Chapter 568: Those at the Peak Bleeds.

There are three peaks in the Deity Paradise that are revered by everyone. One of these was where Bai Xue's resting place lies, another was a Pagoda most of the Deities and the strongest figures resides to spend their days, lastly a peak with a Ten Story Pagoda they built because they had nothing better to do.

The Pagoda itself previously possessed no name, but on the same day, Wang Ling announced his plan it was given the [War Pagoda] as a proper title.

The tenth floor was just one big singular room. It was meant to house the body of a Serpent and now not a one-tenth of it was used up by a small number of people, a majority of which were connected to the Wang Family.

The tenth floor was now dubbed the [War Room] round table freshly crafted by what remained of the Dwarves and the Blacksmith Tower. 

Other than the Emperors of the Origin Races, the Second Generations of the Deities and Lixus who remained unconscious after his fight against Wang Ling, every single one present in the room were the remaining Peak Experts of the living.

Outside from the strongest that was the Wang Family, the current forces of the living were Four from the Ten Great Families Three from the Seven Towers One from the Three Immortal Sects.

Family Head Dang Gu Family Head Meng Li Family Head Han Ji Family Head Mu Wei Sect Leader Gong Yi Cosmic Eye Tower Shi Huo Sword Tower Chang Ping (Sword God) Alchemist Tower Yan Renhuo (Refining God) Immortal Law Sect Fan Yu

These were the remaining Ancestral Class Cultivators, and all of them managed to survive all because of sheer luck that they entered the hidden layer of cultivation beyond the Ninth Rank. They were now at the same level as Chang Ping.

None of them had any scars to prove they were in the battlefield, they looked as good as they had ever been, better than when they appeared in the Congregation, but that's only because of their cultivation and their spirit raging than ever before.

If it was any other time, they should be smiling, but none of them carried a smile on their faces for they all have already lost too much from the subsequent invasion. Their friends, families, disciples, citizens, after the horrific massacre.

"Mu Wei, you still have some Immortal Wine with you?" Dang Gu asked the Elven Leader.

"here." Mu Wei tossed Dang Gu a spatial ring, "That contains ten barrels of Immortal Mist Wonder Wine, it's stronger than we drink back at the Congregation anyone else wants some?" she offered the others as she brought out two barrels for herself.

"We are about to face the All-Father and the All-Mother, show a decorum of respect, Mortals." Garm, the GodKing of the Devils spoke in anger.

Mu Wei scoffed at the GodKing, "They called us here to talk right? I can't do that if I'm sober." She didn't care as she proceeded to toss a drink to the others, "Here! Have some!"

Chang Ping and the others caught her "goodwill" but didn't take out their contents. They watched from the side, all observing the situation, but they didn't stop Mu Wei or the others from chugging the wine down.

Garm is a calm and collected being. Having been one of the creatures who existed since the beginning of time, he cultivated his patience beyond what the current All-Father has. Philas, the GodKing of the Holy Race was similar.

However, they who valued the All-Father more so than pride and their own lives did not sit idly by seeing blatantly disrespecting their creator. Garm grit his teeth as he spoke again, "Do not be childish, Leader Mu Wei. You are an elf, created to be rational valuing grace more than any other, now, is the best moment to show such a trait. I suggest you stop your action, as well as you Leader Dang Gu before the All-Father arrives."

Garm said it was a suggestion but he was not taking a no for an answer. Now that he was about to see his creator after millions of years of separation, he was did not allow anything that may displease him.

Garm did his homework and learned that Wang Ling did not follow a set of rules, but he was known for his courtesy and grace. He would respect those who respected him and despised those that antagonized him and those who looks down upon him.

Mu Wei wasn't doing anything horribly wrong; she did not antagonize the All-Father, and she didn't necessarily look down upon him. But her gestures and actions were in total disregard of the All-Father's name and presence.

If this was any normal day he would let it be, but, today was unlike any other.

With a snort, Mu Wei, held the barrel in one hand and flipped Garm off, the GodKing, "Suck a penis, oh-so-glorious, GodKing."

FWU!

Garm's heartbeat became faster, and faster, and faster, his cultivated patience began to crumble. His thoughts started scrambling and like a child that realized the only way to stop his parents from leaving, Garm's body moved faster than he could rationalize his actions.

CLASH!

Mu Wei flew across the room and slammed into the wall, but Garm's fist never reached her, something block her path someone.

"That is enough, GodKing Garm." Wang Shu Qing said as he stopped Garm's fist with the shaft of his spear, "Chang Ping, check on Mu Wei."

"Understood." Chang Ping did not hesitate to follow orders.

Xiao Fei'er watched from the sidelines. She did not say anything neither did she do anything to respond.

"Get out of the way, Grand Elder Shu Qing, I need to make her understand I need to keep her in line." 

Wang Shu Qing slowly retracted his spear, "I know, but please understand that we can't lose anyone else now that we're in this state. We can't risk losing anyone."

"But Grand Elder such disrespect to the All-Father cannot be tolerated if it ticks him off if it sets the All-Father off he will leave us again." Garm said as he stood atop the table.

[We lost him once because of the fighting we have done all the blood that we shed we are not allowing him to leave us again.] Garm didn't want to lose him, thus his care, and Philas was aware of his desires, thus, his inaction.

"I understand, but do not worry, Ling'er does not mind such character. He would hate it more if you fight anyone for no reason." Wang Shu Qing explained. He was not entirely sure, but from what he read about Wang Ling's actions, this should prove true.

And as Wang Shu Qing saw Garm's eyes waver from his desire to fight, any intent to take it back disappeared.

"Really?" Garm asked.

Wang Shu Qing nodded, "Ye"

"Hey" A voice from the downed Mu Wei echoed in the room, quickly, his body recovered, his strength returned and the flood flowing out disappeared. She stood back up and started walking towards Garm and Wang Shu Qing, "Stop saying unnecessary shit, Ancestor Shu Qing. Don't get in his, let him be. Let him attack me I want to feel if he's really so strong as the legends say."

"Leader Mu Wei, stop antagonizing the GodKing." Chang Ping stood in front of Mu Wei to stop her from doing any more stupid shits, "Fighting him is meaningless."

"Get out my way, Sword God." She shoved Chang Ping out of her way.

She wanted to face Garm, she wanted to fight.

But Wang Shu Qing stood before her to stop her.

"Mu Wei, that is enough."

With her head lowered, Mu Wei held Wang Shu Qing's arm, "Get out of my way, Ancestor Shu Qing. Don't get in the way of a fight. You, the Ancestor of the Wang Family should know that much, right?" she said with a light chuckle.

"Stop it, Mu Wei don't pick unnecessary fights."

"get out of my way Ancestor Shu Qing this is my last warning." She began applying force on his shoulder as her hands began to tremble, "get out of my way before I make you."

"You don't want to do that"

"But I do."

"Then" Wang Shu Qing drew a breath, "Try doing it" 

Mu Wei's energy surged, the scent of flowers was released and her Domain engulfed the tenth floor turning the entire place into a forest.

The once wooden floor became a grassy plain filled with flowing blue light. 

On her hand appeared a blue light, and around them glowed with the same luminance. 

"I really will do it! Get out of my way, Ancestor Shu Qing!"

"As I said, try doing it."

"Aaaah AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" She roared as she sent a palm strike on the chest.

A power-filled to the brim with the touch of Nature, one empowered by the light of the Sacred Life, and Wang Shu Qing responded with nothing.

His hands remained lowered even when the others' intents all spiked and when the palm appeared an inch away from his chest, everything disappeared.

Mu Wei fell to her knees her body, trembling, "Why why wouldn't you allow me to fight? Why not fight me?"

Wang Shu Qing got on one knee and placed his hands on Mu Wei's head, "I will not fight you, Mu Wei, because it is not what you want."

"IT IS!" 

"No, you do not want to fight anyone what you want is an execution you want to die and follow them, don't you?"

Mu Wei slowly raised her head, tears streaming down her face as she held onto Wang Shu Qing's shoulders, "If you know that, then kill me! My husband, my son, my daughter, my disciple, everyone I cared about died and I lived! Please just kill me."

Wang Shu Qing said nothing as he comforted Mu Wei with his touch alone and Mu Wei wailed even the strongest can be hurt, and seeing one of theirs cry without shame others couldn't even stop to hold back their tears.

Holding onto their eyes, as they shed them to the ones they have lost.
