Chapter 896: Suspicious Point

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Damn that Jia Tiankuang for provoking this disaster.”

“Damn it, this woman definitely isn’t an initial stage ancient god. Furthermore, that girl who walks the path of close quarters combat seems to be very violent. Could it be that this Music Clan has abandoned the path of sound laws and has started walking the path of close quarters combat?”

“What’s the use of saying these things now? It would be better if we thought of a way to not end up like Di Fan.”

The three envoys looked at the completely empty hall while on guard against Li Yunmu coming from anywhere. The three of them felt endless regret in their heart and wondered why they had thought to provoke Ancient Goddess Liu Qing.

From the time they came, the four of them were secretly discussing how Lakshmi City was vulnerable and agreed to the competition for that reason. Otherwise, why would they agree to offering up their ancient god?

With the situation like that, the four of them were sure in their hearts that after the alliance, Lakshmi City would turn into a subordinate territory of the five ancient gods. Thus, from the time they came, the five envoys acted unbridled.

But what happened afterwards wasn’t according to conventional reasoning. They came to find trouble with Lakshmi City, but it backfired on them.

A blur came out from the shadow of a pillar and flew directly toward the trio.

The next instant, the depression created from the punch appeared on the bodies of the three envoys, and they lost consciousness after spitting out blood. Li Yunmu returned to his original place. He looked at the five envoys scattered in all directions and said helplessly while shaking his head, “Really boring. Even with such momentum, they couldn’t even land one hit.”

“So what should we do now?” Holy Daughter Hu Shi enquired.

“Return the five envoys to their houses to rest. They are tired. Continue other things as usual. The five ancient gods won’t find trouble with Lakshmi City before the competition ends,” Brunhilda said carelessly.

When she said that, Li Yunmu moved and pulled her to take her away. The next moment, only Holy Daughter Hu Shi remained in the hall. When her eyes came to rest on the five envoys lying on the ground, she felt extremely refreshed in her heart. After some time passed, a couple servants came from outside and left with the five envoys. Holy Daughter Hu Shi was following behind them.

Brunhilda returned to her palace with Li Yunmu. The moment they reached the front door, Li Yunmu by her side turned into a shadow and entered through the door. Once Brunhilda also went inside, she saw Li Yunmu lying on the main seat with a carefree attitude.

He glanced at Brunhilda and casually asked, “All settled?”

Brunhilda slowly walked next to the main seat and said with a slight smile while leaning on his shoulder, “Asking a question to which you already know the answer. You clearly saw what your shadow clone did.”

Li Yunmu didn’t reply. Jia Tiankuang’s words had caused his scalp to go numb. At that time, he was impersonating Liu Bailing, but seeing Jia Tiankuang’s passionate gaze, he was still affected. His first thought was to pretend that he hadn’t seen or heard anything, but he hadn’t expected that Brunhilda would see through his plans.

This one incident would make him the butt of all jokes for eternity.

“The next few days the five envoys should remain peaceful. They will be good until the competition which is in two days,” Li Yunmu said to shift the topic. “I will then steal Heavenly Grand Ritual and return to Asura City to start the battle of gods.

“At that time, you need to look after Lakshmi City and also the Ground Clan that I created. When the time comes, allow them to migrate to Lakshmi City. After all, Lakshmi City’s environment is pretty good, and it would make it more convenient for you to look after them.”

Brunhilda nodded and then asked, “Once the battle of gods starts, what do you intend to do?”

Li Yunmu wasn’t an idler. He stayed in Lanlou to start the battle of gods because he had a particular aim. When he came to Lanlou, he had rescued a group of mortals and imparted martial skills to them. His attempt to start the battle of gods in advance was also related to his aim. It was just that Li Yunmu had never told Brunhilda the reason.

“Do what… Something like power of belief cannot be allowed to exist in this world. All the infected gods need to be eliminated. If they aren’t removed, the world won’t change. You don’t need to worry though. Even if you are also a god, you haven’t relied on the power of belief to advance,”Li Yunmu said and turned around to embrace Brunhilda.

“Naturally, I’m not worried. However, the gods of Lanlou have all used the power of belief. Don’t you find it strange? True god created this world and is the father of all living creatures, but even if he disappeared, the gods of other areas didn’t dare to use it,” Brunhilda said slowly.

She then looked at Li Yunmu with her forehead creased. When Li Yunmu didn’t reply, she sighed and continued to speak.

“Unless you have someone backing you, you won’t be able to do so. Although True God created the world, he didn’t control everything happening in the world. All the matters were left to master gods to oversee. The master gods of other regions followed the command and didn’t touch the power of belief, but the master god of Lanlou still continued to use it before he disappeared.”

Yes, only Lanlou among the five regions of the Origin World used power of belief. The other four regions hadn’t even thought of touching it.

When the power of belief was just discovered, the gods of the five regions occupied their territories and developed their influence over the mortals to ensure a steady flow of power of belief.

Later, they began to occupy the territories of other gods to obtain even more power of belief. At that time, the first war of gods began.

It attracted the attention of the True God who moved to stop it and passed down the command prohibiting the use of power of belief.

Afterwards, when the True God disappeared, the master gods were sealed. If Lanlou used that opportunity of no one being present to disregard the prohibition and still continue to rely on power of belief, that could not be justified.

The ancient gods of the other four regions waited for the master gods’ return. If the master gods returned to see the ancient gods still using power of belief.

They would try to suppress it for sure, but the seven ancient gods of Lanlou weren’t afraid in the slightest. The backing which Brunhilda spoke of…

“You say that before the master god of Lanlou was sealed, he still continued relying on power of belief?” Li Yunmu asked with suspicion and a frown on his face.

Brunhilda nodded, then said, “I am not exactly sure what happened between True God and the five master gods, which resulted in them being sealed and disappearing, but what I know is that after the battle of gods ended and the True God passed down his command, the master god of Lanlou still kept on using the power of belief. The seven ancient gods underneath him were also the same.

“Moreover, True God knew it, but didn’t stop them.”

Multitudes of thoughts ran through Li Yunmu’s mind. The True God knew but didn’t stop them? Why exactly was that?

The True God had disappeared and become a system. But when Li Yunmu asked about what had happened in those days, the system didn’t agree to entrust the matter to him and instead kept saying that there was a potential enemy waiting for him.

When he learned about the hidden enemy, he thought that it could only be a power from outside the Origin World, but when he heard Brunhilda’s words, he wondered whether this enemy was hidden among them or if perhaps it was the master god of Lanlou.
