"Senior Wu Ling, the fragments of the ancestral land have been gathered. All we need to do is awaken our clansmen, and the Golden Crow Clan will have successfully revived!"
Wu Ling smiled calmly, looking at Zhen Ru with a smile and saying:
"It's all thanks to you."
"It was the senior's perfect strategy."
Seeing Zhenru's humility, Wuling stopped the conversation and simply nodded, saying:
"Then I'll lend you another hand."
Before Zhenru could understand what he meant, the Golden Crow Heart that she had put away flew automatically to Wuling's palm and slammed into Zhenru's heart with lightning speed.
"I give you my heart, and from now on it will be yours!"
"Take it, awaken your people, and send them back to their ancestral land. You will become the new patriarch of the Golden Crow Clan!"
Without giving Zhenru a chance to refuse, Wuling froze Zhenru's body, rapidly forming hand seals while simultaneously transmitting a message to Zhenru.
After he finished speaking, Wu Ling's hand seal gesture also ended.
Such behavior, which is almost like coercion, should be extremely offensive. It's like clutching your heart, but all you feel is a faint soreness in your nose.
"Senior, you gave me your heart, what about you?"
Wu Ling touched the area around her heart and smiled nonchalantly:
"You should have already noticed the increasingly strong demonic aura emanating from me, right?"
"Having coexisted with the demon for too long, I can no longer be separated from that demon."
Seeing the worry in Zhenru's eyes, Wuling interrupted her before she could offer any words of advice, nodded to the assembled officials, and said to Zhenru:
"Your residence is not restricted to any particular place. I will take you to the realm of gods now."
As she spoke, the dense demonic energy in her palm condensed and transformed into an ugly mask, covering her true face. Then, with a flick of her finger, she used another wisp of demonic energy to take Zhenru away, and they soared into the sky.
When Zhenru felt immense pressure, Wuling transformed her other hand into a claw and slashed fiercely towards the sky, creating an invisible crack in the barrier above their heads.
Wu Ling leaped upwards and plunged into the crevice.
As soon as she emerged from the crack, before Zhenru could even see her surroundings clearly, she felt a powerful force throw her out. She flew through the air for a long time due to inertia before she was able to successfully spread her wings and take control of her trajectory.
She turned around and tried to fly back the way she came, but in the next instant, she felt the earth and sky rumble and shake.
Looking up, I saw a continuous stream of people bathed in divine light rushing toward the direction from which I had been thrown.
"Whose little kid is this? Go home right now!"
"A great demon has descended upon the realm of gods; lest you get captured!"
A kind-hearted deity passing by flicked out a ray of divine light, sending Zhenru flying into the distance as a warning, before disappearing without a trace.
But after the god had walked a distance, he suddenly frowned, feeling as if he could smell the aura of the Golden Crow Clan.
Then the god shook his head and smiled, "How many years has the Golden Crow God Clan been wiped out?"
Where in the realm of gods would there be such a little golden crow?
It must be another variant.
Yes, that's it.
...
A quarter of an hour later, the god returned to the place where he had met Zhenru, but the god had vanished.
"Perhaps I am overthinking things."
With a sigh, the man finally left.
After hearing those words and being patted, Zhenru became alert and understood what Senior Wuling probably wanted to do.
She has neither the time nor the right to wallow in self-pity.
It was as if I were touching another beating heart in my chest, following its guidance, and running away at top speed.
She dared not waste even a moment.
Zhenru didn't know how much time Senior Wuling could buy for her, nor did she know if she could, if she were fast enough, give Senior Wuling a chance to survive.
In the realm of gods, everyone followed the Great Demon, truly going against the current.
The generals of the Golden Crow Clan also returned to the divine realm one by one, gathering in the direction of Zhenru and following behind her in a protective manner.
The aura of the Great Demon faded into the distance, as did the aura of the gods.
The direction that Zhenru and the generals went in became increasingly quiet and remote.
They traveled for an unknown amount of time, but in any case, they never heard any more news of the Great Demon along the way.
Until they reached the nearest city indicated by their heart, they heard thunderous cheers from within.
"The Great Demon has been defeated!!!"
"Very good!"
"Let those ugly demons dare to venture into the realm of the gods alone! Let them all never return!"
"No one will return! No one will return!"
Zhenru turned her head, glanced at the assembled generals, touched her heart which was beating more rapidly than usual, and murmured two words:
"On the road."
However, things still took an unexpected turn.
On the last fork in the road leading to the slumber of the Golden Crow tribe, the high and mighty deity looked down upon Zhenru and his generals with the eyes of someone looking at ants.
"Hmm, I didn't expect it to really be a little golden crow."
"The new prefectural general has been appointed, so the Golden Crow clan must be nearby, right?"
Zhenru remained silent, raised her hand to press down on the guards, and slowly retreated.
"What's wrong? Little Golden Crow wants to leave?"
"Okay, help me find your other tribesmen, and we'll let you go."
Upon hearing this, it was as if a flash of light had appeared before their eyes. They saw that two people who had blocked their way were gone. Turning around, they saw them blocking their path from behind.
Several of the officers immediately turned around and faced the remaining officers back to back.
"The Golden Crow Clan has been utterly destroyed by you bunch of scum!"
As if she had no other choice, she was preparing to curse and fight, but before she could finish speaking, she felt a powerful suction force that instantly pulled her away.
As if it had vanished into thin air, the generals of those palaces exchanged glances, and the divine palaces also disappeared without a trace.
Only those few roadblocks remained, staring at each other in bewilderment.
"Don't let me know who's ruining my plans!"
...
"It's me! Little Zhenru!"
As if his mind had cleared, he recognized the person in front of him. After thinking for a while, he pointed at the person with a complicated expression and said:
"You, you are Senior Si Qing?"
Except for his eyes, Si Qing, whose appearance had almost completely changed, turned around in front of Zhenru and said:
"It is me, it is me, the very one—the Dream God Si Qing."
As if suddenly realizing something, she was about to speak when she remembered something and immediately looked anxious and said:
"No, now is not the time for reminiscing."
As she turned to leave, Si Qing grabbed her arm and said with a smile:
"Of course I know what you're up to. Come with me!"
Seeing that Zhenru remained unmoved, Si Qing said with disdain:
“I descended to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation, and you can be considered my savior. Consider this my way of repaying your favor.”
After saying that, he added, half-jokingly and half-seriously:
"For the sake of today's relationship, I hope that when the Golden Crow returns, it won't turn its fire on my Dream Beast clan!"
If you nod your head, your promise must be solemn:
"The Golden Crow clan will never harm innocent bystanders."
Si Qing nodded and waved his sleeve in front of the two of them, saying:
"I remember."
The next instant, a cloud of mist enveloped Zhenru and fell towards the place where an entrance had been revealed, then the mist once again covered the entrance.
...
In the realm of gods, time seems endless, yet for some, each day feels like a year.
Until the withered Fusang tree sprouted up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
The world is dynamic and restless.
The land of the Golden Crow tribe, which had been trampled upon countless times, was restored to spring in a single day, and all living beings trembled.
The ancestral land of the Golden Crow has once again seen the light of day.
The death knell for the traitors of the divine realm has only just begun to toll.
