“Is this really necessary?”
Lan Zhize stared in disbelief at the four Main Gods approaching from afar. He was utterly dumbfounded.
Why were four people from four different directions causing a commotion and revealing their positions simultaneously? Why were these four Main Gods coming after him?
He was speechless. Did they think he was an easy target?
Or did they just happen to stumble upon him? If that’s the case, his luck must be incredibly bad, right?
Should he just walk away?
No!
He shook his head. He was just one step away from completing his mission. He had to obtain the critical data so Du Gang could analyze it and find the Son of Destiny.
If he left now and lost this piece of data, what if they missed out on the Son of Destiny?
“Damn it, I’m all in!”
At this moment, he had no choice but to hold out as long as possible and collect as much data as he could!
Good grief, this sacrifice is huge!
He felt like he might have to use every trick in the book this time, or else he might not make it through!
……
“I wonder who the four Main Gods are going for this time!”
In a certain valley, Du Gang, who had nothing to do, was hiding and speculating about the opponents of the four men, while constantly deducing the intelligence of this world.
“So far I’ve been to five gathering places and obtained some local legends, but none of them seem to be too powerful…”
In the countless tests of the others, he wasn’t idle either. He kept moving among various gathering places, collecting rumors and intelligence about potential Sons of Destiny.
Places like teahouses with vast amounts of information were basically covered by him. He even specifically grabbed a few information peddlers for some covert interrogation.
The completion of the mission was related to his life, so he naturally did not spare these people anything. When he had to, he didn’t shy away from getting tough.
However, he overestimated the integrity of these people. Basically, without resorting to any torture, they spilled everything they knew.
Even more, he caught someone unusual, a man wearing a red hat.
It was said that such a person was a Divine Servant of the Seven Gods Palace!
……
Within Du Gang’s inner world.
“You say you clean the Seven Gods Palace?”
Du Gang looked suspiciously at the red-hatted man in front of him, “Are you messing with me? Which of the Seven Gods needs someone else to clean for them?”
In the Primordial Continent, although the power of a God Spirit Level is somewhat limited and they can’t do many things, they are capable of casting the Dust Cleaning Technique. Is there a need to hire ordinary people to do cleaning?
In his eyes, the Sector Lord level red-hatted man was just an ordinary person.
The man looked terrified and explained hurriedly: “Sir, everything I said is true!”
“The Seven Gods Palace indeed had me cleaning for them, not just me, there were many others…”
He didn’t look like he was lying, so Du Gang frowned and asked: “Apart from cleaning, what other mortals have gone to the Seven Gods Palace?”
The man seemed startled at first but soon recovered, quickly responding: “In the Seven Gods Palace, there are many who are responsible for changing the red carpet every day, and numerous teams are responsible for food…”
From his words, Du Gang finally understood how extravagant the so-called Seven Gods were.
From their eating, drinking, living, and traveling, everything was of the highest standard, and they had people serving them constantly.
People like these weren’t randomly chosen. They were picked from various large families to be Divine Servants. Families without deep backgrounds or vast wealth wouldn’t be chosen.
Du Gang sneered, “Given your ‘privileged’ background, why did you betray your god so quickly?”
According to the selection rules of the Seven Gods Palace, the man in front of him was surely a close Divine Servant of the Seven Gods, and he belonged to the nobility.
If the gods are regarded as emperors, then their Divine Servants would be the nobles; they are the beneficiaries.
Though they may seem humble in front of the gods, they are revered amongst people of lower class.
The red-hatted man begged, “Sir, I really am not lying!”
At that moment, he was truly frightened, peeing himself with fear. This method of catching people in another world was unheard of, unparalleled. it was even superior to the methods used by the Seven Gods!
Du Gang suddenly thought of a news story he had seen back on Earth.
According to a survey in Hua Nation, the poorer people are, the more patriotic they are. They are more likely to sacrifice themselves in times of national crisis.
This is because they have nothing, they are at the bottom of society, and they need to fight hard to rise up. Isn’t it true that ‘the nobility would rather have a seed?’
On the other hand, wealthy people are less willing to sacrifice themselves in times of national crisis.
This is because they have everything. To ask them to abandon their wealth and risk their lives, they are not willing!
He also remembered a skit by an old artist.
“If you win a billion, would you donate it to the poor?”
“I will, I’d donate the whole billion!”
“What about a car, would you donate that?”
“No!”
“Why not? You’re willing to donate a billion, but not a car?”
“Because, I really do own a car!”
Recalling this, Du Gang roughly understood the Red Hat Divine Servant’s thinking.
Would he sacrifice himself for the gods? He didn’t want to, he wanted to live!
So, after intimidating him a bit, he asked again: “Now, tell me what you know about the gods, I want things that people can’t hear about in public!”
He looked calmly at the man, smiling yet not as he said, “To me, you are nothing more than an ant. Killing you doesn’t matter. If you cooperate enough, I’ll let you go after I’m done. If you lie to me, you will die!”
The red-hatted man gulped, struggling to say: “Can you… can you give me some kind of guarantee?”
“Heh!”
Du Gang chuckled, “Even if I promise not to kill you, would you believe it?”
“You just need to know, your life is in my hands now. Killing you is the right thing to do. Not killing you depends on your performance. I’m running out of patience, so if you waste any more of my time…”
“I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you everything!”
The Red Hat Divine Servant’s backbone wasn’t that strong, and he didn’t even let Du Gang finish before he confessed to everything.
“The Seven Gods Palace has seven Main Gods, fourteen True Gods, and over two hundred lesser gods…”
Through his narration, Du Gang roughly understood that the Main Gods were the seven strongest beings at the God Spirit Level and the True Gods were also at the God Spirit Level, but their cultivation methods were not as good as the Main Gods.
Other divine servants, however, have variable cultivation ranging from the First Tribulation God Spirit level to the Eighth Tribulation God Spirit level.
“The Seven Gods Palace had originally seven Main Gods, but over a year ago, a visitor from another dimension arrived…”
The red-hatted man knew much more than Du Gang had imagined.
Du originally thought that if this guy knew about some of the Main Gods’ quirks, it would be quite impressive already. Yet, he even knew how three of the Seven Gods died.
“That visitor from the Heavenly Court, according to him, there are many worlds out there…”
“Later, all the gods joined forces to fight against the visitor from the Heavenly Court…”
“Who would have guessed that on that day, it was like twilight for the gods; the seven Main Gods, the three strongest ones were killed in battle…”
“Numerous disciples died, and several of the fourteen deities also perished…”
After saying this, he paused as if hesitating.
Du Gang, however, took this opportunity to remind him, “You must understand that your life is in my hands. Whether you live or die depends on your performance. As for the possible punishment from the Seven Gods, if you survive this ordeal with me, then you can think about it!”
Hearing this, the red-hatted man came to his senses immediately and hurriedly said, “Sir, I understand, I wouldn’t dare to hide anything!”
“In fact, that visitor from the Heavenly Court didn’t pay too much attention to the other divine servants and deities. His main attacks were all directed at the Main Gods…”
“Also, most of the deities and disciples were killed unintentionally, and after three of the Main Gods died, the other four had to flee in panic!”

“That visitor from the Heavenly Court did not pursue them; instead, he closed his eyes to rest for a moment…”
The red-hatted Divine Servant did not know Du Gang’s thoughts and could only spill everything that he knew.
“I remember that when the visitor from the Heavenly Court was there, he unwittingly said something completely nonsensical…”
Du Gang suddenly perked up, listening carefully.
“The assessment task is now complete; it’s finally time for the promotion task…”
With a nervous look on his face, the red-hatted man cautiously said, “Sir, that’s all he said!”
Du Gang, however, fell into deep thought.
Promotion task?
From God Spirit level to True God level?
In this way, Kou Yingwu’s previous seven-person mission was actually a prerequisite task for this man’s assessment mission.
That means, if Kou Yingwu’s seven-person mission got through, then he would be participating in an assessment mission.
If he could get through that as well, then he would be participating in a promotion mission.
However, it’s not certain; there might be other tasks prior to the assessment mission!
Du Gang mused, no matter what, he had learned some new terminology.
He nodded approvingly and smiled, “Good, you have earned half a chance to live. If you have any important information, speak up now…”
Hearing this, the red-hatted man rejoiced and thanked Du profusely. He then mentioned everything he knew about the Seven Gods Palace.
“Actually, after the three Main Gods died, their six counterpart deities and all their direct disciples were killed by the remaining four Main Gods…”
“I don’t know the specifics…”
Du Gang frowned, “How did you come across this information?”
Petrified, the Divine Servant kept bowing in fear, “Sir, I swear everything I’ve said is true, all other Divine Servants know this too…”
“Inside the Seven Gods Palace, this is an open secret, everyone knows it, it’s just that no one dares to talk about it openly…”
Hearing this, Du Gang could not help but understand. Judging from the ‘gods’ attitudes towards the commoners, it was apparent they did not care about their lives, let alone give them any importance.
Du Gang nodded, “Is there anything else?”
“There is!”
Seeing the man in front of him nod, the red-hatted Divine Servant was overjoyed at the prospect of sparing his life. He hurriedly said, “Sir, one of the Main Gods, the ‘Fire’ God, has an affair with his counterpart deity, Fire Thorn Lady…”
“I often see them together in a room, and sometimes even in the Seven Gods Palace…”
Du Gang raised his eyebrows, what kind of intelligence was this?
Did he actually like hearing such gossip?
The red-hatted Divine Servant, good at picking up subtle expressions, was startled by Du Gang’s response and quickly said, “Sir, that Fire Thorn Lady before becoming a deity, secretly had a partner…”
Du Gang knew from the locals that a partner was akin to a spouse, only in case of God Spirits.
Du Gang was immediately intrigued, “You mean, Fire Thorn Lady’s partner is not the ‘Fire’ God?”
Seeing Du Gang’s reaction, the red-hatted Divine Servant took a breath of relief and nodded, “Exactly, Sir, you may not know this, but when Fire Thorn Lady was not yet a deity, Feng Yu was her partner…”
“Later, Feng Yu was killed in a collaborative attack by the four gods, and then…”
Is that so!
It was just about a person who was already dead. Du Gang shook his head, somewhat disappointed. He thought it was some juicy gossip!
Seeing Du Gang’s expression, the red-hatted Divine Servant was startled. Quickly, he clenched his teeth and hurriedly said, “Sir, Feng Yu is actually not dead!!”
“Huh?”
Du Gang stared at him in confusion, waiting for his explanation.
The red-hatted Divine Servant, caught in a do-or-die situation, disregarded everything else and spilled everything he knew.
“Feng Yu was originally going to be killed, but someone among the deities hid him…”
Du Gang furrowed his brow, “You mean, someone tricked everyone else, didn’t kill him, and instead hid him?”
“Exactly!”
The red-hatted Divine Servant nodded, “It’s not just Feng Yu…”
He gritted his teeth and said, “I was in charge of cleaning the Seven Gods Palace and accidentally discovered a very secret hidden passage…”
“It’s a passage that even the Seven Gods don’t know about!” freēwēbηovel.c૦m
He affirmed, “I’m sure the Seven Gods don’t know about it because it’s a passage completely undetectable from the outside, probably built by people from the ancient times…”
“Once while cleaning the area near the passage, I discovered them…”
Listening to this, Du Gang’s brows furrowed further.
Why did he feel like this guy was just trying to trick him?
But careful observation revealed that the red-hatted man didn’t seem to be lying.
“You’re saying, none of those people discovered you?”
Even if those people were from Jin Biao’s world, couldn’t they really sense him?
“Sir, there is something you don’t know. The Seven Gods Palace actually has many restrictions. The Seven Gods might be worried that someone might attack them secretly…ahem, they have placed many safeguards. Basically, everyone’s perceptive abilities and so on have been weakened. This weakening is indiscriminate, including themselves. The only difference is that the places they live in are very solid and not easily broken into…”
