One day, in the peaceful Spirit Beast Garden ??, Noe ????? was sleeping soundly in his house. Suddenly, a brilliant light ? flew into the room, hovering right beside his bed. The light grew larger and gradually took the shape of a person, with an awe-inspiring face ?? and gigantic pure white wings ??? behind them. This figure held an ancient book and a glittering quill. The voice was clear and resonant throughout the room, yet like a whisper in Noe’s mind:

  "Noe, awake. You are called by the Supreme Deity, chosen as His Prophet, to be His voice, His spokesperson. Noe, ears to hear, do not disobey, wait. Soon." ??

  Noe abruptly woke up, sweat beading on his forehead ??. He saw nothing, but the feeling of the dream was vivid to every detail, as if it were a true memory and not a dream. Noe felt a mix of anxiety and excitement ??. He was anxious because of the calling from a Celestial God (Thiên Th?n) from the high layers, a kind of deity he had only encountered Earth Gods (??a Th?n)—deities tied to the land like Tǔdì Gōng (Th? Th?n), City Gods, Ancestral Gods, and many other lesser gods.

  He was excited because contact with a high-level god was special recognition from above. If he completed the task, he would certainly receive a large amount of valuable Divine Merit (Th?n ??c). Not to mention the possibility of achieving other fantastic rewards: a small God Position on earth, or some authority or privilege. Noe had harbored a desire for a long time to be granted access to the Heavenly Scroll (Thiên Th?), also known as the Heavenly Course (Thiên Trình), the Heavenly Furnace (Thiên L?), or the Akashic Library (Th? vi?n Akashic).

  That is the place where all the history of the world is recorded, from the beginning to the end, even events that have not yet happened, concerning the multi-verse, the Supreme Deity, the Creator God (Th?n Sáng T?o), and all the laws and developmental paths of all races.

  The Celestial God came three more times in the following days, but each time Noe sank deep into sleep, unable to open his eyes no matter how hard he tried, as if an invisible force held his consciousness captive.

  Seven days later, when Noe was fully awake and leisurely watering plants in his garden, a direct divine decree ???, filled with supreme majesty and profound displeasure, echoed straight into his heart:

  "Noe, go to Lang V??ng Thành (Wolf King City). Inform them: in 100 days, I will destroy this city with a Meteorite (Thiên Th?ch)!" ??

  As soon as the decree ended, Noe was dazed, his limbs weak. Lang V??ng Thành was a city in the West that Noe hated the most, and all the Forest Gods surrounding it despised this city. It was a very large city, the center of the West, and the capital of the Jewel Kingdom's perennial enemy. That kingdom made raiding their primary way of life. Every year, they frequently organized major and minor raids across the western border of the Jewel Kingdom: men were killed without mercy, and women and children were taken as slaves—sins piled upon sins.

  Noe said nothing, standing silently for a long time, then suddenly looked up, turned around, and ran desperately towards the East ???♂?, putting as much distance as possible between himself and Lang V??ng Thành.

  He ran non-stop. For the first 10 days, nothing happened. But on the 11th day, a decree from the high heavens, carrying extreme anger and displeasure, resonated directly in Noe's heart:

  "Noe, where are you going?" ??

  Noe did not answer; he kept running blindly, his heart filled with fear and defiance. From that day on, the entire world seemed to turn against him. Birds flying overhead defecated directly onto his head, even though he was running fast. Ferocious bears and wolves rushed out of the forest to chase him. Trees unexpectedly extended their branches to snag his clothes, causing him to trip. Strong winds rose, and rocks fell from above. Everything aimed directly at Noe with startling accuracy—it was certainly not accidental.

  Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

  Finally, he was blocked by a powerful Forest God ??—a Divine Beast with the form of a half-eagle, half-lion, capable of transforming up to 20m tall and flying extremely fast. Noe had no way to resist; he was beaten unconscious.

  The colossal Forest God carried him on its back for many days, then released Noe right in front of the gates of Lang V??ng Thành and flew away. Noe, his body exhausted and his strength depleted, lay almost lifelessly right outside the city gate, but no one paid him any mind, allowing the sand and wind to wear down his last bit of strength.

  A General—a half-human, black-dog head, human body—rode past. Seeing Noe in such a miserable state, he was moved by compassion, gently lifting Noe onto his horse and taking him into the city for care and treatment.

  By the time Noe woke up, the General was gone. Noe did not know who he was, only having a vague memory of the General who saved him. Noe wandered through the city for one day, repeating the phrase: "In 49 days, this city will be destroyed!"

  Afterward, he left the city and lay outside, awaiting the Celestial Dao's punishment. Noe thought his warning in this sinful city would pass like a breeze, with no one paying attention.

  But one person listened—the very person who had saved Noe, the half-human General. He was a close General to the King, having risked his life many times to protect the King, thus being extremely trusted, one of the few people in the city with compassion (lòng tr?c ?n) and prestige.

  The King heard the General's account and wanted to test Noe, so he came personally to see him. The King saw the sincerity in Noe, his clear hatred for the Wolf King, and the internal conflict between his duty as a prophet and his personal emotions. The King tried to bring Noe into the city, but he refused. Finally, he had to be bound and tied to be brought inside.

  The King was convinced by Noe's sincerity, leading him to believe the prophecy. He immediately ordered the entire kingdom, including 120 large and small cities, to pray daily for the nation, commanding the Shamans (pháp s? giao ti?p v?i các h?n) and Druids (pháp s? giao ti?p v?i các Linh t? nhiên)—both belonging to the Divine Cultivation (Th?n Tu) branch—to invoke forgiveness and redemption. In Lang V??ng Thành itself, all citizens had to stop their work, kneeling and praying every day. The King provided enough food and water for everyone. The King himself, along with all his officials and generals, knelt and prayed no less than 10 times a day. The entire city was enveloped in an atmosphere of solemnity and reverence.

  On the final day, the sky was clear blue all day, without a cloud. But around noon, a gigantic meteorite ?? suddenly appeared in the sky, growing larger and larger, eclipsing the sun, plunging the city into darkness. Terrible fear weighed down on all of Lang V??ng Thành; everyone believed the city was unforgiven and that today was their doomsday.

  Suddenly, a loud explosion ?? rang out, shattering the tense atmosphere. The meteorite unexpectedly changed direction, plunging straight into the nearby river, creating a giant column of water ?? that surged like a waterfall, crashing into the city. By the end of the day, the total count showed not a single person had died ?; there was only minor damage when the water hit.

  They began to prostrate themselves and thank the Supreme Deity for many days afterward. Repair work began. The city gate was repaired, and they carved the image of the Forest God ????—half-lion, half-eagle—carrying the Prophet who saved them, with an extremely magnificent, beautiful, and adorable appearance. Along with this came policies to aid those in distress on the roads, and the Prophet was granted the privilege of moving freely within their territory.

  As for Noe, the Prophet being hailed by the people, he walked back in tattered clothes, his limbs and mind utterly exhausted ??. He still couldn't understand what he had done. He had cursed the Wolf King terribly, goaded and damned him. Yet, the King let him live, even honored and praised him. He truly didn't understand anything anymore! ???♂?

  Noe walked quite a distance when the half-human, black-dog head General, rode up in a carriage. He brought new clothes for Noe, applied perfume and massage oil, diligently massaged his hands and feet, and brought him food and drink, treating him with the utmost respect. Afterward, he drove Noe in the carriage through the Jewel Kingdom (V??ng qu?c Chau Ng?c), taking him to Doanh Thành before returning. The people in the city called him by the magnificent title: "H?c H? Pháp Th?n Khuy?n V??ng" (Black Protector Divine Dog King) ??
