I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2299 The Alternative God Lord
Elder Qi took a deep breath and slowly said, "According to my observation, a soul is quietly forming within the body of the deity... but this soul, its aura, its fluctuations, are not quite like a human soul."

"???" This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, instantly stunning everyone present.

Their faces were filled with astonishment and bewilderment, as if they had heard the most unbelievable thing in the world.

A soul is forming within the body of a deity, and it's not a human soul? What could it be? A demon? A monster? Or some unknown entity?
A chill crept into everyone's hearts, and they all had a strong sense of foreboding, as if a huge storm was about to sweep in and engulf them all.

"This...how is this possible?" Yu Qiushui's voice trembled. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. His gaze shifted back and forth between Elder Qi and Elder Zong, as if searching for a negative answer.

Elder Zong sighed, his voice low and somber: "It is indeed the case. I also don't want to believe what is happening, but a problem has definitely arisen, so we need to prepare as soon as possible."

Peng Cheng stood to the side, his brows furrowed, clearly puzzled by Elder Zong's words. He glanced at the people around him and couldn't help but ask, "What preparations are we making? Elder Zong, could you explain it more clearly?"

Elder Qi picked up the conversation, a hint of barely perceptible worry in his voice: "We must prepare for the resurrection of the God. Although it may sound unbelievable, according to our observations and calculations, the possibility of the God's resurrection is gradually increasing."

Upon hearing this, Peng Sheng's face immediately lit up with joy: "Isn't that a good thing? Once the God Lord is resurrected, our Heavenly Lord Palace can regain its former glory and dominate the entire God Realm! At that time, the Four Domain God Kings will just be subjects under our God Lord, not worth mentioning!"

However, Yu Qiushui was not as optimistic as Peng Cheng. He pulled Peng Cheng aside, stared intently at Elder Qi, and asked urgently, "Elder Qi, just tell me the truth, what exactly does the soul formed within the divine body look like?"

Elder Qi hesitated for a few seconds, seemingly weighing the weight of his words. Finally, he spoke: "I don't know that soul either. It's neither dog nor pig nor donkey; in short, it's very abstract and difficult to describe in words."

Upon hearing Elder Qi's description, Yu Qiushui felt dizzy and almost fainted.

The body of the deity must be dominated by the soul within it. If that soul is truly a bizarre monster, like the shape of a dog, how can their Catholic Temple possibly dominate the world? They'd be laughed at to death.

Yu Qiushui took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He knew very well that now was not the time to panic. The resurrection of the God was imminent, and they had to find a solution as soon as possible, otherwise the entire Temple of Heaven and even the City of Heaven would face annihilation.

The culprit behind all this, Liu Jun, had already leisurely returned to his residence. Moonlight streamed through the window, dappling his face and revealing a smug smile.

"How did it go? Did you succeed?" Shuiyue rushed over anxiously, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Her tone carried a hint of urgency, as if she was extremely concerned about the outcome of Liu Jun's actions. After all, she had dealt with Yu Qiushui, that old fox, before, and he was extremely difficult to deal with.

"It has to succeed!" Liu Jun grinned and said confidently, "If I, Liu Jun, take action, I'll make it succeed, or I'll make it succeed!"

His tone was somewhat teasing, but it also revealed his absolute confidence in himself. For example, he didn't believe Yu Qiushui's attempt to deceive him at all.

The reason they cooperated so readily was simply to put on a show, to ensure the plan went smoothly, and to trick Yu Qiushui in a big way.

"Tell me the details." Shui Yuexin's interest was piqued instantly; she couldn't wait to know exactly how Liu Jun had framed Yu Qiushui.

Her eyes were fixed on Liu Jun, as if afraid of missing any detail.

As an old acquaintance of Yu Qiushui, she knew all too well how cunning Yu Qiushui was. It was the first time in all these years that she had ever heard of someone managing to trick Yu Qiushui.

Seeing this, Liu Jun cleared his throat and recounted the whole story in detail. He described how the scheme was cleverly laid out, how Yu Qiushui was led into the trap step by step, and the bizarre situation that the divine body was currently trapped in.

Shui Yuexin grew increasingly shocked as she listened, her eyes widening and her expression becoming more and more incredulous. Towards the end, she even gasped, as if frozen in place.

"Wait a minute, are you saying that the God is about to be resurrected, but it's not the God who will be resurrected, but a domestic animal?" Shui Yuexin finally couldn't help but interrupt Liu Jun's narration, her voice trembling slightly, clearly extremely shocked by this result.

“That’s one way to put it.” Liu Jun nodded, still wearing that smug smile. “After all, the soul inside the God’s body has become a domestic animal, so the God’s body is naturally controlled by that soul. Therefore, after being resurrected, its actions will definitely be those of a domestic animal.”

Upon hearing this, Shui Yuexin fell into deep thought. She couldn't imagine the uproar that would ensue if the God's body were truly resurrected as livestock. This world would likely be engulfed in an unprecedented storm.

"When it comes to causing trouble, you're absolutely the best. I've never seen anyone bolder than you." Shui Yuexin gave a thumbs up, her eyes sparkling with excitement, as if she had witnessed an unprecedented feat.

She now felt she had truly chosen the right person to follow; it was so exciting, things she would never have dared to imagine before. Turning the supreme god into livestock wasn't just a crazy idea, but a daring challenge to the rules of the divine realm. Needless to say, whether it could actually be done was enough to cause a sensation throughout the entire divine realm, triggering a massive uproar.

After all, the divine beings hold an incomparably high position in the divine realm, and their existence is the object of worship and reverence for countless people. Now, someone has actually dared to turn a divine being into livestock, which is undoubtedly a serious provocation against the authority of the divine realm.

Moreover, once this news gets out, those who are fanatically worshipping the God will inevitably unite and launch a relentless hunt down the instigator.

"Now we'll see what those people from the Catholic Temple do next," Liu Jun said with a chuckle, a playful smile on his face.

He seemed to have anticipated the reaction of the people in the Catholic Church and was waiting to see a good show unfold.

"Do they have any other ideas?" Shui Yuexin asked curiously, her bright eyes fixed on Liu Jun, as if waiting for an amazing answer.

Liu Jun gently shook his head and slowly said, "If I were them, then they would only have three paths before them. The first is to do everything in their power to prevent the God Lord's resurrection and shatter the soul that has not yet formed inside. However, the God Lord's body is not so easy to break, and they may not have that strength and ability. So this path is unlikely to be successful."

"What about the second path?" Shui Yuexin pressed, clearly showing great interest in Liu Jun's analysis.

"The second option is to spend a huge sum of money right now to imprison the God's body," Liu Jun continued. "But the God's body is incredibly powerful and cannot be subdued by ordinary people. Imprisoning it would likely require a tremendous price and effort. Moreover, even if we successfully imprison the God's body, there's no guarantee that it won't suddenly erupt at some point and cause an even greater disaster. So this option is also unlikely to be feasible."

"And what about the third way?" Shui Yuexin asked impatiently, as if she had already guessed the answer.

"The third option is to let it go and lose face," Liu Jun said with a smile. "After all, the God's body is about to be resurrected, and it doesn't seem that easy to deal with. If the Heavenly Lord's Temple tries to take action but fails, it will only cause more resentment and doubt. At that time, their reputation and status will be severely damaged. So, sometimes choosing to give up is a kind of wisdom."

At this point, both of them couldn't help but laugh. They seemed to already see the awkward and helpless expressions on the faces of the people in the Catholic Church when faced with this thorny problem.

The people from the Temple of God were indeed at a loss when faced with the current predicament. Their faces were filled with anxiety and helplessness, as if the entire divine realm was weighing on their shoulders.

"Think of a way to resolve this quickly!" Yu Qiushui roared angrily, his voice echoing in the empty hall, making everyone's eardrums ache.

He has urgently gathered all the senior members of the Catholic Church and explained the seriousness of the situation in detail, hoping that someone can come up with a decent solution.

However, the result was extremely disappointing. The entire room fell silent; it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Let alone offering any opinions, they didn't even dare to breathe loudly, for fear of accidentally provoking Yu Qiushui, who was like a powder keg about to explode.

Yu Qiushui's face grew increasingly gloomy, his eyes flashing with anger and disappointment.

"Dozens of people, don't you have a single solution to this problem?" Yu Qiushui roared again.

Just then, Elder Qi's disciple hurried over, his face filled with tension and anxiety.

"Palace Master, my master said that the soul within the Divine Lord's body will be fully formed in two hours. If it is not dealt with soon, it may cause a great disaster!" Elder Qi's disciple's words struck everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer.

Upon hearing this, Yu Qiushui's body jolted. He stared wide-eyed at Elder Qi's disciple, as if trying to see right through him.

"You bunch of useless trash, what use are you!" Yu Qiushui roared again in uncontrollable rage, then stood up and scanned the people present.

His eyes were filled with disappointment and anger, as if he wanted to devour these incompetent subordinates alive.

Having said that, Yu Qiushui was unwilling to stay any longer. She turned around and strode away from the hall, heading once again to the location of the God's body in the underground of the Heavenly Palace.

At this moment, beside the body of the deity, Elder Zong and Elder Qi's faces were so solemn that they seemed to drip water.

Each of them led a few of their elite men, busily working in the area. A tense and oppressive atmosphere permeated the air, making every second feel exceptionally heavy.
