I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night-Chapter 1245 - 656: Mortals Worship Gods, Yet Gods Should Worship Me

Lin Yan did not have too many expectations, a Scenic Creator, already a pillar of support for the Human Clan.

And other members of the Demon Suppression Department, as well as the merchants' Martial Artists, all benefited on this night.

How could the teaching of a Saint Master not be a tremendous opportunity?

"Saint Master..."

Inspector Yan prepared to escort the stone tablet to High Willow City, but hesitated, and said in a low voice, "Last night, what the Earth God said..."

"No harm."

Lin Yan said, "As long as they're coming for me, it's not a big deal. Last night I used the Heavenly Eye to observe all directions, not seeing traces of that Heavenly God, otherwise, I wouldn't have had any spare strength to teach you all..."

He indeed did not sense the presence of that fallen Heavenly God.

But he sensed the storm rising in the Southwest City last night.

He did not immediately head to the Southwest City.

He didn't want to rattle the snake by cutting the grass.

"The world is vast, the Human Clan too numerous, wanting to sift through, who knows what year or month..."

Lin Yan thought to himself, "Wait until all these major enemies gather together, it's just perfect to catch them all in one net, then follow the trail to cut off the root... Once I break into the Netherworld, I don't need to worry about the Human Clan's situation in the Mortal World, without concerns, I can seize the authority of the Netherworld with peace of mind."

——

Southwest City.

The current Marquis of the Southwest, ten years ago, participated in the battle to exterminate the Demon Domain, making great contributions, has been rewarded, now having reached the Peak of Creation cultivation.

Despite a large number of soldiers being transferred away from the Southwest Royal City, his military power has been reduced by more than eighty percent.

But with the remaining soldiers, forming a military formation, he still possesses the combat power of a Human Martial Saint.

"The Marquis is not easy, seemingly making great progress in cultivation, in ten years' time, already at the Creation Peak."

Seeing a man, he sighed and said, "But the well-trained elite soldiers, cultivated for many years, are taken away, the power of the military formation weakened by eighty percent... the overall ability could almost be said to have not grown at all."

He looked at the Southwest Marquis in front of him, emotionally saying, "Back then, when we subdued the Demon Domain, the Marquis was the first to charge, such style and spirit! He should have been ennobled as a king, with more soldiers added... Unexpectedly, your authority has been taken away!"

"..."

The Southwest Marquis looked coldly at the man before him, sensing the divine power emanating from him.

This person in front, coming from Heavenly Destiny City, is one of the Supreme Elders of the Holy Alliance.

Ten years ago, he was just at the initial stage of the Refining God Realm, today already at the Creation Peak.

Such astonishing progress because behind him he relies on a revived Old God.

To be precise, this Supreme Elder, ten years ago, was seen by the Holy Alliance as a "Divine Servant" and mortal enemy!

In the South Mountain Sacred Land, they were called Tribulation Ash!

Ten years have passed, Tribulation Ash has already entered the hall and is interfering in the decision-making of the Human Clan's upper levels.

"Elder Gao coming here, surely not just to pity this Marquis for a few words..."

The Southwest Marquis said, his tone cold, "If only to sow discord, then please leave!"

He calmly said, "Since my cultivation, how many comrades have died on the battlefield? When I was appointed the Southwest Marquis, it was a duty in times of crisis, not a lust for power, whether to be ennobled a king is not important, as for cultivation..."

"The Demon Domain has been recovered, reducing soldiers in the city to support elsewhere is reasonable and proper."

"My achievement of the Creation Peak, relying on the reward of past merits, is solid cultivation!"

"You say I have not made any progress, are you not making a joke of my ten years of hard cultivation?"

He reached for the hilt of his sword, sneering, "I don't know what you servants of the Old Gods are up to, but the Holy Alliance is the Holy Alliance of the Human Clan!"

"Not necessarily."

High Elder sighed and said, "Haven't you heard, the Saint Master has returned?"

The Southwest Marquis's expression grew solemn.

Back then, he was part of the army attacking the Demon Domain.

He could say he saw with his own eyes the Saint Master showcase divine might, ultimately slaying the gods, severely wounded in the process, nearly dying.

Later, that thunderbolt fell, engulfing the Saint Master.

From then on, the Human Clan lost the Saint Master.

But now, the Saint Master is said to have returned.

"Is today's Saint Master still the same Saint Master of the Human Clan from those days?"

This High Elder reflectively said, "The upper ranks of the Holy Alliance still harbor doubts, having tried many times to contact this Saint Master, but this Saint Master has been wandering among various factions recently, clearly unwilling to associate with the upper ranks of the Holy Alliance..."

He continued, "The Holy Alliance Supreme Pavilion has initially determined this Saint Master to be false, intending to steal the Human Clan's incense."

"..."

The Southwest Marquis's face flickered with uncertainty, "Could it be anyone but the Saint Master who can slay Tai Sui's dragon, relieving the Human Clan of danger?"

"But Tai Sui's dragon, among the Old Gods, is equivalent to a Heavenly God, no matter how powerful the Saint Master is, he is still human..."

This High Elder sighed, "Back in that battle, you saw it clearly, to this day, it is unbelievable that the Saint Master is alive, recovery from such injuries is even more incredible..."

He paused, said in a deep voice, "Not to mention, being able to ascend to Heaven in one step!"

The Southwest Marquis did not respond, his eyes filled with uncertainty.

The next moment, Elder Gao reached into his bosom and pulled out a scroll with a decree.

"This is the decree of the Vice Alliance Hierarch of the Holy Alliance!"

"..."

Since the Master of the Holy Alliance broke through Extreme Heaven and was severely injured, nearly falling, various factions have tried to seize power.

Eventually, the Alliance Master was revived, returned from the Rejuvenation Pool, but having lost his physical form, his abilities greatly diminished, unable to stabilize his position as Master.

For this reason, the Alliance Master appointed three Supreme Elders to jointly serve as Vice Alliance Hierarchs.

These three Vice Alliance Hierarchs serve for thirty years!

After thirty years, the one with the greatest achievements, highest skill, and highest reputation among the Human Clan succeeds as the next Master.

The decree at hand comes from one of the Vice Alliance Hierarchs.

"Please, Marquis of the Southwest, open the city gates to welcome guests from all sides."

"..."

The Marquis of the Southwest was silent for a moment and said, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"Recently, rumors have surfaced suggesting an impostor posing as the Saint Master might be heading to Southwest City."

Elder Gao said in a deep voice, "You once followed the Saint Master into the Demon Domain to kill, and certainly wouldn't want to watch an Old God, posing as the Saint Master, steal incense offerings from the Human Clan."

The Marquis of the Southwest remained silent.

Elder Gao continued, speaking calmly.

"We come to Southwest City only to reflect ten directions and uncover this villain's true form."

"If he's truly the Saint Master, he should naturally be welcomed back by the Holy Alliance."

"If he's an Old God or Evil, impersonating the Saint Master, he should be executed!"

"This is the decree of the Vice Alliance Hierarch."

Elder Gao's voice was grave as he said, "Would you dare defy the order?"

"If indeed an Old God disguised as the Saint Master..."

The Marquis of the Southwest paused for a moment before saying, "Unmasking him could destroy my city, could it not?"

Elder Gao said in a deep voice, "Therefore, we must ask the Marquis of the Southwest to order the formation of arrays and welcome thirty thousand of the Holy Alliance's World Suppressing Army!"

The World Suppressing Army, directly under the Holy Alliance, is trained through the methods of the Upper Heaven, forming elite forces.

Rumors say the methods of the Upper Heaven originate from the ancient Divine Demon Clan.

And the methods of training soldiers and forming military arrays of that ancient Divine Demon Clan stem from the Heavenly Court of the Ancient Era.

A million-strong World Suppressing Army!

This is the greatest result of the Human Clan's training over the past decade, gathering Martial Artists from hundreds of Holy Lands, regardless of their background, focusing first on willpower, then on cultivation!

Those who enter this army have at least Inner Strength Cultivation!

Those in the Refining Essence Realm are decurions.

Those in the Qi Refining Realm are centurions.

Those in the Refining God Realm or those mastering Kaiyuan Creation God Skill as Scenic Creators are chiliarchs.

A Human Martial Saint then becomes a myriarch!

To command one hundred thousand soldiers, one must at least break through the Fourth Heaven!

And the Great General of the million-strong World Suppressing Army is Yi Feng Great Saint, who has already broken through the Nine Heavens!

In recent years, Yi Feng Great Saint has led the army in warfare, encircling and slaying Old Gods, as many as three!

This is after the Saint Master!

The Human Clan once again possesses the power to kill Divine Spirits!

If not for this, under the circumstance of the revival of All Gods, the Human Clan might not still maintain the current situation.

"You may not trust me, but you ought to trust Yi Feng Great Saint!"

Elder Gao said, "He is a Great Saint of the Upper Heaven, a mighty one venerating the Saint Master, and under his command, the World Suppressing Army... could not possibly attack the true Saint Master!"

The Marquis of the Southwest paused again, looking back at the decree of the Vice Alliance Hierarch.

The three Vice Alliance Hierarchs symbolize three Human Clan leaders.

This is the decision of the Human Clan!

"Very well, I can relinquish military control of Southwest City and the Old God's Magical Objects controlling the city's formations!"

The Marquis of the Southwest took a deep breath and finally said as such.

——

A hundred miles away.

Lin Yan's Heavenly Eye on his forehead closed.

He caressed the Night Illuminating Divine Sword in his hand, softly saying, "Slay the dragon of Tai Sui, gods of all directions, they all think we borrowed the God Destruction Array! Tonight... let all gods be astounded by it!"

In his eyes was a blazing intensity: "From now on, mortals worship gods, and gods worship me!"
