Chapter 484: Chapter 473: I Am Not an Evil God
The remaining eight individuals each began to divide and cooperate. The Demonic Cult Triad naturally wouldn’t leave Liu Ji alone, so Liu Ji became the cutter, his sword being relatively sharp.
Dongfang Hongyue was tasked with starting fires. Her fire’s essence wasn’t as strong as Lin Yun’s, but her realm was higher than his, making the fires she released more powerful.
Zhang Biyu thought she should do something, so while casting Fire Type Spells, she helped Liu Ji by generating some Sword Qi.
All things considered, she seemed very diligent, but in reality, she was slacking off the whole time.
Zhang Biyu was an old hand at slacking off. Actually, she didn’t intend to slack this time, but perhaps out of habit, there was not much for her to do.
The giant stone hands still reincarnated ten times before ceasing. Then, the Demonic Cult’s three leaders entered the Liver Chamber one after another.
Throughout the process, they were extremely cautious and careful. After all, optimistically, entering could mean obtaining a Divine Skill for free, but in the worst case, they might face some kind of monster after entering.
The others also chose their targets accordingly.
Yue Ningshuang and Ji Ye joined forces, both skilled in fire manipulation though Ji Ye’s power wasn’t quite as strong as Dongfang Hongyue’s, leading to a slight delay.
Daoist Master Red Sea Dragon chose to work with Priest Liao Wu.
Although Liao Wu hadn’t reached the Enlightened Realm, he was tough and enduring. Daoist Master Red Sea Dragon’s Big Red Python had also awakened; their group didn’t need to start fires. The purpose of burning was only to prevent the stone hands from returning underground, which would prompt the giant hands to reincarnate.
The innate Divine Skill of the Big Red Python was devouring and digestion—it could eat anything, digesting what was consumed and, if digestion wasn’t possible, it could expel it.
Swallowing a few rocks wasn’t an issue.
So their speed was only marginally slower than that of Dongfang Hongyue’s group, mainly due to their lower efficiency in destroying the stone hands, though the python’s eating rate was quite fast.
They entered the Spleen Chamber.
Not long after, Ji Ye and Yue Ningshuang entered the Kidney Chamber.
Everyone tacitly avoided challenging the Heart Chamber—since neither Dongfang Hongyue nor Lin Yu, among the most powerful fighters, chose to confront it, everyone subconsciously assumed the Heart Chamber to be the most formidable and dared not tackle it.
All the chambers had someone enter except for Baili Liuyun, who seemed like a forgotten individual.
No one teamed up with him.
Baili Liuyun had previously berated Ji Ye and Yue Ningshuang for running away early, which infuriated him, but once the anger subsided, he had to face the consequences.
Now, the two of them didn’t include him in their plans.
Red Sea Dragon and Priest Liao Wu had no intentions of excluding him but neither did they extend an invitation.
Nobody was obligated to anyone; if he wanted to come over, then he should just come. Why should he be invited?
From Baili Liuyun’s perspective, he was abandoned by everyone.
But, it was his own choice.
He intended to go to the Heart Chamber.
With complete detachment and loss of affection, every Divine Skill could be obtained.
As the name suggested, where others could only acquire one Divine Skill, he could attain them all.
However, with his abilities alone, even though he could break the stone hands, he couldn’t prevent their rebirth.
Moreover, it was the Heart Chamber that others didn’t dare to challenge.
But what of it?
The method to enter the Heart Chamber wasn’t just about brute force.
Below the gigantic stone hands, there was also an instruction detailing how to proceed.
Following the guidance, Baili Liuyun stood in front of the stone hand. Without any resistance, nor did the stone hand initiate an attack.
"Thousand Hands and Eyes, boundless magical power. I present my heart, in hope of God’s compassion."
At this point, no one knew what Baili Liuyun was doing on his own, as everyone else had already entered a stone chamber each.
When Baili Liuyun recited such words, the gigantic stone hand finally moved.
From its palm, shot out a needle-like thing, similar to a straw, which pierced Baili Liuyun’s chest.
Baili Liuyun grunted, suffering immense pain.
People often use "heart wrenching" to describe the feeling of heartache, which is imagined as the most painful experience, like being cut with a knife.
But at that moment, Baili Liuyuner experienced a pain even greater than being slashed by a knife.
It was his heart being sucked away bit by bit.
Each second pulled and pained him, a torment that pushed Baili Liuyun close to unconsciousness. He didn’t know how much time had passed; he was in a daze, aware only of his immense suffering. Gradually, though, the pain faded away, along with some indescribable things.
But he knew that he had indeed lost something forever.
Baili Liuyun touched his chest.
There were no wounds, no pain anymore. Looking around, there were no more forks in the path, just darkness.
Yet in this darkness, a woman clad in a white gauze dress with a graceful figure appeared.
As soon as this woman appeared, Baili Liuyun felt an overwhelming pressure. Almost instinctively, he fell to his knees and dared not look directly at the woman’s face.
"Join my fold, know my divine skills, I have already heard your plea, and I have granted you the power of a god."
The woman’s voice was ethereal and hollow, though she seemed close at hand, it still felt as if she were an illusory dream.
Baili Liuyun was terrified inside. Divine Spirits, this was a Divine Spirit!
He had thought it was just a sacrifice of the heart to gain power, but he hadn’t expected a Divine Spirit to actually appear.
For a moment, Baili Liuyun’s mind was flooded with countless thoughts, fear mingled with excitement.
Mortals all greatly yearned for Immortals, dreaming of cultivating into gods or immortals themselves. Although Yuxuan had said before that everyone was an immortal, to Baili Liuyun, that kind of immortality seemed useless.
Now, faced with a Divine Spirit, Baili Liuyun felt the immensity and greatness of a god, far surpassing that of mortals.
Alongside his excitement, he couldn’t help but ponder, where were the gods, why for so many years there had only been legends without any divine traces.
And why, during this period, were there more and more events related to gods? Previously, there had only been vague legends, but now there was solid proof.
Like the previous Moon God Ruins, the existence of such ruins practically confirmed the existence of the Moon God.
Various Divine Artifacts were also beginning to appear in this world. Baili Liuyun felt as if the world had suddenly lifted some sort of upper limit, ancient and mysterious forces were beginning to awaken, to the point where he, a Celestial Knowing Realm cultivator, almost seemed insignificant.
Change was happening too fast, and he was struggling to adapt.
However, his decision this time seemed to be the right one.
"Thank you, great god."
Baili Liuyun craftily began to express his gratitude.
This should be some kind of evil god, it was better to be courteous.
"I am not an evil god. Evil gods only plunder; we Righteous Gods give back in return once we take something."
Baili Liuyun: "..."
Crap, the thoughts of a mortal are completely transparent in front of a Divine Spirit.
Baili Liuyun began to feel afraid, unsure of what this god might do to him.
But since it was a Righteous God, they wouldn’t just kill someone for no reason, right?
"You mortals seem to have some misunderstandings about Divine Spirits. We Righteous Gods, we also eat people, you know!"
Baili Liuyun: "..."
Is this a god? Why does it sound like a demon?
"You are wrong again. Demons don’t eat people, gods do."
Baili Liuyun: "..."
Do all gods love to bully people like this?
