“Come, come, come, it’s a rare occasion to meet again, so I, an old man, have brought out this tree wine that I am usually reluctant to drink,” the Old Farmer said, obviously in a very good mood.
In his advanced age, to have received a disciple like Peng Chen, who was so passionate about farming, meant he could finally pass on his life’s learnings to someone else. This was a joy indescribable, far surpassing the joy of achieving sainthood oneself.

“Ah, what fine wine! Such delightful wine must not be enjoyed without my drinking buddy. Invite Lord Song God in as well,” Zhu Minglang said.
Lord Song God was waiting outside, feeling somewhat panicky.
For some reason, he always felt that the Savage Forbidden Forest was a man-eating trap and that those giant trees with the ability to move independently were devils that devoured people.
This trip was indeed fraught with extreme danger.
Fortunately, along the way, Lord Song God had noted the distribution of the fengshui forest terrain here, and with his divine skills, he should be able to find a perfect escape route from this place.
“Lord Song God, come in for a drink,” Zhu Minglang called out.
“???” Lord Song God was momentarily stunned.
A signal?
Was this a secret code from Master Zhu to him, indicating that he should prepare to flee?
Soon, a clear fragrance assaulted his nostrils, followed by the aroma of the wine, fragrant like flowers and wood, spreading to the surroundings. In an instant, he felt as if he had been thrown into a pool of liquor, completely immersed in the overpowering scent of the wine, intoxicated, lost, unable to extricate himself!
Good heavens…
Such exquisite wine exists in this world!
I, the Lord of the Dragon Pool and Jackal’s Den, must brave this adventure!
Upon entering the house, the atmosphere inside was ecstatic, with Master Zhu and the leader from the Alien Continent drinking together.
Had he lost his memory?
Just a short while ago, Master Zhu had entered the place with a serious face, looking as if he was ready to fight a dark and destructive battle opposite him. How had they come to sit down and drink in just a short time?
Could it be that Master Zhu was not only skilled in cultivation but also a negotiation prodigy with extraordinary talent?
“Master Zhu, how did the…?” Lord Song God asked in a low voice.
“It’s settled. This leader Peng Chen is willing to serve Great Tianshu and personally lead the army to eradicate those from the Alien Continent,” Zhu Minglang said.
Upon hearing this, Lord Song God immediately felt confused.
What does he mean by eradicating the Alien Continent?
They, Lin Ji, are the Alien Continent!
Could it be that they will obediently jump into a sea of fire?
In the presence of the alien continent’s leader, it was inappropriate for Lord Song God to speak bluntly.
After all, within the Leader’s Conference, there was a tendency to wipe out this Lin Ji Continent. As for who would mobilize the troops and lead the extermination, that was another game of passing the buck.
No one wanted to undertake such an ungrateful task, or else they wouldn’t have let Zhu Minglang, this thorn in their side, serve as the envoy for Tianshu this time.
“Here’s the thing…” Zhu Minglang stood up, walked over to Lord Song God, and said in a low voice, “The leader of Lin Ji Continent and their military backing are not weaker than a True God of Tianshu and the Lower God Organization. You can’t expect me to slaughter them all with my own two hands, can you? Who knows if there are other powerful beings on Lin Ji Continent? If I kill their leader today, the entire Lin Ji Continent might retaliate against the Tianshu Citizens like madmen, and in the end, wouldn’t it be the various deities and their followers who suffer?”
Lord Song God nodded. The logic was indeed sound.
This matter was indeed not easy to handle; it felt like those in the Leader’s Conference were deliberately giving Master Zhu a hard time. If he handled it improperly, they would find him guilty…
“So how did Master Zhu manage to talk peacefully with them? Do they wish to accept subjugation?” Lord Song God asked.
“Of course not. Everyone is wise. Most continents, even if they know they’re not powerful enough, would absolutely not accept such demeaning terms of servitude. That’s why I thought of a foolproof plan,” Zhu Minglang said.
“What foolproof plan??” Lord Song God immediately became interested.
“Making them slaves is indeed possible, but after being oppressed for long, slaves will inevitably rebel and cause riots. Instead, why not use them as cannon fodder on the battlefield,” Zhu Minglang suggested.
“Oh?” Lord Song God’s mind was opened up by Zhu Minglang’s idea.
“What’s most important for Tianshu right now? According to the philosophy of Xuange God, it’s stability. The various territories, leaders, and True Gods must not cause chaos at the stage when the Seven God Territories are about to converge. However, there are so many problems left over from Tianshu’s history. Even deities struggle against each other, let alone those leaders. Gathering them in Xuange Country Capital throws its order into total chaos. Lord Song God, you must understand this best. Furthermore, with the various Alien Continents falling into Tianshu, their civility varies greatly. Some are even uncivilized, wild, strong, and full of aggression. If we don’t handle them, they will plunder Tianshu’s resources to grow stronger. Handling them would burden our people and drain Tianshu’s foundations. Hence, the foolproof plan I’ve thought of is to appoint the leader of Lin Ji Continent as a God of Subjugation and use them as a weapon. Let them eliminate other continents that have fallen within the Tianshu God Domain!” Zhu Minglang expounded.
Lord Song God’s eyes lit up.
This method was indeed good.
Since all the leaders of the conference didn’t wish to expend efforts to resolve the issue, it was better to keep a wolf as a dog, to hunt other jackals.
Have the people of Lin Ji Continent fight against the barbarians of other fallen continents, thus weakening Lin Ji Continent’s strength and removing any potential threats without Tianshu having to mobilize a single soldier — a peaceful, worry-free life ensued.
If Lin Ji performed well, they could consider reconciliation; if they remained obstinate, they could be dispatched like draining a pond to catch fish!
“It sounds like there are no problems on paper, but how will Master Zhu get these vindictive Lin Ji Continentals to act according to our wishes? Are they really willing to be cannon fodder? Can’t they see we’re using them?” Lord Song God said.
“That’s why we must go back and discuss this with all the leaders. We need to get Tianshu to offer them some small benefits, at the very least allowing their citizen army passage so they can reach other fallen continents. This will ensure they do not clash with the True Gods and leaders of Tianshu, and that these Alien Continents can clash with each other smoothly,” Zhu Minglang explained.
“Indeed, we can discuss this with the leaders when we return,” Lord Song God nodded.
To Tianshu, the Alien Continent was essentially a horde of rioters. Killing them wouldn’t necessarily bring benefits, but neglecting them could spell disaster.
So it was better to let the rioters kill each other off.
“As long as Tianshu agrees to this condition, in reality, we give nothing and lose nothing, yet they foolishly fight for us, doing the dirtiest, most exhausting, and most dangerous work,” Zhu Minglang stated.
“Master Zhu is simply a negotiating genius. Our God Country should appoint you as a Divine Envoy. I believe with you, our God Country could even secure a place in the North Dipper God State!” Lord Song God praised.
