Chapter 2256 The Methods of the Holy Venerable Lingxu
"The physical bodies are all in the mortal realm, and are controlled by the Heavenly Palace, which is controlled by the Holy Venerable Lingxu. Other gods who wish to descend to the mortal realm must obtain the consent of the gods of Lingxu."
"Limited quantity?" He Lingchuan pondered. "How limited?"
"From what I've heard, the maximum number is less than 13,000."
He Lingchuan laughed: "The number of Lingxu gods is less than nine thousand, and their physical forms are just a little more than that number? The Holy Venerable Lingxu is testing you."
Puyin sighed.
How could it and the other gods not know this?
The Holy Venerable Lingxu's announcement of this number is to inform the entire Demon Realm:
"Besides the Lingxu Clan, there are four thousand spots available in the lower realms. Who wants them?"
Who wouldn't want that?
The very essence of the demon realm has decayed, while life thrives in the human world. The instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm is inherent in all living beings, and even the celestial demons are no exception.
"If you want a spot in the lower realm, you have to curry favor with the Holy Venerable Lingxu. And there aren't many spots available, so if you want one, you have to hurry up and fawn over the Holy Venerable Lingxu," He Lingchuan murmured. "What a brilliant hand."
The Holy Venerable Lingxu's move can indeed temporarily suppress the deep-seated hatred between the Heavenly Demons.
Only when something involves the vital interests of every demon will they seriously prioritize the overall situation.
Xing Longzhu's ability to sow discord and incite conflict has temporarily lost its effectiveness.
"What conditions must be agreed to for the celestial demons outside of the Lingxu Clan who want to obtain the skin of the lower realm?"
“I don’t know about that.” Puyin’s voice was a little dry. “But I’ve heard that several gods have already obtained it. They are all leaders of their respective forces, with status and prestige.”
"Then what about minor gods like you?" He Lingchuan asked it seriously, not sarcastically. "Assuming that what the Holy Venerable Lingxu said is true, only a little over 20% of the Heavenly Demons will be able to escape the Demon Realm, and the majority of the rest will be abandoned on the spot."
Puyin God remained silent.
It's unlikely that such a good thing as returning to the human world will happen to it.
They didn't want to sit idly by and wait to die; they were trying to find a solution.
“If the Holy Venerable Lingxu’s experiment is a complete success, I’ll give you a suggestion,” He Lingchuan said with a smile. “No matter how powerful the Lingxu Clan is, their physical bodies are still preserved in the mortal realm. Find some reliable and capable people to help you steal one, and you won’t have to fawn over them in the heavens.”
Puyin said irritably, "You're really clever."
Its temple in the human world is small and its people are few. Where can it find such a master? The Lingxu Clan's corresponding power in the human world is the Heavenly Palace, which is also a unique existence, possessing all the masters and great demons of Bega.
“There are more capable people in the world than just Bega.” He Lingchuan stopped there, then took out seven more Dragon-Slaying Pillars and, together with the original seven, circled the statue three times in the smoke.
"Thank you very much. It's been a pleasure doing business with you."
He had just placed Xing Longzhu on the table when Xing Longzhu disappeared.
As the smoke dissipated, Puyin God departed.
He Lingchuan opened the doors and windows, gazing at the garden outside for a long time in a daze.
An hour later, Du Shan was summoned to the palace and respectfully bowed:
"Emperor!"
He Lingchuan then told him what had happened that day.
Even with Du Shan's shrewdness, he was moved several times.
After He Lingchuan finished speaking, he asked him, "What do you think?"
As Du Shan listened and pondered, he immediately replied, "The Holy Venerable Lingxu's move is quite brilliant. In the short term, it can turn the tide, temporarily suppress the turmoil in the Demon Realm, and attract all the experts from the Demon Realm. It seems that they are going to abandon most of the Heavenly Demons."
He Lingchuan propped his temples up: "It never intended to involve all the Heavenly Demons in the game."
I can't carry it, I can't carry it at all.
In recent years, the Demon Realm has been in complete chaos. The Holy Venerable Lingxu should be well aware that the good order of the past can never be restored.
From its perspective, the demons eat its food and then smash its pot, so why should it bother to bring along these ungrateful wretches who only drag it down?
Tired.
Therefore, in this declaration to the mortal realm, the Holy Venerable Lingxu also stated his position very decisively:
I only bring my own people down to the mortal realm.
Anyone who wants to return to the human world must first become one of his own.
Even across the barriers of the world, He Lingchuan could sense the helplessness of the Holy Venerable Lingxu.
Originally, it probably really wanted all the demons to descend to the mortal realm, right? More people, no, more demons, more power.
Unfortunately, the situation has changed.
"But it's only temporary," Du Shan said. "Most demons won't give up once they realize they can't descend to the mortal realm."
"They're just a rabble; they can't stir up any trouble in the heavens." After fighting in the heavens for so many years, the Lingxu Gods have suffered severe damage, but they are still the overlords of the demon realm. "I think the Lingxu Saint Venerable is trying his best to divide the Kshatriya Heaven and other opposing forces. The likes of Naraku Heaven are probably the ones they are trying to win over."
Like the Kshatriyas, the Void Realm contains deities of different ranks. The Void Saint Venerable only grants access to top-tier figures and capable individuals in the middle ranks, but not to lower-ranking minor or wild gods. Dragons associate with dragons, phoenixes with phoenixes, and the rats and their friends can stay where they are.
"What the Emperor says is absolutely right. In this way, the forces opposing Lingxu will be greatly reduced. However, these rejected Heavenly Demons cannot cause any trouble in the heavens, but they can oppose Lingxu in the mortal realm."
This statement is exactly the same as what He Lingchuan said to Pu Yinshen just now.
Du Shan continued, "Several years ago, you heard about the movements in the Demon Realm. Most of the Heavenly Demons not only questioned whether the God Descent experiment could succeed, but also questioned the number of God Descent bodies."
He Lingchuan nodded.
Just over half a year ago, a demon was mocking the Heavenly Palace's experiments with demon puppets, ridiculing it for wasting its energy on useless work.
Now that Venerable Lingxu has proven the feasibility of using demon puppets as divine manifestations, the next question will be raised:
How many divine bodies can the Heavenly Palace actually create?
“Thirteen thousand? This number will definitely arouse suspicion.” Du Shan blinked. “If the Holy Venerable Lingxu spreads such rumors, it will be easy for others to seize on it. If someone spreads rumors and leads most of the Heavenly Demons to believe that the Heavenly Palace can only create a maximum of two thousand Divine Descendants, then not only will the Holy Venerable Lingxu’s newly gained advantage be broken, but the Lingxu Clan will also be thrown into chaos.”
The harmony within the Lingxu Clan is due to the assurances of the Lingxu Holy Venerable that each of them will receive a divine body.
If this number is compressed to two thousand, it means that only 20% of the Heavenly Demons within the Lingxu Clan can obtain a ticket to the Lower Realm.
Oh no, some of these two thousand should be set aside for the experts and elites recruited from outside.
At that time, the spirits of the masses will likely feel the same anger as those abandoned minor and wild gods outside.
"It takes only a mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of legwork to prove them." He Lingchuan smiled. "Even the Venerable Lingxu couldn't prove himself in time when faced with such rumors."
Thirteen thousand? Hey, that number is highly inflated, and besides, the experiment wasn't entirely successful. What does the Venerable Lingxu have to prove?
