Shui Wuya led the group and the fierce beasts away, relocating them to the Shui family's residence. The management of Star Dou Forest would now be handled by the Shui family.
As they departed, the Red King looked back, his eyes filled with endless longing and reluctance.
Though the fierce beasts felt some reluctance, they understood this was an unchangeable fate.
"This is my home, I don't want to leave!"
Xiong Jun once again showed his defiant attitude, standing his ground with eyes flashing anger and struggle.
However, just as he prepared to rebel again, a powerful force suddenly struck, subduing him swiftly.
Shui Yuanchen, with a cold smile, acted at lightning speed, overpowering Xiong Jun.
Xiong Jun felt an invisible force binding him tightly, rendering him immobile.
He struggled to break free, but the immense divine power held him firmly in place.
Shui Yuanchen said coldly to Xiong Jun, "Whether you want to stay or leave isn't up to you. Now you must obey the chief's orders, or face the consequences."
Facing Shui Yuanchen's formidable divine power, Xiong Jun's eyes flashed with anger and helplessness, but ultimately, he was reluctantly taken away.
Ten Thousand Demon King and Bi Ji, along with the other fierce beasts, paid no heed to Xiong Jun's actions.
Now that they had submitted to the Shui family, it was a settled matter.
Causing trouble would not only yield no benefits but could also bring about their doom.
Thus, they could only go with the flow.
As they were about to leave, Shui Wuya extended an invitation to the three clan chiefs of wind, fire, and thunder: "Clan leaders, may I invite you to the Shui family to reminisce?"
Clan patriarch Qingyi of the Feng Clan smiled, stroking his beard: "Patriarch Shui's invitation is an honour."
"We certainly wouldn't refuse and are willing to join."
The three patriarchs agreed and followed the main group away.
Upon returning to the Shui family, the three chiefs followed Shui Wuya to the main hall.
Clan patriarch Qingyi of the Feng Clan gazed into the distance, reflecting on the changes over thousand of year, filled with emotion.
"The prophesied day is approaching."
Clan patriarch Qingyi spoke with awe and wonder: "A prophecy from ten thousand years ago has fallen upon our generation. It is truly our honor."
The Huo Clan patriarch couldn't help but reflect: "Yes, time flies, and here we are.
We are fortunate to witness firsthand the prophecy passed down through generations. It's a remarkable experience."
The Lei Clan Patriarch pondered, feeling it was also a unique experience for him.
Among his clan's chiefs, his talent wasn't outstanding, yet he now felt like the child of destiny.
He bore an incredibly important responsibility.
But if he was the child of destiny, what about the demigod patriarch of the past in the Lei Clan?
Born at the wrong time.
Yet, here I am in this era! The Thunder Clan patriarch reflected.
Clan patriarch Qingyi of the Feng Clan stared at Shui Wuya, curiosity and anticipation in his eyes.
"Chief Shui, what exactly is the ten thousand year-old prophecy?
I believe you know. Could you enlighten us?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Shui Wuya with expectation, eager to understand the mysterious prophecy.
Shui Wuya smiled slightly, his eyes deep like a serene lake, evoking a sense of awe.
"Apologies, this matter is of great importance. It's not that I don't want to tell you, but the secrets of the heavens cannot be revealed.
Wait for the right time, and naturally, you will understand."
Shui Wuya's voice was gentle yet profound, hinting at a deep philosophy.
Hearing this, everyone felt a sense of reflection.
They knew patriarch Shui made a valid point.
The mysteries of the heavens were beyond comprehension and had their own intricacies.
Even if Shui Wuya knew the secrets, he couldn't reveal them.
Clan Chief Qingyi nodded, his tone respectful: "Chief Shui is right. Perhaps the true answer will come when the time is right."
The others also expressed their agreement, full of trust in Shui Wuya, believing he had his own plans and considerations.
When the time came, they would seek Shui Wuya's guidance again.
In reality, Shui Wuya himself did not know what the so-called ten thousand-year-old prophecy was, so how could he enlighten them?
Nonetheless, the three clan patriarchs remained intensely curious about the ancient prophecy.
"That prophecy has been around for ten thousand years."
And ten thousand years ago, after the arrival of the Ice God, the Angel God, Wind God, Fire God, and Healing God, various powerful beings emerged one after another.
Perhaps that great prophecy is related to becoming a deity," Qingyi said, his tone filled with a longing for history and anticipation.
"That must have been a glorious era."
Hearing Clan patriarch Qingyi's description, the Huo and Lei Clan Chiefs also looked on with longing, as if they could see that ancient and magnificent era, with those great and mysterious deities unfolding slowly on the canvas of creation.
The three chiefs continued discussing the strange events and anecdotes from ten thousand years ago.
Shui Wuya listened quietly.
Even Ye Leng Leng has become a deity. It seems things are progressing according to my plan, he thought with silent joy.
Shui Bing'er has successfully become a deity, which means I can also become one peacefully.
After all, with a God-King backing me, who would dare to cause trouble?
While everyone in the hall was discussing the ten thousand year old prophecy, a servant hurriedly entered.
"Chief Shui, an elder from the Spirit Hall seeks an audience, saying he has news regarding the Emperor of the Dou Ling Empire."
The servant spoke respectfully.
Shui Wuya nodded slightly, signaling for the elder to be brought in.
Soon, the elder from the Spirit Hall entered.
"Chief, the Pope has sent me to report."
The elder knelt before Shui Wuya, his voice respectful and powerful.
Out of consideration for the three chiefs present, he did not immediately disclose the details.
Shui Wuya said calmly, "Speak freely, there is no need for secrecy."
With the command given, the elder no longer hesitated.
He reported in detail how the Emperor of Dou Ling Empire had attempted to ally with the Spirit Hall against the Shui family, only to be rebuffed by the Pope with sarcasm and driven out of the hall, not daring to omit a single detail.
"Haha, the mere Emperor of Dou Ling dares to oppose patriarch Shui? It's laughable!" The Lei Clan Chief laughed heartily.
Clan patriarch Qingyi also chuckled lightly upon hearing this: "The Emperor of Dou Ling is absurd. Not only does he cling to his destructive ways, but he also seeks help from the Spirit Hall? He's courting death."
The Huo Clan patriarch similarly sneered.
They all understood that the small Emperor of Dou Ling was not worthy of Shui Wuya's attention.
If not for Shui Wuya's other motives, the Dou Ling Empire would have been obliterated long ago!
Shui Wuya also found it amusing that the Emperor of Dou Ling had been driven to such desperation.
It seems it's time to close the net.
At this moment, a Shui family elder, noticing Shui Wuya's thoughts, timely offered advice: "patriarch Shui, with the Dou Ling Empire now fractured and the royal family having lost their authority, this is the perfect opportunity for us to act and save the people of Dou Ling from their plight."
Shui Wuya nodded slightly.
Overthrowing the Dou Ling Empire would grant him control over its vast faith power, which is indispensable for his ascension to godhood.
"Very well," Shui Wuya declared firmly, "In that case, I will take action."
