Chapter 2155: Chapter 3: We Admit Defeat (10,000 Words)

Venerable Yu Mu and Venerable Zhaibing were stupefied, but Zhao Xing laughed.

Withdraw the divine power? That cabin itself is merely at the level of a Reincarnation Daoist Soldier. If the divine power is withdrawn, with my own ability, I wouldn’t even need to destroy the cabin; I could shock the two to death through the cabin.

"Meng Wu, don’t do it, if you withdraw it now, wouldn’t you be dooming us?"

"Meng Wu, you must have been lying about the Martial God’s message, you are being partial!"

"General Meng, Lord Meng..."

At first, the two demigods of Carlos still spoke defiantly, but when Meng Wu aimed a gourd at the cabin, and the inscriptions began to turn into golden light being absorbed, they truly panicked and started pleading incessantly.

However, Meng Wu only looked at them coldly: "Back then, when you acted, I advised you not to make it so ugly."

"In the end, you turned around and launched an economic siege, forcing Great Zhou to engage in a war of cause and effect."

"Heaven’s actions can still be remedied, but self-inflicted disasters cannot be survived."

Having said that, Meng Wu, disliking their noise, directly blocked the sound coming from inside.

While absorbing the divine power, Meng Wu turned his head to look over: "Zhao Xing."

"General Meng." Zhao Xing cupped his hands, always holding great respect for Meng Wu. Back at the Yuanhai Conference, when they deceived Meng Wu into coming, he generously didn’t make an issue of it, merely imprisoning himself for five hundred years, which had somewhat of a training nature, allowing him to learn the Great Five Finger Mountain from Wu Tian.

Later, during the development of the Ancient Star Path, Meng Wu, as a collaborator, actually did some things beyond the cooperation, such as stopping the Carlos Family’s military actions.

But after that, during the cause and effect war triggered by business warfare, Meng Wu couldn’t help more.

After all, he was not alone and had to consider the thoughts of many people.

"In the early Desolate Domain Era, a time-space defense node was formally established. At that time, the Great Emperor and many God Realm individuals took some protective measures for their meritorious subordinates to prevent them from perishing in the Desolate Domain Era."

Meng Wu explained: "During that time of united enmity, Carlos Priest sought my master to inscribe words for his son."

"My teacher inscribed the martial virtues on a stone wall with divine power, namely benevolence, righteousness, trust, courage, courtesy, filial piety, loyalty, with a warning against arrogance and debauchery."

"Subsequently, Carlos Priest transformed the stone wall into a boundary ship cabin and gave it to his son."

"After giving it away, my master went into seclusion."

Zhao Xing quietly listened to this story of the past.

Meng Wu continued, "You also know, in the empire’s system, the strong have great privileges, especially so for families like the Carlos Family. So, the inscriptions left by my master were merely a beautiful expectation, not expecting them to be moral gentlemen."

"As long as they didn’t go too far, the inscriptions infused with my master’s essence, energy, and spirit could continue to protect them."

"But if they went too far, these inscriptions would gradually erode."

Zhao Xing suddenly understood: "No wonder I saw that most of the words on the cabin were blurred, with only three characters and the signature of the Martial God remaining. So, that’s how it is."

Meng Wu nodded: "Yes, but with my master in seclusion, he wouldn’t manage such trivial matters. He merely instructed me that if someday the martial virtue divine power he left fades away, to retrieve the remaining divine power."

Zhao Xing nodded. The two Venerables of the Carlos Family had worn away the inscriptions, which might not have violated imperial laws. For example, their wanton slaughter of second-class cultivators didn’t violate imperial laws. Even with their privileges, some things could be atoned for with fines.

For a family like the Carlos Family, as long as they don’t commit treason, they can generally prosper indefinitely.

However, the imperial law serves as only the most basic moral line. The standard of the Martial God Yan Ao is evidently above this line.

Though they may not be punished by the empire, they would not enjoy Yan Ao’s divine protection either.

"Zhao Xing, my task is complete." The divine power brilliance quickly faded completely, and Meng Wu swallowed the gourd into his belly.

"Whatever you want to do, do it."

"However, my teacher asked me to convey a message to you."

"Please, General Meng, go ahead." Zhao Xing became respectful, not rushing to act.

"My teacher says:"

"You have great potential to reach the God-making Realm, don’t waste your energy on such matters. Avoid tormenting them with cruel methods, give them a swift end."

Zhao Xing nodded: "This junior has learned."

After Meng Wu finished speaking, he left without looking back.

At that moment, inside the cabin, Venerable Yu Mu and Venerable Zhaibing, who could still hear the conversation between Meng Wu and Zhao Xing, were completely bewildered.

"Zhao Xing has potential to reach the God-making Realm? Did I hear wrong?"

"Oh my God, neither father nor elder brother have received such an evaluation, yet the Martial God Yan Ao actually says Zhao Xing is ’very hopeful’?"

"Had we known, how could we have dared to target Zhao Xing..."

Venerable Yu Mu and Venerable Zhaibing both started to tremble.

If they had known Zhao Xing had such an evaluation, they would never have set their sights on the Ancient Star Path.

"Now, it’s too late to say anything! Brother, quickly reincarnate!" Venerable Yu Mu said to Venerable Zhaibing. "Reincarnation still holds the hope of survival."

"If Zhao Xing triggers the True Spirit Tribulation, it will be completely over."

Venerable Zhaibing gritted his teeth and immediately pulled out his Lifebound Reincarnation Daoist from his bosom, intending to undergo true spirit reincarnation.

However, just at that moment, the cabin suddenly shattered, and their reincarnation secret technique was interrupted.

The two appeared in a fiery red world.

Zhao Xing had swallowed the two along with the cabin.

Having activated the second secret technique of the Nine Marsh Gods’ descendants: Heavenly Ruins Five Organs.
