Investing in the Empress's junior sister, she broke through her defenses after comparison.

Faced with such a solemn, even humble, salute from an ancient god-king, Ye Feng didn't even raise an eyebrow.

He simply stretched out one hand lazily and waved it casually in front of him.

An invisible yet extremely gentle force arose out of thin air and gently supported Thor's back, which was about to bend to its limit.

Thor King froze!

He felt a vast and boundless, yet gentle and nurturing, source energy supporting him firmly. No matter how much divine power he used, he could not bend down even an inch!

This power!

It's not domineering or forceful, but a higher level of control! It's a manifestation of masterful mastery of the primordial energy of heaven and earth!

Once again, a tremendous storm surged through Thor's heart.

He thought he had overestimated Ye Feng enough, but now he realized that what he had seen was probably not even the tip of the iceberg.

"King Thor, there's no need for that."

Ye Feng's voice remained as lazy as ever. He brought the purple-gold gourd to his lips and took another swig, the pungent aroma of the liquor instantly filling the air.

"I already said it's a small matter."

The way he spoke made it sound like he was talking about something as trivial as casually tossing away some trash, rather than about saving a sacred place with an ancient heritage.

Little things?

Thor was gently straightened by that gentle force. He looked at Ye Feng's excessively young face, opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't utter a single word.

Destroying a holy land with a single sword strike is a trivial matter?

Killing the Blood Nether Saint Lord is a trivial matter?

If this is a small matter, then what does it mean that he has guarded this place for ten thousand years?

This huge cognitive dissonance left Thor, an ancient monster who had lived for countless years, somewhat disoriented.

He had never seen such a person before!

So powerful it's incomprehensible, yet they act completely indifferent to that power!

This is no longer just a calm mind; this is true detachment from worldly affairs! It's as if everything in the world is nothing but fleeting smoke before him.

Ye Feng had no interest in trying to figure out what an old man was thinking.

He glanced at the father and daughter who were still standing there, then shook the wine gourd.

"Alright, stop standing there."

Ye Feng waved to them, indicating that they should do as they pleased.

"King Thor, you and Xiangling should talk more."

His words were light and airy, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.

"After all, it's between you and your daughter."

"But it's been so long since we last met."

After saying that, Ye Feng ignored them and turned around. In the desolate and bleak heart of the maze, he found a relatively clean black rock and sat down on it.

He leaned against the cold rock, crossed his legs, tilted his head back, raised his gourd high, and began to drink heartily again.

Their leisurely and carefree demeanor formed an extremely stark and absurd contrast with this dangerous and treacherous environment.

He really... just stood there waiting?

As Thor looked at the figure who casually discarded the immense kindness shown to him and only cared about drinking, the last trace of doubt in his heart completely vanished.

This young friend Ye truly didn't take that kindness to heart.

Everything he did was perhaps just as he said, simply because Xiangling was his friend.

So simple, and so pure.

In Thor's heart, in addition to gratitude, there was also an indescribable awe.

He slowly turned around, and his dark eyes, which had been clouded for thousands of years, finally fell completely on his daughter.

"Xiangling..."

Thor's voice carried millennia of longing and guilt.

"Father!"

Xiangling could no longer hold back and threw herself into her father's dry but still broad embrace, bursting into tears.

All the grievances, worries, and longings of the past years turned into scalding tears at this moment, soaking Thor's tattered clothes.
