I Have A Sword

Chapter 579: First God

Chapter 579: First God

'Time to get things done.'

As soon as Ye An heard those words, she appeared beside Ye Guan.

She then looked at him, her gaze full of disdain. "You chose to summon me because I have no principles, didn't you?"

Ye Guan smiled sheepishly. "Big Sis, you told me to call you when it was time for a fight."

Ye An blandly looked at him, then turned to Ah Jia. "Is this one of your girlfriends?"

Ah Jia's brows furrowed.

"Don't jump to conclusions, Big Sis. She's not," Ye Guan hurriedly replied.

Ye An nodded slightly. "It's okay. You already have dozens of wives. One more won't hurt."

Ye Guan was speechless.

Dozens of wives? Ah Jia could not help but give him a strange look. Is he a stud?

His older sister was taking her revenge on him.

Oh well. I'll just have to take this loss.

Intuition told him that he would not gain anything from fighting his sister.

Seeing that he was conceding, Ye An stopped provoking him. Instead, she turned to the two god-generals. "How should we attack?"

"With full force," Ah Jia replied.

Ye An nodded. As she stepped forward, a spear appeared in her hand. Her figure shook for a moment as she charged toward the god-generals standing on the left.

Almost at the same time, Ah Jia disappeared as well.

Both were using spears.

Seeing the two ladies attacking, the two god-generals did not hesitate to make a move as well.

Ye Guan's expression changed immediately. The two god-generals were even stronger than he thought!

At that moment, as if thinking of something, his figure flashed, and he flew toward the great hall.

The faces of the god-generals changed instantly.

Damn it! That bastard actually wants to steal from us!

The two were about to turn back and stop him when Ye An and Ah Jia blocked them.

Ye Guan soon entered the great hall. It was very spacious but only had a faceless statue inside. The sight made him frown.

At that moment, he suddenly turned around. Standing in front of him was a white-haired old man staring coldly at him. Dressed in a wide, long robe, he had both his hands hidden in his sleeves.

Ye Guan's guard immediately went up. He didn't notice when the old man appeared.

The old man opened his palm and gently clenched it. In an instant, the spacetime around Ye Guan distorted and billions of stars appeared around him.

Although taken by surprise, Ye Guan dared not to be careless. He lightly tapped his thumb.

Schwing! Boom!

The Xuanyuan Sword flew out and ripped apart the spacetime in front of him. Immediately after, the Xuanyuan Divine Sword flew toward the old man. However, when it was just inches away from him, he suddenly charged forward.

Boom!

The attack knocked the Xuanyuan Sword away.

Ye Guan's eyes narrowed. At that moment, he felt as if mountains were pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe. In response, his body turned illusory. Thousands of swords then instantly rushed out from him.

Buzz!

A burst of sword light fiercely surged out from the hall, cutting through the air.

Bang!

Ye Guan and the old man were both sent flying backward. Ye Guan crashed on the statue, causing it to shatter. He was about to make another move when he realized that the old man was looking at something behind him, his face filled with shock.

Ye Guan frowned and slowly turned around. When he saw what it was, surprise enveloped his expression.

A golden phantom was floating in front of him.

Amid his confusion, the old man slowly knelt on the ground. With a trembling voice, he said, "Supreme God..."

Supreme God?

Ye Guan was stunned.

Is this the First God?

The two god-generals outside the hall suddenly stopped as well. They rushed into the hall and, upon seeing the golden phantom, immediately knelt and said, "Supreme God."

Ye An and Ah Jia followed them inside. When Ah Jia saw the golden phantom, her expression immediately changed.

Ye Guan just stared at the phantom in silence. Although it was right in front of him, he couldn't detect its aura at all. It was absurd.

The phantom slowly raised its head and walked toward the entrance of the grand hall. It then looked at the sky.

The old man, now prostrating with his head on the floor, trembling uncontrollably. The two god-generals were no different.

After a while, the phantom looked at Ye Guan with a slight smile. "So it's you."

Ye Guan was puzzled. "Me?"

The figure nodded.

Ye Guan was still confused. "What do you mean, Senior?"

It laughed but did not say anything in response.

"Senior, are you the Supreme God?" Ah Jia suddenly asked.

The phantom smiled at her. "I like it more when you guys address me as 'First God.'"

Ah Jia was shaken to her core. She was about to kneel but was stopped by a gentle force. That same force also lifted the old man and two god-generals.

The First God slightly shook his head."There's no need for these formalities."

"Supreme God, you've finally returned," The old man excitedly exclaimed.

However, the First God shook his head. He looked at Ye Guan for a little while before he opened his palm, sending a golden imprint slowly floating toward him.

The old man and the two god-generals were filled with disbelief. Ah Jia was shocked as well.

"Senior, what is this?" Ye Guan asked.

Smiling, the First God answered, "That's the Divine Imprint."

"What is it for?"

Ah Jia quickly walked to his side. With a trembling voice, she said, "That's one of the three great treasures of the First God's era. The Temple of the Gods must obey anyone who has the Divine Imprint. In other words, the First God himself has approved you as his inheritor."

Inheritor?

Ye Guan froze.

She continued, "The true purpose of the civil war between the Gods was to seize that Divine Imprint. After all, aside from being a precious treasure, it also gives its owner the ability to command all the strong individuals of the Divine Temple."

Ye Guan didn't know what to say.

Did I just become an inheritor again? I haven't even fully inherited my family's businesses yet, and now I'm inheriting someone else's? No way!

If he inherited this, he would have countless consequences to face. He might even end up being hunted down again. He quickly shook his head and was about to refuse but realized that an outright refusal might be too impolite. Hence, he took the Divine Imprint and ran over to Ye An instead.

Passing it to her, he said, "Big Sis, you take it instead."

Everyone was speechless.

Ye An just stared at him.

"Hurry, take it."

Ye An shook her head. "I don't want it."

Ah Jia, the old man, and the two god-generals were completely bewildered.

Are you two seriously fooling around right now? That's the Divine Imprint, the most precious treasure in the First God's era! It's a symbol of supreme authority, yet you two don't want it?

Ye Guan became a little anxious. "Big Sis, this is good stuff."

"Are you trying to pick a fight?" Ye An coldly questioned.

Ye Guan froze.

At that moment, Ah Jia ran to his side.

"That is the Divine Imprint," she reminded.

Ye Guan sighed softly. While outsiders might see the Divine Imprint as a valuable treasure, he knew that it would not be easy to handle. Although he was not afraid of the consequences, he had just started enjoying a few peaceful days. He really did not want to get involved in any more exhausting messes now. He just wanted to quietly focus on his cultivation.

Unable to bear his unwillingness, the old man said, "Young man, that is the Divine Imprint. The Divine Imprint!"

Ye Guan handed the mark to the old man. "Here, you can have it."

The old man froze. He was starting to get annoyed. If they were not in the First God's presence, he would have already acted.

Suddenly, the First God chuckled. "You really don't want it?"

"Why do you even want to give this to me?" Ye Guan asked.

"Aren't you trying to establish a new order?"

Ye Guan frowned.

The First God continued, "Within the Divine Imprint are all of the treasures of the Divine Temple, including nine Ancestral Veins that can continuously produce strands of Ancestral Origin. I've also stored in it a few other divine objects that I have collected back then."

Ye Guan was rendered speechless.

The First God laughed. "If you want to change the world, why are you being so timid?"

Staring at him, Ye Guan said, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior."

Putting the Divine Imprint away, he then asked, "Do you know about the current state of the Temple?"

"I do."

"Many of those who once followed you have betrayed you."

The First God only smiled, which puzzled Ye Guan a little.

"Don't you have any thoughts on this matter?"

"That is something for you to handle now," the First God nonchalantly replied.

When Ye Guan's face darkened, the First God chuckled.

"Come with me," he said.

The First God then turned around. Before Ye Guan could react, he was pulled into an unknown expanse of the starry sky. Ye An and the others were dragged with him too.

After spending quite some time staring into the distance, the First God softly said, "Everyone has evil thoughts, ambitions, and desires. Once you've done something for a long, long time, you start to become bored and lonely. Hence, you'll try to do things you haven't done before."

"Is that caused by your evil beliefs?" Ye Guan wondered.

"You can say that."

"I heard from the Great Daoist Brush Master that you wanted to experience divinity..."

"The Great Daoist Brush Master is still around?"

"Yes. Do you know him too?"

"A little."

"What era is he from exactly?"

"Didn't he tell you?"

"No."

"Then let him tell you himself."

Ye Guan was speechless.

"Do you know what kind of people are the most terrifying?" First God suddenly asked.

His gaze pierced through the countless galaxies. At the farthest end of the starry sky, he saw a woman in a plain skirt.

Answering his own question, he said, "A person who can suppress ninety percent of their divinity with ten percent of their humanity..."

Humans who possessed full humanity and Gods who possessed full divinity were not terrifying. However, a person who could suppress ninety percent of their divinity using ten percent of their humanity...

The First God once possessed full humanity and full divinity. However, when he tried to use his humanity to suppress his divinity, he failed. Now, he had found out that someone had managed to achieve what he couldn't.

Hence, he concluded that for as long as one was strong enough, even divinity and humanity would become their slaves...
