“Long ago, three thousand prisoners were forced to mine ore across Mosi Mountain . They were unable to leave until death claimed them . ” Kong Fei did not answer Duke Brilliant . All he did was say something that made no sense, given the current context .
But after Duke Brilliant heard what he was told, his face paled and he shouted, “Who are you!”
Kong Fei still did not answer . He kept going, saying, “Those three thousand prisoners were slaves, kept here forever . They would each die in the same bindings they were birthed into . After their deaths, the feathers between their wings were plucked . There were three thousand of them, and they provided the basis of this garment . ”
“Impossible… We already killed all the traitors a long time ago . Who are you?” Duke Brilliant’s eyes cut like blades . He looked as if he was ready to tear Kong Fei apart and slice-up all his organs .
But Kong Fei just smiled and took off his feather clothing . His upper body was naked, but two strange scars were visible on his back . They looked as if they could have been the slots where wings might have once existed, but they had been ripped off .
Duke Brilliant saw the scars on Kong Fei’s back, and when he did, his face changed . His eyes flared with the fire of murder, and he yelled, “I cannot believe there are traitors that yet remain! It is lucky you were able to live this long . How dare you appear here, having killed Feathers . You must die!”
After that, Duke Brilliant waited for no further reply . His body shone with the color gold, as his wings spread out like suns of their own . Their light shone across the area, and everything the light touched was turned into gold .
The rivers became solid and the rocks became clumps of pure gold . The entire vicinity became its own world of gold . Duke Brilliant was most certainly the god of this world .

Han Sen and Stay Up Late were in shock . They knew that everything happening was very bad, and such scary powers would be difficult to fend off . And if they themselves were turned into gold, they’d be killed immediately .
But before the gold light doused them, the white feathers Kong Fei had given them started glowing with a bright white light . The light was like a bubble that shielded their bodies from harm . The gold light was unable to penetrate the holy light .
Kong Fei stood on the ground and put on his feather clothes again . He ignored the gold light, and with much disdain, told their enemy, “Of the three thousand, only I am left . But the three thousand Feathers are still here, and I will seek vengeance for each of them . ”
“A traitor speaks of justice?” Duke Brilliant grunted . His wings flapped like gold suns, firing shockwaves through the atmosphere .
Each time the wings flapped, Duke Brilliant became stronger . His body wasn’t so big, but it did seem as if it was becoming larger . He was taking on the appearance of a statue, as he stood there upon the mountain .
Han Sen and Kong Fei were like ants before him . It was quite scary .
In the homes of the powerful Feather families, there were seven Kings and a number of Dukes watching the video relay of a satellite imaging system . They were watching what was happening on Mosi Mountain .
When they saw the scars on Kong Fei’s back, they were all shocked .

King-Sky King, the ruler, frowned and said, “There were three thousand Feathers stuck in the mines of Mosi Mountain for their entire lifetime . They were all turned into dust, or so it was believed . How could one of them have survived?”
“My King, they did become dust . We could not have been incorrect, and the king in those days confirmed this . There were no survivors . Unless…” Song King stopped speaking there, and did not continue .
“Unless what?” King-Sky King asked coldly .
“Unless one of them had a baby inside the gold mine without us knowing . That child might not have been counted amongst the three thousand . But if it were in places such as the Eclipse Gold Mine, they could not have lived there . How could the prisoners have bred successfully? And if they did, the baby could not escape the eye of the watcher . It could not have survived and lived . It just makes no sense . ” Song King shook his head .
“This person appearing now is pointless . Just go ahead and kill him, and get this done . ” Holy Column King did not move his eyebrows as he spoke, he just said things lackadaisically .
All the other kings agreed, and they proceeded to watch the video .
Duke Brilliant was like a Buddha as he tried repeatedly to strike Kong Fei with his palm . The golden palms covered the entire sky, like a golden palace was falling . The shadows they cast were abyssal, shrouding the landscape in darkness .
Kong Fei’s eyes did not move . He just pulled out a white feather and drew across the sky .

A small white light rose into the air . It cut the giant hand . A lesion appeared across it and grew bigger until it was revealed that the hand had been sliced in half . Gold blood started to cascade .
“Argh!”
The scream was incredibly loud, but the hand did not stop descending . A small white line traced up the hand, down the arm, and across the body that the arm connected to . Duke Brilliant’s gold body was cut open, splitting in two .
The earth was shaking as the blood rained from the sky with the force of a river . Mountains and rivers were further dyed with the gold blood . Only the white feathers looked new and undrenched, without a speck of blood on them .
Han Sen and Stay Up Late were surprised . For him to have killed a Duke so easily, Kong Fei had to have been a King . The many Kings and Nobles were in shock . Song King himself looked dim and said, “I cannot believe that hybrid managed to become a King . ”
“Leader, please grant me permission to fight the hybrid . ” One King stepped forward, looking murderous .
“Killing a hybrid like this will require thunder . I will fight alongside you . ” Holy Column King stood up, asking King-Sky King for permission to depart
Before he replied, Kong Fei waved his white feather again . Mosi Mountain, which was a thousand meters high, was sundered in two by the same feather .
Below the thousand-meter-high mountain were thousands of nameless graves . If the mountain had not been broken, no one would ever have known . And yet, so many lives were buried there .
Kong Fei walked in front of the nameless graves, and just when Han Sen thought he was going to pray for them, Kong Fei grabbed his clothes and shook them .
The clothes exploded in the air . The feathers scattered all across the graves .
The feathers flew onto the graves and exploded . They revealed the bones that lay hidden beneath .
The bones were rotten, and many had been reduced to nothing but dust . Two feathers landed on each grave .
“Three thousand years of hope-sapped waiting . Three thousand years of sadness and injustice . Three thousand years of humiliation . I am going to win it all back . You guys will not need to wait for me any longer . You don’t need to stay in this world any longer . ”
