The mountain giant's display of respect made him quite pleased, thinking that an ascender from the Lower Realm wasn't such a big deal after all.
It proudly lifted its head and spoke with authority:
"I am the Mountain God of this place!"
"So you're a deity here?"
Lin Heng was slightly surprised and then felt a burst of joy in his heart. He quickly continued to ask:
"Mountain God, over the past century, have there been any large-scale ascenders appearing here?"
The words of the Black Rakshasa earlier made Lin Heng quite worried about the safety of everyone on White Cliff Mountain.
Therefore, his tone of inquiry was rather urgent.
This immediately caused the Mountain God in front of him to furrow its stony wrinkles, adding a bit of sarcasm to its response.
"Large-scale ascenders?"
"Do you think ascenders are like cabbage?"
"Uh..." Lin Heng was at a loss for words and then quickly explained, "That's not what I meant."
