Conflict

In truth, Miller least wanted to accompany his young master for a stroll around the city where they lived. This was because fights often broke out whenever the young master left the house, even if it was just around their residential area. The young man with the full name Tiberius Julius was notorious for causing trouble in the city. Many residents and cultivators in the city did not like him. However, this time, it seemed that Miller couldn't refuse his master's request.

After a while of getting ready, Julius emerged from his room. He then invited Uncle Miller to go out of the house and walk around the city on foot. Just a few houses into their journey, Julius was met with disdainful glares from the residents. Several people chose to go in the opposite direction rather than cross paths with Tiberius Julius.

"Why do they treat me like this, Uncle Miller? Have I wronged them?" Tiberius Julius asked Miller.

Miller's face changed dramatically. He couldn't reveal what had actually happened. On the other hand, Miller was also irritated by the question posed by his master. It was as if the young man felt no guilt for his arbitrary behavior towards the city's residents.

The Light God himself did not precisely know the cause of the city dwellers' dislike towards him. In his memory as Julius, there was no indication of the residents' aversion to him. Moreover, at this point, his memories and traits positioned him more as Davis Max, the reincarnation of the strongest deity in the previous universe.

"I-I don't know, young master. Perhaps they are just too shy to meet you, so they choose to keep their distance. They are aware of their status, not equal to yours," Miller replied, trying to find a plausible explanation.

"Hmmm..."

Only a murmur escaped Tiberius Julius in response to Miller's answer. The young man knew that his personal assistant was hiding something. However, he didn't press the middle-aged man to reveal it.

Suddenly, as they entered a district in their city, Tiberius Julius was confronted by a group of older youths. Leading the obstructing group was a young member of the Starfall family, rivals to the Tiberius family in the struggle for power in the city. Among them, Smith Gigo harbored the most animosity towards Li Julius.

"I thought the young master of the Tiberius family wouldn't dare to leave the house and wander around the city. Do you really want trouble with us, daring to defy our prohibition? Haven't I told you, Tiberius Julius, not to enter this area again? This is my domain, and nobody is allowed here unless they bring a significant gift to me."

Tiberius Julius furrowed his brow upon hearing Smith Gigo's words, the young master of the Starfall family. He didn't understand what the man was talking about. In his memory, he couldn't recall any incidents involving Smith Gigo. However, when he looked at Miller, his personal assistant seemed visibly panicked.

"Young master, it's better if we leave this place. Don't engage with the young master of the Starfall family. He has a higher cultivation level than both of us, young master," Miller whispered to Julius with a worried tone.

Unlike Miller's state, Julius showed no signs of fear. Essentially, he didn't recognize Smith Gigo. Moreover, with his current abilities, Julius could easily gauge the strength of his opponent. He could tell that none of the individuals on Smith Gigo's side were stronger than him.

"Let's continue our journey, Uncle Miller!" Julius said, completely disregarding Smith Gigo, who was staring at him sharply.

At that moment, Miller was genuinely frightened by Smith Gigo's anger, which could potentially lead to their demise. However, for some reason, witnessing Julius's courage suddenly ignited Miller's spirit, and he found himself growing bolder. With his chest puffed out and a determined stance, Miller followed behind Tiberius Julius.

"You arrogant fool, how dare you, Tiberius Julius! You're playing with fire by defying me, the young master! I won't hesitate to finish you, Tiberius Julius!" Smith Gigo angrily exclaimed, realizing that Julius was the one manipulating

Without the slightest hint of fear, Tiberius Julius continued walking away from the place. However, with his frustration, Smith Gigo chased after and intended to finish off the young master of the Tiberius family. He then exerted strength in the palm of his right hand to strike the young man. How surprised Smith Gigo was when he realized that his target had vanished from the spot.

Smith Gigo was truly shocked by the swiftness of Tiberius Julius's earlier movements. Somehow, the young man was already behind Smith Gigo. He even sent a kick directly behind the young master Smith. As a result, Smith Gigo stumbled several steps away from his position. Luckily, Tiberius Julius didn't use his full strength when kicking Smith Gigo just now.

"You scoundrel, Tiberius Julius! How dare you toy with this young master! I won't hesitate to finish you off,!" Smith Gigo growled, realizing that it was Tiberius Julius who had been playing him.

Smith Gigo, truly infuriated by being manipulated by Julius, now unleashed his power to about half of its capacity. He had entered the realm of the first heavenly spirit. Currently, in the two families at this level, it was very rare for young individuals to master it. Most of them were still in the intermediate earthly realm.

In Smith Gigo's own perception, Tiberius Julius was still in the intermediate earthly realm. Thus, he was confident that being in the peak earthly realm placed him far above Julius. In his calculations, Tiberius Julius was still seven levels below him.

This time, Tiberius Julius did not evade when Smith Gigo's attack was directed at him. He employed a light shield technique, a skill he had developed during his time as a light deity. Despite being in a lower cultivation realm, with this technique, he could block the attacks of an opponent far above his level.
