Fang Xiu gently flicked his fingers, and the chains binding Xu Ruohai snapped instantly.
"I'm not here to kill you, I'm here to save you."
Xu Ruohai got out of bed, his expression extremely agitated: "Save me? I won't..."
Before he could refuse, Fang Xiu lied and said, "I can use time reversal to return your time to before you were born."
Xu Ruohai choked on his words, his eyes widening as he stared blankly at Fang Xiu: "Really...really?"
"Hmm." Fang Xiu nodded: "In return, you need to help me explore the secrets of this world and find a way to leave."
"I'm willing to do anything to turn back time if you can help me!"
"Very good. Get dressed and tidy up. Come with me to the Wilderness Royal Court."
Half an hour later, Xu Ruohai finally put on a complete set of clothes, and also washed up and trimmed his hair, vaguely showing the demeanor of his former demigod days.
However, his emaciated body and pale complexion, clearly indicating excessive indulgence, made him even more aptly named.
Then, a strand of Fang Xiu's hair suddenly grew longer, wrapped around Xu Ruohai, and carried him towards the Barbarian Royal Court.
He learned through fortune-telling that he should go east, and that's how he met Xu Ruohai. Clearly, this was a sign from fate, indicating that Xu Ruohai might be able to help him in the Taotie Divine Kingdom. So, he naturally had to carry him with him.
The two continued to travel through the clouds. With the speed boost of ten times, they reached the area of the Wilderness Royal Court in just one hour. However, this also meant that Fang Xiu's spiritual energy was losing at a tenfold faster rate.
At this point, he possessed less than 40% of his peak power.
Xu Ruohai seemed to sense Fang Xiu's power rapidly diminishing and said with some concern, "True God, your current condition seems rather unfavorable. Perhaps we should first cultivate the barbaric body-refining techniques and then proceed cautiously. I have the techniques practiced by the Barbarian Bull Village here, the Mighty Barbarian Bull Strength..."
Clearly, he fell into his cautious trap again. A person who felt that even a 98% chance of winning was slim, naturally wouldn't dare to take any risks.
Fang Xiu was the complete opposite; even if the odds of winning were only 10%, or even zero, he would risk his life.
"It's alright. Even if there are those who have reached the ultimate level of sublimation in the Barbarian Royal Court, they are only at the level of Immortal Lord. Even if I only have 10% of my strength left, I can easily kill such a person."
"But........"
"Shut up."
"Yes, Your Excellency, True God."
Fang Xiu looked down at the entire barbaric royal court from the clouds. At this moment, the sun was rising, and orange-red rays of light shone down from the clouds, illuminating a vast and desolate land.
Huge rocks and towering peaks, like sleeping behemoths, silently tell the story of time's vicissitudes. The undulating mountain ranges, like the spine of the earth, support the sky. The deep, steep valleys between the mountains seem to conceal countless secrets.
In the very heart of this land, there exists a magnificent city, its main body constructed of enormous stones. Through meticulous carving and assembly, these stones form towering city walls and majestic palaces. Ancient runes and patterns are carved on these megaliths, which seem to exude some mysterious power. This is none other than the Barbarian Royal Court!
In the center of the royal court, there is a huge square, on which stands a stone statue hundreds of feet tall, almost reaching into the clouds.
Upon seeing the stone statue, Xu Ruohai's expression changed drastically: "A statue of Taotie! The people of the Barbarian Royal Court actually worship Taotie! This is simply forgetting their ancestors!"
Your Excellency, it was impossible for humans to survive in the Taotie Divine Kingdom. These people must be subjects of an ancient god's kingdom. It was the ancient god's divine essence that resisted the devouring laws within the Taotie Divine Kingdom, which saved their lives. Otherwise, they would have been devoured by the Taotie Divine Kingdom long ago.
Unexpectedly, these people have started worshipping the Taotie; they are truly a bunch of uncivilized barbarians.
He already hated these barbarians, and now, seeing what they were doing, his heart was filled with murderous intent.
Fang Xiu suddenly thought of a question: "Won't these people's actions lead to a weakening of divine power?"
Xu Ruohai said angrily, "That's natural. Faith is also part of the power of the gods. If these people continue to believe, their divine status will become stronger and stronger under the nourishment of the power of faith. But what they are doing now is digging their own grave. When their divine status weakens to a certain extent, they will be unable to protect them. At that time, everyone will be devoured by Taotie."
Can faith nourish divinity?
Fang Xiu's heart stirred slightly. No wonder Yun Tianshen wanted to take the entire Yunzhou away so much; it seemed to be related to the power of faith.
Let's go.
He bent down and fell straight down from the sky.
Xu Ruohai was shocked: "Your Excellency, there is no need for us to force our way in. We can sneak in quietly to avoid a direct confrontation with the barbarian army. In my humble opinion, it is better to capture the king first and sneak in to find the barbarian king."
As the two continued their descent, piercing through layers of clouds, Fang Xiu gazed at the heavily guarded barbaric royal court and said calmly, "There's no need for that."
"Your Majesty, your power is precious; there's no need to waste it like this!"
"How can killing be considered a waste? This trip is destined to offend the Barbarian King, and even the entire Barbarian Land. At that time, they will all be enemies. If we don't kill more enemies before our strength is exhausted, do we have to wait until we lose all our strength before we kill them?"
Moreover, if you kill them severely once, they won't dare to retaliate later.
As soon as Fang Xiu finished speaking...
boom!
A loud crash echoed through the desolate royal court, and the two of them slammed heavily onto the ground like falling meteors.
