Chapter 56 Divine Descent
On the desolate plain where the Pure Land of Ten Thousand Buddhas and the Realm of the Dead meet,
A large convoy was slowly making its way towards the realm of the Sin Clan.
The carts were loaded with crop seeds, all of which were new varieties never seen in the original God Realm. In addition to the crops, the caravan was accompanied by herds of horses.
These supplies and livestock were obtained by the Xin tribe in exchange for the release of prisoners from defeated city-states. Cartloads of resources were being hauled home, a substantial fortune for the developing tribe.
Not only can it enrich local products, but once horses are domesticated, they can also be used as a means of transportation.
At the front of the group, Chang walked while holding onto a hemp rope.
A tall horse was tied to the back of the rope.
Chang felt somewhat helpless.
He was not used to riding a horse, and besides, these common horses seemed to have an instinctive fear of him.
His masculine aura made the livestock tremble with fear.
Whenever he tries to mount a horse, the horse becomes so frightened that its legs go weak and it can't walk, completely unwilling to be ridden by him.
There was no other way; several clever young men in his clan were already riding quite well, while he could only travel on foot.
As the wheels rolled over the sand, a raven flew by, disrupting Chang's thoughts.
He turned around and looked at a carriage in the middle of the procession.
Xin Zang had exhausted all his strength in that divine battle and collapsed completely as soon as the battle ended. The half-dragon carried him into the spacious carriage and settled him in.
The gods have issued a decree, allowing Liss to enter their tribe.
Since he was recognized by the gods, he should have no problem with loyalty. Chang believed the divine oracle wholeheartedly, and everything was arranged by the gods.
But he was still somewhat uneasy.
Zhuo'er's customs are quite different from humans, and her way of doing things is... rather casual. Now that the two of them are alone in the same carriage, getting too close, Chang always feels that some minor problems might arise.
Xin Zang is quite dull when it comes to other things.
Facing a drow elf, I'm afraid I'll suffer quite a bit.
Chang sighed, tugged at the rope in his hand, and continued walking at the front of the group.
Suddenly, the sky brightened.
The songs echoed across the wasteland as Jane descended slowly from a beam of light, making quite a grand entrance.
It seemed to enjoy being worshipped, trying its best to adopt the posture of a mysterious and unfathomable divine messenger.
(✧◡✧)
Unfortunately, the expression on the screen completely betrayed it.
The way they descended to earth was even more impressive than a god personally descending.
The Xin people along the way stopped and knelt down in devout worship to welcome them.
Chang quickly stepped forward and respectfully supported the divine artifact with both hands.
For some reason, after the daylight faded, Chang felt that the bamboo slip in his hand suddenly became much heavier.
It felt as if the person had suddenly lost the power to levitate, pressing heavily on the palm of the hand, making the person seem somewhat weak.
Chang was puzzled, but dared not ask any questions.
"Lord Jian, are you descending to the mortal realm to deliver a divine decree for us?"
"(O_O)?"
"An oracle? Oh! Right." Jian Rumeng snapped out of her daze. The screen flickered. "Could you please call that kid, um... Xin Zang, to see me?"
"He needs to rest now, and I can help him if anything happens."
"(︶︹︺)"
"Oh well, fine." Jane was a little disappointed. "Then just put me in the carriage, in a clean place, and I'll wait for a while."
"No need to trouble you, sir, I've already recovered." A young voice came from not far away.
Xin Zang lifted the curtain and climbed out of the carriage.
He looked radiant, but the few prominent red marks on his neck were particularly noticeable.
"(눈_눈)"
"Monkey," Jane muttered under her breath, a hint of disdain in her voice.
But the thought of personally handing over 100 kilograms of fine steel to this blockhead made Jane feel a pang of grievance.
That could have been made into the new shell it had been longing for; it could have been more impressive and stronger!
With its new shell, it can charge at its enemies headfirst, and its weight of hundreds of kilograms makes it invincible.
It had already decided on its honorific title.
【Jane, a man of both wisdom and strength】
The expressions on the panel changed, looking pitiful.
(ಥ﹏ಥ)
Xin Zang had just steadied himself when he was stunned by Jian's sudden appearance.
Confused and bewildered, I could only stand there, at a loss.
Jane waved in mid-air, annoyed, and relayed instructions to Shinzo.
"Listen carefully, the divine decree commands you to lead your people to quickly plunder the useful resources in this unclaimed divine realm and bring them back to the tribe's divine realm, using your skills to benefit your people."
It paused for a moment, the light on the screen flickered, and a sour smell emanated from the screen.
"Furthermore, to celebrate the birth of a new human king in advance, the God has bestowed upon you two hundred catties of fine steel as a gift."
Xin Zang was stunned for a moment.
Precision steel?
He hadn't heard of the name, but he knew about Steel from the history of the kobolds.
The process is more complex and rigorous than that of iron, and the resulting metal is a valuable treasure for both warfare and daily use.
Refined steel is probably going to go a step further than steel.
Before he could even ask a question.
Jane immediately interrupted, and a cheeky expression appeared on the screen.
(≖‿≖)✧
"However, two hundred pounds of refined steel is simply too heavy. Your current carts simply can't hold it, and it's also difficult to transport along the way." Jian coaxed patiently, "As the simple intelligent processor most trusted by the gods, I can take pity on you and reluctantly keep it for you."
Just as Shinzo was completely confused, the carriage curtain was lifted again.
Liz came out.
The mixed-race drow looked at the iron box floating in mid-air, examined it from head to toe, and looked somewhat puzzled.
The iron block in front of me seems to have changed a lot.
"Was it like this before?" Liz walked over to Xin Zang. "Why does it seem so much more lively now?"
As she spoke, she reached out and gently poked Jane's metal casing with her fingertips.
"(ﾟдﾟ)!"
Jane seemed to be startled by something, and the already barely levitating machine lost its balance and fell straight into the sand on the ground.
"You stinky drowsy creature, you actually scared me!"
(╬Ò‸Ó)
Jane, enraged, sprang up from the sand and rammed headfirst into Liz.
With a muffled thud, the metal box struck Liss.
The hybrid drow didn't move at all; instead, it was bounced back into the air and spun around a few times.
Amidst the puzzled gazes of the group of salarymen, Jian feigned two coughs.
"Fine, I'm magnanimous, I'll let you off the hook."
It was buzzing with crickets inside its heart.
Damn it, why am I so weak! It must be that bastard of an owner's fault.
I will definitely get my revenge later. When that drow elf has children and grandchildren, I will make them experience Lord Jane's power while they are still babies.
Thinking about it this way, it immediately felt a little better.
Seeing its appearance, Liz felt apologetic and reached out to hug it.
I was held securely and comfortably, and then I was placed in a more comfortable position.
(￣︶￣)
Well, having such a servant seems pretty good.
"Since your attitude is relatively decent, I'll give you another hand."
As she spoke, Jane mobilized the divine power within her body and sent a message to the heavens.
"Master, do me a favor."
Soon after, a large-scale teleportation array lit up the wasteland, enveloping the carts, horses, and everyone in its light, and sending them back to the divine realm of the Xin Clan.
