Chapter 293: Chapter 228: The Tomb Buried the Gods (I) (First update) _1
Little Dot wore a solemn expression, taking a moment to consider before nodding at Shi Yun Feng.
He had once visited Liu Village with the Willow God, and he knew all too well the mystery and terror of that place. It was suffused with an ancient aura, unpredictable and enigmatic, shrouded in a layer of fog that couldn’t be seen through.
Isolated yet proudly independent from the world, it was extraordinary and free from common desires. If it ever came out into the world, it would undoubtedly hold an unimaginable position.
Although the villagers were not many, every one of them was as remarkable as a dragon. Particularly the young boys and girls, in their golden, glorious period of life, already had robust and magnificent vitality despite their tender age. Their foundations were all solid, not the least inferior to the proud young elites in the Upper Realm.
Even more so, many of them exuded an aura that belonged to an extreme realm.
This was horrifying.
Because even the youngsters of the ancient beasts and divine-rank fierce birds might not be able to attain such a state and realm.
Being able to reach this extreme realm implied a large possibility of journeying even further in the future, climbing the Great Taoist path. They could truly compete against the most powerful young elites.
This was the most astonishing part.
If it was just one person, it could be said to be a prodigious talent. But there were far too many like this in that village.
With just a rough look, he had discovered at least ten people. Such an astronomical number was impossible even for the Great Sects in the Upper Realm.
The elderly in the village, despite their age, looked as robust as young men, vibrant and full of vitality, without any trace of decay.
What stunned him the most, however, was the profound background of the village.
It far exceeded his imagination in its depth. Just a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg was enough to shock the world and drive countless people into a frenzy.
Even he could not help but covet.
All kinds of powerful Treasured Techniques, treasure medicinal plants that had already gone extinct in the Lower Realm, countless powerful Spirit Pets and Pure Blood Spirit Flesh…
Any single one of these could not be measured in value by a Pure Wall, and each was enough to stir up a storm of bloodshed.
Even more so, the existence of a True Dragon, an immortal being said to have already gone extinct, was present.
It was a supreme being, ranking first among the Ten Evil, with an evolution that had reached its peak. Honored by all of Heaven and Earth, upon reaching adulthood, it could step into a supreme realm, cause tremors in all directions, possess a Flawless Body, and be free from any hidden dangers.
He remembered clearly, even the Willow God was unable to remain calm at the time…
“Grandfather, if a disaster truly occurs, you must lead the villagers through the formation left behind by Willow God at once,” Shi Hao admonished.
As the anomaly in the sky grew brighter, a feeling of unease deepened within him.
This was a feeling he had never experienced before.
He knew in his heart that this ultimate calamity was likely targeting him, and possibly all the creatures in the Lower Realm. Even the mundane world may not escape this; all are within the calculations of those giants in the Upper Realm.
When that time comes, it may cause bodies to be scattered everywhere and countless creatures to be burnt alive.
“And what about you, child?” Said Shi Yun Feng, pursing his lips, a worried tone creeping into his voice.
He had lived for many years and has seen many storms, so he clearly understood the hidden meanings behind Shi Hao’s words.
“I can’t hide. The Stone Kingdom still needs me to defend it!” Little Dot said.
Some things do not allow a choice to be made. He would not run away, even if it meant his certain death.
As the ruler of the Stone Kingdom, if even he chose to hide, then who would protect the common people?!
If he were not in this position, it would be different, but since he is the Human Emperor, he must bear the responsibilities that he ought to bear.
“Ah…”
Shi Yun Feng opened his mouth to speak, but then bit off his words, and in the end, all that he could convey was a deep sigh.
He initially wanted to suggest that the people of the Stone Kingdom also go seek refuge in the mysterious Liu Village. However, he thought about how unrealistic that idea was.
Not to mention, it was unknown whether the Great Being of Liu Village would agree.
Even if they did agree, the Stone Kingdom was at least hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from here.
How could the weak save themselves over such a great distance? How could normal people possibly traverse the steep, towering mountains to get here? Most likely, they would be chewed up by ferocious beasts along the way, suffering heavy casualties.
Even if Little Dot was powerful, he might not be able to take care of everyone when the time comes.
Because the entire Kingdom was too large, with at least more than a billion people combined. It was impossible to take care of everyone. Moreover, going by their speed, the calamity would have already descended by the time they got to this place.
“Rest assured, my child. If a crisis does occur, I will lead the villagers to that mysterious mountain village at the first moment,” Shi Yun Feng said, nodding after a moment of thinking, accepting Little Dot’s suggestion.
He knew the urgency of the situation, so even if he was worried about Shi Hao’s safety, he had to agree first.
The other party was not only the child of the Stone Village but also the ruler of the Stone Kingdom. He had too much to protect as the King of a Nation, which made Shi Yun Feng rather distressed.
“And, Grandfather, please don’t mention this to my parents,” Shi Hao said immediately afterward.
He had found his parents’ whereabouts not long ago and had successfully met them, with Little Tower’s assistance. Now, the couple, Qin Yining and Shi Ziling, were in the village.
However, to avoid causing them worry, Little Dot had come here secretly. He had directly sought out Shi Yun Feng without alerting anyone else, lest his parents got wind of his intent and disapproved.
