"Sigh, we really are brothers in misfortune! We share blessings and hardships alike." If it had only been him, Shi Hao would naturally have felt indignant, but with an acquaintance joining him, it felt different.
"Damn!"
"I never got to share in any blessings, but I ended up taking the blame!" Shi Jue rolled his eyes. What an undeserved disaster.
Both their bodies began to fade as they were expelled from the Void God Realm. This was a terrifying force neither of them could resist.
"Hahaha, not only are the brats gone, even the Big Black Hand has been thrown out. Now we don't have to worry about getting knocked out from behind."
"Brother, you should keep your voice down. Can't you see the Big Black Hand is staring at you?"
"Gasp, he's memorizing faces. When he comes back, he'll resume his old trade and strike from the shadows."
"Stop talking. The back of my head is starting to feel cold."
"I'll be back!" Because Shi Hao resisted the expulsion, the force acting on him was greater, and he left the Void God Realm first, leaving behind those unwilling words. Shi Jue could still hold on a little longer.
"Hahaha, see you when you come back in two years!"
"Don't worry, no one can break your bizarre record!"
"Being expelled from the Void God Realm is unprecedented, but it didn't leave a record behind. Do you need to get expelled a few more times?"
"Enough, Big Black Hand. Stop holding on and go out with the brats!"
"The green hills remain, and the rivers flow on. See you in a year!" Shi Jue held a slab brick in his hand and gave a wicked smile, allowing the Void God Realm to expel him.
"Holy shit!"
"Isn't there still blood on that slab brick?"
"He really hit hard. Those hundred people must have been bleeding from the head. Just thinking about it hurts!"
"I'd better hide in a year. I don't want to be the hundred and second!"
After Shi Jue left, many people felt their scalps tingle and the backs of their heads turn cold.
The two appeared amid that vast, boundless ruin. Broken walls and crumbling remnants spoke of past glory, but times had changed, and the place had long since become deserted.
Chaos Qi permeated the air, and the Primordial Demonic Mountain faintly emerged within it. Its ancient, desolate aura was deeply shocking, as though they had arrived in a world of chaos.
Not far away, a willow tree that reached from heaven to earth had rooted itself amid the ruins. Its crystalline, tender green branches swayed in the wind, green radiance soaring into the sky and stretching into the chaotic mist as it absorbed that hazy fog.
"You two came back so quickly?" Liu Shen was slightly startled and awoke from her special state.
Given the strength of their spirits, they should have been able to remain in the Void God Realm for at least half a month, yet only two days had passed.
"I got kicked out. There clearly wasn't any rule like that!" Shi Hao muttered through gritted teeth, sounding thoroughly indignant.
"And you, Xiao Jue?" Liu Shen did not ask for the reason right away, instead looking at Shi Jue beside him.
"I don't know. It was completely inexplicable, probably the work of those two old fellows." Shi Jue did not hold much resentment over it. It was only a year, after all.
"Liu Shen, I was expelled from the Void God Realm for two years. Do you have any way to let me enter again?"
"Expelled?" Upon hearing that word, Liu Shen's emotions rarely fluctuated. She could not help asking, "This is the first time I've heard of such a situation. Tell me carefully: why did the Void God Realm expel you?"
"I just... smashed a rock, then broke a stele. I was warned first, then expelled." Shi Hao answered.
Liu Shen paused, then pressed, "That definitely wasn't the reason. Battles occur in the Void God Realm; breaking rocks is perfectly normal."
"Haha!" Shi Jue immediately burst out laughing. What a clever change of terms. Seeing Liu Shen's gaze fall on him, he explained:
"Liu Shen, the rock Shi Hao smashed was the bluestone of the Initial Passage, and the stele he broke was the Record Stele."
Liu Shen: "..."
Even someone as composed as her froze on the spot. Her swaying willow branches seemed to have been paused, stiffening in midair. With all her experience, it was still the first time she had heard of something so unbelievable and absurd.
"Exactly, wasn't it just a rock and a stele? They never said they couldn't be broken, so can I go back or not?" Shi Hao looked at Liu Shen with a hopeful expression.
"No!" This time, Liu Shen had no doubts at all. She answered cleanly and decisively, denying him outright.
Just because it had not been forbidden meant he could break it? No normal person would think of smashing the passage to the Initial Ground. What kind of thought process was that? He truly did not deserve any sympathy for being expelled.
"Can you be any more outrageous? If it were me, I'd throw you straight into the Black Beast Prison. And what earth-shaking thing did you do, Xiao Jue?"
"I set a record. In half an hour, I attacked from behind and knocked out a hundred people." Shi Jue answered honestly.
Liu Shen: "..."
"You're something else too. That record couldn't have been easy, could it?" Liu Shen asked speechlessly.
"Yeah, finding a hundred people acting alone was pretty exhausting." Shi Jue said shamelessly.
Liu Shen could see it now. Neither of these two was easy to deal with, and the things they did were truly beyond words.
"Fine. You didn't damage anything in the Void God Realm, so I think I know why you were expelled. They were probably afraid you would do the same thing as Xiao Hao, so they expelled you as a warning."
"Leave now. You've truly broadened my horizons!"
Liu Shen directly took the two away. In an instant, she opened a portal and returned to Stone Village.
In Stone Village, Liu Shen's true body immediately lit up. Endless divine radiance enveloped the entire village, and as Liu Shen returned, a vast will emanated from her trunk.
Shi Hao and Shi Jue also opened their eyes at the same time. After moving their bodies a little, they stood up.
The feeling of their spirits returning to their bodies was still quite novel.
"Xiao Hao, Xiao Jue, what's the Void God Realm like?"
Several children gathered around them. No one in Stone Village, not even the Old Clan Chief, had ever entered it, so they were all extremely curious.
While their spirits had entered the Void God Realm, the villagers of Stone Village had voluntarily stood guard nearby.
"It was pretty fun..." Shi Hao began recounting what had happened. When he mentioned breaking Shi Yi's record, the villagers cheered for him. But when he spoke of being expelled, the indignant look on his face made all the villagers burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, Xiao Hao, you really didn't deserve any sympathy for being expelled. That was probably already a rather light punishment." Shi Yunfeng laughed heartily.
"Clan Chief Grandpa, Xiao Jue and I are going to Heaven Mending Pavilion next." Shi Hao shared this idea with the villagers. He needed battle now, or he might stagnate.
