The Growth of a God

Chapter 387 - 9: Smugglers of the Mountain and Sea Realm

A He and Amu are both stowaways.

They are humanoid beings of wisdom who have smuggled in from other worlds to the Mountain and Sea Realm.

In fact, while stowaways like A He and Amu are not many, they are not uncommon across the entire Mountain and Sea Realm.

After all, with the fame expansion with the Divine Fall Realm, and the confrontation between the Mountain and Sea People and the Godslayer Civilization at the frontline, the mysterious Mountain and Sea Civilization has long become a topic of conversation for some civilizations during meals.

Whether it’s their own world being destroyed or wanting to escape the rule of those Evil Gods...

Every moment, there are stowaways coming from other worlds, intending to sneak across the outermost barrier of the Mountain and Sea Realm in the most primitive way to smuggle into this world.

A He and Amu are the lucky ones among those millions of stowaways, being the few wise individuals who truly arrived in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

For such stowaways without any malice,

The Celestial Tao System that did not trigger the alert mechanism will not obstruct them, just simply mark them.

After arriving in this world, there will naturally be appropriate personnel to deal with these stowaways.

Although in most cases, those dealing with these stowaways are usually Innate Gods or acquired gods holding a Divine Position in the Celestial Tao System.

But in rare cases, these stowaways directly appear within the Earth Realm of the Mountain and Sea Civilization, only then will they be sheltered and managed by the Mountain and Sea People.

Compared to other stowaways, A He and Amu are both considered lucky and unlucky.

The lucky part is, A He and Amu landed in the "Dongli City" of the Mountain and Sea Civilization, rather than some barren land of poverty and desolation.

The Zhiku of Dongli City reacted immediately, dispatching the nearest Mountain and Sea People to the landing site.

The unfortunate part is, the spaceship A He and Amu used for smuggling was completely destroyed in a space-time storm.

They barely managed to crawl out from a pile of wreckage, looking so aged that they didn’t resemble living beings who could live to that age at all.

Luckily, both of them were powerful Ascenders, otherwise, what would have crawled out from the wreckage would have been two skeletons.

Even so, after crossing the vortex of time and space, the Void Divine Hall, and the barriers of the Mountain and Sea Realm itself, A He and Amu were already at their wit’s end.

"We must not die yet..."

The exhausted A He struggled to stand up, then attempted to help up the equally limp Amu on the ground.

"Yes, I must not die yet."

Upon hearing A He’s voice, Amu, who had been protecting her belly all along, first froze, then forced a smile.

"At least before the baby is born, I must live bravely."

.........................................................

When Taihang, who was specifically responsible for handling stowaways, arrived at the crash site, he saw the image of A He and Amu leaning against each other.

Taihang is a Chenghuang, one of the members of the Hundred Races who later joined the Mountain and Sea Civilization.

Like all her tribespeople, Taihang has an appearance like a fox but with a pair of wings capable of flying and escaping.

When those enormous wings slowly folded and landed, Taihang’s appearance was finally revealed to the two fearful stowaways.

Compared to Taihang, whose body was as tall as two or three stories, A He and Amu, the size of regular humans, seemed so small and insignificant.

However, to the surprise of the two, Taihang who had landed successfully did not show any fierce expressions.

On the contrary, after noticing Amu seemed to be pregnant, Taihang even deliberately restrained her movements.

"Foreigner, state your race and name."

Faced with Taihang’s questioning, A He, who faintly sensed kindness, stood up first.

"Ahem... Great and merciful Mountain and Sea People, we are refugees from the Hemudu World."

"I am A He, and she is Amu, my wife."

Just as Taihang established communication with the two stowaways, subsequent Mountain and Sea People arrived at the crash site one after another.

Among them, Skeleton man·Tang He was the most cautious, standing from a distance and analyzing the situation of A He and Amu.

"They have learned our language in advance, it seems they were not foreigners who accidentally entered our world."

Tang He, talking to himself, unlike other Skeletons, did not appear in a purely skeletal form.

Being naturally cautious, whenever Tang He left the range of Dongli City, he would immediately disguise himself with Flesh and Blood Armor, presenting a fully armed appearance.

Due to this excessively cautious nature, Tang He had caused misunderstandings more than once.

Yet he paid no heed to it, instead believing those others were not cautious enough and didn’t pay enough attention to changes in the outside world.

"Refugees? They even learned our language in advance?"

"And one of them is pregnant, could what they say be true?"

Tilting his head and staring at A He and Amu for a long time, Tang He eventually chose to believe their words.

Of course, one reason was that their story was reasonable and sensible.

The other reason was that neither had shown considerable danger from beginning to end.

[However, there is still one major problem now.]

Quietly walking to Taihang’s side, Tang He’s gaze lingered on Amu’s belly for a long time.

That is A He and Amu’s child, and simultaneously a pure Mountain and Sea People.

Because the child was conceived when traversing the space-time vortex, and it possessed a soul upon arriving in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Although this soul is not naturally powerful like a real Mountain and Sea People, instead fragile to an absurd degree.

But Tang He could be sure, this child’s soul definitely came from the Reincarnation System of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

"Have you noticed too?"

Frowning alike, Taihang turned his head and asked softly.

Just as Tang He realized the child’s existence, Taihang was also aware of the trick involved.

A He and Amu were not Mountain and Sea People, whether to imprison or expel them was common.

But the child inside, was an individual reborn with a soul from the Mountain and Sea Realm.

"I think this event has already exceeded our authority, we should leave it for the Prophets of the Institute to handle!"

Watching A He and Amu leaning and supporting each other, Tang He ultimately softened his heart.

The Mountain and Sea People are the Mountain and Sea People!

No matter how fragile the other’s soul is...

Nor whether the other’s body in this lifetime comes from another world...

As long as the soul is from the Mountain and Sea Realm, their identity as "Mountain and Sea People" is beyond question.

"You always know how to pass the buck."

Well aware of Tang He’s character, Taihang had to admit, the suggestion made by the other was indeed the best solution this time.

"Then let’s go back first. Let all await the Prophets’ decision."
