Chapter 538: Chapter 283 The memory of the Palace Master, the truth about Zhu Chijing Festival_1

[You have been tainted with the ninth degree ’Fallen Karma Fire’!]

[You look at the dead Body Shell in front of you...]

[’The Evil Morning Divine Palace Keeper’: Because the ’Ancient Heavenly Warden’ was tainted by the evil god, its idol is full of malice. The palace keepers who worshiped the idol day and night were the first to be affected by that malice and eventually fell into extreme evil, becoming the accomplices of the great general in corrupting the world. It died in the baptism of destroying starlight. Compatibility: 117% (+55%).]

[Do you want to possess this body shell?]

[You have possessed the body shell of ’The Evil Morning Divine Palace Keeper’!]

Lin Xun opened the panel to check the attributes of the palace keeper. The quality of its body shell was almost equal to the president, but its skills were rather mediocre, with the highest being only at the Epic+ level. It didn’t come close to the president’s starlight ultimate.

[The memory in the palace master’s body shell is gradually recovering...]

[...]

[You finally understand that the real divine beings are not the Underworld God, but the Extreme Evil God who controls everything in the world!]

[Compared to the Extreme Evil God, neither the defeated ’Chaos Origin Dragon’ nor the victorious ’Ancient Heavenly Warden’ are worth mentioning. They are merely pawns of the Extreme Evil God.]

[Fortunately, you have awakened early and become a loyal follower of the Extreme Evil God, otherwise, you may still be kept in the dark.]

[You are not the only wise one, the supreme ruler of Sakura fall - the great general has also joined the evil god’s ranks and became the embodiment of the evil god walking among the humans.]

[After your awakening, you received a summon from the great general.]

[You entered the royal palace and received the first mission from the great general...]

[It was a rod made of decorative silk bamboo, with a gorgeous decoration made of fiery ox tail and dan phoenix feathers hanging from the top.]

[You are very familiar with this staff. The envoys sent by the Vermillion Empire in the past used to carry this staff.]

[In contrast to Sakura fall, the Vermillion Empire has a more fanatic belief in the ’Ancient Heavenly Warden’. They regard themselves as the descendants of the Underworld God, believing that all other deities, apart from the ’Chaos Origin Dragon’, were created by the ’Ancient Heavenly Warden’, hence why they referred to the three pillar gods and the various minor deities as ’true God’s progeny’].

[Perhaps due to the Vermillion Empire’s fanatical devotion, they have mastered the method of summoning ’true God’s progeny’.]

[The ’Vermillion Staff’ is a type of ritual artifact used to summon ’true God’s progeny’. It can elicit a response from the ’true God’s progeny’ when used by a believer.]

[The great general explained to you that the Extreme Evil God wants to assimilate everything in the world, including the gods!]

[The ’Underworld God’ and ’Dragon God’ are already under the control of the evil god, only a few minor deities are scattered around, hiding in the void beyond the sky.]

[Now, as a crazed worshipper who has been devoted to the Underworld God for many years, you are required to use the staff in the main hall of the divine palace to summon the ’true God’s progeny’.]

[Your previous devout faith greatly increases the chance of receiving a response from the ’true God’s progeny’.]

[With the evil god disguising your aura, they would never expect that you’ve become a follower of the evil god, and even less so that the evil god could also receive their response.]

[Upon receiving a response, the evil god can then locate their hiding place and assimilate them!]

[Upon hearing this, you were overjoyed. For the Extreme Evil God, you were willing to give everything. To serve a deity is the supreme glory!]

[You carefully put away the staff, returned to the main hall of the divine palace, and summoned the deities under the Underworld God’s command following the great general’s words...]

[Your ’devotion’ has gained a response from the ’true God’s progeny’, but soon, the murmurs in the darkness turn into painful cries of torment... You know that the Extreme Evil God has caught another hiding deity.]

[The task is far from over...]

[The Vermillion Empire, not seeing their envoys return, sent messengers more and more frequently. But how would that wretched emperor know that the enemy they’ve been desperately resisting has already secretly gained control of Sakura fall.]

[With the power of the Extreme Evil God, how could the army sent out with the envoys stand a chance against the great general?]

[As the Vermillion Empire sent envoys more often, the number of envoys decreased. Now the great general didn’t even need to make a move personally. Sending Ninja thieves would be enough to annihilate the envoy group and seize the Vermillion Staff.]

[...]

[The ’true God’s progeny’ who responded to your summon are becoming fewer and fewer. No matter how long you use the staff for, there’s no response. You know that the surviving gods are few.]

[Soon, when the evil god captures all the deities under the Underworld God, the Vermillion Empire, this ferocious lion, will sink and perish...]

[...]

[The scattered memory abruptly seizes here.]

After reading the text, Lin Xun let out a long breath.

So the truth of this Chapter was already half explained in the introduction when he first entered the Chapter.

The key clue was hidden in the ’Vermillion Staff’ carried by the envoy.

And the tool to defeat the great general was this seemingly useless ’Staff’.

[You head straight to the main hall of the divine palace...]

[...]

[In front of the main temple door, a woman in white and scarlet hakama, her face streaked with tears, stands frozen in place within the invisible barrier.]

[Suddenly seeing you, who had been dead but revived, appear before her, she is startled into silence.]

[You use the ’Token of the Jade Wall Barrier’ to dispel the barrier and tell her not to be surprised. As the progeny of the old god and the acting agent of the new god, faking death to escape is just one of your strategies.]

[’Moon City Purple Leaf’ nods, though she doesn’t seem to fully understand.]
