After witnessing Liu Yuan's displayed abilities and strength, both Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo were convinced and full of awe when they looked at him. They quickly knelt before him, acknowledging his divine status.
They understood that Liu Yuan was a god, and not just any god, but an incredibly powerful one. Despite the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's long history and knowledge of some other gods, Liu Yuan surpassed them all. His terrifying power of resurrecting the dead was unheard of among other gods.
Feeling the overwhelming disparity between themselves and Liu Yuan, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo had no choice but to submit and serve him. Trying to resist would only lead to a tragic death since they were mere mortals facing a god. It was a blessing for them to serve a god like Liu Yuan, especially considering the favor he had shown by reviving their fallen disciples and helping to revive their sect.
Liu Yuan smiled and raised his hand, gesturing for them to rise. He explained that he was in seclusion, preparing to break through to a higher level. Ning Fengzhi then asked why Liu Yuan didn't directly kill Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, to which Liu Yuan calmly responded that he was about to surpass them in strength.
He explained the hierarchy of the gods, with levels ranging from Divine Official, Third-level God, Second-level God, First-level God, to God King. Currently, Liu Yuan was at the pinnacle of the First-level God and was about to break through to God King. Even if Tang San became a god, he would only be a First-level God, and by then, Liu Yuan would be more than capable of dealing with him effortlessly.
Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo were shocked to realize the vast difference between Tang San and Liu Yuan's strength. Even without further breakthroughs, Liu Yuan could already defeat Tang San. Knowing this, they were now in awe of Liu Yuan more than ever.
They thought about Tang San's journey to Sea God Island for his final test. Even if he became the Sea God, it would be meaningless in the face of Liu Yuan's overwhelming strength. Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo couldn't help but shake their heads, knowing Tang San's fate was already sealed.
Liu Yuan then assigned Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo the task of leading the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's soldiers to withdraw from the Heaven Dou Empire's camp and station themselves at the Pope's Hall of the Spirit Hall. They agreed without hesitation, understanding that with Liu Yuan's support, they would be well protected.
As they traveled towards the Heaven Dou Empire's camp, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu discussed Liu Yuan. Ning Rongrong was astonished to learn that he was so young and powerful. However, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu reminded her that they had encountered Liu Yuan before in Soul Village when he was buried alive by Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.
Upon this reminder, Ning Rongrong's eyes widened in realization. She remembered the encounter and understood why Liu Yuan seemed familiar. She marveled at how Tang San and Yu Xiaogang had chosen such a foolish path, angering such a formidable being. She mocked their recklessness and concluded that they brought this fate upon themselves by incurring the wrath of a powerful god.
