Fang Jie gathered his belongings, living in constant fear that a god-level being might suddenly make a move against him.
This could be from the opposing side or even his own side; who knows the specifics?
Fang Jie wouldn't even show up for trades personally, instead sending one of his subordinates, a newly ascended demigod. While this might come off as somewhat disrespectful, no one dared to voice any complaints nowadays.
After all, needing something from Fang Jie, even sending someone of Gold rank to trade wouldn't warrant any objections.
They themselves could also send their subordinates; these matters are of no consequence.
Fang Jie also avoided staying with the Mountain and River Spirits; while it might be troublesome to take them away, it ensured his safety. Even if someone suddenly attacked, at most only the Mountain and River Spirits would die.
The loss might be significant, but compared to losing his life, it seemed quite trivial.
