Chapter 702: Chapter 701: Loki’s Power Play on Amazon; Chu Sheng’s Reunion with an Old Acquaintance
After taking stock of all his gains,
Chu Sheng closed the system panel with satisfaction.
Next stop, the homeland of the Amazon Race.
If he delayed any longer, Asia would surely lose her patience.
Sure enough.
The moment they emerged from the East Japan Divine Domain,
Asia immediately took a step forward.
Her face flushed as she spoke.
"Great Xia mosquito, I already helped you take care of the Ancient Gods of East Japan."
"If you don’t come back to the Amazon with me right now, don’t blame me for what happens next!"
Looking at the serious expression on Asia’s face, Chu Sheng quickly conceded.
"Alright, alright, alright."
"We’ll go right now."
"Is that good enough for you?"
Of course, his real reason for going to the Amazon Race was for a fragment of the Map of Mountains and Rivers. ’I definitely can’t tell Asia that. Otherwise, this foolish girl would turn on me in an instant.’
「Meanwhile.」
Three uninvited guests had arrived at the Amazon Race’s settlement.
The reclusive Clan Leader of the Amazon Race, Yanoma, personally walked out of her wooden hut and came to the open space in the center of the village.
She first looked at Rhodes to her right.
Her voice was as cold as ice.
"Rhodes, how dare you bring outsiders in?!!"
"Have you forgotten the rules I set for you?!!!"
Rhodes felt the terrifying pressure of the Divine Realm emanating from Yanoma.
He subconsciously wanted to retreat.
But the person next to him, who wore a wide cloak that completely concealed their face, placed a hand on his shoulder.
Instantly, the Divine Realm pressure from Yanoma vanished without a trace.
It was as if it had never been there.
Rhodes let out a sigh of relief.
His back instantly straightened.
His tone, shedding its previous weakness, became firm.
"The White Eagle Empire has supported your Amazon Race for so long."
"We send you so many supplies every year."
"And what’s the result?"
"We asked you to deal with a single mosquito."
"Not only have you failed to kill it after all this time,"
"but the person you sent out turned around and helped the mosquito invade the East Japan Divine Domain."
"Were you sent to kill it or to help it?"
"Since your Amazon Race is unwilling to cooperate with our White Eagle Empire,"
"then we have no choice but to find a more powerful force to cooperate with."
Yanoma frowned.
She ignored Rhodes, who was acting like a buffoon.
Instead, she turned her gaze to the cloaked figure standing in the center of the three.
Her expression became incredibly grave.
"Loki of the Extreme North Divine Domain."
"What are you doing here in our Amazon Race’s lands?"
The cloaked figure chuckled.
He slowly removed the hood of his cloak,
revealing an incomparably handsome face tinged with a hint of sinister charm.
"I didn’t expect you’d still recognize me after ten thousand years."
"Clan Leader Yanoma’s memory is as good as ever."
Yanoma snorted coldly.
She didn’t speak.
Her gaze merely grew more vigilant.
’Loki is the God of Trickery from the Extreme North Divine Domain, and also the God of Time. His power is unfathomable, and his mind is incredibly meticulous. His coming here in person definitely means trouble.’
Loki paid no mind to Yanoma’s cold attitude.
He continued speaking.
"Of the sacred realms passed down from the Divine Revelation Era,"
"the East Japan Divine Domain is already gone."
"Of the Five Great Divine Domains, only four remain."
"Of the former ten Great Hidden Clans, only the Witch Race and your Amazon Race are left."
"We, the Four Great Divine Domains, have already formed an alliance to deal with Great Xia together."
"The Witch Race has already submitted to that mosquito from Great Xia."
"Now, it all depends on the attitude of your Amazon Race."
"Will you join us and destroy Great Xia together,"
"or will you become a running dog for that mosquito, just like the Witch Race?"
Yanoma’s brow furrowed even more tightly.
’Loki’s words contain a very clear signal: the divine war, dormant for tens of thousands of years, is about to begin again. Right now, there are only six factions on Blue Star with Divine Realm experts: the Four Great Divine Domains, the Amazon Race, and Great Xia. I can’t understand how Great Xia possibly cultivated a Divine Realm expert under the Forbidden God Law. But that doesn’t matter anymore. During the Divine Revelation Era tens of thousands of years ago, numerous factions united, wanting to destroy Great Xia. In the end, Immortal Venerable Shi Xi slapped them all down and ground them into the dirt. From then on, no faction ever dared to challenge Great Xia again. Ten thousand years ago, Immortal Venerable Shi Xi sacrificed herself to protect Blue Star. Now, these factions, having just become able to leave their Divine Domains, are already eager for revenge. Part of this is probably fear that the Great Xia mosquito, with its heaven-defying growth Speed, will become the second Immortal Venerable Shi Xi.’
In the blink of an eye, Yanoma had sorted through all her thoughts.
Although she had targeted the Great Xia mosquito before, the order she had given Asia back then wasn’t to exterminate it. She had only told Asia to test Chu Sheng’s strength.
Her true intention was simply to lead her people in living a peaceful and stable life. She had no desire to get involved in the disputes between the major factions.
But now, Loki had come to her doorstep, forcing her to pick a side.
She found this deeply resentful, yet she had no choice but to consider it carefully.
’In the entire Amazon Race, only two people could go head-to-head with a Divine Realm expert. One is me. The other is Asia. The Extreme North Divine Domain, however, has dozens of Divine Realm experts, not to mention their allies from the other three Divine Domains. It’s something the Amazon Race simply cannot contend with. If I refuse, the Extreme North Divine Domain will surely not spare the Amazon Race. If I agree... after the divine war is over, regardless of victory or defeat, how many people will be left in the Amazon Race?’
Yanoma found herself in a dilemma.
Just as Yanoma was hesitating,
three more...
no,
two uninvited guests entered the Amazon Race’s settlement.
It was Chu Sheng, Xue, and Asia.
Seeing the newcomers, Yanoma spoke in surprise.
"Asia, why did you bring the Great Xia mosquito here?"
Hearing this, Asia was completely stunned.
She scratched her head and said with an innocent look,
"Lady Yanoma, you told me to test the Great Xia mosquito’s strength."
"I couldn’t beat him, so I couldn’t test it out."
"So, I brought the Great Xia mosquito to you, so you could test him yourself?"
"Isn’t that what you meant?"
"That’s not what I meant."
Yanoma was just about to explain,
but was urgently interrupted by Chu Sheng.
"Lady Yanoma, none of that is important."
"Isn’t the problem you’re facing right now the Loki standing before you?"
After Chu Sheng’s interruption, Yanoma did indeed refocus her attention on Loki.
Chu Sheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. ’I went through so much trouble to trick Asia into bringing me to the Amazon Race. I can’t be exposed so quickly, not before I’ve even seen the fragment of the Map of Mountains and Rivers. Thankfully, Yanoma has more important things on her mind right now and doesn’t have time to argue with Asia about this.’
Chu Sheng’s gaze slowly swept over the three people who had arrived before them.
Needless to say, Rhodes was an old acquaintance. They had crossed paths before in the Himalayas.
This was his first time seeing Loki, the God of Time from the Extreme North Divine Domain.
Chu Sheng’s eyes lit up slightly. ’I wonder how much Time Law Comprehension I can absorb from him. If I could suck him dry, my Time Law might just grow by another chunk.’
As for the last person...
Chu Sheng froze for a moment.
Then, a brilliant smile spread across his face.
’Isn’t this an old friend?’
"Xia Hanshan."
Chu Sheng spoke slowly, his tone laced with a hint of amusement.
"You have no idea how hard this Lord Mosquito has been looking for you!"
