The Growth of a God

Chapter 735 17: Incarnation of Xi He

Three days later, at the entrance of the surveillance and protected area.

"Where did this come from?"

Curiously examining the golden feather in Duo Mu's hand, Shu Hai clearly felt a kind of power similar to that of the Three-legged Golden Crow.

"Don't worry about where it came from; just know this thing can help you solve your problem."

Rolling his eyes helplessly, Duo Mu despised such "errand-running" work.

But unfortunately, this task was assigned by Balian.

He could only obediently stop his current work and hastily deliver this golden feather to Shu Hai.

Of course, knowing Duo Mu's disposition, Shu Hai was aware that the "work" he mentioned was likely searching for a new way to die.

"Don't cause any more trouble for Celestial Monarch Yan..."

"Be careful, or Big Sister might really drag you to the Netherworld and lock you up for thousands of years."

Giving Shu Hai a rather exasperated glare, Duo Mu retorted angrily.

"You ought to be careful yourself, or you might end up in some unknown realm while running around."

"Watch it, or I'll tell Shuli and let that madman catch you!"

Shuli is the enlightener of the Skeletons, and the most resolute berserker among the Immortals.

On a regular day, things are fine, but if something really happens, Shuli will make the offender understand what 'living is worse than dying' means.

"Alright! Let's not attack each other anymore."

"Neither higher nor lower, we're all about equal..."

Casually taking the golden feather from Duo Mu's hand, Shu Hai turned towards the fledgling crow.

"Wait!"

"I hardly came all this way; don't be in a hurry to chase me away!"

Seeing this, Duo Mu immediately cast aside the initial reluctance and hurriedly caught up.

"I heard you're handling a young Three-legged Golden Crow this time?"

"I haven't been burned to death by the sun's flame yet, let it be known I want to test the power of that flame!"

As Duo Mu chased after, he shouted loudly, seemingly indifferent to whether or not he was disturbing the nearby Mountain and Sea People who were working.

"If it doesn't work, let me fight that Three-legged Golden Crow first!"

Watching Shu Hai and Duo Mu leave, Feng Rong and the other staff were at a loss.

"He is indeed a... typical Immortal."

Finally, Feng Rong murmured with interest.

Compared to Shu Hai, Duo Mu's reckless and extreme behavior seemed more in line with the Mountain and Sea People's perception of common Immortals.

"It seems Great Prophet Balian had the foresight to send Mr. Shu Hai to help us."

Appearing silently beside Feng Rong, a figure made from flames muttered quietly as well.

"If Mr. Duo Mu had come, our mission wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding Mountain and Sea People nodded in agreement and laughed together.

Obviously, the prejudice against Immortals had been ingrained into the genetic code of their civilization.

No matter which race they were born into, regardless of which school they graduated from...

The stereotype of Immortals among the Mountain and Sea People was consistent and had become a common topic for mocking.

................................................…

"Can you rein in yourself a bit in front of outsiders?"

Naturally, Shu Hai could hear the discussions of the Mountain and Sea People behind them.

Thinking about the good impression he had worked hard to leave over such a long time, only to have it shattered by a few of Duo Mu's words, Shu Hai was irked.

"Oh, don't be mad! It's no big deal!"

Walking to Shu Hai's side, Duo Mu carelessly linked arms with him.

"Anyway, I haven't been back to the Mountain and Sea Realm for a while, tell me if anything interesting happened recently?"

Shu Hai was too lazy to continue dealing with Duo Mu.

He knew if he showed Duo Mu any good face, he would keep on being troublesome.

Honestly, even among Immortals, Duo Mu, who constantly sought death and caused trouble, was an extreme outlier.

Within moments, the two passed through various barriers and surveillance in the isolation zone, reaching the core area where Demon Vanquishing Seven and the fledgling crow were located.

"Hoo!"

Just like initially, the fledgling crow, upon seeing strangers approach, immediately assumed a fierce yet timid posture.

Unfortunately, the fledgling crow was too weak now.

Even striking a threatening pose was extremely difficult for it.

"Is it really a Golden Crow?"

Duo Mu finally kept it together and asked quietly.

His gaze passed over the fledgling crow, catching sight of the wreck of Demon Vanquishing Seven that it guarded.

By now, Demon Vanquishing Seven had completely shut down.

Even Duo Mu, an outsider, could see that the machine was utterly destroyed.

Its current value lay in extracting its core data to understand what transpired between it and the fledgling crow.

"Shh! Keep your voice down."

Whispered Shu Hai as he turned to Duo Mu, then walked slowly toward the alert fledgling crow.

When Shu Hai got within ten steps of the fledgling crow, he first retrieved that golden feather.

In the next second, the fledgling crow, initially wary, showed a trace of human-like curiosity.

"Hoo?"

From the golden feather, the fledgling crow sensed a familiar and warm aura.

Touched by this aura, the originally weak fledgling crow became a bit more spirited as pure Solar Power flowed into its body.

"My poor child..."

Moments later, the golden feather autonomously detached from Shu Hai's grasp.

When Shu Hai and Duo Mu reacted, a goddess incarnation combining majesty and beauty appeared before them.

"Child, with your mother here, you are safe now."

Gently touching the fledgling crow's forehead, Xi He's incarnation spoke lovingly.

Under Xi He's touch, the fledgling crow's alert and puzzled expression gradually turned docile.

However, suddenly recalling something, the fledgling crow fluttered its wings, signaling Xi He to look at Demon Vanquishing Seven behind it.

"Don't worry, it'll be alright too."

Giving the Demon Vanquishing Seven a brief glance and then soothing the fledgling crow softly, Xi He continued.

Yet Shu Hai and Duo Mu noticed that the previously shut-down Demon Vanquishing Seven miraculously started again, seemingly with some additional structures.
