“Fourth Brother, do you think, any of the eight of them have different intentions?”
The Main God dressed in green robes raised the question worryingly.
“Haha, to be a Main God is something that no one can resist, it relates to their power, and their standing as well…”
The Main God in the red robe was confident, he was once powerless and insignificant, and he had climbed his way up to where he was now, understanding all too well the constant growth of such desire.
However, even if he spoke as such, there was still something unspeakable in his heart.
…
“Are there any of you who have not received the Gods’ Talisman given by my lord? Every hour, the lord will guide us to the location of the invaders…”
One of the strongest eight gods below the Main God was wrapping up the final mobilization speech.
Despite their eagerness to take all the credit, these necessary steps still need to be taken!
“What a bother!”
One of the eight, a muscular man, grimaced at this scene. Having checked the latest location of Du Gang and the others in the Gods’ Talisman, he could no longer contain himself, he leapt up and with every step, he would span a distance of several tens of meters. In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared from everyone’s sight.
Seeing him leave, the other gods fell into disarray, not caring to listen to any more nagging from their superiors, they all hurriedly followed.
It wasn’t just these ordinary gods, the foremost eight among the gods could not help themselves either. They swiftly gave chase.
After all, it related to whether they could win the honor and the appointment for the remaining three positions of the Main God.
“Such a rush…”
The man who was previously motivating the others, chuckled lightly as he watched the departing figures.
Suddenly, he noticed a voluptuous woman standing nearby, she hadn’t left and was smiling at him.
“Fire Thorn Lady, aren’t you going?”
Fire Thorn Lady smiled sweetly, “Aren’t you here as well?”
“Cang Yu, are you staying here because you have a plan?”
Cang Yu, without any expression, shrugged, “What plan could I have, our immediate priority, of course, is the mission…”
Having said that, he couldn’t be bothered to deal with Fire Thorn Lady anymore, he leaped up himself, heading in the direction where everyone had departed and began to track them.
Who would have thought, Fire Thorn Lady stuck to him like glue, almost inseperable, and followed him for quite a distance.
“What are you doing?”
Cang Yu stopped at a tree, frowning as he spoke.
Fire Thorn Lady responded with a charming smile, “Everyone’s been calling me the goddess of fire, flocking to me everywhere, except for you. You avoid me like the plague as if I’m some deadly sea poison…”
“Isn’t it so?”
Cang Yu responded calmly,”The things you eat for nourishing your skin, should I spell them out for you?”
Fire Thorn Lady’s expression faltered, a flicker of anger flashed in her eyes, but she managed to suppress it, adopting a cool demeanor.
“Cang Yu, you know quite a lot, but I also know a few things about you…”
Cang Yu didn’t seem to bother, he responded indifferently, “You’re referring to the incident at Jade Lotus Sect?”
His casual demeanour suggested he didn’t care about what Fire Thorn Lady was saying at all.
“Hehe, Jade Lotus Sect?”
Fire Thorn Lady sneered, “Wasn’t that incident contrived by you?”
“You’re too clever, cleverly terrifying even. The incident, although it seemed like it exposed your weakness that others could exploit, was actually a ploy contrived by you to lower the others’ guard, wasn’t it?”
Cang Yu’s previously calm expression changed drastically in that moment, his eyes, shining like torches, stared coldly at Fire Thorn Lady. His gaze was as sharp and piercing as a blade.
Being on the same level as him, Fire Thorn Lady wasn’t scared at all. In fact, she didn’t flinch a bit and looked at him with a taunting expression.
“Huff.”
Cang Yu took a deep breath, his face a mix of disgruntlement, reluctance, and frustration. Then, he suppressed that breath, lifting up his head to ask, “How did you know? Did ‘Fire’ tell you?”
‘Fire’ was the alias for the Main God in the red robe.
In Jin Biao’s small world, such single-syllabic names with attributes can only be used by Main Gods.
Fire Thorn Lady didn’t deny it at all, she nodded and laughed, “That’s right, I got the old chap drunk, he revealed quite a few secrets…”
Got him drunk? With Celestial Immortal Liquor?
Cang Yu’s pupils contracted momentarily but soon relaxed, he thought, “But isn’t that stuff supposed to be sealed?”
Fire Thorn Lady was carefree and responded.”Just because it’s sealed doesn’t mean it can’t be used.”
She spoke lightly, but Cang Yu knew that the stuff, like a strategic weapon, could get even God Spirit Level gods drunk, emphasizing its value.
Perhaps there were many such wines in the outside world, but here, every single cup was enough to put a God Spirit Level god to sleep. This included the four Main Gods, who once put to sleep, could be killed.
Therefore, to prevent this from happening to them, the Seven Gods had sealed away all the Celestial Immortal Liquor, no one was allowed to use it.
As for why they didn’t destroy it…
This was akin to asking why a nation wouldn’t destroy its own nuclear weapons. This thing, even though it posed a danger to them, also posed a lethal threat to everyone in the small world!
Cang Yu frowned, “‘Fire’ has unsealed the Celestial Immortal Liquor?”
“Stop pretending!”
Fire Thorn Lady suddenly spat these few words out.
Seeing that Cang Yu remained silent, she sneered, revealing a mocking smile, “Didn’t you steal it first?”
“Boom!”
A gigantic wave of pressure emanated instantly from Cang Yu.
“What are you trying to do?”
Fire Thorn Lady was nonplussed and unaffected by this oncoming pressure. She chuckled, “I already know of your plan. I want to join.”
Cang Yu’s emotions were all over the place; this was his biggest secret. Even when the incident at Jade Lotus Sect was singled out, it was only part of his pretense. But now, his true feelings were showing.
The plan in question was his biggest secret!
At this moment, countless thoughts crossed his mind.
Kill her, kill her, kill her!
This thought circled around in his head three times, but he eventually suppressed it.
I’m not like Lei Jiao, I can’t act recklessly…
Lei Jiao was indeed the muscular man who had left first. He valued strength the most; as long as something could be solved with one punch, he never gave other options any thought.
After a long while, he had finally calmed down. Rekindling a glimmer of hope, he tentatively asked, “What plan are you referring to?”
“Haha!”
Fire Thorn Lady laughed, taunting him, “So, the mighty Cang Yu also has his own days like these, huh?”
At this moment, she felt as if a wave of frustration had been lifted off her chest.
This Cang Yu, although he never insulted her in his words…
But, his usual attitude really infuriated her, as well as everyone else.
It was as if he was saying, “I’m smart, you’re stupid,” and every time she felt that way around Cang Yu, she wanted to kill him on the spot.
Cang Yu didn’t respond, he was waiting for her.
He needed to know what she knew, and how much she knew.
Seeing that he was still hanging on, Fire Thorn Lady let out a scoff, then she slowly spat out four words.
“God Destruction Plan!”
“Boom!”
At this moment, the whole space seemed to freeze, waves of spatial ripples appeared out of nowhere.
He was a spatial-practice cultivator, also known as Cang within Jin Biao’s small world.
“Among the eight of us, even though we serve under the Seven Gods, there is still a pecking order…”
Cang Yu’s face was stern, his silver hair moved without wind, “Your name consists of three characters, whereas mine only has two!”
The shorter the name, the stronger the power!
The so-called God Destruction Plan he was secretly working on alluded to his plan to eradicate the four Main Gods above him!
This idea came to him a year ago.
Without the interference of the Heavenly Court, his mind would have been occupied with how to contend with the gods under the other six Main Gods and how to disgrace the other twelve secondary gods.
Actually, there were fourteen Subordinate Gods who had reached the Nine Tribulation God Spirit Level in total when the Seven Gods were all present.
Now, only eight remained, precisely the ones under the remaining four Main Gods.
The other six, who had reached Nine Tribulation God Spirit Level, were all killed by these four Main Gods under some pretense.
That was quite a grand operation!
These six Nine Tribulation God Spirits collectively possessed fifty-four deities, each of which was formidable in its own right.
At that time, they paid a hefty price, with countless Lower-Rank Gods and Middle-Rank Gods dying to annihilate them.
Actually, for the remaining four Main Gods, killing these six would have been relatively straightforward.
But surprisingly, they did not make a move directly, but rather let their minions carry out the task.
One of the purposes, as Cang Yu saw clearly, was to purposely let these gods die!
To minimize their own risks!
To these four, two hundred subordinate gods of God Spirit Level were too many, and the threat of them forming an alliance against them was looming.
A hundred of them, however, would be just right. It was a manageable number as well as a perfect balance between loyalty and threat – a very safe number.
It was then that he realized his standing in the eyes of these Main Gods.
Furthermore, he began to wonder whether if the Main God he affiliated with had died instead, would he have been the one killed by the others?
He participated in the event and, not only that, he killed several deities among those six by his own hands.
A wise man always thinks ahead, and Cang Yu was such a man. He was full of ambition and highly conscious of his own safety.
On the surface, he remained the same, but in secret, he was contemplating how best to execute his God Destruction Plan.
Among his plans, the Celestial Immortal Liquor played one of the most important roles.
His thoughts had not strayed too far and quickly returned to reality. He couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief as he looked at the determined Fire Thorn Lady.
If Fire Thorn Lady had indeed sided with the four Main Gods, he would have been surrounded and on the brink of death.
But now, there was literally nobody around. He could faintly sense a shield around him blocking outside information.
That meant Fire Thorn Lady had put up a shield while speaking to him. She too didn’t want others to eavesdrop on them.
Therefore, she genuinely wanted to join him and become part of the God Destruction Plan!
Cang Yu did not refute her directly, but instead said, “Since you already know this, let me reveal a truth to you…”
“The Seven Main Gods were not all achieved through the cultivation methods passed down directly by Jin Biao…”
He had heard of the famous Jin Biao from the last heavenly envoy who arrived a year ago.
Thinking back, he owed thanks to that powerful talkative individual. Through his aimless talks, he learned a great deal about the outside world.
Cang Yu’s mind was in a mess with various thoughts churning around inside.
He needed to focus!
He quickly came to this realization, slowly converging his mind and shedding all distracting thoughts. Then he continued, “The divine arts have a spirit of their own. The seven divine methods were learned by Jin Biao. After his death, they were naturally born in the small world he left behind, that is, our world…”
“Each of these methods, once they are lost, will reappear in the small world in different ways…”
“I’ve researched some ancient books and found some clues in artifacts excavated from deep underground…”
“I can confirm that these methods’ resurgence is true since over the years… the Seven Main Gods have changed multiple times…”
“Currently, we have the opportunity to lay our hands on the legacies left behind by the three deceased Main Gods…”
Cang Yu smiled, “There are already signs that the three inherited methods are about to present themselves to the world…”
The claim by the three Main Gods that they were chosen by the other four was mere deception. The real successor would naturally emerge in the small world.
Therefore, no matter where the succession appears, it would be subjected to a joint attack by the four of them.
Although Cang Yu wasn’t mind reader, he was adept at placing himself in others’ shoes.
If I were the Main God, would I really empower three individuals who were once my underlings to reign alongside me?
No!
And so, when the four Main Gods promised others the position of Main God along their side, it deepened his suspicions.
He speculated that the four Main Gods were planning to wipe out the rest of them as well!
Start over with new recruits?
He blinked and began to recall.
It was more than a million years ago.
He was still a child, a child scavenging for food in a dump.
At the time, the Seven Gods Palace miraculously began large-scale testing of the talents of children to bring them under their training programs.
Thus, he gradually rose through the ranks, eventually becoming one of the lead trainees.
Though the so-called lead training group was not small in number, the initial batch had tens of thousands of members.
As the years passed, every few hundred years would give birth to a new batch of rising stars.
They were the stepping stones for others to ascend to godhood!
Even he had lost count of the number of bones he had stepped on to ascend to where he stood now.
At the time, due to his deep-rooted beliefs, he had always regarded the Seven Gods as heavenly beings.
As his power grew, as his perspectives widened and he learned more, and as he got to interact with the Seven Gods closely, he came to see that they were as human as him, full of emotions and desires. This realization made him put his fanaticism behind and become more level-headed.
Eventually, he did find the answer.
It turned out that before the birth of the Seven Gods, Jin Biao’s small world was incredibly chaotic.
The Seven Gods each had their own territory, waged wars against each other, and sought to destroy the others so as to be the sole god of this world.
However, whenever a Main God fell, after merely a few years, someone else would inherit his legacy. In a short few thousand years or up to tens of thousands of years, another god spirit would rise and ascend to the level of a Main God.
Thus, over a million years ago, the Seven Gods formed an unprecedented alliance, swore brotherhood to each other, established the Seven Gods Palace, and began dealing with the world’s affairs collectively.
This was because they realized that the Seven Gods were constant. If one of them died, another would take his place.
If this chaos was allowed to continue, any one of them could be replaced!
As long as the seven of them remained alive, no replacement would be necessary.
It was also during this period that they started recruiting people with extraordinary talents, in order to decrease the likelihood of being replaced.
Was I the most outstanding individual they recruited back then?
Cang Yu shook his head. There were many who far outshone him.
A close friend of his, extraordinarily talented, was once sent on a difficult mission because he was too exceptional. He never returned.
Back then, he had been filled with sorrow and had lamented over his friend’s untimely death.
However, as his horizons broadened, he finally understood that these exceptional individuals were, in fact, assassinated by the Seven Main Gods behind the scenes.
The seemingly glorious Seven Gods Palace was, in fact, far from clean!
Sigh!
