Chapter 325 Desire to Kill the God King
"Junior Li Lan greets the two seniors!"
In the forest, Li Lan bowed to the two old men.
"As expected, the surname is Li!"
The white-haired, youthful-looking old man nodded in surprise and admiration, saying, "The Demon God Kuafu truly saw a glimpse of the future!"
The old man in coarse clothes laughed heartily and said, "Who is the Demon God Kuafu? How could there be any difference?"
He looked at Li Lan and said, "I am the spirit of Kuafu's staff. Back then, the demon god Kuafu chased the sun and fought a bloody battle with the enemy of the divine realm. When he was exhausted, he threw out his staff, which transformed into a domain independent of time and space - Deng Lin."
"I have been here for many years and have taken this name from it. This one is the spirit of the ancient god Chi You’s ‘Ten Thousand Weapons Furnace’. It is named Mo Shi. When the god Chi You fought the Big Dipper, he used the Ten Thousand Weapons Furnace to help Kua Fu escort the Emperor Star. So, it has been keeping me company here."
Deng Lin, Demonic Corrosion!
Li Lan took a deep breath. Who didn't know the name Chi You?
In Chinese legends, He fought a bloody battle with the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor, and commanded eighteen demon gods, each one of them awe-inspiring. Moreover, Chi You was the master of weapons, and his ferocity was overwhelming!
He is also one of the seven great demon gods who transformed themselves into the underworld.
According to Deng Lin, He should be in the Big Dipper?
"Senior Deng Lin, may I ask where the underworld of the demon god Kuafu is located?"
Li Lan spoke directly.
"The entrance is right here—"
Deng Lin smiled slightly and waved his hand. The peach blossoms in the forest instantly bloomed, turning into a riot of colors. Then they turned into a blood-red hue, and a blood-red path appeared in front of Li Lan. Li Lan immediately stepped in without hesitation.
The path wound its way, and soon a section of the Great Wall embankment came into view. Li Lan climbed it and walked deeper into the wall, whereupon a rough, booming voice rang out:
"You've finally arrived..."
A figure appeared in front of Li Lan.
It was a towering giant, hundreds of meters tall, with arms as thick as giant trees. His clothes were extremely primitive, made from the skin of strange beasts such as dragons. He sat cross-legged on the dam, and in front of him, a furnace was burning fiercely!
The furnace was cast in bronze, with a primitive and simple shape, without any patterns, but it gave people a great sense of oppression, as if the whole world was being forged in the furnace fire.
Occasionally, a flame would leap out, instantly sending chills down Li Lan's spine. He feared that a single flame could burn a god to death.
"It's so similar, it really is..."
Upon seeing Li Lan, Kuafu spoke first, scrutinizing Li Lan with his eyes, and sighed, "Years ago, I once met someone."
That person looks a lot like you.
Li Lan asked, "Is there a cat or a dog with that person?"
Kuafu nodded. "When I met him, his cat and dog were dead, and he was trying to revive them."
"At that time, he had deduced the eternity of time, and I glimpsed a corner of the future from it. So, I left the battlefield of the divine realm, turned around and protected the Imperial Star as it fled. With the help of the ancestral gods of the Imperial Star, I set up the Milky Way Array."
He spoke calmly, but Li Lan felt conflicted. It was that person again!
Who exactly is that person?
Li Lan originally thought that after he came out of the underworld, he had already broken free from that person's arrangement, but now it seems that the entire mortal world, the Imperial Star... is shrouded in some kind of arrangement.
Long ago, during the ancient war, that person foresaw everything that is happening today...
"Thanks to the Great God Chi You's Furnace of Ten Thousand Weapons, I captured the sun of the Golden Crow Clan and melted it into it, which has illuminated me for so many years, preventing me from losing my sense of good and evil and from becoming two-faced."
Kuafu smiled and said, "Otherwise, if you had come today, you would have been facing my monstrous corpse."
Li Lan was even more shocked upon hearing this.
What's inside this furnace is actually the sun of the Golden Crow clan?
Did they put a sun inside?
"Those golden crows of the divine realm have gone mad after losing the ancestral artifact of the divine realm. Originally, Hou Yi and I planned to set a trap to kill their ancestor, but unexpectedly, Hou Yi shot down eight golden crows, and the strongest old golden crow didn't even move..."
He shook his head, somewhat regretfully.
Li Lan only realized today that those myths in Chinese history were not unfounded, and that "Hou Yi shooting down the suns" was indeed true.
It's just that because the spiritual energy has been cut off, in this Dharma-ending Age, everything about immortals and ancestral gods has been submerged in history.
"After waiting for so many years, you have finally arrived. It is time to give you the Scripture."
Kuafu was very direct. He smiled slightly, and a golden light flowed from his brow, directly entering Li Lan's brow.
Li Lan carefully comprehended the text and was immediately invigorated. The scripture in Kuafu's hand connected perfectly with what he currently possessed!
He obtained the first section from the Fighting Demon God, and then obtained two more sections from the Xing Tian Demon God and the Nüba Demon God respectively. The order of the sections from the Fighting Demon God and the Nüba Demon God was connected, so Li Lan cultivated to the third realm of Seven Apertures Shining.
However, Xing Tian, the Demon God, could no longer cultivate because a section of it was missing.
Now, the Kuafu Demon God has connected the upper and lower scriptures together.
The mortal scriptures of the Kuafu Demon God are enough to allow him to perfect the "Seven Apertures Glowing" realm and reach the second level of "Six Internal Organs Nourishing Spirit," while the scriptures of the Xingtian Demon God can allow him to complete the "Five Organs Connecting with the Divine" realm.
The remaining two sections are about the two great gods, Chi You and Zhuanxu. Zhuanxu's scriptures are on Li Daozhi's body!
"The next passage is in the Big Dipper."
The demon god Kuafu pointed out, "In the past, He originally wanted to return to the Imperial Star with me, but several peerless enemies came from the Divine Realm, and He could only fight them to the death and perish with them in the Big Dipper."
“When you go to the Big Dipper, take this Myriad Weapons Furnace with you. I suspect that the battle in His underworld is still raging. After all, His opponents are all truly peerless experts who could shake the Ancestral God in the past!”
Kuafu looked solemn.
Li Lan took a deep breath, nodded, and then said, "Senior, it seems that there are still a few beings from the Divine Realm on the Emperor Star."
"This junior wishes to borrow the Great Yu Cauldron to fight against it!"
Li Lan revealed her plan.
His current realm and cultivation level are still far from those of "them" from the divine realm, but "them" have been trapped on Earth for many years, and their cultivation must have weakened as well!
"The Three God-Kings,"
Kuafu sighed softly and said, "When the Milky Way Formation was completed, they suddenly descended. I had already become a ghost and could no longer stop them. I could only do my best to strike, but I think they still managed to get in."
Li Lan felt a chill run down her spine!
Three God-Kings!
He had already subdued the evil spirit Zhu Wusi from the Yellow Springs and had even personally visited the Divine Realm, so he was well aware of the significance of those two words!
Zhu Wusi was just one step away from entering the "Supreme" realm, but in the Divine Realm, he was only a "Main God". Although the Main God was extremely illustrious, he was still below the "God King"!
In the entire divine realm, there are only a handful of god-kings who truly rule over all directions.
Even with Li Daozhi's extraordinary talent and the assistance of Nüba, he only dared to seek a marriage alliance with the Zhu family, a powerful and declining main god family, which demonstrates the strength and high status of the God King.
"However, even though they are certainly not as powerful as they were back then, it is still not enough for you to use the Great Yu Cauldron to completely destroy them."
Kuafu shook his head: "If the Great Yu Cauldron were at its peak, it would not be difficult to suppress and kill three incomplete god-kings. But now, on the Emperor Star, humanity is fading and its power is almost nonexistent. The incense and faith you brought from the mortal realm are enough to maintain the spirit of the artifact, but far from sufficient to use the Great Yu Cauldron."
Li Lan asked solemnly, "What does Senior think?"
Kuafu pondered for a long time and said, "The Great Yu Cauldron, myself, the Myriad Weapons Furnace, plus you... against the combined forces of three incomplete God-Kings, it's still uncertain. The chances of winning are less than 40%."
The main reason is that although the other side is incomplete, the Imperial Star side is also extremely weak.
The Great Yu Cauldron could not even unleash one percent of its power. The Myriad Weapons Furnace was meant to suppress the Golden Crow Clan Sun within it. Kuafu had fought a bloody battle back then, and he already had little strength left. After transforming into the underworld, it was already a great fortune that good and evil were not separated. He himself was like a candle flickering in the wind.
Li Lan is far from mature.
Less than 40%...
Li Lan pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "By the way, why have these three God-Kings come to the Imperial Star?"
"Now that the Imperial Star is in the Dharma-ending Age, they can still endure the torment and lie dormant for so many years. They must have something big planned."
Kuafu said, "Although the Emperor Star is temporarily damaged, once the spiritual energy recovers, this place will still be the best soil for proving the Dao of the God Emperor."
Proving the Dao to become a God Emperor!
"Too many ancestral gods and great emperors have emerged from the Imperial Star. Its fortune has only temporarily disappeared. Once it recovers, its power will be enough to make a god-king take the final step."
"Moreover, you are also one of their hunting targets. If you can obtain the reincarnation authority and become a God Emperor, you will truly be able to look down on the entire God Realm and be considered the strongest in all of history."
Kuafu looked solemn.
Li Lan remained silent for a long time, deep in thought, before slowly saying, "If that's the case, perhaps there is a way."
Kuafu asked, "What plan do you have?"
Li Lan said, "The fortune of the three God-Kings can only be supplied to one person at a time. Therefore, these three people will inevitably appear to be united in appearance but be at odds in spirit. This is the first point."
"The ancient road has reopened, and the Divine Realm is aware of it. It will surely be watching this place closely. The people of the Divine Realm will not want anyone to use the land of the Emperor Star. Therefore, these three incomplete God-Kings also face external threats. This is the second reason."
“I possess the power of reincarnation. If I escape from the Imperial Star, these three will inevitably separate. I think someone will come after me, and these three will be the ones to pursue me…”
Li Lan said, "This is the enemy's disadvantage. To increase our chances of winning, we must make good use of it!"
Upon hearing this, Kuafu's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "Very good, very good! If that's the case, think it over carefully, and perhaps there really is a chance to turn the tide!"
……
And this moment.
Fudaozhe Group.
"I'll say it again: whoever wins a seat for the group will be the group's successor. Everyone in the group knows this, and it cannot be changed!"
In the conference room, Deng Huaigu looked extremely serious.
However, only Gu Junwei nodded, while Gu Ruoxu, Jiang Zhigong, and Yang Lianlu remained silent.
"What, Brother Gu, do you have other ideas?"
Deng Huaigu looked at Gu Ruoxu.
Gu Ruoxu then said, "It's not that... The people from the Global Alliance are coming today, and we are not people who go back on our word. How about this, once the Global Alliance announces the seat decision, we will decide on the group's successor, shall we?"
Deng Huaigu was surprised. He had prepared himself to fight hard today, but he did not expect Gu Ruoxu to have such an attitude.
"Elders, the special envoy of the Global Alliance has arrived."
At that moment, there was a knock on the conference room door.
Deng Huaigu and the others immediately stood up and went to the main gate of the group to greet them.
This was a big event, so all the important figures in the group came. In addition to the five elders, Deng Kexin, Cheng Yusu, Bai Ruijie and others were all present. Xia Qingzhu also came to the scene after being instructed by Elder Deng.
In addition to the group headquarters, Fudao Group also invited senior executives from major groups such as the Li family, Chixue Group, Sanhe Group, and Zhong family to witness today's ceremony.
A convoy sped up, and two people stepped out of a top-of-the-line luxury car. One of them was Morton, whom they had met at the Mount Tai competition, and there was another young man besides him.
The young man was dressed in white, had a fashionable hairstyle, and was a Westerner with striking features, looking like a Western fashion star.
Morton was quite respectful beside him, and after the two took a few steps, the people from the Restoration Group came to greet them.
"Mr. Morton, Mr. Henry, welcome!"
Gu Ruoxu spoke enthusiastically.
The fashionable young man asked directly, "Who is Xia Qingzhu?"
Xia Qingzhu immediately came out, her expression slightly nervous.
"She is the heir to the Fudao Group, isn't she?"
Henry asked.
Gu Ruoxu and the others remained silent, but Deng Huaigu had already said, "That's right."
Henry said, "Alright, from now on, you will be the head of the Global Alliance China Region. As part of your duties before taking office, you will need to swear allegiance to the statues of the three gods."
Henry waved his hand, and a ring on his hand flashed with light, revealing three statues of gods before everyone.
The three statues are only the size of a palm, and they are all very mottled, as if they have weathered the storms of time, and are not brand new works of art.
Xia Qingzhu was taken aback. Swear allegiance?
She subconsciously turned around and looked at Elder Deng.
Elder Deng frowned, stepped forward, and patiently said, "Young Master Henry, this wasn't an option before."
“It started this year.”
Henry shrugged and said, “All regions of the world worship the three true gods. Your China has been so slow to follow suit for so many years, which is a great dereliction of duty. Now that your Fudao Group has the first place, it is natural that you should promote the worship of the three gods and make the temples of the three gods spread all over the land of China.”
"This is also the greatest responsibility that the person in charge of Huaxia should fulfill."
He spoke calmly, but Elder Deng's eyes flickered with anger. He said in a deep voice, "Young Master Henry, we Chinese have our own choices regarding what we believe in, and the Global Alliance dares not interfere!"
Henry gave him a cold look and said, "Are you refusing?"
As soon as he finished speaking, two arcs of electricity flashed in his eyes, and Elder Deng immediately screamed in agony as blood flowed from his eyes!
"Grandpa!"
Seeing this, Xia Qingzhu rushed forward to support Deng Huaigu, angrily saying, "What are you doing?!"
"Kneel down and swear allegiance to the statues of the three gods."
Henry, however, spoke coldly.
"I will not kneel! I will never kneel! You are a bad person, and your god must be a bad god too—"
Xia Qingzhu spoke angrily.
"Disrespect for the gods is a grave sin!"
Suddenly, Yang Lianlu shouted and attacked Xia Qingzhu. His cultivation was very high, almost at the Core Formation stage. He attacked suddenly, catching Xia Qingzhu off guard, and she was immediately knocked down!
"Xia Qingzhu disrespects the gods and is not qualified to inherit the Fudao Group!"
Yang Lianlu didn't even glance at Xia Qingzhu, and said, "Furthermore, the Fudao Group has selected a successor who is willing to worship the gods!"
Beside her, Cheng Yusu took a deep breath, stepped forward, looked at her sister on the ground, a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes, and then knelt down before Henry.
"Cheng Yusu is willing to serve the gods, and will never regret it in this life!"
Immediately, Yang Lianlu, Gu Ruoxu, and Jiang Zhigong also knelt down. Gu Junwei was stunned for a moment, seemingly hesitant, but then he knelt down as well!
Everyone in the Fudao Group was utterly shocked by what they saw.
"Honoring the gods is the duty of all Chinese people. From now on, the land of China will be blessed by the gods!"
At this moment, the representative of the Li Group, who had come to observe, also shouted!
"Honor the gods!"
"We are willing to serve the gods!"
Sanhe Group, Zhong's Group, and others followed suit immediately!
These forces had already received the news and had been actively contacting the global alliance in recent years, so they felt no psychological pressure.
The other forces watching from the sidelines were all somewhat stunned.
"Don't you think what you're doing is going too far?!"
At this moment, a member of the Crimson Blood Group suddenly spoke up, angrily saying, "The land of China has had its own beliefs and totems since ancient times. When did it become necessary for outsiders to decide what we believe in?!"
He was filled with righteous indignation, but before he could finish speaking, a beam of light flashed from Henry's hand, and the man who had spoken vomited blood from his throat and died on the spot!
"Your totems and beliefs have long since perished."
Henry shrugged: "Since you miss those extinct totems, then I'll send you to see them."
Seeing this, everyone fell silent, terrified beyond measure!
