Chapter 2496 The Attack of Narakuten!
This is an instinct of fungal organisms.
Given the immense size of the Hidden God's body, this instinct could not be suppressed, and the birth of the new consciousness was also very secretive, making it difficult even for the Heavenly Demon to detect.
Therefore, the Lingxu Clan needs the "Yangguan Path" to find the buds of these new consciousnesses and nip them in the bud before they begin to grow.
The "Yangguan Road" is a divine artifact that cannot be forged casually. In fact, even for a great figure like the First Shore Immortal, its appearance back then was purely accidental.
Want to forge a second "Yangguan Road"? Then go ahead and try.
Lingxu Saint Venerable will have to think of a good way to stabilize the body of the Hidden God.
He Lingchuan's victory in the Battle of Yujing City, besides protecting Panlong City and Dafanghu, was the most important, albeit hidden, victory!
He has once again thwarted the gods' plan to descend!
Why did I say "again"?
Puyin also said, "Because of this matter, you have almost become the number one enemy of the Heavenly Realm. If other gods discover that I have been contacting you in private, I'm afraid that even without Lingxu Saint Venerable's intervention, some gods will put me to death."
He Lingchuan touched his face: "So I'm that unpopular in the Heavenly Realm?"
"Do you know how many gods hate you to the bone?" Puin's tone was also strange. "Once we descend to the mortal realm, you will be the enemy of all the gods, and you will surely die without a burial place!"
He Lingchuan shrugged, unconcerned. As the saying goes, the more debts you have, the less you worry.
"Any other news? You just mentioned Narakuten?"
The fact that the demons hated him shows that his actions had caused them serious harm.
This is war.
The more severely the enemy is wounded, the more advantageous it is for our side.
"Yes, Narakuten has made his move." Puin God paused for a few moments before saying, "Did you all plan this out?"
"Why do you say that?" He Lingchuan's heart stirred, recalling his conversation with He Chunhua not long ago.
Could it be?
"Not long ago, Narakuten suddenly attacked Lingxu, saying that they had deceived the Heavenly Realm and that they could only provide less than two thousand divine bodies!" Puyin said, word by word. "On that occasion, there were at least three thousand gods present."
"Oh? That's interesting?" He Lingchuan looked surprised. This wasn't an act; Narakuten's behavior genuinely surprised him. "He can't just be making baseless accusations, can he? He must have some evidence, right?"
As expected of Narakuten, either they don't do anything at all, or when they do, they do something this big!
In broad daylight, and in a public place.
"Yes." The most interesting part is here: "He found two celestial beings to testify that they were actually researchers from the Lingxu Clan who conducted divine body studies on behalf of the Holy Venerable, and their divine attributes were somewhat similar to life divine attributes."
He Lingchuan couldn't help but laugh: "What weakness did Naraku Heaven exploit that made them dare to go against the Holy Venerable Lingxu?"
"I don't know about that." As a minor god, Puyin God was not familiar with many of the deep secrets of the Heavenly Realm. "They went further and said that only 1,200 of the more than 2,000 divine bodies were allocated to the Lingxu Clan, and the rest were to be used by outsiders."
"Amazing!" He Lingchuan clapped his hands in admiration. "Truly amazing!"
Actually, there's a flaw here. The two gods who studied the divine bodies were both people who obeyed orders. How could they know how these two thousand-plus divine bodies would be distributed in the end?
But it doesn't matter, as long as Narakuten prepares the speech for them, the other gods will be willing to believe them.
Divinity is humanity.
“What’s even more terrifying is…” Puin’s voice was tinged with a bitter laugh, “Narakuten actually produced a pre-selected list of 1,800 divine bodies!”
"A pre-selected list?"
"Yes, the list of which gods are qualified to descend at that time has already been written down."
He Lingchuan suddenly realized. No wonder Narakuten had been so quiet lately; he had been secretly plotting something big.
"Has the Holy Venerable Lingxu ever publicly announced the selection process for those qualified to descend as gods?"
“Never,” Puin sighed. “In fact, most of the gods know that good things don’t come their way. But the gods always think that there will be a sign when things start, but they never expect that by the time they hear the news, they are already nearing the end.”
We need to know when this starts so we can figure out how to get it done.
There were only a little over two thousand slots in total. While all the gods in the heavens were kept in the dark, eighteen hundred of them had already been secretly reserved!
How many divine bodies are left for the gods of all living beings? Four hundred or five hundred?
"Over the past hundred hours, the Lingxu Clan has been in complete chaos."
He Lingchuan nodded slowly: "Of course it's the Lingxu Clan! The Lingxu Saint Venerable once told them that there would be nine thousand divine bodies assigned to them, but now it has shrunk to just over a thousand."
Compared to the gods of the heavens, the gods of the spirit realm must have experienced the greatest psychological gap.
The number of bodies dropped from over nine thousand to over one thousand. In the former case, everyone was guaranteed a place in the lower realm, while in the latter case, it was one in eight. In the former case, one could rest easy, while in the latter case, one had to fight tooth and nail to get a chance.
This is a fundamental difference; how could the Lingxu Clan not be thrown into chaos?
"As soon as this list was published, more than forty celestial beings ranked lower on the list were attacked, seventeen were injured, and five died. The attacks affected both inside and outside the Lingxu Clan."
The Soul-Capturing Mirror whistled: "Was it that exciting? The Celestial God is indeed formidable, not much inferior to the people of Changfeng Valley."
After listening, He Lingchuan said, "It's either a surge of anger or an attempt to fish in troubled waters."
Those ranked high on the list are definitely big shots, and others wouldn't dare to mess with them; but those ranked lower, everyone thinks, "He's not much more powerful than me, so why can he go down to the mortal realm while I can't? Did he ask the Holy Venerable Lingxu to do something to him?"
Fuck Him!
Ordinary gods might not be so indignant, but let's not forget who published this list?
Regardless of how Naraku obtained the list, He should have been fully aware of the outcome of its publication and likely had already prepared for further action. Was the attack on the gods on the list orchestrated by Kshatriyas?
Previously, the Holy Venerable Lingxu used his divine body as bait to undermine the various forces. Shali Heaven also suffered a loss, and its internal affairs were thrown into chaos. How could it not want to take revenge?
Puyin sighed, "The problem is that when Narakuten's information is put together with the good deed you just did, everyone believes it even more."
The gods' plan to seize the "Yangguan Road" was recently thwarted by the Nine Nether Emperor. All the gods understand that without this divine artifact, the Lingxu Clan simply cannot create so many divine bodies.
Long-standing suspicions have recently begun to surface in a concentrated manner.
Just then, Narakuten dropped these two explosive pieces of news, which caused chaos in the heavenly realm.
The advantage of rumors is that they can spread widely without evidence, and many people/gods believe them.
He Lingchuan laughed and said, "You're wrong. It was clearly Narakuten who timed this perfectly before releasing these two pieces of news."
