"If Lord Lu Shen were alive, there would naturally be no better solution!"
The Azure-robed Heavenly God stated frankly, "After all, who would willingly relinquish control of the Divine Realm!"
The Old Heavenly God frowned, unsure of what to do.
If he were in charge of the Divine Race, he would certainly let everyone in the Divine Race enjoy all the resources of the Divine Realm.
But no matter what, the current situation was difficult to accept.
"Old Heavenly God, have you thought it through?"
The Azure-robed Heavenly God spoke again, his expression even more solemn.
He was very concerned about this matter.
The other Heavenly Gods also looked on, paying close attention.
The Divine Race was currently in a prosperous state, and Lu Fan wanted the Divine Race to coexist peacefully with other races, which they naturally could not accept.
After all, in their eyes, other races were too lowly and must be governed by the Divine Race.
However, with Lu Fan around, their way of thinking could naturally not be realized.
Upon returning to his residence, the Old Heavenly God appeared dazed, deeply considering the day's events.
After a long while, the Azure-robed Heavenly God appeared in the Old Heavenly God's room, smiling faintly, "Old Heavenly God, what have you decided?"
"Lord Lu Shen has shown immense kindness to our Divine Race. If we truly do this, how will we face our people when they learn of it?"
The Old Heavenly God stated directly, "Without the support of the Divine Race, our efforts would be in vain!"
"Old Heavenly God, there's no need to worry!"
The Azure-robed Heavenly God chuckled, "Once the Divine Lord drinks the poisoned wine, he will surely become unwell. After we deal with him, we will inform the Divine Race that Lord Lu Shen, after a fierce battle with Ancestral Dragon, suffered great exhaustion and ultimately perished!"
"This..."
The Old Heavenly God's expression shifted. He had not expected the Azure-robed Heavenly God to have even prepared a plausible excuse, which somewhat shocked him.
"Once Lord Lu Shen is dealt with, the entire Divine Race, and even the entire Divine Realm, will be under your control, Old Heavenly God. Do you wish to miss such an opportunity!"
The Old Heavenly God was slightly stunned, and his expression instantly turned sharp, "Good, I agree. We will eliminate Lord Lu Shen, and from then on, I will be the sole authority within the entire Divine Race!"
"That's the spirit!"
The Azure-robed Heavenly God's face lit up with joy. With the Old Heavenly God's agreement, he felt much more at ease.
"However, I am curious, why are you helping me?"
The Old Heavenly God asked directly, "Are you seeking something in return!"
"Since this is a transaction between you and me, Old Heavenly God, I wish to become your second-in-command in the entire Divine Realm, assisting you in governing the Divine Race. I assume that is acceptable!"
"Naturally, it is acceptable!"
The Old Heavenly God nodded slightly, a pleased expression on his face. This might not be a bad thing for him.
Once the plan succeeded, he would be the master of the entire Divine Realm. This was a great temptation for him. Sudan Novel Network
"Tomorrow is the celebration banquet. After the banquet, we will have Lord Lu Shen drink this poisoned wine, and then everything will be accomplished!"
The Azure-robed Heavenly God produced the poisoned wine, a playful smile gracing his lips.
The Old Heavenly God's expression was solemn. With matters having reached this point, he naturally knew what he had to do.
At the same time, within the Heavenly Pavilion, Lu Fan gazed at the divine essence in his hand, his eyes filled with joy.
Having been in the Divine Realm for many years, he had been searching for the most suitable vessel to revive Lin Ke'er. Now, with the Ancestral Dragon's divine essence as the vessel, Lin Ke'er would surely return.
When he first arrived in the cultivation world, his sole purpose was to find the most suitable vessel, but unfortunately, Lu Fan had never found a satisfactory one.
Now, with the Ancestral Dragon's divine essence, this matter was bound to succeed!
After mixing Lin Ke'er's divine soul with the Ancestral Dragon's divine essence, Lu Fan waited nearby, his expression extremely serious.
The next day, Lu Fan observed Lin Ke'er's divine soul within the Heavenly Pavilion and found that it was gradually growing stronger with the nourishment from the divine soul.
It was expected that Lin Ke'er would awaken before long, thus fulfilling his long-held anticipation.
"Divine Lord, there is a celebration banquet tonight. Do you know when you plan to attend!"
The Old Heavenly God approached, his demeanor appearing somewhat obsequious.
"Celebration banquet?"
Lu Fan asked, puzzled, "Why do I not know that the Divine Race is holding a celebration banquet?"
"Divine Lord, your suppression of the Divine Dragon clan is a cause for great celebration for us in the Divine Race, so this banquet is unavoidable!" the Old Heavenly God stated frankly, "Does Divine Lord not wish to attend!"
"That is not the case. Since it is the Divine Race's celebration banquet, I will naturally attend!"
Lu Fan replied, his expression appearing indifferent.
Shortly after, Lu Fan arrived at the celebration banquet. Most of the attendees were various Heavenly Gods from the Divine Realm.
"We pay our respects to the Divine Lord!"
Everyone bowed, not daring to show any disrespect.
"There's no need for such formalities!"
With a cold expression, Lu Fan waved his hand and then directly took his seat.
"If not for Divine Lord's intervention, we would likely have perished long ago!"
The Old Heavenly God said, "We toast Divine Lord!"
The other Heavenly Gods also nodded in agreement and quickly raised their cups.
If not for Lu Fan, the entire Divine Realm would not have been so peaceful, and their Divine Race would not have become the most powerful existence among all races.
"This is all I should do, as I am also a member of the Divine Race!"
Lu Fan waved his hand, "Everyone needn't be so concerned!"
"Be that as it may, if not for Divine Lord, how could we have enjoyed such peace!" the Old Heavenly God stated.
Lu Fan said no more, picked up the wine cup beside him, and was about to drink.
The Old Heavenly God quickly stepped forward, "These ordinary wine cups are used by us Heavenly Gods. The cup that Divine Lord will use is that glazed goblet!"
Lu Fan looked at the glazed goblet on the main seat and couldn't help but smile. He hadn't expected them to be so particular.
"Lord Lu Shen, this glazed goblet is no ordinary item. It was personally crafted by the Old Heavenly God's men, specifically to present to Lord Lu Shen for his enjoyment of fine wine!" the Azure-robed Heavenly God stated, "Lord Lu Shen would not refuse, would he!"
"Since it was specially crafted, I naturally will not refuse!"
Lu Fan smiled slightly, his eyes carrying a hint of indifference, as if all of this held little significance in his eyes.
Seeing Lu Fan take out the glazed goblet, the Old Heavenly God's eyes flickered with emotion. As long as Lu Fan drank the poisoned wine, their plan would be a success, and from then on, he would be the supreme authority within the entire Divine Race.
Lu Fan paid no mind, drinking directly from the goblet. The poisoned wine within the glazed goblet was quickly consumed.
The wine was colorless and tasteless, completely undetectable. At this moment, Lu Fan felt no unusual symptoms.
However, the Old Heavenly God and the others seemed quite interested in the glazed goblet in his hand, which made Lu Fan somewhat perplexed.
The Azure-robed Heavenly God, seeing this scene, also showed a pleased expression. This was the best possible outcome.
Lu Fan had drunk the poisoned wine, and they could now proceed with their next plan.
This was naturally a great positive for them.
