Wu Qi's heart stirred slightly, and he said, "What is it?"
Chen Shi smiled and said, "Help me carry a tree back from the sea."
Wu Qi smiled, "Is it a deal?"
"It's a deal!"
Wu Qi sighed, thinking to himself, "After repaying the Slave King's kindness and eliminating the Heavenly Venerate with him, I will awaken those self-sealing Great Shang Immortals. Surely there are Imperial bloodlines among them. At that time, getting rid of the Slave King will give hope to the revival of Great Shang!"
Chen Shi took him to the Houde Palace in the underworld to seek an audience with Lady Houtu.
When Wu Qi saw Lady Houtu, he was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to pay his respects, saying, "Wu Qi, an unworthy descendant, pays homage to you, Earth Mother!"
Lady Houtu glanced at him and said with a smile, "So you know you are unworthy descendants. You moved here without worshiping this palace, deserving to be exterminated."
