Battle Through the Heavens: The Rock King Emperor's Leisurely Wanderings in the Mortal World

Chapter 90 Zhong Li: After working for a month, it's time to retire.

"Then why don't you just wipe out that Gallie family and the Obama family? It would be so easy for you to just wave your hand and do it. Why do you have to go through all this fusion and alliance stuff?"

"Do you think I'm a murderer?" Zhongli asked slowly, resting his chin on his hand.

"Huh? How dare you say such a thing? In the past war between demons, the only one who could surpass me in the number of enemies killed was you. No one else could compare to me. Back then, when you wielded the rock spear and sped down from the sky, instantly piercing through the body of the demon god Oser, why didn't you say this? Why didn't you ask Oser then?" Wendy said slowly, a helpless expression on his face.

"Hmm... It's acceptable. I haven't experienced such large-scale slaughter for thousands of years since the Demon God War."

"So I say, why don't you just unify the Dou Qi Continent by force? That would be the simplest and quickest way, wouldn't it?"

"But the war between the Demon Gods was mainly because outsiders invaded the people of Liyue. As a god of Liyue, it is my mission and responsibility to protect them. But the problem now is that there are no of my people here. People are the foundation of unity. If we just suppress them with force, it's fine while I'm here. But if one day I travel through time again and can never return to this Douqi Continent, then the Douqi Continent will be filled with fear and paranoia, and will become a hell I created with my own hands!! Wouldn't that go against my original intention?"

Zhong Li slowly turned around, and soft sunlight streamed through the window, falling into Little Fairy Doctor's bedroom.

The environment was warm and cozy, and the person in bed was feeling lazy and relaxed.

A warm and cozy atmosphere filled the room, and the person on the bed appeared relaxed and content.

"Alas, how I wish my little apprentice could live a carefree and unrestrained life, and live such an innocent and carefree life forever. But in order to ensure that she can remain safe and sound in this dog-eat-dog world when she is no longer under my protection, I have no choice but to let her experience some trials."

"So, are you not planning to join me on this journey to the Northern Forest of the Izumo Empire in search of the Strange Flame?"

"I will first fulfill my contract with Princess Yun Luoxi of the Chuyun Empire. As for the Soul Emperor and the Void Devouring Flame, I have decided to keep them hidden in the shadows, and they do not need to show themselves on ordinary days. Yao Chen's strength is among the top in the entire Northwest Continent, and even if he encounters a formidable Dou Zong expert, he should be able to turn the danger into safety. After all, only by experiencing life-and-death trials can one be considered a true tempering."

"Besides, don't you want to break free from my body? After completing the contract with the princess of the Izumo Empire, it's time to prepare for the resurrection of your physical body."

"This requires a treasure unique to this world, possessing extremely powerful wind attributes. From your conversation with them, I learned that strange fire and strange lightning exist in this world. Does that mean that 'strange wind' also exists?" Wendy asked excitedly.

Zhong Li: "...I'm sorry, there really isn't one. Even the strange lightning is little known. Although the strange fire is famous, and there are more than one strange fire from the fourth to the twenty-third, many people still spend their entire lives without ever seeing the splendor of any of them."

Wendy: "What a disappointing guy."

"However... there are one or two special strange flames and lightning bolts that contain a large amount of wind elemental power."

"Oh wow!" Upon hearing this, Wendy's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "Grandpa, I knew it! You never disappoint! Tell me quickly, what kinds of strange fire and lightning are there?"

"The Burning Heaven Feather Lightning, ranked twenty-second on the Strange Lightning Ranking, and the Wind Fury Dragon Flame, ranked eighteenth on the Strange Fire Ranking, and the Nine Nether Wind Flame, ranked tenth, actually contain extremely powerful wind elemental forces within these rare treasures. Although the fire element still dominates, based on my judgment of the strength of the Crimson Flame Burning Lightning and the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, the wind elemental force within them should be enough for you to condense a small wind source field."

"That would be perfect. After you complete that contract, we'll go find them."

"That's possible, but I have no idea where these three rare and precious materials are located."

"Huh? Didn't you mention earlier that you could sense any kind of strange lightning?"

"That's true. However, I can only see the appearance of the scene where the strange lightning is located and whether it is being devoured, but I cannot directly pinpoint its location. Therefore, the hope of finding the Burning Heaven Feather Lightning is quite slim."

"However, the most promising one is actually the Wind Fury Dragon Flame, ranked eighteenth on the Strange Flame List. This strange flame is born in the eye of a fire tornado in an ancient desert. Unlike other strange flames, it has no fixed location and appears randomly anywhere in the desert during the hottest days of the year, making it extremely rare. When unleashed, it forms a tornado shape, combining wind and fire, with flames reaching hundreds of meters high, like a giant fire dragon roaring and spinning forward, possessing extremely strong destructive power, turning everything in its path into a sea of ​​fire."

"So after we send these two kids away, how about we just take a leisurely stroll into the desert?"

"Very well. Now, my heart is more inclined towards the leisurely wandering of the mortal world. I poured so much effort into my two disciples before, simply because I didn't want to leave them with any regrets. Now, I, as their master, have done my best, and it's time for me to retire."

"Hey, they say a teacher for a day is a father for life, but you've only been a teacher for a month and you're already planning to retire and enjoy your retirement, huh?"

"What's the harm? I just hope that Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor can become more independent. Besides, if Soul Emperor and Void Devouring Flame want to obtain Dou Di Qi from me, they must first ensure the safety of these two children. I think there are very few people on this continent who can rival them when they join forces."

"Is Gu Yuan, the nine-star Dou Sheng peak they mentioned before, one of them?" Wendy recalled their conversation in the Soul Realm Emperor Sky that day.

He might only be considered to have fought Soul Emperor to a draw. If he encountered Void Devouring Flame, he would most likely be able to injure him, and the situation wouldn't be too bad. However, these two often act together, and if Gu Yuan were to fight both of them one-on-one, his chances of winning would be slim, but escaping shouldn't be a problem.

"I would probably only be able to say that he fought Soul Emperor to a draw. If he were to face Void Devouring Flame, he would most likely injure him, but the situation wouldn't be too dire. However, these two usually act together, so if Gu Yuan were to fight both of them one-on-one, I think he would have a very difficult chance of winning. But escaping shouldn't be a problem."
