Hearing the Ox Emperor's words, Wutian really felt that they were being raised in captivity.
In other words, if they weren't being raised in captivity, there must have been other older Blood Mane Bulls before they were born.
However, he couldn't help but admire the Ox Emperor and the ten Ox Kings' perseverance and spirit. From nothing to hundreds of thousands of people today, the whole process of reproduction, bitterness, effort, and sacrifice was something that no one could understand.
Even the Flood Dragon Emperor and the Ice Demon Master couldn't help but respect them.
The Ox Emperor smiled bitterly and said, "I know what you are thinking, but you think too highly of me. With the strength of the ten Ox Kings and I, it's not enough to support such a huge tribe."
"Then why?" Wutian was very curious and could vaguely guess something.
"The reason why the Blood Mane Bull Tribe can reproduce until today is inseparable from the Ox God Statue," one of the Ox Kings said. It was actually a female's voice.
Another Ox King said, "Our cultivation methods, survival methods, the secret history of the Desolate Era, and many other things were all passed down from the Ox God Statue. However, we still don't understand who exactly raised us here."
Wutian said, "So, you only worship the Ox God statue once every thousand years. The purpose is to hope that you can obtain more inheritance memories from it?"
The Ox Emperor and the ten Ox Kings looked at each other. They didn't expect that even this master knew about it. He was really resourceful!
Actually, they didn't know that these things were all obtained by Wutian from the Ox Demon Commander. They also didn't know that he had once pretended to be a Blood Mane Bull.
Wutian turned to look at the Flood Dragon Emperor and asked, "Senior Flood Dragon Emperor, when you established the Eastern Region, did the Sea of Death already exist?"
The Flood Dragon Emperor nodded and guessed, "I think the Sea of Death was formed in the war that destroyed the Ancient Era."
"I know this. When we first gained intelligence, we wandered around out of curiosity. I clearly remember that there were no humans at that time. It can be said that we witnessed the birth and fall of the Four Great Gods, as well as the rise of the Eastern Region. At the same time, we also witnessed the terror of the Heavenly Bridge and other godly items.
Fortunately, we were well-behaved. Coupled with our innate ability to hide our aura and the miraculous nature of the Sea of Death, they didn't discover us. That's why the Blood-maned Ox Clan was able to survive, "said the Ox Emperor.
Upon hearing this, Wutian shook his head. It was not that no one had noticed them. It was just that they had met two good people, Sikong Lie and Shi Bei, who did not harm them.
After pondering for a while, Wutian threw the same question to the Ox Emperor, "Did the Ox Deity statue already exist when you all gained sentience?"
"That's right. Moreover, the place where I and the Ten Great Ox Kings were born was right below the divine statue. That's why that place became the current Imperial City."
"Although I can't figure out who exactly raised you, from various factors, I can analyze that you should have appeared here not long after the destruction of the ancient times and the formation of the Sea of Death. Therefore, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find the mysterious existence that raised you." Wutian shook his head.
The Ox Emperor let out a deep sigh. After searching for so long, there was no result. In fact, he had already given up. However, regarding his own origin, it was just like Wutian searching for his own origin. How could he really let go of it?
"Don't be discouraged. Wait until I have a breakthrough in my cultivation. Perhaps I can find out the truth." Wutian smiled faintly. His method was to use the Art of Fortune Telling to trace the origin. However, he did not dare to be 100% sure.
"Thank you, Master. If Master can really find out the truth, we will do our best to help Master conquer the Western Region." The Ox Emperor bowed.
"Boss Ox, you are wrong. Master has the Heaven Exterminating Battle Physique. He is destined to conquer the world. How could a mere ancient battlefield be in Master's eyes?" said one of the Ox Kings.
"Haha! I said the wrong thing. Please forgive me, Master. "The Ox Emperor laughed loudly.
Wutian laughed involuntarily. Just as he was about to speak, the Ten Thousand Elephant Token in the Flood Dragon Emperor's chest suddenly vibrated. He took it out and looked at it. His expression immediately darkened.
"What's wrong?" Wutian and the Ice Demon Master looked at him in confusion.
The Flood Dragon Emperor said in a deep voice, "The four Saints sent me a message. They said that the number of strange creatures on the battlefield has increased by dozens of times. They want us to quickly go back and support them. Otherwise, they won't be able to hold on for much longer."
"Dozens of times?" Wutian frowned. He could not understand what Li Tian was trying to do. However, Li Tian's actions had undoubtedly helped him greatly.
The Ice Demon Master looked at Wutian and said, "Since the matter here is over, let's hurry back immediately to prevent unnecessary casualties."
Wutian nodded and asked, "Senior Flood Dragon Emperor, when do you plan to pass the position to me?"
"One month later. What do you think?" Although the Flood Dragon Emperor did not know why Wutian asked this question, he still answered honestly after thinking about it.
"One month is too long." Wutian shook his head without hesitation.
The Flood Dragon Emperor was stunned and asked in confusion, "Then what do you want?"
After pondering for a while, Wutian said, "One hour later, give the order and announce it to the world."
"Then the ceremony that the Ice Demon Master and I have painstakingly prepared, won't it be useless?"
"Let's forget about meaningless actions." Wutian waved his hand and ordered the Ox Emperor, "Now, immediately gather more than two hundred thousand people of the Unparalleled Stage and above. They must all appear in my sight within one hour."
"Master, this …"
The Ox Emperor wanted to say something but stopped. He looked like he was in a difficult position.
"I know what you are afraid of, but you must remember one thing. After following me, Wutian, you must be indomitable. You must not worship any gods, including the so-called Ox God in your hearts!" Wutian said with an indescribable domineering aura.
"Yes, we will remember it!" The Ox Emperor and the ten Ox Kings looked at each other and finally made up their minds and replied respectfully.
Then, the Ox Emperor turned around and faced the Sea of Death and shouted, "All people of the Unparalleled Stage, immediately gather above the Sea of Death!"
Seeing this, the Flood Dragon Emperor and the Ice Demon Master could guess what was going on. They felt that Wutian was the most suitable person to be the Saint of the East.
Whoosh!!!
Two hundred breaths later, a hundred Ox Demon Commanders appeared.
Initially, they thought that the Ox Emperor and the Eastern Domain had a disagreement and were about to fight. Who would have thought that they would have to follow the human in front of them? However, no matter how unwilling they were, under the orders of the Ox Emperor and the Ten Great Ox Kings, they had no choice but to bow respectfully.
"Greetings, Master!"
Wutian looked at them one by one. His gaze lingered on the Ox Demon Commander who had brought him to the Imperial City, but he did not say anything.
"Little Wu Hao, let's sign the soul contract."
Wutian ordered secretly. The hundred Ox Demon Commanders were all Half-Celestial Being experts. If they were to cause trouble at a critical moment, it would bring disaster to him. Therefore, he had to control them all to be at ease.
At first, the Ox Demon Commanders wanted to resist, but when the Ox Emperor secretly told them that Wutian had the support of the Heavenly Bridge and the other two divine treasures, they immediately became obedient and did not dare to resist.
Very smoothly, the soul contract was signed!
"A hundred Ox Demon Commanders are equivalent to a hundred Saint experts. Wutian, this bastard, is really terrifying!" The Flood Dragon Emperor secretly sent a message to the Ice Demon Master and sighed.
"Flood Dragon Emperor, you should call him Saint now." The Ice Demon Master laughed.
The Flood Dragon Emperor pursed his lips and said, "In your dreams, I am the first Saint and his benefactor. I don't believe that he would dare to punish me for a crime of treason."
"What if he really dares?" The Ice Demon Master joked.
"Then he's a complete disrespectful little bastard."
The Ice Demon Master shook his head and laughed.
Half an hour passed by quickly!
More than two hundred thousand Blood Mane Oxen lined up neatly in the sky above the Sea of Death. From afar, it looked like a sea of blood. It was extremely terrifying!
What was even more strange was that such a huge formation did not emit any aura!
If the three of them turned around without knowing, they would definitely not discover that there was a group of terrifying Desolate Ancient Descendants behind them!
"Second Brother, it seems that I will have to trouble you again." Wutian secretly sent a message to the Heavenly Bridge.
"No problem, I am already used to it." The Heavenly Bridge replied indifferently and immediately walked out of the Star Realm. His Divine Sense was like a tide, covering the sky and covering the earth.
Wherever the Divine Sense passed by, the ferocious looking Blood Mane Oxen all shivered. Fear instantly drowned their souls.
"Don't worry, since you have all followed my little brother, I will naturally not continue to make things difficult for you. Also, I can solemnly tell you that the grudge between the Blood Mane Oxen Tribe and my big brother will be written off." The Heavenly Bridge said indifferently.
Hearing this, the Ox Emperor, the ten Ox Kings, and the hundred Ox Demon Commanders were all overjoyed and could not control themselves.
At the same time, they were also very grateful to their master.
Because they all knew that the Sky-ascending Bridge had let bygones be bygones for the sake of their master, turning hostility into friendship.
Otherwise, the Blood Mane Oxen Tribe would probably repeat the mistakes of the Desolate Ancient Era.
"We will definitely follow Master to death. We will not hesitate to go through water and tread on fire!" Under the Ox Emperor's lead, all the Blood Mane Oxen prostrated themselves in the air as if they were worshipping their Ox God.
Wutian nodded in satisfaction. He thought to himself that the Desolate Ancient Divine Sense was indeed useful. One sentence was enough to make more than two hundred thousand Blood Mane Oxen follow him wholeheartedly.
Boom!
The Heavenly Bridge was also very satisfied with the Blood Mane Oxen's attitude. His body shook violently and the void within thousands of miles shattered!
At the same time, in the sky above the Reincarnation City, a loud explosion occurred without warning. The sound shook the sky and startled all the living beings in the city!
"A strong enemy is attacking?"
Everyone rushed out of the taverns and secret rooms. When they looked up, their faces instantly turned pale!
Above the nine heavens, there was a giant black hole. A pitch-black stone bridge extended out from the black hole. With a boom, it stretched across the void!
"What is that? Could it be that it's a Variant from the Outerealm that's attacking? "Everyone turned pale with fright and exclaimed endlessly.
