Chapter 229 - 181: The Fall of the Divine Tomb, All Things Come to Life (Part Two) (First Update)_2
However, some were relieved, mainly the elderly who had stepped into the Inscription Mirror, earning themselves the status of dignitaries.
During their primes, they were all unmatched figures, enjoying countless attention and admiration.
These people, now old like the setting sun, were from a different generation than anomalies like Shi Hao and Stone Toughness, and thus felt the least tension and pressure.
The most helpless were those teens around the same age as Shi Hao and Stone Toughness. Some were even a little bit older, who worked tirelessly for many years. All their hard work seemed futile when they found themselves without the qualifications to compete against these figures.
This stark contrast incited sadness and sighs among their contemporaries.
The most boisterous, however, was near North Mountain where the crowd was incredibly dense and appeared as vast as the ocean from afar.
Unlike other places, the crowd at North Mountain was in high spirits.
They all had one thing in common: they had all made bets under Tu Wa Zi, betting on who would win the upcoming duel between Shi Hao and Stone Toughness.
But none had expected that instead of the awaited result, they were confronted with the appearance of the Region Envoys, charged with maintaining stability in this world, interrupting the duel between Shi Hao and Stone Toughness.
Without an outcome, wouldn’t their Pure Wall wagers go down the drain?
Naturally, they wouldn’t stand for it. They believed it to be a blatant attempt to seize their Pure Walls. An outcome had to be decided regardless of the result or their Pure Walls should be returned as they were.
With the idea of strength in numbers, it didn’t take long before tens of thousands of people gathered to surround Lin Zhuang and Tu Wa Zi.
With their backs against the wall, they became aggressive – even a rabbit will bite when cornered!
Though they revered the reputation of Liu Village, they still found courage in their crowds.
Bird Grandpa and Boss Jing Bi were also amongst the crowd, their eyes darting about, occasionally looking in a certain direction. These two embodied the saying “fish in troubled waters.”
They too had placed bets. However, these two were cunning fellows who had bet on both sides to ensure they wouldn’t lose. But now, with no result and all their Pure Walls handed in, they were annoyed.
“We placed our bets before, but they’re not fighting anymore. What about our Pure Walls?” Boss Jing Bi spoke up, hiding in the crowd and deliberately disguising his voice.
“What’s the rush? There isn’t a winner yet. We are from Liu Village, we are always trustworthy!” Tu Wa Zi argued passionately, saliva flying. He didn’t recognize that it was Boss Jing Bi’s voice.
“So you mean the betting is still valid?” A member of a distinguished family asked, eager to know.
He betted all his Pure Walls he had on Stone Toughness.
Although he wouldn’t win much if he won, the man thought it was a safe bet.
Many shared his view, as many bettors came because of Liu Village’s reputation.
“Of course, the duel between Shi Hao and Stone Toughness will continue in a month, and our betting is still valid.” Towa Zi stated confidently, also assuring everyone.
He thought the same.
When he set up the bets, he had set a condition that everyone must pay a fee of 10 Pure Walls to participate. So, regardless of the final result, he would make a fortune. He had no wish to tarnish Liu Village’s reputation for a scam.
“But we can’t enter the Sky Battlefield?” Some people were doubtful and suddenly realized.
The Sky Battlefield was a divine stage. Only those at their limits could enter, and they were not qualified enough.
“You can just wait for the news. Once the result of the match comes out, it would definitely spread across the Wilderness instantly. No one could fake it.
At that time, I will appear at the Land of Origin, and you can come and exchange with your voucher!” Tu Wa Zi immediately responded.
With their doubts cleared, the crowd finally dispersed.
Lin Zhuang, Tu Wa Zi, and others exited from the Void God Realm.
As soon as their souls returned to their bodies, they immediately went to Jiang Hui.
They all wanted to set foot in the Ancient Battlefield, not only to witness the duel between Shi Hao and Stone Toughness but also to experience the legendary battlefield personally, and hence, they sought advice from Jiang Hui.
“Supreme Bones are supremely born, and double-pupil inherit the qualities of gods. Both are the pinnacle representations of their generation. Their duel is momentous.
The Sky Battlefield also embodies the hard work of many powerhouses. You guys can naturally observe and may even comprehend certain insights from it!”
Jiang Hui spoke, his words resonating like a booming thunder through the ruins, echoing endlessly in Lin Zhuang’s mind.
The duel between Shi Hao and Stone Toughness represented the supreme confrontation of their generation, and Tu Wa Zi’s followers should observe it.
At the same time, Jiang Hui also wanted to witness it in person.
After all, whether it was Shi Hao or Stone Toughness, both were the strongest among their generation. Once they grow up, they would be powerful enough to dominate for countless years..
