Spare Me, Great Lord!

When Coral heard the phrase God Lu, she did not seem surprised. She simply looked at Lu Shu, amused.

To Lu Shu, it sounded like an upgraded version of King Lu…

But he did not say anything else. He did not want to talk about this!

“You still haven’t told us how to escape the remains,” said Lu Shu.

“Escaping the remains is the easiest thing for her,” said the King Cow.

Lu Shu and Coral looked at each other helplessly. Easiest? Lu Shu suddenly asked, “Then why didn’t she escape?”

Gu Qin sighed. “Even if I get out, I will still be in this world. What meaning is there? My core will stay here. Accidents will happen easily.”

Oh. Lu Shu now understood. There was a limit to Gu Qin’s strength. This tree was her core. It would be very difficult to move it. If she wanted to leave after becoming intelligent, her core would be in danger. For example, if it was tied up, she would be restricted to her surrounding environment.

“What kind of tree are you?” Lu Shu asked curiously.

Gu Qin thought about it and said, “A tree that is not supposed to be in this world. Fine. Come under the tree. I will send you out.”

Lu Shu thought about it. Then, he said to the King Cow and Gu Qin, “Wait. I have one last question. Why can some creatures turn into humans, while others can’t?”

When the King Cow heard this, it said with disdain, “I thought it was an important question!”

Lu Shu’s expression darkened. “I don’t want to hear that from you.”

“Let me ask you a question. Why do we have to turn into human form?” The King Cow laughed coldly. Its tail waved. It breathed heavily through its nostrils.

But this question stumped Lu Shu. “Er… don’t they say that humans are the best? Turning into human form would be best? Or humans are the best looking?”

“That is what you humans think!” The King Cow looked down on him. “To me, the mother cow is the best looking. I cannot tell whether your human dolls are good looking or not. Furthermore, turning into a human would be best? We relied on our own bodies to train to the master realm. Would we become even better if we turned into humans? You speak as if you humans are the rulers of this world. She did not completely evolve into a human either. Furthermore, she is a plant. If she wants to change her appearance, she would need a reference.”

Lu Shu suddenly realized that the idea of humans being superior was most likely conceived by humans. Other creatures did not think the same way!

“But there are other creatures who have turned into humans.” When Lu Shu thought about this, he thought about Hai Gongzi.

“There are such cases as well.” The King Cow nodded its head. “Some creatures were bestowed upon them the permission to become a human. Back then, humans were the ones who controlled the world. Then, these creatures chose to take on a human form when they evolved, as their techniques had changed after they became masters. They had to change.”

Lu Shu finally understood. Some select groups would become humans. According to the King Cow, after they took on human form, even their techniques and vital channels would transform. The King Cow was definitely unwilling to let go of some of its techniques.

It was as if they had been bestowed a surname from the royal family. Afterwards, they even changed their first names. This was a metaphor, but it covered the essence of the situation.

This was probably what had happened to the dragons.

Lu Shu pretended that nothing had happened and said, “Isn’t God Lu a human too? Why didn’t the same thing happen to him?”

The King Cow was shocked. “You humans are too full of yourselves. Are you trying to be on par with God Lu? Who told you that God Lu is human?”

Lu Shu was dumbfounded.

He was looked down upon just like that? Why did it seem like humans had become the lowest beings in the food chain after coming to the remains?

Wait. There was something wrong. Had his judgment been wrong from the very beginning?

“Wait.” Lu Shu said, “Don’t bluff me. I have seen a statue of God Lu. He is human.”

“God Lu, God Lu. According to the legends, he was born from the heaven and the earth. He has no mother or father. What does he have to do with you humans?” The King Cow looked at him in disdain.

This was the first time Lu Shu had been looked down upon by a cow so many times in a day. He carefully looked at the King Cow. He wanted to attack the cow and throw it into the celestial map with the other creatures!

As for the King Cow’s argument that God Lu was not a human, Lu Shu did not believe it. He had seen the statue of King Lu with his own eyes. Furthermore…

Lu Shu felt that the King Cow’s argument was based on its biased views against humans. Furthermore, it had reached this conclusion due to its blind admiration towards the old King of Gods.

“Don’t you blame God Lu for trapping you here?” Lu Shu asked curiously.

“I was not trapped here.” The King Cow corrected him. “I came here myself.”

“What about you, Gu Qin?” Lu Shu looked at Gu Qin.

“I don’t blame him,” said Gu Qin calmly.

This was very strange. Was the old King of Gods very charismatic? If he were to send Chen Zuan here, he would start complaining on the streets on the first night!

Furthermore, no matter whether it was the Imperial Dragon Soldiers, or the Puppet Masters, they were all very loyal.

Lu Shu thought about it and said, “Send us out. I cannot talk with this cow.”

“Who would be able to talk with you?” The King Cow said coldly.

At that moment, Lu Shu suddenly saw the roots of the tree move. Underneath the roots was a flight of stairs going down!

“Is this… the path to outside the forbidden land?” Lu Shu was dumbfounded. “That’s all?”

“Yes, that’s all.” Gu Qin said, “The forbidden land cannot stop me. Thus, I used my roots to open a pathway.”

Gu Qin was able to break through the barrier that the white serpent could not even go through. No wonder “Miao Miao” came to find her after he came to the forbidden land. There was something special about her.

But Lu Shu was slightly curious. How did this tree threaten the outside world? Why was it locked up here?

Lu Shu hesitated. What if there was a trap? But Coral looked up and said to Gu Qin, “I’m glad to have met you. We shall take our leave.”

With that, she walked down the steps. Gu Qin looked at how Coral trusted her. She suddenly felt that being trusted felt good.

Lu Shu looked at the King Cow. “Do you want me to bring you some lightning before I leave?”

The King Cow’s eyes lit up. “Really?”

“No.” With that, Lu Shu went down the steps, leaving the King Cow furious. What a cheater!
