He had long served beside the Wind Erasure God King and knew very well the affection the Wind Erasure God King had for Liu Bing.
...Inside the palace.
"Greetings, Master." Liu Bing respectfully saluted. To the Wind Erasure God King, she still held great respect.
The other party had indeed guided and nurtured her with dedication.
Being able to quickly ascend to the Heavenly God Realm was inseparable from the contributions of the Wind Erasure God King.
"Little Bing, to have ascended to the Heavenly God Realm so quickly, even removing the influence of bloodline, you could still rank in the top three among my many disciples." The Wind Erasure God King looked down at Liu Bing: "What are your plans next? Will you continue with concealed cultivation, or?"
"Disciple plans to first return to the Divine Court Headquarters and then return to my hometown, the ’Mohe Star Domain’." Liu Bing solemnly stated.
"You also know about your elder brother, the Heart Origin Divine Monarch, then." The Wind Erasure God King sighed softly: "My condolences."
The matter of Li Yuan had already spread, so the Wind Erasure God King naturally knew.
However, she was not aware that Li Yuan had practiced the Doppelganger Technique.
"Disciple believes that elder brother will surely overcome this peril." Liu Bing said in a low voice.
She was always unwilling to believe that Li Yuan would truly fall.
"Perhaps." The Wind Erasure God King did not comment, changing the topic: "The Firewood Divine Country was just established recently, occupying a vast territory... When Heart Origin Divine Monarch was around, everything was fine, but now that he’s not, I’m afraid the Abyss Divine Court might counterattack. Have you considered this?"
Liu Bing fell silent.
Though stubborn with her words, deep down she also knew... her master, being a God King, did not think highly of Li Yuan; the chances of Li Yuan returning alive were very slim.
She must first consider the entire Firewood Divine Country.
Not to mention, when Mo Lian Divine Monarch returns from Beichen Star, they will likely hurry back... The Abyss Divine Court might send strong Divine Monarchs for support too.
And what about the Firewood Divine Country’s side?
Heavenly Gods may seem numerous, but the Sword Demon Heavenly God is in seclusion, and currently, there isn’t even a Heavenly God Fourth Rank.
Moreover, without Li Yuan as a connection, the Sword Demon Heavenly God might not be willing to return either.
"Previously, your senior brother Huo Ye mentioned to me wanting to form a dao partnership with you." The Wind Erasure God King looked down at Liu Bing: "Now that you have ascended to Heavenly God, you two are compatible."
"If you two form a dao partnership, you could inherit the position of the King of the Firewood Divine Country."
"Your senior brother Huo Ye could also help you guard the Firewood Divine Country. What do you think?" the Wind Erasure God King asked: "In the future, when you become a Divine Monarch, you as senior and junior brother would also make a good story."
Liu Bing decisively said: "Right now, my elder brother is in danger, and I’m worried about that. I have no interest in matters of love, and I hope Master will not bring it up again... As for the position of the King of the Firewood Divine Country, it has always belonged to my elder brother. Even if my elder brother truly falls, it should be taken over by another elder of mine, the East Pole True God; it’s not my place."
"As for the safety of the Firewood Divine Country, the disciple will have a way." Liu Bing said in a low voice: "If Master has nothing else, the disciple shall take her leave."
After saying that, Liu Bing prepared to stand up.
"You young girl, if you don’t want to, you don’t want to. Why be so reactive?" The Wind Erasure God King smiled helplessly and waved a hand.
An invisible force pressed down on Liu Bing, making it hard for her to move.
"Your senior brother Huo Ye proposed, and I thought you two had already discussed it privately. Since you don’t want it, then so be it; Master won’t force you." The Wind Erasure God King smiled.
Liu Bing was stunned for a moment and instantly realized she had misunderstood her master.
"I plead for Master’s forgiveness." Liu Bing said softly.
"It is the master who misunderstood, what guilt do you have?" The Wind Erasure God King waved her hand again, and a pair of Divine Claws emitting a hazy glow slowly descended to Liu Bing’s front.
Then, a set of Combat Armor engraved with complex Secret Runes appeared, dazzlingly bright.
"I mentioned before that when you became a Heavenly God, I would give you a congratulatory gift."
"This pair of Divine Claws is a set of God King Weapons I refined in my spare time, considered as a congratulatory gift for you; take them." The Wind Erasure God King pampered her: "As for the other set of armor, it’s also God King-level armor... consider it a compensation for my misunderstanding."
"Master, I?" Liu Bing was momentarily choked up.
She well understood that this was her master finding a reason to gift her treasures.
God Kings live for tens of millions of years, while Heavenly Gods live only hundreds of thousands... so God Kings often take many disciples.
Even so-called direct disciples are not necessarily valued unless they become ’Top Divine Monarchs.’ This text is hosted at NoveIＦire.net
Throughout the Chaos Divine Court, receiving a God King Weapon gift is remarkable.
To be gifted two items? Extremely rare.
"Thank you, Master." Liu Bing said gratefully, understanding that she needed these treasures.
The two God King Weapons would greatly enhance her power.
"I’ve been in seclusion for many years, and right now, only your senior brother Huo Ye is a Divine Monarch in my ranks." The Wind Erasure Divine Monarch said: "Other Divine Monarchs... are inconvenient to assign; the matter of the Firewood Divine Country is up to you to resolve."
"Yes, this small matter should not trouble the master." Liu Bing said in a low voice.
Across the Chaos Divine Court, on average, a God King’s ranks include only three or four Divine Monarchs.
Few God Kings bother nurturing disciples.
As a result, many God Kings have only one or two Divine Monarchs or even none... having Divine Monarchs under their command is somewhat useful in handling minor matters for them.
On the other hand, a leader of an Emperor Palace like the Dong Mang God King has many Divine Monarchs under him.
Liu Bing flew out of the Wind Erasure God King’s secluded area.
"Junior sister, I..." The Divine Monarch Huo Ye, who had been waiting outside, hurriedly flew up at the sight.
"Say no more." Liu Bing coldly stated: "The guidance and leadership you’ve shown me, I will remember. If you need my help in the future, you can send a message... but if you bring up the dao partnership again, we won’t even have the camaraderie of fellow disciples."
