Chapter 972: Chapter 853: Returning Divinity to the People (Part 2)

The faces wrinkled with fear slowly relaxed, even showing an incredulous delight. Miss White Wine, watching their faces, unexpectedly broke into a smile on her usually indifferent face.

She loved the look of smiles on people’s faces after saving them; in her previous life, she had just passed the medical qualification exam, but in this world, she had gained the greatest satisfaction.

It’s okay, it’s all the same!

"Is the snowstorm, the snowstorm really over?"

At the moment when the umbrella shielded the wind and snow and sweet dew saved people, all the soldiers and horses around had fallen into silent shock. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

The switch between what seemed like a nightmare hell and a paradise blessed by sweet rain left them with a stark contrast between misery, despair, and a great awakening, as if they had undergone a thorough cleansing from the inside out.

Above their heads, the intangible and oppressive shadow finally dispersed at this moment. Within their hearts, as if bound by countless iron chains, the long-sealed gates crumbled with a roar, and their hearts soared high, higher than the heavens, seeing further than the heavens.

"A miracle..."

The no-beef-eating Think Tank, Iron Mouth, was stupefied for half a moment by this scene before suddenly reacting.

Even for a strange person like him, the scene unfolding before his eyes seemed miraculous.

Suddenly, he was struck with clarity, and he bowed towards the Ming King above the green tent, shouting: "Heavenly Ming King, destined by the heavens!"

He started, and others followed suit. Though the no-beef-eating did not like kneeling and liked to stop others from kneeling, sometimes when the heart’s emotion reaches its peak, for the people suffering at the bottom, it seemed that only kneeling could express their joy.

Thus, a hundred thousand soldiers and horses, near and far, all knelt toward the central tent. Waves of sound surged, lifting layers of ice and snow from the ground:

"Heavenly Ming King, destined by the heavens!"

"..."

From this moment, no one doubted the intention of the Ming King to seek surplus grain, and no one would even consider the ghostly gods in a significant light.

Only Yang Gong in the tent watched the middle-aged man holding an umbrella deep in the crowd, then looked toward the carriage, where Miss White Wine stood with a jade pot, summoning the sweet rain, standing smiling beside him.

Feeling a stirring in his heart, his eyes heated, "I just said a few words; the world’s blessings, what do they have to do with me?"

"It is clearly the heavens who sent a divine being to the human world to save us from suffering..."

"But why are they, how are they so carefree? They’ve done these things, but let me, a mud-legged commoner, shoulder it, only watching from the side and smiling so happily..."

"Could it be... could it be that this is the true mercy and transcendence of an Immortal?"

"..."

"..."

A single slash fell, and the wind and snow stopped abruptly, the sweet rain descended, already a miraculous event praised by everyone, yet it was not the end.

At Menghu Pass, Er Guotou also, borrowing Yang Gong’s slash, released the altar stickers, dispatched the gold armor of Zhensui Mansion, one turning into two, two into four, the Hundred and Eight Golden Armors, directly spreading across the world, taking down clay idols, wandering gods, case gods, and Lords in various places.

Though efforts were made to calm people’s hearts with capable people from the Ghost Walking Sect, it still stirred endless panic, of course attracting countless incense-burning Old Masters and temple Incense Burners, coming in droves to try and stop it.

However, these matters can only be done by those within the Path, and the most capable of the Path are the ten surnames, but they were all beyond attention now.

This led to the Ghost Walking Sect becoming the dominant force.

The law of the Ghost Walking Sect became the greatest law in this world, and others could not stop it even if they tried.

"It’s time to draw the blade!"

Er Guotou sat high on the altar, shouting angrily, picking up the Delivering Yin Tie at his side, looking toward the human world.

Countless golden armors roamed the world, demolishing mountains and temples, seizing those clay idols of false gods who only occupied positions without merit, but in Er Guotou’s hands, there was still only the golden armor collection.

He could command the world’s golden armor to seize people and had five stone weights anchoring the Magic Altar, not afraid they would overturn the heavens, but he did not have the ability to slay gods.

Therefore, without hesitation, he spoke of this matter to Hu Ma with the Delivering Yin Tie.

To slay gods, it must be done by Zhensui Mansion!

"Finally, the moment has come?"

Meanwhile on Da’ai Mountain, in a deep dream, Hu Ma, in the Netherworld Palace, heard Er Guotou’s words and could not help but burst into laughter.

"What rebellious things have you done in the human world?"

Before Hu Ma, after the Sixth Hall’s demise, there was golden light gleaming ahead, dragon flags and phoenix banners shimmering in gold, and after the Sixth Hall was cut down, the Emperor Yiguang of the Fifth Hall and Emperor Yibao of the Fourth Hall also felt fear.

They did not believe they had the majesty to suppress someone who had consecutively cut down five halls, so they voluntarily abandoned their throne to seek help at the Third Hall.

And this Third Hall’s Emperor Ghost was the emperor during their lifetime, decreeing Lords and wandering gods to govern the world, the Emperor Yiming.

He pursued great accomplishments in life, proclaiming himself the ruler of gods, and because he had to decree Lords afterward, he waved his hand grandly, ensuring that those with merits in the court were all designated as various Lords.

Even the Inner Eunuch serving him, he wanted to give the divine title of "Ears Reporting God," and those so-called "Qilin" from outside, fraudsters offering it to his court, he also wanted to give a divine title of "Treasure Hunting God."

Though it seemed laughable, because it was the emperor’s direct decree, and temples were set up everywhere with incense tables to receive incense, the incense was indeed real.
