Chapter 372: Chapter 174 If the Public Doesn’t Abandon_2

Everyone chuckled lightly, without further discussion about the topic.

However, a hint of concern lingered in their hearts, seemingly due to the uncertainty of the future.

Meanwhile, Qi Qi was enjoying her pig’s head meat, occasionally stealing glances at Qi Yuan who was also feasting.

"Xiao Xue, what do you think of him?" Qi Qi asked in a hushed tone.

Her mouth smeared with grease, Xiao Xue struggled to hide the satisfaction from the best meal she had had in a long time, "He really is a great benefactor!"

Anyone who treats her with exquisite food and drink was indeed a gracious benefactor, a great, good-fellow to her.

"He appears unruly and blatant, but in reality, he is extremely perceptive. A few simple sentences from him had almost led me to spill my entire background." Qi Qi reminisced about their prior conversation, perceiving Qi Yuan to be profoundly unfathomable.

If Qi Yuan knew what Qi Qi was thinking, he would certainly cry out in grievance.

"Wisdom!" Xiao Xue praised while munching on her roasted pork.

Qi Qi continued, "I heard he slayed the newly ascended gods of Shijia Village and Chenxi Village single-handedly."

"Courageous, Powerful!" Without considering much, Xiao Xue immediately chimed in.

This pork is so tasty; one must eat it every day.

"Should I give him the Yin Stone?" Qi Qi secretly glanced at Qi Yuan again.

Once a revered ancient god finds it challenging to ascend to True God, a Yin Stone could attract the covetous eyes of many ancient gods, even divine beings.

It was only then that Xiao Xue paused her feast, her brows furrowed in contemplation, after a while, she glanced at the alluring piece of pork, "Other than him, we indeed have no better choice."

Tianfu collapsed, Qi Family’s legacy ruined.

Qi Qi and her maid, Xiao Xue, have been dependent on each other for quite a number of years, and they rarely knew any well-respected seniors.

Even fewer of those were people they could trust.

The deity of Qing Shui Village might truly be a reliable ally after all.

Qi Qi’s train of thought raced as she looked at Qi Yuan, and eventually, she appeared to have made a decision.

On the other side, Qi Yuan was feeling the surge in his power, enjoying the pleasures of executing the newly ascended gods.

"Level 21 now."

Having slain two new gods, he had jumped twenty ranks from level 1 to 21.

Considering the disparity in their cultivation stages, he was merely at the Golden Core Stage, while the two he annihilated were already in the later stages of nascent soul. Thus, the experience gained was substantial.

"If I killed some more, I would reach level 90. So... Aren’t I at the realm of Yin God?" Qi Yuan wondered to himself.

He was enjoying this whole new world.

It seems that there were only Elite Monsters here; his experience level rose quickly with each kill.

The only downside was that he always had to eat after every fight; otherwise, he would get too hungry.

"I hope to form my nascent soul in this realm," Qi Yuan sighed.

Just then, Qi Qi walked over, her expression resolute, "My Lord, the reason I came to Qing Shui Village is indeed for something of great importance."

"I know, it’s to eat pig’s head meat." Qi Yuan glanced at the young girl in front of him.

He could not help but sigh internally. She was still so young, yet already at the Golden Core stage.

In the Vast Wave Realm, she’d be eligible to partake the "List of Promising Talents."

In this mortal world, every person stands as a dragon; talents are found everywhere.

"Why does my Lord jest with this lady? I have come with a gift for you, my Lord." Qi Qi grinned coyly.

Qi Yuan became interested: "What kind of gift?"

"Could my Lord accompany me to see the statue in Qing Shui Village?" Qi Qi replied.

"You mean that thing you mentioned earlier that’s inside the statue?"

"Yes." Qi Qi nodded.

"Fine, let’s go take a look." Qi Yuan waved his hand dismissively, "You all continue the feast, I’ll be back shortly."

Seeing Qi Yuan leave, everyone at the banquet heaved a sigh of relief.

They enjoyed their food all the more happily.

A streak of light swiftly approached, arriving in front of Qing Shui Village’s temple.

"Where’s the statue?" Qi Qi looked around the empty temple with a surprised expression.

"That...those fragments on the ground." Qi Yuan pointed out, "Perhaps my entrance was too impressive. The statue couldn’t withstand the impact and shattered."

Upon hearing this, Qi Qi stayed silent for a long moment before saying, "The statue of Qing Shui Village was cast by my Qi Family. It’s extremely durable; even the peak celestial beings can hardly destroy it."

"Perhaps it was because I was too dazzling."

Qi Qi looked at Qi Yuan: she didn’t quite understand what he meant.

However, relating this to his earlier words, she felt that he definitely had a deeper implication.

She gazed at the shattered pieces on the ground, speaking slowly, "When my family initially cast this statue, a Yin Stone was embedded within it."

As she spoke, she watched for Qi Yuan’s reaction, but saw that he remained nonchalant.

She was stunned inside, thinking, indeed, a big shot is a big shot, who can remain unmoved upon hearing about such a treasure like the Yin Stone.

This further strengthened her resolve to invest.

The future of Origin Heavenly Lord is promising.

"Nowadays, with great changes in heaven and earth, the ancient deities are unable to break through and enter the True God Realm.

However, the Yin Birth Stone can help the ancient deities enter the True God Realm."

Qi Qi bent over, holding the remnants of the divine statue in his hands.

"Despite the shattered statue, this humble girl can still extract the Yin Birth Stone from these pieces, to help you breakthrough to the True God Realm."

Qi Yuan was pondering.

He can be considered a player.

Is this great upheaval of nature and earth restricting him?

Back in the Wangyue Continent, it seemed that even the great sun had laid down the rule, prohibiting all beings from breaking through to level 100.

It seemed that Qi Yuan was also affected.

So, this Yin Birth Stone could be of use to him.

"No work goes unpaid, so speak up, what task do you have for me?" Qi Yuan treated Qi Qi as an NPC giving him a task and now the task was activated.

The Yin Birth Stone was just a quest reward.

"My Lord, why should we be so calculating towards each other?" Qi Qi said this, her face blushed slightly.

She said, "When my ancestor was casting the statue, it was agreed with the spirit of the statue that the deity who came out of the statue would be..."

Qi Qi’s transparent red earlobes glistened, the tone of her voice was a bit coy.

Qi Yuan widened his eyes: "You didn’t make a marriage pact with me, did you? Are you my betrothed, coming to break off the engagement with me?"

Many thoughts ran through Qi Yuan’s mind.

If the engagement was to be broken off, should he shout out the classic saying "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don’t despise the young and poor"?

But what if she doesn’t break off the engagement?

Should he take the initiative?

Surprise flashed in Qi Qi’s beautiful eyes, she didn’t understand Qi Yuan’s words.

"The agreement made by my ancestor with the spirit of the statue was... I should respect Lord Deity...as my godfather."

Qi Yuan was taken aback.

Just gained a daughter, and now another one?

"Although we both have the last name Qi, calling me godfather seems a bit much.

Our ages, it’s still unclear who’s older and who’s younger." Qi Yuan always felt he was quite young.

Having such a grown-up daughter could lead to misunderstandings.

"It’s the agreement between my ancestor and the spirit of the statue." Qi Qi stammered, "If the Lord doesn’t accept, then let’s forget about it."

As she spoke, she took out the token.

A yellow cloth was unfolded, and the text on it recorded the agreement made at that time.

Qi Yuan looked at the shattered statue on the ground, finally muttered: "In order to guide me, the statue was shattered. I will remember this act of kindness, today, I will accept you as my daughter."

Hearing this, Qi Qi was overjoyed, a blush still visible on her face: "Godfather!"

Qi Yuan felt a bit strange hearing this: "You can just call me godfather, it’s fine."

For some reason, hearing ’godfather,’ reminded him of Lv Bu.

He was much more comfortable with ’godfather.’

It sounded a lot more proper to him.

Qi Qi hesitated slightly, finally she sweetly called out: "Godfather!"

Calling the ancient deity godfather, Qi Qi didn’t feel a huge mental burden.

Most ancient deities are heroic spirits who died in ancient battles.

These senior heroes, who participated in the ancient....great flood war, died for the mortal world, every one of them was deserving of Qi Qi’s awe.

They had lived far longer than Qi Qi.

Since she had become his adopted daughter, Qi Qi quickly got into character: "Godfather, now that you’ve got the Yin Birth Stone and are likely to step into the True God Realm, you can’t just focus on improving your own strength. Try to avoid conflict as much as possible."

"Oh?" Qi Yuan was surprised.

He didn’t see the connection.

"Godfather, did you know that the strength of a True God is not only related to themselves but also to their subjects?" Qi Qi said.

"Hmm."

Qi Yuan had fought with the Evil God of Stone Village and the Evil God of Chenxi Village.

They drew strength from the villagers, greatly enhancing their own power.

But the villagers of Green Water Village were too weak, Qi Yuan didn’t ask them for their blessing.
