Hearing Number One’s words, everyone became a little flustered.
Although at the beginning, they had questioned their entire existence when they learned that their leader was a child.
But after interacting with him for this period, they had completely accepted this boss.
And trusted him from the bottom of their hearts.
They always felt that as long as he was there, they never had to worry about anything.
He was unexpectedly reliable.
But now, their boss said he wasn't going with them anymore?
Wh-what was the reason for this?
Everyone subconsciously began to recall if they had offended their boss during this time.
"Could it be that the meat soup I made last time didn't have the meat washed clean?"
"Was I too slow in processing the spirit stones?"
"Did my habit of farting every night while sleeping with everyone get discovered by the boss?"
*Clap, clap!*
Number One clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention.
"Alright, listen to me."
After everyone quieted down, Number One continued,
"We need to go to Upper City first, and then to the Central Continent as the bird demon mentioned."
Central Continent, a bustling place.
According to the information provided by Fire Spirit,
Every hundred years, various factions would gather for a 'friendly' competition.
To determine the ranking of each faction's strength for the following century.
However, in such competitions, the old timers would not participate.
It was a contest among the prodigies and rising stars of each faction.
After all, they were the future of a race.
And Number One and Number Two were going there.
To further understand the situation of this world.
Bringing this group of people along would clearly be inappropriate.
"Central Continent..."
Everyone exchanged glances, feeling a bit lost.
They knew what kind of place it was and how dangerous it was.
And they still hadn't reached a cultivation level where they could crush a bird demon with a single finger.
Had their boss and his brother become so powerful?
If they were to go there...
Not only would they be unable to help, but they would also become a burden.
The group lowered their heads.
Feeling a bit disappointed and sad.
They were not worthy of accompanying their boss there.
Perhaps...
Their boss was so powerful, maybe his backing force was located in the Central Continent.
For a moment, the air grew quiet.
After a moment,
'Year' suddenly spoke, "Boss, what about us?"
Number One: "After Number Two and I depart, you will be led by 'Mountain'.
He understands you better than I do.
It will take at least five more days to reach Upper City, so you should also find time to leave this place."
Suddenly being named, 'Mountain' was taken aback.
He wanted to say something.
But couldn't find any reason.
Should he ask the boss to abandon his own affairs because of them?
The boss had already helped them so much.
The words in his mouth flipped twice before he swallowed them back.
Finally, he said 'Yes,' and then asked,
"Boss, will you come back?"
Number One smiled, "If there's a chance, we will definitely meet again."
Their meridians were very complete,
If they wanted to leave, they could actually go very far.
Perhaps, they might meet again in the Central Continent in the future.
...
The time for Number One and Number Two to leave was set for the next morning.
That night, many people couldn't sleep.
When the first hint of dawn appeared on the eastern horizon,
Number One and Number Two, each with a small bundle on their backs,
Came to the stone wall, ready to depart.
Number Two said to Fire Spirit, "Take us to Upper City."
Fire Spirit suddenly looked up, "Ah? I have to go too?"
She thought that after these two left, she would be free.
Number Two: "Only you know the way to Upper City from here, so who else could it be but you?"
Fire Spirit: "..."
She shouldn't have brought up so much!
She shouldn't have said anything!
Give her back her freedom!
Seeing the two children preparing to ride on her, Fire Spirit quickly said,
"Are you sure you want to go? The great demons there are not on the same level as those here!
Demons of that caliber usually have bloodline suppression!
Do you know what bloodline suppression is? It's when before you even engage, their mere deterrence makes your legs go weak!"
Number One glanced at her, "Isn't whether bloodline suppression is effective determined by strength? As long as you're stronger than them, isn't that enough?"
Fire Spirit's eyes widened, and she blurted out, "Are you serious?!"
Those two children,
How powerful could they possibly be?
In Upper City, there were plenty of thousand-year-old demons!
The tone and expression of this fellow,
Was he really not making a serious joke?!
Number Two was annoyed and directly delivered a fist the size of a sandbag to Fire Spirit.
"Just lead the way when I tell you to, stop talking so much!"
A bright red bump quickly appeared on Fire Spirit's forehead: "...Okay (′へ`、)"
Just as Number One and Number Two were riding on the bird demon,
Preparing to leave.
Someone suddenly ran out from inside the wall, then two people, three people...
A group of people ran out.
"Boss!"
'Mountain', who was at the forefront, shouted,
"We've decided where we're going next. We plan to cultivate while also going to other quarry sites.
To gather more people.
When we become strong enough, we will come to Central Continent to find you!"
Number One nodded, "Good. We'll wait for you in Central Continent."
*Poof, poof—*
Under everyone's gaze,
The fiery red bird spread its wings and, accompanied by the gentle breeze, swooshed into the sky.
Flying higher and higher,
Heading towards the rising sun.
What Fire Spirit didn't realize at that moment was,
From this moment on, her demonic life would undergo a major turning point.
And she was the only one who witnessed everything.
...Those two children actually went to Upper City, and even to Central Continent.
While exploring, they 'self-taught' many techniques.
Because of the strength they displayed, they also attracted many people and demons to follow them.
In the end,
Even the entire Central Continent knew their names.
...
The last scene Jiang Lin saw,
Was of two young men standing on a mountaintop,
Snow was falling from the sky, and the world was a sea of white.
Number One and Number Two faced the snowflakes, looking at the world below the mountain.
Fist bumps.
In their confident smiles, there was a hint of composure that didn't belong to youths.
Number One said with a smile, "Alright, you take care of the part beyond human power, and I'll take care of the part after death."
Not far behind them.
Many figures were gathered, quietly watching the two.
Some were humans, some were demons.
Their attire varied, as if they came from different places.
Fire Spirit was among them.
...
...
The image finally ended.
Jiang Lin's head began to ache as if it were being pierced.
He rubbed his temples, realizing he shouldn't convert so much divine power at once in the future.
Although he seemed to have seen a lot this time, it felt like he hadn't remembered anything.
He needed to organize it properly.
"Wait..."
Jiang Lin's action of rubbing his temples suddenly stopped.
What time is it now?!
