Chaotic thoughts flashed quickly through Wen Yu's mind.
In such a short time, Wen Yu had come up with countless methods to gain benefits—this could only be said that the gift the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine had given him was truly enormous!
Sensing that the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine seemed to be in a deep slumber and silent, Wen Yu changed his thoughts and immediately began his performance.
The Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine had made it very clear—natives of the Immortal Heroic World knew only the name of the “son” of the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor but had never seen him.
In this situation, no matter how Wen Yu acted, it would not raise anyone's suspicion—he only needed to play his role authentically!
Under this major premise, Wen Yu had no possibility of exposing himself.
So...
Seeing a large group of natives from the Immortal Heroic World still kneeling in front of him, Wen Yu coughed twice to clear his throat, then spoke with a calm expression and steady voice.
“Get up.”
“Yes, young master!”
Mo Xuan’s voice remained gentle, proving that kneeling on the ground for nearly five minutes did not cause him a shred of complaint—this class order in the Immortal Heroic World was far more cruel than that on Earth, possibly due to the fact that the apocalypse on Earth had just begun.
The role that status could play was clearly manifested at this moment.
Just like Lin Haifeng on Earth—Lin Haifeng's strength was not weak, but there were many soldiers in the military stronger than him. Why did Lin Haifeng dare to claim he was the strongest person on Earth?
It was simple; under a well-established class system, status could be transformed into strength!
This was similar to Wen Yu at present; though Mo Xuan was stronger than him, under the pressure of his status, he still had to obediently kneel in front of him for more than five minutes!
...
Wen Yu’s self-assertion did not elicit any reaction from the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine. Wen Yu understood that although the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine did not speak, all of his actions were perceived by it.
If he did something wrong, the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine would definitely send him a mental wave immediately.
And silence?
That meant Wen Yu's actions were acceptable!
It also meant that the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine had tacitly agreed with Wen Yu’s earlier remarks about “son and father”!
Thus, Wen Yu, with a bold face, opened his mouth to seek benefits.
“Um, Mo Xuan, right?”
“Yes, young master. I didn’t expect you to remember my name.”
The trembling and excitement in Mo Xuan's tone did not seem feigned, as if being remembered by the “young master of the Heavenly Palace” was a great honor.
“I’ve heard my father mention it before. As the city lord guarding the fifth layer of the heavenly palace, Mo Xuan has naturally worked hard and made great contributions. My father is well aware of this, it’s just a pity…”
After finishing, Wen Yu immediately put on a look of sorrow, as if lamenting the tragic death of his “father”!
Before discussing serious matters, he needed to build rapport—a simple trick that Wen Yu naturally knew.
It must be said that the natives of the Immortal Heroic World really fell for this; Wen Yu intended to act, and the performance of the “Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor caring for the people” excited the group of natives so much that even the fire of their souls dimmed significantly.
Looking at Mo Xuan beside him who was almost in tears, Wen Yu truly didn’t know what to say.
However, from this small detail, Wen Yu could further infer what kind of status the former Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor held in the eyes of these natives of the Immortal Heroic World!
The conclusion was—supreme, even more formidable than the once revered emperor on Earth!
And his identity as the grand prince naturally rose with the tide!
...
Gently pressing his hand down, Wen Yu tried to control the excited atmosphere on site.
A simple small action was quickly noticed by all the spirits present, and it was immediately executed.
