Chapter 474 Why Not Leave
The God of War, Tianqi, was deeply shaken and took a step back.

Even the Cold Jade True God was startled. He looked up at Liu Chengfeng. This secret was known to no more than three people.

How did Liu Chengfeng find out?

The God of War, Tianqi, unleashed a chilling light from his eyes, capable of destroying a thousand worlds; it was extremely terrifying.

"Is the God of War going to kill me to silence me?"

Liu Chengfeng sneered, his eyes turning cold.

"Sir, you misunderstand. Your insight is far beyond what we can compare to."

The God of War, Tianqi, bowed deeply, dissipating his imposing aura.

“Since you are not of your kind, you need not worry about my safety. I will not go anywhere.”

Liu Chengfeng is very assertive.

“Sir, you have inherited the way of the Mad Dragon Ancestor and also have the wish of the God Emperor. You have combined the strengths of both families and have a bright future. I do not want you to suffer any mishap.”

The God of War, Tianqi, sighed softly, his words filled with genuine emotion.

"The Martial God truly has discerning eyes."

Liu Chengfeng looked at him and did not deny that he possessed the power of the Mad Dragon.

"I've lived to this age and seen a lot. Although I'm not from the lineage of the Mad Dragon Ancestor, I have some understanding of the Mad Dragon Ancestor's way."

"The Mad Dragon Ancestor once unified the Twelve Heavens and ruled over the Three Thousand Worlds. The Mad Dragon Divine Path once surpassed all other paths. I hope that you, sir, can carry on this legacy and make it even greater."

The God of War, Tianqi, earnestly and sincerely hoped that Liu Chengfeng would be safe.

"Does the Martial God care about me, or about the Mad Dragon's legacy?"

Liu Chengfeng sensed the sincerity of the Martial God Tianqi.

"Everyone is concerned. Without you, Master, how can the Mad Dragon legacy come about? The Mad Dragon Twelve Heavens may be vast, but the legacy has been lost. If this continues, the world will be unworthy of the name 'Mad Dragon'."

The God of War, Tianqi, truly did not want the Mad Dragon's legacy to be lost.

"I appreciate your kindness, sir, but I'm not going anywhere."

Liu Chengfeng refused the Martial God Tianqi's persuasion.

Martial God Tianqi wanted to persuade him further, but Liu Chengfeng raised his hand to stop him.

Helpless, the God of War Tianqi had no choice but to give up.

"Lord Martial God, you are a man of great knowledge. Have you heard of Dragon's Lament?"

As Martial God Tianqi was leaving, Liu Chengfeng asked him a question.

"I've heard of it. Rumor has it that the Dragon's Lament is an ancient forbidden artifact, which His Majesty Yan Xi once used to intimidate the Unruly God and the Golden Ring God."

The God of War, Tianqi, turned around and answered.

"You haven't seen Long Shang either, sir?"

Liu Chengfeng looked at him.

"No, I was leading troops to fight at the Palace of Freedom at the time and was not by His Majesty Yan Xi's side."

The God of War, Tianqi, shook his head.

"Does Your Excellency know that Long Shang was once sealed here?"

Liu Chengfeng pointed towards Shenlongyuan.

“I know, it was bestowed by His Majesty Yanxi.”

The God of War, Tianqi, spoke the truth.

"Now that Long Shang is gone, taken away by someone, can you tell me, sir, where has Long Shang gone?"

Liu Chengfeng was frank and asked directly.

“I understand what you mean, sir. If I were to take the Dragon's Lament, I would be the most likely candidate. But, sir, if I possess the Dragon's Lament, what do I have to fear from the Divine World? I can simply slay it.”

The God of War, Tianqi, stood proudly, his power unmatched.

"That makes sense."

Liu Chengfeng nodded.

"However, I believe that Dragon's Lament is within the Ancestral Tower's domain. Who do you think it is most likely to be in, Lord Martial God?"

Liu Chengfeng spoke frankly and openly.

"It concerns my reputation, so I dare not speak carelessly. Of course, I am also the most suspicious."

The God of War, Tianqi, is open and honest, and is not afraid of others doubting him.

"Indeed, I do have a question: why take the Dragon's Lament and not run away?"

Liu Chengfeng couldn't understand it.

"To be honest, sir, if I took the Dragon's Lament, I would definitely run away. If I stayed here, I would become the target of everyone's hatred."

"Furthermore, sir, what would I gain from taking Long Shang? Would I want to control Yan Xitian? If I had such ambitions, I would have had the opportunity long ago."

"Do you want to unify the Twelve Heavens of Mad Dragon? I'm afraid even if I have Dragon's Lament, I don't have that ability."

The God of War, Tianqi, did not hide anything and told him everything.

Liu Chengfeng nodded. What he said made sense. After Yan Xishen left, he did have the opportunity to take control of the entire Yan Xitian.

However, he remained loyal and never coveted power, always protecting it.

This is what Liu Chengfeng couldn't understand: why would someone who had taken the Dragon's Lament not be satisfied, but instead stay here, easily becoming the target of everyone's criticism!
"I have a question. Lord Martial God is very knowledgeable and should be able to answer it for me."

Liu Chengfeng looked at the Martial God Tianqi.

"Please speak, sir. I will answer all your questions."

The God of War, Tianqi, bowed deeply, without arrogance.

"Both the Celestial God and the Golden Ring Celestial God have the conditions to leave the Twelve Heavens of Mad Dragon, so why are they staying here instead of leaving?"

Liu Chengfeng asked.

"I know a thing or two about this."

The God of War, Tianqi, replied.

Liu Chengfeng perked up; he had asked the right person.

"If I'm not mistaken, the divine way of the gods has malfunctioned, making it impossible for them to leave."

"what is the problem?"

Liu Chengfeng was surprised.

"I don't know the specifics; this is just my speculation based on some rumors."

The God of War, Tianqi, was sincere and told Liu Chengfeng everything he knew.

"Where is the Golden Ring God?"

"The Golden Ring God is probably more complicated. There is a secret rumor that the Golden Ring God wants to return to the Golden Land, but he can't."

The God of War, Tianqi, pondered for a moment.

"Golden Country?"

Liu Chengfeng's eyes narrowed. The world ruled by the Golden Ring God was called the Golden Land.

"This Golden Land is not that Golden Land. Legend has it that it is a place in a certain world or universe, but its specifics are unknown."

The God of War, Tianqi, shook his head.

Liu Chengfeng was surprised. What kind of place was Golden Township that made the Golden Ring God so persistent?

The gods' divine ways are not right; the Golden Ring God wants to return to the Golden Land, but they are employed by the First Court!
Liu Chengfeng thought to himself and guessed what was going on.

"What about Celestial Venerable Botang and Lord Martial God? Can you leave now?"

Liu Chengfeng looked at him.

"If you absolutely must leave, you can."

The God of War, Tianqi, hesitated for a moment before speaking honestly.

"Then why didn't you leave?"

Liu Chengfeng pressed for an answer.

"I don't know why Celestial Venerable Botang didn't leave; perhaps he wasn't absolutely certain yet."

"As for me, just as you said, my divine path is bound by constraints. Even if I ascend to the World Forest, I will find it difficult to achieve anything. It would be better for me to stay in the Celestial Dynasty and faithfully perform my duties." The God of War, Tianqi, sighed, somewhat melancholy.

"What if I told you that removing the divine shackles from your body wouldn't be difficult?"

Liu Chengfeng's eyes narrowed as he stared at him.

"Can you solve this, sir?"

The God of War's Apocalypse caused a profound shock.

"can."

Liu Chengfeng gave a very affirmative answer.

"Please help my master, sir."

The cold and ruthless Cold Jade True God hurriedly bowed deeply.

Liu Chengfeng glanced at the Cold Jade True God in surprise.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Liu Chengfeng shook his head.

"Sir, please remove the divine shackles from my master's body. I am willing to give my life for you."

The Cold Jade True God is cold and ruthless, yet he is willing to die for the Martial God Tianqi.

She was adopted by the God of War Tianqi when she was a child; he gave her her life.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

The God of War, Tianqi, repelled the True God of Cold Jade.

“I will remember your words, sir. Once we get through this crisis, I will definitely seek your advice.”

Martial God Tianqi hesitated for a moment, then bowed deeply to Liu Chengfeng.

He then left with the Cold Jade True God.

“Devotion and steadfastness are the way out.”

As he left, Liu Chengfeng gave Hanyu Zhenshen a piece of advice, which Hanyu Zhenshen was taken aback by and did not understand.

They went outside, and the butcher, gripping the hilt of his knife, stood guard there.

"Could it be that even the God of Breaking Heaven doubts me?!"

Displeased at being watched like this, the God of War, Tianqi, let out a cold snort.

"My lord, I dare not. Your loyalty is as clear as day. However, we are surrounded by dangers at present, so it is best to be cautious."

The butcher bowed deeply, showing respect.

The God of War, Tianqi, remained silent and left with the True God of Cold Jade.

"You have to suspect everyone?"

Seeing the butcher standing there, Liu Chengfeng found it amusing.

"Yes, any of us could take Dragon's Lament."

The butcher didn't hide anything; he told the truth: he suspected everyone—the Azure Dragon Sword God, the Emperor-Chasing True God, the Martial God Apocalypse…

"Now who do you think took it?"

Liu Chengfeng looked at him.

The butcher wanted to speak, but he kept quiet; he was very tight-lipped.

"You believe it's either the True God of Chasing Emperors or the God of War, Apocalypse."

Liu Chengfeng smiled, knowing what he was thinking.

"If you insist that I say so, then it is all possible."

The butcher hesitated for a moment; he was getting anxious just thinking about it alone.

Who is more likely?

Liu Chengfeng asked.

"Half and half."

The butcher lacked confidence.

"Expand and tell me."

Liu Chengfeng was curious about his opinion.

"The one who is most qualified is Lord Martial God. He has been loyal to Yanxi God since he was born, and he is the most likely person to be proficient in the seals of Yanxi God."

"Over the long years, he was the one with the best chance of collecting the essence of the Mad Dragon lineage and using it to break the seal on the Dragon Abyss."

The butcher doesn't easily speak ill of others.

"You think it's impossible for him?"

Liu Chengfeng smiled.

"The Martial God has no reason. What does he want the Dragon's Lament for? Taking out the Dragon's Lament would harm the Celestial Dynasty. He has always been loyal to the Celestial Dynasty without a doubt."

On this point, the Butcher still believed in the God of War, Apocalypse.

"Where is the True God of Chasing the Emperor?"

Liu Chengfeng asked.

"In terms of conditions, the True God of Chasing Emperors does not possess them. However, the Path of the God Emperor is beyond our comprehension. If the True God of Chasing Emperors grasps the mysteries of the Path of the God Emperors, he can also break the seal."

The butcher said cautiously.

Liu Chengfeng glanced at him but didn't say anything. Even he, the God Emperor who founded the Path of Sovereign Godhood, hadn't fully grasped its mysteries yet, let alone others.

"What's the point of chasing after the True God Emperor and capturing Dragon's Lament?"

Liu Chengfeng asked a question in return.

Whether the butcher wants to say something or not, it's a matter of assuming the worst about others.

"The Liu family is very large."

Finally, he muttered something under his breath.

The implication was crystal clear: the Liu family was very powerful, and if the True God of Chasing Emperors obtained the Dragon's Lament, he might be able to control the Heavenly Dynasty and rule over Yanxi Heaven.

Liu Chengfeng neither agreed nor disagreed.

"Sir, what should we do?"

The butcher was at a loss. He wasn't sure who had taken the Dragon's Lament, so he couldn't act recklessly. He only had one chance.

"What's meant to come will come, no rush."

Liu Chengfeng didn't care; how much trouble could he possibly cause in his world?

Even if a huge storm is stirred up, it can still be calmed down.

The butcher sighed softly, knowing he could only rely on himself, bowed, and left.

"I feel like I've seen Lord Martial God somewhere before."

After everyone left, Deng Jinchang was puzzled and told Liu Chengfeng.

"The Martial God is a guardian of the Celestial Empire. Father has met him. Isn't that normal?"

Deng Xuanyue stood behind and said in a low voice.

Deng Jinchang thought it made sense, but upon closer examination, he felt it wasn't right.

"When the Martial God revived the Yanxi Heavenly Dynasty, my father was not even born yet. After I was born, the Martial God had already retired to the Martial God Academy and rarely entered Tianzhou."

After thinking about it carefully, Deng Jinchang realized that he had indeed never met the God of War, Tianqi.

But I always felt like I'd seen it somewhere before, a strange sense of familiarity.

"Perhaps, the person you met was not him."

Liu Chengfeng smiled faintly, a cold glint flashing deep in his eyes.

"Who is that?"

Deng Changjin was confused, but the God of War Tianqi did give him a strange sense of familiarity, as if he were an elder.

Liu Chengfeng didn't say anything, but just smiled mysteriously and told Deng Jinchang and the others to leave.
