Chapter 2343 - 2344: The Mindset of a God

King Solomon spoke as he stepped down from the Bone Dragon's head, walking straight into its dark mouth.

Yang Fei watched King Solomon's back, feeling somewhat stunned.

This young man actually resides inside the mouth of the Bone Dragon.

However, judging by the Bone Dragon's size, its mouth is likely as large as a palace, making it indeed a suitable hiding place.

At that moment, King Solomon stopped, then slowly turned around to look at Yang Fei.

"Oh, the Solomon you obtained is just a little trinket I made when I was bored."

"Keep it with you as a memento, and feel free to visit here to play with me when you're free."

Yang Fei pondered for a moment, feeling a certain fondness for this delicate and lazy young man, and casually asked.

"What's your relationship with Yi He Grand Priest? Why did your Solomon appear in his possession?"

King Solomon laughed, his smile clean and bright, contrasting starkly with the terrifying surroundings.

"In your Earth Space, through the centuries, I was bored and once visited."

"I once founded a dynasty, played Emperor for several years, found it dull, and returned."

Yang Fei suddenly understood, and couldn't help but smile: "No wonder you're called King Solomon."

King Solomon was a real historical figure on Earth, the greatest Monarch of the Jewish people, also known as the King of Wisdom, who could summon and command 72 Demon Gods.

These legends are documented in historical records, filled with an aura of mystery.

Yang Fei hadn't expected to meet the real King Solomon here.

These thoughts flashed through Yang Fei's mind as he heard King Solomon speak calmly.

"After I returned, Solomon remained in Earth Space, and over a thousand years passed, so I don't know whose hands it ended up in."

At this point, he revealed a sunny smile again.

"So, I'm very sorry, I don't know who that Yi He Grand Priest is."

Yang Fei nodded, King Solomon's founded dynasty long since turned to dust, disappearing in the river of history.

It would indeed be strange if he knew someone like Yi He Grand Priest.

King Solomon chatted briefly with Yang Fei, sizing him up and suddenly gaining more interest in him.

"If you're not in a hurry to leave, you can come here and have a drink with me."

Yang Fei, being a person of character, unfurled his Wind and Fire Wings and flew straight into the Bone Dragon's huge mouth.

Inside the Bone Dragon's mouth was more expansive than Yang Fei imagined, with intricate carvings everywhere, resembling the murals in a cave.

In the vast space, there was only a long table and two rattan chairs, extremely minimalist.

King Solomon invited Yang Fei to sit down, poured him a glass of fine wine, and smiled faintly.

"In hundreds of years, you are the second guest here."

Yang Fei couldn't help but feel curious.

"So, who was the first guest?"

King Solomon casually looked at Yang Fei, half-smiling.

"There's a story in Earth Space that even children know, called Alibaba."

Yang Fei suddenly had a moment of realization.

"I get it, so the cave Alibaba ventured into back then was right here."

King Solomon nodded.

"Alibaba was just an ordinary person, unlike you who have Divine Skills, but I deliberately let him in."

He squinted his long eyes, revealing a meaningful smile.

"It was merely a prank because I was terribly bored, as I wanted to see to what extent human nature's good and evil could reach."

Yang Fei couldn't help but clap and laugh.

"So, the bad people were punished, and the good ones gained a fortune of millions, is that it?"

King Solomon gently shook his head.

"Of course not, the most important thing is that I derived enjoyment from it."

King Solomon looked at Yang Fei blandly.

"It's like teasing ants with a piece of bread — do you care about the ants' joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness?"

"What you care about is the enjoyment the ants' pursuit of the bread brings to you."

Yang Fei thought about it, wanting to argue but found he had no words, so he sighed deeply.

"No matter what, I can't see my kind as ants."

"There are my loved ones and friends there; would you regard your family and friends as ants?"

King Solomon shook his head, his face suddenly revealed a look of melancholy.

"My father is Ksitigarbha King, he has ten sons, I am ninth in rank."

"Ever since my Divine Essence was abolished, in their eyes, I am less than ants."

Yang Fei recalled the conversation between the one-horned monster and King Solomon, and suddenly had an epiphany.

"So, were you expelled here?"

King Solomon twitched his mouth and then smiled indifferently.

"To be precise, it was an exile, but the person who exiled me wasn't my father but my esteemed stepmother."

Yang Fei slapped the table heavily.

"In the world, if women run the household, there's never a single good thing happening."

"You were secretly exiled, don't you want to return to Ksitigarbha Realm to demand an explanation from your father?"

King Solomon smiled wryly, assessing himself, his face full of despondency.

"Looking like this, what qualifications do I have to challenge the mighty Ksitigarbha King?"

"I'm afraid before I even reach his side, others would devour me alive."

Yang Fei swept King Solomon's entire body with his Divine Thought, and indeed found him completely empty inside, devoid of Divine Power or even Spiritual Origin Qi.

King Solomon's mouth fell, his face showed a hint of hurt, and he spoke quietly.

"Others call me the King of Wisdom, but if fists can solve things, why bother using one's brain? I'm damn unable to use fists."

Yang Fei was amused by his humor and laughed heartily, slapping him heavily on the shoulder.

"You still have wisdom, you still have the countless Ghost Generals in these Space Fragments loyal to you, what's there to be angry about?"

Saying this, Yang Fei extended his fist, holding it out in front of King Solomon.

"Moreover, without fists, why not cultivate again?"

"I once was an ant in your eyes, but now I possess strength a thousand times more powerful than ants."

Upon hearing this, King Solomon seemed thunderstruck, instantly stunned.

"Do you mean through cultivation I can regain Divine Essence, gain strength?"

Yang Fei shrugged: "I can assure you."

King Solomon looked at Yang Fei, his eyes gradually brightening, showing a touch of blush on his pale face.

Finally, King Solomon gritted his teeth fiercely and stood up abruptly.

"You're right, as gods, we naturally possess Divine Essence; however, 100,000 years ago, our ancestors were mere humans."

"Humans, considered as ants, can gain strength through cultivation, why can't I?"

As King Solomon spoke, he became more excited, suddenly giving Yang Fei a bear hug.

"Thank you, stranger, you've enlightened me."

"If someday King Solomon can return to Ksitigarbha Realm to wash away the shame suffered, I owe it all to you."

Yang Fei laughed heartily.

"Self-strengthening isn't exclusive to humans—Gods can do it too."

"I believe, one day, you'll confront your damned stepmother and spank her."

As they spoke, they laughed together.

They chatted about some Nine Realms curiosities, and when King Solomon learned about Wang Xiaoshi's exploits, he was suddenly shocked.

He opened his eyes wide, looking at Yang Fei with endless admiration.

"You're the True Martial King's successor; that's awesome, True Martial King is my idol."
