Discovery

Monarch Cang Yong stood there, as tall and large as ever. His very presence was enough to leave the surrounding world trembling. Looking at World Deity Shen Tu in front of him from his position above, he growled, "Scram!"

"Yes, your subordinate will now retreat."

World Deity Shen Tu excused himself with fear and trepidation. Under normal circumstances, he was the left shoulder and right arm of the monarch, who placed a lot of value on him. But now, from the single word, 'scram', he received, it was clear that Monarch Cang Yong's anger had reached its boiling point. However, World Deity Shen Tu did not find this surprising at all. He was very clear about how much the monarch had paid to get the relic. The relic might now be in Dong Bo's hands, but it's unlikely that he'll put it in a safe location in quite some time! The monarch will definitely take the risk.

The empire, his subordinates, the authority he had, all of them were external means of getting power.
