I feel that once you perfect this art of forging and come to master war, the first thing you’ll do is kill me! I feel like I’m going to die. . . ” Shen Mu watched her with a composed expression and said, coaxing her along, “Good little sister—no, good elder sister.
You nearly died at the hands of the Celestial Venerable Hongtian not long ago, and it was I who saved you.
If I meant you harm, would I have rescued you? ” The Western Emperor hugged her tail and sobbed aloud. Shen Mu’s head began to ache.
“Stop crying! ” he barked. Still clutching her tail, the Western Emperor lifted her head and looked at him with tear-blurred eyes.
Shen Mu’s heart softened at once, and he said in a gentle voice, “Rest assured—I am the Undying Grand Magus of Ten Thousand Kalpas.
Even if you died, I would have ways to bring you back to life.
Rest assured, rest assured. Who knows, perhaps if you died once, you could cast off the shackles of the ancient gods and win your freedom! By then, you too could master the art of forging, and who could kill you? ” “Swear it! ” “I swear by the Earth Lord! ” The Western Emperor turned from grief to joy and became cheerful again.
The Divine King Langwo, sneering without pause from the side, said coolly, “The Holy Infant is quite the hand at coaxing young ladies.
” Shen Mu said softly, “Elder Sister Langwo.

” The Divine King Langwo turned and walked away.
“I do not believe a great emperor of the ancient gods could have intentions so simple!
” Shen Mu’s heart tightened.
The contradiction between the ancient gods and the Creators was, indeed, his greatest problem at present. The Ten Celestial Venerables had conflicts of their own, but none ran as deep as the enmity between the ancient gods and the Creators!
He was now treading on thin ice, and with the slightest carelessness, he might fall into ruin beyond all recovery!
