Aogu was a Thunder Giant from the Aigus Star Domain, once a descendant of the Thunder God within his civilization and also a skilled Forge Master.
Although Aogu’s strength was not formidable, his forging technique was unparalleled.
The Thunder Giants were renowned for their Forging Technique, famous throughout the cosmos, and Aogu was a standout within the tribe, showcasing the excellence of his skills.
However, possessing superior forging skills without the strength to protect them meant the tribe was destined to become coveted by others.
Other civilizations might initially protect them, as many desired to associate with such forging experts, but relying on others for protection was not a long-term strategy.
Finally, when the Thunder Giants were targeted by a powerful Demon, their allies, who had once vowed to protect them, fell silent, allowing the Demon to massacre their people without stepping forward.
And the Demon who slaughtered them was none other than the Reaper—Wu Qi.
Aogu could understand the actions of those allies, as the opponent was a powerful member of the Demon Clan, backed by a formidable cosmic presence. Although that entity might not act directly for a subordinate, who would risk their entire civilization on a gamble?
Facing such a supreme cosmic entity, the choice of those allies was clear.
But understanding was one thing; Aogu could never forgive them. Their betrayal was one of the reasons for the annihilation of his tribe.
Sealed for ten thousand years, Aogu retained his consciousness, which for a sentient being was akin to torture.
Throughout those millennia, he had been angry, despaired, and fantasized about one day taking revenge against his enemies, avenging his tribe and those lost.
Sadly, even if hatred could fuel immense motivation, Aogu knew well the vast difference between himself and that person, like the disparity between clouds and mud.
Revenge seemed impossible in this lifetime.
Yet, just as he was about to resign to this fate, a glimmer of hope appeared.
He was rescued by an entity of equally unfathomable strength—the great Master of the Stars, Ji Xing.
Facing Ji Xing’s invitation, Aogu joined this unheard-of organization without hesitation.
At that time, with his home destroyed and his tribe annihilated, leaving him alone like a wolf that had lost everything, Aogu had nowhere else to go.
In such circumstances, Aogu symbolically made one request—for help seeking revenge.
Although Ji Xing was powerful enough to break Wu Qi’s stone statue seal, Aogu nevertheless doubted his ability to defeat that guy, not forgetting the cosmic presence behind the Demon Clan.
But as he learned more about the Star Alliance, witnessing the prowess of Lord Star Lord time and again, Aogu’s thoughts changed; he saw hope for revenge.
Lord Jixing’s strength surpassed all his expectations.
The Star Alliance, initially seeming like a small organization within a civilization, had rapidly expanded in just a few decades into a colossal entity spanning two universes, controlling numerous Star Domains, a feat Aogu never dared to imagine.
Aogu began to feel fortunate for choosing to join this organization.
Now, he could be considered a senior figure within the organization, enjoying an exceptional status due to his superb forging skills.
Today, upon receiving information from Zhang Xiaoman, Aogu was momentarily stunned, then engulfed in joy.
He immediately set aside his work, rushing to the Original Realm at blazing speed.
In the Original Realm.
"That’s right! It’s him! Demon! This damned Demon! He’s the one who killed my tribe! I wouldn’t forget his appearance even if he turned to ashes!"
Aogu recognized Wu Qi as soon as he saw him, his bronze skin deepened by anger.
If not for Zhang Xiaoman being there, Aogu might have already lunged forward to dismember the Demon.
Wu Qi was now completely incapacitated, unable to resist.
Zhang Xiaoman directly handed him over to Aogu, the so-called judgment essentially letting Aogu take revenge himself.
To Zhang Xiaoman, a Demon like Wu Qi was undeserving of sympathy.
Moreover, Aogu was a member of the organization, and naturally, Zhang Xiaoman would stand up for him, having no reason to hinder this.
The outcome for Wu Qi needs no elaboration.
Zhang Xiaoman had one requirement for Aogu, to complete his revenge within the Original Realm, as his corpse could be utilized to foster the growth of the Original Realm Space.
After all, even as a Peak Lower God, the nutrients from his level could significantly enhance the Boundary Value of the Original Realm.
With matters here temporarily settled, Zhang Xiaoman couldn’t quite relax yet.
