Xu Ruohai looked at the two figures, one large and one small, standing together in front of him, and for some reason, he had a strange feeling. He even thought that if he were Fang Xiu, he would definitely reach out and pat little Fang Yao's head, and gently tell her, "I'm fine."
That scene must have been very heartwarming.
However, the real Fang Xiu said: "You are too weak. You are not qualified to fight alongside me now."
Fang Yao didn't say anything. She silently turned around and left, going to a secluded corner to begin cultivating the Barbarian God Technique.
In fact, she had been cultivating all this time. Although she had been imprisoned for ten years and her body had not fully recovered, the foundation of Nuwa's bloodline was too strong. In just a few days, Fang Yao's cultivation results were even equivalent to several years of cultivation for an ordinary person. However, it was still not enough. Facing the behemoth that was Canglan Kingdom, she was not even an ant.
Xu Ruohai walked over: "Your Excellency, isn't this too cruel to her? After all, she..."
"And you, as a demigod, haven't you even managed a single ascension? You've been running away your whole life, do you still want to run away now?"
Xu Ruohai remained silent, clenching and unclenching his fist: "Thank you for your teachings, True God. I understand now."
He also went to cultivate.
Fang Xiu went to great lengths to ensure that his tools could improve their strength. In this world, having lost all their power, and having to contend with the most powerful Canglan Kingdom, they needed sufficient strength.
In fact, he was not worried about the Canglan Kingdom. With the Taotie's mouth, he could kill as many of these rabble as they came. What really concerned him was Nuwa's divine status.
The descendants of Nuwa possess the power to control divine status, which is the fundamental reason why the Canglan Kingdom maintains its rule. And since the Canglan Kingdom's emperor was able to kill the empress, he may now have the power to control divine status.
That's the divine essence of Nuwa, which is on a completely different level from the likes of Ba Hui and Taotie. The power that such a divine essence can unleash is probably something that even a demigod couldn't withstand.
If his spirituality hadn't disappeared, there might have been a chance to maneuver, but now he is utterly powerless against Nuwa's divine essence.
The only uncertainty is to what extent the emperor of Canglan Kingdom can control the divine essence of Nuwa.
Afterwards, Fang Xiu also went to cultivate. The only way to improve his strength as much as possible was to have a chance to seize Nuwa's divine status in the future.

The Royal Palace of Canglan Kingdom.
On the enormous golden dragon throne, Ling Xinghe, dressed in a dragon robe, listened to his subordinates' reports with a gloomy expression.
"Useless! They're all useless! Five Grandmasters from the Heavenly Ranking were defeated by one person! And this person's strength has only just entered the Grandmaster realm!"
The subordinate kneeling on the ground was sweating profusely and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I suspect that the person may possess the power of the Taotie God, otherwise it would be impossible for him to fight five people at once. Please give me another chance. This time, I will contact Liu Rufeng, the number one sword saint on the Heavenly Ranking. He has already touched the edge of ultimate sublimation and will definitely be able to complete the mission."
The Emperor of Canglan Kingdom sneered: "What if the Sword Saint also loses?"
The subordinate thought for a moment and said, "Then let's send General Long. General Long has already reached the pinnacle of his abilities. If he takes action, apart from Your Majesty, there is no one in the world who can rival him!"
Emperor Canglan continued with a cold laugh: "What if General Long also loses?"
Even the most clueless subordinate would realize something was wrong; cold sweat dripped down his back, and his body began to tremble: "That...that..."
Knock knock knock!
He began to kowtow frantically: "Your Majesty, I am incompetent! Your Majesty, I am incompetent! Please punish me!"
"You are indeed incompetent. Knowing that the other party has just obtained the power of the Taotie God, you still think of sending people to test them again and again. Do you know how far it is from Canglan Kingdom to the Wilderness Royal Court? How much time will it take for this round trip? Do you have to give the other party enough time to grow through repeated failures?"
Then, with the aid of the Taotie divine power, he will achieve ultimate sublimation, fully mature, and even Ling Yao will mature, ultimately coming to Canglan Kingdom to assassinate the king?
The subordinate was terrified and kowtowed frantically until his forehead was covered in blood and gore.
"Your humble servant deserves to die! Your humble servant deserves to die! Your humble servant will immediately contact the Sword Saint and General Qin, and have them bring ten thousand elite troops, no... also the palace guards, the imperial experts, and the Grandmasters of the Heavenly Ranking, and have them kill this fiend together, giving him no chance to breathe!"
"No need," the Emperor of Canglan suddenly said in a deep voice, "I will personally lead the army!"
The subordinate was instantly horrified: "Your Majesty, you mustn't! You are of inestimable worth; how can you personally lead the army to deal with mere bandits? You should let this humble servant... ah!"
Before he could finish speaking, he was struck as if by an invisible force, sent flying backward and crashing heavily into a massive stone pillar in the palace, spitting out blood.
However, he disregarded his injuries and immediately got up the moment he fell, kneeling trembling on the ground to await the emperor's punishment.
"If I relied on you useless fools, my empire would have been finished long ago! Remember, even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. The power of the Taotie and the bloodline of Nuwa are two dangerous things that have now come together. I will absolutely not give them any chance to grow!"
Now that those few good-for-nothings have tested this person's strength, it's the best opportunity to eliminate him!
"Go, convey my order: assemble 100,000 Imperial Guards to accompany me on my conquest of the barbarians!"

........
One month later.
The barbarian royal court is no longer a ruin; many buildings have been rebuilt on it, and barbarians can be seen working everywhere.
These barbarians were all subdued by Xu Ruohai, whom Fang Xiu sent. He gave Xu Ruohai a slow-acting poison, and then used it to control the chieftains of dozens of small villages, thus gathering a group of forces.
He now commands tens of thousands of barbarians, whose daily tasks consist of collecting highly poisonous substances, collecting five-colored stones, and selflessly dedicating their lives to the true god.
Through the united efforts of the many barbarians, the true god they worshipped finally underwent a second ascension.
With the continuous supply of colorful stones and rare treasures, Fang Xiu spent nearly a month completing his second physical transformation.
This is the monstrous aspect of the Taotie's maw: as long as there are enough resources, it can devour endlessly and grow wildly. Of course, there is a prerequisite: Fang Xiu's own foundation must be deep enough to withstand such devouring.
However, the only thing that Fang Xiu was dissatisfied with was that after his second sublimation, his physical level was still at the sixth level, infinitely close to the seventh level of the law, but he was still unable to condense the law of life like the ultimate sublimation.
He guessed that it was due to the rules of the Nuwa Divine Kingdom. Perhaps only by reaching the ultimate sublimation could one condense the laws of life. He himself was only able to achieve this because his foundation was too profound, and he already possessed the physique of the fifth-order peak. Therefore, after one sublimation, he could be comparable to the four-time sublimation beings in this world.
It is worth mentioning that during this period, Xu Ruohai and Fang Yao also completed their first sublimation.
