The Growth of a God

Chapter 720 2: Ancient God on Earth

On the first day Wang Shu arrived at the 749 Bureau, she successfully intimidated everyone except for Huo Dou.

"I thought you would wait until the next day to talk to me?"

Sitting in his office, Huo Dou gazed out at the slowly setting sun and said.

Across from him, Wang Shu watched him with a bright smile, showing none of the authority she used to intimidate others earlier.

"I've always hated trouble; anything that can be resolved today, I will never drag to the next day."

Her voice paused slightly before Wang Shu continued.

"Besides, didn't you deliberately send He Bo away to create an environment for just the two of us to talk?"

"If I couldn't even figure that out, how could I have hidden on Earth for so long?"

The room fell into silence as she spoke.

Huo Dou never expected Wang Shu to bluntly reveal both their identities.

"On Earth, huh?"

After a brief consideration, for the first time, Huo Dou seriously scrutinized the woman opposite him, who was bearing the title of the Moon God.

"'Wang Shu' is not just your title, you truly are Wang Shu herself!"

Although phrased as a question, Huo Dou spoke with absolute certainty.

He had long suspected that it was no coincidence He Bo could use the Bai Ze Map to reshape Luo God.

Aside from the Nine Songs Gods, another deity must have been coveting the power of the Bai Ze Map.

He Bo was able to use the power of the Bai Ze Map without alerting the Nine Songs Gods due to this deity's intervention.

"You're right, I am Wang Shu."

Without hiding her identity, Wang Shu nodded to confirm his guess.

"I originally intended to awaken the Bai Ze Map to fully obtain its permissions."

"However, He Bo turned out to be much smarter than I anticipated and immediately transferred the Bai Ze Map's location."

"These years, my focus has been entirely on He Bo, never thinking that Luo God was the host of the Bai Ze Map."

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Huo Dou remained skeptical about Wang Shu's explanation.

It was true that He Bo realized the danger and transferred the Bai Ze Map.

But to say Wang Shu hadn't noticed the Bai Ze Map on Luo God was simply ridiculous.

As for why Wang Shu would say this?

Recalling the ambiguous relationship between Wang Shu and He Bo, Huo Dou had a vague guess in his heart.

"You wanted He Bo to willingly hand over the Bai Ze Map..."

"But unfortunately, He Bo's mistrust was too strong, leaving me with the advantage, right?"

With a wry smile, Wang Shu did not deny Huo Dou's statement.

"That's both He Bo's flaw and his strength."

"Apart from Luo God, you're the second person he's entrusted with complete trust."

"Of course, you've lived up to that trust, truly ensuring the power of the Bai Ze Map wasn't abused."

Huo Dou immediately heard the hidden meaning in Wang Shu's words, his expression growing more surprised.

"You know the Bai Ze Map is no longer on Earth?"

To show she wasn't bluffing Huo Dou, Wang Shu nodded gently.

"I not only know the Bai Ze Map is no longer in the Fallen Area, but I also know the Creator behind you has already eliminated Di Jun."

Before Huo Dou could speak, Wang Shu looked into his eyes seriously and said.

"To be honest, in all my years of living, this is the first time I realized I'm not the only one exploring the secrets of the Fallen Area."

"Although I don't know how much effort the Creator behind you put in to safely bring you to Earth..."

"But I know that for a deity of your level to descend to such a degree, trying to ascend again is almost impossible!"

"So, we could actually strike a deal."

"I have the ability to help you return to the Ascension Area, and even continue fulfilling the mission the Creator entrusted to you."

"And my only condition is to let me see the Bai Ze Map."

Silently staring at Wang Shu, Huo Dou could tell she wasn't making empty promises.

Wang Shu indeed possessed the ability to help Huo Dou re-ascend, just like the Hunting Fish created by Li Hao himself.

"I've never heard that Wang Shu is also a Dimension God?"

Huo Dou was both probing and seriously analyzing the information in Wang Shu's recent words.

Firstly, it was certain that Wang Shu possessed ability similar to the Hunting Fish's dimensional abilities.

This had nothing to do with her strength and was akin to the God of Time, an extremely rare and special "Divine Format."

Secondly, the Fallen Area did indeed hide some kind of secret.

A significant number of gods were exploring the world left by the first Celestial Father·Haojun.

For this, Li Hao had already speculated and mentally prepared, so he wasn't overly surprised.

Lastly, and most critically, Wang Shu seemed to have a very special relationship with Bai Ze.

Not only was she aware of the Bai Ze Map's existence, but she also intended to use it for other purposes.

"What do you want the Bai Ze Map for?"

With this thought, Huo Dou suddenly asked actively.

There was no probing intent, just pure curiosity.

"Since you've gotten hold of the Bai Ze Map, you should be aware of the power known as 'Divine Sorrow' by the Jiuge Gods, right?"

"I want to use 'Divine Sorrow' to resurrect Bai Ze."

As Wang Shu's voice fell, she saw Huo Dou staring at her with a rather peculiar gaze.

At this moment, various jumbled words flashed across Huo Dou's mind.

These included, but were not limited to, love triangle, substitute, living off others, etc., trying to explain the relationship between Wang Shu, Bai Ze, and He Bo.

[It seems that spending too much time with Luo God has influenced me with all those soap operas she watches.]

Giving a heavy shake of his head, Huo Dou tried to refocus his thoughts.

"If that's all, I can agree to your request."

"But the terms of our deal need to change a bit."

"I'm not in a hurry to return to the Ascension Area; I just want to know about your life experiences and your relationship with Bai Ze."

Now it was Wang Shu's turn to look somewhat bewildered at Huo Dou.

In her confusion, Wang Shu wasn't entirely sure if it was Huo Dou's own curiosity driving him, or if it was the will of the Creator behind him.

"You... really want to know these things?"

With a firm nod, Huo Dou's curiosity at this moment came from deep within.

After all, if Huo Dou remembered correctly, Bai Ze and Di Jun were sworn enemies, while Wang Shu was Di Jun's sister-in-law.

No matter how you looked at it, there should be no connection between these two.
