Wu Jie trembled in the presence of these mighty beings who slowly began to descend from the golden sky they appeared from.
That must have been the gateway to the realm of the transcendent.
He couldn't believe he had peeked into such a profound reality!
The beings numbered four, and while they were clearly in a different league from him, overwhelming all his senses with their mere presence, he couldn't detect how powerful they really were.
He knew they existed out of his scope, and groveling was all he and his comrades could do.
"Greetings. $& (¢=~ #$ peace." Wu Jie couldn't really understand the languages of the transcendent ones, save a few words they uttered.
They, as mortals, were taught the Divine Language, but their kinds could only comprehend some sentences and phrases at best.
They couldn't completely understand all of it.
'It is regrettable, but most of the God King's words are lost to our understanding...'
With more time, they would be able to learn more about the Divine Language, but for now, they were limited.
'But since the divine ones have spoken, then we need to say the next thing we were taught.'
"We greet you all, and welcome you to our humble realm. If you so desire, we shall take you to our leader and he will be able to aid you, unlike our limited selves."
Wu Jie heard some murmurs from among the transcendent ones.
He couldn't quite pick what they were saying, but he heard a few words like;
"... Speaking weirdly..."
"Can't understand...?"
"... Speak....language..."
"Maybe... leader...?"
He realized a fatal error he had made in his judgement instantly, and his eyes widened the moment the truth came to him.
'Are they upset that we know the Divine Language?!'
Of course! Costly pearls weren't meant for pigs. The words of the gods did not belong to mere men, after all.
Not all transcendent beings were as benevolent as the God King, so they were currently in dangerous waters.
Wu Jie gulped and slowly decided to help his comrades as much as possible, though he knew the consequences of his failure.
With quivering lips, he uttered words that he could mash up together to properly convey the meaning he desired.
"We know not Divine Language. God King show us. Some. Not all. We greet you, transcendent beings. God King is transcendent too."
The God King once told them that he was going to bear responsibility for all of them. And that meant if they told these transcendent beings that it was according to his discretion, they would definitely understand.
"I see..." Wu Jie heard one of the transcendent ones utter.
This transcendent being drew closer to Wu Jie, sending his heart racing instantly.
'D-did I offend them by speaking the Divine Language incorrectly? Have I doomed my comrades?'
Sweat poured all over his face, and he found his throat to be dry.
Panic gripped his chest, but he could do nothing but grovel harder as the transcendent ones drew closer.
He could only plead that he and his comrades would be spared.
"Relax..." He heard the transcendent being speak, and then a light sensation coursed through his head.
"# _-@+ hurt you."
The transcendent being touched his head, and a sudden feeling coursed through him.
It was instant, and while Wu Jie thought he would die from the interaction, the experience did not hurt at all.
In no time, it was all over.
"Ah... so your name is Wu Jie. I see. I understand now."
'Huh? He's speaking the mortal language?!' Wu Jie's thoughts echoed within him.
How could he do that?!
Even the God King never spoke in the Mortal Tongue. Everyone thought it was impossible for the Divine Ones to utter Mortal language, so they instead decided to acclimate to the words of the Divine.
'Y-yet, he uttered it?!'
Could it be that this transcendent being was... no, that couldn't be!
None was Superior to the God King!
"As I thought... it's Edward." Wu Jie heard the transcendent being murmur, and then, he felt a light feeling coursing through him.
"You can all lift your heads. It's fine."
Wu Jie felt reluctant to do so, but he knew better than to refuse the words of a transcendent one.
His comrades also had a similar understanding, so they all lifted their heads at the same time.
And as a result, they laid eyes on the divine beings.
They all looked magnificent—adorned in fancy wears, compared to their disheveled states. Their faces were clear, and their skins were fresh.
They were just like the God King—no, they looked even more prestigious!
'N-no! No one is more prestigious than the God King!'
The four divine ones had two males and two females in their ranks.
Among the boys;
One had golden hair, and the other had yellow hair.
Among the girls;
One had yellow hair, and the other had dark brown hair.
They were all marvelous-looking. The one who spoke in their language was the boy with yellow hair, and while Wu Jie thought he looked very young, he could sense the age in the transcendent one's eyes.
'They truly are like the God King.'
"You can speak to me in your language, Wu Jie. It's fine. We come in peace as well, so there's no need to be frightened."
The warm feeling in his heart resonated with what the young man said, causing him to nod instantly.
He instantly knee he could trust the transcendent in front of him.
How fortunate for his people! The transcendental beings were good, not bad.
The God King was going to be pleased!
"T-thank you for your consideration, Transcendent ones. We are most grateful." Wu Jie and his comrades bowed their heads.
Truly, gratitude flooded his heart.
"Haha! It's alright. So, you were mentioning something about a God King earlier."
Wu Jie instantly nodded and repeated what he told them earlier in his own native language.
That is; the God King was a transcendent being like them, and he would really love to meet with them.
As expected, the Transcendent one smiled instantly. It seemed he was truly pleased by those words.
"That's perfect! I would also love to meet him." The yellow-haired male one uttered, a warm glow sparkling in his eyes.
"Lead us to your God King."
