"This really isn't my fault. It's mainly because for over a thousand years, those who could become Divinity are few and far between. The last one was probably the Sea God, right?" Xiao Ze said with a bitter smile.
"That is indeed the case." Bo Saixi nodded.
"So, does that mean we are the first ones in a thousand years?" Huo Wu asked, somewhat surprised.
She wasn't really clear about matters concerning Divinity before, as her family didn't have any books about Divinity.
"You could say that. And the situation of so many of us achieving Divinity together at that time will probably be a one-time event." Xiao Ze nodded.
"Don't say it, this feeling actually seems pretty good." Huo Wu said, delighted.
"As long as you like it."
A few days later, the others hadn't returned, indicating they were still working hard outside.
Xiao Ze groggily opened his eyes and found Qian Renxue sitting by his bed, staring at him unblinkingly.
He was startled, almost springing off the bed: "Big sis, how did you get in?"
"This is my home. I can come in whenever I want." Qian Renxue's lips curved into a faint smile.
"But I was sleeping!" Xiao Ze scratched his hair helplessly.
Qian Renxue didn't reply. Instead, she slowly leaned closer, and then directly straddled his lap, pressing him firmly beneath her.
Xiao Ze was taken aback by her sudden action, wanting to get up but being pressed down, unable to move.
Looking at Qian Renxue's burning golden eyes, he involuntarily swallowed: "You… what do you want to do?"
Qian Renxue's gaze was dangerous yet alluring, like a beast eyeing its prey, making his heart pound.
He felt as if she was going to devour him.
"Do you feel like there's something you haven't done?" Qian Renxue suddenly asked.
"Something I haven't done?" Xiao Ze was bewildered. Did he still have something to do now?
It seemed like there was nothing left besides the God Trial.
Seeing Xiao Ze like this, Qian Renxue knew this guy had forgotten. How annoying!
Anger instantly flared in Qian Renxue's heart.
"Xiao Ze, it seems I gave you too much face before!" Qian Renxue's sudden anger made Xiao Ze even more confused.
Xiao Ze cautiously said, "I don't think I've offended you, have I? Are you… on your period? Do you want some hot water?"
Qian Renxue naturally knew what Xiao Ze was talking about, her pretty face flushed slightly, making her even angrier.
"Damn it! Since you don't know, don't blame me."
Qian Renxue suddenly leaned down, firmly pressing Xiao Ze onto the bed, using her body weight to completely restrain his movements.
Her spirit power flowed through her fingertips, instantly forming two light ropes that tightly bound Xiao Ze's wrists to the bedpost.
Only then did Xiao Ze realize what Qian Renxue was referring to.
He was a bit embarrassed, not expecting to have forgotten such an important matter and even having Qian Renxue take the initiative.
"I remembered that thing… How about you let me go and let me take the lead?" Xiao Ze tentatively suggested.
Qian Renxue completely ignored his suggestion.
She began to act on her own, her hands seemingly very skilled.
Xiao Ze helplessly gazed at the bright morning light outside the window.
Starting such things in broad daylight, isn't that inappropriate?
But feeling the'salty pig hands' below, he could only sigh resignedly.
Actually, Xiao Ze even found this quite flavorful.
It was quite interesting… Looking at the sun, it seemed to be high noon.
Bright sunlight streamed through the sheer curtains, filling the bedchamber.
Xiao Ze turned to look at the sleeping Qian Renxue beside him. Her fair cheeks still carried an un-faded blush, and her eyelashes were damp and stuck together, clearly showing traces of tears.
He reached out and pulled her closer, gently wiping away her tear marks with his thumb.
In her sleep, Qian Renxue unconsciously snuggled into his arms, letting out a kitten-like whimper.
Looking at her like this, Xiao Ze couldn't help but recall her earlier domineering appearance, finding it somewhat amusing.
A hint of helplessness and doting amusement filled his eyes.
"She truly lives up to being the Angel God; she has to be domineering in everything she does."
...A small village in Heaven Dou City.
Under the scorching sun, the dilapidated village was deadly silent, with only a strong smell of blood lingering in the air.
"Is this the place?"
"That's right, it's this small village. This small village is the most tragic." One person nodded.
Several figures cautiously moved between the houses, occasionally stepping on solidified, blackened bloodstains.
Villagers' bodies were scattered along the dirt road, in various postures, all frozen in their terrified expressions from before death.
An old man lay face up by the well, his cloudy eyes staring at the sky, his hand still tightly clutching half of a broken hoe handle.
Beneath a collapsed thatched hut lay the body of a woman, who, even in death, maintained the posture of protecting the infant in her arms.
But the tiny body was already cold.
Seeing this scene, the few people frowned deeply.
"Damn it! How could a Spirit Master be so despicable? We must catch him and give them justice!"
"That's right, we must find the murderer and let His Highness the Saint kill him!"
Everyone was filled with righteous indignation.
Even in battles between Spirit Masters, such massacres wouldn't happen!
To ruthlessly kill ordinary people like this, not even sparing infants, this Spirit Master was simply a beast.
A faint sound suddenly came from one spot.
The Spirit Masters immediately became serious.
The leading Spirit Master made a gesture, and everyone immediately held their breath and gathered around.
As the strongest male Spirit Master gently pushed aside the damp straw, a cold gleam suddenly slashed out.
He reacted extremely quickly, grabbing the incoming cleaver with his bare hands, and said in a deep voice, "Calm down!"
They discovered a girl of about ten years old curled up there. She was dressed in rags, her pale face covered in dirt, and her overly wide eyes were filled with fear and despair.
The only female Spirit Master in the group slowly squatted down and gently opened her arms: "Don't be afraid, we are Spirit Masters of the Spirit Empire."
Upon hearing the words Spirit Empire.
The girl froze for a moment, then suddenly burst into tears, her small body trembling violently: "Mommy is dead… Daddy was killed too… I'm the only one left in the family…"
The female Spirit Master gently hugged her, feeling the child's thin spine intensely rising and falling under her palm.
All the Spirit Masters silently lowered their heads, with only the girl's heartbreaking cries echoing.
After a long while, the girl fell asleep.
The female Spirit Master slowly picked her up.
"Let's go. She's the only survivor here. She must know what happened here. We should hurry back to Spirit Hall and hand the girl over to His Highness the Saint."
"Alright!"
