This cave mansion, as a division of the Life Mother River and about to recruit new members, now has a Primal Chaos Realm entity temporarily presiding over it. The entity from the Primal Chaos Realm, perched there with a nine-segmented tail slowly swaying, had emerald green eyes filled with unease, “Did Luo He himself order this?”
He didn’t take Yuan seriously — after all, Yuan was just a newly promoted entity from the Primal Chaos Realm who became a guest elder of the Flame Wind Ancient Country through connections with Luo He.
But Luo He, the Godly King, was an overlord who could directly contend with the Emperor of Tian Kun.
“God King Bei Feng.” The entity from the Primal Chaos Realm immediately sent a message upward, “This former guest elder, by the command of Luo He, ordered us to retreat from the surrounding twenty Primal Chaos Prefectures.”
“Luo He? Neither the Shi Kingdom nor the Yu Kingdom dare to be our enemies, and he dares? I’ll handle this.”
“Yes.” The entity from the Primal Chaos Realm breathed a sigh of relief.
Luo He could extinguish him with just a breath, and the pressure was indeed great — best to leave such matters to higher-ups.
…
Yuan stood in the plaza, after proclaiming the command of the city lord, and the whole cave mansion fell silent, not responding with a single word.
“A minor division should not have the authority to decide whether to retreat, probably reporting upward,” Yuan patiently waited.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a terrifying energy descended from the void, transforming into a figure with emerald hair and a robust build. His presence alone seemed to alter the rules of the surrounding heavens and earth, with endless winds blowing in all directions.
This figure with emerald hair, his beard lush and eye piercing, looked at Yuan: “The former guest elder? I’ve heard about you. Luo He values you highly and helped you secure the position of guest elder in the Flame Wind Ancient Country.”
“It’s the God King Bei Feng,” Yuan recognized him right away, as the other did not conceal his identity, and immediately smiled, “As a newly promoted Primal Chaos Realm entity, it is indeed quite fortunate to have become a guest elder in the Flame Wind Ancient Country.”
“Let’s get straight to the point,” the God King Bei Feng said, “Luo He wants us to completely withdraw the Life Mother River from these twenty Primal Chaos Prefectures? That’s impossible! The Life Mother River has spread across many territories, and it was here before the Shi Kingdom and the Yu Kingdom were even established.”
“No matter who founded the kingdom!” the God King Bei Feng looked at Yuan, “they have no right to prohibit our recruitment of members.”
“If it’s a small recruitment, we wouldn’t mind,” Yuan said, “but you are recruiting all over each of the twenty locations and even filtering out the most elite, taking them all away without even notifying my lord the city lord—isn’t that excessive?”
“One recruitment per city every thousand years, is that too much?” the emerald-haired figure said, “Not really. As for notifying? Your city lord should inquire a little, and he should know who we are! He should know… he cannot provoke our Life Mother River!”
“Alright, hurry up and scram.”
The emerald-haired figure sneered at Yuan, “Don’t think that by being evenly matched with the Emperor of Tian Kun, you can provoke our Life Mother River!”
Yuan sighed softly.
Suddenly—
In the plaza of this cave mansion, an immense and invisible force descended, a tremendous power of the world, completely suppressing the aura fluctuations of the emerald-haired figure.
“Hm?” The expression of the God King Bei Feng changed slightly.
A figure clad in silver appeared next to Yuan.
He, dressed in silver, with a sharp horn on his forehead and a cool gaze, was none other than Luo He, the Godly King of towering fame in the Land of Origin.
“Luo He himself came?” God King Bei Feng stared at Luo Feng.
Silver-clad Luo Feng, seemingly ordinary in aura, but the endless world around him was filled with his power of the world, he looked at the God King Bei Feng, his voice very calm, “God King Bei Feng, are you so arrogant in my territory?”
The God King Bei Feng’s aura subsided, much more solemn, as the spreading power of the world oppressed him too strongly.
“Greetings to City Lord Luo.” The God King Bei Feng said politely.
“You should know my intent,” Luo Feng said, “Give me an answer from your Life Mother River. Withdraw, or not!”
Without hesitation, the God King Bei Feng shook his head, “Our Life Mother River has rooted here for eons; it’s impossible to withdraw. City Lord Luo… although you are exceptionally talented, you should know which existences in the Land of Origin you cannot provoke.”
“I am well aware of the reputation of the Mother River,” Luo Feng said with a smile.
“Knowing that, you still dare to drive our Life Mother River away?” the God King Bei Feng said angrily.
“Asking one last time,” Luo Feng looked at him calmly, “Do you withdraw, or not?”
God King Bei Feng angrily said, “Luo He, don’t invite disaster upon yourself!”
Luo Feng gently shook his head.
Boom—
Endless power of the world converged, enveloping the body of the God King Bei Feng.
The true body of Luo Feng’s world power was sufficient to cover the range of eighteen Primal Chaos Prefectures, and when most of that power converged in one place, the level of oppression was imaginable! The God King Bei Feng felt oppressed and bounded everywhere he turned.
“How dare you!” the God King Bei Feng cried out in shock and rage, yet found that even with his strong power at the First Realm of the Godly King, he couldn’t struggle at all.
“I gave you face, allowing you to withdraw, and you didn’t. So now I’ll just drive you away!” Luo Feng’s eyes turned cold.
Boom!!!
The might of the world power swiftly surged, terrifying the God King Bei Feng.
“You’ll regret this,” the God King Bei Feng stared at Luo Feng, as his body under terrifying might was compressed and shattered, turning to dust.
“Just a small lesson,” Luo Feng said calmly.
Mere destruction of a true body was indeed just a lesson. The God King Bei Feng had come prepared for the talks to break down and had not brought any treasures.
Yuan watched the entire process, and only after the true body of the God King Bei Feng was annihilated did Yuan speak, “Luo He, the Life Mother River is not easy to provoke, right?”
“Rest assured,” Luo Feng said with a smile.
He was well aware of the depths of the Life Mother River.
“What do we do now?” Yuan looked around, sensing some internal members of the Life Mother River still present in the cave mansion, but they were all eternal true gods.
“Wait,” Luo Feng said.
…
In the Land of Origin, a hidden world opened up, also known as the ‘Mother River World.’
Here, creatures thrived and reproduced; eternal true gods, Primal Chaos Realm dwellers, and Godly Kings cultivated here, making it the true core of the Mother River’s power.
“This Luo He is too arrogant! He completely disregards our Life Mother River,” the Divine Power Incarnation of God King Bei Feng roared furiously in indignation. “In the Land of Origin, what is a Luo He worth?”
“I heard he can rival Tian Kun with his strong life force.” Distant figures relaxed nearby, among them, a towering figure suddenly stood up, revealing a smile, “Let me test him to see how many moves his body can withstand from me.”
“Zongfu, there is no need for you to make a move for such a trifle,” said others.
“Zongfu, leave this matter to me,” another offered.
The surrounding Godly Kings all prevented him.
God King Zongfu, next only to the ‘Master of the Mother River’ in the Life Mother River’s forces, and even in terms of frontal combat prowess, was on par with the Master of the Mother River, whose methods were even more profound and inscrutable.
“I will handle this matter myself,” a voice said.
The multitude of Godly Kings turned to look, seeing a figure in a black robe that seemed to merge with the world around him.
All the gathered Godly Kings stood up and paid their respects.
“Master of the Mother River.”
“Zongfu.”
“Big brother Zongfu.”
The Godly Kings called him by different names, but all very respectfully.
“Zongfu, are you going to meet him yourself?” the towering ‘God King Zongfu’ asked.
“This Luo He is currently of average strength,” the man in the black robe said with a smile. “But in the future, he might influence the order of the Land of Origin. It is time to meet him.”
God King Zongfu nodded slightly.
The two of them were friends who had reached this pinnacle together. The core of the entire Life Mother River’s power was these two!
…
In the square inside the cave mansion, the silver-clad Luo Feng stood waiting, Yuan beside him.
“He’s here,” Luo Feng sensed, within the range covered by the Power of the World, a force that followed causality and appeared instantaneously on the square, teleporting from a distant place directly in front of Luo Feng.
This was a man in a black robe, his smile carrying endless charm, imbued with boundless life force, and also shrouded in mystery.
“Master of the Mother River ‘God King Zongfu’?” Luo Feng looked at him.
“It seems your mentor has told you all about me,” the man in the black robe said with a smile.
“The most powerful servant of the Flame Wind Ancient Country,” Luo Feng said. “How could I not know?”
In the early days of the Flame Wind Ancient Country, ‘Emperor Yan’ was the first Emperor of the Flame Wind Ancient Country.
At that time, the Imperial Clan had only three members in the Second Realm of Godly King and five Guest Elders in the Second Realm of Godly King! The most powerful among them was none other than ‘God King Zongfu,’ who fought battles far and wide for the Ancient Country.
In that era, the prowess of God King Zongfu was almost unrivaled.
“Indeed.”
The man in the black robe said wistfully, “Back then Emperor Yan relied heavily on me. As a Guest Elder God King, I chose to fully join the Flame Wind Ancient Country and devoted myself to serving it. But, you see the result.”
“Because my weapon was too powerful, Emperor Yan mobilized the entire force of the Flame Wind Ancient Country to eliminate me,” the man in the black robe scoffed. “He truly couldn’t stand having a servant stronger than himself! I didn’t have as many resources; I’m not an Ultimate Realm Life Form… It was simply that my own realm was high enough that just possessing a formidable weapon allowed me to rival him. He couldn’t tolerate me any longer.”
The man in the black robe looked at Luo Feng, “Luo He, your potential is maybe even greater than mine. Do you think, in the future, they will tolerate you?”
“At least for now, my mentors are gracious to me,” Luo Feng said.
Luo Feng was well aware of the power of the person before him.
In the whole Land of Origin, according to his mentor’s intelligence, there were only five individuals who could challenge Emperors and Monarchs from the Second Realm of Godly King.
They were the Wind Capital Empress, the Earth God King, a mysterious powerhouse from the Shadow Sky Realm, Fire Ancestor, and the Master of the Mother River before him.
The Wind Capital Empress and Fire Ancestor were relatively detached.
The Earth God King… having a great enmity with the Thunder Ancient Country, usually acted alone, only joining the Reincarnation Tower because of a close relationship with the Wind Capital Empress.
The figure from the Shadow Sky Realm was very mysterious; even the two Ancient Countries were unclear about his real identity.
The Master of the Mother River, whose true identity was ‘God King Zongfu,’ had fought against the Flame Wind Ancient Country countless times. Many Godly Kings with grudges against the Flame Wind Ancient Country joined the ‘Life Mother River,’ gradually strengthening it.
The two Ancient Countries, three top-tier forces, and five supreme powerhouses — these were the entities that decided the order of the Land of Origin.
Forces like the Two Realms Palace, Wanfa Tower, and Time-Space Lonely Boat, because they were led by Alien race powerhouses comparable to the two ancestors, were very tricky; they didn’t seek to change the order of the Land of Origin, only aiming for some resources left by Yuan.
None of the five supreme powerhouses had joined the three forces established by the Alien race.
“You’re right, they are currently gracious to you,” the man in the black robe looked at Luo Feng and smiled, “Let’s consider today our first acquaintance. You asked me to leave your twenty Primal Chaos Prefecture domains. I agree, I will have them leave immediately.”
“I believe that in the future… we may have a day when we join forces,” the man in the black robe said with a smile before disappearing into thin air.
Luo Feng stood in the square, frowning slightly.
In the future, will we join forces?
