Chapter 347: God Slayer!

In the great hall, the expressions of the palace masters were all somewhat grave.

A new god had appeared in this world, and moreover, it was a super divine god.

This was not good news for their four great divine palaces, because the emergence of a new god would inevitably disrupt the existing order.

At that moment, the master of the Divine Dao Palace, Jin Qing, suddenly spoke up, “Everyone, enough silence. Let’s hear where you all stand.”

The master of the Ancient Evil God Palace, Ke Sheng, let out a sinister laugh, “Where we stand? That is a genuine divine god, and a super divine god at that.”

The master of the Awakening Divine Palace, Xie Jie, suddenly spoke, “He is a weakened god.”

A weakened god!

The other three palace masters glanced at him.

The master of the Awakening Divine Palace, Xie Jie, said, “We essentially have two paths. First, we act as if nothing happened and let things develop on their own, but we must be prepared to give up some interests, because a new god will inevitably need an official residence. Second, we strike while he is ill and take his life.”

Take his life!

The moment those words were spoken, the atmosphere in the hall instantly grew tense.

Godslaying!

To speak of godslaying in the divine universe was undoubtedly an act of the gravest treachery.

Xie Jie glanced at the others, and seeing their grave expressions, he let out a cold laugh, “Why did that Star God go to Moha Divine Prison?”

The other three palace masters fell silent.

What kind of place was Moha Divine Prison?

It was a place specifically dedicated to opposing the gods!

The Star God going there… the intention was already quite clear.

The master of the Divine Dao Palace, Jin Qing, gave a slight nod, “Brother Xie speaks the truth. We should not harbor any illusions.”

The master of the Ancient Evil God Palace, Ke Sheng, also nodded, “This Moha Divine Prison should disappear from this world as well.”

The three of them seemed to think of something at the same time and suddenly turned to look at the master of the Heavenly Lord Divine Palace, Chu Nai, who had been silent all along.

Chu Nai said, “Godslaying is no small matter. If we don’t do it, we don’t do it. But if we do, we must go all out and give the other party no chance whatsoever. Otherwise, if we fail and let them escape, the future……”

The expressions of everyone present grew grave.

If they failed to kill, it would mean a blood feud.

The retaliation of a super divine god… just thinking about it made their scalps tingle.

Chu Nai continued, “Of course, we already have no way out. Even if we choose to back down and give up some official residences, that god will not be satisfied. On the contrary, the appetite will only grow larger and larger. Therefore, a divine war will certainly happen in the future… given that, we might as well act now.”

Jin Qing nodded, “Well said. If we act now, our chances of winning are greater.”

Chu Nai said, “Much greater.”

Everyone looked at Chu Nai, who slowly said, “Given the pride of a god, if the god had sufficient power right now, the god would have already swept us all away. After all, our own divine gods are not present, yet the god did not do so. There is only one explanation: the god is very weak right now, even weaker than we imagined.”

Upon hearing this, the eyes of everyone present instantly lit up with eagerness.

They were not those ignorant common people. In their eyes, gods were not invincible, let alone a weakened one.

Of course, they were thinking about even more than that.

The benefits that would come from slaying a god, a super divine god… the gains would be boundless.

Chu Nai suddenly said, “What does the Ancient Divine Palace think?”

Jin Qing shook his head, “That one says everyone should be united and loving.”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s brows furrowed.

The Ancient Divine Palace was the strongest among the five great divine palaces. If it also participated, one could say it would be almost certain victory.

But unfortunately, that one from the Ancient Divine Palace was a bit abnormal and difficult to communicate with.

The master of the Ancient Evil God Palace, Ke Sheng, suddenly said, “Forget the Ancient Divine Palace. With our four palaces joining forces, eliminating a weakened god should not be a big problem.”

The others nodded.

Jin Qing said, “When do we act?”

Ke Sheng said, “Today.”

Everyone was somewhat taken aback.

Ke Sheng said in a low voice, “We cannot give the god time. Once the injuries recover, by then…….”

Chu Nai nodded, “We cannot give the god time. We act today. However, before we act, we must seize the moral high ground. Our four palaces will jointly issue an announcement declaring that we are punishing those who blaspheme the gods!”

Jin Qing frowned, “Punishing those who blaspheme the gods?”

Chu Nai glanced at him, “Between punishing those who blaspheme the gods and punishing a divine god, which do you think is more appropriate?”

Jin Qing said, “Naturally… the former.”

A divine god!

If they truly declared war on a divine god, it would absolutely shake the morale of their forces.

Chu Nai nodded, “We cannot let the world know the true identity of that Star God for now. We will treat the god as Ye Tianming.”

The others also nodded one after another.

When picking fruit, you naturally go for the soft ones.

In a corner nearby, Lu Ren glanced at the others and said nothing.

But in his heart, he was already quietly calculating.

The Star God had taken over Ye Tianming’s body?

He felt things were not that simple, because he had interacted with Ye Tianming before, and moreover, that Ye Tianming might have some connection with the master of the Guanxuan Sword. Otherwise, how could the other party have so effortlessly retrieved that strand of sword light?

He felt there was a conspiracy here.

A grand conspiracy!

Damn it!

Lu Ren felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

No good!

He had to get out!

Very quickly, he thought of two options.

Since ancient times, those who wished to walk away unscathed either feigned illness or feigned madness.

Feigning madness was not suitable… so feigning illness it was.

Cultivation deviation.

“Ahh!”

A piercing shriek suddenly rang out through the hall.

Everyone turned to look at Lu Ren, only to see his body convulsing, like someone having an epileptic fit.

One hour later.

The previously calm divine universe was suddenly thrown into an uproar. The four great divine palaces, standing at the pinnacle of the divine universe, simultaneously issued an announcement:

“Moha Divine Prison, the most despicable entity in the divine universe, has long openly blasphemed the gods and challenged divine authority. Such behavior is the gravest of treacheries and an unforgivable crime. In order to uphold the order of the divine universe and defend the dignity of the gods, the four great divine palaces have decided to jointly launch a campaign against the blasphemers…….”

As the announcement was released, the strongest fighters of the four great divine palaces all set out, heading straight for Moha Divine Prison.

The god-affiliated families that depended on them also dispatched their clan’s strongest fighters at the first opportunity, rushing toward Moha Divine Prison.

In an instant, the entire divine universe was set ablaze. The proclamations of the four great divine palaces spread like wildfire, rapidly reaching every corner of the divine universe. Even the scattered cultivators originally dispersed throughout the divine universe were swept up by the proclamations, and they spontaneously made their way to Moha Divine Prison to join the campaign against the blasphemers.

A mighty force, vast and surging!

The Academy of Gods.

With the four great divine palaces launching a simultaneous campaign, some students within the Academy of Gods were themselves members of the four great divine palaces. Therefore, when the four great divine palaces issued their call, they directly left the Academy of Gods and rushed to Moha Divine Prison, ready to fight for the honor of their palaces.

And at this moment, the various students of the Academy of Gods were all bustling with activity.

Because the four great divine palaces launching a campaign against Moha Divine Prison was an enormous event. The mission hall of the Academy of Gods became frantically busy, and the mission board was being updated at a dizzying speed. All of these missions were related to the campaign against Moha Divine Prison, and the credit rewards were several times higher than before, at the very least.

Some missions even offered astronomical credits, making many students’ hearts race as they poured into the mission hall to pick out tasks that interested them.

Among them, the alchemists and talisman drawers practically had their eyes turning red.

Pills that normally fetched only ten or so incense divine crystals were now worth sixty or seventy, and supply could not meet demand.

The talisman drawers were even more extreme. A talisman that originally sold for only ten or so incense divine crystals was now worth over a hundred, and people were fighting over them.

A windfall!

The senior disciples among the students were frantically taking on missions, and while doing so, they were also posting missions of their own, because the materials needed were far too many and they were far too busy, so they needed more people to help.

Qing Yuan was very happy today, because he had taken on an odd-jobs mission. Under normal circumstances, this kind of mission would earn at most around a hundred credits, but this time, it was worth a full seven hundred or more.

The only condition was that he had to go as part of a group.

Some talisman drawers, even after taking on missions, were still not satisfied. They decided to go to Moha Divine Prison and draw talismans on-site to sell on the spot.

More profitable!

And they could also cut out the academy as the middleman.

Qing Yuan deposited a storage ring at the academy’s storage facility, then boarded a star shuttle headed for Moha Divine Prison along with a group of outer academy students. With him were over twenty outer academy students, all of them brimming with excitement.

Because not only were the rewards for this mission generous, but they would also get to go to Moha Divine Prison and broaden their horizons.

Under normal circumstances, they would not even have the qualifications to go.

Everyone was filled with confidence about this campaign, after all, it was the four great divine palaces joining forces, and Moha Divine Prison had always been suppressed by the four great divine palaces before.

On top of that, so many people were participating this time. One could say this was a sure thing.

On the starship, Qing Yuan gazed at the vast star river in the distance, his eyes filled with excitement and longing.

Ever since joining the Academy of Gods, he had truly broadened his horizons. It turned out this world was so vast, so wondrous.

At that moment, a young man suddenly walked up beside Qing Yuan and smiled, “Brother Qing Yuan, how many star yuan divine crystals have you saved up?”

Qing Yuan was well known throughout the Academy of Gods for being frugal. While others spent over ten spirit crystals a month, he spent at most one.

Qing Yuan grinned, “Not many, not many……”

The young man laughed heartily, “Brother Qing Yuan, I heard you have a younger sister who is also at the academy. What’s her name?”

After Qing Zhi entered the academy, she had been secretly cultivated, mainly out of fear that the various divine palaces would come to poach her. Qing Yuan had never boasted about it to outsiders either. When people asked, he would only say his sister was very talented.

Qing Yuan gave an honest smile and said nothing.

The young man continued with a smile, “I heard you save money all for your sister’s sake. If you ask me, you still need to think about yourself. You won’t spend on food, you won’t spend on clothes, and you won’t even spend on cultivation. What’s the point of living like that?”

Qing Yuan shook his head, “My parents died early. My sister and I depended on each other from a young age. If it weren’t for my uselessness as an older brother, with my sister’s talent, she would definitely have already… already become as capable as Senior Sister……”

As he said this, he suddenly broke into a grin, “I need to save more money, because my sister will definitely need a lot and a lot of money for her cultivation in the future…….”

The young man looked at Qing Yuan and shook his head, “Like a fool……”

Just then, he seemed to notice something, and his pupils suddenly contracted. From within the star river, a ball of flame came streaking down like a meteor, crashing hard into the very starship they were on.

“Enemy attack!”

Boom!

With a thunderous explosion, the entire starship blew apart.
