Chapter 1 The Grand Wilderness · Heavenly Emperor Mountain

Yu the Great was locked by chains, in this area outside of all directions, the dark side of the world, accompanied only by eternal loneliness and silence. He had just faintly sensed a trace of prying eyes, and that familiar aura, but in an instant, the aura disappeared, covered by a distant presence.

Accompanied by footsteps, an old man with a curved spine walked in, carrying a lantern, his voice hoarse: "What is Emperor Yu saying? What Abyss?"

The black-haired man, streaks of white, laughed, bound by chains, and said, "Yes, Abyss."

He still said triumphantly:

"My friend, I just remembered the meals he cooked again. They were really delicious."

"Not too salty, not too bland, you should have a chance to try them."

"Much better than here."

Si Wenming didn't reveal a single flaw and changed the subject:

"Or, you let me out, and I'll make some more food?"

The old man with the curved spine showed a bitter expression. Even the emotionless and tearless gods felt their stomachs churning. After this Emperor Yu's soul was brought here, he once argued about cooking. Out of respect for the strong, the gods of Heavenly Emperor Mountain granted Emperor Yu's request.

And they also enthusiastically prepared ingredients for Emperor Yu.

In the end, the gods suffered the most severe blow in thousands of years.

If it weren't for Yu the Great eating it without changing his expression.

They almost thought that this thick-browed, big-eyed human king was poisoning the food.

No, he was adding noodles to the poison.

But, speaking of which, that day there was another person who ate it without changing his expression...

Yu the Great, Si Wenming, raised his head, his tiger eyes shining brightly, and looked over there. A man in ordinary clothes walked over, carrying a wine jar in his right hand. The other's hands hung down to his waist, tall, but with a dignified bearing. His gaze was like stars and myriad phenomena, and his handsome appearance was unparalleled among the gods.

"Di Jun."

The old man hurriedly saluted and said, "Your Majesty."

Di Jun waved his hand and then directly released Yu the Great's chains temporarily, saying, "If you want to cook, then go ahead." Yu the Great laughed and said, "Really, with your personality, if we weren't enemies, I think we would get along very well."

"Yuan, Qi, they don't want to eat my food."

"I've been thinking about a lot of dishes these years."

The hunched old man with drooping eyebrows twitched at the corner of his eye, automatically translating this sentence in his heart.

These years, he has come up with many ways to waste ingredients.

Yu the Great is a person who always surprises people.

He seems to have some extremely mysterious and magical ability.

To turn all the best ingredients into a pot of charcoal.

Even eating these foods raw wouldn't taste bad.

But after being cooked by this smart guy, the hunchbacked old man believed that even Taotie could be poisoned to death.

Damn it, Taotie won't even eat the food cooked by Yu the Great.

But after this king of the human world, dressed in coarse cloth and with messy hair, finished cooking, the Heavenly Emperor, dressed in ordinary clothes but still looking jade-like and dignified, with handsome eyebrows, brushed his sleeves and sat down to eat with him. The old man felt very sorry for his Heavenly Emperor as he watched him put one dark lump after another into his mouth without changing his expression.

No, Your Majesty... is it worth it?

Yu the Great laughed: "Interesting, Di Jun, you are really interesting. You are the first person willing to eat my food with me."

Di Jun said indifferently: "Not everyone is qualified to be on par with me."

Yu the Great grinned: "I'm different. I don't care about that. As long as you're willing, anyone can eat with me. It's more lively with more people."

Di Jun: "You're very proud of yourself?"

Yu the Great said triumphantly: "Of course, I always eat with a lot of people, Yuan, Nujiao, and also Qi, and the passing mountain gods and water gods. You're always alone, lonely without a companion, how boring?"

Di Jun said plainly: "All nonsense."

Yu the Great laughed loudly.

Di Jun picked up the wine jar and touched Yu the Great's wine jar.

Yu the Great held up the heavenly wine with both hands, raised his neck, and drank large gulps. Some of the wine spilled out, landing on his beard and wetting his clothes, like a majestic tiger, while Di Jun, when he raised the wine jar and drank, was still exceptionally dashing, like a noble phoenix.

After a meal of wine and meat, Di Jun brushed his sleeves and stood up, saying, "This is probably the last time we'll meet."

The Heavenly Emperor of the Grand Wilderness paused and looked sideways at Yu the Great, who was locked up again.

"The prying gaze just now, was it looking for you?"

"I won't investigate it."

"Yu the Great, Si Wenming." Di Jun said, "Goodbye."

"Um... yes..."

The imprisoned Yu whispered with a smile: "Goodbye."

"Di Jun."

Di Jun nodded to Emperor Yu with his back turned, and strode away without looking back. Both of them knew that this final goodbye meant that Emperor Yu's soul could not withstand the next meeting. The divine general guarding this place raised his head and saw that Yu the Great seemed to be immersed in this atmosphere of mutual appreciation between heroes and the sadness of their last meeting. He sighed in his heart for a moment, and then...

Yu the Great burped.

Divine General: "............"

Okay, the atmosphere is gone.

What a mutual appreciation between heroes. The divine general felt that if Yu the Great wasn't tied up, he might scratch his belly and lie on the bed yawning, and then use his right toe to scratch the itch on his thigh, looking like a middle-aged uncle.

Yu the Great is a person who always surprises people.

He shouldn't have had any expectations for this guy.

The divine general complained in his heart, and after sending Di Jun out, he saw the Heavenly Emperor leaving calmly. The divine general respectfully saw off the Emperor and looked at the hunchbacked old man beside him, saying, "Your Majesty seems to value Emperor Yu very much..."

"Yes, since ancient times, Yu has not even been ranked among the top ten of His Majesty's opponents."

The old man said, "But among those whose power surpassed him, no one has ever achieved the feat of fighting Di Jun for 30,000 miles. In the last 5,000 miles, Yu the Great was actually already dead, but he still refused to fall. His soul wielded his sword and fought, magnificent and tragic. When I recall it now, I still have lingering fears."

He recalled that night of fighting. Facing the gods, the man covered in blood roared and fought like a fierce tiger and dragon, wielding both the Xuanyuan Sword and the Yeying Sword at the same time. The roar of the human race resounded throughout the Grand Wilderness. In that battle, Yu the Great proved that the dignity and will of humans were by no means inferior to the arrogance of the gods.

Therefore, when Nujiao's plan was implemented, Di Jun did not show up.

This meant that Di Jun himself recognized the wisdom and courage represented by the human race.

"In that case... then why did Di Jun treat him like that..."

The young divine general hesitated.

The old mountain god of Heavenly Emperor Mountain looked back at the lazy and heroic man, knowing that beneath the other's expression was the immense pain of constantly grinding his soul and true spirit, and replied, "What is true respect in the face of a worthy opponent?"

"It is to kill him with all your strength!"

"This is His Majesty's view."

"Holding back is an insult to each other, an insult to the king of the human race who fought alone for 30,000 miles that day and finally died of exhaustion, his body unyielding. It is precisely because of heartfelt recognition and respect that His Majesty chose to kill him with all his strength until his soul was scattered."

The old man sighed: "Therefore, this is also His Majesty's restraint."

"Only someone like Yu the Great is qualified to receive His Majesty's friendship."

"And as a friend recognized and respected in his heart, His Majesty must kill him with all his strength."

In this conversation, Yu the Great's head drooped down. His limbs and waist were trapped by chains. Those thin chains spread in all directions, becoming thicker and thicker as they spread outward. In the end, the thickness of these chains was even comparable to the height of Mount Tai, disappearing into the vast sea of ​​clouds of time and space.

Accompanied by the surging clouds of time.

The things bound by the chains appeared.

Each of these five chains was tied to a huge, blazing sun.

The huge chains as thick as Mount Tai were as thin as hairs on these great suns, and within these huge suns, there were strange beasts that were not golden crows roaring and crawling, pulling this Heavenly Emperor Mountain to tour the endless worlds of the Three Realms and Ten Directions at a seemingly slow but actually fast speed.

This is the Heavenly Emperor's palace.

Five stars fell into the four directions, flowing in different directions. Yu the Great's true spirit was thus firmly fixed on Heavenly Emperor Mountain. As Heavenly Emperor Mountain wandered, his soul was constantly ground and shattered until finally, it would disappear more completely than falling into Guixu between heaven and earth.

"Perhaps, even Yu the Great's soul can't withstand it anymore, right?"

The old man sighed.

........................

At the same time, Longhu Mountain.

"Zhao, God of Wealth, I have no malice."

"Come, let me introduce you, Da Yi, a good man, doesn't he look handsome?"

"Isn't he much more handsome than Xing Tian, who has a face full of hideous flesh?"

"Look, baby fat, you can pinch it, it feels great, very healing!"

"Huh? Pinching Da Yi's face is a horror movie?"

"Haha, what are you talking about?"

"Really, I won't attack you."

"Come down quickly, I really just want to have a good talk with you."

Wei Yuan looked up, helpless. Zhao Gongming flew almost out of the atmosphere, or rather, he had already flown out. This guy was now directly hugging the navigation satellite of the New World country on the other side of the ocean, holding on tightly and refusing to come down. It was only because he still had self-awareness that he didn't hug the satellites of Shenzhou in his urgency.

Now that satellite was almost crushed like a pillow.

Wei Yuan and Da Yi shouted in the high sky.

Zhao Gongming shouted angrily: "Nonsense!"

"I know you raised a Taotie."

"You even brought a hunter! And you are a cook yourself!"

"You just want to turn me into a golden crow and then grill my wings into chicken wings."

"I curse you to be poorer this year than last year, you bastard!"

Museum Director Wei was furious: "My house is home to the Martial God of Wealth, Guan Yunchang, I'll reflect it back!"

"Besides, I'm already so poor that I can't possibly get any poorer, okay!"

"Anyway, I really don't intend to fight with you, come down quickly!"

Zhao Gongming shouted: "Write an IOU!"

"You write an IOU!"
