Destroying You—What Does It Have to Do with You?

"Yuan Kui Realm was forcibly moved away by some mighty being. I don't know where it was transferred to."

"Gu You Immortal Domain is currently in crisis. I hope we can stand united against the outside, rather than scheming among ourselves."

"Once Gu You Immortal Domain falls, is there still any point in fighting over it?"

"This position of mine—even if I gave it to you, could you sit securely in it?"

The six World Lords seized upon a key phrase in Lin Tong's words: Yuan Kui Realm had been moved away by someone???

Wasn't that a little too absurd?

Yuan Kui Realm was enormous; it was not as if they did not know. One Yuan Kui Realm was as large as two and a half realms.

"Domain Lord, surely you are joking?"

"Not to mention our Gu You Immortal Domain—even the several great immortal domains around us have no one capable of moving away an entire Yuan Kui Realm."

The six World Lords clearly did not believe what Lin Tong had said.

Moving Yuan Kui Realm away through the air?

What kind of joke was that? Was he playing with them?

At this, Lin Tong frowned and said coldly, "I am merely informing you. I do not need you to believe me."

"Also, by the authority of the Domain Lord, I order you: regarding the reason for Yuan Kui Realm's disappearance, there is no need to offer any further explanations to the outside world, lest it cause panic."

"And you must keep your subordinates in line. They are forbidden from investigating the reason for Yuan Kui Realm's disappearance."

"Should you anger that terrifying existence, Gu You Immortal Domain will be plunged into a place of eternal damnation."

Having said that, he turned and left.

After Lin Tong and the others departed, the six World Lords looked at one another, each seeing the disbelief in the others' eyes.

"What do you think?"

"What do I think? You actually believe that? I think you have knelt before Lin Tong for so long that you can no longer stand up."

"Lin Tong is treating us like three-year-old children. I reckon he hid Yuan Kui Realm himself, all to make us lower our guard. After all, over the past few years, many forces in our six great realms have been infiltrated by his descendants."

"I don't believe it either. If that person is really that outrageous, then let him snatch away my entire Flame Cave Realm right now!"

"Enough, enough. Let's disperse. This is really boring."

Before long, the six World Lords left the place.

By the riverbank, before the Stone House.

"Hm?"

"It's only been one day, and you've grown this much?!"

When Su Mu arrived at the little pool, he saw that Little Crab was a full circle larger than yesterday, already half the size of a palm. Yesterday, it had only been as large as a thumb.

"Huh?"

"Why has half the water disappeared?"

"You little thing, do you drink this much water in a day??"

Seeing that half the water in the pool was gone, Su Mu exclaimed in surprise.

Did crabs drink water? And that much of it! Su Mu went to the bank, found the same stretch of water as yesterday, used the Water Control Mystical Power, and drew water from the river twice more, filling the little pool again.

At that moment, Su Mu sensed a grateful mental message from Little Crab.

Crabs probably ate small fish and shrimp, right?

He had never really studied what crabs ate.

He only knew how to eat crabs. Who cared what crabs ate?? Su Mu set aside a small portion of the little fish and shrimp he had caught in the fish trap today and tossed them into the little pool.

"Eat up, eat up. Eat more and grow bigger."

At this moment, in Gu You Immortal Domain.

Four World Lords had knelt outside the Domain Lord's Hall early in the morning, every one of them wearing a terrified expression.

"Brother Jiang, where is Your Excellency?"

"Why hasn't Your Excellency come yet?"

The four World Lords had completely shed their former haughty and unruly manner. Now, they were as humble as could be.

Only a few short years had passed since Yuan Kui Realm vanished. Just one hour ago, a pair of Void Hands had crushed the void and directly seized Flame Cave Realm, Li Yuan Realm, and Zheng Yu Realm from among the Seven Realms!

The World Lord of Li Yuan Realm had been lucky. He happened not to be in Li Yuan Realm and was not taken away along with the entire world.

Yet he had witnessed the entire process of Li Yuan Realm being seized by those Void Hands. As the lord of a realm, he had already been scared witless.

But Ji Bochang of Flame Cave Realm and Zhang Gushan of Zheng Yu Realm had not had such dogshit luck. They had been taken away along with their realms and were likely doomed.

Although the remaining three World Lords had yet to be affected, they too had been frightened out of their wits. They did not even dare return home, afraid that tomorrow it would be their turn.

"Wait a moment. His Majesty already knows about this matter. He is handling some important affairs and will be here shortly."

Jiang Cheng looked at the four trembling World Lords and felt utterly speechless.

They had clearly been warned years ago, yet they had not taken it seriously at all. They had even believed that His Majesty was deceiving them.

Now they believed it, didn't they? Only now did they know to come crying to His Majesty for protection?

After quite a while, a weary-looking Lin Tong emerged from the void.

Compared to a few years ago, he had aged considerably.

Upon seeing Lin Tong arrive, the four World Lords dropped to their knees with a thud. "Please, Your Excellency, punish us!"

Hearing this, Lin Tong gave a bitter smile and did not blame them.

Lin Tong was now all alone. He had come to see many things for what they were.

"Get up. You have committed no crime."

Lin Tong spoke to the four World Lords.

What crime had they committed? They simply had not believed him. Even if they had believed him from the start, even if they had united and resisted together, what could that have changed?

Could it have changed the outcome of three more realms being snatched away?

It could not.

Those supreme existences seated high above the clouds needed only a wave of their hands to decide the rise and fall of an immortal domain, along with the life and death of every one of them.

They were like the dirt on the ground. To those passing by, it was merely an ordinary passing—they stepped on you.

And what could you change?

Destroying you—what did it have to do with you?

That was the sorrow of the weak, the despair of the weak.

"Gu You Immortal Domain is already on the verge of shattering."

"Leave this place as soon as possible. You came to seek me out, but I do not have the ability to protect you."

"Go. Go to other great immortal domains."

Lin Tong waved a hand at the four World Lords.

Just like that, the once-prosperous Gu You Immortal Domain began its decline.

"Your Majesty, are we leaving?" Jiang Cheng asked as he gazed at the shattered Gu You Immortal Domain.

"Let's go. Let's go to the Azure Domain."

"Let's start over."

After losing all his closest kin, Lin Tong instead felt his bottleneck loosen and his state of mind rise. The hot blood that had long cooled within him now began to burn once more.

He was prepared to go somewhere new and start again, pursuing a higher realm.

And he would never forget this day. One day, he would face that figure from behind and make him repay blood with blood! "Achoo~"

Su Mu, who was repairing the river channel, suddenly sneezed. Frowning, he said, "Is someone cursing me behind my back again?"

"Why have I been sneezing so much lately?"

At that moment, movement came from the River Surface. Su Mu raised his head and looked downstream, only to see several figures seated in Small Boats, sailing toward him.

At the sight, Su Mu was overjoyed.

After waiting so long, people had finally come. Were they Transmigrators?

They did not look like it, though. Why were there so many of them?

Su Mu stepped onto the water and walked toward the Small Boats, one step at a time.
