Chapter 1479

After a while…

The throne was in disarray.

Xiao Feng lay half-reclined, the silver-haired, golden-eyed queen slumped beside him, cleaning up the scene.

"Little Mi, I feel being king is dangerous for you, with countless eyes watching your position; would you consider changing your identity?"

Xiao Feng finished today's queen training and began to speak seriously.

"Hmm… what identity?" Mi asked hesitantly.

Xiao Feng replied: "Any identity will do; mainly to relieve the burden of being king, reduce trivial entanglements, gain more time for cultivation, and avoid the fate of the Dragon Blood King or the Ocean King."

Speaking of which, the Ocean King once forcibly borrowed the War God Kingdom's chief divine artifact, the War God's Holy Sword, and never returned it; but now Mi already possesses a full set of chief divine artifacts, so he couldn't be bothered to hold a grudge.

She replied upon hearing this: "Our War God Kingdom doesn't have that many enemies, and the War Heart isn't subject to being restrained, so you needn't worry, Master."

Xiao Feng shook his head: "That's just your perception. Before I slew Akarnosh, he surely never imagined a dragon named Ruulga would crawl out of a grave, using his residual blood and flesh essence to forge a dragon-slaying power that suppresses the Dragon Blood Heart."

Mi fell silent for a moment.

After a short while he asked: "Master, do you want me to resign immediately?"

Xiao Feng nodded: "I don't want you to meet with any mishap; you can go to the Azure Moon Grotto Heaven to cultivate. I'll often be in the Myriad Heavens Battlefield and can frequently come to play with you. There, wholehearted cultivation will boost your strength faster, and if you someday find your ancestors' enemies, you'll have the power to take revenge."

After listening, Mi thought, then nodded: "Okay, I'll follow your lead, Master… but if I lose the king's title, my faith points will drop a lot."

Faith points also aid growth, and for NPCs they are even more important than for players.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng's heart stirred.

He couldn't help wondering whether he could incorporate the NPC chief deity into his Origin Divine Hall.

Opening the management interface of the Origin Divine Hall, he tried to add Mi as his "Left Assistant God."

But it failed.

Player halls can only add other players as subordinate deities; Mi himself already enjoys many halls and is an NPC, so naturally he cannot be selected.

Xiao Feng also thought of the few wild beast underlings in the Azure Moon Grotto Heaven and said: "Xiao San and Xiao Hu also have some faith points; once we go to the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, I'll have them all devote their faith to you. Having chief-deity-level followers will increase faith growth greatly, and adding some divine beings should make up for the shortfall."

Mi immediately said: "Alright, Master has arranged everything; then I'll immediately summon the ministers and abdicate!"

"Don't rush, don't rush; I haven't decided yet who will succeed you." Xiao Feng stroked her head and said with a smile.

Although the War God Kingdom's power is relatively small, it is still a divine kingdom and must be entrusted to someone trustworthy to manage.

Moreover, the Storm God Kingdom later will likely be handed over to him after Han Que abdicates.

Therefore he needs two people to serve as king.

Xiao Feng thought and felt that Old Zhang and Old Li would be fine, or Shen Di plus Zhu Long would also work.

The first two are trustworthy good brothers of his; the latter two are veteran chairmen with strong leadership abilities.

Actually, it's a bit hard to choose.

"Oh..."

Seeing him ponder, Mi got up, picked up the crown that had fallen to the ground, placed it back on her head, then snatched up her regal robes and casually wrapped them around herself.

The days of being king were ending; soon she would lose this noble status.

To fulfill her duty as a good servant, she could only use the little time left to play her noble part well.

Then she would show it to Xiao Feng.

Thinking thus, she climbed onto the throne, found a comfortable posture, and sat down firmly.

……

A few hours later, a system announcement echoed throughout the region.

【Divine Realm Announcement: Times change, affairs are unpredictable. The War God Kingdom's king "Mi" suddenly felt exhausted after 998 days on the throne, decided to abdicate in favor of a worthy successor, and passed the throne to the senior minister "Shen Di". Henceforth "Shen Di" ascends as the twelfth king of the War God Kingdom, hereby announced to all!】

Xiao Feng consulted Old Zhang and Old Li; both felt they weren't suited to be king, so they declined this favor.

Shen Di also hesitated a bit, but ultimately accepted.

With a king's title, he could mobilize some NPC troops, making future tasks more convenient.

After Mi relinquished the king's position, he no longer needed to join territory wars nor stay constantly in the War God Kingdom.

Xiao Feng directly brought along the changed War God's attire; armor concealed her pretty face, and beneath the battle skirt half a thigh was revealed—the female War God—heading to the Storm God Kingdom.

The two teleported to Storm Capital; as they stepped out of the Teleportation Array, a squad of NPC city guards saw them and their legs trembled in fear.

"Two, two kings!"

"No, they are two former kings!"

Their combination was too terrifying, frightening the little soldiers into panicking and running back to report.

However, there was no need for them to report; the two's speed was actually faster.

Xiao Feng and Mi flew side by side and entered the palace directly.

"Han Brother, are you still here?" Xiao Feng laughed loudly as he asked.

From the garden behind the palace came a reply: "I'm here; where else could I go?" The tone was somewhat helpless.

Han Que still didn't know he might at any moment leave this world and return to his homeland, so his mood each day was rather gloomy.

Especially lately, the territory wars have been frequent beatings; being beaten left him without temper, making him even more depressed.

The two flew toward the garden, with no NPC coming to block them.

Seeing Xiao Feng still accompanied by the female War God, Han Que couldn't help but wonder: "So you're actually that close with the War God King?"

"I am no longer king." Mi spoke up.

In front of outsiders, she always remained cold and aloof, keeping her words as brief as possible.

"We are very good friends." Xiao Feng explained in a sentence.

Then he said to Han Que: "Han Brother, I recently made a trip to the Kyushu Immortal Realm; guess who I met?"

"Kyushu Immortal Realm?" Upon hearing those two words, Han Que's eyelids twitched.

But upon hearing it was the "Immortal Realm" rather than the "world", he felt disappointed again, and said nonchalantly: "It's just some true immortals and golden immortals of the myriad heavens, what surprise could there be?"

Xiao Feng laughed and said: "You're underestimating me too much; what I encountered was a Venerable."

"Venerable?"

Han Que was astonished, Xiao Mi also very surprised, not expecting that he had already come into contact with a Venerable-level expert.

That's not even the most impressive.

Xiao Feng adopted an aloof attitude and lightly said: "This Venerable still has a master!"

"The Venerable's master? That must be a Dao Ancestor!"

Both Chief Gods were dumbfounded.

Immediately afterward, Han Que showed an expression of ecstatic joy.

"Dao Ancestor! Dao Ancestor! Dao Ancestors are the supreme beings that exist in the real world—have you seen them? Have you seen that Dao Ancestor?"

He knew that a Dao Ancestor could allow him to return to his hometown; if Xiao Feng had made contact with such a person, they should be able to help him!

Xiao Feng kept them in suspense, smiling mysteriously, and said: "You guess."
