The Old Gods

Chapter 797 Goodbye Immortal Sheep

Chapter 797 Goodbye Immortal Sheep
Occasionally, subtle sounds could be heard in the Jingxian Hall.

Jiang Ruyi and Yan Shuangzi stood in front of the left and right walls respectively. They carefully placed the small fairy sheep sculptures one by one.

And deep in the hall, in front of a huge stone statue of an immortal sheep.

Lu Ran was standing there with his eyes closed and his hands clasped together, motionless.

[More than four years, from the fog realm to the sky realm, not bad.] A low and hoarse voice fell in his mind.

Four years?

Lu Ran was slightly stunned, then he lowered his head and smiled.

Yes, I succeeded in worshiping God in 2018, and now it is 2022, only four years have passed.

But these so-called four years felt like forty years.

I have experienced so many things along the way, especially during my time at Holy Spirit Mountain, where one year felt like ten years.

[The little human race is indeed gifted. 】

Such exclamatory words can be considered as official certification, right?

Lu Ran couldn't help but think of his mother and asked, "Master Xianyang, have you communicated with my mother in private?"

[It seems that you have found out a lot of information in the Holy Spirit Mountain.] The god's tone was rarely ridiculed.

Is this a side response?

Lu Ran whispered, "There are Heavenly Realm Executioners who came down from the heavens and entered the mountains to kill the Tian Jiao of the Great Xia Dynasty, among them are my mother's old subordinates.

That person said that my mother was very powerful and feared by gods and demons, so she was invited back to the human world."

[You were indeed very unbridled in Holy Spirit Mountain.]

Lu Ran opened his mouth and realized that Lord Xianyang was not willing to discuss other things. The focus of the conversation was always on Lu Ran.

He pondered for a moment and asked with concern: [How is your situation? The gods and demons all know that you are the god worshipped by the number one prodigy of Daxia.]

[Ha.] Xianyang sneered, [It's just a pile of stones, what can it do to me.]

Lu Ran raised his head and stared at the stone sculpture of the immortal sheep.

Are you so domineering?

Isn't this sense of security a bit too much?

Well, I hope you won't be so stubborn and just hold on for the sake of saving face.

[Hmm?] The slightly rising nasal sound was imprinted in Lu Ran's mind.

Lu Ran was startled and said quickly: "My younger brother didn't know why you chose me before. Now it seems that it was because of my mother."

【Then why don't I just choose your mother? 】

"Uh." Lu Ran scratched his head.

It seems to be right. But it’s not!

You say it as if you can snatch it away.

Isn't he Jianyi's disciple? And he is being monitored by Jianyi. How could he have the conditions to do something secretly?

[If there is nothing else to do, go back as soon as possible and start ascending to heaven.] The voice in my mind turned cold, [The energy there is more concentrated, which can make you grow faster.]

Lu Ran shuddered.

You are such a domineering sheep, so heartless!
It's been such a long time since we last met, and you're already sending me away after only being here for a short time.
Lu Ran organized his words and said, "Disciple will ascend to heaven as soon as possible, but there are some things that I would like to ask for your guidance, Master Xianyang.

Disciple has obtained some information and learned that gods and demons have the same origin and are two sides of the same coin? "

[Why are you asking when you already know the answer? Haven't your subordinates already merged with the Divine Sculpture and the Evil Sculpture? ]

"Ah? Master Xianyang felt it?"

【Um. 】

"So, the demon camp was created by the gods?"

【Not creation, but division. 】

Lu Ran frowned: "Why do you do this? Won't the strength be weakened after the division?"

[Only by doing this can you humans complete the transformation at the fastest speed, rebuild a new order, and allow you to be ruled more thoroughly.]

Lu Ran's face darkened.

[You are very smart. Tell me, if this pile of stones were to descend directly to the human world and recruit believers, what would the effect be?]

Lu Ran pursed his lips.

It is undeniable that humans will still accept new things, gradually change their ideas, and enter an era of universal worship of God.

After all, stone sculptures can give believers magical powers! When others can fly and hide, are you still willing to be an ordinary person?
In essence, it is not a question of willingness at all.

If you fall behind you will be beaten, and you have to be willing!
But the problem is, there are billions of people living in this world. How long will it take to get everyone involved?

The choice of gods and demons is undoubtedly more efficient.

The evil camp goes first!

In three months, it wreaked havoc on the human world, causing great suffering to all.

I want you to suffer and be afraid!
It is to use repeated human tragedies and batches of deaths to make those survivors feel the deepest sorrow and despair.

When the life of the race hangs by a thread, the hypocritical camp of gods appears on the scene.

This group of saviors quelled the chaos in the world and saved the collapsing empire.

So, how long will it take to get billions of people to fully accept new things, adapt to the environment, and completely change their mindsets?
The gods and demons handed in an answer sheet:
Three months.

There is no need for complete victory, and there is no need for the evil camp to be completely suppressed. From the moment the gods come to the world, the era of national worship of God will be completely opened!

Gradually adapt? Slowly accept?
Do not!
The piety level is directly maxed out.

The fooled human race knelt in front of the shrines for a long time and could not get up.

Even those humans who had speculations and doubts in their hearts had to kneel down and kowtow in the face of the general trend.

[It seems that you have figured it out. ]

"Thank you for your guidance, Master Xianyang." Lu Ran said in a low voice.

Inside the Jingxian Hall, Jiang Ruyi and Yan Shuangzi's movements were somewhat stiff.

What’s interesting is that the high and mighty god, Lord Xianyang, did not scare the two girls, but it was the young human being who made them shudder.

Lu Ran was silent for a moment, then continued, "My disciple asked that subordinate to fuse the two stone sculptures of Black Carp and Dragon Carp. Is this the right direction of growth?"

【There is no right or wrong in this world. 】

Lu Ran raised his eyebrows slightly.

【It's just a choice.】

"I understand, Master Xianyang." Lu Ran bowed and saluted, "I have two subordinates, Xihuang and Nüba.

What happens if they fuse? "

[The weak will become the nourishment of the strong. ]

Lu Ran’s eyes fixed!
So the two generals Feng and Yan cannot merge, and one of them will be swallowed up?

Unexpectedly, Lord Xianyang changed the subject: [The premise of cooperation is that the two sides are evenly matched.] "Is that so." Lu Ran seemed to be thinking, "If the two humans and the evil sculpture and the god sculpture are both at the first level of the heavenly realm, would that be considered evenly matched?"

If we make a strict distinction, how can there be any beings in the world where the strong and the weak are exactly the same?

[It is enough if the realms are equal, the rest is for the stronger party to be more compassionate to the weaker party. ]

"Disciple, I understand!" Lu Ran showed gratitude on his face.

[Your attention should not be focused only on the two sides of the coin of God and Demon. ]

Lu Ran was a little confused: "Please enlighten me, Master Xianyang."

[After your subordinates become stone sculptures, they can devour not only their own opposites, but also other stone sculptures.]

"Ah?" Lu Ran was shocked.

[But only two-sided stone sculptures can seize the corresponding divine and evil magic, such as the Dragon Ink Carp. If the Dragon Ink Carp devours other stone sculptures, it will only seize their original power and strengthen itself. ]

"I understand." Lu Ran nodded slightly.

The stone statue of the immortal sheep seemed to be staring at Lu Ran, smiling: [Do you really understand? ]

Lu Ran was stunned for a moment, and then his thoughts changed rapidly.

The entire sculpture garden belongs to Lu Ran. Letting Yu Changsheng devour other stone sculptures and take the holy spirit contained in the stone sculptures is obviously not worth the loss.

There is no need to kill the goose that lays the eggs.

So what the immortal sheep said about "stone sculpture" is...
The real God in reality?!
If the soldiers of Ranmen join forces to kill a god/demon, can Yu Changsheng directly seize the opponent's original energy?
Or rather, by that time, all the false gods of Ranmen would be able to pounce on it and feast on it.

Eat the gods and demons!
In this case, it becomes a big question as to who the Ranmen should focus on training and which god or demon should be killed first.

【Ruzi is teachable.】

Lu Ran slowly raised his head and looked at the stone sculpture of the immortal sheep that was always smiling.

Two more words were imprinted in my mind, with a sinister tone:
【Great tonic. 】

"Gulp." Lu Ran's Adam's apple rolled.

[It only took you four years to reach your current height. I believe that day is not far away.]

"Sure!" Lu Ran gathered his thoughts and nodded heavily.

【Well, let’s go back. 】

"Please don't, Master Xianyang! Please let me ask you a few more questions. I miss you so much after not seeing you for such a long time."

[Say!] The cold voice interrupted someone's expression of longing.

As expected, he is the domineering Mr. Yang.

Cold-blooded, huh?
Lu Ran pursed his lips and asked, "Some stone sculptures are not divided into two, such as Lingqian and Nvying. Why can these stone sculptures not be in harmony? Is there any price to pay?"

[Some answers you can find yourself.] The cold voice fell again.

Lu Ran was not sure whether he responded in this way because Lord Xianyang was also among them.

He didn't dare to ask further, so he said directly: "After Xiesu is promoted to Jiangjing, he can summon evil demon minions and create flesh and blood bodies.

Although Jiangjing Shensu can also summon minions, the so-called minions are the afterimages of gods."

[Ha.] Lord Xianyang suddenly sneered, and there seemed to be a hint of contempt in his laughter.

Lu Ran felt his scalp tingling, and asked cautiously, "Master Xianyang?"

[Since the stone sculpture was not split into two, how can the ability be split into two? ]

"Ah!" Lu Ran looked as if he had suddenly realized something.

Right!

In other words, the "complete form" of the Lingqian itself has the ability to summon two types of minions: flesh and blood, and afterimages.

But in the human world, these gods cannot summon flesh and blood minions to cause trouble on the fifteenth night.

Because the image of the minions is the real god.

Then the truth will be revealed!

The gods themselves lead the team to invade human cities. Just thinking about it is exciting!

【One last question.】 The voice became colder.

Lu Ran opened his mouth and hesitated for a long time before he chose a question: "My disciple has subdued several executioners who came from the Heaven Realm, as well as the Heaven Realm Dust Shadow believer who sent me back to the human world.

Presumably, they are all the focus of attention of gods and demons.

If I ask them to change their allegiance and join my sect."

[The gods and demons do have rules and mutual restraints, and neither is allowed to set foot on the Holy Spirit Mountain, so no matter how you stir up trouble, it doesn't matter.] The hoarse voice paused, and then said, [But now, I'm afraid it's not the right time.]

Lu Ran keenly grasped a piece of information.

Have the gods and demons established rules among themselves?
Why is this?

[After you enter the heavens and see the wider world, you can decide for yourself. ]

"Yes!" Lu Ran nodded and said quickly, "One last question!"

Stone sculpture of immortal sheep: "."

"Just one, Lord Fairy Sheep! Can I ask you one last time?" Lu Ran put his hands together and bowed like a kitten or a puppy. "I'll leave right after you finish asking."

【Humph. 】

Lu Ran was delighted, Lord Immortal Sheep really spoils me!
He did not dare to delay and said quickly: "My mother's old subordinates also brought the magic sword she cultivated in the past, but I did not dare to bring the sword back directly.

Lord Xianyang, can I contact my mother?"

The Jingxian Hall fell into silence.

Long silence.

Not answering is actually a kind of answer.

Lu Ran's expression gradually became lost, and he suppressed his deep longing in his heart: "Disciple, I understand.

I will start preparing now and ascend to heaven as soon as possible."

His eyes were dim, he bowed deeply to the stone sculpture, then turned and left.

Suddenly, a sigh came from my mind.

Lu Ran stopped walking suddenly.

The voice was no longer cold, but just whispered: [Things should be done in secrecy.]

"Disciple, I understand." Lu Ran turned around and bowed again.

At this moment, another voice transmission came down: [She seems to be a very tight-lipped person. ]
