With half a game of chess, I vanquish all demons!

The lower realm of barren rocks.

In the Shanyang tribe, in the square beside the statue, Zhao Yao, clad in black jade armor, reached out and removed the halo behind his head, slowly shrinking it into a ring, which he then wore on his hand.

The halo of sunlight transformed into the glow of fireflies, and he vanished into the night, raising his palm and placing it upon the statue.

In an instant, the divine power stored in the statue transformed into visible, flowing golden light, surging into the body and into the depths of the soul.

He entered his inner vision, his gaze sweeping downwards, passing through fourteen jade-white humanoid chess pieces in various poses, and looking at the two semi-transparent jade humanoid chess pieces.

The first jade chess piece is divided into ten layers of flame. One layer of flame is filled with talismans of magical arts and enchantments, eight layers of flame are filled with talismans of magical arts and divine thoughts, and the last layer of flame is filled with accumulated magical power.

The second jade chess piece is also divided into ten layers of flames, eight of which are filled with primordial energy, outlining eight small figures of primordial energy.

At this moment, the divine power of faith surged into the chessboard, all of which was contained by the magical talisman in the first jade chess piece.

Those magical talismans that had been used and were slowly recovering their usage count were now directly filled with divine power, immediately restoring three uses, without having to wait for them to automatically recover their power.

Before long, all the magical talismans were restored to their full usage limit.

Zhao Yao examined the statue and saw that it still contained a great deal of divine power of faith. He then raised his hand and swallowed the two demon cores, which had been purified by the Ascension Water and were now just the essence of their former selves.

"Gurgle~"

His Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he swallowed the demon core.

"The demon core has entered my body, with divine power as the medium, allowing me to fuse and digest it, helping me increase my vital energy!"

He silently chanted in his mind, using the incredible power of his gods to propel his body to rapidly fuse and digest the essence of the two demon cores.

The divine power within the statue is being rapidly depleted.

The two demon cores quickly merged into his body, stirring up waves of primordial energy!

Seeing the surge of vital energy within his body, Zhao Yao felt his body become scorching hot. With a thought, he caused a vortex to form within the second jade chess piece, unleashing a tremendous suction force.

The surge of primordial energy within him poured into the jade chess piece, converging into primordial energy liquid that flowed down like a waterfall, accumulating within the flame layer. The amount of primordial energy stored within the flame layer increased at a visible rate, rising higher and higher and higher!

Soon, the ninth flame layer of the second jade chess piece was filled, outlining a small primordial energy figure.

Next, the tenth flame layer was also quickly filled, outlining a small figure of primordial energy.

Once the entire jade chess set was completely filled, the chess pieces shone brightly, and a mysterious change quietly occurred.

Zhao Yao looked at this scene from within and was overjoyed.

Another piece has been filled in, and another "pawn" can be molded out.

This is the real harvest!

As the second jade chess piece was filled with primordial energy, the third jade chess piece at the front of the chessboard suddenly trembled, emitting bursts of light, washing away its impurities, and becoming translucent.

The third jade chess piece has been unlocked!

The third jade chess piece continued to contain primordial energy. The first flame layer was quickly filled, followed by the second and third flame layers, until the primordial energy storage in the fourth flame layer increased by two points, at which point everything stopped.

The two demon cores possessed truly formidable energy, providing enough primordial energy for five flame layers, outlining five miniature primordial energy figures!

In addition to the primordial energy, Zhao Yao also sensed changes in the demon blood within the physical body.

The demonic essence of the Tailfire Tiger Demon Core was infused with the Tailfire Tiger Demon Blood, resulting in some enhancements.

The demonic essence within the Huodou demon core was integrated into the body, planting a seed of demonic blood that would take time to fully integrate with the body.

"Omnipotent divine power, it's really useful..."

Zhao Yao sighed inwardly and opened his eyes.

By this time, it was already broad daylight, and what he could see was that the flat square was filled with kneeling people from the Shanyang tribe.

"Grandpa Fairy, do you still remember me?"

Before him, an elderly man with white hair knelt on the ground, trembling as he raised a jade flower whose color had become much duller, his eyes looking at Zhao Yao with piety and excitement.

This is……

As Zhao Yao gazed at the jade flower, the face of a child named Wei Xiaohua flashed through his mind.

He looked at the vaguely familiar face of the old man in front of him, nodded with a complicated expression, and said:

"I remember you, Wei Xiaohua, you were the little girl who hid behind your brother."

"It's me! It's me!"

Even the gods remember themselves! Even the gods remember themselves!

The already very old Wei Hua was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes, and he could not control himself.

Zhao Yao looked at him, then at the Shanyang tribe members kneeling behind him. He raised his hand, and strands of light drifted away, merging into the bodies of everyone present.

"Get up, all of you. I don't like people kneeling before me."

"this……"

As the jade-colored light entered his body, Wei Hua obediently stood up, stretched his limbs, and felt his body warm and strong again. He looked astonished, feeling as if he had returned to his prime.

"A small gift can help you live a life free from illness and pain."

Is there anything else I can help you with? Please feel free to ask.

If not, I'm leaving now; a battle awaits me.

Zhao Yaowen spoke frankly and gently.

"Yes, yes, please wait a moment, Grandpa Immortal."

Wei Hua dared not delay the immortal's time any longer, and hurriedly called someone to bring his little grandson.

Before long, a child with many stone shells on his body and unable to straighten his back came to Zhao Yao.

"This child is born with the ability to manipulate objects with his thoughts, but he is also gradually developing this stone shell on his body."

Tribal records state that this condition was caused by the ancestors digging into the earth and being cursed; it was once known as "stone melting disease."

But this child has been under my care since he was little, there's no way he could be...

Wei Hua pulled the child in front of him, looked at Zhao Yao pleadingly, and kept talking about the whole story and his worries.

Zhao Yao reached out and gently rubbed the child's head, asking softly:

"What's your name?"

"I have no name."

The child huddled inside the stone shell, afraid to look up, somewhat timid.

Zhao Yao drew divine power from the statue beside him, which landed on the child, and gently spoke:

"Let me give you a name. From now on, you'll be called Wei Lai. What do you think?"

Call ~

Click~

A breeze blew by, and the stone shell broke off and fell to the ground.

The child's body was drawn by some mysterious force, and he slowly straightened up, raising his head with a blank look in his eyes to look at the stranger in front of him.

"Okay, it's alright now, everything will be fine from now on."

Zhao Yao gently patted Wei Lai's head, then turned to Wei Hua and instructed him:

"If this disease recurs, the Wei family only needs to pray to this statue for help, and divine water that can remove the stone shell will flow from the surface of the statue."

This miraculous water can continuously help people get rid of the torment of petechiae.

From this day forward, as long as your faith endures and the Wei family bloodline continues, this water will exist forever.

boom!

As he spoke, under the terrified gazes of the many tribesmen, with a thunderous drumbeat, the sun halo ring on his hand grew larger, floated back behind his head, and his body slowly drifted into the sky.

Unfortunately, since the Demon-Slaying quest ended and the Moon Disc disappeared, the privilege of manipulating time has been lost forever.

If one wants to gain divine power now, one can only rely on the accumulation of time and take it slowly.

I wonder if this casual move will be of any use...

As Zhao Yao pondered, the watery void swallowed his figure, and he disappeared into the lower realm of the desolate rocks.

At the Shanyang Tribe Square, the crowd knelt down to bid farewell to the deity.

Wei Hua stood there, holding his grandson's hand, looking up at the immortal as he departed. Thinking of the immortal's words, he couldn't help but tremble.

Another battle awaits the gods...

He turned around and looked at a rocky mountain not far away.

That crooked rocky mountain is now called "Xianfu Mountain".

It wasn't originally like this, nor was it called this. When a deity landed on the ground, he reached out and touched it, causing the entire mountain to tilt, which is why it changed its appearance and name.

The gods merely offered a helping hand, and a towering stone mountain tilted to one side.

Wei Hua could hardly imagine how earth-shattering a battle between gods would be.

"If I can see the immortals three times in this life, my heart will be content."

Dear Grandpa Immortal, Wei Xiaohua wishes you all the best.

Wei Hua, holding his grandson's hand, gazed at Xianfu Mountain and murmured to himself.

……

A black iron strongman ran into the gate of the makeshift wooden stronghold where bounty hunters gathered.

He ran and shouted excitedly:

"Help! Help!"

Zhao Yao has appeared! Zhao Yao has appeared!
