Chapter 1674 Seeking the Divine
Lin Qiye’s series of deductions immediately left everyone else in the study confused.
Only Wuquan, who also came from the future and could understand the vampire example, seemed to grasp part of his meaning, and his expression immediately turned grim.
“Wait… are you saying that what I killed that day was actually Kusuen’s son? And those spores released before it died are considered the main body’s grandchildren?” Chloe asked tentatively. “The grandchildren copy ordinary people, the sons copy special agents, and the main body copies gods?”
With Chloe’s down-to-earth example, Yan Zhong and Huo Qubing also understood Lin Qiye’s meaning.
“Gods? Do gods really exist in this world?” Huo Qubing frowned and asked.
“Yes,” Lin Qiye and Chloe nodded simultaneously.
“But that doesn’t make sense either. If that finger’s purpose was to kill you, why didn’t it directly send the strongest main body? Why send a son instead? Where is the main body?” Yan Zhong countered.
Lin Qiye seemed to realize something, turned to look out the window, and his expression immediately became complicated.
“No wonder… no wonder they haven’t appeared even though the human world has fallen into such chaos…”
“They? Who are they?”
“Gods,” Lin Qiye slowly said. “The gods belonging to Great Xia… no, belonging to us.”
Even during the evil spirit disturbances, Lin Qiye had wondered where the Heavenly Court and the gods of Great Xia had gone in this era. Evil spirits were openly running rampant everywhere, why weren’t they taking action?
If he remembered correctly, the Heavenly Court and some of the Great Xia gods should have already appeared in this era. Although perhaps not all the gods of later generations had been born yet… at least the Queen Mother of the West and the Jade Emperor existed.
Even if they could ignore the evil spirit disturbances, they should have intervened when [Chaos] and Kusuen descended upon Chang’an… but from beginning to end, Lin Qiye hadn’t seen a single Great Xia god.
Now it seemed there was only one possibility… When [Chaos] was planning the ambush against Lin Qiye, it had already considered the factor of the Great Xia gods, so it directly used Kusuen’s main body to keep the Heavenly Court occupied, while bringing a first-generation offspring to Chang’an.
After all, as long as the Great Xia gods didn’t intervene, the strongest in the human world were just Huo Qubing, Lin Qiye, and Chloe. None of them had ascended to godhood, so they could be copied by the first-generation offspring. With proper preparation, killing Lin Qiye wouldn’t be a problem.
Facts proved this was indeed successful. If Lin Qiye hadn’t awakened [Causeless Cause] and [Predetermined Effect], he would have died at [Chaos]’s hands long ago.
“So what should we do?” Huo Qubing pondered. “If we kill what you call the main body, will all these offspring disappear?”
“They should, but if that’s the case, its main body must have power approaching that of a supreme god, and humans without laws can’t kill it… I don’t know if the Great Xia gods of this era can kill it either,” Lin Qiye sighed deeply.
If it were the Great Xia gods from two thousand years later, forget just Kusuen, even [The Black Goat] as one of the three pillar gods wouldn’t dare provoke them. But in this era, it was uncertain whether the three Heavenly Venerables had appeared yet, because in Lin Qiye’s memory, Taoism only emerged during the Eastern Han Dynasty, at least a hundred years from now.
“If that’s the case, we’ll go help them,” Huo Qubing said.
“Marquis, those are gods!” Yan Zhong’s eyes widened. “Gods fighting gods, is that something we humans can interfere with?”
“Gods, so what? I’d like to see just how big the gap is between myself and gods,” Huo Qubing narrowed his eyes, a gleam flashing through them.
“…”
Actually, there isn’t much difference between you and gods… Lin Qiye thought to himself.
“That’s a good suggestion,” Lin Qiye nodded. “As it happens, my next plan also requires finding them.”
“You already have an idea?”
“Yes, I’ll explain the details on the way.”
“Good. Yan Zhong, have someone prepare the carriages. We’ll set out today,” Huo Qubing immediately ordered. Although his expression remained unchanged, one could sense a hint of fighting spirit in his eyes.
“Eastern gods… I’ve certainly never seen those before,” Chloe blinked. “If I help them kill gods, perhaps it could count as friendly exchange between Eastern and Western deities?”
Yan Zhong’s gaze swept over the three eager people before him, with an expression as if he’d seen ghosts…
Those are gods!
I know you three are strong, but as humans, declaring you’ll help gods fight… aren’t you afraid your lives are too long?!
“Don’t worry,” Lin Qiye patted Yan Zhong’s shoulder. “Gods aren’t as strong as you think. I’ve killed one before… though I only assisted.”
Yan Zhong: ???
Although Yan Zhong was reluctant in every way, under Huo Qubing’s pressuring gaze, he still obediently went out to prepare the carriages.
“Gongyang Wan, you come too,” Huo Qubing turned and said.
Gongyang Wan, who had been invisible in the corner, was startled. “You’re all going to act crazy, why bring me along?”
“With this Marquis away, who in Chang’an city could keep you in check?”
“…Hmph.” Gongyang Wan snorted coldly and said no more.
“Marquis, I’d like to request another person,” Lin Qiye seemed to remember something.
“Who?”
“Hu Jia.”
Huo Qubing knew this name. Before coming, Yan Zhong had already introduced him, so he immediately nodded, “No problem.”
Half an hour later.
Two carriages were already waiting outside the mansion. Hu Jia had been called back and climbed into one carriage uncertainly. When he lifted the curtain, he found Lin Qiye, Wuquan, and Chloe already waiting inside.
“We meet again,” Lin Qiye smiled and patted the seat beside him. “Come sit here.”
Although he didn’t know what was happening, he obediently sat down next to Lin Qiye. Having come in such a hurry, he hadn’t even had time to change into the clothes just assigned by the Demon Suppression Bureau. He still wore that patched dark blue robe, with a stone ocarina hanging at his waist, looking extremely plain.
Zhan Yuwu, who had returned with Hu Jia, was also bewilderedly pulled by Yan Zhong to the front carriage to ride with Huo Qubing and Gongyang Wan.
Seeing all eight people assembled, Huo Qubing lightly waved his hand, and the coachmen drove the two carriages toward the outskirts of Chang’an.
As the walls of Chang’an gradually receded from view, Hu Jia lowered the curtain on the side of the carriage and couldn’t help asking:
“Lord Lin, where are we going?”
Lin Qiye, wearing a wintergreen Han robe, sat in the center of the carriage and calmly replied:
“To seek gods.”
