Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity - Chapter 392:
Chapter 392: Chapter 300: He is God (First Update)_1
Despite being rejected once, Tu Wa Zi still planned to persevere. The figure from his dreams still occupied his thoughts.
Joy, laughter, the sound of her voice, they all seemed so near, as if he could see them just by looking up, but they slipped away when he reached for them.
That was typical of his character. Some people wouldn’t turn back until they hit a wall, but he wouldn’t turn back easily even after hitting the wall – conquering it was the only thing that gave him a sense of accomplishment.
Unless he genuinely felt there was absolutely no hope left, as long as there was a glimmer, he would never easily give up.
Besides, Lord Willow God had more than once taught them: being dumped once was not shameful, what was shameful was not having the courage to shamelessly keep on persisting, to strive to set a record.
It was this teaching that kept motivating Tu Wa Zi, encouraging him from the depths of his heart.
Luckily, Jiang Hui couldn’t hear the boy’s inner voice. If he could, he would definitely reach for a willow branch to smack his backside, leaving it blossoming, and let him know why the flowers were so red, then ask him when did he ever say such fawning words?
That day, the weather was just right, the sky was clear and blue like a mirror. The gentle breeze came and went, swept away and then gathered, like the determined lover embarking without any hesitation on the path of persistence.
Once the idea was set, Tu Wa Zi put it into action right away.
Climbing up the stone steps and descending down the stone ladder, following the Ascend Heaven Ladder at the back of the village, Tu Wa Zi marched hurriedly towards the Lower Realm, his pace rapid, with a kind of homing instinct.
Jiang Hui was, of course, the first to notice Tu Wa Zi’s actions, but he chose not to obstruct him.
The Ascend Heaven Ladder was a path established for Liu Village to connect the Upper and Lower Realms, and so village residents were free to use it. Jiang Huai would not overly interfere in such small matters.
Furthermore, he didn’t feel it was his place to interfere in such personal matters.
Young men have their own tenacity. Although it sometimes seems naively overenthusiastic, it’s this quality that pushes them to keep going, never backing down regardless of the obstacles and dangers they might face.
Especially when it came to affairs of the heart, he could hardly claim to know more than a white paper, and might even be less knowledgeable than Tu Wa Zi.
At least Tu Wa Zi dared to act, bravely pursuing the girl he liked without hesitation.
Watching the teen’s relentless figure, Jiang Hui couldn’t help but privately wish him luck in fulfilling this dream.
Truthfully, the War Goddess’ temperament might indeed suit Tu Wa Zi’s well.
He was free-spirited with strong principles and persistence. Even though he could be a bit chatterbox sometimes, he possessed tremendous goodness and integrity, always placing relationships above all else, epitomizing an honorable young man.
Jiang Hui had watched Tu Wa Zi grow up from a babbling toddler to a grown man who could stand tall. As a fellow believer, he had a better understanding of Tu Wa Zi’s character than anyone, and he was confident that Tu Wa Zi was a man worthy of lifelong trust.
As for the War Goddess, she was calm, knowledgeable, magnanimous, and more importantly, she was meticulous and sincere at heart.
If the two were to be together, their personalities would complement each other well and it could surely manifest into a fine relationship.
However, everything depended on whether the girl was interested in Tu Wa Zi.
Love is unlike other things. Like the saying goes, “beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder”. If they hit it off, even an otherwise unlikely couple could fall in love.
But if they don’t hit it off, even a seemingly perfect couple would likely miss each other, leading to a clichéd melodramatic love story.
Situations like these were too unique and there was no way he could intervene. After all, a forced fruit never tastes sweet. If the girl firmly did not like Tu Wa Zi, even intervening would be in vain.
…
…
Tu Wa Zi, of course, had no idea that Lord Willow God was watching his every move at this moment.
At this moment, he was crossing the seemingly endless and winding stone steps that stretched out like a dragon.
The steps were extensive, truly endless. No matter how far he strained his eyes, he could not see the end.
Although there is no need to worry about the danger of turbulent emptiness being erased or the rules of the higher and lower realms being obliterated on this Ascend Heaven Ladder, it is undoubtedly a strenuous physical task.
In this regard, Tu Wa Zi never showed any modesty.
After about half a moment,
A vast and desolate gorge appeared before Tu Wa Zi, as deep and bottomless as an abyss, shrouded in darkness.
This was originally the old site of Liu Village, but after Jiang Hui moved the entire Liu Village to the Upper Realm, it had become like this.
However, by observing the surrounding mountain trends, one could still spot traces of the past.
The years in the Lower Realm were also Tu Wa Zi’s happiest and most unforgettable memories. The Upper Realm too, but the former recorded some moments from his childhood, which were the most innocent, splendid, and unblemished years. Those were the years when a young child’s imagination was the richest.
He could still remember, lying with his friends in the soft grass, dreaming about the future, cherishing his loved ones, and continuously striving for progress.
Now, unknowingly, he was growing up quickly.
Fortunately, those childhood friends were still around, his parents were healthy and strong, and some of the big words he had said had already been realized. As for the unrealized ones, he was already on his way.
Life should be this perfect.
At least that’s how Tu Wa Zi saw it in his heart.
After a great deal of effort, the young boy finally climbed up from the abyss.
Even he fell into a deep sleep immediately from exhaustion.
After a brief rest, Tu Wa Zi evaluated the direction, then sprinted towards a certain place.
Soon, a distinctive building appeared before Tu Wa Zi’s eyes. From a distance, it seemed like two swords clashing together, symbolizing the word ‘Deer’ in the name Deer Academy.
The world chases the deer, an era of great talents emerging.
In front of the huge academy gate, people still come and went bustlingly. It was even more lively than the last time Tu Wa Zi visited.
After the downfall of Heaven Mending Pavilion and the complete disappearance of Liu Village from the Lower Realm, Deer Academy has become one of the actually strongest forces in the Wilderness, monopolizing one side, and both its disciples and occupied territory have largely expanded and strengthened.
Looking from afar, the area at the gate of the academy was crowded and noisy.
The appearance of Tu Wa Zi quickly drew the attention of the disciples guarding the front gate of Heaven Mending Pavilion.
They were about to shout out, but the next moment they were shocked as if they had seen the most unbelievable sight.
“Noble… this is a Noble, a teen Noble!!!” Someone exclaimed, feeling the terrifying aura emanating from Tu Wa Zi, and even started to stutter in speech.
“He is not a noble… he is a God, a supreme God, everyone step aside!”
At the back of the gate, following a slightly hoarse voice, an old man slowly emerged.
He was an elder over fifty, dressed in a military uniform with a sword, long white beard fluttering across his chest, four scars crossing over his square face, appearing quite fierce and ferocious.
As the elder stepped out, the faces of Deer Academy disciples guarding the mountain instantly turned extremely respectful, and so did the beings who wanted to join the academy.
The elder had a high status, he was the third elder of Deer Academy, held an important position, even the dean of the academy was his junior, he was also among the top three strongest beings in the academy.
What shocked everyone more was what the old man had said.
God!!
This seemingly teenage boy, with a somewhat naive face…was actually…a God?
