Witnessing Blessing Gift

Stone Village.

"I'm back!"

Shi Hao swaggered into the village with Huo Ling'er slung over his shoulder. Under everyone's watchful eyes, he awkwardly returned to the welcoming embrace of the Stone Village villagers.

Amid the villagers' warm hospitality, Huo Ling'er toured Stone Village with Shi Hao and, as promised, met Stone Village's ancestral sacrificial spirit—the Willow God.

From the Willow God's account, the two learned the truth and specific meaning behind the Domain calamity.

"So it's a struggle for resources among the big shots of the Upper Realm. As expected, strength is what truly matters."

Shi Hao clenched his fists and silently made up his mind. He had to keep cultivating and growing stronger until he could stand against all challengers and no longer be at others' mercy.

Before long, he had immersed himself in cultivation. Huo Ling'er, who had nothing to do nearby, was invited by the villagers to attend the evening banquet.

Once Shi Hao finished cultivating, he was naturally called to the banquet as well. After a busy day, he finally returned to his room.

"Ah—You bastard! You filthy pervert! What are you doing in here?" Huo Ling'er, lying on the bed, immediately cried out when she saw who had entered.

"Hey now—this is my room..."

Shi Hao was kicked out the door by Huo Ling'er and slunk away from his own house. Then he spotted the villagers hiding outside the wall, watching the show.

"We gave you a chance, but you couldn't make use of it!" After tossing out those words, the villagers hurriedly scattered as though nothing had happened.

Shi Hao gave a helpless, bitter smile. "I have a home, but I can't go back to it."

"We're here. This is my home." Yun Xi pointed at the palace halls of Heavenly God Divine Mountain
