Thunder Abyss Master sitting on a chair, his back to them as he spoke.

The Thunder Dragon Emperor gave Lin Tianming a look and then stepped forward to bow slightly in greeting.

"Abyss Master, this is Lin Tianming, a distinguished guest of the Eternal Night Star Palace, chosen by Angel Xingyao."

The Sky Thunder Abyss Master did not turn to look at Lin Tianming; instead, he continued to sit in his chair facing away.

Nor did he look at the Thunder Dragon Emperor, but rather his eyes were fixed on a Thunder Tree outside the transparent window.

It was a huge twisted thunder tree flashing with pitch-black thunder, called the Black Shining Holy Thunder Tree.

The entire functioning power of the Genetic Heavenly Thunder Abyss originated from this Black Shining Holy Thunder Tree transformed by genetic technology.

After staring at the Black Shining Holy Thunder Tree for a while, the Sky Thunder Abyss Master finally spoke with his aged and majestic voice.

"Do you remember my command?"

The moment He spoke, Lin Tianming sensed something was off.

He turned his gaze to the Thunder Dragon Emperor and noticed that she was already shivering with fright.

"Remember... remember!"

"Remember then why did you bring this man from the Abandoned Land to see me?"

When the Sky Thunder Abyss Master spoke to this extent, Lin Tianming knew that the earlier obstruction by the Thunder Dragon Emperor was simply following orders.

"I... I promised him... if I lost... I would... bring him... to see You..."

Under the unseen pressure of the Sky Thunder Abyss Master, the Thunder Dragon Emperor was stuttering so badly that she could barely speak.

"A duel with him was your affair. Then why did you gamble on bringing him to see me as a stake? Do you take my command as something to ignore at will!"

As he spoke, the Sky Thunder Abyss Master unleashed a terrifying Black Shining Holy Thunder, electrocuting the Thunder Dragon Emperor so severely that she collapsed to the ground, her body riddled with injuries.

Seeing this, Lin Tianming's face darkened.

This old guy... is so ruthless even to his own people?

After all, the Thunder Dragon Emperor was the strongest Divine King under the command of the Abyss Master; punishment was dealt without hesitation, and so fiercely at that.

"I... I was wrong... Abyss Master... sorry! I should not have staked your absolute order..."

The Thunder Dragon Emperor, although strong among the Divine Kings, was just a Divine King.

For the Sky Thunder Abyss Master, a True God, taking her down was all too easy.

"Losing to someone from the Abandoned Land, this time you have completely disgraced the reputation of my Genetic Heavenly Thunder Abyss—how will the other forces of the Genetic God Country view my Genetic Heavenly Thunder Abyss? How will the other two Divine Countries look upon our Genetic God Country?"

"I... lacked consideration... was reckless... Abyss Master... I... will publicly declare that this duel has nothing to do with the Genetic Heavenly Thunder Abyss; it was... my private fight!"

Under the might of the Sky Thunder Abyss Master's Black Shining Holy Thunder, the Thunder Dragon Emperor, bearing the intense pain, proposed her solution to rectify the mistake.

But the Sky Thunder Abyss Master was not satisfied.

"You are a Divine King personally cultivated by my Genetic Heavenly Thunder Abyss. Even if you want to disassociate yourself from this duel's defeat, in the eyes of other forces within the Genetic God Country, you still represent my Genetic Heavenly Thunder Abyss!

Can such a fault really be disassociated with a mere private fight?"

Seeing that the Sky Thunder Abyss Master was still unsatisfied, the increasingly weak Thunder Dragon Emperor gasped for air.

"Your subordinate... is willing to willingly leave the Genetic Heavenly Thunder Abyss to atone for my sins!"

The Thunder Dragon Emperor thought this would quell the anger of the Abyss Master. However, the Abyss Master's next words left her deathly pale.

"Did you really think you could come and go as you please in my Genetic Heavenly Thunder Abyss? You've made a grave error that has seriously damaged the reputation of my Genetic Heavenly Thunder Abyss, so you shall atone with your death!"

"No... Abyss Master, I... I have followed you for so many years... You cannot... ah!"

The Thunder Dragon Emperor's plea to not die was cut short as an overwhelming surge of power from the Black Shining Holy Thunder, which could annihilate even a Divine King, shocked her to the ground in agonizing spasms.

Lin Tianming had not expected the Sky Thunder Abyss Master to decide to personally kill the Thunder Dragon Emperor because he defeated her and caused the Genetic Heavenly Thunder Abyss to lose face.

He had just met the Thunder Dragon Emperor and come to admire her character for keeping promises, and he did not wish to see her die in front of him.

He acted in an instant, wrapping the Thunder Dragon Emperor in the Primordial Chaos Power and forcibly rescuing her from the might of the Black Shining Holy Thunder.

Holding the Thunder Dragon Emperor, who was nearly killed by the Sky Thunder Abyss Master, Lin Tianming looked coldly towards the Abyss Master who was still turned away from him.

"The Thunder Dragon Emperor is, after all, the first Divine King of your Genetic Heavenly Thunder Abyss. Do you really intend to kill her over such a trivial matter, without fearing that you might chill the hearts of other high-level gods?"

Faced with Lin Tianming's questioning, the Sky Thunder Abyss Master finally turned around, looking at Lin Tianming with an imposing and indifferent gaze.

"This concerns the reputation of the Genetic Heavenly Thunder Abyss within the Genetic God Country, and the reputation of the Genetic God Country amongst the other two great divine countries. Letting her die to atone is already letting her off easy!"

Hearing the Abyss Master's indifferent words, the Thunder Dragon Emperor - who had always been loyal to the Genetic Heavenly Thunder Abyss - felt extremely chilled.

As a god, she had not cried in a very long time.

But today, being so heartlessly abandoned, the heartbroken Thunder Dragon Emperor still shed tears.

Lin Tianming also noticed that the Thunder Dragon Emperor, on her last breath, was crying.

He wiped her tears while declaring in an undeniable tone, "Such heartless and faithless behavior; you dare call yourself a god, much less fit to be the master of this Genetic Heavenly Thunder Abyss!"

"Talking about feelings with a god, how laughable!"

The Abyss Master did not think he was in the wrong.

Lin Tianming knew that his philosophies did not align with this Abyss Master, who had been a god for so long that he seemed to have lost his conscience.

He had no interest in discussing greater truths with this old fool.

But today, he, Lin Tianming, was determined to protect the Thunder Dragon Emperor!

Thinking leads to action; Lin Tianming looked at the Sky Thunder Abyss Master with no fear.

"I, Lin Tianming, have ensured the safety of the Thunder Dragon Emperor. If you still wish to kill her, you are welcome to try!"

The Thunder Dragon Emperor, lying in Lin Tianming's arms, was stunned, not expecting Lin Tianming would actually protect her.

They had just fought fiercely, barely acquainted, yet Lin Tianming was willing to protect her.

And yet, she who had contributed endless years to the Genetic Heavenly Thunder Abyss was about to be eradicated by the Abyss Master over a loss of face...

This thought made the aggrieved Thunder Dragon Emperor even less capable of holding back her tears.

Having declared his intention to protect the Thunder Dragon Emperor, Lin Tianming was ready for a death battle with the Sky Thunder Abyss Master.

Who would've thought that the Abyss Master would turn away again, sitting on his chair with his back to him.

"If you want to protect her, go ahead. Take this waste of a god that my Genetic Heavenly Thunder Abyss has cast aside and get out of my sight!"

Although surprised that the Abyss Master let him go so easily, Lin Tianming still carried the dying, desperately in need of treatment Thunder Dragon Emperor away from there.
