From the Valkyrie to the Endless

In the blink of an eye, the Nine Nether Saint King stripped her of her power and severed all ties between her and her believers.

This is the disadvantage of the power of incense and worship. The life and death of the subordinate gods all depend on the thoughts of the superior gods, and they have no power to resist.

The other eight gods were not surprised and did not react at all from beginning to end.

In their eyes, Yu had abandoned the favor of the Holy King, which was an unforgivable sin. The Holy King's decision not to kill her was already a great mercy.

In the blink of an eye, the jade statue collapsed and turned into gray and white rubble, and all its spiritual energy was lost.

A ray of spiritual light that was invisible to the naked eye emerged from the rubble, sank into the darkness, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

After a moment, the Holy King spoke again: "Pass on the order."

"promise."

A divine general walked out slowly. He looked to be a man in his thirties, with unusually long and sharp ears and a jade belt around his forehead.

There was a long whip hanging behind his waist, with countless dragon scales inserted in reverse like barbs, and it was covered with spiritual patterns.

He reached into the void and pulled out a jade scroll.

The scroll unfolded, revealing a blank space, while lines of gilded divine patterns gradually appeared on it.

[The Rain God encountered an evil demon from outer space, was outnumbered, and died heroically in outer space. The Holy King sympathized with his feelings and reported to the gods of heaven and earth, burying him in the kingdom of God to comfort his soul.]

The Rain God's choice to reincarnate voluntarily is tantamount to abandoning the Holy King, which is an outright act of treason. If the truth were to become known, it would undermine the Holy King's prestige.

The divine generals and the holy king are in tune with each other's minds, so there is no need for them to say many things out loud as they already know what is going on.

The scroll was rolled up again, and the written divine decree turned into a stream of light, flew out from the altar, and turned into countless streams of light, spreading between heaven and earth. One of them fell squarely into the imperial palace.

The Holy King opened his eyes a little, glanced at the original position of the Rain God General, and spoke lightly:

"Inform the gods that the position of God General is vacant and the capable one will take it. You can choose a suitable one to fill it later. There is no need to report it again."

After the words fell, the Holy King fell into complete silence.

The remaining eight gods bowed and responded verbally.

They all knew in their hearts that once this divine decree was announced, the world would inevitably be in chaos for a period of time.

There are only nine divine generals under the command of the Holy King. If no divine general retires, the remaining gods, no matter how powerful they are, will not have the opportunity to ascend to the position of divine general.

In today's situation where most of the believers in the world are in the hands of the Nine Nether Saint King, there will never be a chance to climb up unless you reach the position of a divine general.

The position of Rain God will bring about endless fighting. In order to demonstrate their own divine power, these lesser gods below will inevitably start to conquer each other.

The fighting among believers does not do any harm to the Holy King Jiuyou and the other gods.

When their own beliefs cannot be stabilized and the gods they worship are easily killed by other gods, these people whose faith has collapsed will pursue more powerful gods.

For example, the Holy King Jiuyou and the invincible generals under his command.

…………

Southern Region, Yunjing Prefecture, Haoyin City.

boom!

A loud bang spread throughout the city, followed by countless screams and howls.

Shen Qing, who had just showered, noticed the unusual movement, put on his clothes, and hurried out to observe the situation.

"The statue collapsed!"

"The Rain God is ascending to heaven!"

There was already a commotion outside the door, with similar words being heard in the streets and alleys.

Shen Qing saw some familiar faces in the crowd. He had seen them on the street before and they were probably believers.

Now their status has obviously changed, their cultivation has dropped drastically, and some have even become ordinary people.

Listening to the shouts on the street, Shen Qing quickly understood.

It should be that the statue of the guardian god enshrined in the city has fallen down, and the rain god has returned to heaven.

With the demise of the gods, the previous gifts of the gods will naturally disappear as well.

Shen Qing hurried to the City Lord's Mansion. The information here would definitely be more accurate than that from the outside world.

There was also a cloud of gloom in the City Lord's Mansion, with people gathered in front of the door, wanting to ask what had happened to the God of Rain.

Most people already knew about the fall of the God, but they still couldn't believe it and wanted to get an accurate answer from the City Lord's Mansion.

Shen Qing walked around for a while and then went straight into the courtyard and found Hong Shushan.

When they met, Shen Qing did not beat around the bush and asked in confusion: "Excuse me, sir, what happened?"

"The rain god is going to heaven,"

Hong Shushan did not hide anything and handed a official letter to Shen Qing.

The official letter contained two divine decrees concerning the divine general, which clearly explained the cause and effect.

"The competent ones take the place..."

Seeing these four words, Shen Qing's expression changed slightly. Such words seemed to be intentionally provoking disputes between the gods:

"Master Hong, this..."

"Don't doubt it, it's what you think."

Hong Shushan sneered: "Just for this sentence, these cats and dogs who claim to be gods will have their brains beaten out, and in the end, the people will suffer."

This statement is extremely outrageous, especially in this world dominated by gods.

However, Hong Shushan himself is a cultivator and not a believer of any god, so it is not surprising that he said such things.

"Don't worry, the rain gods are all dead. There is no god watching over this world now."

Perhaps noticing Shen Qing's strange expression, Hong Shushan waved his hand, a serious look on his face:

"That's why we're in big trouble now."

Shen Qing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted and his heart sank suddenly.

The Rain God is about to die, which means that the city has lost its protection.

Before the new general arrives to take office, the situation in Haoyin City will become very dangerous.

Without the protection of the guardian generals, facing some extremely terrifying demons and evil spirits, the current Haoyin City has no ability to fight back at all.

Any great demon in the Shenzang realm has the ability to destroy Haoyin City.

"The city lord originally wanted to subdue the monsters, but now he doesn't have to. He can just wait for these beasts to come to him."

Hong Shushan shook his head, sighed, and passed on the news without reservation.

Soon, all the monks and civilians in the city knew about the current situation of Haoyin City.

The atmosphere in the city became extremely depressing.

Many believers who have received the blessings of the Rain God simply cannot accept that they have fallen from the clouds to the bottom of the valley in an instant.

The huge blow of losing all their cultivation, coupled with the collapse of their faith, has almost plunged these people into complete despair when this news spread.

2023-08-02

After the news that the demons were about to attack the city spread, some cultivators immediately began to look for a way out, escaping from Haoyin City and heading towards Middle-earth.

The Holy King Jiuyou is extremely gracious to the God of Rain. Seven out of ten cities in the Southern Territory worship the followers of the God of Rain. The current situation is probably not much different.

Only Middle-earth is absolutely safe.

However, it was not so easy for some ordinary believers and common people to leave. On the one hand, they had families to support, and on the other hand, they were reluctant to leave their ancestral heritage. After hesitating for a while, they suppressed their somewhat panicked feelings and stayed in the city.

Deep down in their hearts, they still have a little trust in the Central Dynasty. Even if the Rain God no longer exists, there will definitely be a new God to fill his position. The Nine Nether Saint King will never leave the Southern Region alone and let the demons wreak havoc.

But no matter what, the feeling of the rising storm could no longer be suppressed.

Shen Qing waited in the City Lord's Mansion for a long time before he met the City Lord of Haoyin City, Ji Yunxiao.

Ji Yunxiao looked younger than Hong Shushan, but in his early thirties, without beard, and with a handsome face that was somewhat feminine, Shen Qing's first impression was that he was not easy to get along with.

This person is also a pure cultivator. His cultivation has reached the perfection of Gangsha. He has begun to comprehend the divine hidden in his body, but has not accepted the divine power bestowed by the gods. The death of the Rain God has not affected the foundation of his cultivation.

"December."

As soon as they met, Ji Yunxiao took the initiative to say hello with a gentle attitude:

"I've heard Shushan talk about you. You are a young man to be feared."

His real age is much older than Hong Shushan's, nearly 400 years old. More than 30 years ago, he came to Haoyin City alone to take up his post. It is said that he seems to have started a family, but his family is far away in Middle-earth, and he has not been able to go back for several years.

Separated by a region of land, it would take a long time for a cultivator at the Gangsha realm to go back and forth, and the consumption of the teleportation spirit array was too expensive, so he naturally could not go back and forth at will.

As for why he didn't bring his family to live with him, only Ji Yunxiao himself knew the reason.

"You are too kind, City Lord."

Shen Qing ignored Ji Yunxiao's polite words and turned to ask the most important question: "Can the city lord tell me when those evil spirits will arrive? What are their specific strengths?"

Only by knowing the other party's specific strength can she make the subsequent decision, which may affect her future path.

"The earliest is tonight, and the latest is three days. As for their strength... there will be many monsters at the Gangsha and even Shenzang realms..."

Ji Yunxiao shook his head and smiled: "Maybe there will even be powerful gods at the same level as the God Generals."

Those who are interested in the Southern Region are far more than just the evil gods and demons in the obscene sacrifices.

After the death of the Rain God, it is impossible for the remaining eight gods not to be tempted by such a large share of the power of faith that has been vacated. No god would complain that he has too many believers.

Ji Yunxiao knows the situation in Middle-earth better than those who were born and raised in the Southern Region.

There have always been nine divine generals under the command of the Holy King Jiuyou. Now that one is missing, the number must be filled. However, the other eight divine generals will not choose to stand idly by and let this newly joined divine general become too powerful and become equal to them.

The factors that affect the cultivation of gods are nothing but the number of believers and the purity of their faith. For this feast, the gods in the imperial capital will certainly not be able to sit still.
