The scene fell silent for a moment.

All eyes once again fell on Lin Xuan.

The divine essence is of paramount importance; it is a supreme treasure that can reshape a god, so Chi Huo and the others naturally want to take it back.

In fact, Chi Huo and the others didn't care about Han Li's life or death at all; what they cared about was the face of their own faction and their divine status.

As long as a divine spark exists, a powerful expert at the Celestial Realm can be instantly molded into a god. Their previous actions were all preparation for this moment. All that talk about suppressing Lin Xuan, and so on…

These are all just tricks. Even a fool knows that with Lin Xuan's strength, they can't suppress him even if they wanted to, and they can't do it even if they join forces.

After all, if you can't beat Lin Xuan, you can still escape.

With his unpredictable spatial manipulation techniques, no one here could possibly stop Lin Xuan.

Chi Huo and the others' true goal was to obtain godhood.

Lin Xuan was as clear-headed as a mirror. In just a moment, he understood everything perfectly. He looked at Chi Huo and the others with a mocking expression and disdain in his eyes. He said, "The divine spark is my spoils of war. If you want to take it back, you can... but that will depend on what you offer in exchange."

"You bastard, this is Han Li's divine status, what right do you have to occupy it?"

Someone angrily shouted in displeasure.

"With this knife in my hand!"

Lin Xuan's brows furrowed, his killing intent blazing. He glanced at the person who had spoken, and a chilling killing intent swept over him like a torrent, directly suppressing the deity.

He's just a lower-level god, not much different from Han Li, yet he dares to shout here. Does he really think his blade isn't sharp enough?

boom……

A wave of overwhelming killing intent swept across the sky, instantly crushing the heavens and creating terrifying spatial ripples that caused everyone's expression to change.

The deity who had rebuked Lin Xuan changed his expression drastically, and his body erupted with dazzling divine light.

He desperately resisted Lin Xuan's terrifying killing intent. Cold sweat poured down his forehead like a fountain.

His eyes were filled with resentment and murderous intent.

He wished he could devour Lin Xuan alive and tear him to pieces.

Unfortunately, it was just wishful thinking on his part. Lin Xuan was far stronger than him. Not to mention him, even Chi Huo was no match for Lin Xuan. Wanting to take revenge on Lin Xuan was destined to be a pipe dream.

"Lin Xuan, don't go too far. The divine spark belongs to the War God Palace, not to any one person. You have no right to possess it."

"If you don't produce it, we'll take it to the elders."

Chi Huo gritted his teeth and growled.

Lin Xuan was taken aback. To be honest, he had never heard of such a rule. This was mainly because he had risen to power too quickly, and there were many secrets he was simply unaware of.

Immediately, Lin Xuan looked directly at Xu Changshan and the others.

"Ahem... Well, the War God Palace does have a rule that these divine sparks cannot be possessed privately and must be handed over to the War God Palace for unified disposal."

Xu Changshan coughed twice and chuckled, "Unless you refine it immediately."

Of course, even if it is handed over to the War God Palace, the result will be different if it is handed over through different channels or under different names.

"If Lin Xuan, you obtain godhood through a personal fortuitous encounter, and hand over the resources to the War God Palace in the name of that, the War God Palace will naturally not treat you unfairly..."

"Xu Changshan..."

Upon hearing this, Chi Huo was instantly enraged, his eyes widened, and he growled at Xu Changshan.

He understood perfectly well that Xu Changshan was setting them up.

If Lin Xuan were to hand over the divine spark under the guise of a personal fortuitous encounter, then Han Li's divine spark would become the public property of the War God Palace, and would have nothing to do with them.

It's still uncertain who will ultimately hold the divine title.

Most importantly, after Lin Xuan submitted his divine status, the War God Palace compensated him, a compensation that would tempt any god.

Xu Changshan glanced at Chi Huo, scoffed dismissively, and then smiled at Lin Xuan, saying, "Lin Xuan, you now have two choices: either fuse with the divine spark yourself, or hand it over..."

"Hehe, thank you for the reminder, senior."

Lin Xuan chuckled and said, "It's just a low-grade divine spark. At most, it would be worth more than an ordinary low-level god. I wouldn't even consider it."

"Then I'll trouble you, senior, to submit this to the War God Palace for me!"

With that, Lin Xuan flicked his hand and directly tossed Han Li's divine spark to Xu Changshan.

"Lin Xuan..."

Upon seeing this, Chi Huo and the others were instantly enraged, their teeth almost grinding to powder, and their eyes were filled with raging flames and killing intent as they looked at Lin Xuan.

This was an undisguised murderous intent.

Lin Xuan gave the divine spark to Xu Changshan, which meant they lost their last chance. After Xu Changshan handed over the divine spark, there was an over 80% chance that it would eventually fall into the hands of Xu Changshan's faction.

At that time, Xu Changshan will have a new deity added to his side.

However, they are missing Han Li. With one gain and one loss, the difference is huge, and it may even break the balance between the two factions.

All of this is because of Lin Xuan.

How could Chi Huo and the others not be furious, and how could they not want to kill Lin Xuan?

Lin Xuan, however, was unconvinced. He figured he didn't care about having too many lice; he already had a deep-seated grudge against Chi Huo and the others. Giving the divine spark to Xu Changshan would not only bring him compensation from the War God Palace but also increase the strength of Xu Changshan's side, thereby weakening and suppressing Chi Huo and other factions.

This is a win-win situation, so why not do it?

"Stop yelling. If you're not happy, stand up and fight. You can come at me one by one or all at once, I'll take it all."
