Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 410 - 156: Nanjun Trembles! The Sin of Slaying a True God! (10,000-word mega - , subscribe please)_1
Suddenly, a statue of an Underworld Judge appeared among the mortals, even larger than the evil spirit phantom that had been looming behind Fan Wu.
At the very moment the statue appeared, everyone felt as if they were being watched by a gaze.
While basking in this gaze, they felt as if none of their secrets could remain hidden.
It even seemed as though matters from their past lives were laid bare by that look.
This made everyone present feel quite uncomfortable.
One by one... they all looked at the enormous statue of the Underworld Judge that had appeared so unexpectedly with eyes filled with immense shock.
The sense of oppression the statue exuded...
Left them all greatly alarmed!
Cold sweat poured out in torrents!
"My lord... What on earth has Daoist Priest Fan done... Why has a statue suddenly appeared? I remember just now Daoist Priest Fan seemed to have used something to make a mark. Then, it seemed that he tore open a gap in a place in front of us."
A Little Banner Officer, supporting the Chief Flag Officer of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, found it hard to contain the extreme shock in his heart and exclaimed in astonishment, "Then... then this statue appeared? Is this... doesn’t it look like a statue of an Underworld Judge?"
"Indeed, it is the statue of an Underworld Judge... This must be one of the Underworld Judges, and most likely a true deity," the Chief Flag Officer swallowed nervously, realizing he had seen far too many "big shots" today.
So many that he was somewhat overwhelmed, feeling that the events of tonight...
Would probably stay with him for the rest of his life.
The Chief Flag Officer took a deep breath, his tone filled with shock and a heavy sense of astonishment, "If I did not see wrongly just now, what Daoist Priest Fan was holding in his hand must be a City God’s Command!"
"City God’s Command?" The Little Banner Officer next to him stared wide-eyed, "The legendary City God’s Command?!"
"Indeed," said the Chief Flag Officer, "But why would this City God’s Command summon an Underworld Judge instead?"
As he said this, he too was somewhat perplexed.
The City God’s Command, something so special that even records of it are scarcely found in books, seems to imply by its very name – even if it could truly summon a true deity – shouldn’t it be summoning a City God instead?
Summoning an Underworld Judge, what does that mean?
The Chief Flag Officer didn’t quite understand.
The old Taoist Priest from Guyuan County didn’t quite understand either. Since he was at a distance, he couldn’t even make out what object Fan Wu was holding in his hand; he only saw Fan Wu make a strange gesture.
And then...
An Underworld Judge!
Appeared!
...
"Was it summoned by him? Or because he killed a God of the Earth, another true deity nearby noticed and came to seek retribution from him?" The old Taoist Priest murmured two possibilities, as logic suggested to him that the second one... might be more likely, right?
After all... that man, whose name he didn’t know, had slain a true deity!
Having committed such a heinous and unforgivable act, it would be normal for other deities to come looking for trouble, surely?
But for some reason, he also had this feeling – could it be that this suddenly appeared Underworld Judge was summoned by him?
Even if he didn’t summon it, this Underworld Judge’s appearance was surely closely related to this man, right?
At the very least, it was this man who intentionally called upon it.
Hiss!
This... Is this probability really significant?
The old Taoist Priest was enveloped in confusion.
Because the latter sounded like a murderer who suddenly decides to call over the constable from the county yamen. What’s the difference between that and courting death? Hence, he was utterly baffled.
He couldn’t grasp it at all.
...
"Boss! Boss! Another deity... has... has... appeared! A deity of immense stature!" Another soldier from Guyuan County, pointing at the towering statue of the Underworld Judge, cried out in shock and disbelief.
"Are you tired of living, kid!" His boss, clad in shabby armor, urgently cried out before slapping down the soldier’s hand that was pointing.
Then he lowered his voice and reprimanded through gritted teeth, "If you know that’s a new deity, do you think you can afford to point at him? That’s an act of disrespect amounting to a monstrous crime against heaven!"
Upon hearing his boss’s reprimand, the soldier also suddenly came to his senses.
His appearance then turned to one of palpable fright and relief.
The man wilted completely, like an eggplant hit by frost.
Daring not to speak another word, nor make any further excessive motions.
He became entirely silent.
As quiet as a quail.
...
"Amitabha... The Earth Deity has appeared, the Underworld Judge has appeared... What on earth is today about? Could it be that next, it will be time for a bodhisattva from our Buddhist Sect to appear?"
A shaven-headed Big Monk from within Guyuan County couldn’t help but chant the Buddha’s name, his trembling hands telling everyone that he couldn’t calm the endless terror within his heart.
Although he was a member of the Buddhist Sect, he was well aware that the position of an Underworld Judge was much higher than that of an Earth Deity.
The successive appearance of higher-ranking deities, what does it mean?
"Amitabha... I can’t make any sense of it..."
The shaven-headed Big Monk shook his head in confusion, but he was certain of one thing: the events that transpired tonight in Guyuan County... it wouldn’t be long before they spread throughout the entire Great Zhou Dynasty’s Nanjun.
