Treasure? Shadow Hammer!

As Grey Wolf finished speaking, that pitch-black Shadow Wolf carrying a large sack instantly moved!

The Shadow Wolf's massive body leaped into the air, its form twisting as it lunged at Qin Chuan with ferocious momentum. Its fist whistled through the air, carrying an incredibly intimidating pressure.

Watching the Shadow Wolf charge with such aggressive force, then glancing at the wildly grinning Grey Wolf, Qin Chuan simply stood his ground, his expression calm and unruffled.

"It seems I have no choice but to act." He spoke these words lightly, casually releasing a sliver of golden spiritual energy that struck out with the force of a thousand pounds.

Puff!

There was no earth-shattering roar, only a faint sound of shattering.

The domineering and pure spiritual fist crushed everything in its path. The ferocious Shadow Wolf before him couldn't even hold on for a second; in an instant, it crumbled bit by bit, turning into black dust that filled the sky before dissipating completely into the air, leaving not even a trace behind!

One move!

Just a casual, single move!

Grey Wolf's strongest trump card had been wiped out of existence.

The scene fell into instant, deathly silence.

Grey Wolf's smile froze completely on his face. His eyes bulged, his mind went blank, and he was utterly dumbfounded.

My shadow! My invincible Shadow Wolf henchman!

Just like that, it was insta-killed by this damn guy with a casual flick?!

A massive wave of terror swept through his entire body. Grey Wolf trembled all over, his legs turning to jelly from fear. Without a moment's hesitation, he lowered his head and begged for mercy:

"G-Godly Brother! Thank you, Godly Brother, for saving my life—"

"Actually, I've always been controlled by this shadow demon. He forced me to catch the little sheep. Everyone in the Green Green Grassland knows that I have the best relationship with the little sheep... Now that the demon has been killed by Godly Brother, I am saved. Thank you, Godly Brother!"

In truth, the shadows summoned by the Shadow Hammer had one weakness besides the one-hour time limit: the user felt whatever the shadow felt.

Because the Shadow Wolf was shattered by Qin Chuan's punch, Grey Wolf felt his stomach churning violently, but he forced himself to endure it to avoid getting beaten up.

Qin Chuan's face twitched slightly, but he managed to hold back: "Aren't you going to release all the little sheep you've captured yet!"

"Yes, yes... I'll release them right now..."

Completely terrified, Grey Wolf no longer dared to harbor any schemes and hurriedly untied the sack on his back.

Five little sheep and Slow Sheep immediately crawled out of the sack, one by one, still shaken and gasping for air, lingering in fear.

Having dealt with the shadow and intimidated Grey Wolf, Qin Chuan looked indifferent and said casually:

"If you know your mistakes and correct them, I will spare you this once."

"However, such is the way of nature. You live by eating meat, and hunting year-round is normal. I cannot force you to eat grass every day. How about this..."

As he finished speaking, Qin Chuan moved his mind.

Hum!

A massive corpse of a giant bear appeared out of thin air on the ground.

This was the Diamond Violent Bear he had casually killed while in the Star Dou Great Forest. Its meat was thick and rich, and it possessed cultivation, making it the most suitable for consumption.

"This Diamond Violent Bear corpse is a gift for you as compensation."

"Let today's business end here! From now on, behave yourself and do not slaughter the sheep flock again, and you can live in peace. I will be watching you."

Looking at the massive, meaty giant bear corpse before him, Grey Wolf couldn't hear anything else; his eyes were glowing!

This giant bear was like a small mountain, and it smelled much better than the scrawny little sheep! Plus, he didn't have to risk his life to catch it—it was top-tier food delivered for free!

He had never eaten bear before—

Though he had never actually eaten a little sheep, either.

Grey Wolf frantically nodded and thanked him: "Thank you, Godly Brother! I will definitely listen! I won't catch sheep ever again! Then I'll head home now, my wife is still waiting for me at home..."

After saying this, Grey Wolf couldn't wait to drag the giant bear corpse away. Just as he was about to leave, Qin Chuan suddenly said:

"Give me your Shadow Hammer. Since you were controlled by the demon shadow, this item is too dangerous. It is safer for me to keep it."

After some calculation, Qin Chuan finally revealed his own little agenda.

On this trip, he not only wanted to befriend the wolves and sheep—the original inhabitants and protagonists—but he was also drooling over this invention of Grey Wolf's.

To be able to summon one's own shadow to fight for oneself... one must know that this shadow was summoned exactly according to one's own template, and through special methods, could even summon a shadow more powerful than oneself.

There was a similar ability in mythology, a great divine power called "One Qi Transforms Three Purities."

As for the one-hour time limit and the so-called shared pain...

Thinking of the various inventions and tools of Grey Wolf and Slow Sheep in this world, Qin Chuan felt a surge of ambition and had the idea of building his own treasure vault.

As for his greatest reliance for building this vault...

"Shadow Hammer?" Grey Wolf was confused, but he handed it over readily. In his eyes, this thing wasn't as useful as a meal, and it had been killed by someone with a casual strike; he despised the inventor of this tool from the bottom of his heart.

"Godly Brother is righteous and selfless. From now on, I, Grey Wolf, will follow Godly Brother's lead..."

After saying a mouthful, he handed the Shadow Hammer to Qin Chuan. Grey Wolf fought back the drool at the corner of his mouth and asked eagerly:

"Godly Brother, can I go now?"

"Let's go, let's go!" Qin Chuan waved his hand, his mood exceptionally good.

Having received permission, Grey Wolf erupted with incredible strength, dragging the giant bear's carcass away in a mad dash, terrified that this true god-tier big shot might change his mind.

Within the forest, silence was finally restored.

Pleasant Goat, Pretty Goat, Boiling Goat, Lazy Goat, Warm Goat, and the elderly village head, Slow Sheep, all stood rooted to the spot.

They stared with uncertainty and suspicion at the blurry figure shrouded in divine light ahead.

Seeing this, Qin Chuan's mind stirred.

He put away the Shadow Hammer, placing it into his system inventory.

Then, the golden divine light manifested and projected by his spiritual power slowly receded, retracting entirely into his body until he returned to the appearance of a human youth. His temperament became gentle, no longer possessing the biting, majestic pressure from when he was playing the part of a god.

He walked slowly toward the little sheep, his expression peaceful: "Are you all alright, my friends?"

"What kind of animal are you? Why do you look so strange?" The group of little sheep tensed up instantly, shielding Slow Sheep as they watched him with eyes full of vigilance and curiosity.

Slow Sheep adjusted his reading glasses and scrutinized Qin Chuan for a long time. His aged eyes were filled with confusion before he finally spoke first:

"You look like this... are you a human?"

Qin Chuan nodded slightly, his smile composed: "That's right, I am a human."

Hearing this, the little sheep exchanged glances, their faces full of astonishment.

Pleasant Goat was puzzled: "Village Head, what kind of animal is a human?"

Slow Sheep explained slowly: "I once read an ancient book; the ancient texts of the Green Green Grassland recorded this animal called a human. Humans are extraterrestrial beings, powerful and mysterious; they are a very dangerous animal..."

At this point, Slow Sheep's face was full of apprehension, yet he could not suppress the lingering confusion in his heart, and he continued to press:

"But your appearance just now was nothing like the ordinary humans recorded in the ancient books. Who exactly are you?"

Qin Chuan swept his gaze over the little sheep. His tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable, absolute sense of control as he spoke slowly:

"As you said, it is true that I am a human."

"But at the same time, I am also the future sole ruler of this world. In common parlance, I am the one and only god of this world."

As these words fell, the breeze came to a sudden halt.

The atmosphere throughout the entire forest stagnated in an instant.

"A, a god?" The little sheep were completely stunned, their faces filled with disbelief!
