Chapter 797: The Illumination of Multicolored Lights
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Within the jungle, one man and one woman were traveling on a gorgeous tiger. It was exceptional. One look was enough to tell that it was extremely formidable.
And behind it, a weirdo with two faces was following.
“What are you thinking? Yunmu?” Brunhilda frowned asked suspiciously with a frown.
She had seen Li Yunmu gather villagers in the open space of the village. At first, she had thought that he was going to do something interesting, but who could have expected that he led the mortals into destroying their reverence to the gods by prompting them to hit the god before them.
Even if it wasn’t a god but a transformed shadow.
It was still considered to be rebellious in the five regions though. But what was more unbelievable was that after Li Yunmu destroyed their reverence toward the gods, he imparted them with cultivation methods, firmly planting the thought of killing gods in their mortal hearts.
That thought might be fleeting, but as long as even a hint of it existed in the people’s hearts and someone was able to successfully become a half god by relying on the gifted cultivation methods, the entire world might welcome a transformation through iron and blood. At that time, the gods would not be able to remain arrogant and aloof. Their whole clans might cease to exist.
It was clear that Li Yunmu was rescuing mortals, and Brunhilda, who was an ancient god, could not understand why he did it. Li Yunmu himself was already a god and could be considered as a member of a god clan, so the children between the two of them would be born as gods.
If the mortals rebelled and killed gods, then would that not be tantamount to Li Yunmu killing himself?
Li Yunmu gave a glance to Brunhilda and said in a profound tone while stroking her hair, “As a god born from an ancient god, you won’t understand this.”
“Why won’t I understand? You have become a god, but now you are trying to smash the ancient regulations of this world, prompting the mortals to kill gods. Why exactly are you doing that? What’s the benefit? When the time comes and mortals kill gods, how will we keep on living?”
While saying that, Brunhilda became somewhat angry, but she controlled her emotions and looked at Li Yunmu, waiting for his reply.
“Little Bu, you have been an ancient god for so long… Don’t tell me that you haven’t noticed that this world has been decaying?”
Li Yunmu tried to test her, since he had to take a different approach while talking to Brunhilda compared to the system. The system was the True God, so it naturally knew about the changes in the world.
Brunhilda, however, was not like that. She was born to an ancient god and was herself an ancient goddess for a very long time, so from childhood, she was imbued with thinking that mortals and gods were nothing alike.
“Not really. What do you mean by decay? This world has not changed a bit. Yunmu, you are being too mistrustful. The traditions between mortals and gods were established by the True God in the beginning.”
Brunhilda looked at Li Yunmu’s cautious appearance and suddenly smiled.
“Wrong. If I said that this world has become rotten, you won’t understand clearly. But hear me out. The gods have been on top for a very long time while the mortals below them have never gotten the opportunity to change their fate. Because of this vicious cycle, the entire world has begun to rot. Take a look at yourself. You were innately born as a god, and now you have become an ancient god.”
Brunhilda nodded while not really understanding and immediately asked, “So what? What’s the relation between these two things?”
“Above the ancient gods, there are master gods and above the master gods, there are True Gods. But have you never thought of advancing to the next level?”Li Yunmu asked with raised eyebrows.
“The thinking of gods and mortals have become excessively obstinate. Without battle, there is no opportunity to move forward, so I want mortals to start killing gods.
“Only when the gods face death will they feel a sense of crisis, and because of that sense of crisis, the living creatures of this world will again move forward by a step.”
Brunhilda looked at Li Yunmu while frowning in confusion. “Since there are no enemies, what’s the point of advancing forward? Apart from the seven ancient gods of Lanlou who are still vying over mortals to obtain even more power of belief, a fixed distance has been maintained between the gods and mortals of the other four regions, so there’s no bullying of mortals.”
“You don’t understand!”
After dropping that line, Li Yunmu closed his eyes to recuperate. Brunhilda, who was sitting in the front, still hadn’t finished talking before she was interrupted, but she did not continue and began to look at the jungle in deep thought.
As for Chen Xiu who was walking behind the fierce tiger, he looked at the two gods sitting on the tiger with an eccentric gaze.
They were surprisingly discussing the problem of mortals and gods for half a day, leaving him completely puzzled. Just a moment ago, he had also seen something which had crushed all of his understanding of the world, completely destroying his worldview.
Despite being a member of the four great clans of Asura City, Chen Xiu was only a descendent of a branch family and when compared to direct descendents with pure bloodlines who would definitely turn into gods as time passed, he would only be able to reach great circle sage flux expert even if he tried his hardest throughout his life.
In front of gods, mortals were just ants.
Because of that, Chen Xiu had fought in his clan to obtain the secret mission of capturing Ancient God Ganesh’s soul, which could be exchanged for the qualifications to become a god with Ancient God Asura.
Then, out of nowhere, two gods had appeared, thinking of instigating mortals to rebel and pull down the gods from heaven. But weren’t they themselves gods?
This sort of brazen thinking was really exciting, and it was perhaps Chen Xiu’s best opportunity. If they talked about mortals dragging the gods down, then the two gods in front of him were definitely capable of bestowing a cultivation method to let him reach the god realm. Perhaps there was only a slight chance of him becoming a god with that, but at least there was a path in front of him.
Instead of combing through such a large city like Ganesh City in search of the soul of Ancient God Ganesh, it would be better to pledge loyalty to the two gods. It would give him a much greater chance to become a god.
After pondering it in his heart, Chen Xiu made his decision. He no longer hesitated and suddenly knelt down while the tiger walking in front of him continued on its tracks.
Li Yunmu, who sat atop it, turned around and looked back. “Why the hell are you kneeling? If you have something to say, then speak.”
“This lowly one… This lowly one wants to recognize you as master. I beg master to bestow the opportunity to become a god to me.”
Chen Xiu’s front face was touching the ground while the face on his back revealed a smile while looking at Li Yunmu.
“Depends upon your performance.”
Li Yunmu gave a careless reply before turning around and patting the fierce tiger’s head, indicating for it to continue walking. Chen Xiu, who knelt on the ground, promptly stood up and excitedly followed behind them. Since the other party hadn’t vetoed his suggestion directly, there was still an opportunity. His gamble had succeeded.
“There is another village nearby. Is it the one you mentioned before?”
The map of the entire Lanlou was in Li Yunmu’s brain, and the village ahead of them was only a mountain away from the one they passed through.
Even with the two villages so close, Asura had surprisingly dispatched two squads.
Suddenly, a flowing five-colored light appeared in the sky, illuminating half of it. Moments later, cannon shots flew out of the silent jungle and exploded in the sky one after another.
“Ancient God Ganesh’s soul has been found?” Li Yunmu murmured to himself while looking at the colorful lights blooming in the sky.
