   My fellow readers, does anyone understand this?! In other supernatural tales, the protagonists are desperately trying to break the rules and escape, but the protagonist of this book simply tears the rules apart, pulls out the "Criminal Law," and sues the Heavenly Dao that created them! 😂 The last chapter was practically a god-tier achievement! The protagonist thoroughly investigated the meteorological patent case of the Heavenly Court's Thunder God and Lightning Goddess, and the next second, he summoned the "Heavenly Dao" to the summit of Buzhou Mountain to try it for its "heavenly tribulation infringement liability" over the past 100,000 years! The Black Wind Demon King was wrongfully killed, and mortal cultivators were mistakenly struck down. The protagonist held a hardcore trial, punishing multiple crimes, and in the end, even made the Heavenly Dao obediently pay "state compensation"! Procedural justice is maximized—isn't this the most satisfying supernatural tale with rules? The entire story is intellectually stimulating, with no dull moments. Highly recommended for all you book lovers suffering from a reading slump! 🔥
