Chapter 1794 - 975: Conversation Between Divines (Part 2)
"Gushu, don’t be in such a hurry."
The voice of the Earth Mother Goddess Shangtiya softly resonated, like a mother’s love, yet hiding a different kind of resilience.
She did not care about Gushu’s deliberate neglect but directly said:
"We came here because there’s indeed something we’d like to discuss with you."
"You obstruct me just to discuss matters?"
Gushu said somewhat displeased.
"That’s only one aspect, but there’s a more important situation, which is why we must stop you."
Shangtiya said affirmatively:
"Whatever you have to say, say it here."
Gushu stared at Shangtiya.
Beside him, Silvius said nothing, seemingly constantly sizing up Lis, making Lis feel a bit unnatural.
Shangtiya nodded, and the hazy brilliance encompassed everyone present, isolating outside views.
The other divine entities watching them were surprised to find they could no longer see the situation inside.
Whether intentionally or not, Lis was also included within.
Then, Shangtiya’s voice slowly rang out:
"Thanks to Silvius, we found some clues about Correlon’s fall."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Gushu’s face lost all impatience, intensely staring at Shangtiya.
Being Correlon’s deathly rival, Gushu was naturally happy about Correlon’s fall.
But similarly, Gushu also knew Correlon’s power well.
At least with his current strength, he couldn’t kill Correlon, nor gain much advantage even in direct combat.
However, Correlon fell just like that, which was beyond Gushu’s imagination.
If he couldn’t figure out the true cause of Correlon’s fall, even he couldn’t remain at ease.
Who knows if the same thing would happen to him?
This was one reason why Gushu was so concerned about those two [Knowledge] Divine Positions now.
If Ruseke truly mastered the [Knowledge] Divine Position and further strengthened, he would be more confident in facing similar situations.
And now, he suddenly hears that Silvius found the reason for Correlon’s fall.
This concerns his safety, so Gushu couldn’t help but care.
He was like Correlon, if he fell, the impact on his race would be unprecedentedly immense.
Shangtiya glanced at Silvius, who showed no intent to speak voluntarily, feeling somewhat helpless.
This matter was discovered by Silvius, so it was better for him to speak.
But clearly, Silvius didn’t like Gushu.
After all, although Silvius never intervened in conflicts between other divine entities, if anyone disrupted the natural balance of the Gaia World greatly, he would intervene to shock them.
Among these divine entities, it was mainly the gods of the Beastman God System.
Unfortunately, if not for the Beastman Race and Beastman God System living in the Gaia World, enthusiastically indulging in war, violence, and slaughter, they might share more common ground with Abyss Demons.
Hence, Silvius didn’t quite favor the Beastman Race, leading to his disregard for Gushu.
Nevertheless, Shangtiya came here hoping to achieve cooperation, naturally urging Gushu actively.
"Silvius confirms that Correlon’s fall was influenced by the Endless Abyss Will’s power, with him and his Divine Country falling into the Endless Abyss together."
"And the Endless Abyss didn’t let him become Fallen but directly devoured him."
"How did Demogorgon accomplish this?"
Gushu asked directly.
At that time, they were all involved in the assault on the Endless Abyss’s [Deep Pit Demon Net] plane, and the situation was roughly clear.
Precisely because of this, they knew Correlon’s True Body didn’t go there.
If the Endless Abyss Will could indeed achieve this, then in the future, no Powerful Divine Power would dare to enter the Endless Abyss."
"Because of Shirek..."
Shangtiya paused briefly before speaking directly.
"Because of that despicable guy?"
Gushu’s expression became somewhat gloomy but he still spoke directly:
"Although I don’t like that sinister and vile guy, he shouldn’t be capable of such feats."
"According to Silvius’s findings, Shirek seems to have made an agreement with Demogorgon long ago, aiming to scheme against Correlon."
"Demogorgon needed Correlon’s fall to prepare for invading Gaia World."
"And Shirek was aiming to hunt Correlon for his own ascension."
"Previously, during the conflict between Demogorgon and Correlon, Shirek seemingly already intervened, secretly leaving the Endless Abyss Will’s power in Correlon’s body, subtly influencing his mind."
"Although I don’t know the specific circumstances, they successfully achieved their goal."
Upon hearing Shangtiya, Gushu’s expression fluctuated.
To know, Correlon wasn’t a weak divine entity, being also of Powerful Divine Power, although Shirek’s strength wasn’t quite like his, but he was scheming and sinister, almost never engaging him in direct combat.
Once achieving his goal, Shirek didn’t care about the means.
Now, having successfully hunted Correlon, a powerful divine power, Shirek surely gained more benefits from [Conspiracy], [Hunting], [Lie], and other Divine Positions."
Who now would know Shirek’s strength?
More importantly, he once fought separately against both Demogorgon and Shirek.
Though aware Demogorgon was unlikely to simultaneously scheme against two powerful divine powers, who could be certain?
Even the formidable divine Correlon didn’t notice the anomaly in himself, who could guarantee Gushu wouldn’t make the same mistake.
Noticing Gushu’s hesitation, Shangtiya continued to say:
"Gushu, the situation is unclear now, the Endless Abyss is about to invade, Demogorgon and Shirek have already teamed up."
"None of us know if they have other plans."
"Correlon’s fall is already a heavy blow to us; if another one falls, we’ll be in considerable disadvantage."
"So, I hope you can refrain from acting yet, wait until we’re certain that Shirek and Demogorgon have no other conspiracy."
Upon hearing this, Gushu also knew this was the best approach.
Even though many Beastmen and divine entities lean towards chaotic evil, Beastmen can’t survive in such environments as the Endless Abyss.
This is why many races in Gaia World would counter the Abyss Invasion determinedly, regardless of the cost.
If the Endless Abyss truly devoured the Gaia Main World, what awaits them is only Destruction."
"Let him hand over Azus, then I won’t attack him in the future."
Gushu looked at Lis, still somewhat unwilling.
Upon hearing Gushu, Silvius slowly looked at him.
At the same time, Shangtiya shook her head slightly, saying:
"At this time, we need everyone’s strength."
"What if you continue attacking and are caught off guard by Demogorgon and them?"
"Now we’ll head to the Temple of the Gods, there’s still some matters needing you."
"Humph!"
Gushu glanced at Lis, his expression gloomy, tearing the space in front of him returning to his Divine Country.
The Earth Mother Goddess Shangtiya, seeing this, smiled slightly at Lis and then also left.
Only [Father of Oak] Silvius remained behind.
Lis, listening to the conversations of the big shots, was somewhat amazed.
He didn’t expect [Prince of Lies] Shirek had indeed intervened, and apparently, the plan had been long in the making.
Even Correlon didn’t realize something had gone wrong with himself.
For gods of powerful divine power, this was simply unimaginable.
No wonder Gushu valued this, not even having the thought to dwell on the matter of Azus.
After all, Divine Positions are important, but the immediate danger comes first.
A slip-up, and Gushu himself could face the risk of falling.
Lis also cleared up many past confusions.
But now, he faced Silvius, somewhat at a loss.
Isn’t it, Mister, why do you keep staring at me?
Can’t you just say what’s on your mind?
