"Betrayal?" Ye Laohei grinned and said, "I hope they do betray the faith—then they won't even need to make a move. Naturally, an envoy of the gods will come to kill them. You must know that this is rule-based killing. Even true immortals cannot resist it!"
The power of the Eternal Executor—Ye Laohei had naturally seen it from the recordings. And ever since he had gotten in touch with Chu Xuanfeng, the two would chat for a while every day. For example, discussing fighting styles and exchanging techniques! This was probably how things went in the group as well—discussing academic research and studying the way of laws with high priests of similar attributes.
In a certain school, nestled within a beautiful valley, some time ago they had welcomed a distinguished guest.
A descendant of the Qing Emperor! A prodigy of the monster race!
Deep within the beautiful mountains, a woman was waiting for the opening of a certain cemetery. And the gods' descent into the world from the previous time had given her a gnawing sense of crisis. She hadn't even laughed for several days.
"The latest news is that after the Shaoguang Holy Land was destroyed, the Ji family sent their children to the forbidden area to make atonement!"
"That's right. It seems we can't wait any longer, or something will happen!"
"Why?"
Qin Yao couldn't help but ask.
The woman within the misty hollow gazed at the clouds and mist that kept gathering, and sighed: "When a god descends into the world, there must be a great change... The grave is open, and the other party will certainly intervene!"
"So that's it!"
The charming woman suddenly realized! So that was the reason.
However, it was indeed very possible that this would happen. Once the religious faction probed the intelligence here, without even thinking about it, they would definitely come. It was a big deal—it truly was grievous to have to evacuate right at the door!
Qin Yao was a little annoyed. She turned around and prepared to give orders to begin evacuation.
At that very moment, a crack tore through the sky.
Countless currents of air rushed backward. All the great demons in the vicinity let out stern roars one after another.
The ethereal woman suddenly turned around, watching as two men walked out of the torn sky!
The other party locked onto her at a glance.
They had come for her.
Yan Ruyu didn't even have time to deploy the trump card in her hand before she was trapped within the mountain by a fierce sacred fire. The power of the scorching flames destroyed this fairyland completely!
Many of the monster races were killed by countless flame spikes before they even had time to react!
"Please stop! Don't kill my monsters... something is coming for me! Deal with me directly!"
Yan Ruyu stepped in front of Qin Yao and called out softly toward the sky.
The figure in the sky smiled faintly.
"The weak have no right to choose their method of death. Do you really think your words are useful?"
The flames rose again—enough to wipe out all creatures within a radius of a thousand miles!
Its brutality made Haoyue, who had come along, tremble all over. He thought to himself: Just now your brother said that my Lord is merciful—it's all nonsense!
Ye Laohei descended before the two women and looked them over. The former possessed a beautiful face and a natural ethereal temperament—like a fairy in a painting, not like an ordinary creature. She was more beautiful than Ziyue.
But still not quite as beautiful as Platycodon and Dongfang Huaizhu—a point or two lower. However, the other party was the goddess of their own world. If trained well, she should be able to compete with them.
As for the woman behind her—she was a refined little beauty, and very courageous. She was now so frightened that she had fallen to the ground.
The ethereal woman looked at Ye Laohei and asked word by word: "Are you the high priest of that cult?"
"Yes. Ye Laohei..."
"Huh..." Yan Ruyu said with disdain after hearing the name. "No wonder the heart is so dark... I hear the doctrine you propagate—that God loves the world. Yet your hands are full of blood..."
"Did I say I killed any humans?" Ye Laohei interrupted her and said indifferently: "The holy land was destroyed by me because they didn't respect the oracle. The monster races were killed by me just now because they didn't give thanks for God's grace."
"Then... are you going to resist, or surrender?"
He could see clearly enough how things stood.
Ye Laohei was too lazy to drag things out. He simply asked, as was his custom—and by the way, to gauge how the other party's temperament was.
If it was fierce...
He didn't mind breaking each other's thorns one by one.
Yan Ruyu's heart churned for a long time before she closed her eyes and said: "If you want to kill, then kill. Don't think I will ever obey you."
"Don't worry—you are all my sacrifices to God. How could I possibly hurt you!"
Ye Laohei smiled wickedly, enveloping them both with divine power. They vanished in place.
At this point, he had four goddesses in hand. The sacrifices were sufficient—the next step was to vigorously develop the faith. Spread the beliefs.
For example, many people had been eyeing the demon tomb for some time. All he had to do was lift the coffin lid and see what manner of things lay inside!
After returning to the faith headquarters, Ye Laohei began arranging things—on one hand inquiring about intelligence, on the other hand constantly accepting believers who sought refuge under him.
Destroying a holy place—at this moment—was an extremely terrifying act. It also demonstrated his own capabilities. The faith was not monks who ate plain food and chanted sutras. When the faith's power expanded, those who did not want to join could not escape. They would be killed!
The Ten Cave Heavens—just because they wanted to bargain, they were obliterated by Ye Laohei on the same day! No negotiation was accepted. Surrender or die!
But what he did also attracted the hatred of countless people. However, the true emperor-level masters did not dare to speak. Everyone understood the horror of God—a single thought could suppress the existence of an entire plane. Whoever took the lead would die!
A few days later, the faith descended upon the demon tomb.
This time Ye Laohei took ten thousand monks and rode upon an ancient warship laden with countless treasures. The power on display was extremely terrifying! This warship was a treasure from one of the Cave Heavens—although it was broken, after repairs it could still be used temporarily.
Ziyue's elder brother, after cultivating his body skills for several days, had become a faithful believer of the religion. Now he followed along as well—the very picture of a devoted subordinate.
"Huh... why is there no one around here?"
Ye Laohei asked with displeasure. Hadn't it been said that when the Demon Tomb was opened, many people would gather? How come there wasn't even a ghost to be seen!
The believer beside him smiled bitterly upon hearing this: "Master Priest, it's not entirely your fault. I came here a few days ago and killed a group of demons. The people panicked. Our intelligence personnel reported that those people were all scared away..."
Ye Laohei smiled at this, rubbed the tip of his nose, and said: "Forget it... If there's no audience, there's no audience. Let me lift the coffin lid of this demon tomb first!"
"Rise!"
He put away his smile, his expression becoming solemn. The flames transformed into a giant shovel, driving directly toward the cemetery.
Boom.
Infinite demonic power rushed into the sky. The power of slaughter—immortal in nature—was like the constant beating of tides upon a shore.
The entire sky was dyed blood red.
Thousands of miles away, in a col, many people stared at the blood-stained clouds and grew cautious.
"It seems the Eternal God Faith has taken action!"
"I don't know what the result will be—whether this demon clan cemetery can stop the high priest!"
"Don't talk about stopping him. If they can delay him for even a period of time, it will buy time for the forbidden area!"
Everyone wanted to destroy the Eternal Faith. According to calculations by some ancient monsters, as long as the high priest of the Eternal Faith—together with the altar—was destroyed, then the road between the Divine Realm and this world would be severed. That is to say, God could no longer descend into the realm!
It sounded very ridiculous. The success rate was less than one percent.
But... for a great family, or a holy land or holy city, to become someone else's dog? Who could endure that kind of humiliation!
As a result, the remaining wills of some great emperors stirred into action. Combined with God's Soldiers and certain taboo methods—
A few days ago, the other party had captured Yan Ruyu, which gave some people hope. It had been calculated that Ye Laohei would come to the monster race cemetery. Therefore, a trap had been laid here—a trap to ensnare Ye Laohei!
In the barren ancient forbidden land, one hundred thousand cultivators arrived through the opened boundary gate.
Colorful chariots! Warships shrouded in haze!
They appeared in the sky above the temple one after another.
"It seems some people are not afraid of death!"
"Hehe... when Ye Laohei goes out, naturally some people can't help themselves!"
"We are ready to begin. This time, the blood sacrifice will be satisfied. Hehe..."
"Come on—get into position!"
Beneath the earth's veins, countless essences and spirits were poured into the divine pattern. They flowed rapidly. The charge was completed soon after!
Behind the Eternal Faith's lines, in an unremarkable temple, several preparatory goddesses had been transferred here.
Qin Yao looked at the scene unfolding above the main hall and couldn't help but say: "This is a good opportunity. Now the cult has aroused public outrage! We can escape in the chaos!"
"Escape? Heh... why do you think they kept us here and gave us a view of the outside?"
The purple-clothed girl held a fairy fruit and ate it in small bites. Upon hearing what this monster race woman said, she suddenly couldn't help but laugh. It was truly brainless—no matter what the gods taught, they would never give them a chance to escape.
Qin Yao looked at her, sitting on the futon with her legs tucked beneath her, raising a hand to take a sip of fragrant tea. Then she said faintly: "Yao'er, just watch. None of these people will get out of here."
"Why?"
"Because this is the place of inheritance of the female emperor, and now it has become the missionary ground of the gods. Do you think there is truly no trump card here?"
A mere hundred thousand monks, plus some hole cards—wanting to defeat the gods? The people who had planned this conspiracy surely didn't have sound minds!
As predicted, the moment those people saw that they had been discovered, the attacks poured down like a torrential rain—fast as lightning, directly covering all the temple sites!
And there were three attacks, coming from hundreds of millions of miles apart! Among them, the most terrifying was a white-haired figure wielding an imperial weapon.
"Let the inheritance of the Eternal God perish! This world does not need the existence of God!"
In the void, countless monks were shouting! A terrible blood curse filled this ancient star.
