I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night-Chapter 1236 - 652: Evil God Walking in the Deceit Night! (Part 2)
"In many cases, the chaos within the Human Clan doesn’t come from Tribulation Ash, but from the human heart."
The Heavenly God King said this.
The next moment, the glow of incense gradually faded away.
Lin Yan’s eyes were heavy, understanding the other’s meaning in his heart.
"Master, does He mean..." Niu Yan muttered, "it’s deliberately done by the humans of Feng City!"
"Feng City is the granary of the Human Clan, so the entire Feng City is highly valued."
Lin Yan mused, "Since the establishment of Feng City, the resources provided by the Human Clan have been extremely abundant! And those dispatched to Feng City are mostly elite..."
He took a deep breath and said, "If the Ten Thousand Life Tree can be planted in large quantities, the food source of the Human Clan wouldn’t be under such immense pressure! In this way, invisibly, the status of Feng City would decrease..."
——
Qifeng Prefecture City, Observatory Headquarters.
The young man with white hair suddenly punched, shattering the table in front of him.
His face was as dark as can be.
He possessed the True Dragon Spine, and at this moment dragon power unfolded, causing all present to be terrified.
"I thought that all the interceptive killings surrounding the Ten Thousand Life Tree arose from Tribulation Ash, from Celestials, yet I didn’t anticipate it was purely due to the ambitions of those degenerates..."
This Supreme Commander looked extremely sullen and said, "No wonder the Night Watchers haven’t been able to uncover any information, it turns out the calamity stems purely from the Human Clan!"
He scanned the crowd and slowly said, "The demons are still here, the Deceit Night persists, the Gods and Demons are reviving, and the future of the Human Clan is still unseen... Yet today, people are ignoring the whole clan for personal gain!"
"Issue the order to withdraw the entire Feng City Sky Observation Bureau, from Commander down to the Little Flag."
"I will personally go to Feng City!"
"Anyone involved in the case will not be spared."
"The plot in Feng City has no reason to be hidden from our Observatory Headquarters, among you... whoever is involved, confess now, and I’ll make it quick."
"If there’s any concealment, once I find out, your family and close friends will be implicated!"
As his voice fell, the young man’s white hair and his eyes turned ice-cold to the extreme.
The Saint Master had disappeared for ten years, just recently returned to the world, and in just a few days had uncovered such a major case.
Yet for the past ten years, he, as the Observatory Commander, was kept in the dark.
What emerged in his heart at that moment was not just anger!
But an endless shame!
The last Commander had intended to pass this True Dragon Spine to the Saint Master!
And the Saint Master, with humility, ceded the position of Commander to him.
In ten years, he thought he had led Qifeng Prefecture to surpass its former peace and stability under his governance.
But the Saint Master, with just a few days, told him, the decade of peace had already been riddled with problems.
And these problems did not arise from demons, nor from Tribulation Ash or Celestials, but from the true Human Clan.
This young man with white hair, filled with overwhelming dragon power, swept his gaze around and said in a deep voice, "Within seven days, I want a complete closure report to be delivered to High Willow City, to give the Saint Master an explanation!"
——
And Lin Yan left Feng City, traversing various places, reaching Li City, Jinhai City... even arriving at East Mountain Prefecture, revisiting the old land. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
The remnants of the Old God in Li City were still there, not reincarnated, but like Liu Shen, they wanted to seize the authority and extinguish the Guardian God of the Human Clan.
Lin Yan took action and destroyed this Old God’s remnant.
The Old God’s remnant in Jinhai City remained, intending to follow the path of the Heavenly God King, shedding its shell, and reincarnating into the Netherworld.
However, the incense within was insufficient to refine into a Guardian God of the Human Clan.
On the contrary, it became a burden, unable to break free, constrained to the old god’s body.
Lin Yan completed it by offering three sticks of incense, assisting it in perfecting as a Guardian God, creating a New God.
Then he destroyed the Old God’s remnant.
Afterwards, Lin Yan ventured through various places and returned to the Forbidden Land of East Mountain Prefecture as before.
It was only a wasteland.
"Marquis Lingyou absorbed this Forbidden Land into himself..."
Lin Yan said, "This guy is a Ghost God from the Netherworld, not a mortal cultivator."
He narrowed his gaze slightly, swept over with a glance, and immediately left.
The current Lord of East Mountain Prefecture has been replaced by another generation.
The previous Lord, Xu Changyi, was bestowed the fire by Lin Yan, which granted him combat power at the Refining God Realm.
But Xu Changyi died in battle three years ago.
The fire remains in the Mortal World, passing from one generation to another.
Through Xu Changyi’s generation, the current successor of the fire, the new Lord, has battle power at the Peak of Refining God Realm.
Under this Lord’s leadership, Lin Yan cleared out the demons and faced old gods.
Currently, there are roughly two types of Old Gods.
One kind is in the realm of Land Immortals, similar to Liu Zun.
The other kind is Fallen True Gods from the Heavenly Court.
Facing Land Immortals, Lin Yan typically chooses to extinguish their old remnants and enhance the Guardian God of incense.
But when facing Heavenly Gods, unless there is a full-scale war, he cannot both preserve the body of the Heavenly God and extinguish the old god’s remnants.
Moreover, Lin Yan’s combat power barely reaches the realm of Heavenly Gods.
And many of the Heavenly Gods he encounters are exceedingly strong, with some even being Upper Celestial Gods!
In the face of these Heavenly Gods, even in a full-scale war, Lin Yan is not their match.
Thus, when facing Heavenly Gods, Lin Yan chooses to sign a new contract, forcing them to continue to guard the Human Clan.
"Back in the day, when Marquis Lingyou retreated from the Mortal World, surprisingly, a vast majority, about six to seven out of ten, of the Divine Spirits in East Mountain Prefecture managed to shed their shells and reincarnate..."
Lin Yan’s gaze grew immensely heavy as he thought, "The plan of the Netherworld is even greater than we anticipated."
——
Throughout this journey, Lin Yan did not stay too long in any place.
He had traversed the lands of the Three Prefectures of the South Mountain Sacred Land.
Wherever there were Old Gods, he had visited.
Those willing to protect the Human Clan signed the old covenant.
Those unwilling were eradicated if possible.
The ones unable to be destroyed were silently noted by Lin Yan, leaving them for after he achieved Immortality to come back and eliminate.
However, there were still some Old Gods who were not bound by limits.
They could roam the world, conceal themselves in various locations, avoiding Lin Yan.
"The gods are unwilling to come forth into the world, or walk among it because this world is full of endless strangeness..."
Lin Yan mused, "Avoiding the world, slumbering, borrowing human incense to prevent the further erosion by Deceit Night is their method! Rarely will there be Old Gods walking in the world..."
Walking in the world means abandoning the fixed incense in one place.
It also means losing the sanctuary of avoidance, losing the opportunity for slumber.
In such a scenario, they should hold fast to one place.
"Just like humans, after exhaling, they must inhale."
The Little White Ape said, "Walking in the world inevitably involves consumption, and if there’s consumption, it must be replenished... without incense, they can only draw on the world’s energy to make up for the consumed divine power."
Niu Yan remarked in surprise, "The world’s energy is full of strangeness. To avoid you, Master, they are really taking such drastic measures?"
"Such drastic measures indicate they’ve already fallen and become Evil Gods."
Lin Yan’s expression was grim as he said, "We had a fixed understanding, always thinking that most gods in the world were bound by human incense, forming cities... but we overlooked that there are also some Evil Gods that, like demons and evil spirits, act recklessly, roaming in the Deceit Night."
He took a deep breath and said, "As the gods revive, these Evil Gods are also reviving; from now on, the Human Clan walking this world will face not just demons and evil spirits, but also Evil Gods corroded by strangeness!"
Previously, these Evil Gods hadn’t stirred up too much commotion.
But as Lin Yan roamed across the ten directions recently, targeting the gods and the demons along the way... the lands of the Three Mansions, whether Old Gods or demons, were deeply alarmed.
The lurking Evil Gods also started moving, leaving their lairs, hiding elsewhere.
But not every Old God feared Lin Yan.
For instance, right now.
Lin Yan took a deep breath.
From the direction of the Residual Prison Mansion, an Evil God was approaching.
This was an Evil God walking in the Deceit Night!
And in the Evil God’s hands, it held a black jar.
"Saint Master, it’s been a while."
