"If I'm not mistaken, this Fellow is the son of the elder who was executed, right?"
"That elder really had a tragic fate. With such strong abilities, he chose a beast tribe woman and committed the Golden Clan's greatest taboo. Not even a deity could save him."
"This Fellow, by seniority, is my uncle..."
Golden Mechanism thought to himself as Supreme Deity of Southern Ming spoke up, "Child, do you know who I am?"
"You are Mother’s partner, Jin Nanming, right? Should I call you Uncle?" Golden Mechanism probed.
Supreme Deity of Southern Ming nodded and said, "That's right, I am Jin Nanming. It is also appropriate for you to call me Uncle."
Golden Mechanism thought as expected, then smiled and said, "Uncle, you came back this time to visit Mother, didn't you?"
"Indeed," Supreme Deity of Southern Ming replied with a nod.
After a moment of silence, Golden Mechanism continued, "Uncle, there have always been tales of you within the clan, but weren't you exiled to the Endless Divine Realm? As far as I know, there are suppressive formations left by the boundary force Bloodshed Shop in the Endless Divine Realm. The Sixth Level Divine Realm is the peak. If you bring the Sixth Level Divine Realm to Golden City, I can tell you directly that you won't be able to see Mother. The clan established that you must reach the Eleventh Level Divine Realm before returning. Now that you're back, you've already committed a grave taboo. If the Patriarch gets angry, you might be in danger."
Golden Mechanism paused for a moment and then suggested, "Why not take me directly to the Endless Divine Realm, build an aerial fortress there? When it's done, you can pilot the fortress back; even Golden City won't be able to stop you. You can take Mother away without any fear; I guarantee that the Patriarch won't dare to say a word."
Isn't the Patriarch Golden Mechanism's grandfather? Why does it feel like he has no respect for that so-called Patriarch at all? Wei Chen found it quite intriguing.
Supreme Deity of Southern Ming smiled lightly and said, "Child, my current strength is about on par with your father. Perhaps the Patriarch won't allow me to take your mother away, but meeting her should be possible, right?"
After pondering for a moment, Golden Mechanism replied, "You can give it a try. Mother has been waiting for you for a long time; we can't bear to watch any longer. But as for me being useless, it has caused my father's status within the clan to decline as well; I can't help much."
With a self-deprecating smile filled with resentment in his eyes, he reflected on his confidence in his mechanical construction skills and abilities. Yet the Golden Clan ignored his talents and deemed him unworthy; what could he do about it?
Supreme Deity of Southern Ming nodded slightly. He secretly appreciated Wei Chen, who had given him new hope when he was about to return home.
However, Wei Chen was already quite satisfied. If it weren't for arriving at the Golden Clan Secret Realm, and by coincidence following the Jinsha River to Golden City, he wouldn't have had such a great opportunity to meet a mechanical genius.
Wei Chen had no doubt about the Golden Mechanism; it was clear that the Golden Mechanism was not just boasting. When ordinary people brag, they often lack confidence, but when the Golden Mechanism boasted, there was a strong conviction behind it. This proved that he indeed had the skills and a high level of mechanical construction.
For Wei Chen, acquiring the talent of the Golden Mechanism made this trip to the Golden Clan Secret Realm worthwhile.
As for the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, that depended on his own abilities. In any case, it was impossible to forcibly take someone in the Golden Clan Secret Realm; if he wanted to see the Golden Flower, he could only negotiate…
“Golden Flower… Leopard… Golden Mechanism… The people in the Golden Clan Secret Realm have such low cultural standards; their names are so unimaginably vulgar…” Wei Chen secretly mocked the cultural level of the Golden Clan Secret Realm. The fact that their names sounded so unpleasant indicated that the people there neglected cultural learning and focused solely on cultivation, ignoring inner refinement.
Thinking further, it made sense. If the cultural refinement of the Golden Clan Secret Realm were high, then matters concerning the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming and the Golden Flower would not have reached such a situation. The bloodline endowment of the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming was strong, embodying both the strengths of the Golden Clan and the Beast Tribe; it should have been a great fusion! Who would have thought that the Golden Clan had such ridiculous rules, being feudal to an extreme? To Wei Chen, this was a sign of low quality.
In essence, the more fusion there is, the stronger it becomes; this is a consensus!
Yet within the Golden Clan Secret Realm, there were feudal clan rules prohibiting intermarriage with outsiders—this was backward and regressive.
The names they chose were unimaginably tacky.
Was there not a single decent name?
Even Fire Dragon Augustus, due to his parents' incompatible lineage, did not suffer such oppression!
The so-called Golden Clan—an uncivilized Golden Clan—had not even reached the enlightenment level of the Dragon Tribe.
“Alright, you just stay here peacefully. From now on, you will have disappeared from the Golden Clan Secret Realm. No one will know where you went. When we leave, you will follow us to the Endless Divine Realm,” said the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming.
The Golden Mechanism chuckled and said, “That sounds great! Once I build an aerial fortress at level six, even if elders from the Golden Clan come looking for me, it won’t matter. I can handle ten elders from the Golden Clan all by myself!”
Hearing the words of Golden Mechanism, Wei Chen became even more convinced that this individual’s mechanical construction skills were beyond imagination. Such confidence was indeed rare.
Wei Chen and the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming exited the True God World. The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming had manifested his true form, while Wei Chen returned in spirit.
The Ying Qin Supreme Deity hurriedly asked, "What’s the situation?"
Wei Chen smiled and replied, "That fellow has already been subdued by me. I will take him to the Endless Divine Realm to help us build a large Warship."
The Ying Qin Supreme Deity was not concerned about that; no matter how powerful a Warship was, could it be faster than his Void Traversal?
He turned to the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming and asked, "Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, did you find out anything? That fellow must know the whereabouts of your wife, right?"
"Yes, he is my wife's nephew," the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming said lightly.
Upon hearing this, the Ying Qin Supreme Deity was astonished. What on earth was going on?
"Ying Qin Supreme Deity, it’s quite a coincidence. Fate has its own arrangements. That fellow is named Golden Mechanism, and his father is my wife's biological brother," Wei Chen explained with a smile.
The Ying Qin Supreme Deity gave a thumbs up to the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, genuinely impressed!
Where could one find such luck?
Casually encountering a large ship and robbing it only to discover it belonged to a nephew…
Was this good luck or bad luck?
"Ying Qin Supreme Deity, don’t dwell on that anymore. Our trip to the Golden Clan Secret Realm has already paid off. Once we return to the Endless Divine Realm, you will understand. That fellow has incredibly strong mechanical abilities; he can help us a lot. To put it directly, when dealing with Bloodshed Shop, he is indispensable—a significant figure," Wei Chen highly praised Golden Mechanism, fully intending to soothe the restless heart of Ying Qin Supreme Deity.
He deeply understood that the Ying Qin Supreme Deity was very dissatisfied with the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, wishing he could just leave and go back.
The Ying Qin Supreme Deity realized what Wei Chen meant; he was already on a sinking ship and could not disembark midway.
"Ferry Operator, speed up. We need to reach Golden City as quickly as possible," Wei Chen ordered the Old Ferryman.
As the Old Ferryman controlled the Rundown Boat to sail faster, he anxiously asked, "My lords, I swear that I will not speak of what I have seen today. I only ask that once we reach Golden City, you spare my life."
Killing to silence witnesses was a basic principle, and the Old Ferryman felt that his life was hanging by a thread.
Wei Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry. When the time comes, I will erase this memory from you. You won't lose anything; in fact, you will be compensated well. We are not the kind of people who kill innocents."
His words were righteous, but when he had decisively killed the Golden Mechanism's maid, Wei Chen's ruthlessness was something else entirely.
Traveling through the night, the Rundown Boat surged forward with all its might, speeding along rapidly.
However, Golden City was still quite far away; even at their fastest pace, it would take at least twenty hours to arrive. But that was much better than the month the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming had anticipated.
On this day, the Rundown Boat drifted into the widest part of the Jinsha River Channel. The distance between the two banks was a full seven or eight miles, and being in that position gave a sense of being in an ocean.
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming was in a good mood and explained with a smile, "This River Channel used to be quite ordinary, nothing special about it. However, after a battle, strong beings caused it to become fragmented, leading to the disappearance of both banks and creating this lake."
The Ying Qin Supreme Deity countered, "Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, isn't this quite simple? Does it really require strong beings to fight? Even a casual First-Level Divine Realm being could easily widen this River Channel."
"No," the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming shook his head and continued, "In the Golden Clan Secret Realm, although there is no suppression of power, everything within it is inherently tough... In other words, everything in the Golden Clan Secret Realm requires immense strength to destroy. For example, you could easily overturn a mountain in the Endless Divine Realm, but you wouldn't be able to do that in the Golden Clan Secret Realm."
"You can try it out; go over there to that mountain and see for yourself," the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming said with a smile.
Ying Qin Supreme Deity felt a sense of disdain and humiliation wash over him. He flew swiftly to the mountaintop, picked up a stone, and squeezed it lightly.
What shocked Ying Qin Supreme Deity was that the stone didn’t budge at all.
Paralyzed? Am I unable to crush even a stone?
After gathering his strength, Ying Qin Supreme Deity squeezed with all his might and finally crushed the poor stone.
Returning to the Rundown Boat, he helplessly shrugged and said, “Alright, you’re right; it is indeed very hard.”
“Ying Qin Supreme Deity, didn’t you notice how much resistance there is when you fly? The air in the Golden Clan Secret Realm is thick with gold elements, creating more resistance than in the Endless Divine Realm—at least ten times more. Basically, everything here is ten times stronger than in the Endless Divine Realm,” explained the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming.
Ying Qin Supreme Deity thought about it and realized it was true. He reined in his temper and said no more.
“This River Channel formed the Great Lake, and people often come here to dive underwater in search of treasures. It’s said that many powerful beings fought here, resulting in numerous casualties, and many precious weapons sank to the bottom,” continued the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming.
Ying Qin Supreme Deity countered, “That’s simple; just scour the bottom of the water, right?”
“No,” replied the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming. “A Sword Master fell here once. He unleashed his strongest sword strike from high above, creating a massive hole beneath this River Channel with an estimated depth of hundreds of feet. It’s rumored that many treasures fell into that deep hole, but no one has been able to dive deep enough to see what’s down there. Some have indeed managed to retrieve a few treasures through continuous attempts, but that divine sword remains at the very bottom of the hole, untouched by anyone.”
After hearing the words of the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, Ying Qin Supreme Deity showed little reaction, but Wei Chen's mind raced as he connected with Killing God Senior.
“Killing God Senior, did you hear what the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming said?”
