I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night-Chapter 1327 - 695: Divine Split and Thought Transformation, Dragon Lake God

The vacant position of the Netherworld's Yin General fell to him.

"The Netherworld overlaps with the Mortal World, so the power of authority grows stronger."

This Yin General thought to himself: "But the Mortal World should also have great power... It's said that during the Ancient Era, among the Ten Thousand Realms, there were tribal kingdoms and imperial empires, controlling fortune."

He pondered: "If one could dominate the Mortal World, could they also obtain authority and reach the level of Yama?"

With such thoughts, he sensed the benefits brought by devouring an Old God and a hundred thousand humans.

After consuming an Old God, his mana surged.

Consuming a hundred thousand humans further refined his Tao.

If this continues, perhaps he could forcefully ascend to the rank of Yama with his own cultivation.

"One Old God, a hundred thousand humans, already brings such benefits."

This Netherworld Yin General thought: "If I can break through ten cities, I will surely ascend to Yama's rank!"

Besides, he distributed the other townsfolk in that city to his Yin Soldiers.

His hundred thousand Yin Soldiers all gained significantly in strength.

The might of the military formation he could muster became even stronger.

"The next city will be Guan Chao City."

This Yin General murmured: "It's said that there is an Evil God in the city, raising humans. Unfortunately, we Yin Soldiers cannot raise the living... Otherwise, they would at most be a horde of living dead due to erosion by yin qi."

He waved his hand and said, "It's getting late; it's time to march."

In broad daylight, the hundred thousand Yin Soldiers concealed themselves beneath the earth, seeped into the yin qi, avoiding the illumination of the sun above.

Now, as night falls, the Yin Soldiers emerged from beneath the earth.

Yin qi swept across, and among the mountains, ghost fires flickered ominously with pale green light.

The weapons and armor gleamed coldly.

The qi mechanisms of the Yin Soldiers were dark and profound.

Ordinary living beings, unless killed by the Yin Soldiers, even if simply nearby, would be eroded by the vast yin qi and Slaughter Qi.

Either their souls would perish, becoming living dead.

Or their souls would endure the erosion and become malevolent ghosts.

——

Tingchao City.

The Evil God of this city is of the Dragon Clan.

He achieved success in cultivation, received a Heavenly Talisman, and ascended to the heavens, bathed in the Dragon Pool, transforming into a Heavenly Dragon.

Later appointed to the Xuanhuang Great World among All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, overseeing a great lake.

As the Lake God, he was relatively dutiful, orchestrating rain and ensuring abundant harvests.

But from time to time, he succumbed to cravings, and forced the local people to offer human sacrifices.

Later, he failed the Heavenly Court's inspection and was reported by Erlang's infantry under the Judicial Great Heavenly Monarch.

Because the Judicial Great Heavenly Monarch had old ties to the Dragon Clan, he refused orders for mobilization, resulting in the Heavenly Court ordering the Yao Envoy to descend and slay this god.

After the death of the Dragon Lake God, his authority should have been extinguished and bestowed upon someone new, but a strange disaster struck, causing tumult in the Heavenly Court. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Thus, the Dragon Lake God's authority was left vacant, and after endless ages, gradually revived.

In the present, with the Heavenly Court shattered, this Dragon Lake God, without any scruples, turned this human city into his pasture.

Every day, he took a hundred people as food.

During festivals, he required young boys and girls for grand feasts.

On regular days, the townsfolk had to visit the temple and offer incense.

He regained his peak strength, and with the consumption of countless humans and incense, he faintly surpassed his former self.

"Back then, I received the Heavenly Talisman, ascended to the heavens, and became a god, but the old Heavenly Emperor begrudged the divine positions of the Heavenly Court and refused to confer them."

The Dragon Lake God, biting into a human, chewed with a mouthful of blood and said sinisterly, "Being made the God of a mere lake in the Xuanhuang Great World is an utter humiliation!"

Though he is a god among mortals, positioned equivalent to a Land Immortal, he faintly has the confidence to break the shackles and become a Heavenly God.

He only needs to endure for another hundred years, maintaining the population of the city, consuming seventy percent of each generation, leaving thirty percent to proliferate.

After a hundred years, even if he cannot attain the position of a Heavenly God, he will possess combat power at a Heavenly God level.

Currently, his worry is, with the Heavenly Court shattered, how can the living gods elevate their divine positions?

"It's rumored that in the East Sea, the Gate of Tao emerged, capable of condensing Heavenly Talismans."

The Dragon Lake God mused: "But sadly, the Gate of Tao is incomplete, with no method for repair, so breaking through into the Heavenly God Realm must still rely on myself."

"Divine Venerable…"

An old temple priest bowed and said: "It's said that the Saint Master of the South Mountain Sacred Land created a Magic Method resistant to the erosion of Deceit Night. By this method, he broke the shackles of later generations of life and achieved Immortal God."

The Dragon Lake God's eyes gleamed darkly as he said, "Though he broke through, he is merely akin to a Land Immortal, not a Heavenly God."

The old temple priest continued, "Nonetheless, this Human Race Saint Master has broken the shackles."

The Dragon Lake God appeared pensive.

His awakening was relatively late.

He initially awoke during the chaotic era after the Second Human Emperor.

But later, during the Holy Alliance Era, he remained in slumber, with a Guardian God of the Human Clan condensed from human incense emerging within him.

Only in recent decades, amid world upheaval and the reawakening of many Old Gods, did he suppress the Guardian God within him.

In earlier years, there was no news of anyone achieving Immortal God status.

After his initial awakening, there was no news of any race in the world breaking through the shackles between the immortal and the mortal.

The cultivation methods of antiquity were long in decline.

The method to achieve Immortal God in the Ancient Era depended on the Gate of Tao.

In this era, it was unknown what kind of Cultivation Technique the Human Clan had devised.

"You speak wisely; since the Human Race Saint Master can transform from chrysalis to butterfly, shed the mortal coil and become Immortal, it's possible he could achieve Heavenly God in the future."

The Dragon Lake God slowly said, "But I hear that this method is only suitable for the Human Clan to practice."

The old temple priest said again, "It's rumored that many divine spirits have reincarnated as humans and are cultivating the Human Clan's New Technique after the emergence of the Netherworld."

"You want me to abandon my former authority, forsake the creation of this Dragon Lake God, forsake my past cultivation?"

The Dragon Lake God was suddenly enraged, swallowing the old temple priest whole and snarled: "I am almost equivalent to a Heavenly God now. Regardless of the future era, nearly being a Heavenly God... one is always a powerhouse in any era! You wish to deceive me, to let the humans of this city escape my control?"

Saying this, he suddenly rose into the air, shouting loudly: "The Human Clan has angered the god. Today, three hundred and sixty boys and girls must be offered, or divine retribution will descend, and the entire city will be destroyed!"

In the city, the humans were all exclaiming in terror, prostrating themselves on the ground, pleading for forgiveness.

The divine power surged, covering the entire city.

The city's high families, even the Creation God Lord, and the Human Martial Saint, had long since become Great Medicine after the Dragon Lake God's revival.

Especially the Human Martial Saint, who, if too strong and possessing an Old God's Magical Object, had the capability to harm divine spirits.

After all, when the Human Race Saint Master exterminated many Gods and Demons of the Thunder Department Prison back then, he was merely a Human Martial Saint.

For the gods who reawakened later, this was a cautionary tale, a bloody lesson.

As boundless panic spread throughout the city.

The Dragon Lake God was satisfied.

He knew that the city had already begun selecting boys and girls.

By dawn, they would surely be delivered to the temple as sacrificial offerings.

His cultivation would advance further.

Although his cultivation was profound and his foundations were adequate, consuming human blood food and gaining human incense seemed not to yield significant benefits.

Yet, over the years, a decade or so, it would still be a step forward!

In a thousand or so years, he would have the qualification, in a thousand or so years, he would have the qualification, in a thousand or so years, he would have the qualification, in a thousand or so years, he would have the qualification, in a thousand or so years, he would have the qualification, in a thousand or so years, he would have the qualification, in a thousand or so years, he would have the qualification, in a thousand or so years, he would have the qualification,
