Chapter 30 Love-Brained God 30 Slaying Gods

He used to rely on his high level of cultivation and looked down on everyone. Now he has become the most lowly being, just like those he killed in the past, now like ants, at the mercy of others.

The demon has a long lifespan, and only endless darkness awaits him.

The deaths of the Demon Lord and the Dragon God did not cause any disturbance in the Heavenly and Demonic Realms. After all, the Heavenly and Demonic Realms were full of people obsessed with love, and with the two of them gone, no one else would think much of it.

Yuanheng, Jinxia, ​​Cangyu.

The three of them were the main culprits behind the original owner's tragedy, but they were not the only cause.

Before entering the Heavenly Realm, Qi Wang had some speculations about the gods of this world. After entering the Heavenly Realm, everything he experienced confirmed Qi Wang's guesses.

The six human realms that were absorbed and bound by the Heavenly and Demonic Realms were more like a livestock farm to them.

All humans in the Six Realms are merely consumables.

Qi Wang found a secluded spot and took out the jade pendant hanging from his waist.

He had previously sealed the Empress's senses of the outside world, but now Qi Wang has released her again.

The small world formed by the jade pendant had no concept of time or space. After the Empress's five senses were sealed, she was cut off from all contact with the outside world.

Immortals have long lifespans, and at first, the Heavenly Empress did not feel anything was amiss.

However, she was not one to endure loneliness. The place was deserted and the spiritual energy was extremely thin, so she could not cultivate and could only consciously endure the long hours.

At first she would plead softly, but when she found it was no use, she started cursing.

However, whether she cursed or begged, it was all in vain; the only response she received was endless silence.

How much time has passed?

A hundred years? A thousand years? Or ten thousand years?

The diva has never felt as desperate as she does now.

She once thought that the most painful thing was for her lover to betray her and fall in love with someone else; later, she thought that the most painful thing was for her son to be murdered.

But until now, being confined in this space without day or moon, spending a long and lonely time, is the most painful thing.

Spending too much time alone makes even love and hate seem to lose all meaning.

Without any magical powers, the Empress was extremely weak. Her mind was in complete disarray, with countless memories swirling around her, but she couldn't find anything useful.

Was her mother like that back then?

Imprisoned by that person and unable to contact the outside world, how did she endure that long, lonely time?

After an unknown amount of time, communication with the outside world was finally restored. The long period of loneliness had even made the diva forget how to communicate normally. She tried several times before she finally regained control of her voice.

What exactly do you want?

"Just tell me, and I'll give you everything I can."

Having been abandoned in the void for so long, all the pride of the Empress was shattered. She lowered herself and pleaded with Qi Wang, hoping that he would forgive her.

Qi Wang: "..."

So, does someone with a love-struck mind think that he captured her and killed her just to gain her love?

Qi Wang originally wanted to ask the Empress some questions, but given her current state, he probably wouldn't be able to get any useful information from her.

Qi Wang sighed and decisively stuffed the Empress back into the jade pendant.

Originally, Qi Wang wanted to take a shortcut, but he clearly underestimated the amazing thought process of someone in love.

Fortunately, he is in the heavenly realm, so he can personally seek out the truth he desires.

...

Every two hundred years, the Heavenly Realm recruits a group of female immortals from all corners of the world to enter the Heavenly Palace. This is a rare and grand event in all corners of the world.

After all, the Heavenly Realm does not restrict female immortals by age or cultivation level. As long as they meet the qualifications, they will be selected by the angels and ascend to heaven to become fairies in the Heavenly Palace.

Before you knew it, it was time for the once-every-two-hundred-years selection of female immortals. All those who met the requirements from all corners of the world went to the registration office.

Iris is an ordinary bird fairy with only a hundred years of cultivation. However, because her original form is a magpie, her human form after transformation is also very beautiful.

Iris naturally had to participate in the once-every-two-hundred-years selection of celestial maidens.

Accompanying her was a fox spirit, but of course, she was not a nine-tailed fox, but an ordinary red fox.

The fox clan is known for its beautiful women. Although they are not as stunningly beautiful as the nine-tailed fox of yesteryear after transforming into human form, they are still rare beauties.

Hongzhao held Iris's hand, her expression one of great excitement.

“Iris, I came here once two hundred years ago, but the competition was too fierce. I failed because I had only recently transformed and still had animal ears…”

Hong Zhao said that she had come here once two hundred years ago, but she was lucky that time. She accidentally revealed her fox ears during the selection, which is why she failed.

Iris comforted Hongzhao, smiling as she said, "Sister Hongzhao, I believe in you. You will definitely succeed this time."

Hong Zhao nodded repeatedly: "Of course, I've been preparing for over two hundred years, and I definitely won't fail this time."

Every time the selection registration point for female immortals is very lively, after all, if you can become a female immortal in a place like the Heavenly Palace, it is equivalent to stepping into the realm of immortals. As long as you are selected, becoming an immortal is just a matter of time.

There are many female immortals like Iris and Red Zhao. They are all minor fairies with low magical power and have no status in the four seas and eight wastelands.

Female immortals like them, who have no one to rely on, have to rely entirely on themselves to cultivate. However, because they lack status and background, the resources they can obtain are limited, and it is even more difficult for them to make progress in their cultivation.

Therefore, most female immortals choose to join a powerful clan to seek protection.

The selection of celestial goddesses is one of their few opportunities.

I've heard that female immortals selected to enter the Heavenly Realm will receive a lot of resources and support. As long as they work hard in the Heavenly Realm, they don't need to worry about anything else.

As time passed, it was soon Iris and Crimson's turn. The angel sitting in front of them merely glanced at the two of them and casually pointed to the side.

"Put your hands here and let me see what your talents are like."

The two obediently placed their hands on the transparent sphere.

Iris felt something prick her palm, and she instinctively tried to pull her hand back, but the angel just glanced at her. Iris shuddered and dared not move again.

The same applies to Hong Zhao's side.

She found it strange, after all, she had participated in the selection of female immortals two hundred years ago, but there was no such procedure that time. Why is it necessary to check talent this time?

After her palm was stabbed, she keenly sensed something cold seeping into her body through the wound.

After entering her body, the substance transformed into tiny ice crystals that traveled through her meridians and soon reached her inner chambers.

Hong Zhao's expression suddenly changed. Just as she was about to struggle, the thing disappeared. The strange feeling she had experienced earlier seemed to be just her hallucination.

The angel in charge of recruiting female immortals stood to the side, his expression unusually cold. Noticing that Hong Zhao's expression was off, the angel looked at her.

"If you have any objections, you can leave at any time. If you don't want to do it, there are plenty of people who do."

Hong Zhao's body trembled slightly, but she quickly composed herself and said with a smile.

"My lord, it was my fault for being ignorant. I am just an insignificant little fairy in the vast world. I have never seen such a grand scene before, so it is inevitable that I am a little nervous. I hope you will not take offense."

Her posture was humble enough that the angel merely glanced at her, snorted coldly, and let her go.

This is just the preliminary selection. The results will be announced the next day. The female immortals who pass the preliminary selection will go through a second round of selection. Only those who pass the second round of selection can officially become female immortals in the Heavenly Palace.

Two hundred years ago, Hong Zhao passed the preliminary selection, but she was eliminated in the second round.

After leaving the registration area, Hongzhao's fake smile disappeared. She looked worriedly at Iris, who was grinning foolishly, and couldn't help but say something.

"Iris, maybe we shouldn't participate in the Heavenly Palace selection."

Iris was taken aback by Hongzhao's words and looked at him with some surprise.

"Sister Hongzhao, why do you suddenly not want to participate in the selection?"

She clearly wanted to go to the Heavenly Palace. She had participated once before, two hundred years ago, and this was her second time participating in the selection. If she really didn't want to participate, she wouldn't have come here.

"Yes, Hongzhao, why did you suddenly change your mind?"

A gentle voice rang out, joining their conversation quite naturally.

Hongzhao and Iris instinctively turned their heads to look, and a delicate and beautiful face appeared in front of them.

A slight look of disbelief crossed their faces, but they quickly returned to normal.

"Sister Lan Qi."

Hong Zhao spoke, calling out to the other person, as memories related to Lan Qi surfaced in her mind.

She remembered that she, Iris, and Lan Qi were friends for many years. The three of them met a hundred years ago and decided to participate in the selection of celestial maidens at that time.

Lan Qi came to participate in the selection with them.

How could she have forgotten about this?

Hong Zhao rubbed her temples, her voice tinged with helplessness.

"Sister Lanqi, it's not that I don't want to participate, it's just that I feel this year's selection is a bit strange, unlike the one I participated in two hundred years ago."

Hongzhao told them what was wrong.

"Didn't you notice that something has entered the inner palace?"

For these fairies whose true forms are animals, their inner palace is where their golden core resides. If their golden core is taken away, they will be forced back to their original forms and will never be able to transform into humans again.

During the selection process, Hong Zhao clearly felt something enter her inner chambers, and at that moment, she had a strong feeling of being spied on.

Although that feeling came and went quickly, it all seemed like just her illusion.

But Hong Zhao instinctively felt that it wasn't just her imagination.

Upon hearing this, Iris looked bewildered. She glanced at Hong Zhao, then at Lan Qi, and said uncertainly.

"Is it because my magic power is too weak? I don't seem to feel anything."

However, Iris quickly remembered something and hurriedly said...

"But when I placed my hand on that round ritual object, I felt as if something was piercing my palm."

As she spoke, Iris stretched out her hand.

But her palms were smooth as jade, showing no signs of being pierced.

Hong Zhao also stretched out her hand, her palm showing no signs of injury.

The two looked at each other, then turned their attention to Lan Qi.

"Sister Lan Qi, is there an injury on your palm?"

Lan Qi stretched out her hand, and like them, there wasn't a single scratch on her palm.

"But I really feel something is wrong. The selection process wasn't like this two hundred years ago."

Lan Qi pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.

"Maybe the angel is fake, and this selection is an imposter..."

Before she could finish speaking, Iris and Hongzhao both denied it.

"Impossible. The Heavenly Palace selection cannot be faked. No one would dare to impersonate an angel."

What is the Heavenly Palace? The most powerful gods in the heavenly realm live in the Heavenly Palace, and the Heavenly Emperor and Empress also reside there.

No one in this world would dare to use the name of the Heavenly Palace to swindle and deceive.

Seeing the deep unease on Hong Zhao's face, Lan Qi comforted her.

"Since we're here, let's make the best of it. Perhaps this year's selection is a new method devised by the Heavenly Palace. After all, two hundred years have passed, and we can't use two hundred years' standards to judge the present. Don't you think so?"

With her reassurance, Hongzhao felt a little more at ease.

"Sister Lan Qi, you're right."
