Chapter 1472: Chapter 1160: Long Yi’s Pet
With a grunt, the piglet was born in the small town where Long Yi resided, and it was taken away by the still childlike Long Yi as soon as it was weaned. Like all the townsfolk, the livestock were tagged—though everyone was neighborly, having clear markers still saved a lot of trouble. Long Yi had never raised pigs before, and since this was the only one, he didn’t bother to build a pigpen and simply raised it by his side, feeding it whatever he ate. Because it spent so much time with Long Yi, the Giant’s power gradually infiltrated its body.
At that time, Long Yi discovered that the little pig also possessed the Giant’s power, so he began to experiment with it in various ways. Of course, back then, Long Yi didn’t use the inexplicably cutting-edge experimental methods he does now—the experiments were mostly based on various Giant spells.
Under the constant barrage of spells, the piglet, Hengheng, started to develop self-awareness. Of course, Long Yi didn’t know this at the time, and neither did Hengheng, to a large extent.
Then, Long Yi found Elsa and brought her back.
When Elsa was first brought back, she was extremely weak, and it took Long Yi many methods to help her recover, but surprisingly, her life force was still draining away. At that time, Long Yi didn’t know many spells, and his knowledge of Giants was limited, so he could only apply life-boosting and energy-enhancing spells to Elsa incessantly. Naturally, these spells had all been tested on Hengheng first.
However, these spells had no effect on Elsa. But they had a tremendous impact on Hengheng, the biggest of which was that it had actually started to stop growing! Previously, its growth pace had slowed down due to the influence of the Giant’s power, but now it had come to a complete halt. Not only that, it felt as though an inexplicable force was stirring inside its body.
In the end, Long Yi took drastic measures and handed over the source of the Giant’s power, the Giant’s Heart, to Elsa. And the moment the Giant’s Heart appeared, a mysterious power erupted within Hengheng, creating something inside it just like the Giant’s Heart.
"I call it the Crystallization of Friendship!"
Hengheng said proudly.
The corners of the Dark Saintess’s mouth twitched, but she eventually held back.
The Giant’s Heart brought new life to Elsa, and that Crystallization of Friendship suddenly burst with energy, sweeping Hengheng into a space-time rift. When Hengheng awoke, it had already arrived in the Divine Realm, and with decent intelligence and the pig’s inherent patience, it gradually adapted to the environment there. And that Crystallization of Friendship even helped it ascend to godhood!
Regrettably, as the Domestic Pig God, laziness was deeply ingrained in its very bones. It had never been too enthusiastic about seizing other Divine Statuses, so its power hadn’t grown much to this day. And this time, had it not been for its proximity and the sudden appearance of too many new gods, it really didn’t want to come.
It had intended to enjoy a great feast, but unexpectedly, it ended up being counterattacked instead.
The Dark Saintess was somewhat speechless.
Should we say it was lucky?
Clearly, those haphazard spells Long Yi used had been effective—perhaps a bit too effective. As for what that Crystallization of Friendship was, the Dark Saintess had no idea. She guessed only Long Yi himself would know. However, encountering Long Yi’s pet in the Divine Realm was indeed a bizarre tale.
"So, from now on, your name is Hengheng, and you’re my lackey," the Dark Saintess declared.
"Eh? I’m your lackey? Why? Your tone suggests you know Master Long Yi too. I grew up with Master Long Yi, we’re good friends, so what’s your relationship with him to make me your lackey?" Hengheng clearly disagreed.
"How about this, works for you?" The Light Cannon was once again pressed against its head, and the domestic pig Hengheng, about the size of a ball, very reluctantly signed a contract, officially becoming the Dark Saintess’s lackey.
"Ah, I’m really envious of Bajie, being a Demon Abyss Dragon, yet still having a very famous pig’s name. I’m clearly a pig, but I can only be called Hengheng," lamented Hengheng helplessly.
"Eh? How come you’ve stopped grunting?" the Dark Saintess suddenly remembered that Hengheng hadn’t been grunting lately.
"Because I’m thin now! It’s like humans snoring, I was big and fat at the time, so I grunted, why should I grunt when I’m this small!" Hengheng said, dissatisfied.
Compared to just before, the pink little pig Hengheng now looked much more adorable, with a group of Golems almost immediately crowding around—one wanted to hug, another wanted to pinch its ears. In the blink of an eye, the late-stage procrastinating Hengheng suddenly realized that this might not be too bad.
Just then, Hengheng suddenly looked up: "Be careful! The other gods have arrived!"
The Dark Saintess was quite surprised because she hadn’t felt anything yet. But then, waves of Divine Power fluctuations kept coming, and one god after another arrived before the Golems, each making their entrance in a different fashion.
"This is the Dark Divine Host? Though numerous, they seem quite insubstantial,"
said a god, appearing like a wisp of smoke.
"I even took a detour around this planet just now and didn’t detect any believers. Indeed, a group of new gods, still without time to cultivate followers."
