If Li Yi survives the ordeal at Red Gold Mountain and becomes One God, then who would be the most unfortunate? Undoubtedly, Divine Wood City. Because Red Gold Mountain is only five hundred li from Divine Wood City, and once One God emerges, at least a thousand li will become his territory. By then, whether the Divine Blood Warriors of the Divine Wood lineage agree or not, Divine Wood City will be annexed. The Merchant Master sensed this crisis and decided to convey this message back to Divine Wood City. At the same time, they planned to temporarily move out of Divine Wood City, unwilling to get involved in such a struggle. Neither the Divine Blood Warriors of the Divine Wood lineage nor the prospective One God Red Gold Mountain Master could be offended. When this news spread to Divine Wood City at the fastest speed. The city was immediately in a state of panic. "The Red Gold Mountain Master is about to become a god?" An old man wandering within the city was shocked upon hearing the news brought back by the Merchant Master. His name was Mu Sangong, a wise man of Divine Wood City and the Divine Blood lineage. However, since he was not a Divine Blood Warrior, he was not particularly favored even though he held the title of wise man. Therefore, he did not reside in the City Lord Mansion but lived within the city. "Why haven’t the warriors of the Divine Wood lineage received such important news?" Mu Sangong was very angry and immediately realized the severity of the matter, quickly riding a mutant beast towards the City Lord Mansion. He knew about the Red Gold Mountain Master Da Yi, as the Divine Blood Lineage Warrior Mu Tu had once been defeated by Da Yi on Red Gold Mountain. Later, seeking to regain their honor, Mu Tu, along with Mu Xi and Mu Yan, prepared to challenge this Red Gold Mountain Master and capture Red Gold Mountain. Unfortunately, they were ambushed halfway, leading to Mu Xi’s death and Mu Tu and Mu Yan being severely injured and sent back by Merchant Lord Xiu Xiang, for which the Divine Wood lineage paid a hefty compensation. After that, the Divine Wood lineage temporarily abandoned the idea of capturing Red Gold Mountain. Not only because Red Gold Mountain’s power was growing, but also according to the traveling Merchant Masters, Red Gold Mountain was nearly hollow, with little Red Gold left, making a Mountain Lord-level battle not worth it. However, the death of Direct Lineage Mu Xi remained a pain for the Divine Wood lineage. "In any case, we must not allow a One God to appear on Red Gold Mountain, otherwise, the Divine Wood lineage will inevitably perish because of it." With aged hands tightly clenched, Mu Sangong, as a wise man, seemed to foresee a day when the Red Gold Mountain God would sit beneath that Divine Tree, overseeing his domain, while the warriors of the Divine Wood lineage would face extinction. "Stop." As the mutant beast mount was about to cross into the range of the City Lord Mansion, a warrior stopped him. "I am Mu Sangong and need to see the Wood Witch High Priest." Mu Sangong said, simultaneously removing a golden leaf used as decoration from his hair. This was a symbol of his status. The warrior allowed him to pass. Mu Sangong headed to the City Lord Mansion along a familiar road, and the closer he got, the more brilliant and dazzling the light from the golden Divine Wood tree above became, so intense it could burn someone alive. Only the Divine Blood Warriors of the Divine Wood lineage could withstand this golden glow when entering or leaving the City Lord Mansion; otherwise, they had to walk in the shadows. Mu Sangong arrived inside a grand hall. Yet no one acknowledged him, leaving him alone in this place. Mu Sangong didn’t care about being neglected; he angrily tapped his cane against the ground, causing a loud commotion: "Wood Witch High Priest, come out quickly, the Divine Wood lineage is facing extinction, and you still don’t know about this." "Red Gold Mountain is about to birth One God, the good days for the Divine Wood lineage are about to end, Mu Witch, come out quickly." With his shouting and yelling, soon enough, many warriors were drawn to the noise. Fınd the newest release on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚫𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚫𝕟𝕖𝕥 "Mu Sangong, what’s gotten into you? Have you gone mad? This is the City Lord Mansion, you should show some respect," a young warrior retorted angrily. If Mu Sangong weren’t a wise man, he would have already been thrown out by now. But Mu Sangong continued shouting regardless, for these young warriors weren’t in charge; only the Wood Witch High Priest could handle such a serious matter. After a round of commotion. More and more warriors gathered, and eventually, this incident successfully spurred the Wood Witch High Priest into action. "Mu Sangong, you better truly be here regarding critical matters for the Divine Wood lineage at the City Lord Mansion; otherwise, even if you are a wise man, I will still severely punish you." The Wood Witch High Priest appeared at this moment. Though aged, he was still robust, holding a staff made from a branch of the Divine Wood and exuding great authority. For the Wood Witch was not merely a High Priest; he himself was also a Direct Lineage Warrior of Divine Blood, possessing great strength. "Red Gold Mountain is showing strange signs, with lightning turning into a vast ocean enveloping the entire mountain range. This is a sign that the Red Gold Mountain Master is becoming One God," Mu Sangong anxiously shouted, tapping the ground. Upon hearing this, the Wood Witch High Priest’s face immediately changed. He instantly realized the seriousness of the situation. Previously, the Red Gold Mountain Master Da Yi had ambushed Mu Tu, Mu Yan, and Mu Xi, resulting in the death of the strongest warrior, Mu Xi, and Divine Wood lineage still seeks such revenge to this day. However, the changes at Red Gold Mountain were enormous; not only was the Red Gold completely excavated, but dozens of warriors of Mountain Lord Level appeared, forcing him, as the High Priest, to reconsider the cost of revenge, thus abandoning action. But this time, the news brought by Mu Sangong was even more astonishing. The Red Gold Mountain was actually going to produce One God. "Mu Sangong, where did your information come from?" the High Priest Mu Witch asked seriously. Mu Sangong said, "Now, the news is spreading among the Merchant Masters in Divine Wood City; many are packing up and leaving Divine Wood City, worried that once One God appears, Divine Wood City will suffer harm, so they are transferring their wealth ahead of time." The High Priest Mu Witch immediately became furious and believed Mu Sangong’s words. These Merchant Masters would never leave Divine Wood City, abandoning their homes and slaves, due to a false message, so the emergence of One God at Red Gold Mountain must be true. If that Red Gold Mountain Master truly becomes One God, then the Divine Wood Lineage will be utterly annihilated. Such a significant event made the High Priest Mu Witch somewhat anxious, and he roared, "Mu Yan, ignite the flame and summon all Divine Blood Warriors of the Divine Wood Lineage to the City Lord Mansion." "Yes, High Priest." A Divine Blood Direct Lineage Warrior named Mu Yan hesitated for a moment, then quickly ran out. His movements were swift, causing the ground to tremble as he ran. Soon, a golden flame burned on high ground at the City Lord Mansion. With the emergence of this golden firelight, the temperature throughout Divine Wood City rose significantly, with a scorching sensation. Seeing the golden flame blazing, the Divine Blood Warriors of the Divine Wood Lineage were instantly shaken, then hurriedly abandoned everything and rushed towards the City Lord Mansion. For only at the time of life and death for the Divine Wood Lineage would the golden divine fire be ignited. Warriors of great strength gathered within the City Lord Mansion, entered the main hall, and saw the High Priest Mu Witch seated at the main seat, to whom they respectfully paid their respects. Seeing many powerful Divine Blood Warriors of the clan appear, the High Priest Mu Witch’s expression eased a little. But he did not speak, instead waiting for the arrival of the Clan Leader. The Clan Leader of the Divine Wood Lineage, known among Merchant Masters as the Divine Wood Lord, flew to Divine Wood City aboard a golden bird. "High Priest, what has happened in Divine Wood City?" The Divine Wood Lord was a rugged middle-aged man over four meters tall, with robust muscles covered in gold patterns resembling leaves, exuding a terrifying aura. Walking briskly, the Red Gold Heavy Armor on him clanged loudly, and wherever he went, warriors of the Divine Wood Lineage made way. Moreover, many noticed that the Divine Wood Lord’s body was stained with blood, suggesting he had been battling a formidable enemy not long ago. Upon seeing the timely return of the Divine Wood Lord, the High Priest Mu Witch’s mood improved slightly and he said, "Clan Leader, the Red Gold Mountain Master has become One God ahead of you." "What?" The Divine Wood Lord’s eyes widened, equally shocked. As the Clan Leader of the Divine Wood Lineage, he left Divine Wood City to fight outside, determined to become One God as soon as possible, for only by becoming One God could the Divine Wood Lineage revive the glory of the ancestors, and also thrive for another ten thousand years. "The growth of that Red Gold Mountain Master is too fast. Previously, he barely defeated Fire Huohuo of the Thirty Mountain Masters, and now he becomes Hundred Mountain Master and is close to becoming a God," the High Priest Mu Witch sighed. "That was my fault; if I had called you back when Mu Tu lost, taken over Red Gold Mountain, these things wouldn’t have happened." "High Priest, it’s not your fault," the Divine Wood Lord said. "The decrease in Divine Blood Direct Lineage within the Divine Wood Lineage is not worth risking lives for one Red Gold Mountain, and we don’t lack gold in Divine Wood City." "Now I want to know how long the anomaly at Red Gold Mountain has lasted." "Less than a day," the High Priest Mu Witch replied. The Divine Wood Lord said, "There’s still time; the phenomenon of becoming a God can last up to nine days, and during this time, if that Red Gold Mountain Master dies, then One God can’t appear." "The Divine Wood Lineage must not be cut off; I will pay any price to make that Red Gold Mountain Master disappear from this ancient land." "Clan Leader, are you planning to lead the clan to attack Red Gold Mountain?" the High Priest Mu Witch asked. The Divine Wood Lord said, "I intend to invite other Mountain Masters to join us, offering Red Gold, Divine Wood, Beauties—everything, at a price they cannot refuse, and they will act." "As long as the Divine Wood exists, our Divine Wood Lineage will not decline." The High Priest Mu Witch’s eyes gleamed, seeing the Clan Leader’s determination and boldness. Indeed, this is what must be done at this moment. So long as the assistance of other Hundred Mountain Masters can be secured, the emergence of One God can be stopped, even if sacrificing half of the Divine Wood is worth it. In the future, once the Clan Leader becomes One God, everything will be worthwhile.
