Chapter 45 - Lord Jack's Past

(LORD JACK POV)

"I'm sorry! But, you shouldn't have to do something like this! I won't get hurt just because of a weapon from the Human Realm," I said, bandaging the wound with a piece of cloth from my robe. Actually, it's also a shame to have to tear this luxurious robe of mine.​​

I wanted to use healing magic to heal the man's wounds, but of course the human would be suspicious of me. So, I'll act like an ordinary human, even though I'm actually a very powerful God.

"Are all humans this careless?" I muttered.

The man was silent, as if he was thinking about something.

"You're not human, huh?" he asked, laughing as if mockingly.

"I am a God. The strongest God in the Three Realms!" I replied curtly.

The man just looked at me with a strange look. Why is he this?

"Lao Wu! Where are you? Lao Wu!!"

The voice came from the top of the hill. It was far enough that we fell. Maybe the depth where I am currently is about 50 meters from the top of the hill.

"I'm here, Xiao Li!"

The man next to me waved his hand, pointing at the man on the hill. Maybe his friend.

"We will stretch out the rope! Hold on to this rope!"

The voice of the man from the top of the hill again.

A few moments later, there was already a rope coming from the top of the hill.

"You go first!"

The man told me to climb on the rope. I just nodded, agreeing that the human wouldn't be more suspicious of me.

After climbing using a rope, I have now reached the top of the hill. I looked down, it seemed the man was having a hard time getting up. Maybe the wound on his arm is getting worse.

I pointed my index finger at the man, and carried him up the hill with the spiritual power I had.

Can you imagine the reaction of the 2 men next to me? Yes, of course their eyes bulged at the attraction like magic, which was presented in front of their eyes.

Indeed, I shouldn't be able to use my powers in this realm. But, I can not bear to see the man who helped me earlier.

"Why? Never seen the power of the greatest God, heum?" I asked them.

They were just silent, either amazed or even afraid of me. They turned their attention to the man who helped me earlier.

"Are you all right, Lao Wu?" asked one of the men.

"It's okay. Oh yeah, did we win, Xiao Li?" asked the man who saved me earlier.

"Yes, the enemy has withdrawn their troops," replied the slightly chubby man.

I left them. However, one of them stopped me in my tracks.

"Where are you going, Sir? You seem lost. Come with us to our base!" said one of the men.

"Yes, I did get lost. And now I don't know where to go either," I answered simply. There's also nothing wrong with staying in this Human Realm for a few years.

"I am Wu Shunxi, a war general," said the man who helped me.

"And I'm Hong Li!" the chubby man replied.

Yes, that was my first meeting with a young man named Wu Shunxi. Xiao Xi who I now consider as my own brother.

After 5 years had passed, I finally returned to the Sky Palace. Of course at Xiao Xi's persuasion. I also took him with me.

I was sworn in as King of the Land of Fire-Water at the age of 135. The Land of Fire-Water rules the Land of Fire, Land of Water, Land of Dreams, Land of Elves, Land of Bears and other great lands.

Fire-Water is a clan fusion clan that controls the power of the fire element and masters the water element. However, our clan level is much higher.

Father made Wu Shunxi a border guard. The border guards are in charge of guarding the gate that separates the God Realm and the Human Realm.

As long as I am ruler, I maintain peace in these 3 realms. Before the big event finally happened. The incident that took the life of my adopted sister, Wu Shunxi.

Seventy years after my inauguration as King, there was a great revolt.

Well, all the kings of the 3 realms united to overthrow me. They said I was too young and too cruel to rule.

This rebellion was led by the King of Fotia. The entire Greyrat clan was massacred. Now I'm the only one left of our clan.

I ran for safety, but they managed to find me. King Fotia who was in power at that time used the sky sword to eliminate me.

However, there is a burly body that protects this body. Oh my gosh, it's Xiao Xi! He made his body a shield for me.

My heart was really broken at that time.

I still remember the last word. "My Brother, we are brothers. And we parted ways to meet again."

(flashback ends)

"And you see, My Sons? The man who saved father has a very similar face to Zhang Sifeng." Lord Jack told his three sons.

"I saw it, Father. Even though Brother Sifeng was in pain, he still protected me in his arms," ​​said Vin, recounting his experience of being rescued by Sifeng.

"So, is it possible that Sifeng is the reincarnation of Uncle Wu, Father?" Gil said, stroking his chin trying to think hard.

"Then what does all this have to do with that square thing, Father?" Glen, the eldest among the current Greyrat's Brothers spoke. He seemed so enthusiastic to hear his father's next story.

"After hundreds of years, you remember that father was once sealed in Shui Xing Mountain?"

Lord Jack continued his story.

"When? I don't remember dad," said Vin, who was immediately greeted by laughter from his brothers.

"Hahaha, you were still a baby at that time, Vin," said Vin while ruffling Vin's long silver hair.

Vin pursed his lips, making his brothers excited and pinching the handsome young man's plump cheeks.

"After 30 years father was sealed in Shui Xing mountain. There was a human who could break father's seal. At that time, there was a blizzard, father could not see clearly. However, father faintly saw him carrying a square object that gave off fire. Yes, exactly the same as Yushen's."

Lord Jack explained while twirling the thing. Things they don't know what it's called.

They were silent, still with their own speculations.

***

"Where are we, Lao Yu?" Sifeng asked his brother, using his usual inconsistent address.

"Wanna buy some ice cream." Yushen answered quickly. He immediately walked after landing his feet after teleporting from the God Realm.

"Why are the inscriptions on the shops around us in katakana, Lao Yu?" Sifeng asked again, still looking confused. He looked around, but was very unfamiliar with this place.

"Yes, A-Feng. Are we really going to stop by to buy ice cream in Japan first?" said Yushen again, smiling.

"What? Seriously, Yushen?! Why did we go all the way to Japan to buy ice cream, huh?! Isn't Beijing really selling ice cream? You're getting weirder, Lao Yu!" Sifeng snapped at his brother.

However, Yushen wasn't too bothered by his brother's scolding. Yushen was still walking down the busy sidewalk.

***

Zhang Sifeng and Zhang Yushen opened their eyes. They are in a park.

"Where is this, Lao Yu?"

"I want to buy ice cream here first," Yushen replied, with a faint smile.

"Hmm," Sifeng muttered as he looked around. Each stall uses kanji, some say katakana and hiragana, on every billboard. Sifeng flinched at that. "You sure this is Beijing, heum?"

"Why are you so sure I'm going to want to go back to Beijing, A-Feng? This is Japan, you idiot!" Yushen said, still wearing a cool smile.

"What? Japan? You're crazy, Zhang Yushen! You came to Japan just to buy ice cream, huh? Really?" Sifeng protested.

Sifeng saw Yushen starting to enter one of the figures. Sifeng let out a ragged breath at being ignored by Yushen.

"Ah, fine! I'll just go home alone, Lao Yu. Look at me!" Sifeng shouted.

Sifeng started to close his eyes and thought about his destination which was Beijing, China. After waiting for a while, nothing has changed. Sifeng was still in the same place. Sifeng looked confused and looked around.

Yushen left Sifeng who was still busy with the jade bracelet, which was on his left wrist. Sifeng was still trying to teleport, but Sifeng noticed that Yushen was getting further and further away.

"Zhang Yushen! Wait for me!" Sifeng shouted. Sifeng ran after Yushen.

"Why can't I use this bracelet, heh?" asked Sifeng, as he caught up with Yushen's footsteps. Sifeng said with his breath still ragged.

"The bracelet can only be used if it is united with mine, A-Feng," Yushen replied, casually.

"Ha? You're really going too far, Lao Yu! What are we doing in this people's country, Lao Yu?! I really miss dad right now, Yu Ge. Let's just go home, shall we?" Sifeng asked.
