Baituokuis returned to the Epagous Temple. The divine envoy standing beside the throne noticed something amiss. Baituokuis was markedly different from when he had left, his arm trembling slightly.
The divine envoy, though inwardly shaken, remained expressionless by the throne.
Baituokuis’s figure flickered as he reseated himself, placing his hands on the throne and frowning. He clenched his fist tightly. The temple gathered divine power from all directions, and under its nourishment, his trembling hand ceased.
Baituokuis clenched his fist and exclaimed with indignation, "We are all middle-tier gods, yet there is such a significant disparity. Aigefen is already so powerful, let alone that immortal old man Kexuotu. Sersuojiang and Shaxipeishu are like two mountains blocking my path.
Must I truly wait until they have all left this graveyard before it is my turn?"
Baituokuis looked at the divine envoy beside him and said coldly, "Those two from the Zhang family are dead. You are the only one left by my side, Lenepang. You have also survived from the last epoch relying on my divine power. Have these past few thousand years taught you nothing more than to stand by my side like a block of wood?"
Lenepang quickly bowed. After Baituokuis finished speaking, he did not rush to defend himself. Instead, he extended his right hand, and an octagonal star formation lit up in his palm. Orange-yellow stars emerged from the formation, continuously rising and accumulating to form a round mirror.
Baituokuis looked at the round mirror in Lenepang’s palm with confusion. Just as he was about to ask,
Lenepang spoke first, "My lord, people are divided into good and evil, and gods have three natures. Deities do not actively distinguish between good and evil, because deities are guided by extremely pure divinity as their dominant nature, suppressing complex humanity and frenzied beast nature.
Compared to the frenzied uncontrollability of beast nature,
Complex human nature is the greatest factor for deities to be dominated by divinity.
Among the three natures, human nature is the most difficult to control."
Baituokuis frowned, displeased. "Lenepang, what is the use of you telling me this nonsense now?
Among all the gods, besides Aleswa, who released his human and beast natures to become his divine envoys, which other god dares to release their human and beast natures?"
Complexity and frenzy are the most fundamental things that even gods cannot eliminate. Therefore, they can only be forcibly suppressed by the purest divinity.
Gods are unfeeling and lonely. They are always aloof, forever sitting in their divine seats in loneliness, looking down upon all beings, cold and unfeeling.
The reason is that they are dominated by the purest divinity. Their emotional and complex human natures are tightly suppressed in the deepest recesses of their hearts, forever sealed in the darkest places of their souls.
Lenepang smiled slightly. "My god, please calm your anger. Please look."
Lenepang extended his other hand, and an octagonal star formation rose in his palm, the stars and starlight transforming into another round mirror.
"Because human and beast natures are suppressed, deities have no concept of good or evil. Deities act entirely according to their own preferences and thoughts.
If we summon their human and beast natures, no longer suppressed by divinity, and they are completely liberated like Aleswa, I believe they will have no time to care for themselves?"
Lenepang said this with a sinister and ruthless smile.
"Aleswa is a god with ideas. His abilities grant him boundless imagination, but for tens of thousands of years, he has been confined as a lower-tier god, unable to fully utilize his powers.
However, it doesn't matter; I will complete it for him.
Ever since I witnessed Aleswa's abilities in the last epoch, I have harbored this idea. These two round mirrors are what I have been working on for thousands of years.
My lord, Baituokuis, please use your divine power to wield these two mirrors that can illuminate the divinity, humanity, and bestiality of gods.
Divide the gods who are your enemies, let them battle their own humanity and bestiality, let them be too preoccupied to care for themselves until they perish. You will be the ultimate victor."
Lenepang bowed and knelt, holding up the two round mirrors with both hands, devoutly calling out to Baituokuis.
Baituokuis looked at the two round mirrors before him, his expression fluctuating. At the same time, a flicker of fear flashed in his eyes. He understood deeply what would happen if the divine natures, humanity, and bestiality of gods were unleashed.
Complex and uncontrollable human nature,
Frenzied beast nature that knows only slaughter,
The three natures of gods all possess divine power. Although not as strong as the dominant divinity, they are still sufficiently powerful. For example, Sersuojiang and Shaxipeishu, or Kexuotu.
Their human and beast natures are no weaker than a lower-tier god.
Baituokuis’s gaze shifted from the round mirrors to Lenepang kneeling there. His eyes gradually turned cold. This fellow could actually create something that liberates the three natures of gods.
He… is very dangerous.
…
Baituokuis’s Epagous Temple was filled with a chilling killing intent.
Similarly,
In Wulin City, the sky was also filled with a shocking killing intent. Unlike ordinary people who could not sense it, those who were spirit warriors and extraordinary individuals all looked up at the clear blue sky.
The sudden, piercing killing intent sent shivers down their spines. Those with low strength, like Xu Shuya, who had just awakened her spiritual power, collapsed to the ground, her eyes wide with terror as she looked at the sky outside the window, as if a savage beast from the void was watching her.
Zhao Tongzhi calmly put down her phone and stood up, walking to the floor-to-ceiling window. She happened to stand in front of Xu Shuya, shielding her from the killing intent.
Zhao Tongzhi looked back at the trembling Xu Shuya and pursed her lips into a smile.
Then,
Her figure disappeared into the distance.
The next moment,
Arriving in the sky, Zhao Tongzhi closed her eyes and began to release her spiritual power, searching the entire Wulin City to find the source of the overwhelming killing intent.
In the alley guesthouse,
Xiao Lan squatted in the third-floor corridor, looking up at the sky.
A hand gently rested on Xiao Lan’s head.
Xiao Lan turned to look.
He Li walked out, carrying a long saber, and leaned against the third-floor railing. Without looking up at the sky, he looked at Xiao Lan, as if speaking to Xiao Lan, or perhaps to himself. He chuckled lightly.
"Some fellows can't wait any longer. They want to watch a good show. Which god will it be?"
Xiao Lan squatted on the ground, licked his paw, and raised his head. His silver-white eyes held a cold arrogance as he stared fixedly at the sky.
He Li narrowed his eyes, drew out the long saber with his left hand gripping the hilt, then paused lightly, sheathing the blade again. He leaned back, tilting out from the third-floor railing.
Xiao Lan leaped lightly, like a blue lightning bolt, onto the rooftop. The sky was a clear blue, cloudless. Yet, it was precisely because of this that the killing intent was more intense. Two minutes ago, the sky had been filled with heavy cumulonimbus clouds, but they had been dispersed by the killing intent.
A figure shot up from the ground, and Xiao Lan followed closely behind.
At the same time,
In Wulin City, from eight directions, eight figures simultaneously shot up, all heading towards the southwest.
