The Trinity simultaneously traverses the Perfect Sacred Ruins of Shrouding the Heavens.

Despite Lu Sheng's sweet words, Liu Shen remained unmoved, her willow branches swaying gently in the peaceful flow of time.

So Lu Sheng decided to take action. He mobilized the village kids and used three hatched baby azure-scaled eagles as hostages, gesturing and telling the adult azure-scaled eagles to steal the dung of powerful ferocious beasts.

At first, the Azure-Scaled Eagle refused, but when Lu Sheng pointed to the Willow God and gestured that it was a sacrifice to it, the eagle immediately gave in.

Everything for the children!

The three little green-scaled eagles are named Dapeng Xiaoqing and Ziyun. Ziyun is the egg whose bloodline was restored by the Willow God. Its color is purple, shining like clouds, hence the name.

In fact, according to Lu Sheng's idea, it should be called Big Bird, Second Bird, and Third Bird, which is simple and easy to understand, and new birds can be introduced in the same way. However, the villagers rejected this idea.

As expected of a reverted demonic bird, Ziyun's body contained special runes on its precious bones, which captivated little Shi Hao as he studied them.

Lu Sheng directly followed along and learned from the secondhand seller; this skill is a talent that can't be envied.

The old clan chief, despite his advanced age, only learned the basics.

Shi Hao quickly figured out how to use the treasure bone runes inside Zi Yun's body.

It is a kind of innate supernatural power. When used for the first time, it can condense a bright moon, which is extremely sharp and can cut through hard boulders.

This is the most basic cultivation path of the Great Wilderness Human Race: learning the runic power within the bodies of wild creatures and integrating it into oneself.

It has a special name: the Primal Symbol.

According to Shi Hao, a tree and a palace will appear on the Silver Moon in the future, indicating an extraordinary future.

The old chieftain warned him not to reveal it easily, as this thing could make an entire tribe crave it.

Lu Shengka exploited a bug, synchronized with Bodhi's enlightenment state, and quickly mastered it as well.

What he regretted was that he couldn't bring the Bodhi Seed from the era of "Covering the Sky," otherwise Shi Hao would have been able to comprehend even more.

Several months passed, and as the birds grew, Lu Sheng's fertilizer was collected and composted.

He was going to perform a grand sacrifice, like the willow tree in Stone Village, which was called a spirit sacrifice in the Great Wilderness.

Only with the presence of sacrificial spirits can humans live peacefully here.

The previous spirit of Shicun was a stone, but it slunk away after the Willow God descended decades ago.

In the past, animal sacrifices were often required for spirit worship, but the willow tree has never eaten the offerings for decades, which is why the villagers love it so much.

Lu Sheng thought this wouldn't do; if others found out, they would think the people of Shi Village were stingy.

A sacrifice, a fierce sacrifice, a dung sacrifice for whom? The willow tree once ascended to godhood...

But before Lu Sheng could even begin the ritual, the nearby wolf village started causing trouble.

Humans live in groups in the Great Wilderness. Two villages are dozens of miles apart. Although they don't interact much on a daily basis, as fellow humans, they usually give each other some face.

Both villages also have designated hunting areas.

But recently, the neighboring wolf village has gone mad, wildly crossing the border to hunt and often stealing their prey, resulting in injuries to some people from Stone Village.

Can this be tolerated?

"Bring a few kids, take my Dragon Gallant Silver Spear and eight short spears, and show them what real power is!"

Lu Sheng, who was not very old himself, called out to the children of Shicun Village, saying that ironware was scarce and of poor quality in the Great Wilderness.

He had eight short spears for long-range throwing and a large spear for close combat.

You've disturbed his dung ritual, haven't you? We need to teach you a lesson.

In a village that doesn't even have a Blood Transformation Realm expert, he's a top-tier Awakening Realm master who can just go around killing people.

(Parentheses: This applies if the opponent does not use a Sacrifice Spirit Treasure.)

Don't act impulsively.

An old man appeared and stopped Lu Sheng, saying earnestly, "Our Stone Village and the Wolf Village have been at peace for many years. Their current madness must mean something has happened. Let's wait and see."

"As long as it's not excessive, it's best not to go on a shopping spree. Life in these mountains isn't easy."

Internal strife among humans will only increase casualties, and the elders do not want to see that happen until a certain point.

Most of the clan elders shared this opinion, and seeing this, Lu Sheng didn't insist, nodding and saying:

"Once is acceptable, twice is acceptable, but a third time is not. They crossed the line, that's the first offense; they injured someone, that's the second. If there's a third time, we will show no mercy!"

With a whoosh, he threw an iron spear outside the village, and a boulder shattered instantly.

The villagers cheered, for this generation of young people in their Stone Village had undergone a baptism of blood, producing many geniuses who would surely lead them to glory in the future.

Three-and-a-half-year-old Shi Hao is already quite impressive, wielding a spear with great skill; his future looks promising.

After waving for a while, Shi Hao got tired and lay down on the millstone, blinking his small eyes longingly:

"Brother Lu Sheng, tell me another story."

"Okay, but the following content is chargeable, consider it on credit, remember to pay later." Lu Sheng chuckled and said without hesitation:

"It is said that Zhao Zilong of Shijiazhuang, wielding his Dragon Gallant Silver Spear, carved through ten mountains in one go!"

The children swarmed around Lu Sheng as soon as he started telling stories.

Even the grown men couldn't help but gather around; they were just too bored.

Eating, practicing martial arts, hunting, sleeping, disciplining children—entertainment was almost nonexistent.

I worry about what to eat on ordinary days, and when I'm hungry, all I can think about is getting enough to eat.

But I'm full today.

More and more people gathered around, and men, women, and children on the edge couldn't help but whisper and discuss, "Shijiazhuang? You mean our Shicun village? Is there anyone named Zhao Zilong?"

"Idiot!" one of them slapped the back of the head of the person who had spoken first, and then said:

"Don't you understand fictional characters? I've never seen an ancient demonic bird, but I've seen the offspring of ancient demonic birds, and I can imagine what those ancient demonic birds looked like and how majestic they were."

"Look at that Azure-Scaled Eagle! I dare say the ancient demonic bird is at least ten times bigger than it!"

The man seemed to be deep in thought, then immediately said, "I've decided, I'll change my name to Shi Zilong!"

"Go away, go away! What are you doing changing your name at your age? My son was just born, and I've decided, my son will be named Zilong!"

"I'm only twenty-three!"

The people in Shicun started fighting over a few names.

The most popular one is Zhao Zilong from Shijiazhuang, who came from Shicun.

Besides, Shi Xuande, Shi Mengde, and Shi Yide have been reserved by a family that has given birth to triplets.

It's finally easier to name the new babies in the village.

During this period, wild beasts in the mountains have been moving around, and there are many more prey around Stone Village, so people can eat their fill every day.

Listening to Lu Sheng's stories, the children of Shicun felt happier than ever before.

The old patriarch's eyes were full of satisfaction. He respectfully bowed to the Willow God. Since the Willow God descended, Stone Village has become better day by day.

Only a few people in the village witnessed the arrival of the Willow God.

Even though the Willow God's tree trunk is now charred black, with only a single green willow branch remaining, its incredible origins mean that even a small blessing from it would be enough for the men, women, and children of Stone Village to enjoy endlessly.

The old patriarch looked at Lu Sheng, then at little Shi Hao. These are all good children.

In the future, their Stone Village may also produce an unparalleled genius who will amaze the entire region!
