773 Hero Invitations, Those Fated with Connate Divine Weapons (2)
“Alright, then tell me. Who are you going to give these hero invitations to?” Shi Changsheng said. “I’ll say this in advance. I’m not going to the grotto-heavens. If I go in, there will be unexpected consequences.”
“The grotto-heavens have already appeared. There’s no need for you to enter, Old Shi. They will come out themselves,” Zhou Shu said. “As for who to give them to, it’s up to you.”
“Up to me?” Shi Changsheng frowned.
“Old Shi, just give the hero invitations to whoever you like.” Zhou Shu smiled. “Of course, it has to be people you think have potential, Old Shi. It’s best if they’re martial artists who can play large roles in resisting demonic beasts.”
!!
“What are you trying to do?” Shi Changsheng asked curiously.
“Me?” Zhou Shu smiled. “I want to give them connate divine weapons!
“Since humans and demonic beasts are irreconcilable enemies, a war is inevitable. I naturally have to help the humans increase their chips.
“If everyone wants to fight demonic beasts to the death, I can’t do anything else, but I can arm them so that they have more chances of winning and surviving when facing demonic beasts.”
Zhou Shu spoke righteously.
Shi Changsheng looked at Zhou Shu suspiciously. Based on his understanding of Zhou Shu, he shouldn’t be the kind of person who placed his country first. He might help the human race fight demonic beasts, but he probably didn’t have the ideology of sacrificing himself to help the human race.
He felt a little strange, but he couldn’t figure out what was wrong.
“How many hero invitations are you going to distribute?” Shi Changsheng probed.
“The more, the better,” Zhou Shu said.
“Do you have so many connate divine weapons?” Shi Changsheng asked.
“Old Shi, what do you think I’m doing now?” Zhou Shu asked. “Aren’t I forging divine weapons day and night to improve the strength of the human race before the war?”
Shi Changsheng couldn’t help rolling his eyes. Kid, are you addicted to pretending?
Others might not know you, but how can I not know?
You won’t even get up early without benefits.
How could you be so concerned without benefits?
Originally, Shi Changsheng had no choice but to agree to help Zhou Shu. Now, he was a little curious about what Zhou Shu wanted to do. Even if Zhou Shu asked him not to help now, he wouldn’t agree.
“I understand what you mean. You want me to help you deliver the hero invitations. As for who to give them to, I’ll choose. You’re so ambitious. Do you want me to help you pick out all the talents in the world?”
“Old Shi, you are wise,” Zhou Shu said with a smile.
This was indeed his intention. Although it was better to have as many workers as possible, Zhou Shu’s ability alone was limited. It was impossible for him to forge an unlimited number of connate divine weapons, so he naturally had to choose the workers.
The war between the Demon Realm and the human race was imminent. Zhou Shu was too busy to choose workers while forging divine weapons.
This was why he came up with this idea.
Previously, he was still thinking about how to convince Shi Changsheng. In the end, someone gave him a pillow when he was sleepy. Shi Changsheng actually came knocking on his door.
Shi Changsheng was an old fellow who had lived for countless years. Other things aside, Zhou Shu was confident in Shi Changsheng’s judgment.
Although he didn’t dare to say that Shi Changsheng would be able to pick the right talents flawlessly, it definitely wouldn’t be too far off.
When the time came, he would definitely be able to choose suitable workers.
“You’re really lucky, young fellow,” Shi Changsheng said angrily. “I’m really working for you cheap this time.
“Let me ask you. Will the people who receive the hero invitations each have a connate divine weapon, or do they have to go through screening?”
He hit the nail on the head.
“Of course not all of them will get a connate divine weapon.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “Although I don’t lack forging materials now, even if I die of exhaustion, it’s impossible for me to forge so many connate divine weapons.
“How about this? The hero invitations will say that I will distribute connate divine weapons to those fated at the Treasure-Distribution Rock.”
“Treasure-Distribution Rock?” Shi Changsheng was puzzled. “What is that place? Why have I never heard of it?”
I’d be d.a.m.ned if you’ve heard of it, Zhou Shu thought. He had just casually come up with this name.
“The Treasure-Distribution Rock is on the coast of the Endless Sea…” Zhou Shu said casually.
“Old Shi, do you have any other questions?”
“No,” Shi Changsheng said. “I’ll help you settle this matter, so you have to help me get the Divine Stones. When the time comes, don’t go back on your word.”
“Don’t worry, Old Shi. This isn’t the first day you’ve known me. Am I the kind of person to go back on my word?” Zhou Shu said.
“Yes!” Shi Changsheng curled his lips.
Zhou Shu’s face darkened.
Shi Changsheng continued, “You’d better remember that it’s not that easy to take advantage of me!”
The corners of Zhou Shu’s mouth curled up slightly. Trying to threaten me? The last thing I’m afraid of is threats.
When he was free and in a good mood, he didn’t mind s.n.a.t.c.hing the Divine Stones. But how he would split them after s.n.a.t.c.hing them would be up to him.
Zhou Shu called Bai Qianqian and even promised to teach her a few forging techniques. Only then did she reluctantly open a gap in the Demon Realm Ancestral Court and release the Longevity Sword.
After the Longevity Sword left, Zhou Shu realized that Shi Changsheng had said that he couldn’t go to the grotto-heavens. Something unpredictable would happen.
But wasn’t the Demon Realm Ancestral Court also a grotto-heaven? Nothing major had happened since he entered.
This old fellow must be spouting nonsense again. He doesn’t want to go!
Okay, it doesn’t matter. The invasion of the Demon Realm army is imminent. As long as the people of the grotto-heavens are preparing to join the war, there’s a high chance that they will come out to make preparations. Shi Changsheng doesn’t need to find many people. A couple hundred is more than enough.
Zhou Shu estimated that when the time came, he should be able to forge 20 to 30 connate divine weapons. He would choose 20 to 30 workers from the couple hundred people. The quality of the workers should be guaranteed.
…
Outside the Demon Realm Ancestral Court, on the Ten Nations Continent…
Yin Wuyou was walking in the wilderness with her sword.
...
She had been walking for many days. From the gap between the barrier of the two worlds to the capital of Great Xia, she had almost measured it with her feet several times.
Zhou Shu and Xiaoyu’er, two people who were extremely important to her, were both missing. She clearly knew that it was impossible to find them, but she couldn’t stay in the capital for a moment longer. If she stayed, she would really go crazy.
She had to come out and search for them. Even though she knew it was like looking for a needle in a haystack, she had to continue searching!
Swoosh!
Suddenly, Yin Wuyou felt a gust of wind blow past her, and she put her guard up. “Who is it?!”
Just as her aura rose, she heard sizzling sounds in the air as golden words appeared out of thin air.
“On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, in the Endless Sea, the Treasure-Distribution Rock will bestow peerless divine weapons to those fated. I hereby invite all the heroes of the world to attend!”
The golden words lasted for a few breaths in the air before an invitation card made of gold foil descended from the sky and landed in front of her.
She instinctively caught it and felt a gust of wind. The warning signs in her heart had disappeared.
Yin Wuyou frowned slightly. The person who sent the invitation left?
She looked down at the invitation card that she had just grabbed in her hand. On the invitation card, there were two words written in bold calligraphy: Hero Invitation!
...
A strange look flashed across her eyes, and then two shallow dimples appeared on her pretty face.
I knew it. I knew you’d be fine. Yin Wuyou looked aggrieved. Since you’re fine, why didn’t you come find me? I’m angry. I’ve decided that when I see you, I’ll ignore you for three days… three hours!
Swish—
The Longevity Sword shuttled through s.p.a.ce, faintly discernible. With his ability, not to mention first-rank martial artists, even Earth Immortals couldn’t easily discover his traces.
He gave the first hero invitation to Yin Wuyou because he was up to mischief. Since Zhou Shu wanted to give connate divine weapons to those fated, then did his woman count as someone fated? If she did, he wanted to see if Zhou Shu would be willing to let his woman go to the battlefield.
Kid, you make it sound so righteous. What improve the strength of the human race? I want to see what you’re really up to, Shi Changsheng thought proudly.
