Chapter 2: Cornering Fortune's Chosen!
Deus's deep eyes that was gazing outside of the window moved towards the sect hall. Not a speck of dust could be seen on his white-as-snow clothes, and a layer of mist seemed to shroud his handsome and exquisite facial features. But if one looked closer, they could see an indifferent expression that overlooked everything without a shred of interest.
With elusive thoughts and his uninterested expression, it was clear he didn't care about the farce that transpired in the hall.
He acted like a silent observer, watching the world from above.
At least, that's how everyone in the hall saw him.
No matter who it was, they all thought that the identity of the man in front of them wasn't simple. Be it his temperament or his demeanor, one could feel an aura of transcendence.
He wasn't a mortal!
Of course, what nobody knew was that Deus's so-called indifference was purely out of a sense of…loss, complete loss. It's not that he didn't care about what went on in the hall, but that he couldn't. At this moment, he was lost in a daze as his memories fused with someone else's.
He was a Transmigrator! He is Rin from the Earth!
A moment ago, He thought his life was over, and in the next, he found himself in this fantasy world as soon as he opened his eyes again.
Here, the mighty can pick the stars and grasp the moon. They can move mountains and overturn the seas. Flying is easy, and escaping through the Earth is normal.
The weak, however, are crushed beneath the feet of the strong. Their lives are worth no more than the grass and mud under ones feet, without a shred of respect and dignity.
Yeah, The world with the principle of the survival of the fittest.

//transferring Diabolus Deus's memory....//
Deus is the son of Demon Lord, Diabolus Tenebris, the Ruler of Demon world in the Divine Realm; he was born with prodigious talent with a terrifying background.
He was sent to the Golden Immortal land in the Immortal realm by his father to gain the real time experience. Now, he is the Holy son of Golden Immortal land.
Although it all felt good to the ears, Deus's experience from reading uncountable online novels in his previous life made his current situation crystal clear to him: he was nothing more than a mob villain, one of those cannon fodders who would get crushed within a few chapters.A stepping stone for the chosen one to confront with the demon lord.
The realization pained Deus's heart.
As he watched the scene before him, he realized that the moment he transmigrated, he ended up in a situation where he would get humiliated by a Favored Son of Heaven!
....
That Hiro's name itself sound like a hero. What's this absurd plot?
I was shown to be some amazing big shot, so wouldn't the chosen one gain a ton of prestige if he successfully crushed a prestigious figure like me?
"Deus.....
"Deus....
By now, Hiro had already called out Deus multiple times, but failed to elicit any response.
Deus didn't even deign to look at him.
Hiro's bones creaked as his clenched fists tightened out of frustration and rage after receiving not a scrap of attention from his adversary. In his view, Deus was thoroughly looking down on him.
"Mmm!?
Deus sat beside the seat of Golden Immortal and raised his eyes.
At this time, a cold snarl followed, by a majestic force of oppression, broke out from Deus's side.
"WHAT IMPUDENCE?! How dare you call the Young Lord's name with such disrespect?
The one who spoke was Tian, the newly-appointed True Disciple of the Ethereal phoenix sect.
He strode forward with a frosty expression, and various runes flickered around his palm as his divine rays surged, showing that he was ready to attack Hiro at any moment to teach him a lesson.
Right now was his time to perform. Had it not been for Deus's good remarks about him, he wouldn't have ascended to his current position. He wouldn't have so easily overwhelmed the other Core Disciples of the Sect otherwise.
For that reason, he held immense feelings of gratitude towards Deus.
After all, he wasn't like Helen, who was born to a Sect Leader and was destined to be the Sect Maiden from the moment she arrived in this world.
"Hiro, you impudent brat! You have challenged our Sect's authority over and over in front of all our guests, and it makes me question your intention…
"Guards! Come forward and immediately throw this beast into a prison; let him await judgement down there!"
At this moment, an Elder also stood up and yelled at Hiro to earn himself some favor points from Deus. There was no way he would pass on such a good opportunity.
"Agreed! Sect Leader, I suggest we abolish this Hiro's cultivation base and wipe out his entire sect."
"Right! We can give Young Lord a reasonable explanation this way!"
The other Elders also reacted and stood up one after another to earn points for themselves, cursing Hiro for his audacity and disrespect with expressions of righteousness.
The show shocked all the guests who had come from afar.
Just what was the identity of that mysterious man in white?
Hiro, on the other hand, turned pale. He could tell the situation wasn't going in his favor. Everyone was trying their best to please that Deus — not even Helen spoke up in his favor!
Why was this happening?! Everything was completely different from his expectations!
Just then, a coldness crept up his heart, calming Hiro's irritable state of mind.
Deus still sat in his seat, but a light of interest could be seen in his eyes.
How peculiar? He hadn't even said a word, yet this Favored Son of Heaven named Hiro had already ended up in an unfavorable situation? This was quite uncharacteristic considering his status as a 'Favored' Son of Heaven.
Following that, Deus's gaze fell upon the pendant adorning around Hiro's neck.
"Hoh!
Seems like it was the standard Powerful Grandpa trope that was popular a few years back in his original world. As expected of a Favored Son of Heaven, they couldn't go without a trump card.
"Deus, do you only know how to bully others with your status?"
Hiro roared once more, glaring at Deus's figure. He felt that the entire situation was orchestrated by Deus to deal with him. If not for his existence, how could the Sect Leader personally give away Helen?
Much could have happened over last night!
Hiro felt a bundle of fury unfurling inside his heart as he thought about that fact. He wished to kill Deus by ten thousand cuts, tearing him into millions of pieces right then and there.
He had once undergone a tribulation with Helen, yet he could only look at her from afar without a chance to get close — so much so that he hadn't even gotten to touch her dress!
Yet, this Deus…
...
Deus still maintained his calm as he kept looking down while he's staring at the pendant. His expression hadn't changed at all, showing neither glee nor fury. In his heart, however, he found the entire spectacle to be quite funny.
After all, this shit-show had nothing to do with him.
Based on the Original's memories, the Original didn't even know about the existence of a nobody like this Hiro before he showed himself and went against him today.
As for the Sect Leader of Ethereal phoenix sect giving her daughter to him? That wasn't because Deus desired her; it was because the Sect leader wanted to rope him in while she still could, to get on his good side.
It was something normal in every world, let alone in a dog-eat-dog world like this place where the strong preyed upon the weak. Who wouldn't want a terrifying backer here? and if they know he's from the divine realm which is far superior than immortal realm?
As for this Hiro? He must be a professional Mud-Slinger, seeing how he had no real strength and only spewed crap from his mouth.
"Pfft!....
Deus smiled silently to himself.
