Matters Settled For Now

Amidst Xu Yanwu's furious roar, the surging giant waves in the air came to an abrupt halt, as if their time had been frozen by him.

"Retreat!"

At Xu Yanwu's command, the giant waves receded as if nothing had happened.

Seeing the flood return to its still state, Xu Yanwu's gaze gradually turned cold. He glanced back at Feng Bo Yu Shi and the two Honkai Beasts, who were being restrained by Xing Tian, as if they were lambs awaiting slaughter.

"Roar—!" "Hiss—!"

As if sensing Xu Yanwu's icy stare, Feng Bo Yu Shi struggled violently in Xing Tian's arms, trying to break free.

"To fulfill my vision... the power isn't enough..."

Xu Yanwu felt a peculiar sensation.

After stopping the Yellow River's giant waves, it was as if his senses had been unlocked, and he suddenly understood many things.

His connection to his body had also been restored to normal. As long as Xu Yanwu returned to his own neck after the battle, his body would officially return.

Now, Xu Yanwu's senses allowed him to see farther, hear more, and... Xu Yanwu could clearly feel the emotions of everyone he had just saved.

Some were in fear, some were rejoicing, some were grieving...

Some... were worshipping him.

Xu Yanwu wasn't sure why this was happening, but he felt a heaviness in his heart.

Although he had saved many people, countless lives had still perished at the hands of the Honkai Beasts...

"You two beasts killed many people..."

Xu Yanwu flapped his wings and soared in the air, looking down from above at Feng Bo Yu Shi, who was struggling but pinned to the ground by Xing Tian.

"So, I will use everything you have to repay them..."

"Ding—!"

Xing Tian's size and strength increased again. When he lifted Feng Bo Yu Shi by their necks, his body was already larger than the two Honkai Beasts.

"Devour all their Honkai Energy, but don't kill them yet."

Xu Yanwu spoke to his own body. Xing Tian didn't respond directly, but visible energy began to be drawn from Feng Bo Yu Shi's bodies and flowed into the circular birthmark on Xu Yanwu's back.

Seeing Xing Tian act, Xu Yanwu turned his attention to Ji Xuanyuan and the others, who had nearly finished dealing with the Honkai Beasts: "Ji Xuanyuan... and that kid with the red hair over there... come here."

"..." Ji Xuanyuan used the Xuanyuan Sword as a crutch to support her somewhat weary body. She looked up at Xu Yanwu in the sky, who seemed like a god, hesitating.

Jiang Zhu walked to her side, took Ji Xuanyuan's hand, and looked at Xu Yanwu.

"Don't be afraid... I'm not a bad person..."

Xu Yanwu's voice softened: "Don't be nervous. I'm not like these two Honkai Beasts here. I'm human; this form is due to my abilities."

Xu Yanwu's feelings were complex. Standing before him were the Yan Emperor and the Yellow Emperor... Although they weren't ancestors from his world, they were still the progenitors of the Huaxia civilization in this world.

Speaking of which... were Jiang Zhu and Ji Xuanyuan already this close at this time?

Xu Yanwu subtly glanced at their clasped hands.

Or was... Jiang Zhu using this opportunity to hit on her?

Ji Xuanyuan stepped forward and said to Xu Yanwu, "Thank you very much for your help, and for the two girls who came with you, in defeating the monsters Feng Bo and Yu Shi and saving our tribe. As the leader of this tribe... I am deeply grateful."

After speaking, Ji Xuanyuan released Jiang Zhu's hand, held the Xuanyuan Sword, and bowed deeply to Xu Yanwu to express her gratitude.

"You don't need to thank me, Ji Xuanyuan..."

Although Xu Yanwu said this, his heart was churning like a stormy sea.

Feng Bo? Yu Shi?

Weren't those the names of Chi You's subordinates in legend? Defeated by the Yellow Emperor with the help of Yinglong...

The Yinglong I jokingly created for Dan Zhu actually turned out to be a real Yinglong???

Then what about my body? It couldn't possibly be Nu Ba, could it?

"Excuse me..."

Jiang Zhu spoke.

"Is there something you need, young one..."

Xu Yanwu's voice remained gentle. He was Yinglong now, and even if he was acting, he had to play the part thoroughly, or he would be letting down all the myths he had read since childhood.

"May I ask what is your relationship with Xing Tian, the guardian deity of our Shennong Tribe... and why does he obey you?"

"???!!!"

What in the world is this?

Xing Tian?? Are you kidding me?

After I ended up playing Yinglong, my body somehow turned into Xing Tian? And he's the guardian deity of your Shennong Tribe?!

While the history of the Honkai world is indeed chaotic, it's not this chaotic!

What in the world has my body been through!

"..."

"Is it inconvenient to talk about... I'm very sorry, I overstepped..." Jiang Zhu apologized.

"It's not because of that."

Xu Yanwu's voice was a little strange: "You might not believe it when I say it..."

"The Xing Tian you're talking about... seems to be referring to my body?"

"Ah?"

Jiang Zhu and Ji Xuanyuan were both stunned. They had only just learned that Xing Tian's existence was real, and now this shocking news popped up???

"Hey, sister, Uncle Xu Yanwu just said that giant is his body," Dan Zhu whispered to Cang Xuan.

"Let's see what Xu Yanwu actually wants to do first," Cang Xuan said. "It's also a good chance to see what kind of person the wielder of the Xuanyuan Sword is..."

Meanwhile, Xu Yanwu.

"Your body?!?!"

Jiang Zhu couldn't help but exclaim.

"I think... it should be correct..."

Xu Yanwu slowly descended from the air, his energy body also began to shrink, finally returning to its initial Baymax form.

Xu Yanwu was a little amused and exasperated: "We'll talk about this later, for now, let's focus on how to handle the current situation..."

Xu Yanwu's voice turned sharp: "I left these two Honkai Beasts with a sliver of life! How to deal with them is up to you."

Xing Tian had also released its hands, returning to the size of the little girl it had saved earlier, and walked to Xu Yanwu's side.

The two Honkai Beasts, on the other hand, lay on the ground, barely breathing and unable to move. Having had all their Honkai Energy drained, it was a miracle they were even alive.

"Ji Xuanyuan, you are the controller of the Xuanyuan Sword. I want to see what kind of person you are..."

As Xu Yanwu spoke, his head was yanked off his energy body by his own body.

"...After I determine what kind of person you are, I may assist you... Damn it, body, go easy! Don't just force it! Ow, it's crooked! Jiang Zhu! Come here and help me put my head back on..."
