Morning in Qingyun City was already chaotic.
The streets were littered with broken carts, scorched earth, and terrified civilians. Li Wei was still sobbing over his destroyed vegetable stand. Xiao Fang had a newfound obsession with Chen Ping'an, whispering to her friends:
Did you see him? He… he's a god now.
Above the city, cultivators hovered in the clouds, gripping their weapons and arrays. Elder Tian Shen wiped sweat from his brow.
This… this mortal… is beyond comprehension, he muttered.
Master Yun Xi shivered.
We can't even touch him. His aura… it's bending reality.
Chen Ping'an yawned in the library. He was carefully wiping a bookshelf with a cloth.
…Dust. So much dust.
A tiny fly buzzed lazily by. He swatted it with his slipper.
[DING!]
[Target Identified: Primordial Star Leviathan (Universe-Ending-Class)]
[Reward Granted: Infinite Conceptual Manipulation]
[Reward Granted: +10 Cultivation Realms]
Chen Ping'an tilted his head. "…Huh. That's new."
Below in the streets, cultivators gasped.
Brother Kong whispered:
…The fly… was a Primordial Star Leviathan?!
Wei Ling's sword nearly slipped from his hands.
"…It… it can destroy galaxies…"
Chen Ping'an shrugged. "…Eh. Still a bug."
He picked up his industrial vacuum for a quick cleaning.
BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Reality screamed.
The city quaked. Mountains trembled. Clouds scattered into ribbons of light.
Above, Elder Tian Shen clutched his head.
…It's… absorbing everything.
Master Yun Xi could barely speak.
"…He… he's vacuuming a star leviathan. How… how is that possible?!
Brother Kong fainted entirely.
The Leviathan let out a roar that shattered space itself… then shrank.
Like… vacuumed. Like it had never existed.
Chen Ping'an blinked at the vacuum's dust chamber.
"…Huh. That was heavy."
The cultivators in the sky collectively passed out.
Entropy, still floating beyond mortal comprehension, hissed:
"…This… defies all laws…"
Chen Ping'an yawned, stretching.
"…You still mad? I'm busy. Got a hot pot to make."
Meanwhile, in a hidden sect hall:
Elder Ming Zhao, head of the Celestial Harmony Sect, whispered in terror:
"…The library guard… has erased a Primordial Star Leviathan… using… a vacuum cleaner."
Another disciple, Lian Hua, fainted.
"…Even the Celestial Codex doesn't allow this…"
Chen Ping'an looked at the street outside the library.
"Eh… I guess I should dust the plaza next."
Li Wei groaned.
"…I'm never opening a shop again…"
Xiao Fang whispered:
…I… I need to follow him. He's… amazing…
Chen Ping'an yawned, walked back into the library, and muttered:
…Still five minutes before opening.
[System Notice: Host has surpassed all classifications. Conceptual overflow detected.]
[New Target Suggestions: Entire Galaxy – Optional]
[Reward Calculation Failed: Universe Capacity Overflow]
Chen Ping'an scratched his head.
…Uh… maybe later.
And so the Slipper God continued his routine:
Sweeping dust
Swatting bugs
Destroying universe-level threats by accident
Planning hot pot for lunch
