Chapter 1654 549: Two God Kings, Twelve Main Gods (Part 2)
“Demon, there’s a demon. We hunted quite a bit today, but unexpectedly, a great beast leapt out and bit Da Zhuang to death on the spot.”
“The few of us joined forces to slaughter that beast, yet another tiger demon sprang out, claiming we had killed their child.”
“Then, without any explanation, it devoured us completely but deliberately let me return, saying it would give our village people a day to escape,” Zhang Chong said.
“Ah? A demon? How is that possible? This place is devoid of spiritual mechanisms, how can there be a demon?”
“Not necessarily, certain beasts, if they awaken their own bloodline and absorb the essence of the sun and moon, can cultivate into demons,” the village chief slowly said.
“It’s over, it’s over, there’s a demon, should we quickly run then? While the demon hasn’t come yet,” said a villager.
“It’s too late, it’s too late now, a day has already passed, I fear going out means death,” Zhang Chong shook his head and said.
“Hmph, go out? We have the protection of Lord Thunder God, can such a small demon dare to cause trouble?”
“Ah Chong, I think the tiger demon let you come back just to make us flee, so that the demon can devour us unrestrictedly outside.”
“We shouldn’t go anywhere, staying in the village is the safest,” the village chief said solemnly.
“Yes, yes, yes, we have Lord Thunder God’s protection, the demon wouldn’t dare to be reckless.”
“Phew~~! So that’s how it is, thank goodness, thank goodness, I thought we were doomed.”
All the villagers heaved a sigh of relief.
“Chief, but our village’s supplies are already scarce, we have no more than a day’s worth of oil and salt, and only enough incense candles and paper money for three to five days.”
“Tomorrow is the beginning of the month, we must go to the market town at the foot of the mountain to sell furs and game and to buy incense candles, paper money, oil, and salt.”
“With that demon watching, how can we go down the mountain?” someone said.
As soon as this was said, all the villagers showed expressions of fright.
Going without oil and salt for a few days is not a problem, but not worshiping the statues for a day is absolutely unacceptable, while incense and paper money can be offered every three days.
If they miss tomorrow’s market, the prices to buy these things later would at least double or triple.
“We can only ask the Divine Official to take action,” the village chief gritted his teeth and said.
“Divine Official? But… but asking the Divine Official to act requires the sacrifice of one’s soul…. and the silver coin they demand…” a villager exclaimed.
“There’s no other way, this is the most reliable solution. Later, all the elders over forty, including myself, will draw life-and-death lots,” the village chief said.
“Yes, chief,” all the villagers sighed, none refused.
Because this was the most favorable outcome for them.
Just then, a shadow appeared above the village.
Mu Rufeng’s divine thought spread out, enveloping the village, then directly probed their memories.
Immediately, Mu Rufeng gained deeper insights into the Divine World.
Although Mu Rufeng had previously acquired the memory of that ‘god’, much of the hidden information was sealed, and what they saw was only some less important information.
There was little understanding, especially since these ordinary people were completely unaware of the base-level information.
After all, he is a ‘god’, and how would a god care about these mortals.
Most regions of the Divine World are devoid of spiritual mechanisms, lacking any trace of Immortal Spirit Power, spiritual energy, or any special energy.
This place is suitable for mortals to live, even the Divine Officials are reluctant to come to places devoid of spiritual mechanisms.
And these regions lacking spiritual mechanisms are actually the handiwork of these gods.
It’s to prevent the emergence of cultivators.
Cultivators are those who cultivate powers other than Divine Power; Divine Officials cultivate Divine Power, which is the orthodoxy of this world, the mainstream.
The entire Divine World is divided into two major regions: the Bright Continent and the Dark Continent.
Among them, the Light God is one of the two God Kings of the Divine World, existing as a Profound Venerate, controlling the Bright Continent.
The Dark God is also one of the two God Kings of the Divine World, the second Profound Venerate, controlling the Dark Continent.
Under the two God Kings are the Wind God, Fire God, Thunder God, Sea God, Love God, God of Wealth, God of Life, God of Wisdom, God of Time, Space God, God of Destruction, Earth God, the Twelve Main Gods.
And there are many other gods, all under these Twelve Main Gods.
Layer upon layer, at the bottom are the Little Gods who control places devoid of spiritual mechanisms.
The Little God caught by Wang Luo was one of those.
Divine Officials are those cultivators who have practiced Divine Power; the Mortal World is governed by these Divine Officials, all obeying the commands of the gods.
However, it is said that among the Divine World, the Twelve Main Gods are worshiped by people, but there are no temples or statues for the Light and Dark Gods.
These mortals do not know why, but that Little God knows very well the reason.
Mu Rufeng naturally learned this reason through that Little God.
That is, as long as light covers the land, it can forcibly extract the faith and Power of Incense from those subjects.
When darkness covers the land, it’s the same way.
Besides, the Twelve Main Gods must give eight-tenths of the Power of Incense they collect each year to the Light and Dark Gods.
In other words, the entire Divine World is supporting these two God Kings.
“The Thunder God is a Main God under the Bright Seat, this place belongs to the Bright Continent, but where to find the local cultivators?” Mu Rufeng slightly frowned.
This Divine World is indeed a bit hard to traverse.
Because if you don’t have an orthodox Divine Power, while you won’t necessarily be seen as a heretic and be killed, you’ll still face various disdain and bullying.
After all, there are countless Little Gods in this world, and they will also fight among each other for territory, but as long as the god statue remains unchanged, the gods above will hardly intervene.
These Little Gods, unable to stay here, can only wander and eventually become small Wild Gods like the Grass God, Lake God, House God, and Pot God.
“Or… should I also get a Divinity and walk the world as a Wild God?” Mu Rufeng suddenly thought of this.
Divinity is actually easy to obtain, as long as more than a hundred people worship your statue, you can have a Divinity.
Only trying to condense a Divinity is not a simple task.
As for these Little Gods, the Great Gods above don’t care much; after all, nobody dares to touch the Main God Position of a Great God.
The incense you get has to be handed over in part; there’s no room for negotiation. As long as the Wild God’s statue is placed in the same house, the Power of Incense can be directly intercepted.
“Roar~~!”
Just then, a massive tiger demon leapt out from the dense forest and landed at the entrance to Cliff Village.
“Humans, send me one person to devour every three days, and I will ensure your village remains unharmed,” the tiger demon spoke human words, which was shocking.
“What… what a large tiger demon. Chief, the Divine Official is a hundred miles away from us, what should we do with the tiger demon now at our door?” a villager said in full fear.
Here, it is very remote. The city with a Divine Official is a hundred miles away; if they wish to ask the Divine Official for help, someone must be sent to invite them.
Such a round trip, it wouldn’t be possible in less than three to five days.
“Let me think, let me think,” the village chief hurriedly called out, his mind rapidly turning.
Originally, he intended to immediately dispatch a team down the mountain to invite the Divine Official, but he didn’t expect the tiger demon to come so quickly.
At that moment, Mu Rufeng descended from the sky, landing among the people.
This scene frightened everyone into retreating.
However, they quickly realized and knelt down in unison: “The humble subjects pay respects to the Upper God.”
Mu Rufeng said: “I can help you eradicate this tiger demon.”
“Thank you, Upper God, thank you, Upper God,” the village chief said with joy.
The other villagers were also full of joy.
With an Upper God intervening, the tiger demon was no longer a worry.
“But I have one requirement: every household in your village must worship my divine statue,” Mu Rufeng said.
