Chapter 2037: Your Mountain God Isn't Home, Stop Wasting Your Effort!

Chapter 2037: Chapter 1610: Your Mountain God Isn’t Home, Stop Wasting Your Effort!

It must be said, those old men in Smelting City really know how to gauge the situation. Just one glance, and they realize they’re no match for this treasure thief!

In such a scenario, the legendary Mountain God that supposedly exists in Smelting City is their only hope!

But what they don’t know is that the little kid they’ve pinned all their hopes on is currently pretending not to understand while actually knowing everything, so…

Originally, their abacus was clacking away, but it was doomed to have no result!

Gu Changsheng held the Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp, tilting her neck as she looked at the reverent expressions of the Metallurgy Alliance Leader and others, her mouth twitching incessantly…

Geez, they’re praying to Baby Jin Bao, right?

How can Baby Jin Bao, such an unreliable sticky plaster, be worthy of such worship, to be treated as a god?

Gu Changsheng felt that no matter how unreliable she was at times, she was still more dependable than Baby Jin Bao, who spent all day dreaming of becoming a god and forcing others to become gods!

This is really the kind of thing that drives people crazy with jealousy!

“Pray for the Mountain God’s protection over Divine Mount Qilian! Pray for the Mountain God’s protection over Smelting City!”

“Pray for the Mountain God’s protection over Divine Mount Qilian! Pray for the Mountain God’s protection over Smelting City!”

“…”

With each sincere prayer, the old men on the stage continuously called out, making Gu Changsheng’s scalp numb…

“I advise you all not to waste your time…” Unable to bear it any longer, Gu Changsheng finally decided to let her conscience speak for once to remind these devoted believers!

Because their faith was completely useless!

Gu Changsheng could easily imagine what Baby Jin Bao, who was with her corporeal form, was doing right now, surely treating these people’s prayers as nothing!

“Shut up! You treasure thief, attempting to desecrate our Smelting City!”

But as soon as Gu Changsheng finished her words, the Metallurgy Alliance Leader shouted lowly, “Could it be that you know our Mountain God is about to appear, and you’re scared?”

“Haha…” Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng awkwardly chuckled and spoke very honestly, “You’re overthinking it, sir!”

It must be said, speaking to someone transparent as though they don’t exist feels quite weird. People around the stage had an eerie feeling as though they were seeing ghosts, yet this feeling was immensely real because the Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp was still suspended in midair, looking like it was being held in someone’s arms…

Seeing her good-intentioned reminder unappreciated, Gu Changsheng could only shrug indifferently, losing interest entirely in this god-inviting ritual!

What interest is there, really!

Praying to a ranking, to an unreliable kid, yet these folks sincerely believe it!

Gu Changsheng felt that people were foolish, beyond help!

Alright, they can do whatever they wish!

She should focus on getting her hands on the other two Divine Weapons; that’s what matters, not wasting time watching this group of old men acting like irrational fools!

“Hand over the other two Divine Weapons! Don’t make me resort to force! I have no intention of harming anyone, I just want the Divine Weapons!”

The low voice, tinged with undeniable pressure, came from Gu Changsheng’s mouth, her patience almost depleted!

In fact, Gu Changsheng was also worried about her corporeal form’s current state, which was far from optimistic, also suffering from Divine Soul Injury; her spirit being separated for too long might have unforeseen consequences!

Thus, she preferred a swift battle, snatch and run!

“How dare you!”

Upon hearing this, the Metallurgy Alliance Leader let out a low roar, yet refrained from standing up from the ground, maintaining his kneeling posture, and reverently praying again, “Supreme Mountain God, please appear and punish this evildoer desecrating our Smelting City!”

“Please appear…”

“…”

The Metallurgy Alliance Leader was already somewhat anxious; in fact, he feared the treasure thief would really resort to action!

Because they couldn’t fathom this treasure thief, having no idea about her origins, only knowing her strength far surpassed their own; thus, engaging with her would bring no benefit, possibly losing more than gaining, failing to protect treasure and losing themselves!

Having lived this long, do you think those old men in Smelting City lived for nothing?

The older one gets, the more they value their lives, those old men are quite unwilling to risk themselves!

Thus, they wait!

Waiting for the legendary Mountain God that has always protected their Smelting City to appear…

Though they had never seen the Mountain God, handed down through generations, they firmly believed Smelting City’s presence within Divine Mount Qilian was due to the Mountain God’s protection; their Mountain God certainly exists!

As long as their Mountain God appears, they don’t have to take risks, and Smelting City won’t be humiliated by the treasure thief again!

This treasure thief will surely witness the might of their Smelting City!

Kill the chicken to scare the monkey, let’s see who dares to target their Smelting City in the future!

Gu Changsheng looked at the crowd kneeling around the arena, watching their devout kowtows, their foreheads even reddened to the extreme. She couldn’t help but take a long deep breath…

Being a god, is it really that great?

To be regarded as a beacon of hope by others?

To allow people, in their helplessness, to place their last hopes?

Baby Jin Bao is just a little spirit, yet it received such devotion from people. So what about a real god?

What would the era of the Ancient Wilderness, rumored to have the existence of gods, be like?

Gu Changsheng suddenly remembered that Baby Jin Bao followed her because it wanted to persuade her to cultivate into becoming a god…

But then, what is the purpose of becoming a god?

To receive such worship? To bear the hopes of all people, to save all beings?

Gu Changsheng shook her head, she couldn’t do it!

She herself was still struggling within her emotions and desires, so how could she become a god who saves all beings?

She, Gu Changsheng, clearly did not have the consciousness of being a god, Baby Jin Bao was thinking too much!

“No need to pray, your Mountain God is not at home and won’t hear your prayers!” sighing, Gu Changsheng interrupted the unified prayers of the people in and around the arena again, “Be sensible, hand over the Top Three Divine Weapons quickly. I only want the Divine Weapon and nothing else, I bear no harm in mind! If you insist on delaying, I will have to take action myself!”

The wick of the Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp flickered with light, and strands of blood-red threads slowly emanated from around the Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp, like a dense net, invisible yet imposing, enveloping the entire arena almost instantly!

The heads of the Metallurgical Alliance were taken aback, their eyes widening in shock!

“Impossible! This is impossible! How can there be someone in the world whose oppression can take form? This is impossible!” The Metallurgical Alliance Leader cried out in disbelief, echoing throughout the arena, as the onlookers around the arena watched the blood threads spread with expressions as though struck by lightning.

In Smelting City, a Divine Weapon Convention is held every year, and each time invincible divine weapons emerge, yet they had never seen such a mysterious and profound Divine Weapon Convention!

What exactly is going on?

The leaders on the arena say the thief is just a person, yet they didn’t see the person’s shadow. It was as if they were in a dream where everything seemed so unreal…

Yet so real that when they thought about it, it left them breathless…

Not to mention the crowd below the arena was incredulous, even the elders atop the arena had expressions as if they had swallowed a fly, internally marvelling at the wisdom of not acting rashly; it truly was a very, very wise decision!

What kind of Ghost is this treasure thief?

Is this even human?

In that instant, the Metallurgical Alliance Leader and the others exchanged glances, suddenly doubting their previous assessments. Were they off by that much? How could a human be this powerful? Could it be the one coming to steal the treasure isn’t human at all?

Humans can’t possibly be this abnormal!

They are Masters of the Transformative Realm, and from ancient to present, in general knowledge, a Master of the Transformative Realm is the pinnacle a human can achieve, yet compared to this treasure thief, they were completely outclassed…

They couldn’t see this person’s Spirit God, nor could they sense this person’s strength. Their own Spirit God couldn’t even materialize sound into shape, not to mention condense oppression into form…

This treasure thief defies the heavens!

“The divine weapon cannot be lost, it is the dignity of our Smelting City! Our Mountain God will come! It will surely come!” The Metallurgical Alliance Leader murmured almost as if to self-hypnotize.

Although no real battle occurred yet, he already knew he likely wouldn’t withstand a single move under this treasure thief!

Admitting this fact was somewhat difficult, yet a fact is a fact, and as a Master of the Transformative Realm, the elders had that bit of awareness!

“I have already told you, your Mountain God is not at home, to avoid harming the innocent, obediently hand over the Top Three Divine Weapons. Rest assured, your Mountain God will certainly not blame you. With the divine weapon in my hands, it is most being put to good use and won’t diminish the dignity of your Smelting City!”

Gu Changsheng’s hand slowly stretched out, strands of blood-red threads spiraled according to the outline of her hand…

Oppression!

Endless oppression, not seemingly tangible but indeed tangible!

Oppression that suffocates!

“You will not succeed! We cannot allow you to steal the divine weapon!”

The Metallurgical Alliance Leader saw this, exchanged a glance with his companions, the situation was urgent, a battle was imminent, and if they continued to delay, the divine weapon would be stolen. They had no choice but to take action…
