Chapter 41 Asking the Wrong Crime
Chongming's desire to explain suddenly dropped. Although he didn't know why the God of Light focused on this, Chongming didn't want to get beaten.
He kept silent about the rumor and just followed Chong Li's words to explain:
"I don't know if it's because the gods are asleep, but the divine power in this world is insufficient. Although Jiang Yang is a new god, he has no divine power since his birth..."
Chongming told Chongli everything that had happened to them during this period, but deliberately ignored the details of Jiang Yang's live broadcast on the Internet.
After hearing this, Chongli stared at Chongming without saying a word, which made Chongming tremble.
After a while, Chong Li turned around, and his empty voice echoed from the corner: "What are those rumors on the Internet?"
Perhaps it was because the God of Light did not ask about the rumors first when he questioned him, so Chongming felt that the God of Light had just woken up and did not realize that the person who spread the rumors was Jiang Yang.
Chongming made up his mind that as long as the God of Light didn't delve into the matter, he would just say he didn't know.
Thinking about it, Chongming took action, raised his hand and scratched his head, pretending to know nothing.
"What rumors? Jiang Yang and I have been running back and forth for a living recently. We finally arrived at the Temple of Light and are closer to His Majesty. I haven't had time to pay attention to the news online."
Chongming asked foolishly, "I wonder what kind of rumors are spreading online that have even alarmed His Majesty who is still asleep."
Chongli turned around and looked at Chongming, who pretended to know nothing, and looked him up and down. Just when Chongming thought he was about to be exposed, he looked away again.
"Are you close to the new god?" Chong Li asked.
Chongming secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had passed this hurdle.
"After all, the New God and I have been through so much. Although we have only been together for a short time, we have similar personalities, so our friendship is naturally different."
Chong Li nodded without saying anything else. "I need to take care of some things during this period. It's not convenient to stay in the Temple of Light. I just happened to know you were here, so I came here."
"I just heard that you were living here incognito with the New God, so I thought I'd come visit you and observe my new colleague."
Chongming listened to these meaningful words and didn't know what Chongli was going to do for a moment, so he could only remain silent.
"Get up," Chongli said.
Chongli's figure was tall and long, completely covering Chongming's short body, reminding Chongming of a similar scene before. The background was different, but the position and lighting were the same.
But in Chongming's past memories, although he respected and feared the God of Light, he almost never kneeled before him.
Just as Chongming was about to think carefully about where he had seen this scene, he heard Chongli say:
"Ever since I woke up, I've been feeling dizzy and can't remember many things that happened before I fell asleep."
He turned to look at Chongming, "I always feel like there's something I haven't completed. Do you remember? Or was there anything unusual during the time before I fell asleep?"
Chongming was first shocked by Chongli's frankness, and then hurriedly recalled what happened during that period.
"Your Majesty didn't behave unusually during that time, he just stayed indoors most of the time..."
Chongming frowned, trying hard to find something unusual from those ordinary fragments to help his old master.
"That's right!" Chongming was suddenly startled, and there was a hint of joy in his words.
"Your Majesty once returned from an outing with other gods and suddenly announced that he would be in seclusion for a period of time. After that retreat, Your Majesty came out again and sent me to prepare for the new god."
"Although the birth of a new god is a significant event, these events are merely ordinary and nothing unusual. I just don't know why, but when His Majesty gave me the order, he specifically told me not to tell anyone, not even Mother Earth, with whom His Majesty has the closest ties."
"Later, His Majesty even brought a stone he had obtained from an unknown source and placed it in his bedroom. He looked at it again and again, and finally, reluctantly, placed the stone in the most precious and sturdy box in the palace, not allowing anyone to touch it..."
Chongming was speaking excitedly when he looked up and saw Chongli's face. He stammered again, "I didn't mean to peek. It's just that His Majesty was gone for a while and the stone was on the table. I was afraid someone would take it, so I moved it."
"Later, I watched His Majesty return to the temple. I was afraid that His Majesty would scold me for this, so I put the stone back before His Majesty arrived at the bedroom."
Chong Li seemed to have forgotten about this matter and asked, "Since you have touched the stone, you should have some impression of it..."
Chongming nodded quickly, as fast as a hungry chicken pecking at rice.
"Of course I have an impression of it. The stone looks pitch black and ordinary, but at night it emits a white light that is not glaring and can even be described as a very gentle light."
"The palm-sized stone is covered with dense fine lines. It's hard to tell what the painting is, but the pattern on the back looks like snake scales. They are neatly arranged and very beautiful."
"It's warm to the touch, but not as cold as ice. It doesn't get hot even if you hold it for a long time. It feels great."
Chongming didn't notice that as he spoke, a glimmer of understanding flashed in Chongli's eyes.
He had indeed forgotten about the stone, but as Chongming described it, Chongli gradually remembered the origin of the stone.
That is not an ordinary stone, but a sacred stone that symbolizes the true nature of each god.
It has been by the god's side since the god was born, and as the god's power grows, it will give birth to the most suitable magical weapon for the god.
No creature except the gods knew about the stone, and Chongming could not lie about something he had never heard of.
However, Chongli thought of the pattern on his magic stone, which was not snake scales...
It just so happens that the gods have no concerns in this world except for the divine stone, which they have had with them since birth, and they also treasure the divine stone. Unless they die, they will never entrust the divine stone to others.
After much thought, Chong Li concluded that the only option was the newly born god.
In other words, the magical stone belongs to Jiang Yang.
But why is Jiang Yang's natal divine stone in his hands?
What is the relationship between me and Jiang Yang...
Chongli thought of the story he had read on the Internet and the portrait he saw in the secret room of the Temple of Light.
I had forgotten that there was a portrait in the secret room of the Temple of Light, but the other party found it accurately. If there was no factual basis for this, the other party could not be so sure.
For a moment, Chongli couldn't tell whether the rumor was true or not...
