I'll Quit Being a God

Chapter 485: Going Through Fire and Water

The congratulations from Candle Dragon and Jiu Mie left Lu Heng speechless.

The white dragon girl fixed her gaze upon them and uttered, "I am not the master's daughter, but his disciple!"

Speaking, the white dragon girl leaped forward and inquired, "How is it that both esteemed individuals possess such limited discernment? Does one truly perceive any resemblance between me and the revered master's daughter?"

The young girl exclaimed with wide eyes.

After the girl jumped out, Jiu Mie and Candle Dragon were even more greatly astonished.

"Not a daughter? A master-disciple relationship?" Jiu Mie looked at Lu Heng in astonishment and said, "My friend, are you unwilling to acknowledge even your own biological daughter?"

Candle Dragon quickly held him back and said, "Friend Lu Heng must have his reasons. We should understand him. Let's listen to what he has to say. What if we wrongly accuse him? The mighty Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain and the Supreme of the Heavenly Court, how could they be followers without filial piety There must be underlying circumstances!"

Jiu Mie, filled with indignation, said, "Even if he has the greatest of reasons, he should not refuse to acknowledge their own daughter! Such behavior is simply heartless and ruthless! By committing such vile acts with the heart of a wolf and the actions of a dog, his reputation will surely be tarnished in due time!"

The two of them sang in unison, leaving the white dragon girl stunned. She never expected that the two top-notch cultivators mentioned by her master would be like this. At that moment, the majestic image of the two extraordinary cultivators in the girl's heart completely collapsed.

Lu Heng, glaring at his two mischievous friends, said, "Have our partings been too long, and have you developed an itch for a challenge? Perhaps we can engage in a duel first, for you both to taste the power of heavenly thunder, and then we can reminisce."

In an instant, the enraged Jiu Mie and the earnestly persuasive Candle Dragon both vanished.

In a blink of an eye, the two appeared back at their original seats, serving each other tea with laughter, creating a relaxed atmosphere.

"Candle Dragon, my friend, speaking of which, it has been three years since we last met."

"Haha Indeed, three years ago we parted at the Cliff of Dao, and now, unexpectedly, we meet again. However, we don't know who summoned us here."

Speaking, the two seemed to have sensed something, simultaneously turning to look at Lu Heng, their faces filled with instant delight.

"Oh? Friend Lu Heng?"

"Indeed! It is Friend Lu Heng!"

"Hahahaha Friend Lu Heng!"

The two stood up, laughing heartily, and walked over with joyous smiles, saying, "After four thousand years apart, my friend, you have finally returned!"

"Yes, indeed! Four thousand years without seeing each other, we were longing for each other!"

The old monk and Candle Dragon laughed heartily, and one by one they approached and embraced Lu Heng.

Lu Heng smiled and greeted them with courtesy, then the three of them took their seats, creating a harmonious atmosphere of joy and camaraderie.

Everything that just happened felt as if it had never occurred.

The white dragon girl, stood in a state of awe, utterly dumbfounded by the spectacle before her.

These three naive spirits before my eyes This Are they truly the top three innate cultivators of the Celestial Desolation Realm?

Upon contemplating this reality, and considering the formidable adversaries in the World of Eight Desolations, the young girl was overwhelmed, to the point of almost fainting, and a sense of hopelessness regarding the fate of the Celestial Desolation Realm emerged within her.

On the Cliff of Dao, the three individuals reunited. Despite the cheerful and lively atmosphere, the joy of this long-awaited reunion, after years of separation, was an uncontrollable delight even for the top innate cultivators among them.

Of course, there is no need for the three of them to suppress or conceal their respective emotions.

They burst into laughter, gleefully and openly discussing the various interesting events that had occurred over the past four thousand years. They talked about the panic-stricken reaction of the dragon clan members on Sanxian Island when Lu Heng and the Dragon Emperor disappeared, the near-explosion of the Dragon Palace caused by Candle Dragon and Jiu Mie, and how it was ultimately prevented by Lian Cangqing and the exiled dragon offspring, Ao Tianxing, who hurriedly arrived from the mainland to advise and intervene. This calamity was brought to an end.

Therefore, Lu Heng came to know the true identity of that rogue, Ao Tianxing.

This individual is actually a member of the dragon clan, albeit not a true dragon descendant, but rather a hybrid of the dragon clan and a demon cultivator. Due to his dislike for the secluded customs of the dragon clan, he caused trouble on the island throughout the year, ultimately being expelled by Dragon Emperor Xiu Ya and allowed to freely roam outside.

Subsequently, they also discussed the establishment of the Heavenly Court and the rise of the Demon King.

Candle Dragon sighed and said, "Oh, Friend Lu Heng, your Hanyu Mountain is truly a place of exceptional talent and spiritual energy. Each disciple under your tutelage is a remarkable individual, one standing at the pinnacle of righteousness and another as the supreme ruler of the Demon Palace. Both the paths of righteousness and wickedness are encompassed by your Hanyu Mountain, and with the addition of your hidden presence as the behind-the-scenes Heavenly Lord If it weren't for me and Friend Jiu Mie witnessing your disappearance, we would have doubted whether you intentionally vanished and retreated into the shadows to manipulate the situation in the Celestial Desolation Realm."

Jiu Mie chuckled and said, "Nowadays, my dear friend, you hold the pinnacle powers of both righteousness and wickedness, the entire Celestial Desolation Realm is within your grasp. Truly extraordinary, extraordinary indeed I am simply curious about the script you have written for the upcoming great battle between righteousness and wickedness."

Candle Dragon nodded and said, "Yes, yes, this great battle between righteousness and wickedness is of utmost importance. On one side, we have Demon King Sun Yan, a genius of astonishing brilliance, who commands awe and reverence throughout the world, truly deserving the title of the most exceptional talent the demonic path has seen in a million years."

"One side is Supreme God Lu Ai, the senior disciple of Heavenly Lord, the senior sister of Hanyu Mountain, bearing the Heavenly Thunder Sword, and wielding the authority of righteousness. Regardless of the person, they are both exceptional talents my friend, how do you plan to script this?"

The two of them smiled and looked towards Lu Heng.

In response to this, Lu Heng helplessly smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "For the followers of wickedness and heretical paths, they must be eradicated. It is inconceivable for me to allow the growth of the demonic path, no matter how much I contemplate it."

After Lu Heng finished speaking, Candle Dragon exclaimed in astonishment, "This implies a biased stance"

Jiu Mie took a sip of tea with a composed demeanor and said, "Even among disciples, there are distinctions. A well-behaved and adorable young girl, compared to a mischievous and unruly troublemaker, if it were up to me, I would choose the former."

Candle Dragon shook his head and said, "Friend Jiu Mie, your words are far from accurate. How can you easily predict the actions of Heavenly Lord Lu? Everything he has done thus far is meant to catch you off guard I wager that he will definitely intervene to assist the Demon King, leading to the eternal prosperity of the demonic path and the collapse of the Heavenly Court."

Lu Heng stared at the two of them and said, "I won't show favoritism to anyone! Moreover, speaking of which, Sun Yan may have become stronger than me now. Even if I personally intervene, what impact can I really make? Unless both of you help me, perhaps then the situation could undergo a change."

As soon as Lu Heng uttered these words, Candle Dragon and Jiu Mie's eyes widened in astonishment.

"Turns out Friend Lu Heng came here to recruit strong individuals" Jiu Mie exclaimed wide-eyed, seemingly unable to accept it.

"I knew something was amiss," Candle Dragon sighed, "Old Wolf is full of malicious intentions. As the saying goes, if a wolf turns its head, there must be a reason. He's been gone for four thousand years, and as soon as he returns, he summons us. Indeed, he has dug a pit for us to jump into sigh he truly harbors wickedness deep within."

Lu Heng could not help but laugh and cry as he said, "Do our two friends really intend to remain indifferent? This matter is of great importance and cannot be casually ignored."

Candle Dragon sighed and said, "Helping is not impossible, but there must be a reward."

Jiu Mie nodded and said, "Indeed, as they say, no gains without early rising. I, old ascetic cultivator, don't engage in endeavors without any benefits."

Lu Heng, with a helpless expression, looked at the two individuals and asked, "What kind of reward do these friends require in order to lend a hand?"

"Um well, actually, it's not that difficult"

"That's right, it's not difficult."

"Friends only need to inform us of the background and origins of this young lady."

"Indeed, just fulfilling a tiny bit of our Eight Trigrams' desires, my friend Candle Dragon and I will be willing to brave any hardships and difficulties for you, without hesitation."

"Hehe"
