Sword God in a World of Magic

For the first time in five years, Shang's real body moved.

As soon as Shang regained control over his body, he felt many tiny things moving over him.

Insects.

They thought that Shang was a corpse, and they were trying to eat him. However, Shang's body was simply too powerful, making it pointless.

Nevertheless, Shang released his Domain of Entropy for a moment to get rid of them.

Over the five years, Shang's black piece of cloth that covered his left eye socket had deteriorated, gaining several more holes.

Shang's hair reached his butt, but he didn't really care about that.

More concerning was the long, humongous beard adorning his face.

Shang moved his body around, but when he cracked his jaw, some of the hairs on his beard entered, and Shang had to cough several times.

'I hate beards for exactly that reason!'

Shang grabbed Sword and quickly got rid of his beard.

He decided to leave his hair. He never really had such long hair before, and he wanted to try it out before cutting off five years of "work".

As for Shang's facial features and body…

They hadn't changed.

Shang was already an adult, and he could live for over 250 years.

Five years counted as barely more than one year for a normal person.

Nevertheless, he was 27 now.

'This means I have been in this world for around 13 years already.'

'Somehow, it doesn't feel that long.'

'Anyway, I should get a beast heart.'

Shang slowly dug out of the sandy ground and entered the Tide Serpent Zone again.

Five years had passed, but nothing had changed down here.

Just like last time, Shang felt like time didn't exist in this lake.

Nothing in the world mattered down here.
