"The patriarch of the Strength Clan... to think he still calls himself a slave."
In Spirit Hall, neither Bibi Dong nor Qian Daoliu looked pleased.
The Primordial World had exceeded their expectations and strengthened their enemy as well.
Once the two worlds fully merged, how would their Spirit Hall withstand them?
"Big brother, don't worry too much. Xiao Xue has become a god too."
Hearing this, Qian Daoliu looked worriedly at the image of Qian Renxue.
"This Primordial World is no simple place. I hope Xiao Xue stays safe."
Qian Daoliu turned to Bibi Dong. "Next, I'll instruct all the elders to make every preparation to enter the Primordial World. If anyone else from Spirit Hall enters it, I want them to meet up with Xiao Xue immediately."
Bibi Dong hesitated repeatedly at his words.
"What are you still considering? The situation now is nothing like before. Xiao Xue is your daughter!"
Qian Daoliu grew angry, a rare occurrence.
"All right. I agree."
Bibi Dong finally nodded in assent.
Very satisfied that Bibi Dong understood the bigger picture, Qian Daoliu sent someone to summon all the elders for a meeting.
At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi rose immediately.
"If I could take a couple of breaths in the Primordial World, could I break through my shackles too?"
Being limited by his Martial Soul to a maximum of rank seventy-nine had been the pain of his life.
"Fengzhi, this world is probably no simple place. You're clever. Gather information carefully; it might come in useful someday."
"I know, Uncle Jian."
Ning Fengzhi stared at the Light Screen with shining eyes.
He wanted to figure out everything about the Primordial World through the Light Screen's live broadcast, so he would know what to do when he entered it.
On the Light Screen, Tai Tan had completed his transformation and begun to move.
"Next, I need to find out where this is and choose a suitable foothold for my master."
Tai Tan looked at the lush mountain forest before him. He stood on a rugged mountain path.
"As long as I follow the road, I'm bound to meet someone."
Tai Tan felt confident, having just raised his strength to a level even he found outrageous, and his physique continued to grow stronger with every breath.
Much of his wariness faded, and he strode down the middle of the road.
Before he had gone half a kilometer, a sudden jumble of footsteps reached his ears, followed by several burly men leaping out.
"Hold it!"
"I opened this road and planted these trees! If you want to pass, leave your toll!"
The five burly men held steel sabers, and their leader was one-eyed. Judging by size alone, one Tai Tan was worth three of them, yet they had jumped out just like that.
Even Tai Tan froze for a moment before bursting into laughter.
Even during his most destitute years, he had merely huddled away in Heaven Dou City and never encountered bandits. Now that he had become a god, to think he would be waylaid-it was simply laughable.
On the Douluo Continent, Tang Hao watched from hiding, his chronically unwashed face blooming like a chrysanthemum.
"Tai Tan, I've seen your loyalty. Kill these bandits and start by claiming the mountain as your domain. Once I arrive, this will be the Clear Sky Sect's branch in the Primordial World. I'll allow you to continue being my watchdog."
At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and even Spirit Hall, everyone watching the Light Screen burst into laughter.
"That opening scene almost bluffed me. Looking at this, the people in this Primordial World have no brains either."
"That's the patriarch of the Strength Clan, not to mention that he just broke through to the legendary realm of gods, and now he's run into highwaymen."
At Shrek, Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back, his face carrying an arrogance of unknown origin as his gaze swept over everyone present.
"You see? Just as I said, the people of this world have no strength of character whatsoever. Giving them such a fine environment is a waste."
"Teacher is right. An environment like that should be given to us."
Tang San nodded in agreement. Even those who thought there had been something wrong with Yu Xiaogang's earlier words could find no fault with them now.
There was no helping it. The people of this Primordial World were simply too disappointing.
On the Light Screen, Tai Tan knocked his fists together.
"You want to rob me? Let's see if you've got what it takes."
With that, Tai Tan unleashed all his Soul Rings, and brilliant golden light shone.
"Master, this old slave won't disgrace you."
The light of the Soul Rings illuminated Tai Tan's aged face. Though accustomed to being a slave, he straightened his back now, feeling himself capable of anything.
"What the fuck is that? Afraid I can't see clearly, so you're giving me some light?"
The bandits frowned at the rising Soul Rings.
"Enough dawdling. Hand over your money or die."
The one-eyed man swung his saber down at Tai Tan, who wore a look of contempt and did not even move to block.
Shluk!
The next instant, the sound of a blade entering flesh rang out. Blood spurted high, Tai Tan's expression froze forever, and his massive body crashed to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
"Pah! All that size for nothing."
The one-eyed leader spat, stepped forward, and searched Tai Tan's body.
"Fuck, not a damn thing. What rotten luck."
Finding nothing, the one-eyed man cursed as he led his men back into the dense forest to await their next fated visitor.
Once quiet returned to the scene, a figure barely three inches tall flashed past in a corner amid yellow light, and an indistinct voice could faintly be heard.
"Tsk, this old man arrived too late. Bad luck for you. Sorry for the trouble, you two envoys. Just take this soul away. His name isn't in my book."
Tai Tan's wails could also faintly be heard.
Only when Tai Tan's image disappeared completely and the display in the sky became three images did the people of the Douluo Continent begin to react.
"What happened? A bandit actually hacked Tai Tan to death with one stroke after he'd become a god?"
"It's fake. This has to be fake! He was a legendary god!"
"Could even ordinary people in the Primordial World be stronger than the legendary gods?"
At Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang's face turned the color of pig liver.
"Even if he was hacked to death with one stroke, that's only because they've been breathing the Primordial World's air since birth. Their strength was piled up by sheer accumulation. In truth, they don't understand the first thing about theory!"
Yu Xiaogang tried to forcefully salvage his dignity, while Tang San fell silent.
He truly had been shaken. Was theory really useful under these circumstances?
Tang San couldn't help tightening his grip on his Sleeve Arrow before feeling slightly reassured.
"If I used Hidden Weapons, I'd definitely be fine."
At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi lost his footing and collapsed onto a stone stool.
"Uncle... Uncle Jian..."
Then he saw that Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo both wore expressions of shock.
"That was a legendary god, and he died just like that?"
"And what exactly was that yellow light at the end?"
"A pity he died so quickly. He didn't even leave behind any useful information."
At Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong's scepter fell to the floor. The newly assembled elders all gaped, speechless.
"It seems that even though we overestimated the Primordial World, it still wasn't enough."
Qian Daoliu smiled bitterly. At this moment, the Angel God's inheritance he had guarded his entire life felt like a joke.
If the Angel God went there, would she win?
Meanwhile, every faction had been thrown into an uproar. It could be said that Tai Tan's death had given them their first direct, real sense of how terrifying the Primordial World was.
The clever ones had already adjusted their mindsets, put away their arrogance, and quietly placed themselves in a lowly position, asking only to learn something of how to survive in the Primordial World.
At the same time, some ambitious people grew even more eager to go to the Primordial World.
Just then, Xiao Wu's image drew their attention.
