Against the Gods

Faced with Yun Che's words and direct gaze, Nan Qianqiu's entire body's blood instantly solidified, and he subconsciously looked sideways at the Southern Drizzling God Emperor.

Faced with his refracted gaze, the Southern Dying God Emperor did not help him with words, instead frowning slightly.

Nan Qianqiu's heart was in awe, and he quickly condensed his spirit, and when he faced Yun Che again, his gaze was already quite calm and relaxed: "The Demon Lord's inquiry, Qianqiu will definitely know what to say."

"Very well." Yun Che's eyelids sank slightly, his voice faintly lowered by half a point: "Prince of Southern Drizzle, this Demon Lord happened to hear some time ago that you had purposely traveled with your father to the Eastern Divine Territory back then before inheriting the divine power of the Drizzling God."

"......?" The Nanming God Emperor's gaze faintly glanced at Thousand Leaf Shadow.

"This Demon Lord is asking, what was the purpose of your trip to the Eastern Divine Territory that time?" Yun Che's gaze had been faintly staring at him. Although it was a question, it didn't seem to give the other party a chance to refuse to answer.

The trip to the Eastern Domain before receiving the Drizzling God Inheritance, Nan Qianqiu would naturally not fade away. His complexion remained unchanged, his mind racing as he pondered Yun Che's purpose in asking about this matter.

But his brief silence caused Yun Che's gaze to change slightly, and his voice to fade a bit, "What? Is it hard to talk about?"

The eyes of the crowd gathered in secret, the great shock caused by the Ashen Dragon God incident still before their eyes. This question that Yun Che suddenly asked, must not be unusual.

Nan Qianqiu's gaze lifted slightly, but he smiled, "I, Nan Qianqiu, am the Prince of the Southern Ocean, so there is nothing that cannot be said, only those who are not qualified to listen. When the Demon Lord asks, Thousand Autumn will not hide it."

He turned his body slightly to face the crowd, and spoke in a calm voice: "After achieving the God King realm, Thousand Autumn was finally recognized by the divine power of the Drizzling God, and had the qualification to become a Drizzling God, and it was also from then on that Father had the intention to establish Thousand Autumn as a Crown Prince."

These things were naturally well known in the higher realms of the Southern God Realm.

"Before bearing the power of the Drizzling God, Thousand Autumn did make a trip to the Eastern Divine Domain with Father for two purposes."

"One, to visit the four God Emperors of the Eastern Divine Realm, and also to inform the future successor of my Southern Drizzling Divine Realm in advance."

"Secondly, to find a large number of wood spirit pearls that are fresh enough to purify vital and mystic energy, in order to reach a more perfect inheritance and fusion of the grizzly divine power."

When Nan Qianqiu finished saying this, Yun Che's mind was filled with Harvesting's soul throb that was so intense that it was almost out of control.

The fact that Nan Qianqiu said it so directly and bluntly was somewhat out of Yun Che's expectation. A smile rose slightly on his face, "Who is hunting for these Wood Spirit Pearls?"

"Of course, Qianqiu personally hunted it."

As soon as Yun Che's words fell, Nan Qianqiu already answered without any hesitation or hesitation, and her eyes were even less evasive, "If this matter still has to be faked by someone else's hand, then how can Qianqiu be worthy of Father's expectations."

Nan Qianqiu knew in his heart that Yun Che must have already known all about this matter when he suddenly asked about it. When he went to the Eastern Divine Realm with the NanMing God Emperor, the first kingdom he visited was the Brahma Emperor Divine Realm. With the ability of the Brahma Emperor Divine Realm, it was not surprising at all to know the details of his whereabouts back then.

Now that Thousand Leaf Shadow is on Yun Che's side, the Brahma Emperor God Emperor is also considered to have fallen into Yun Che's hands ...... Nan Qianqiu, after a brief period of thought, not only did she not conceal anything, but she responded incomparably straightforwardly.

Moreover, that trip to the Eastern Domain was nothing more than a very small matter to him.

The Nanming God Emperor had remained silent, his heart quite satisfied with Nan Qianqiu's performance in the face of Yun Che - after all, Yun Che, who had just tormented and killed the Ash Dragon God, was in no way inferior to any other God Emperor in the current world in terms of his oppressive power.

"Not a bad answer." Yun Che's appearance and words were hard to discern emotionally as he continued, "As far as this Demon Lord knows, you have gained quite a lot in one of the small astral realms close to the Zeus Heaven Realm, yes?"

With Thousand Leaf Shadow at her side, Nan Qianqiu was not surprised that Yun Che knew so much about it, and with a slight thought, she said, "What the Demon Lord knows is correct. Although Thousand Autumn has forgotten the name of that astral realm, it is indeed close to the Zeus Heaven Realm."

Yun Che: "......"

"Chiaki knew that there were very few wood spirits in existence, and thought that the trip to the Eastern Domain would be quite difficult. But seemingly by the grace of the heavens, she actually found nearly a thousand of her fellow wood spirits in a small astral realm, so naturally, she was quick to retrieve them, and in a few moments, she had acquired far more fresh wood spirit pearls than she needed."

"In addition," Nan Qianqiu continued, "the head two of those wood spirits were not only quite high in cultivation, but their scents were distinctly different from the other wood spirits, and when I asked my father about them, I learned that they were perhaps the royal wood spirits that should have been extinct. It's a pity that Thousand Autumn was too shallow to pay attention back then, and was perished by them exploding their own Wood Spirit Pearl."

Saying that, he faintly shook his head and said, "With the preciousness of the King Clan's Wood Spirit Pearl in the records, even at this moment, it's a pity to think about it."

Yun Che's heartstrings trembled ...... That was the trembling of the soul from Wo Ling.

A complete and total fit, a fit so complete that they couldn't even stuff even the slightest doubt into it.

That tragedy of the Wood Spirit Clan, that nightmare that made Wo Ling lose everything ...... The originator of everything was not the Brahma God Realm that they had initially identified, but in the distant Southern God Realm that they hadn't even touched the slightest hint of suspicion earlier!

Yun Che's mind spun, silently calming Wo Ling's emotions, his smile fading, and said to Nan Qianqiu, "Your answer is crisp. Could it be that you, the Prince of Southern Chien, never knew that hunting wood spirits was a taboo for all spirits?"

"If a mortal spirit hunts a wood spirit, it is indeed a crime spat upon by the world." Nan Qianqiu said, "But you and I, are we not mortal spirits?"

He looked at Yun Che, and said in a clear voice, "The Demon Lord returned from the Northern Divine Region with his might, and with a single order, the Eastern Divine Region was rained with blood, thus burying countless innocents, and what was achieved, was the Demon Lord's horrifying prestige, and now in this world, who doesn't know your name as the Demon Lord of the Northern Divine Region."

"And I, Nan Qianqiu, with the lives of hundreds of wood spirits in the area, have achieved an even more perfect Prince of Nanming, as well as an even more perfect God Emperor of Nanming in the future. Is the greater of these, the 'merit' or the 'crime'?"

"If it's 'merit', the death of those wood spirits is glory. If it's 'sin' ......" he looked at Yun Che, seemingly smiling, "The sin of a thousand years is a far cry compared to the Demon Lord."

Yun Che did not speak.

Nan Qianqiu's words made the crowd all moved.

From what they had heard and seen, Yun Che seemed to want to overpower Nan Qianqiu with the matter of hunting and killing the Wood Spirit. After all, once the matter of killing the Wood Spirit was made public, it would be a stain after all.

But Nan Qianqiu had no concealment to avoid it, and yet he did not retreat and lightly defused it, and he was still facing Yun Che who was causing a whole bunch of God Emperors to be in a state of panic!

The way they looked at Nan Qianqiu was suddenly very different.

"Hehe," the Nanming God Emperor gave a light laugh, "Thousand Autumn must not be rude, you are still young and tender now, how can you compare yourself to the Demon Lord."

Nan Qianqiu quickly saluted, "Father has taught you a lesson. Qianqiu misspoke, and I hope that the Demon Lord will bear with you."

Yun Che also revealed a meaningful faint smile, "Very good. Worthy of being the heir chosen by the NanMing God Emperor, this kind of lips and sharpness is really not bad."

"Fallacious praise from the Demon Lord." The Nanming God Emperor smiled, "If Qianqiu can have 10% of the Demon Lord's ability and elegance, I would be all too willing to abdicate my throne immediately."

Knock----

A long roar came from outside and the Northern Prison Drizzling King whispered, "Your Majesty, the hour has come."

"Good!" The Nanming God Emperor rose to his feet, "Raise the altar for my son, Thousand Autumn!"

His eyes blossomed with a strange mane and his face glowed red, as if the horrifying scene where the Ash Dragon God had just been buried hadn't affected him at all.

Rumble-.

In a burst of roaring sounds, a ten-mile wide golden tower with thick divine aura wrapped around it rose up into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it broke through the clouds and reached ten thousand feet.

Above the top of the tower, a group of golden mane to cover the sky, almost covered the entire southern ming royal city.

The major corners of the southern obscure royal city, and even the vast southern obscure divine realm, can be seen at a glance that broken tower shadow and dazzling golden mane. Numerous Nanming mystics knelt down and worshipped, looking up to witness this event that concerned the future of the Nanming divine Realm.

"Hahahaha!" Nanming God Emperor laughed, took the lead in striding out, and said in a loud voice: "The divine altar has been up, all the guests please follow this king with the divine altar, to see my Nanming event!"

"Heh, what a big row." Thousand Leaf Shadow's gaze withdrew, coldly, "I've heard that you NanMing only when the successive God Emperors are sealed, will only raise this NanMing divine tower, but today is the crown prince, NanMing God Emperor is not afraid of you this prince to bear?"

"Hehe, the previous crown prince's enthronement has indeed never had such a row." The Nanming God Emperor laughed, "But this king's son has no distinction that he cannot bear, hahahaha!"

These words not only released the arrogance as much as possible, but also showed that he was far more satisfied and valued the successor of Nan Qianqiu than it appeared on the surface.

"The Nanming Divine Pagoda?" Yun Che swept a glance up at the 10,000-storey tower with the altar at the top, not only was it surrounded by divine light, but the momentum was so vast and magnificent that it was indescribable.

"Noble guests, please!"

With a lift of his hand, the Nanming God Emperor had already floated up into the air first and went straight to the altar at the top of the tower. Nan Qianqiu and all the obscure kings and obscure gods followed closely behind.

The Heavenly Emperor, Xuanyuan Emperor, Violet Emperor looked at each other, also then rose up in the air.

What Thousand Leaf Shadow said was right, completely raise the NanMing divine Tower, only when the NanMing God Emperor's successive divine emperors were sealed, used to worship the heavens, to announce the world, never had a precedent of the crown prince's title also to raise the tower to sacrifice the heavens.

They were puzzled, but did not say much.

"Go!" Yun Che faintly spoke out and floated up into the air without slowing down.

Thousand Leaf Mist's ancient eyes swept over the tower, briefly silent, and sent a message to Yun Che, "Demon Lord, this tower's scent is slightly different from what the old man knows, or there is something strange, it is better to be cautious."

"...... "Yun Che, however, was unresponsive and turned a deaf ear.

The company has a history of over 10 years.

----

At the same time as the Nanming divine Realm was conducting its crown prince enthronement event, the Western Divine Realm Dragon God Realm was erupting with perhaps the strongest shaking ever.

In different regions of the Dragon God Realm, the eight Dragon Gods' souls shook violently at the same instant, and terrifying divine manes like stars bursting out of their eyes.

In the Nanming Royal City, countless people witnessed the tragic death of the Ash Dragon God, and this news that was destined to shock the world was also radiating to every corner of the vast divine Realm at an extremely fast pace.

----

Stepping to the top of the tower's divine altar, one's entire body was bathed in golden manes. These golden manes are derived from the purest of the obscure god's divine power, every trace of which contains the unimaginable magnificence and majesty of ordinary people.

Today, today, the southern obscure divine realm has countless people looking up to witness the birth of the future god emperor of the southern obscure, but can qualify to step into this tower top altar is limited to a few.

In the Southern Ocean, there were also only the God Emperor of the Southern Ocean and the King of the Southern Ocean, and even a host of God Lord Elders and Empyrean Sons and Daughters were ineligible.

"Qianqiu," said the God Emperor of the Southern Ocean, "Today's event is more than just a ceremony, and after today, your life is burdened with more than just my father's expectations."

"My child understands." Nan Qianqiu nodded his head, calm as the wind, without joy or sorrow, making it impossible not to sigh in his heart.

"Before the ceremony, go pay your respects to your ancestors. Fei Hong, Zheng Tian, you guard the sides."

"Yes." The Eastern Prison Drizzling King and the Northern Prison Drizzling King took orders.

Nan Qianqiu knelt in the center of the divine altar and offered silent sacrifices to the ancestors, while the Eastern Prison Drizzling King and the Northern Prison Drizzling King quietly guarded the rear, only, their eyes were shining with imperceptible aberrations.

Yun Che was standing at the edge of the altar, his pair of black eyes looking down, seemingly unconcerned about the ensuing ceremony.

"It must be wonderful over there in the Dragon God Realm right now." Thousand Leaf Shadow stood at Yun Che's side and said slowly, "I'm curious to know what you want to do next? Is it hard to ...... really just go head to head with the Dragon God Realm?"

"It's just the beginning." Yun Che spoke coldly, but did not reply directly.

"Leaning towards you personally, I'm not surprised by your actions. But if you lean towards reason, I would rather you listen more to what Ji Fluttershy has to say." Her voice trailing off, she narrowed her eyes and smiled, "But what's done is done, and it doesn't matter. The Northern Divine Realm is just a tool, and after spending so much time with Ji Fluttershy, I've somehow forgotten that."

Yun Che: "......"

"The divine altar looks down, and the entire southern sea is in the palm of your hand. How does the Demon Lord feel about this?"

The voice of the NanMing God Emperor was phantom, and then with a flash of golden shadow, the NanMing God Emperor had stood side by side with Yun Che, looking down at his feet.

Yun Che did not turn his eyes, and said in a cold voice, "Does the NanMing God Emperor have something to say?"

The Nanming God Emperor smiled and suddenly said, "In the eyes of the Demon Lord, how many categories are there for all spirits in this world?"

"Those who deserve to die, and those who don't." Yun Che replied, his voice so flat that it was inexplicably gloomy.

Thousand Leaf Shadow: "......"

"Such an answer is quite fitting for your Northern Domain Demon Lord's prestige." The Nanming God Emperor smiled and said, "Does that Demon Lord know how many categories of people there are in my king's eyes?"

"Heh," Yun Che laughed lowly, "There are only a handful of people in this world who can truly enter the eyes of your Nanming God Emperor, and these few people have to be divided into three or six or nine classes?"

"Four categories." The Nanming God Emperor said to himself, "The world says that although this King is a God Emperor, he is extravagant, wild and reckless, defies the world, and has no emperor's manners. Little did I know that how my king looks would vary from person to person."

"The first category, the weak ones who can be oppressed across the board. This type of people, similar in nominal level, but they would never dare to offend this king, even if they are bullied and abused by this king, as long as they are less than the final bottom line, they will silently endure. In front of them, this king can be arrogant and reckless, no need for any restraining taboos."

As his words fell, he swept a glance at the distant Three Emperors of the Southern Region with the corner of his eyes, and did not shy away from being aware by them of where his gaze was heading.

"The second category, traitors. This type of person has power and means that are no weaker than my king's, and their heart is even more unfathomable. In front of them, my king is scrupulous, but never needs to restrain himself, because the other party is extremely deep and puts profit before everything else, and will never easily turn the other cheek. However, at the same time, if it finds enough time, it will put this king to death without hesitation."

"Thousand Leaf Brahma?" Yun Che was indifferent.

"That's right. In this generation, he is the only one who is worthy of this word in my king's eyes." The Nanming God Emperor said, "Unfortunately, but he was easily planted in the hands of the Demon Lord."

"Even in front of these two types of people, this king never restrains his rage. But the other two categories have forced this king to swallow his voice and back down."

"One of them is the untouchable emperor. In front of the Dragon Emperor, this King can never be reckless." The Nanming Divine Emperor was quite direct, though.

"The second of which is madness." The corners of the Nanming God Emperor's lips were slightly curved, "A lunatic knows no fear, regardless of the consequences, and will go completely insane at the slightest touch, and will fight with it at all costs, even if it burns itself to the ground, splashing the other side with fishy blood."

"Therefore, no one wants to mess with a madman. And if you run into a powerful madman, then even my king will choose to calmly retreat."

A cold wind blew, causing the surrounding space to suddenly become cold and silent for a few minutes.

"The madman spoken of by the Nanming God Emperor is not this Demon Lord?" Yun Che asked faintly.

"No, you don't belong to any of these four categories." But the Nanming God Emperor shook his head as he slowly turned around and stared at Yun Che with a pair of eyes with a dark golden mane, "This king did previously think that you, the Northern Domain Demon Lord, were a madman, so you were willing to take three steps back relatively."

Yun Che's gaze also slowly turned and touched with the Nanming Divine Emperor, asking with interest, "If not a madman, then what should it be?"

The Nanming God Emperor's eyes narrowed, a seemingly peaceful faint smile on his lips as he slowly spoke, "It's a mad dog."

The conversation between Yun Che and the Southern Drizzling God Emperor wasn't very loud, but what characters were on the divine altar, and they heard every word clearly.

As soon as the word "mad dog" was uttered, the entire space above the divine altar seemed to be instantly sealed, and everyone from their eyes to their breathing to their blood flow all froze for a moment.

The Three God Emperors who were still looking in different directions turned around violently and looked towards where the Nanming God Emperor and Yun Che were, all of their faces curling with deep shock.

Yun Che wasn't angry at all, his face that was shrouded in a faint blackness barely even a hint of emotional turmoil had spread, and a smile was faintly added to the corner of his lips: "I wonder what the difference is between this madman and a mad dog?"

"Simple." The Nanming God Emperor smiled and replied, "Even if a madman is crazy, he still has at least a few moments of humanity and sanity left, and there are many ways to calm and pacify him."

"But if a mad dog wants to bite someone ......" the Nanming God Emperor shook his head, "Who can stop it?"

"So?"

"So," the Nanming God Emperor's eyes had narrowed into two slits, "A madman can be pacified, but a mad dog must be completely strangled by any means ......!"
