I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night-Chapter 1211 - 640: The Awakening of All Gods and Changes in the Mortal World
"Even the most intricate plan might have unexpected occurrences... The appearance of the Tribulation Ash Grand Sect Master was beyond your expectations!"
Lin Yan said indifferently, "If Xiaoyue knew about this and was willing to cooperate, then so be it! But you kept it from my niece, using her life as bait. It seems I’ve been dead for ten years, and people have forgotten about me..."
"Saint Master..."
Hong Xiao’s face changed dramatically, hurriedly bowed down, and said softly, "This was a decision by the Holy Alliance’s higher-ups, I opposed it, but I don’t have the authority to veto it..."
"Higher-ups’ decision?"
Lin Yan’s eyes were cold, and he said, "The current Holy Alliance higher-ups are apparently very different from those of the past."
"The Alliance Hierarch has not awoken since then, while the Supreme Commander of the Demon Suppression Department’s Main Hall suddenly lost control seven years ago."
Hong Xiao took a deep breath, then said, "Since ten years ago, following that bolt of thunder, heaven and earth have drastically changed."
"Many Old Gods have been awakening one after another, eradicating the notion of the Guardian God born from human incense."
"The Old Gods’ influence has affected the Human Clan, creating the Tribulation Ash, and borrowing the power of the Divine Spirit, they openly seized the authority over the Human Clan."
"The current Holy Alliance structure is vastly different from before."
"In the northern area of Prince Zhen Nan’s Royal City within the Holy Alliance, the Tribulation Ash has openly become a prominent force."
Hong Xiao fell silent for a while, then said softly, "Our Human Clan offers incense to the Divine Spirits, but now the Old Gods have awakened, and the drawbacks have become evident."
The drawback is that, even though the incense Guardian God within the Old Gods’ bodies is completely annihilated, countless Human Clan citizens still regard the ’Old God’ in their city as their Venerate.
In their eyes, the Divine Spirit is only a Guardian God.
But in reality, these Divine Spirits have already awakened their old consciousness.
They cannot directly attack the Human Clan.
But they can significantly develop Tribulation Ash.
Nowadays, the Tribulation Ash is no longer a group of rats hiding in the gutter.
They are envoys of the gods, seen as chosen geniuses of heaven by countless Human Clan citizens.
Lin Yan furrowed his brow and said, "Even those Human Martial Saints born from the Upper Heaven cannot suppress them?"
"Initially, they could suppress them, but they do rely on the Divine Spirit after all."
Hong Xiao fell silent for a moment, then said, "The means of the Old Gods were such that even the Human Martial Saints of the Upper Heaven were helpless! The Human Clan cannot oppose All Gods..."
"After this matter, I shall personally visit Heavenly Destiny City."
Lin Yan said coldly, "But there must be a conclusion to this matter before us."
As his voice fell, he suddenly snapped his fingers.
The proud Grand Sect Master of the Three Prefectures’ Tribulation Ash didn’t even have time for more words.
Before being able to display his true skills, he was utterly annihilated by that saber light Great Array under a single finger snap.
"..."
Hong Xiao’s pupils shrank.
Even though he had seen that scene where the Saint Master opposed the Heavenly God’s evil demons years ago,
it was after all revealed through treasures like the Hundred Generation Mirror, Thousand-Life Mirror, and Eternal Mirror.
But today, a Human Martial Saint vanquished in mere finger snap without any chance to resist!
This kind of means, isn’t it comparable to an Immortal God?
After ten years without sight, has the Saint Master indeed attained godhood?
"Today not only revealed the remnants of the Celestials, but also brought out the remnants of the Tribulation Ash."
Lin Yan said, "Since the appearance of the Tribulation Ash was beyond the Holy Alliance’s expectation, why haven’t you gone to support various sides and reduce Human Clan casualties?"
Hong Xiao hastily bowed and retreated, his heart darkly muttering, "After all, I couldn’t prevent this matter, ultimately letting Lin Xiaoyue become a piece of bait... If not for considering old friendship and today’s merit of protection, I’m afraid the Saint Master wouldn’t easily forgive me, but after today, the friendship between the Saint Master and I would probably be thin as water."
Watching the other leave, Lin Yan withdrew his gaze.
"Greetings, Saint Master!"
The trusted aides from Sky Eagle City hurriedly came forward, all prostrating, their tone excited, their eyes full of fervent light.
"You are commendable, maintain your inner heart in the future."
Lin Yan spoke, reached out his hand, took a saber from a Tribulation Ash corpse out of thin air.
In the blink of an eye, the blade shattered into over a dozen pieces of iron fragments, scattering in front of these ten trusted aides.
"This contains the saber technique accomplishment of yours truly; observe carefully, maybe you will comprehend something."
Lin Yan said, then looked at Lin Xiaoyue.
Only to see Lin Xiaoyue staring at him directly, blinking, rubbing her palm, hesitating to speak.
"What do you mean by this?" Lin Yan fell silent for a moment, then asked aloud.
"You’re my dear uncle, but after all, ten years haven’t seen you, it feels a bit distant."
Lin Xiaoyue rubbed her palm and said softly, "First give a little greeting gift to bridge the gap, you’ve given them meeting gifts after all... ouch, it hurts!"
With a thud!
Lin Xiaoyue covered her forehead, full of grievance.
Lin Yan couldn’t help but let out a laugh, "I see you’re not distant, but rather shameless."
Continuing, Lin Yan said again, "Your performance earlier was decent, didn’t embarrass me, during the critical moment of life and death, the performance was commendable... after returning, I’ll protect you, you could possibly try Creation."
Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes brightened, she immediately pounced forward, shaking his hand, giggling said, "Really? I was so scared just now, I really thought I was about to kick the bucket..."
"Saint Master... Saint Master... I am still here..."
At that moment, Huaizun waved his branches, continually cried.
Lin Yan casually waved, the Ten-Region Thunder Sealing Array immediately shattered.
He then looked at the locust tree unseen for many years, his thoughts inevitably reminiscing.
That night was his first night exiting the city.
And that night, he encountered the red-clothed lady and obtained the Nirvana Divine Egg.
Later he planned to leave the city to worship, but Huaizun, upon hearing his name as a Killing Star, had already uprooted himself, and fled overnight.
Following Lin Yan advancing, he said with interest, "I heard in recent years, you’ve been telling people that you cut off one of my arms?"
"No... it’s just rumors..."
Huaizun hastily waved his branches, whispering, "Little Hua was merely mentioning that your arm accidentally broke that night, then put it back on."
"Forget it, considering these years you’ve also protected the passing Human Clan, receiving incense, yet never lost control, I won’t hold this against you."
Lin Yan said, "Years ago I owed you a ritual, today I’ll repay it, what sacrificial offering do you want?"
"No need... no need..."
Huaizun hastily waved his branches, promptly refusing.
But not far off, suddenly a thunder flashed, a one-horned Kui Bull approached.
Having just escaped from the Ten-Region Thunder Sealing Net, Huaizun couldn’t help but jump in shock, hastily shouted, "A bull controlling thunder? Such a powerful demon... Saint Master, slay it quickly!"
"Why would you slay me?"
Niu Yan approached and, upon hearing this, was suddenly alarmed.
"Of course, it’s for the ritual offering."
Little White Ape flew in from afar and said softly, "Ah Niu, you arrived late, years ago, the master owed a favor, small kindness should be repaid greatly, people have taken a fancy to you, looks like the master can only sacrifice you in pain..."
"Nonsense, why not use the monkey brain?"
Niu Yan flew into a rage, thunder erupted everywhere.
"..."
Under the authority, Huaizun hastily contained his Qi Mechanism, muttering, "Heard about the White Ape, but this bull... could they be subdued by the Saint Master?"
He waved his branches, whispered, "Saint Master, how about allowing Little Hua to serve you?"
Little White Ape trembled internally and shouted, "No way, our family already has a tree."
Niu Yan grunted angrily, "Where is this seductive wicked tree from, harboring ill motives!"
"This..."
Upon hearing this, Huaizun couldn’t help feeling a bit defeated but the next moment, he remembered something, his branches danced, and said, "Then Little Hua has only one request left..."
"Speak!"
Lin Yan said aloud.
"Old Master, could you give me another saber strike?"
Huaizun whispered, "Years ago that saber strike, Little Hua knew, actually, Old Master held back, so the saber cut wasn’t big enough, the saber scar not deep enough, your Qi Mechanism was preserved less..." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
He cautiously said, "Could you, this time, not cut, but stab me directly, preferably stab me right through."
"..."
Lin Yan fell silent.
But just as he was about to respond.
He suddenly felt a shock in his heart.
Promptly opened the Heavenly Eye on his forehead, looking towards the Taixuan Divine Mountain direction, spoke deeply, "What a Medicine Gatherer, merely casually plotting, yet calculating all... Could this be an alternative Godhood Method?"
