In a Hong Kong boxing match against the Boxing Champion Tornado, after a foreign devil fumbled through Google Translation, the moment the match began, another flash sparked from the CD behind Ip Man. Deploying a celestial spell—Wind Swept and Clouds Scattered—he summoned a gale out of nowhere centered around the champion, shredding his opponent directly into a bloody pulp.
At a foreign boxing ring,
Boxing Champion Tornado, sweating as he threw punches, widened his dog-like eyes: "What the fuck!!"
The scene of Tornado being shredded left an indelible shadow of trauma deep inside the champion's heart,
so much so that in the days to come, he would never dare to arrogantly despise or underestimate the martial artists of Zhonghuajia.
[Inside an elevator, a visibly hostile Thai boxer had just slipped off one of his slippers. Sensing something amiss, the CD behind Ip Man lit up, and the opponent's slipper automatically flew back onto his foot. After trying unsuccessfully to kick it off several more times, Ip Man finally grew impatient, and with a single thought, sent the Thai boxer flying on the spot, crashing straight through layer after layer of walls all the way into his boss's office, delivering a solid "Earth-shattering" blow.]
Ali, who had not yet made his mark in Hong Kong: "...Hello? Why am I the one getting hurt?"
Meanwhile, Zhang Yongcheng and Ip Zhun, who had been forcibly sent to Hong Kong by Ip Man just before the outbreak of the war,
seeing on the Celestial Screen that Ip Man was safe and sound,
finally felt the heavy stones that had been weighing on their hearts for days lift at last.
Yet, thinking of how Ip Man was actually an immortal,
banished down to the mortal realm for violating the Heavenly Statutes by finding Chang'e to vent his frustrations,
no matter how refined Zhang Yongcheng's temperament was, she simply couldn't swallow this jar of jealousy.
"Hmph, just wait until you get to Hong Kong. I am going to interrogate you thoroughly."
[In Eagle Nation's Chinatown, a flying sword streaked through the air, successfully stopping a foreign karate master's vicious assault on a female Chinese martial artist. Ip Man transformed into the Sword Immortal of Zhonghuajia, cutting down the foreign karate master beneath the ring with a giant sword technique.]
[An officer of the Eagle Nation Marine Corps was supremely arrogant, declaring, "No rules, until someone falls!" Complying with his opponent's rules, Ip Man summoned a massive mountain that came crashing down upon his foe, instantly drawing the profound respect and deafening applause of numerous foreign servicemen.]
At this moment, the officer—who was not yet a Marine—exclaimed: "..What the fuck?"
He found it completely incomprehensible how he could ever utter such foolish words as "No rules, until someone falls" when facing an opponent who was basically a god.
[Ip Man's final soliloquy: "I survived the eighty-one trials with great difficulty, yet I never wish to return to the Heavenly Court. Here, I am revered by thousands and enjoy the incense of ten thousand households, and my magic grows ever stronger. The mortal realm that immortals hold in such contempt is, to me, a fairyland."]

Danmu comments:
[Good grief, is that the Heavenly Emperor Ip? This Ip Man universe is getting more and more ridiculous.]
[That translation scene was fantastic, I completely lost it. It's practically a divine prophecy—he says you fly, and you fly! No need to fear parting ways; wondering what's for dinner tonight, he was already planning the funeral feast from the start.]
[Ip Man: "I originally wanted to mingle with you all in the guise of a mortal, but I'm dropping the act now. Cards on the table."]
[Ip Man: "I gave you three chances to put your slippers back on. That was my final mercy. Since you didn't cherish it, go meet the Four-Faced Buddha instead."]
[Master Ip, that round-eyed officer has a skull so thick he might still be standing—technically not fallen yet. I suggest a follow-up blow, seeing as we must respect his rules after all.]
[Pig Bajie: "We both went to spar with Chang'e, so why can't I get a script like yours?"]
"Hahaha... heh heh heh... humph humph humph..."
Gu Xiaobai laughed like a fool,
forgive him for having a low threshold for amusement,
he was simply one of those people who could crack up and develop abdominal muscles just from reading the comment section.
In a few swift strokes, he composed a comment and hit send.
Little did he know that this habit of his—liking and commenting on a whim—would cause yet another parallel world to deviate from its original course,
spinning the wheel of history into a wildly sassy sharp turn,
and accelerating off in a completely different direction.
...
After the video ended,
a bold, oversized comment scrolled across the Celestial Screen:
[I can vouch that Ip Man knows magic. I went to the Eastern Heavenly Gate to pick up a package once, and Master Ip even very politely asked me for a cigarette.]
Suddenly, a magnetic female voice rang out...
[In accordance with the host's wish, a mysterious reward is hereby bestowed upon Foshan Wing Chun Ip Man.]
A beam of golden light descended from the heavens,
landing squarely upon Ip Man.
A ball of light penetrated the space between his brows,
and a mighty divine power merged with his physical body, condensing into divine consciousness.
Spells such as moving mountains and filling seas, flying on swords, myriad phenomena, and the Five Spirits Orthodox Dharma—
in the span of just a few breaths,
Ip Man vaulted from an ordinary mortal straight up to the heavens.
After completing the baptism of the system,
both Ip Man's outward appearance and temperament
gave off a distinctly immortal aura.
Li Zhao was ecstatic: "Master, you... are you really an immortal now?"
"It's a bit early to call myself an immortal, but..."
Ip Man shook his head, his tone shifting,
"I have indeed mastered the spells displayed on the Celestial Screen."
With his aura fully unleashed,
the familiar CD instantly reappeared.
The next moment, Ip Man soared into the air,
and the ground began to shake violently as if struck by an earthquake,
trembling so fiercely that Li Zhao and the others couldn't even stand,
and could only scramble to the ground in a panic.
Everyone wept tears of joy, laughing and crying all at once.
Ip Man had just acquired immortal power and was not yet able to control it perfectly,
fortunately, the system had enhanced his physical constitution,
and he believed he would adapt and master it in no time.
Just then,
the Celestial Screen began playing the next video,
with the title scrolling across—[Heaven's Punishment: The Historic Mega-Earthquake in Little Japan, Mudslides, and Tens of Millions of Tons of Seawater Backflow...]
Dear reader, there is still more to this chapter! Please click the next page to continue reading, more exciting content awaits!
[After the earthquake, several little Japanese chickens failed to head immediately to safe areas for evacuation, choosing instead to wander around filming with their mobile phones. Then... a landslide occurred, and massive amounts of rock and soil on the slope began spreading downward under the influence of gravity toward the people below.
The little Japanese chickens still hadn't realized danger was imminent and kept filming until the rock and soil were less than a meter away, whereupon they hollered and scrambled backward, the footage finally ending on the frame where they were swallowed by the earth.]
Upon seeing this, China couldn't help applauding and cheering.
"Truly asking for death! Lingering right up until doom is at your doorstep—if you don't die, who will!"
The little Japanese chickens invading China screamed: Baka! Aho!
Their nation was already located in a seismically active zone, and the accompanying disasters were countless,
yet they had never seen such utterly stupid little Japanese chickens. Knowing full well a mudslide was coming, they still didn't skedaddle,
wasting their lives away at the back—they ought to be dragged to the front lines where even death would serve some value.
[On a Japanese street, a little Japanese chicken was filming from the second floor of his home as a tsunami triggered by the earthquake made landfall. His lens focused on a street flooded by seawater, when suddenly, a house actually drifted right into the frame, carried along by the moving waters. And that wasn't even the most magical part—the truly magical thing was that upon seeing this, the little Japanese chicken doing the filming grew so excited that he started babbling away incoherently.
Those who didn't understand might have thought this little Japanese chicken was overcome with grief, but in reality, it was nothing of the sort; moments later, he burst into delighted laughter.
Facing a natural disaster in his own country, he still found the mood to be happy—how profoundly ignorant and pathetic!]
For reasons unknown, seeing the little Japanese chickens suffering from natural disasters in this scene, the corners of the Chinese people's mouths simply could not be kept from curling upward.
The little Japanese chickens invading China: Yamete kudasai!!!!
When they saw on the Celestial Screen that in the areas being filmed, every single house was transformed from immovable property into movable property under the impact of the seawater,
tears welled up in the corners of their eyes. They were fighting at the front lines, only to find their homes back home being submerged by the ocean.
Facing such natural disasters, they were utterly helpless.
Was this truly heaven punishing them, the little Japanese chickens?
Ise Omikami, Amaterasu Omikami, Emperor Meiji—
Why do you sit idly by and watch the seawater backflow without lifting a finger?
The little Japanese chickens suffered a collective, catastrophic mental breakdown.
