I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night-Chapter 1243 - 655: Divine Venerable, Please Kneel—Lin Has a Request for You! (Part 2)

He sighed and said, "Back then, I was inexplicably struck by a streak of light, the temple shattered, and later on, I suffered calamity, suddenly falling."

This man in white robes seemed to have no intention of hiding anything.

At his peak, he was roughly equivalent to a Netherworld Ghost God.

Just slightly stronger than a Human Martial Saint who has broken the Ultimate Heaven.

Among the Old Gods of the world, he was also the weakest type.

If it weren't for that streak of light merging with his Divine Body back then, with his status, he couldn't have revived after such a long time.

Without the support of incense, he, though an Old God, is now weaker than the Refining God Realm.

Even relying on this Pure Land's Suppression Object, at most, he is comparable to a Creation God.

So he urgently needed incense.

At first, he planned to reveal divine miracles to attract the worship of all beings, but he was too weak.

He had no choice but to reveal his true form, using coercion and temptation to seek incense.

"..." The Little White Ape gasped and thought to himself, "Among the revived Old Gods, it's rare to see one doing so poorly..."

"Didn't you hear what he just said?" Niu Yan said, "He originally had no qualification to be reborn in this world as a weak Divine Spirit, only due to some opportunity was he able to revive in this era."

"So, my proposal is, to use your form, to construct a city, grant you incense, and restore your former glory, how about it?" Lin Yan spoke up.

"The Human Clan incense carries too many distractions, it would damage my own Divine Thought, and might even completely erase my Divine Thought, becoming a new Divine Spirit." The man in white robes shook his head slightly and said, "I only need a small portion of incense to maintain my immortality."

"That's not up to you." Lin Yan slowly stepped forward, pressing his hand against the stone tablet, and said, "You haven't even restored your Divine Body, and now you're only manifesting a mere shadow; they might not see through it, but you can't fool me..."

"Saint Master!" The man in white robes' expression changed drastically.

"As you said, if they don't worship you, you would throw them out." Lin Yan said, "If you don't protect the Human Clan, I'll ruin your Old God's Magical Objects, let this stone tablet become just an artifact of an Old God, used as a treasure to suppress a Formation..."

"..."

The man in white robes showed a complicated expression and after a moment, he said in a low voice, "If the Saint Master spares me this time, sets me free, I can inform you of some things... matters concerning the life and death of the Saint Master!"

"Oh?"

Lin Yan raised an eyebrow and said, "My life and death?"

The man in white robes whispered, "Saint Master, you came from the south, do you know that tens of thousands of Human Clan soldiers died there?"

Upon hearing that, Lin Yan's eyes suddenly brightened, becoming extremely sharp.

"This is the handiwork of a Heavenly God."

"Which Heavenly God?"

"I don't know."

"Hmm?"

"But that Heavenly God has widely invited awakened Immortal Gods from all around, intending to rebuild the old Heavenly Departments."

"Rebuild the old Heavenly Departments?" Lin Yan's eyes became even heavier: "You received the invitation too?"

"I did receive it." The man in white robes paused for a moment and said, "But my Divine Power is too weak, I couldn't respond, so they didn't want me..."

"How does this matter concern my life and death?" Lin Yan thought for a moment and spoke again.

"Because the first condition to join the new Heavenly Court is to invade the Human Clan incense..." The man in white robes whispered, "Especially to sever the incense related to the Human Race Saint Master within the governed area!"

"Cut off my incense?" Lin Yan pondered for a moment and murmured, "Is it starting from here? All Gods are jointly severing my incense, they really regard me highly!"

"There's one more thing." The man in white robes added, "There's another Heavenly God nearby, running rampant at night..."

"..."

Lin Yan's eyes became grave.

Divine Spirits avoid the world, fearing the strange Qi Mechanism.

In this era, those who run rampant and carelessly during the Deceit Night are all Divine Spirits already contaminated.

"The life and death I mentioned actually refer to this..."

The small white-robed god whispered, "This Heavenly God was lured here and should have already completely fallen."

"When the old departments of the Heavenly Court previously communicated, they commanded all Divine Spirits to leave guidance before this fallen Heavenly God."

"To destroy all cities within this region that do not have Divine Spirit protection."

"..."

Lin Yan did not respond.

Some current cities of the Human Clan are supported by treasures.

Some cities are even supported by the remains of the Human Martial Saint, serving as the incense Golden Body.

In previous eras, even strong Evils wouldn't necessarily want to invade.

But for a Heavenly God, whether it's a city relying on Old God's Magical Objects or a city guarded by a Human Martial Saint, all are trivial.

"If that's the case, this Pure Land isn't safe either... wasn't that Heavenly God fallen?" Inspector Yan's face changed, he said.

"Though I am a minor god, I was a Divine Spirit in those days, still having Divine Power after all."

The man in white robes continued, "Ordinarily, Divine Spirits wouldn't clash with each other... although that Heavenly God has fallen, it doesn't have the thought of devouring me..."

Lin Yan showed a pensive expression.

Even that Heavenly God didn't destroy this Pure Land.

This small hair-like god in white robes should appear as insignificant as an ant in the Heavenly God's eyes.

This suggests that treasures possessing Old God's Magical Power can still hold intimidation.

Only those Old God's Magical Objects exhausted of Divine Power are ultimately just powerful Magic Treasures.

If these powerful Old God's Magical Objects aren't put to use, mystically, in sixty years, they can still recover Old God's Magical Power and retransform into a Pure Land.

However, Old God's Magical Objects in the hands of various races often get imbued with the Qi Mechanism of latter-day beings, affecting the recovery of Old God's Magical Power.

"Destroy all cities within the boundaries of these Three Great Holy Lands that lack the protection of an Old God."

Lin Yan said solemnly, "This is intended to force me to act..."

Among the Human Clan today, only Saint Master Lin Yan is qualified to deal with Heavenly Gods.

He had slain the dragon of Tai Sui, his name renowned across the world.

But to All Gods, Lin Yan remains an enigma, or rather... they simply do not believe he could slay the dragon of Tai Sui.

For example, in the eyes of the Great Evil God, Lin Yan relied on the God Destruction Array of years past.

This too is a trial!

A fallen Heavenly God, already lost sanity, extremely mad, wreaking havoc upon the world.

This is an Evil God, destined to not be in league with those Heavenly Realm True Gods preparing to recreate the Heavenly Court!

If Lin Yan can slay the Heavenly God, he aids them.

If this fallen Heavenly God slays Lin Yan, he also aids them.

"Drive the tiger to swallow the wolf..."

Lin Yan said, "Who is the tiger, who is the wolf, matters not to All Gods! What matters is that they will profit from it, eliminating a major enemy!"

And after this battle, regardless of victory or defeat, one side will inevitably suffer losses.

The mantis stalks the cicada! While the oriole is behind!

"Master, this battle is unavoidable." Niu Yan said.

"If the battle is avoided, and the Human Clan's cities within these Three Great Holy Lands are destroyed, the Saint Master's reputation would also suffer." The Little White Ape realized: "This would affect the incense!"

"To face the battle is to fall into the trap." Niu Yan voiced, "If you avoid the battle and let it happen, you will suffer a blow to the morale of the Human Clan and a significant drop in your own power."

"..."

The other members of the Demon Suppression Department, as well as those from the caravan, all kept silent, keenly observing the situation.

Lin Yan showed a pensive expression once more.

Eventually, he spoke again, "Thank you, but I have one more matter to trouble you with. I can ensure that Inspector Yan and others, no... anyone from Southwest City who passes by here, will come to offer you worship!"
