Earth-Horse’s expression dimmed, unsure how to respond.

At this moment, Earth-Pig raised his head to look at her and said, “Just agree for now. Go get your injury treated first. If you delay any longer, your foot will definitely be crippled.”

Earth-Horse looked at everyone in the room, seemingly contemplating something. After a while, she finally said, “I understand.”

This time when she left, no one stepped forward to stop her. After all, what needed to be done was already done. The current Earth-Horse shouldn’t do anything outrageous anymore—they could only wait for her to think things through and return on her own.

The only unstable element remaining in the room was Earth-Pig. Since everyone had been adversaries just minutes ago, no one knew how to resolve the situation now.

Earth-Pig walked a few steps toward Pei Qianhu’s direction, then lowered his head and rolled up his pant leg, revealing his tender knee. Then he pointed at it with his finger.

“What?” Pei Qianhu asked.

“Kick me,” Earth-Pig said.

“What the hell?!”

Earth-Pig sighed. “One thing is one thing. I sneak-attacked you earlier without knowing the situation. Now you kick me back, and we’re even.”

“Damn…” After hearing this, Earth-Tiger felt somewhat unable to comprehend. “They really weren’t wrong when they said you’re like a child. You hit me, so what? I didn’t die from it. Why would there be a ‘kick me back’?”

“I was less than thirteen years old before becoming ‘Earth Level,'” Earth-Pig said. “Calling me a child isn’t inappropriate at all. It’s just that I’ve already lived here for decades.”

Earth-Pig’s single statement plunged everyone into silence. If they didn’t find a way to do something, they would only live here even longer than Earth-Pig had.

“No wonder that arrogant energy about you is similar to when I was young. Damn, you really are a kid?”

Earth-Tiger’s tone was no longer so harsh—it had actually softened somewhat. “If you’re a kid, I won’t hold it against you. Let’s just forget about this matter.”

After hearing this, Earth-Pig pondered for a moment, then lowered his pant leg and said, “I don’t want to owe you anything. As repayment, let me do something for you. What do you want done? As long as it’s within my capabilities, I can help you do it.”

Pei Qianhu looked at Earth-Pig and thought for a while, then smiled and said, “Damn, someone just kicked me when I was down. Go kill that Black Sheep for me—I can’t stand it anymore.”

“Alright.” Earth-Pig nodded with a serious expression. “I’ll go right now.”

“Huh?” Black Sheep was startled. “Damn, Pei Qianhu, you really don’t know what’s good for you. That was my delaying tactic!”

Before the words even finished, Earth-Pig was already preparing to charge forward. Pei Qianhu hurriedly lunged forward to stop him.

“Hey, forget it, forget it! I was just joking!”

Everyone felt that there was yet another problematic person in this room.

“Didn’t you tell me to kill him?” Earth-Pig asked.

“I completely believe you’re a child now.” Pei Qianhu shook his head helplessly. “Seeing how you love to dominate and boss others around without any manners, I really used to think you were a scheming little shorty…”

“No matter what, I won’t grow any taller anyway,” Earth-Pig said. “If you don’t need me to do anything else, I’ll leave now.”

“Leave…?” Earth-Tiger was startled. “You’re not going to care about our rebellion anymore?”

“You also said it just now, didn’t you?” Earth-Pig replied. “Your target is nothing more than the ‘Heavenly’ level. Kill the ‘Heavenly’ ones and you can be promoted. I don’t have any thoughts about this matter. Before I find the true path to promotion, I won’t act rashly.”

“The true path to promotion?”

“Yes. At least I don’t want to become a second Baiyang,” Earth-Pig said with a sigh. “Even if I really must vanish into thin air here, I can’t die without understanding why.”

After hearing this, Black Sheep furrowed his brow. “I think I kind of understand what you mean… You think we gathered here to rebel in order to avenge Brother Sheep? No wonder you thought our leader was Pei Qianhu.”

“Isn’t that the case?” Earth-Pig was also somewhat puzzled. “Because you also guessed that Baiyang probably died, so you wanted to demand an explanation from the ‘Heavenly’ level here.”

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in dismay. Earth-Tiger also wiped the blood from his face and limped over, saying, “Little Pig, what if I told you that not only is Brother Sheep fine, but right now he’s at the ‘Land of终焉’ trying to find a way to fight against ‘Heavenly-Dragon’?”

“What…?”

“It’s true.” Everyone nodded one after another, and Earth-Mouse also said from the side, “Pig Leader, all the ‘Zodiacs’ who appeared in this room today should have seen Baiyang during the daytime.”

Everyone informed Earth-Pig about what had happened to them during the day, and Earth-Pig also recalled accordingly.

He indeed hadn’t seen any suspicious people. There was only a team wearing leather jackets who were very strong—he had nearly been tricked by them.

As for the “unsmiling young man” or the “young man who could annoy people to death” that everyone mentioned, he had never seen either.

“So you’re not bearing Baiyang’s will and pressing forward under a heavy burden, but directly following Baiyang’s instructions?” Earth-Pig muttered to himself.

“Can you not talk so chuunibyou?” Slacker Dog, who hadn’t spoken in a long time, opened his mouth. “One moment saying something like ‘wanting a promise from the Heavenly Level,’ the next saying ‘bearing Baiyang’s will and pressing forward.’ I’ve been holding back for a long time and really can’t stand it anymore. Can you watch fewer cartoons?”

“Hey, he’s a kid.” Earth-Tiger called out. “Loving cartoons is a good thing—it keeps the mind flexible.”

“You damn…” Black Sheep also couldn’t take it anymore. “Why do you change your temperament as soon as someone’s a kid? When you two were fighting each other just now, I really didn’t see you hold back.”

“I was just horsing around with Little Pig.” Earth-Tiger kept rubbing his knee—it looked like it hurt quite a bit. “If he’d told me early on that we’re years apart in age, I wouldn’t have struck so hard, right Little Pig?”

Earth-Pig didn’t acknowledge Earth-Tiger, only muttering to himself, “But this is really cool… An agreement between humans and beasts… A united rebellion between different species…”

“Who the hell are different species?” Black Sheep felt somewhat offended. “If you think you’re not human, don’t drag us into it.”

“We are ‘beast-men,’ they are ‘humans’…” Earth-Pig asked with a serious expression. “Doesn’t this count as crossing species boundaries?”

No one spoke—they just quietly looked at him, as if watching a child spouting nonsense.

“Good boy, we know, go play now.” Slacker Dog waved his hand expressionlessly.

“Don’t!” Earth-Pig’s interest was clearly piqued. “Hurry and tell me—what exactly is your plan?”
