Indeed, the Divine Kingdom has a group of Divine Pattern Masters. These Divine Pattern Masters don't possess strong cultivation bases and are specifically engaged in the task of drawing divine patterns. To prevent the patterns from being leaked, this group is constantly monitored and even placed under house arrest, similar to how some military spies, even after retiring, are still under the control of the state government.
Of course, the Ancient God-King, to better control the entire Empire, started practicing the art of divine patterns from a young age. The Divine Queen, whom he married later, does not understand divine patterns.
Wang Xiaoqiang's guess was quite accurate. With such a provocation from Wang Xiaoqiang, the Divine Queen found it difficult to conceal any longer and said, "The Divine King knows how to depict divine patterns, but whether he will agree to add patterns to your spell is uncertain. I'll talk to him for you..."
As she spoke, the Divine Queen flew towards the Divine King.
At this moment, the Ancient God-King's group was confronting the Snow Wolf King's group. The Snow Wolf King was severely injured, looking distressed and filled with fury. Compared to the God-King's calm demeanor, his aura was far weaker.
The Divine King pointed at the Snow Wolf King and shouted angrily, "Snow Wolf King, why did you surround and kill my daughter and son-in-law?"
"Hmph, who would've thought that Wang Xiaoqiang, this rotten kid, would truly become your son-in-law, God-King. He really is lucky, a fortunate fellow," the Snow Wolf King sneered sarcastically, "But, God-King, you're just too muddle-headed, too ridiculous. I never imagined that you, the wise Ancient God-King, would choose such a lowly scoundrel, a vulgar rogue... as your Divine Kingdom Consort..."
"You, Wolf Breed People, do not slander my son-in-law..." The God-King was furious, glaring coldly at the Snow Wolf King, shouting like rolling thunder.
"Haha, I don't need to slander. Your son-in-law, the Divine Kingdom Consort Wang Xiaoqiang, is originally a vile character..." The Snow Wolf King sneered triumphantly, "If you don't believe me, you can ask your son-in-law why I want to destroy him, what disgraceful things he has done..."
The God-King's gaze turned to Wang Xiaoqiang, causing his heart to jump. He quickly put on an innocent look and hadn't even spoken when the Ancient Demon below voiced out, "I am most qualified to speak on this matter,"
Hearing this, everyone looked down at the Ancient Demon.
The Ancient Demon continued, "Snow Wolf King, your son, the Wolf Prince, wanted to marry the daughter of Moon Fairy, Yuechan. Yuechan despised the Wolf Prince for being a Wolf Breed Person, unwilling to bear a litter of wolf cubs for him. As a result, she sought out Wang Xiaoqiang to help her through the crisis. Seeing Yuechan's pitiable state, Wang Xiaoqiang intended to help her. However, the Wolf Prince read about it and came to destroy Wang Xiaoqiang. In the end, with my help, Wang Xiaoqiang escaped a disaster. Yuechan's mother, Moon Fairy, was killed, and you, Snow Wolf King, couldn't bear it, so you came to seek revenge on Wang Xiaoqiang and me..."
Listening to the Ancient Demon's fabricated lie, Wang Xiaoqiang secretly sighed with relief. He truly feared the Ancient Demon brother would slip and expose him, but surprisingly, the Ancient Demon's deceit had improved, and the story, told by an Ancient Demon, became even more convincing, leaving the God-King no choice but to believe it.
The God-King heard this and stroked his beard, saying, "Hmm, rumors say the Ancient Demon clan is ferocious but never lies. I believe what you said..."
Before the God-King could finish, the Snow Wolf King laughed loudly, his laughter even more mocking, "Hahahaha~~~~ What a joke, a grand joke. The Ancient Demon clan never lies—this is outdated information, isn't it? What era is this now? Moreover, this Ancient Demon had long sworn brotherhood with Wang Xiaoqiang, he has been corrupted by Wang Xiaoqiang, and with their deep brotherhood, they would definitely cover for Wang Xiaoqiang..."
One sentence caused the God-King's expression to change again, his gaze shifting from the Ancient Demon back to Wang Xiaoqiang. The Ancient Demon laughed again, "Hahahaha~~~~ You're hilarious, Snow Wolf King. Wang Xiaoqiang is my brother, of course, I will defend him. Remember, it's a defense, not a cover-up. I don't need to shield him because he is very honest and doesn't need my cover. Besides, I wasn't required to swear brotherhood with him, but I did. The reason is simple: I value not his cultivation base but his character. He is as honest as us Ancient Demons..."
The Ancient Demon's deceit had improved, fully comparable to Wang Xiaoqiang's, telling a lie like it's the truth, making people believe it. And thinking about it, the Ancient Demon is so powerful, why would it swear brotherhood with Wang Xiaoqiang of Ancient God Cultivation? Moreover, humans and demons have always been opposed and incompatible. The fact that this human and demon could become brothers shows that they are kindred spirits with the same character...
As the Snow Wolf King was about to refute, the God-King grew impatient, pointed at the Snow Wolf King, and angrily shouted, "Snow Wolf King, I shall no longer listen to your nonsense. Today you either retreat or die, you choose yourself..."
Upon hearing this, the Snow Wolf King was also furious, pointing at the God-King, "Old scoundrel, you really think I'm afraid of you? Don't forget, we have two hundred men here, outnumbering you tenfold. If you know what's good for you, quickly get lost. I can let your daughter go, but Wang Xiaoqiang and the Ancient Demon below are definitely going to die today..."
"Wang Xiaoqiang is my son-in-law, and I am determined to protect him." The God-King said this and then flew towards Wang Xiaoqiang, intending to hide him in the Storage Ring and take him away. Indeed, the Snow Wolf King's numbers were ten times his own, and if a battle ensued, the situation wouldn't be optimistic.
By this time, the Ancient God-King had completely treated Wang Xiaoqiang as one of his own. When he flew in front of Wang Xiaoqiang, he said, "Little Qiang, for your safety, I must put you into my Storage Ring, and you must not have any psychological resistance..."
Wang Xiaoqiang liked putting others into his Storage Ring but didn't like being put into others' Storage Rings because placing someone in a Storage Ring allowed for direct control over them. Once someone entered another's Storage Ring, their fate was in that person's hands. If he wasn't let out, he could only spend endless years in the Storage Ring, worse than death.
Therefore, Wang Xiaoqiang adhered to a principle: he'd rather die than enter someone else's Storage Ring, even if it was someone closest to him, even his brother Wang Dali or his original wife Liu Xiaofang, he couldn't trust that much, let alone this Ancient God-King whom he had only known for a few days. So he immediately shook his head to express his opposition, waving his hand urgently, "God-King, no, Little Qiang is unwilling. Little Qiang has lived his life only as a man, never a coward. Even if he dies in battle, he will never shrink into a Storage Ring..."
Wang Xiaoqiang intentionally raised his voice, drawing everyone's attention. The Ancient God-King, seeing him speak in such a way, felt awkward with everyone watching, so he clapped and laughed, "Hahahaha~~~ Worthy indeed of being the Divine Kingdom Consort, worthy indeed of being the God-King's son-in-law, truly exceptional. Good, Little Qiang, you are a real man. Even if you battle to the death, you will never be a coward. This is well said, highly praised..."
The God-King said this, and suddenly his smile faded. He lowered his voice, speaking solemnly to Wang Xiaoqiang, "But, what will you use to fight? Just now, you went head to head with the Snow Wolf King. Though you were not seriously injured, it was only by chance. If he genuinely wants to destroy you, several Great Powers could easily annihilate you..."
"If the God-King is a bit generous, Little Qiang could contend with the Great Powers..." Wang Xiaoqiang cupped his fists and said.
"Uh?" The God-King was at a loss for words, saying, "If I am generous? I've already given my daughter to you, how could I be more generous...?"
"I understand the Prosperity and Decline Technique. The God-King only needs to depict divine patterns onto my technique, and it can shake the Great Powers..." Wang Xiaoqiang said seriously.
The God-King's face changed upon hearing this, staring intently at Wang Xiaoqiang, his gaze narrowing like needlepoints, as if harboring a hint of killing intent. However, quickly, his gaze softened, and he smiled, "Alright, Little Qiang, I will fulfill your wish, but in the future, I hope you will treat Rouge well and ensure her lifelong safety."
"Rouge is already my wife, and I will certainly ensure her safety, no need for the God-King to worry," Wang Xiaoqiang said very seriously.
"Good. Now operate the Heart Technique Incantation of the 'Prosperity and Decline Technique.' I will depict divine patterns on it," the God-King said.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoqiang operated the Heart Technique Incantation of the Prosperity and Decline Technique according to the instructions. As he operated the incantation, runes appeared above his head. These runes were invisible to everyone, not even Wang Xiaoqiang's Heavenly Eye could see them. Only a strong Divine Pattern Master with an "Eye of Illusion" could see them.
A strong Divine Pattern Master possesses an Eye of Illusion. The Eye of Illusion sees through illusions and can see illusory things. Something like a Heart Technique Incantation can be seen through the Eye of Illusion.
The God-King, after seeing the Heart Technique Incantation of the Prosperity and Decline Technique through the Eye of Illusion, formed hand seals with his right hand, making Golden Light flicker on his fingertips, directing it towards the incantation...
As he depicted with his fingers, divine patterns appeared on the Heart Technique Incantation with extraordinary mystery...
