Hua Ruyue sat in her chair with a face full of pride, while an assistant fanned her from behind.

Stephen’s face was ashen, and his heart was full of annoyance.

The scene just filmed was the last scene of War of the Gods, a simple plot where Hua Ruyue’s character emerges from the water.

But such a simple scene had been delayed for a long time.

Because Hua Ruyue refused to get into the water, and finally, with no other choice, Stephen reluctantly agreed to use a body double to complete the scene.

And this concession wasn’t the first time.

Ever since Hua Ruyue joined the cast, Stephen found he could only lower his standards, otherwise, he couldn’t film at all.

Fortunately, it was all over now.

After today’s filming was completed, War of the Gods would be considered finished.

Stephen was even embarrassed to attach his name to this film.

Because he knew, a movie where even the leading actress wouldn’t cooperate properly was doomed to have no future.

But that was no longer his concern.

Stephen had already bought his plane ticket and would fly back to Europe tonight.

“Mr. Stephen, Mr. Xie has prepares a celebration dinner for you tonight, what do you think…” Hua Ruyue’s face was full of feigned affection and pretense.

Stephen’s expression was cold, “Sorry, I have other matters, I’m going back to Europe tonight!”

After speaking, he turned and left.

Hua Ruyue stood there, her face alternating between pale and flushed, and then she clenched her teeth and said bitterly, “The filming is finished now, what’s with the big director act?”

That evening, Hua Ruyue, dolled up flamboyantly, went to meet Xie Tianci and told him about Stephen’s unannounced departure.

Xie Tianci listened and let out a slight, cold laugh.

“Let him go. Do you think I really care about his directorial skills? I value his fame. As long as there’s fame, I don’t care if it’s a dog sitting there directing,” he said indifferently.

Hua Ruyue quickly laughed in agreement: “You’re right, Mr. Xie. But I heard that the director Fan Mengxue hired is quite capable, what do you think…”

Xie Tianci chuckled and drained the wine from his glass, then said indifferently, “No matter how capable, what can he really do? The reason I agreed to them making a movie was to have a little game with them. Now their film is half-made, but no company dares to take on the post-production. Isn’t the money they spent before just wasted?”

Hua Ruyue’s eyes lit up, “Mr. Xie is truly formidable!”

“The Qin Family wants to wade into these muddy waters, then I’ll indulge them. But to compete with me? Hmph!” Xie Tianci sneered, a cold light flickering in his eyes.

Wang Wenjian had been visiting Fan Mengxue’s Weibo page every day.

News about God Slayer had disappeared after that press conference.

More than a month had passed, and many people had already forgotten that there was such a film.

Only loyal fans still remembered.

In stark contrast was the powerful promotional campaign for War of the Gods.

Almost every day, there was an endless stream of rumors and gossip, and promo clips were released one after another.

Such a disparity made many people lose faith in the prospects of God Slayer.

Especially after news of War of the Gods’s completion spread, nearly every star in the entertainment circle started buzzing, and a long queue of messages wishing Hua Ruyue well appeared on her Weibo.

On Fan Mengxue’s side, it was quiet and cold.

Wang Wenjian heaved a sigh, guessing today would be yet another day without fruition.

But when he opened Weibo, there was a new message.

Wang Wenjian paused, it was a video.

Could it be…?

His heart began to race, and he hurriedly clicked on the video.

The video started in darkness.

And a woman’s voice was softly singing something.

A light slowly brightened, and only then could it be seen that in the center of the screen stood a mountain.

And atop the mountain, a woman in tattered clothes but with a determined look stood.

It was Fan Mengxue!

Wang Wenjian suddenly felt a lump in his throat and the urge to cry.

During this time, many said Fan Mengxue had lost, and some even maliciously speculated that Fan Mengxue had probably been scammed.

But Wang Wenjian and others chose to believe.

Finally, they received this video.

It was also the first promotional video for God Slayer.

The video continued, with the woman on the mountaintop slowly raising her head, while above the ninth heaven, countless Heavenly Solders and Generals stood.

They stood among the clouds, towering above.

An imposing voice rang out.

“Mortal, do you acknowledge your sin?”

The woman answered indifferently, “What sin have I committed?”

“You defy the heavens, that is your sin!” the voice said with a hint of anger.

Yet the woman laughed, her laughter as beautiful as a blooming field of flowers, captivatingly beautiful.

“So… in the eyes of you high and mighty deities, a mortal’s desire for a bit of freedom is a sin!”

The imposing voice scoffed coldly, “Mortals are mortals after all, they should labor on the ground, and yet you… you dare to ascend to the heavens, is that not a sin?”

The woman lowered her head.

It seemed as though she had surrendered.

The imposing voice felt a sense of pride, “If you confess now, perhaps I will spare your life!”

Suddenly.

The woman lifted her head, her eyes blazing as if on fire.

“You are wrong!”

“Hmm?” the voice asked with a hint of question.

“Gods are not born noble, nor are humans born inferior. You stand on high, arbitrarily judging the merits and sins of others, but… are you worthy?”

The voice finally got angry, “Obstinate to the end, let her be completely annihilated, both body and soul!”

With a roar, countless arrows tore through the sky, as if tearing the heavens themselves apart.

Yet the woman laughed, slowly drawing the sword in her hand, “So this is what deities are!”

She faced the countless arrows without any hint of retreat.

And after the sound of a dragon’s roar, a Giant Dragon broke through the sky and lifted the woman on its back, charging towards those arrows, those high and mighty deities.

The video ended.

Wang Wenjian sat in his chair, it took five full minutes before he came back to his senses.

Although the promo was short, the grandeur contained within it left him profoundly moved.

The woman defying the heavens, the magnificent scenes, and that vividly lifelike Giant Dragon at the end.

All of this left Wang Wenjian utterly fascinated.

Suddenly, he remembered something and immediately opened his fan group, excitedlv forwarding the video into the chat.

In no time at all, the group chat was flooded with messages.

Oh my God, I thought it was real at first! The special effects are amazing!

Sister Meng Xue looks so cool!

I’m getting more and more excited about the release of God Slayer!

Meanwhile, the comments on Weibo also started to grow exponentially.

Chen Xiaoyi didn’t go to work today, but she still browsed through Weibo out of habit.

However, apart from the news about War of the Gods, there was no information about God Slayer.

Chen Xiaoyi couldn’t help feeling disappointed.

Could it be that the man was really a swindler?

Suddenly.

She saw a Weibo post skyrocketing to popularity right before her eyes.

She felt a stir in her heart and clicked on the video.

After watching it, she was stunned for a long time.

Used to seeing the conflicts between Immortals and specters, it was the first time Chen Xiaoyi witnessed a mortal’s defiance of the heavens, and she felt as if a soft spot deep in her heart had been touched.

The woman who stood defiantly alone against the entire host of gods, isn’t it just the same in real life?
