Chapter 149 - 71: Divine Monarch 1
Chapter 149: Chapter 71: Divine Monarch 1
“Little… Little white deer?”
Everyone was staring blankly at Tian Character Five Box, the casual tone accompanied by a cough seeming to completely ignore everything that had happened before.
Facing the White Deer Mountain God’s coercion, the shouting of the crowd, and the overwhelming hatred and anger, it was all like a playful drama in his eyes.
“How dare he?”
“He actually did that!”
These thoughts emerged in the hearts of the repressed crowd. But when they looked at the White Deer Mountain God, their doubts and confusions completely vanished.
The anger and resentment they felt were completely forgotten at this moment.
The once arrogant White Deer Mountain God was now prostrating like a humble slave on the high platform, burying his head deep into the ground.
His tall and majestic body shivered constantly, and the deer antlers, which looked like lush tree branches, had lost their original glorious glow. The instinctive fear from deep within his soul was constantly shocking the mind of the White Deer Mountain God, even his control over Elemental Qi was completely lost.
He had no idea, nor could he understand why the voice in the room made him feel the same as when he was facing the Yunfu Mountain Lord.
“No! It’s even higher than the Yunfu Mountain Lord!
If the Yunfu Mountain Lord is a canonical god canonized by the Heavenly Court, then he is the Divine Monarch presiding over all deities!”
In this moment, the White Deer Mountain God realized just how far off their assumptions about the Yunfu Mountain Lord had been.
The implications of a contemporary Divine Monarch’s presence was something these minor gods of the mountains could not fathom, even the Yunfu Mountain Lord, who stood at the peak of Yunfu’s mountain range, was far from being a true Divine Monarch.
A Divine Monarch governs and rules over a system of gods. The so-called thirty-two Mountain Gods of Yunfu did not even have the qualifications to worship the Divine Monarch.
For such a great person to risk appearing in this incomplete heaven and earth, he would undoubtedly be unable to use his true power, otherwise, he would incur the backlash of heaven and earth.
Under such circumstances, using a consumable treasure to bring about the momentum of the Great Sun’s arrival would completely avoid the backlash of heaven and earth.
However, from the coughing voice coming from the box, even the use of consumable treasures has caused a certain extent of backlash, hence the weak state.
But even in his weakness, he was still a supreme Divine Monarch, and killing these minor gods of the wilderness would be a simple task.
Thinking that he had offended a venerable Divine Monarch due to slander and Yunfu Mountain Lord’s promises, the White Deer Mountain God’s body trembled even more violently.
The shocking change of situation appeared in front of everyone. Naturally, those who recovered from the great shock first were those who had seen big scenes from various major sects and families in the boxes.
Even so, the heads of these sects and families couldn’t help but tremble when they saw what was happening.
“Who on earth is he?”
“Why would the White Deer Mountain God suddenly kneel to him?”
“There was no mana fluctuation, what on earth happened?”
In the Tian character boxes on the third floor, people from Marquis Zhennan’s Residence, the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, and the Sunn family of Cang Province were all uncertain. They had no idea that someone so powerful was actually in Tian Character Five Box.
Messages were quickly sent out by them to the outside world. The entire intelligence network of the Southern Three States was mobilizied to investigate information about Tian Character Five Box.
Meanwhile, in the Heaven’s Pride Association box on the second floor, everyone heard that the casual voice was from Teacher Shen.
Just a few minutes before, they were still echoing Sunn Lanyu’s speech out of jealousy, slandering and condemning Shen Yuan.
However, within just a few minutes, everything completely turned around.
The powerful monster Mountain God didn’t even see Shen Yuan’s face; he knelt down humbly on the ground because of a single sentence.
Everyone was pale. They couldn’t comprehend or understand the sight in front of them.
Everyone started to turn their gazes on Wen Ya.
During the previous accusations against Shen Yuan, Wen Ya was one of the few people in the box who chose not to echo.
Moreover, she was close to Xue Mingzhi, and Xue Mingzhi was quite friendly with Teacher Shen, so perhaps she could help plead for them.
Wen Ya just gave the Heaven’s Pride in the box a sweep with disappointed eyes, no longer the gentle demeanor of her usual days.
“You pride yourselves on your status and talent, losing respect for others from the very beginning.”
“When the wealth displayed by others exceeded your expectations, it exacerbated your imbalance. The resentment and complaints in your hearts led you to echo Sunn Lanyu’s condemnation.”
Wen Ya’s cold gaze swept over, and numerous Heaven’s Prides lowered their heads, not daring to meet her gaze.
“But have you ever thought about the fact that the one forcing everyone to hand over Teacher Shen by threatening everyone by himself on the high platform is a monster?
Those who are not of our kind will have different hearts. Is the word of a Qi- training-stage monster really believable?
Teacher Shen being the killer is nothing but a guess by the monsters. For a guess, you’re willing to hand over Shen Yuan-
But what if after handing him over, the monsters claim that he is not the real killer and continue to demand people, then what will you do?”
As the vice president of the Heaven’s Pride Association, Li Han’s lips parted slightly, but he did not refute in the end.
“You want me to go beg Teacher Shen for you, but you’re really just judging others by your own standards.
From the very beginning, Teacher Shen never paid any attention to you, so why should he care about your condemnation?”
Just as Wen Ya had said, the boiling public resentment and argument instigated by the White Deer Mountain God were completely disregarded by Shen Yuan.
Even with Sunn Lanyu’s bluster, Shen Yuan paid no more attention to it than to needless flies buzzing by his ear.
His focus was now completely on the second divine skill of Earthly Destroyer: Gods Purging.
As soon as Shen Yuan saw Zhuming Chengye, he realized someone was trying to coax him out.
Zhuming Chengye was a lower order Elemental Qi of the Great Sun’s True Flames, which had the potential to reestablish the power of the Great Sun’s True Flames if collected with several other types of Elemental Qi.
If Shen Yuan was truly the one who had unleashed that sword strike, he would definitely be drawn to Zhuming Chengye.
The fact that Yen Xiao had previously warned Shen Yuan, and that Zhuming Chengye was being auctioned off by an unseen force under the guise of Mount Laojun, entirely confirmed Shen Yuan’s suspicions.
At this point, Shen Yuan was prepared to abandon the bidding for Zhuming Chengye.
Though Elemental Qi was valuable, it also tied him to unseen forces that even Mount Laojun had to be careful of. If Shen Yuan rashly revealed his identity, it would surely bring him a series of unnecessary hassles.
As Shen Yuan’s false primordial spirit had not yet recovered, making it difficult for him to use the Primordial Spirit Sword Control Method, caution was the best course of action.
Just after Shen Yuan made this decision, there was a sudden fluctuation of incense offering deities from the Tian Character One Box. Someone was using the power of the incense offerings to covertly communicate.
In the presence of Shen Yuan, who possessed the divine power source of the Incense Offering Divinity Path, he easily understood the Mountain God Seal in the Tian Character One Box, confirming the presence of a demon of the monster tribe within.
A few days ago, the presence of the monster tribe in Yunfu Street was not unusual.
However, after the battle between the Yunfu monsters and the Zhennan Army, the monster tribe seldom ventured into Yunfu Street, and during this auction, Shen Yuan had not seen a single monster tribe demon.
A Mountain God had appeared in the Tian Character One Box, without making a single bid. When combined with the unseen force which Mount Laojun was even wary of, as well as the auction of the Elemental Qi Zhuming Chengye,
All these hints combined immediately suggested to Shen Yuan that the Yunfu Monster Tribe may be orchestrating all of this from behind the scenes.
Shen Yuan directly used his Gods Purging divine power to expand his sense, immediately detecting the presence of twenty-eight Mountain Gods within a hundred miles of Yunfu Street.
This total mobilization of all surviving Mountain Gods from Yunfu mountains thoroughly confirmed Shen Yuan’s conjecture.
If it were any other Great Demon, or even a few Qi Training Stage demons, Shen Yuan would choose to hide his identity and not bid for Zhuming Chengye.
However, all those present were Mountain Gods from the Yunfu mountains, who were even lower in status than the canonical gods of the Heavenly Court.
In the face of Shen Yuan’s Gods Purging divine skill, these mountain deities barely have the qualification to even lift their heads and look straight at Shen Yuan.
With just a single sentence, he could easily suppress them through the Incense Fire Way.
Realizing this fact, Shen Yuan elected without hesitation to bid for Zhuming Chengye, provoking the White Deer Mountain God’s rebuke.
Looking at the Qi Training Stage Mountain God Demon that bowed and kneeled before him, Shen Yuan said calmly:
“Come in.”
It was a bland statement, but it felt like a Divine Edict falling from the heavens, and the White Deer Mountain God quickly rose from its kneeling position, walking on air to arrive before the Tian Character Five Box.
Its previously solid body seemed to turn illusory, as the White Deer Mountain God stepped over the window and into the box like a phantom.
The moment it stepped inside, it sensed a divine aura that sent its spirit soul trembling in fear.
In its perception, the human seated in front of the couch seemed like a majestic deity, before whom all incense offerings and prayers would bow.
It didn’t dare to look directly at the divine might, for fear that the divine light would pierce its eyes.
Kneeling humbly on the ground, the White Deer Mountain God said with a trembling voice:
“Greetings, Divine Monarch!”
” Ignorant was this White Deer Mountain Lord who resides under Yunfu’ s mountains of your arrival, I beg for your forgiveness!”
“Ding ding ding!”
The clear sound of bells echoed again in the box.
The White Deer Mountain God saw a little black and white cat with a silver bell hanging around its neck, curiously running towards it, its small head craning up and down to examine the deer.
The White Deer Mountain God tried to dismiss it unconsciously, but the moment its gaze met the cat’s large, two-colored pupils, it felt like it was bathed in deep, ocean-like wisdom and heritage.
Despite it being fleeting, the mirrored image in that instant filled the White Deer Mountain God with fear.
“Could it be her?”
Before the White Deer Mountain God could react, Shen Yuan beckoned to the mischievous cat, Bai Xue, and said:
“Bai Xue, come back.”
The little kitten, although curious, obediently ran back to Shen Yuan’s side.
The thoughts in the White Deer Mountain God’s mind swirled, and it bowed its head even lower.
At this moment, Shen Yuan’s words slowly echoed.
“Now, it’s time you hand over my Zhuming Chengye.”
