A Small Meeting

"Where are the Chieftain and the others?"

"They're talking with those outsiders. Today, we really have to thank Lord Ying Long, otherwise..."

"Why are you really calling him Yinglong?"

"Are you stupid? Didn't he say it himself when he was flying in the sky?"

"You two! Stop chatting and get to work setting up the tents!"

***

Inside the tent, temporarily constructed from animal hides, a group of people sat solemnly around a campfire.

And Xu Yanwu was seated prominently among them.

Chi Yuan, Danzhu, Cang Xuan, Ji Xuanyuan (Ji Lin), Jiang Zhu (Lianshan) – this was the list of attendees for this small meeting...

"Ahem, is everyone here? ...Then let's have a little meeting to get acquainted..."

Xu Yanwu cleared his throat, and the head on his neck swayed, almost falling off. Startled, Xu Yanwu quickly righted his head.

"Lord Xing Tian, your head... is it alright?"

Jiang Zhu couldn't help but ask, concerned about Xu Yanwu's condition.

"Ah, it's fine, it's fine. It's just that my head has been separated from my body for too long, it probably won't heal completely anytime soon..."

Xu Yanwu dejectedly adjusted his head and then said to Jiang Zhu, "You don't need to call me Lord Xing Tian anymore. You mentioned before that my body saved your tribe; that was just my body acting on instinct. You don't need to thank me too much. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Xu."

"Even if you say so, Lord Xing Tian..."

"Tch, why are you such a stubborn kid?"

Xu Yanwu shook his head, and his head fell off with a thump, hitting the ground.

"...Ahem, how embarrassing."

Xu Yanwu pretended to be calm, picked up his head, and placed it back on his neck: "How about I introduce myself first?"

Seeing that everyone tacitly agreed, Xu Yanwu began: "My name is Xu Yanwu. Although I don't have many great skills, I know quite a few other things. As for my age... I'm only a few tens of thousands of years older than you. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Xu..."

Sensing Chi Yuan's questioning gaze, Xu Yanwu directly looked at her.

"Stop looking. You guessed right, I am the [Head of the War Gods] dug out from your previous civilization. I knew that name wasn't very good... See, now I've really become the War God Xing Tian..."

"Is it really you?" Chi Yuan exclaimed in surprise. "Weren't you in a coma? Why are you with Cang Xuan and Danzhu?"

"This..."

Xu Yanwu awkwardly rubbed his nose.

"Chi Yuan, do you know them?"

Ji Xuanyuan asked curiously.

Xu Yanwu smiled and picked up Ji Xuanyuan's words: "Rather than knowing them, it's more like they come from the same place. They are from the previous civ... muffled sounds"

Xu Yanwu's mouth was suddenly covered by Danzhu. Danzhu whispered in Xu Yanwu's ear, "Uncle Xu Yanwu! Are you stupid? Can you just blurt out things like that!"

Seeing this, Ji Xuanyuan understood Danzhu's meaning and immediately said, "It's alright, it doesn't matter if you don't say it, but we are truly grateful for what happened today."

As Ji Xuanyuan spoke, she bowed again, paying respects to Xu Yanwu and the other two.

Xu Yanwu freed himself from Danzhu's grip, looking at Ji Xuanyuan with a complicated expression. What a good girl, so polite.

"I already said you don't need to thank us. This is what we should do," Xu Yanwu said in a deep voice. "If you really want to thank us, then don't be so formal and treat us like outsiders."

"To be honest, I brought these two sisters here today specifically to find you.

I think Chi Yuan is well aware of this."

Ji Xuanyuan's gaze shifted to Chi Yuan, who nodded in response. The fact that Danzhu and Cang Xuan were guarding the Xuanyuan Sword was not a secret among the Fire Moth.

And their arrival now to guide Ji Xuanyuan in correctly using the Xuanyuan Sword was a good thing.

Xu Yanwu pointed at the Xuanyuan Sword in Ji Xuanyuan's hand, then continued, "Although I don't understand this area very well, I'll tell you the truth: your current use of the Xuanyuan Sword is too weak. You haven't even begun to unleash its true power.

And they are here to guide you in mastering this power."

Hearing Xu Yanwu's words, Ji Xuanyuan unconsciously tightened her grip on the Xuanyuan Sword: "Am I too weak now..."

Xu Yanwu chuckled inwardly. Others might not know, but as a transmigrator, how could he not?

The tenth Divine Key, the Key of Domination, capable of infinite division.

The most powerful Divine Key to date, it could absorb the power of Honkai Energy and transform it into six natural forces to attack enemies. Even now, not having returned to its original state, it remained the boss among the Divine Keys.

The Xuanyuan Sword in Ji Xuanyuan's hand and the Grip of Taixu worn by Chi Yuan were both fragmented products of this Divine Key.

Hmm... how should I put it, truly worthy of being good friends, their weapons are a set...

Speaking of which... Cang Xuan and Danzhu should also know that Chi Yuan's weapon is the Key of Domination, right?

Actually, Chi Yuan is also a pitiable girl...

In the face of the Honkai... everyone is pitiable...

"In the future, talk to her, Fu Hua..."

He let out a quiet sigh and fell silent, wanting to give the others some space.

"Lord Xing Tian... Brother Xu, what brings you here?" Jiang Zhu asked curiously.

"..."

Damn it, can't this brat let me have a moment's peace? Give the other characters some screen time, you jerk!!!

Tsk, thinking about it, is there really a good reason I came here? At first, it was to drool over Ji Lin... cough, it was to help Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu find the Xuanyuan Sword, and along the way, I found my own body. It seems like I don't have anything else to do?

Xu Yanwu scratched his head, feeling a bit lost. "I don't know what I'm supposed to do, and I don't seem to have anywhere to go..."

"Does your tribe still need people?"

Xu Yanwu was a little curious. Since he had already become Xing Tian, would it be better to follow Jiang Zhu, this Shennong?

Coincidentally, Xu Yanwu also needed to tend to the injury on his neck.

This matter was happily decided!

... The night was deep and quiet ...

Xu Yanwu lay on the grass outside, gazing at the bright, twinkling stars filling the sky, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's so beautiful..."

This was the first time since coming to this world that Xu Yanwu didn't have to take care of anyone, allowing himself to completely relax and observe this world.

"Yes, the starry sky like this is indeed beautiful."

A girl's voice suddenly sounded.
