The Journey of Overthrowing the Celestial Emperor
Ch. 164 ~ Gnome

Zhang Ziyi was riding around Laohu, flying around somewhere. They were currently in the Upper Realm. The spiritual energy in this place was so concentrated, compared to the Middle Realm.

Some time flying, they accidentally found some people who were digging something. Strangely the body shape of these people is too small than humans in general. Intrigued, Zhang Ziyi then told Laohu to come down to watch over them.

"Auumm!" Laohu roars slowly. Nodding and then doing as his master commanded.

Smaller body shape than normal human. Their number is not small, but the small body does not make them abstain from working. They all seem to be persistent in digging.

Zhang Ziyi sharpened his vision. Intend to see clearly what objects are dug by them.

"This is a mine. These dwarves seem to be pulling a treasure there" muttered Zhang Ziyi. He was about to turn around and invite Laohu and Niao to approach the dwarves. But when he looked back at the place where Laohu had originally stood, he found no one there.

"Laohu!?"

Zhang Ziyi wanted to move in search of the fire tiger, but for a moment he collapsed on the ground.

"A–what happened to you?" Zhang Ziyi felt dizzy. Before he finally became unconscious.

This in itself happens because when in the dimensional hallway, they get into trouble there. But they only felt the effects at this moment.

***

The morning sun showed himself. Lighten nature and remove the darkness that originally dominated.

Zhang Ziyi woke up. He realized that he was currently surrounded by many dwarves. He intended to move, but he was bound by a rope. The cords themselves ran all over his body.

Most damn, he didn't even put on any clothes at all. Naked and witnessed by the many dwarves.

Zhang Ziyi turned to his right and left side, looking around for the whereabouts of his two subordinates.

Until he saw those little guys who were pulling something. For a moment, it appeared that the object pushed by those people turned out to be Laohu.

Laohu was tightly bound, some nails were also stuck in his body. Lying in a tied state on a large wooden board and having four wheels. Laohu himself was unconscious at this moment.

A few moments later, Niao's small body is seen on a wooden board and is also in a bonded state. It didn't take many dwarves to push Niao. For his body is too small and light.

"He's awake!! Everyone beware!!!" Shouted one of the informing everyone below that great creature was currently conscious.

Zhang Ziyi frowned when he saw the many dwarf creatures that began to climb up his body. In their hands were weapons of axes, swords and spears all pointed at Zhang Ziyi.

In a flash, Zhang Ziyi had managed to learn of his current situation. He was caught by a small creature, the size of a thumb and has a face different from humans in general. Their faces themselves seem fierce, with a few wrinkles on the edge of their eyes.

"Hohoho, little buddy. You relax... I didn't mean to and have no intention of hurting you!" Zhang Ziyi tried to interact with these dwarves.

"You fraud... You are part of the Orb race!" say back to the dwarf. He showed Zhang Ziyi's nose with his tiny hands.

"Ras Orb?" Zhang Ziyi repeated the man's words, his two eyebrows furrowed.

"Not lie! You're from the Orb race, aren't you? Who came here to be spies of our race... Tch!" The man spat on Zhang Ziyi's body.

Just that contact made Zhang Ziyi unable to accept. The last time he was spat on by his adoptive cousin, Zhang Lou. But after that there was never again a person who dared to spit at him. And now, a small creature even spit at him.

"I'm being friendly, doesn't mean you can treat me as good as your–!" Zang Ziyi got up from her originally lying position.

The ropes were in fact not enough to withstand Zhang Ziyi's movements. He did not even feel the slightest trouble to wake up.

The dwarves who had originally climbed up Zhang Ziyi's body began to fall down. Zhang Ziyi took a seated stance, he threw his gaze around. It looks like a city but it is very small.

The little guys are moving back. They threw hundreds of arrows at once towards Zhang Ziyi's body. Unfortunately those arrows were useless in the slightest against Zhang Ziyi's body.

Not even touching his skin, those arrows had been knocked down first by the War God Armor.

Zhang Ziyi put on a knotty smile. He got up, stood up. Wearing a shirt from the new space ring after he left.

Approaching Laohu and Niao who were still sound asleep. Zhang Ziyi released golden energy from the tip of his index finger. The energy shot out and instantly approached Niao and Laohu's bodies.

Originally emanated a golden radiance that shone on the bodies of Zhang Ziyi's two pets, before it dimmed. Both Niao and Laohu regained their senses.

"Rawwr!!"

Laohu immediately bared his fangs when he saw the many small creatures scattered before his eyes.

He rebelled, the rope that was originally full on his body just broke off. Almost Laohu unleashed a burst of flames towards the dwarves. But he immediately stopped his intention upon hearing Zhang Ziyi's warning.

"Stop, Laohu! Don't make the matter too far!" reprimand Zhang Ziyi.

Laohu nodded. He flew and circled in the air. On the other hand, Niao had also regained consciousness. He flew towards Zhang Ziyi and perched on his master's shoulder.

"We have no business with your group. And don't you dare anyone to prevent our move." Zhang Ziyi spoke coldly. He walked straight and intended to leave those dwarves.

"Wait a minute, noble creature!" One call, but the person called does not want to turn and continue in his footsteps.

He had to recall Zhang Ziyi.

Three calls, only after did Zhang Ziyi stop his footsteps. He turned around and turned his head towards the dwarf creature. Seemed old and surrounded by other dwarf creatures, escorting the old man.

Seeing Zhang Ziyi willing to hear his cry, made the old dwarf beast breathe a sigh of relief, and put on a smile.

"E–eh Noble Creature... I want to talk to Sir. Related to serious problems!" he said it straight to the point.

Zhang Ziyi guessed that this person was the leader of this dwarf race. He turned around and was about to resume his steps, spouting out words.

"Important, but it has nothing to do with me!" Zhang Ziyi was indifferent.

"Aiii', how did he know!" the dwarf old man muttered in he started to worry, but still tried to communicate with Zhang Ziyi.

"Sir, please! I want to talk to you for a minute." His hope was instantly dashed when he saw Zhang Ziyi who ignored him just like that. But he did not give up and continued to beg.

Hearing the leader of the race who was so eager to speak to him, Zhang Ziyi then accepted the request from the leader of the race.

"Alright." he said briefly.

Hope has returned. The leader of the race instantly used some sort of artificial wing to balance his height with Zhang Ziyi.

"Before, introduce me Si Yao. The leader of the Gnome race!" Si Yao instantly introduced himself, he also cupped both hands in salute.

"Yes!" Zhang Ziyi replied with a nod of his head.

"Hehehe... Sir, let's follow me. We're talking in a more comfortable place!" si Yao said, with a small smile.

Zhang Ziyi felt suspicious seeing the behavior of this Gnome race leader. But he still showed a calm expression mldan chose to follow what he said. He followed where Si Yao took him.

-

"Mr Zhang... Earlier please forgive me for the actions of the members of my race who have tied up master as well as the two pet demon lords!" Si Yao started the conversation with a little stale.

"Tch, you don't have to say anything unimportant. I don't have time to pay for your–! Get to the point!" Zhang Ziyi said coldly.

Si You seemed to tremble as he felt a hint of aura emanating from Zhang Ziyi's body. But he soon took control of himself.

"Hehehe, Lord Ziyi need not be hasty like that. I'll have my members bring me drinks!"

Not waiting for Zhang Ziyi's response to his words earlier, Si Yao instantly called out to the few people who were behind him. He whispered to one of them, then told them to leave.

"What is your purpose in talking to me... If there's nothing important, I'll go. I haven't had time in this place all day!" Zhang Ziyi was getting annoyed.

"Hehehe... Master Ziyi need not rush. Drinks haven't come yet, please don't go first Mr. Ziyi. My members will find a glass that fits with Mr. Ziyi!"

After saying that, Ras Gnome Leader then began to tell a story. Tell me about the condition of these Gnomes. How they used to be not as small now. Although their body size was still small in the past, but not as small as it is today. They are now only the size of an adult's thumb.

They experienced this because they used to inhale the potions spread by the Orb race.

Long enough he told me. Although not interested, but Zhang Ziyi could catch one thing, that this Gnome Race had a problem with the Orb Race.

"The little old man is pretty clever. Holding me here for long because I want me to protect them from that Orb race!" inner Zhang Ziyi.

"Are you done?" zhang Ziyi asked. He also did not need an answer from Si Yao. Then he got up from his seat and stepped out.

"Eh–eh Mr ... I'm sorry for your discomfort. Fine, I'll explain to you regarding my purpose in getting you to talk!"

Unfortunately Zhang Ziyi remained indifferent.he continued walking.

"No need to tell me. I already know!" zhang Ziyi said coldly. He continued walking.

However, Zhang Ziyi did not go any further when he sensed the presence of thousands of people surrounding this Gnome race village.

"Very fast!" muttered.

"Great, they've come... Sir please listen to me for a moment!" You looked panicked.

"What do I need to hear. Everything is clear. You're holding me back, just because you want me to help you fight these people, right?" Zhang Ziyi raised next to his brows.

"Tch, you who have accused us of being part of your mortal enemy, even until someone dares to spit on me. If only I wasn't among the patient ones, maybe your people have made satay now!"

"Ma–forgive us, Master!"
