As evening approached, the sun began to set.

Li Mo returned to the blacksmith's shop carrying the hopes of the entire village, and also brought back a wild deer that had been frightened to death by demons.

In the simple, unpretentious courtyard, wisps of smoke rise gently in the breeze.

"Does the fairy goddess want to eat?"

As Li Mo processed the venison, skewering it onto bamboo sticks, he secretly pondered something.

Why don't we wait until it's done grilling and then put some in? His grilled meat is exceptional; he probably believes that both blacksmithing and cooking require precise control of the heat, and they share a similar essence.

If she doesn't like to eat, then maybe the Celestials don't need to eat at all...

Just as he was thinking this, Little Li the blacksmith, who was sitting on the muddy threshold, suddenly paused.

Because, without him noticing, Ying Bing had already come out of the room and sat down on the same threshold as him.

Her hair rippled in the breeze as she hugged her knees, her clear and bright eyes gazing at him with a smile, as if she could never tire of looking at him.

Li Mo blushed under their gaze, his mind seemingly wandering elsewhere.

"Shouldn't you flip it over?"

"Oh... I'm sorry, you're too beautiful." Li Mo quickly flipped the venison over.

"You're still just as stupid and childish as ever."

"Ah?"

Little Li the blacksmith didn't understand, but suddenly felt as if an arrow had pierced his heart.

Before he transmigrated, he thought he was invincible, but now he finds himself quite pathetic when faced with a real honey trap.

No, what is he thinking? The fairy goddess might just be acting on a whim...

"Do you want some?"

"I don't want this." Ying Bing shook her head.

"Don't you like barbecue?" Li Mo was a little disappointed, thinking she didn't eat mortal food.

"Because you haven't finished yet."

Ying Bing took out a few chili peppers, crushed them into powder, and then took out other seasonings and mixed them together.

"Try it."

"Fairy Goddess, you're also a skilled cook? This is delicious!"

Li Mo tentatively took a bite, and his eyes immediately lit up. Wasn't this the taste of the barbecue restaurant from his past life?

He had considered making it here, but unfortunately, he couldn't find all the necessary materials.

Praised for her cooking skills, Ying Bing subconsciously wanted to reach out to Li Mo's hand, but she pursed her lips and held back, instead grabbing a skewer of grilled meat.

The oil left a glistening layer on her lips:

"Don't call me Your Majesty."

"What's it called?"

"Just call me... older sister."

Ying Bing rested her chin on her hand, her eyes sparkling with a bright smile. She blinked slightly, almost blinding Xiao Li with her radiance.

The fairy sister and the village chief grandfather seem to have different stories.

How many times must I save the world to marry a woman like this?

"Then... Fairy Sister, will you stay in King Village forever?"

"As long as you are here, I will be here."

Li Mo didn't know why the fairy sister would say that, but he realized something.

Fate and safety cannot be entrusted to the vague and uncertain things, whether it be the Celestials or anything else.

One must fulfill oneself and be one's own savior.

The fairy sister's presence in King's Village gave him the opportunity to fulfill his desires...

"The martial art I used today was a bit strange. I know how to use it myself, but I don't know how to explain it... I'd like to teach it to the other villagers."

"I'll make some changes, and it should be fine."

"I love watching this."

Shang Qinqing's eyes lit up, and she made strange "hihahaha" sounds.

Qin Yuzhi had also been completely turned into a fan of the same old tricks by her, and she couldn't wait to use the same method again to link their dreams together, just like last time.

I'm not only going to do it, I'm going to do it way ahead of time!

Unfortunately, she couldn't access the Map of Mountains and Rivers, so she had to postpone her plans.

The Imperial Capital was in an uproar; countless people looked like dogs that had just been kicked on the street.

"Damn it, I came here to watch the thrilling and exciting Celestial Person Trial, what is all this?!"

"You lured us in here to kill us, huh? And you even said 'call me 'sister'? Kill me and I'll entertain you!"

"Something's not right! Wasn't the Map of Mountains and Rivers' supposed to have forgotten its past? What the hell has it forgotten?!"

"Rnm, change the channel!"

The scene was chaotic at one point.

Indeed, the light and shadow lingered on Li Mo and Ying Bing for so long that everyone almost forgot.

It was supposed to be a trial for three people, but it seems like someone was already dead from the very beginning...

Jiang Yu is clearly very important. He is currently the only trial participant in Tiancheng, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will wield the Heavenly Human Divine Sword in the future.

Emperor Jingtai also felt that it was about time to see what Jiang Yu had been doing in the Imperial Capital.

Then, the light and shadow shifted, and the scene returned to the Heavenly City.

At this moment, a meeting is taking place in Tiancheng.

"Jiang Yu is now the most powerful innate cultivator in our Heavenly City. He has also gained a slight connection with the divine sword and will surely become the sword master in the future."

A member of the Celestial Clan spoke slowly.

Although the Celestials present differed in age and appearance, they all shared the same long lifespan and had no concept of seniority.

Within the Heavenly Human City, the only threats to them are the dangers outside the city and the natural disasters of this world.

They only recognize the strong, because only the strong can lead them to resist all that.

With Ying Bing gone, Jiang Yu became the strongest among them.

"In that case, from now on we will all listen to Jiang Yu and follow his lead!"

The vast majority of the Celestial Clan recognized Jiang Yu's status.

A very small minority also hoped that Ying Bing would return, but that was now out of the question, so naturally they wouldn't oppose Jiang Yu.

"I am deeply grateful for your kind offer, but it would be impolite to refuse."

Jiang Yu took the seat of honor and asked, "How do you all plan to deal with the natural disasters fifty years from now?"

The first elder to respond to him appeared to be a member of the Celestial Clan, and he was also extremely powerful. He was born with a purple auspicious light and was the previous leader of the Celestial Clan.

He stroked his beard and said:

"During the first natural disaster, the demons are all catalyzed by a strange power, as if they have become the darlings of heaven and earth, and their strength increases dramatically. This will also cause their bloodlust to swell."

"They will attack Heavenly Human City in large numbers."

"At such times, we will go to the human city to intercept them, wipe them out, and then repair the city walls."

"Chief Jiang Yu, please make the divine sword recognize its master as soon as possible during this period. Only then will the situation be easier to control, and fewer of our people will die in the Heavenly City during the natural disaster."

"At the same time, you should also go and gain some experience, preferably to the City of People, to learn how to fight demons. By the way, it will be easier to wield the divine sword during the training."

The previous leader of the Celestial Clan was an exceptionally competent NPC.

The main quests and side quests have all been released and are clearly outlined.

Jiang Yu followed his advice.

So he took the Heavenly Human Divine Sword and, together with several equally powerful members of the Celestial Clan, left the Celestial City and began his journey.

In battle after battle, he was worshipped time and again, and was regarded as a god by the people of the city.

Jiang Yu's expression became increasingly expressionless, and his smile grew increasingly indifferent.

After slaying yet another demon, he and his kin flew into the azure sky, his smile vanishing in an instant, and he murmured:

"The divine sword seems to absorb the awe of others, growing ever more powerful..."

"The Celestial Clan is so powerful, and the people of the Earth City are nothing more than slightly stronger ants. Why don't we completely become the masters of Heavenly Human City, win over the hearts of the people in the other two cities, enforce our orders, and maintain a proper order of rank?"

"The Celestial Clan will then be even stronger, and natural disasters will no longer be a threat."

He turned around, looked at the Celestials traveling with him, and said:

"Could you use tomorrow morning's dawn to dye me a bright yellow dress?"
