As Ying and Yang bid farewell to their families in tears, G.o.d of Spring arrived at a dark cave somewhere in the Realms. The sound of water dripping could be heard as he walked into the darkness. He ignited a mucky torch, which lightened up the damp walls.Soon he reached an open s.p.a.ce, with a small waterfall beside a small pond. Around the water source, thick vegetation existed. Even a few small trees could be seen.
Suddenly a powerful force was sent out towards the G.o.d from behind. He quickly swirled around and unfolded his fan. G.o.d of Spring held it in front of him and infused his magical power into it to resist the a.s.sault. The attacker"s strength, however, surpa.s.sed his, which made him glide towards the pool. Seeing this, he quickly shouted while gritting his teeth.
"My Lord! Please have mercy!"
The response was an increased force, pushing G.o.d of Spring into the water. With great efforts he swam up to the surface, only to be pulled down by the a.s.sailant"s magic. This continued for a while before he finally was released from the torment and landed on the ground quivering.
He spat out the water he unwillingly swallowed and breathed heavily. Even though he couldn"t drown like the mortals by normal water, Water magic could still harm him and even potentially kill him if the wielder was strong enough.
"Did you have fun?" A cold voice asked him.
G.o.d of Spring weakly stood up and forced out the water from his clothes with magic.
"No, my Lord. But I guess I deserved it." He answered with a bow.
"You deserve much more!" The Lord screamed while approaching the G.o.d.
"What did I order you to do?"
G.o.d of Spring gulped before responding.
"To eliminate the Fire Clan."
"And what happened?!"
Water left the pond and shaped into an arm, before grabbing the unlucky Immortal at his neck. G.o.d of Spring attempted to lessen the strangulation by cutting of hand, but it grew back again.
"The Fire Clan remains, and the Fire kid and the annoying Ice kid were only sentenced to a mortal trial." The Lord angrily replied in his stead.
"I-It isn"t just an ordinary trial, my Lord!" G.o.d of Spring managed to force out.
"No?"
The G.o.d hit the ground with a thud and coughed loudly.
"No. They were directed to the Forgotten Desert."
"The place where no mortal has ever successfully traveled through?" The Lord"s mood became instantly better.
"Yes, I managed to manipulate the Celestial Emperor"s decision in secret. The Forgotten Desert is a place with no return. My Lord, you can therefore be ensured that the Fire Clan will remain without heir."
