Who Is the Villain

"Shi Yi has set more than one record. That last one was too dangerous; look at this one instead: leaping up with pure physical strength alone, without using any Bone Runes, and reaching a mountain peak in a single bound."

Uncle Hammer pointed at the stone tablet. Shi Yi's name was there again, marking another record—a record no one else could break.

"So powerful. One step taken, and he soared straight into the sky to land on a mountain peak. Just how terrifying must that explosive power be?"

A delicate-looking young girl nearby said with a face full of shock.

"It's hair-raising. Such explosive power is truly frightening."

Lord Bird also sighed in admiration. While others were merely amazed, he understood that to reach such a level, one had to attain the ultimate limit. It would be nothing for other creatures, but the opponent was a member of the human race—a race born physically weak.

"Uncle Hammer, Lord Bird, Grandpa Jingbi, go and find that mountain. I'll take a step and break his record."

Little One said. Since he couldn't find the Beast King, he might as well do some high jumping.

"You jump up and stand there without moving, then I'll jump over your head."

Su Ye said.

"..."

Little One looked at Su Ye, quite dissatisfied, and said, "Why do I have to jump first, and then you jump over my head?"

"Only then can I better prove that I jumped a meter higher than you."

Su Ye said earnestly.

"I'm one point five meters."

"Then that's one point five meters higher."

Little One felt very depressed. He sized up Su Ye, wondering if he should suppress the guy first, but the fellow before him seemed a bit dangerous; he probably wouldn't be easy to suppress.

Suddenly, a few people walked over together. The man in the lead revealed a set of snow-white teeth, looked at Little One, and smiled, "Little brother, let's step aside and talk."

"Don't agree. They are looking for trouble; they definitely have designs on the precious bone in your hand!" Lord Bird whispered a warning.

However, upon seeing this group, Little One's eyes glowed with greed. He agreed with such alacrity that he zipped over immediately, looking almost eager to throw himself at them.

This left Grandpa Jingbi, Lord Bird, and the others completely stunned. He went over just because they called? What kind of creature was he?

"Little brother, we heard you destroyed the passage of the Void God Realm and obtained a precious bone. Could you let us take a look?" The leading youth smiled.

"Sure!"

Little One smiled, showing no hesitation or vigilance, and handed the precious bone over directly.

"This silly baby is too simple-minded."

Lord Bird couldn't help but say.

Su Ye's mouth twitched upon hearing this, and he said, "This guy is wicked to the core; he's not simple-minded at all. These people have run into a real freak; they are destined to have a miserable time."

At this moment, not far away, a dispute broke out between Little One and those people. A group of vicious men surrounded the frail-looking child, looking like a pack of hungry wolves encircling a small lamb.

Yet, they could never have imagined that this little lamb was actually a vicious dragon draped in sheep's clothing.

"So, you're saying you want to rob me by force?"

Little One blocked those who wanted to leave, his expression somewhat unkind as he asked.

The group's expressions turned even gloomier. To think he dared to block them—he truly didn't know how to value his own life. Of course, they didn't let their guard down; after all, he was someone who had set records. Runes emerged in their hands, ready to suppress Little One.

Endless runes danced in the air, each one containing a powerful force. Had they not been in the Initial Land, the spectacle unleashed by these runes would have been even more horrifying.

However, facing this terrifying runic attack, Little One's expression showed not a hint of fear. Instead, a smile appeared on his lips. His figure flashed, dodging the attack directly. At the same time, runes emerged in his hands—a silver moon in each. The two silver moons merged, transforming into a silver millstone that rumbled toward the front.

"Rumble."

The void roared. Those runes were shattered instantly, and the entire group was sent flying by the shockwave. Little One charged forward, snatching his precious bone back.

"Clang."

"Clang."

At this moment, in the sky, red light pierced the air with a terrifying momentum. Eighteen streaks of red light flew over, emitting clanging sounds and wreathed in vast rays of light. The aura was astonishing, carrying the baleful energy of a primeval beast that chilled the soul.

A precious artifact.

Someone in the shadows had used a precious artifact to shroud Little One, intending to deliver a fatal blow.

These people had dared to come and seize Little One's precious bone, so they had naturally made full preparations. Even though they knew Little One was just a milk baby, they remained extremely cautious, having one person hold a precious artifact, ready to strike from the shadows at any moment.

"To think it's such a powerful treasure!"

The crowd exclaimed, looking at the rays of light in the sky. Those were eighteen Crimson Feathers, each over ten meters long. As they flew, they resembled eighteen blood-colored spears, their fierce aura truly shocking.

These had been refined from the precious feathers of an exotic fierce bird. Now, these feathers covered the sky, aiming to execute Little One and leave him with no path of retreat.

"Heh heh, let that guy be arrogant now; he actually dared to hit me."

The Big Gold Dog couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw Little One surrounded.

"Don't celebrate too early; be careful you don't get cleaned up in a moment."

Su Ye glanced at Big Gold Dog.

"Do you really think he can still turn the tables? That Crimson Feather is no ordinary precious artifact. Even here in the Initial Land, the power it unleashes is still terrifyingly peerless."

Big Gold Dog remarked.

"A precious artifact is a good thing, but it's a pity the one wielding it is no expert. It's like a child holding a divine weapon; the weapon might be intimidating, but it poses no real threat."

Su Ye said indifferently. With a wave of his hand, the ground rumbled, and a throne emerged. He sat directly upon it to watch the show.

"Lord Bird, do you have any melon seeds? Get some for me to snack on; just watching like this is quite dull."

Su Ye looked toward Lord Bird beside him and said.

Lord Bird gave Su Ye a speechless look and said, "This is the Void God Realm, where everything is constructed from spirit. Where would I get melon seeds? And if there were any, they certainly wouldn't be ordinary ones."

"That is precisely why I am asking you."

Su Ye said with a smile.

Lord Bird looked at Su Ye.

Su Ye looked at Lord Bird.

Their gazes met, and though neither said a word, both understood exactly what the other meant.

"Interesting."

Lord Bird suddenly laughed, and with a wave of his hand, a handful of crystalline melon seeds appeared in his palm.

Su Ye waved his hand, and streaks of runes flew out, constructing a small table beside him.

Lord Bird placed the melon seeds onto it.

Su Ye picked up a seed without ceremony. It was as crystalline as jade, as if polished from the finest gemstone, and radiated a misty luster.

He popped a seed into his mouth and nodded, saying, "Not bad, though it lacks flavor. If it were stir-fried with salt and pepper, it would surely be even more delicious."

"There really were melon seeds?"

Seeing that there actually were seeds, Big Gold Dog was left completely stunned. Although the Void God Realm was similar to the real world and contained flora, the plants here...

Never mind, eat first.

Big Gold Dog reached out and began to gorge on the seeds, watching the distant battle as he chewed.

Uncle Hammer and the others nearby were not particularly polite either, eating and watching the show, occasionally offering "pointers" as they went.
