Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity
Chapter 1286 - Chapter 1286 Chapter 809 The Origin of the Nine Nether Otters

Chapter 1286: Chapter 809: The Origin of the Nine Nether Otters Chapter 1286: Chapter 809: The Origin of the Nine Nether Otters Shi Hao could feel that the person standing in front of him was not an avatar, but truly the real person.

Immediately, he couldn’t help but tear up.

As the Sovereign of the Celestial Court and an existence at the Immortal King Level, he hadn’t shown his true feelings in countless years, but now he didn’t need to restrain himself.

After all, for him, the Willow God was not only his guide but also one of the most respected elders in his heart.

The Willow God had provided him with selfless guidance and help in cultivation and had also become his solid support and haven at the spiritual level.

This mentor-disciple relationship that transcended blood ties filled Shi Hao with gratitude and respect.

It was only when the Willow God appeared that Bird Grandpa, Grandpa Jing Bi, and the Lord of the Forbidden Area came back to their senses; the first two looked at the peerless figure in front of them in shock, while the latter showed a face of satisfaction.

“Old friend, you’ve come back!” The Lord of the Forbidden Area’s eyes sparkled, being the first to react, he spoke out loud.

The Willow God smiled slightly, nodding gently towards the Lord of the Forbidden Area.

“Elder!” Although Bird Grandpa and Grandpa Jing Bi were not familiar with the Willow God, they all belonged to the same era and were part of the vanguard in the battle against the invasion from the Alien Territory in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, so they had at least heard some stories.

Both were at the Supreme Immortal King Level, thus they directly addressed the Willow God as elder.

The Willow God smiled again and then turned to Shi Hao, his voice warm and gentle:

“I am doing well, no need to worry. But you, Shi Hao, you have grown rapidly over these years, which pleases me greatly.”

Her words were filled with admiration and expectation. The mind-boggling speed at which he entered the Realm of Fairy King, especially as a Red Dust Immortal stepping into King’s Domain, was extravagant even in her eyes, exceeding her own past pace, for such speed already broke the iron laws of the world.

Bird Grandpa, Grandpa Jing Bi, and the Lord of the Forbidden Area tactfully left, leaving only Willow God and Shi Hao.

The two stood shoulder to shoulder on the peak, gazing at the distant horizon.

Willow God shared with Shi Hao her experiences and observations at The Boundary Sea, as well as the root and strategies to confront the dark turmoil, while Shi Hao listened on the side, feeling as if he was thrown back to his childhood days. The passage of time, having an old friend still alive, was indeed a blessing.

“Your progress is swift, but remember not to be hasty. The dark turmoil has not yet fully subsided, and the path ahead is long; you must continue to strive hard, guard this world,” Willow God said earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao immediately replied: “Elder, rest assured, I, Shi Hao, will not fail your expectations. I vow to protect this land until the darkness fades and the light endures forever!”

His voice was firm and powerful, echoing between heaven and earth, as if making a vow for the future and also a sincere promise to the Willow God.

After staying in the Heavenly Court for a while, Willow God returned to Liu Village.

Jiang Hui didn’t continue his retreat as he couldn’t immediately grasp enlightenment; he might as well relax and perhaps succeed.

Willow God immediately voiced her doubts and inquired about the origins of the meat mountain she had seen back then.

Jiang Hui did not play mysterious but told the origins honestly.

“Nine Nether Mink!”

Jiang Hui slowly said.

“Nine Nether Mink?” Upon hearing this, Willow God subconsciously murmured, and then her expression turned somewhat astonished, as she had never expected this answer.

This is a very ancient race with a very ancient origin, so ancient that even in her view, it dates back to even more desolate eras than the Immortal Ancient times.

However, ancientness does not mean she is unaware of it — there are many ancient races in the world, and the Nine Nether Mink is one of the Ten Evil, known for their powerful bloodline.

Especially in terms of vitality, it’s extraordinarily exaggerated, beyond even that of True Dragons, though the latter are naturally brutal and slightly bloodthirsty, a well-known consensus.

Currently, the descendants of the Nine Nether Mink walking the world are few, but each one is quite extraordinary, having made a significant name for themselves, yet she had never heard that this race had birthed an Emperor.

After all, it is well known that though the Ten Evil were extremely powerful from birth, claimed to be an immortal race, they naturally faced barriers.

Though their physical bodies could step into the Immortal King Realm, other than True Dragons who obtained their real names, the other Nine Evils all had certain deficiencies in Dao, making it incredibly difficult for both their physical bodies and Primordial Spirits to reach a perfect level.

Could it be that in the unimaginable ancient times, there really existed an unimaginable being among this race who broke all restraints and successfully stepped into the Emperor Realm?! This was somewhat unimaginable.

For a moment, Willow God found it difficult to return to her senses, her mind like a lake brushed by autumn wind, rippling continuously, unable to calm down for a long time.

“Nine Nether Mink… could it actually be that fourth Dark Quasi-Celestial Emperor?”

Willow God’s voice was low and solemn, her gaze seemed to traverse the boundaries of time, attempting to capture a glimpse of truth in the endless darkness.

“Sir, do you have solid evidence for your claim? The Nine Nether Mink Clan, though overwhelmingly strong, has never been recorded to break into such a realm.” Willow God’s voice carried a hint of caution, well aware that any oversight in these chaotic times could bring unforeseeable consequences,

Despite that it wasn’t something she should be saying, she still said it subconsciously.

“Evidence…” Jiang Hui pondered for a moment, “My word is the evidence.”

Hearing this, Willow God slightly startled, then her brows lightly furrowed. She gently lifted her hand, and thousands of willow branches seemed to dance in the void, weaving ancient scenes that quickly dispersed: “If it is truly so, the complexity behind this exceeds imagination. The Nine Nether Mink Clan, known for their strong vitality, if indeed an ancestor stepped into the Emperor Realm, the methods and arrangements left behind would be extraordinary.”

“If that is the case, I will go to the Nine Netherworld myself, perhaps, there I can find the answers I seek.”

However, she was stopped by Jiang Hui.

“There’s no need to go there, the descendants of that Nine Nether Mink have all been devoured and suppressed, the Nine Nether Mink Clan from the Nine Netherworld and”

“There’s no need to go there, the descendants of that Nine Nether Mink have all been devoured and suppressed, the Nine Nether Mink Clan from the Nine Netherworld and”

Willow God moved, transforming into a streak of light, weaving through the woods, finally stopping above an ancient altar. This place was once her enlightenment site; stepping here again, her heart surged with unprecedented determination and belief.

She closed her eyes and concentrated, her surroundings enveloped in a faint green hue, a manifestation of the vitality force and her unique signature as the Willow God. In this space bathed in light, Willow God began further deducing and refining the new method.

As time flowed, it was unknown how long had passed, but when the first ray of morning light pierced through the clouds, shining on this ancient land, Willow God slowly opened her eyes. Her pupils shimmered with a deeper light, as if they contained all the mysteries and powers of the universe.

“The new method is complete; though it cannot be widely disseminated, it is enough to give me an extra measure of certainty on the path against the darkness.” Willow God muttered softly to herself, then her figure expanded and vanished from the spot, leaving only vibrant greenery and a faint fragrance lingering in the air.
