Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity

Chapter 314: Chapter 244: Upper Realm (1) (3rd update) _1

Now, an unknown number of years have passed since the two youngsters first crossed paths in the Vast Mountain Range. Currently, they have made the Western Region their home for over a decade.

In these years, the mountains and valleys saw several blooms, and a couple of dog litters were born to the old yellow dog at the entrance of the village. These years made Shi Hao think about the relentless passing of time and how things have changed.

Thankfully, everything from the past, every person, every affair, and every object is still present. He even found his biological parents. His life felt complete and splendidly fulfilled. The past was still as vivid as ever in his memories, while the future seemed promising!

“Brother, let’s negotiate. Can you change how you address me? I’m all grown up now, and I’m even the Human Emperor of an Ancient Country. If word about this peculiar mode of address gets out, people might ridicule me. If there’s no other way, ‘Little Rock’ is also okay, since you are a year or two older than me.”

Reining in his wandering thoughts, Shi Hao scratched his head and looked at Tu Wa Zi.

Unless his memory failed him, only this slightly older youngster in front of him addressed him by these words.

Others either called him by his full name or respectfully referred to him as Stone Emperor. The name ‘Little Dot’ has now become a symbol of a certain period in the past.

“Not an issue, Little Dot!” Tu Wa Zi nodded rapidly and candidly spoke. “From now on, I will call you Little Rock, Little Dot.”

“…” Shi Hao.

…

As the conversation continued, Gu Chen joined them.

They entered Stone Village and arrived at Little Dot’s old residence.

In this place filled with the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers, you feel a sense of peace amidst the serenity interrupted only by the whispering wind and bird songs. Stepping into this place makes it seem like you’ve suddenly arrived in a Pure Land. It’s truly amazing.

“Lord Willow God once set up a formation here, which could soothe the mind!”

Little Dot explained.

Tu Wa Zi and Gu Chen nodded right away.

In Stone Village, there was once a Sacrificial Spirit similar to Lord Willow God; he was also called Willow God and was quite mysterious and powerful.

They are all long-time friends who hadn’t met in years and once fought side by side. Despite being competitors, they had mutual respect for one another and endless stuff to talk about since they’re around the same age.

They chatted about past funny things, how Little Dot demonstrated his might, slaughtered the deity, and how he resurrected and started a second life.

Little Dot went on and on, recounting perilous moments with embellishments.

Every time he mentioned critical moments, Tu Wa Zi and Gu Chen gasped in amazement, feeling that Shi Hao was truly blessed and favored by fortune to have weathered through such circumstances.

They were all engrossed in conversation.

The conversation turned to their beloved girls.

At this point, Tu Wa Zi’s face turned unusually red. He recalled the War Goddess, the “fatty” with large breasts, her swaying figure as she walked past him under the bright sunlight…

Feeling like the most experienced among them, Tu Wa Zi was ready to make some comments. However, when he heard that Shi Hao had directly wrestled with someone while he hadn’t even held the girl’s hand and to this day, their conversations only included polite greetings like ‘hello, I am Tu Dequan’, Tu Wa Zi realized that he must urgently act on his life’s major event. He must somehow find his own spring.

In his view, he wasn’t young anymore. In a year or two, he would be considered an adult. In the Wilderness, most people of his age would have been married already, many even have toddlers who can toddle around.

The most critical fact is that Little Dot has an astonishing cultivation speed surpassing his. Although he might not be able to keep up with him in terms of Cultivation Realm, he could still try other aspects.

If he couldn’t catch up to Little Dot’s cultivation and his childbearing speed, he would always be left behind. He must learn how to overtake by cutting corners. It doesn’t matter what he overtakes; as long as he can overtake something, it’s his way to get ahead.

If Little Dot has two kids, he would have ten. He thought to himself that having many children to bring more fortune wasn’t a bad idea. When he gets back, he decided to ask Grandpa Village Chief to grant him a piece of Void Beast Skin.

This thing is faster than the scale horse, and it can even cross massive peaks within no time, arriving at Deer Academy as fast as possible.

“Little Rock, what are your plans now?”

Gu Chen asked.

They have all reached the Noble Realm, standing at the pinnacle of the Lower Realm. Any further progress would result in them igniting the Divine Flame, ascending to the supreme divine position, and transcending their mortal bodies.

“After some time, I should head to the Upper Realm. It’s a much bigger stage there, filled with greater opportunities and a promising future.”

Shi Hao said slowly. He had pondered his future plans for a long time, and after the Seven Gods warfare, he firmly decided to venture towards the Upper Realm.

If you don’t become a deity, you’ll forever remain as tiny as an ant.

If it weren’t for his reckless bravery, risking his life at every chance, he would have had no way to rival the Immortal Palace God Servant, who was only one realm higher than him. Yet, the servant had an irresistible power between each of his movements.

“Then it’s settled. We’ll meet again in the Upper Realm. Let’s drink and be merry. Until then, be it drunk or not, none of us will leave!”

Tu Wa Zi nodded. Grandpa Village Chief said that they would also head to the Upper Realm in the future. For this reason, Lord Willow God even used his great power to build a Heavenly Stairs that led to the Upper Realm. They could ascend whenever they wished.

“As we have agreed, see you in the Upper Realm. Let’s celebrate then, and no one leaves till they’re drunk!”

Shi Hao earnestly nodded his head.

At night, the chill lunar breeze gently washed away the hustle and bustle of the day. The fragrance of flowers was everywhere in the air, refreshing everyone’s heart.

At this moment, the once bustling Stone Village had quieted down.

The influential sects and beings that paid visits during the day had gradually withdrawn.

Presently, only the people of Liu Village were left.

Old man Lin lit a bonfire and even specially ordered people to hunt down several large Ferocious Beasts. After removing their furs and skins, they were roasted on the fire rack.

“Lord Lin, thank you for your immense kindness. My gratitude cannot be expressed in words. Liu Village sheltered and protected us in challenging times. I’d like to raise a toast to you!”

Shi Yun Feng, with his white hair, raised the wine cup in his hand towards Old man Lin as he spoke, laughing.

His voice was booming, echoing particularly loudly in the quiet night.

“What? Liu Village once helped and protected the people of Stone Village?”

Later on, upon hearing Shi Yun Feng’s words, King Peng and War King were taken by surprise, just before realizing that Liu Village never really ignored them. They had taken action to protect the people of Stone Village. Without their protection, Stone Village could have been slaughtered under the full onslaught of the Immortal Palace Servant.

They had followed Stone Emperor for quite some time now, and it was clear to them that Stone Village was crucial for the Human Emperor. Any accident there would lead him to live a lifetime of remorse.
