I’ll Quit Being a God-Chapter 49

Chapter 49: Earthly Catastrophe

At the sword furnace, Li Po met the old priest of the Wind Raiders department.

In the face of this highly respected old man, he didn't dare to disrespect him at all. He saluted the older generation and said, "Old man, I haven't seen you for a long time."

The old man sitting beside the fireworks smiled and raised his hand to signal Li Po to sit down.

"This girl Qian must have told you about the wolf God. I won't waste much time talking."

The old priest said, looking at Qian outside the door, and said, "You go to the mountain to meet Miss Xiao Ai, and say that the Great Sea Department priest has arrived and is waiting in the mountain. Please let the Wolf God know."

"OK, I'll go. Goodbye, Grandpa Li Po." the girl smiled, waved her hand and left with a cheerful pace.

With the girl's departure, the sword stove was temporarily quiet. Only the red flame suspended in the center of the sword stove sent out an amazing heat wave.

Li Po sat down opposite the old man, watched Qian leave, and then asked, "That Xiao Ai girl… Really came back from the dead?"

Li Po still couldn't believe that there were people in this world who could come back from the dead.

But the old priest nodded and looked serious. "When we found her, she had been dead for more than half an hour. It was the Wolf God in the mountain who saved her. However, the Wolf God frankly said that this cost him a lot, and I'm afraid he won't be able to replicate similar miracles in the future."

Li Po nodded and said, "It must cost a lot to do such an unnatural thing. If there is no limit, it is unbelievable."

"But the wolf God is so extraordinary. Have you ever guessed his origin, sir? When I asked Qian, the little girl knew nothing. But you are a living fossil of the nine parts of the Li tribe. Maybe you have a guess in your heart?"

Li Po's inquiry made the old priest silent for a long time.

After half a ring, the old man slowly opened his mouth by the hot fire.

"Seventeen years ago, the nine departments gathered on the holy mountain, and the saint gave a revelation. It was predicted that the nine departments of the Li tribe would usher in a catastrophe never seen before. If we could not survive, our tribe will be destroyed.."

"But the one who destroys our tribe is the master of misfortune. He is the one who sends disasters and punishments, brings down misfortune, and brings chaos to heaven and earth."

"When I first came to Hanyu mountain, I saw the scene of the Wolf God ordering the thunder in the mountain, and subconsciously thought of the saint's prophecy. There was a kind of worry in my heart - is it the God of Hanyu mountain who will destroy our Li tribe?"

When the old man said this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. "But in the next moment of contact, I temporarily dispelled this worry."

"The wolf God in the mountain is noble and broad-minded. He is by no means the master of disasters in troubled times."

"Although I have guessed a little about his origin, I dare not make a rash assertion."

"It's because this kind of existence was born to become a saint. He must have a profound mission. If I guessed and spy on the secret of heaven, maybe nothing will happen if I guess wrong. But if I accidentally get it right and reveal the secret of heaven, I'm afraid my soul will go back to the holy mountain ahead of time."

The words of the old priest made Li Po frown.

"So serious?" Seeing the old priest's cautious expression, he realized the danger of this trip.

The old priest thought for a while and then said, "However, I can tell you something. You must have a hole in your heart to see the Wolf God."

"Just don't say everything, don't do anything. If you have guessed something, you can't open your mouth to reveal it. You can only bury it in your heart."

"Good!" Li Po nodded heavily and bowed with a serious expression, "Please answer my questions."

Li Po saluted solemnly, but the old man beside the fire fell into silence and seemed to be thinking.

After a long while, the old man said slowly.

"Three years ago, my Wind Raiders Department encountered a strange animal, the Ba Snake, in the wild and deep stream in the north of the country."

"The fierce beast was cunning and cruel, and our department was trapped in the deep stream for half a month. Finally, there was a sudden roar from the East Sea. With the fierce wind and rain, we were able to retreat."

"The direction of the vast animal roar seems to be the rumored Liubo mountain."

The old priest said so with a serious expression, "It is necessary to know that after the world catastrophe, ancient gods and beasts were hidden in the world, mountain spirits and demons were hidden in the wilderness, and incense gods were hardly sanctified in front of people. The humanitarian order was initially established."

"However, since seventeen years ago, the saint suddenly got the revelation from our ancestors and predicted the coming of the Lord of disaster."

"Then the Ba Snake appeared for many years and Liubo mountain reappeared again."

"Here on this remote Hanyu mountain, there is an extraordinary wolf God…"

The old priest shook his head and said, "These things seem to have nothing to do with each other, but if you go deep into them, I'm afraid they are a sign of something very bad."

"As a priest of the great sea Department, you need to be careful to command the people and protect them. If you can't forge the Mountain and Sea Breaking Sword successfully this time, you are not allowed to travel around in the future."

"Heaven and earth seem calm on the surface, but the tide may be surging in the dark. It's said that disaster will come down one day. You need to prepare the people against it before you can live up to the position of priest."

The old man's words were not harsh, nor did they mean too much criticism and admonishment, but simply made heart to heart with this young generation.

However, Li Po bowed with a serious bow, "Thank you for your advice. I will remember it firmly in my heart."

The old man nodded, but he sighed slightly in his heart.

The priest in front of him was once the most talented young hero in the Li tribe. If "that thing" hadn't happened to his wife, the young man would have gone further.

Now he finally has the hope of casting a sword to break the mountain and the sea and save his wife. The old man understands the eagerness in Li Po's heart.

There are just some words that the old man didn't say clearly.

If there is real chaos in the world and another earthly catastrophe, the Underworld Sea of the Abyss will not be quiet.

Li Po's wife, who was suppressed in the sea, would probably…

Considering this, the old man could not help sighing. He just hopes that this trip can be smooth. If Li Po can be granted the Thunder Sand by the Wolf God, he would be able to rescue his wife in time.

The old man thought so and looked out the door.

However, Qian ran in happily and said with a smile, "Grandpa Li Ju, Xiao Ai said that the wolf God had known Grandpa Li Po was coming. Now he is waiting in the mountain. We can just go under the mountain to pay a visit without waiting."

As soon as the girl's voice fell, Li Po stood up with an excited expression, "Really?"

Although he was ready, he was still excited when he heard the news.

During the two hundred years of separation from his wife, he suffered day and night. Now that he finally saw the dawn of hope, Li Po could no longer resist his inner emotions and hurriedly asked.

"Old man, shall we go now?"

The old man nodded with a wry smile and said, "If I delay, I'm afraid you will die of anxiety… so let's go. We shouldn't leave the Wolf God waiting."
