Uchiha Shin reached out to steady Shen Gongbao, not allowing him to kneel before him.
"Let's skip all that. I'm not the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Court. You may follow me, but we'll treat each other as equals, like good friends." Uchiha Shin patted his shoulder again.
Shen Gongbao nodded, deeply moved. He had never encountered such a good friend before.
He was especially happy to follow Uchiha Shin this time. He knew that Uchiha Shin was highly capable and exceptionally powerful, and that he was bound to accomplish great things in the future.
Even if they failed this time, Shen Gongbao would have no regrets, because Uchiha Shin treated him with sincerity.
A man would die for one who understood him!
"Mystic Spirit King, I think your most urgent task now is to increase your strength. You must ensure that those people in the Three Realms cannot act against you, so that you can survive. Only by staying alive is there hope."
Shen Gongbao said this to Uchiha Shin.
"Don't worry. I have plans for all of that."
Shen Gongbao nodded. "Mystic Spirit King, I don't wish to remain by your side all the time. As I said earlier, I want to travel throughout the Three Realms and investigate its situation thoroughly. Then, when I assist you in the future, I'll have the confidence to do so, and we'll know how to govern the Three Realms."
Uchiha Shin smiled. "Good. Then go and do it properly. Be careful when you're out there."
Uchiha Shin then handed his token to Shen Gongbao. "This is my token. Keep it with you. If you truly find yourself in mortal danger, it may be able to save your life."
Shen Gongbao smiled and nodded as he accepted the token.
