…
“War King, King Peng, you two must listen to me carefully, and follow the arrangements of Village Chief Lin when the time comes, without any resistance!”
Shi Hao spoke up, he, in a solemn and stern countenance, reminded the two of them.
These two were the people he trusted most in the Stone Kingdom, and he really did not want to see them come to a violent end.
Even though he had only been to Liu Village once, he was able to feel that the strength of that place far surpassed anyone’s imagination. Even the pressure from the Seven Gods of the Lower Realm was not a tenth as great as that of Liu Village.
If King Peng and War King were to continue being obstinate, things could really go wrong.
After all, this whole thing started because King Peng provoked them unilaterally, which he had already found out about on the way.
Even though War King spoke up for him, standing up for him though mistreated, he got one thing wrong from the very beginning. Liu Village never owed him anything, and he had no right to demand anything from Liu Village.
They had no obligation, let alone a duty, to help him out, to take the fall for him.
The Seven Gods specifically targeted him. If he doesn’t make a move, who else will?!
He had some connections with Liu Village. They could give him face this time, but that doesn’t mean they would do the same every time.
For many living beings in the Lower Realm, deities may seem aloof, unattainable, always aspired for but never reached. But for Liu Village, it’s just the way it is. If Liu Village moves against the Seven Deities, they would likely all bleed to death before even stepping into the Lower Realm.
After all, Liu village possesses the nearly extinct species of the Fairy King, which is a treasure that even Willow God covets. In the Upper Realm, even the overbearing beings might not possess such a prize.
What’s more, the mysterious being that protects Liu Village, although titled a deity, does not necessarily mean that they only have this level of power. Even Willow God can’t figure out their actual cultivation, and they are likely just as formidable, with the ability to reach the sky and enter the earth.
King Peng and War King are both loyal to him and genuinely want the Stone Kingdom to develop. If it were anyone else, he wouldn’t take the trouble to say this.
“Abide by the Iron Decree of the Stone Emperor!”
War King and King Peng looked at each other and nodded in the end.
They both sensed the seriousness in Shi Hao’s tone and were astonished.
Both of them knew well their emperor’s temperament, and such a command was likely due to the astonishing strength of Stone Village, even the Human Emperor himself might struggle to resist.
Though neither of them were afraid to die, they didn’t want to lose their lives in vain, either.
“What are you two waiting for? Since you’ve already agreed, keep your word. Reveal your original forms quickly. An old one like me will send someone to take you back to Liu Village. That mountain stone still needs to be mined!”
Old man Lin looked at War King and King Peng, his eyes flickering.
They had been talking big. They were forgiven for Little Rock’s sake, but they couldn’t escape punishment in life. The hard labor should be done first. Later, they would have to wait for Lord Willow God to personally judge.
“War King, King Peng, a hundred years hurried by. This is not just a test for you but also an opportunity!”
Shi Hao spoke, with a hint of heartfelt advice in his words.
He truly had their best interests at heart and cared deeply for them.
Liu Village was too mysterious, so mysterious that even the Willow God had never lifted its veils before his departure,
Even in Lower Realm, it could achieve such transcendence that not even the giants of the Upper Realm could detect its existence. It seemed to exist outside everything, unchanging with time.
This symbol of strength is not something that everyone can achieve.
You should know that even in the Upper Realm, the sect leader is considered one of the strongest beings.
Such immortality, with an incredibly long lifespan, is awe-inspiring. If combined with certain longevity substances, it can easily have a lifespan of millions of years, enduring like the stars, it is an existence beyond most beings’ imaginations.
In the blink of an eye, their divine sense can cover an entire domain, with nothing being able to escape the eyes of the sect master, even with formations in place.
Those who could reach the Sect Master Realm are almost always the among the strongest beings since the birth of Heaven and Earth.
Yet Liu Village has managed to do so. At the very least, three to four beings at the sect leader’s level have passed by the Wilderness Area in search of superior medicine.
In particular, there have been several major battles near the Fire Country, with the suspected involvement of top heads who are beyond the sect leaders. Their mere gestures made stars roll and the sun shattered a piece; mountains thousands of miles high instantly turned to dust, forming an abyss-like cliff, but even so, nobody noticed.
Before Willow God left, he had repeatedly told Shi Hao that the true strength of the village far exceeded anyone’s imagination, in some aspects even outdoing the top Taoist orthodoxy of the Upper Realm,
The sights already seen were shocking, with dozens of nobles marching together, but Shi Hao knew very well in his heart that this was definitely not the true power of Liu Village, but only the tip of the iceberg of their profound foundation.
In the face of such beings, complacency should never prevail unless they genuinely forgive you.
As soon as Shi Hao’s voice fell, War King and King Peng dared not slacken off and immediately reverted to their original forms, moving to the rear of the Liu Village’s team.
“My boy, you’ve become more and more handsome after such a long time apart…”
The tone of Old man Lin’s words changed, a smile emerged, as he looked at Little Dot.
Between the dappled shadows of the trees…
The youth looked resolute, tall and straight, his profile etched with sharp features like carved marble, striding against the chilly autumn wind from afar, and exuding a terrifying aura like the vast ocean, becoming the most eye-catching and brilliant presence the moment he arrived.
Because most of the beings and forces came for the youth, they wanted to see if he truly regained his vigor.
Innumerable beings looked his way, their eyes sparkling with interest and exclamations immediately followed.
“The rumors are indeed true. Even when burning himself and shattering all of the Supreme Bones and Cave Heaven, this young man truly lived for a second life.”
Some beings were whispering, their faces filled with shock.
“We must report this to The Venerable immediately. This naughty boy truly came back to life. The future of Stone Village and Stone Kingdom might be immeasurable. We’d better establish friendly relations as soon as possible. Even if we can’t cooperate together, we must not become enemies of the Stone Kingdom, otherwise, a great disaster will surely come!”
Upon seeing the familiar figure, some beings were greatly taken aback. They hadn’t witnessed Little Rock’s resurrection first-hand, but rushed over as soon as they heard the rumors, wishing to verify them.
Because this young man was extraordinary, chasing stars and the moon in the blink of an eye and slaying seven lofty deities with his mortal body. Such an achievement was unprecedented even in the more ancient eras.
If he truly lived a second life, this would certainly be earth-shattering news.
In the Lower Realm’s Eight Domains, regardless of the size of the force or the strength of the beings, all would be stirred up by this and would be greatly affected in unimaginable ways.
So, they needed to get the most accurate news as soon as possible, ideally with their own eyes.
That’s why there were constantly beings coming to Stone Village to pay a visit, making it even more spectacular than when Little Rock fell.
