On the other side of Ling Tian City, in the Dwarf Clan's territory, the Dwarves who had been sent away had all returned after receiving a massive piece of news. There were 30,000 Dwarves gathered together … even when the Dwarf Clan had moved to Ling Tian City, the Dwarves had not gathered so many. Everyone in the clan, regardless of gender or age, even the elderly who could no longer walk or the young who were crying piteously for food, had been brought here by their families using various methods. Everyone's eyes were burning as if there was a ball of fire burning in them, and their hearts were filled with extreme excitement.
At the centre of the crowd was a jet-black cannon, and all of the Dwarves stared at it, not even willing to blink. It was as if they were looking at a godly object. Some of the elderly Dwarves' faces were covered with tears, and their bodies trembled with excitement.
"Underworld God Cannon … our ancestors' greatest creation, our Dwarf Clan's pride and glory!!" Chief Dilo excitedly yelled as he stroked the cannon with his black hands. His actions were gentle and careful, and he felt as if his heart was going to explode. He didn't expect, nor did any of the dwarves, that he would be able to see the ultimate masterpiece of the dwarves in his lifetime.
All of the Dwarves' attention was completely attracted by the Underworld God Cannon, but none of them went up to touch it. This was because the Underworld God Cannon was like a holy object to them, and they felt that they could only look up to it. They didn't even have the right to touch it. In fact, not a single one of the Dwarves noticed Ling Chen's arrival.
"Heh, good son-in-law, are you done?" Seeing Ling Chen arrive, the Underworld King appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of Ling Chen.
Thinking about how the Moon Deities Emissaries would have to obey him in the future, Ling Chen couldn't help but smile as he said, "Of course it's done … eh? You gave the Underworld God Cannon to them just like that? "
"What else could I do?" The Underworld King rolled his eyes.
"Aren't you afraid that they won't return it to you? To the Dwarves, the Underworld God Cannon is something that transcends faith. Let's see how they react, "Ling Chen said as he smirked.
"Cheh!" The Underworld King smirked, "When your elder interacted with the Dwarves, your ancestors weren't even born yet! How could I not know their personalities? Greed and treachery don't exist in the Dwarves. "
“OK！” Ling Chen didn't waste any more words, and he said confidently, "Since you understand the Dwarves so well, it shouldn't be a problem for you to leave the Underworld God Cannon here for 48 hours, right? I believe that with their intellect and talent, as well as the blueprints they already have, they should be able to figure out how to create another Underworld God Cannon in this amount of time! As for the materials … hmm, I heard that the main material for the Underworld God Cannon is the Underworld Blood Mysterious Iron from the Underworld Blood Lake.
"There's plenty in the Underworld Blood, and Underworld Spirit Chen, and Dearly, I Clan, it, it, Chen King King Of King, I, Blood …"
Chen, King, and of the Clan, I Underworld, You know, this kind of thing … is very, very troublesome to explain. "
"Oh …" The Nether King nodded his head slowly, looking as though he understood. Just as Ling Chen heaved a sigh of relief, the Nether King's palm landed on his shoulder. The Nether King's voice instantly rose by eighteen degrees, and each word was like a clap of thunder, "Son-in-law! I'm marrying my only daughter to you, you have to treat her well!! "
"Son-in-law? Son-in-law!? " Yun Meng Xin, Xiao Qi, Su 'Er, Xuanyuan Dia Wu, and the others were all dumbfounded as they looked at Ling Chen and the Underworld King in shock.
"Ah … Uh … Oh … En … T-T-This uncle is the Netherworld King of the Netherworld. You should have met him before. He's very powerful. It's just that … once he leaves the Netherworld, his mental state becomes abnormal. He calls everyone his son-in-law … Ah … Go and comfort the elves. I'll bring him around the Ling Tian City first!!"
After hastily saying that, Ling Chen grabbed the Nether King and ran away. In his heart, he was cursing his daughter in all sorts of positions over and over again …
… …
The Underworld King, who had only planned to stay for a day, stayed in Ling Tian City for two days under Ling Chen's interference before leaving with the Underworld God Cannon. Following this, 3,000 Dwarves took the blueprints and materials and went into closed-door cultivation. These Dwarves had all been carefully selected, and they were the most talented Dwarves in forging. The remaining Dwarves felt quite regretful, but they devoted themselves to repairing and expanding the Ling Tian City.
Three days later, the Forgotten Emperor publicly apologised to Ling Tian City and swore that he would never invade Ling Tian City again. He also promised to give Ling Tian City a large amount of compensation within two months. Immediately, whether it was the player world or the NPC world, everyone was completely shocked. This was a public apology, compensation, and promise from the Forgotten Continent's Emperor! This was something that had never happened before in the history of the Forgotten Continent. No one could believe or accept this news, but soon, they realised why the Forgotten Emperor would do such a thing. The Forgotten Continent's Moon Deities Representative, who had not appeared in 1,000 years, had appeared in the sky above the Forgotten City. She was helping to repair the Forgotten City while condemning the Forgotten Emperor for his crimes. She also announced that she would protect Ling Tian City, which was built by players, with all of her strength. Anyone who dared to invade Ling Tian City would be offending the Forgotten God Representative.
This time, everyone, including the people from Ling Tian City, were deeply shocked.
There had never been a city that the Forgotten God Representative would protect, and anyone who dared to invade Ling Tian City would be offending her!
With this announcement from the Forgotten God Representative, who would dare to offend Ling Tian City in the Forgotten Continent?!
No one knew how Ling Tian City was able to receive such favour from the Forgotten God Representative. However, there was no doubt that after this day, Ling Tian City's fame and status would skyrocket, and it would become a taboo existence in the Forgotten Continent. Even though it had been built by players and had only appeared for a few months, its status had already surpassed that of the Forgotten City.
10 days later, Ling Tian City was once again opened to countless players and NPCs. At the same time, the trade between Ling Tian City and the Underworld began on that day, and the results were far better than what Ling Chen had expected. The special effects of the items from the Underworld caused players and NPCs to cry out in shock, and Ling Tian City's attractiveness once again exploded. On the first day, the number of players in Ling Tian City far surpassed what it had been when the city had first opened. Along with this, Ling Tian City's fame and status skyrocketed, as well as an astronomical amount of wealth.
These days, Ling Chen did not go anywhere, and he spent most of his time in the game on Ling Tian City to make up for the guilt in his heart. The rest of his time was spent chatting with Dia Wu, flirting with Qi Qi and Su 'Er, taking Tian Tian and Sha Sha out to play, and playing games with Leng' Er … it was all very relaxing. There was nothing he could do about it. Before Su 'Er could use her Heaven's Secrets power to predict where the next Orb would appear, going out to look for it would be a waste of time.
"Su 'Er, can you still not use your prophecy ability?" After half a month, Ling Chen couldn't help but ask Su' Er.
"Ah?" Su 'Er seemed to be spacing out, and after hearing Ling Chen's question, she gave a slight start before shaking her head, "Not yet. However, my ability has been growing, so it should be very soon. It should be … in less than a week."
"That's good, Su Su. Don't force yourself too much," Ling Chen said as he smiled. In the past, every time Su 'Er used her prophecy ability, it would take more than a month to cool down. This time, it had been reduced to 20 days, which was quite a pleasant surprise. He looked at Su 'Er seriously as he asked, "Su Su, you seem to have something on your mind. Did something happen?"
"Eh? No … "Su 'Er hurriedly shook her head, but she could not hide the uneasiness in her eyes. She slightly lowered her head and suddenly said, "Big brother Ling Tian, Ling Tian City will be fine in the future, right?"
"Mm, of course. I promise. Even if the entire Forgotten City moves out, we won't have to be afraid, "Ling Chen nodded with certainty. The Forgotten Emperor had been scared out of his wits, and the Forgotten God Representative had been affected by his Soulstealing Curse. Ling Tian City had the support of the Underworld. In such a situation, no matter if it was a player or an NPC, anyone who dared to offend Ling Tian City would be seeking death. It would be difficult for anything to happen to Ling Tian City.
"… Then, then I must be thinking too much. That must be it." Su 'Er's expression softened as she sweetly smiled.
"Thinking too much? What are you thinking about? "Ling Chen sat down next to her.
"It's … It's just that my mind has been in a mess recently, and my heart has been beating very fast. I keep feeling like something terrifying is going to happen. I must be thinking too much," Su 'Er said embarrassedly.
Ling Chen's eyebrows furrowed.
If anyone else had said this, he wouldn't have minded at all. However, Su 'Er … she was the only successor of the Heaven's Secrets Sect, and the Heaven's Secrets Sect's power was to see through and predict Heaven's Secrets! At the same time, they would be taken care of by the Heaven's Secrets Sect, and when something was about to happen, they would receive a 'hint'. Therefore, what the people of the Heaven's Fortune Sect had a vague premonition shouldn't be a mere "wild imagination". Every time Su 'Er had used her Heaven's Secrets power, it had been incredibly accurate, and there hadn't been a single mistake.
In that case, what was this uneasiness that she felt …
"Su Su," Ling Chen's voice became serious. "This time, when you can use your Heaven's Secrets power, don't use it to help me find that thing. Instead, see if anything bad will happen around us."
"Eh?" Su 'Er looked up at him in confusion.
"Don't think too much about it; I'm just being cautious." Ling Chen smiled. "It's not a big deal to delay the thing I'm looking for; your safety is more important. If nothing happens, that's best. If we find something, we'll be able to make adequate preparations, and little Su Su won't have to think too much. "
"Mm, I understand," Su 'Er obediently nodded.
