God-Tier Providence Chapter 7

Chapter 7: Chapter 7

A terrifying killing intent wrapped around Knox like invisible chains.

It pressed against his skin, seeped into his bones, and froze his thoughts.

In that instant, Knox woke up completely.

What was humiliation compared to death?

Nothing.

His face turned pale, and all the anger that had just burned in his chest vanished like smoke. He lowered his head and did not dare utter another word.

Only now did he truly understand the identity of the person standing before him.

Alex was not so minor antagonist who existed to be stepped on.

He was the Saint Lord of the Hale Family. One of the most feared figures on the Azure Origin Continent.

If Alex wished to crush him, it would be effortless.

Knox’s heart trembled.

He could not die here.

He still had a future filled with opportunities. With enough ti, he would rise above everyone. One day, he would stand at the peak of the continent and look down upon all enemies.

How could his journey end today?

So Knox swallowed his resentnt.

He clenched his fists silently.

But deep inside, hatred fernted.

Alex. If I do not avenge this humiliation, then I, Knox, am not human.

At that mont, Alex glanced at the system panel.

Through the God-Tier Providence System, he clearly saw a faint fluctuation.

Knox’s luck had increased by a wisp.

Alex’s eyes narrowed slightly.

So it really worked like that.

In stories, the protagonist’s humiliation often beca fuel for growth. The deeper the resentnt, the stronger the future rebound.

That ant humiliation could not be used recklessly.

If overused, it would only strengthen Knox’s destiny.

The better thod was obvious.

Take his opportunities.

Snatch his won.

Interrupt his future monts of glory.

That was the true way to crush a chosen one.

With that thought, Alex stopped paying attention to Knox entirely.

His gaze shifted slowly toward Isolde.

"Your Seven Orifices Divine Heart is a priceless treasure of the Hale Family."

His voice was calm and cold.

"You do not actually think that by leaving the Hale Family you can take this treasure with you, do you?"

Isolde’s breathing grew uneven.

"Since you are leaving the Hale Family, then leave your heart behind."

"Saint Lord..." Isolde’s voice trembled.

The resolute expression she wore earlier finally cracked. Grievance filled her eyes.

"Without the Seven Orifices Divine Heart, I will die..."

"No, you will not die."

Alex interrupted her imdiately.

A faint sneer appeared in his heart.

Did she think acting pitiful would change anything?

Too late.

"The Seven Orifices Divine Heart, though called a heart, is ultimately an external object," Alex said coldly.

"You refined it, but your original heart still exists."

Isolde’s face turned even paler.

Of course she knew that.

Removing the Seven Orifices Divine Heart would not kill her.

But it would strip away everything that made her extraordinary.

Her insight.

Her comprehension.

Her unmatched talent.

Without it, she would beco ordinary. A cultivator with no hope of reaching the peak.

And on the Azure Origin Continent, strength ant everything.

Who wanted to beco ordinary?

She bit her lip and looked at Alex with pleading eyes.

"Lord Alex... I am your family."

She hoped that ntioning their past relationship would soften him.

She hoped that the man who once indulged her endlessly would hesitate.

But Alex’s eyes showed no warmth.

Did you not just say you were severing ties?

Alex thought silently.

Then he spoke, his voice filled with disdain.

"I am not your family."

"Shaless. You committed adultery with an outsider and repaid kindness with betrayal."

"You severed ties with your family for a stranger."

"I do not need a family mber like you."

Each word struck like a hamr.

Isolde’s expression darkened.

Fear slowly swallowed her pride.

She finally understood.

This ti, Alex would not yield.

He truly intended to take back the Seven Orifices Divine Heart.

Around them, the mbers of the Hale Family also realized the change.

At first they were stunned.

Then excitent spread among them like wildfire.

The Saint Lord had finally upheld justice.

He would no longer favor Isolde blindly.

And if the Seven Orifices Divine Heart was retrieved...

Did that an soone else might inherit it?

Their breathing grew heavier.

Ambition ignited in their eyes.

Without hesitation, they began criticizing Isolde loudly.

"Isolde, you said it yourself. You wanted to sever ties. Returning the family treasure is only natural."

"You actually thought you could take the Hale Family’s sacred artifact away? How shaless."

"You accuse us of being selfish, yet you are the most selfish one here. What right do you have to speak?"

Their voices overlapped, sharp and relentless.

Isolde listened to the accusations.

Her face turned ashen.

For the first ti, she felt isolated.

No one stood by her side anymore.

She could only turn her gaze toward Knox.

Her eyes pleaded silently.

Help .

Find a way.

But Knox himself was in a miserable state.

Alex’s aura still pressed down on him, pinning him to the ground like a mountain.

He could not move.

Could not speak freely.

Yet hearing that the Seven Orifices Divine Heart would be taken away filled him with panic.

He absolutely could not accept this.

Isolde was not just a lover.

She was an indispensable partner.

Her intelligence was crucial to his future.

Without her, countless opportunities would beco uncertain.

Knox’s thoughts raced wildly.

Damn it.

What should I do now?
