In an instant, golden light burst forth, divine majesty and overwhelming power.
A golden deity from the lake stood in the very center, holding a long golden mace in his right hand, exuding majesty and solemnity.
Below the city gate stood a series of figures: judges from the Yin-Yang Division, the Swift Report Division, the Inspectorate Division, General Gan Liu, General Fan Xie, General Niu Ma…
A complete City God Temple!
However, whether it was the city emperor or the other divine officials below, their faces were all indistinct, like phantoms.
Yang Cheng didn't act rashly because he didn't know how to take this inheritance. Should he take it directly or worship it?
The next moment, golden light spread out from the City God Temple, and everything froze instantly.
The lightning bolt in mid-air, about to strike Wang Yuan, Jiang Kai, and Sui Wenzhou, strangely froze in mid-air.
Although the city emperor couldn't see their faces clearly, his gaze remained fixed on Yang Cheng and Jiang Kai.
"Both of you are excellent choices in terms of aptitude and temperament. Are you willing to inherit my mantle, carry on the divine office of the City King, and remain in this city forever to suppress demons and ghosts?"
Yang Cheng and the others were stunned; none of them had expected this scene.
This City Emperor deity is actually the real City Emperor? And he even has a mind?
Yang Cheng looked at Old Cui and whispered, "What's going on?"
Old Master Cui was frozen in mid-air, unable to shake his head, so he could only say, "I don't know. In the past, the divine inheritances that everyone encountered were fragments, like the one you got, Brother Yang. They were attached to some kind of object, and the inheritance level was very low. You need to collect and accumulate them slowly to increase it."
If these clergy members come to life, wouldn't they become true gods? But if they have to stay here forever, wouldn't it be like being in a prison?
With the divine inheritance within their grasp, Jiang Kai and Yang Cheng both hesitated.
Choosing to inherit the divine office means staying here to suppress these demons, which is no different from being a prisoner. After all, there is only one city in this world.
Of course, to put it positively, one could say that one is a realm master, albeit a very minor one, and one who is not free.
Jiang Kai directly refused, saying, "I lost the challenge, so the City Emperor's inheritance is naturally out of my reach."
Yang Cheng stared at the illusory image of the city emperor for a long time, then suddenly said, "Mr. Zhong, why bother?"
As the city lord, you want to suppress the ghosts here, but haven't you noticed that the entire Evil Luo Ghost City is full of ghosts not only at night, but also during the day!
Hundred Alliance Book
You can use the power of the City King to suppress the ghosts of the night into the Ghost Market, but what can you use to suppress the ghosts in a person's heart?
Doctors can heal the body, but they cannot heal the heart.
The city god can suppress ghosts, but he cannot suppress people's hearts.
As Yang Cheng finished speaking, the city emperor suddenly sighed, and the face of the model disappeared, revealing that his appearance was exactly the same as Zhong Minzhi of the medical clinic!
Seeing this, Yang Cheng sighed inwardly, realizing that he seemed to have guessed correctly.
The inhabitants of this city are all filled with greed, anger, ignorance, and hatred. They pray to the gods every day for others to be ruined and for themselves to gain without effort. Which god would respond to such needs? Only the ghosts and evil spirits in the temples at night would!
Therefore, the ghosts and spirits in temples at night are actually nurtured by the greed and evil thoughts of the city's residents during the day.
Of all the people Yang Cheng came into contact with in the entire Evil Ghost City, there was only one person who had no evil intentions whatsoever, and that was Zhong Minzhi.
After clarifying the cause and effect, Yang Cheng had roughly guessed the origin and background of the Evil Luo Ghost City.
The residents of this city harbored too much evil, which, along with the gathering of yin energy, gave birth to all sorts of ghosts. These ghosts were suppressed by the city's emperor and are the ones found in the ghost market.
However, while the City God could suppress ghosts, he could not suppress people's hearts, leading to an ever-increasing number of ghosts. The ghosts were so numerous that they could no longer even accommodate a City God's temple, making the Evil Luo Ghost City a completely different world during the day and at night.
The city god lost its incense offerings, its power was diminished, and even its memorial tablet was broken.
Zhong Minzhi is the daytime incarnation of the City Emperor, who wanted to heal the entire Evil Luo Ghost City, but in the end, he couldn't even heal himself.
Yang Cheng looked at Zhong Minzhi, who was also the city emperor of this place, and sighed, saying, "Even if you study medicine, you can't save everyone. A city emperor can protect a city, but he can't protect people's hearts."
The people of this evil city no longer need a city king; what they need is an evil god who can satisfy their inner evil desires and greed. Your persistence is meaningless.
Even if we take over the throne of the city, we cannot stop all of this.
There's no point in trying to hold onto something that's destined to pass away.
A long sigh came from the city emperor's mouth, filled with sadness, confusion, but mostly bewilderment.
The next moment, the entire City God Temple began to shake and collapse, the golden light shattered, and the space around everyone returned to stillness, and lightning struck down instantly!
At the same time, Yang Cheng also saw several golden lights fly out from the City God Temple, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
