Spare Me, Great Lord!

Lu Shu thought that if he took out Corpsedog and Concealed Arrow, Zhang Weiyu would be able to recognize who he was. After all, the objects in the celestial map were passed down. It did not make sense for Zhang Weiyu, the head of the Imperial Palace Soldiers, to not have seen them before.

But he overlooked the fact that although that person was as lowly as him, their personalities were still different.

The old King of Gods was very distrustful. Lu Shu’s cautiousness was nothing compared to the old King of Gods. For example, Zhang Weiyu did not know why he had been sent to the fields. The entire Luniverse did not seem to know that the old King of Gods could obtain the real names of everyone. They only knew that the old King of Gods had a mysterious power in this aspect, but they did not know why!

Even Cloud Yi and Tiger Zhi, the Puppet Masters who were closest to the old King of Gods, did not know!

Wen Zaifou had deeply felt the cruelty of the old King of Gods’ peaceful order. When he was young, he followed the old King of Gods and crossed the bridge at his hometown. The old King of Gods had said that if Wen Zaifou turned back, he would destroy that bridge.

The old King of Gods was decisive and full of murderous intent. He was used to concealing everything in the depths of his heart. He was worried that one day, his weak spots would be exposed. Then, it would be beyond redemption.

Thus, Lu Shu had overlooked something. Those who had seen Corpsedog and Concealed Arrow were probably dead.

Only Filth Removal, a creature from the sixth level of nebula, would know the secrets of the old King of Gods. However, the first time the old King of Gods trusted him, he had locked him up in the remains.

Thus, Cloud Yi and Tiger Zhi would say that Lu Shu and the old King of Gods were different, as they had felt the changes.

Lu Shu was different. Although he was also cautious, distrusting, unsociable, eccentric, and selfish, he had always been willing to reconcile with the world. He was just waiting for someone to embrace him. On the other hand, the old King of Gods was a lonely king. He was never willing to reveal his inner world. Even the people beside him were unable to truly understand him.

The old King of Gods himself was also conflicted, to the point that he started to doubt himself.

Lu Shu could not understand. How could someone as strong and invincible as him, walk towards destruction?

Lu Shu calmly looked at Zhang Weiyu’s puzzled expression. “Sorry to disturb you.”

Heh heh, his acting had failed.

After he kept Corpsedog in the celestial map, he looked at Liu Yizhao as if nothing had happened. “After we go to the Luniverse, I want you to obtain all the information about what’s happening. Obtain information about the underlings who ran away from the limestone road at the palace.”

Liu Yizhao saluted. “Yes sir!”

Zhang Weiyu looked at Lu Shu. “Great Lord, who will be the vanguard on the way to the West Capital?”

Li Heitan jumped up. “Great Lord, me me me me me!”

Lu Shu looked at Li Heitan. He hesitated… he asked, “Let me ask you. What is the most dangerous thing we will face while heading north?”

Li Heitan went into deep thought. Then, he answered, “… letting me be the vanguard?”

“You are rather self-aware. Go stand to one side,” said Lu Shu unkindly. He turned and said to Zhang Weiyu, “The Wei Wu Army does not need a vanguard. We will advance together. You don’t think that I am being swayed by personal feelings. I have thought deeply about this. The overall strength of the Wei Wu Army means that you cannot treat the Wei Wu Army as an ordinary army. Furthermore, we do not need anyone to be a sacrifice.”

Zhang Weiyu’s feelings were rather complex. He had always been adjusting strategies for the Wei Wu Army, but now, he felt that there was no need to do so. The current state of the Wei Wu Army was very familiar. They were the Imperial Dragon Soldiers he had been leading for hundreds of years.

They did not need anyone to be a sacrifice. Everyone would be able to advance together. They would definitely win against their enemies.

Zhang Weiyu took a deep breath and said, “I understand.”

Suddenly, Lu Shu asked, “Do you know Ouyang Lishang?”

Ouyang Lishang was the “Lamp God”. Lu Shu felt that he was amazing. Others would ask the Lamp God to fulfill their wishes, he fulfilled the wish of a Lamp God…

“Ouyang Lishang?” Zhang Weiyu was dumbfounded. “The creator of the armor that shakes mountains? His name is engraved in every piece of the World Tide.”

“The World Tide?” Lu Shu remembered this name. Zhang Weiyu had talked about this before.

Back then, they were in a cavern in King Lu Mountain. Zhang Weiyu told Lu Shu that the Imperial Dragon Soldiers used weapons bestowed upon them by the old King of Gods. It was called the World Tide.

Each World Tide could be divided into seven pieces. The Imperial Palace Soldiers had special techniques that complemented the World Tide. When the pieces formed a tide, they could injure a master.

Back then, Lu Shu thought that it was rather impressive, but did not take it to heart.

But he had seen the power of the Armor that Shook Mountains. Lu Shu was touched that the Armor that Shook Mountains and the World Tide had been created by the same person. “Do you know where the World Tide went?”

“I don’t know. We were criminals who were chased out of the Imperial Palace Soldiers.” Zhang Weiyu explained, “The World Tide that belonged to us were confiscated as well. Furthermore, 18 years ago, the Imperial Dragon Soldiers and Imperial Palace Soldiers suffered severe injuries. Many people concealed their names and left the palace. I don’t know where they went. Criminals like us who left the palace a long time ago do not know exactly what happened.”

Lu Shu looked at Liu Yizhao. “Do you know anything?”

Liu Yizhao shook his head. “I was sent out one year before it happened. I don’t know what happened during that period of time.”

Lu Shu felt that it was a pity. “It would be great if you could find the World Tide.”

At that moment, Lu Shu saw that the World Tide was his possession… strictly speaking, there was nothing wrong with this.

To Lu Shu, he could give up everything in the past, except for his property…

But Lu Shu was self-aware. Ouyang Lishang was with him now. Although he could not find the World Tide from the past, would Ouyang Lishang be able to create a new one?

To be honest, although the magical armor he had purchased was very powerful, they were a far cry from the Armor that Shook Mountains. Since they had found an expert refiner, why not make good use of him?

“Fine. Pack your things. Be prepared to set off at any time. We are just waiting for the space pathway to open up.” With that, Lu Shu turned and stepped into a void. He was going to have a good talk with the “Lamp God”, Ouyang Lishang… they would talk for the entire night…

When Lu Shu returned home, he took out the bronze lamp and carefully observed it. He had not observed it before. He now realized that there were the words “Ouyang Lishang” on the base of the bronze lamp.

A true refining master would hope that people would remember when they created a good weapon. It was something that they had trained for. Ouyang Lishang was no exception.

Lu Shu knocked on the bronze lamp. “Come out.”

Suddenly, the bronze lamp produced a flame. Ouyang Lishang appeared in the smoke. He endured the massive shame and said, “Could you fulfill a wish of mine…”
