The Mural

Old Wang followed the giant wolves to a magnificent palace, which was overgrown with weeds because it had been neglected for a long time.

Moreover, due to the Legendary Giant Beast within the palace, there are no animals around it, making it as silent as a ghost town.

"By the way, what's your name?" Old Wang asked the Giant Wolf Chief.

"Huh? My clan uses colors as surnames, so my name should have the character 'Tai' in it, so I should be called Gray Tai something."

"But no one has asked us our names in a long time, so we haven't given them to us. Why don't you give us one, sir?" said the Giant Wolf Chief.

"What's with the 'Grey Wolf' thing? If you're a big grey wolf, why not just call you 'Hui Tai Da'?" Old Wang said, stroking his chin.

Giant Wolf Chief:(.)

You seem to have some kind of serious illness?

"Why can't adults be like Grey Wolf?"

"Calling him Grey Wolf might infringe on copyright, and it doesn't sound as imposing as Hui Tai Da!" Old Wang said.

Hui Tai Da: "..."

If I could beat you, I would definitely open your little head and see what's inside.

What's so imposing about "Hui Tai Da"? Is that even a name a human could come up with?

"It's too big! What race is it?"

"It's a giant sheep!" The Giant Wolf Chief, though still somewhat reluctant to accept his name, said truthfully.

Old Wang: "..."

You pack of wolves actually got bullied by a sheep? Was the Happy Sheep?

Believe it or not, Happy Sheep really is a sheep. So, this enemy we haven't even met yet will be named Happy Sheep. That's a happy decision!

Old Wang, lost in thought about all this nonsense, carried the Hui Tai Da things into the palace.

He kicked open the palace gates, and dust billowed up from the palace, which had been neglected for countless years.

"This place Hui Tai Da!" Old Wang said, brushing away the dust in front of him.

"I'm here!" Hui Tai Da, the Giant Wolf Chief, looked up and said after hearing his name.

Old Wang: "..."

You got used to it pretty fast, damn it!

"I didn't call you, so rest."

"Okay!"

After entering the palace, Old Wang saw the sheep in Hui Tai Da's mouth; it was a sheep almost the size of a mountain.

Its entire body resembled a normal sheep, but its eyes were blood red, burning with scarlet flames.

Its slightly open, enormous mouth was filled with fangs, and combined with the countless white bones beneath it and the corpses that hadn't been completely eaten, this thing was clearly carnivorous.

The sheep had been watching them quietly ever since they entered the palace, drool dripping from its mouth, clearly not taking the Old Wang seriously at all.

"Is it him?" Old Wang asked.

"Yes!" Hui Tai Da certainty.

"Legendary seventh-tier cultivator can still live this long?" Old Wang asked, somewhat incredulously.

According to Grey Wolf, the Giant Wolf Chief, their race has been invaded for thousands of years, nearly ten thousand years. Apart from a few long-lived races, very few races can live that long.

However, as soon as "Happy Sheep" made a move, Old Wang immediately understood why it was so long-lived: it looked like a sheep, but was actually a ghost.

Its fur is an illusion; there's no flesh under its fur, just a skeleton.

"Why would the undead want to eat meat?" Old Wang asked, placing one foot on its head and playing with the Legend Heart Core.

The Legendary seventh-tier sheep was no match for Old Wang, especially since it was an undead race with obvious weaknesses.

As it charged toward Old Wang, it was struck by the Divine radiance emanating from Old Wang, which shattered its domain and severely injured it.

Then Old Wang easily pierced and killed it with a ray formed from Divine Element.

Legendary creatures are terrifying, but it depends on who you're dealing with.

"Most undead creatures retain some characteristics from their previous life. This sheep was clearly a terrifying carnivorous species in life, so it has retained these characteristics even after death."

Ling, being kind, explained his confusion to Old Wang.

"Is that so!"

After Old Wang solved the "Happy Sheep" problem, the giant wolves were initially incredulous, then wept with joy, and finally spread the news far and wide.

They never imagined that the problem that had plagued their race for so long would be solved so easily.

As the giant wolves celebrated joyfully, Old Wang was drawn to the murals in the palace.

Although these murals are in the "Matchstick Wolf" style, Old Wang can still roughly understand their meaning.

There are six murals in total, depicting a tragic story of a giant wolf hero building a sun to save the grassland.

First, in the first picture, it's easy to see from the smiling faces of the wolves that the giant wolf clan lives a carefree life on the grasslands.

Then comes the second image, where the sky above "Matchstick Wolf's" head has collapsed, and the earth has also caved in. The cracks around it are probably Spatial Rift, indicating that something must have happened.

In the third painting, the sky collapsed and the earth caved in, and the giant wolf clan and the animals on the grassland survived without any problems. However, Old Wang noticed that the sun above their heads was gone in the first two paintings.

The temple also appeared at this time. The tribes on the grassland believed that this suddenly appearing temple saved them, and some wolves revered the temple as a god.

In the fourth painting, the sun has completely disappeared, the creatures on the grassland have suffered heavy losses, and even the giant wolves are almost all gone.

After their prayers to the gods went unanswered, one of the wolves decided to build a sun himself.

The wolf in this uniquely drawn character has a sun-like shape above its head; that's probably what it means.

The fifth painting shows that the wolf actually built the sun, but it must have sacrificed itself, because the wolf pack painted it into the sun, and Ten Thousand Beasts worshipped it.

But the sharp-eyed Old Wang saw something else in the painting: after dawn, a small giant carrying a city appeared in the distance.

This must be Demon City; Demon City must have appeared suddenly after the sun rose.

Then comes the last, sixth painting. This one is quite strange; it depicts the giant wolves exploring and discovering the edge of the Haier Grassland. Old Wang is absolutely certain that the thick clouds and thunderstorms are accurate.

The mural ends here. Nothing major happened next; the wolves were driven out of the temple before it could be recorded.

Old Wang understood the first five paintings immediately, since the wolves were drawn quite well. But Old Wang couldn't understand the sixth painting at all.

"Does this mean that the Haier Grassland had no boundaries before, and the boundaries just appeared suddenly?"

While Old Wang was Thought this, the giant wolves had already finished cleaning up the palace. Looking at the devastated palace, Old Wang suddenly paused.

Because he saw the statue in the very center of the palace, which was actually a dog.

This is the temple of the wolves, and suddenly a dog appears... This is outrageous!

Was their carving technique too poor?

Old Wang, I can say with certainty that it's absolutely not. This is just a dog, and a mixed-breed one at that, a purebred Chinese Rural Dog.

"Don't look, this is the true form of the Eleventh Demon God!" Zero said to Old Wang.

Upon hearing this, Old Wang immediately averted his gaze, as looking directly at the Demon God statue would easily attract its attention.

"But that doesn't make any sense either. Why would Demon God protect a pack of wolves?" Old Wang.

While Old Wang was still puzzled, the Giant Wolf Chief had already begun to lead his men to kneel and worship the Demon God.

As soon as the kneeling and worship ended, Old Wang saw beams of light shooting out from the Demon God, striking the wolf pack below.

After being struck by the light, the wolves all began to transform.

They all grew much larger in a short time, and the wolf pack leader Hui Tai Da, even broke through to the Legendary.

Old Wang looked at all this and felt somewhat incredulous.

This Demon God has such great power that Old Wang is even thinking of worshipping it, hoping to gain some experience points directly or something?

After seeing that the Giant Wolf Chief, Hui Tai Da subordinates had suddenly become much smarter, Old Wang figured out some more things.

These giant wolves on the grasslands weren't always this intelligent. They may have Intelligence back then, but they were roughly equivalent to uncivilized humans.

It wasn't until the dramatic changes in the world and the appearance of the temple that they gained Intelligence, which has been passed down to this day.

Even Old Wang suspected that this dramatic change in the world might be the work of Demon God.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that the temple suddenly appeared just as the sun disappeared?

However, this doesn't explain why the Demon God provided these wolves with Intelligence; Old Wang believes there must be some reason he doesn't know.
