"A little bit of the clear and empty sky? Yu Ke?"

The Giant Mountain God seemed to be in a bit of interest. His huge eyes, which seemed like they were carved from rocks, were flowing with eternal underground magma, and the waves were surging along with his emotions.

"I've heard of your name."

A majestic voice echoed in the side hall, and a bat-shaped god immediately flew into the library in the side hall, picked up a scroll from the library, and read aloud.

"Yu Ke was originally a candidate for the Holy Son who had a certain level of Qingxu. Three years ago, he was defeated by Taoist Luo Yun during the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda trial. His clan's ancestor, True Lord Yu Changming, became greedy and personally participated in the trial, but was also killed by Taoist Luo Yun.

After this incident, the Yu family, which had a small reputation as the Dharma Transmission Hall, fell into decline. Yu Ke was dismissed from his position as the candidate for the Holy Son because he had brought disgrace upon the sect, and was exiled to the outer sect’s Law Enforcement Hall to become an idle elder.”

Yu Ke, who was shrouded in a black robe, remained calm and silent after hearing these words.

Such behavior surprised the Giant Mountain God.

In the eyes of Lord Juyue, since Yu Ke could become the candidate for the Holy Son, he must be a top genius of the contemporary era and will be expected to reach the realm of refining the void and merging with the Tao in the future.

But now the ancestor of the clan was killed, the family was in decline, and he himself had lost the support of the sect, and fell from the high and mighty position of candidate for saint to become an outer sect elder.

You should know that although the outer sect elders have the title of elders, their power is limited to the secular forces of the outer sect of Dongtian, and their status is not even as good as those potential disciples of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Such positions are basically arranged for true disciples who have no hope of breaking through.

Falling to this position means that Xiaoyou Qingxu Zhitian has completely given up on cultivating Ke.

Unless Yu Ke can be promoted to the Refining Void stage in the future without any help from the sect’s resources, this position will be over.

For a genius, this is more painful than killing him.

The calmness displayed by Yu Ke did not seem to be a disguise, which made the Giant Mountain God think of him more highly.

"What is a person with a little Qingxu Heaven doing in Donghuang Temple?"

"I want you to ask Lord Donghuang to kill someone."

As soon as the words fell, the whole side hall fell silent.

The mountains began to shake and the earth trembled at this moment, and a deafening laughter came from the mouth of the Giant Mountain God.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

In the side hall, the statues of gods embedded in the walls began to appear, and laughter that was either sharp and piercing, or hoarse and cold, or rough and bold echoed in the side hall.

A powerful aura emanated without reservation as the gods laughed wildly. A strong pressure fell directly into the hall. Yu Ke, dressed in a black robe, seemed to be carrying a mountain on his back, but his eyes were still calm as he stared at the Donghuang gods in front of him.

After a long time, the laughter of the Giant Mountain God slowly subsided, and then a cold snort sounded in the hall.

"For the sake of the farce you put on for me, go away!"

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of gods in the side hall looked at Yu Ke with contempt, with unspeakable absurdity in their eyes.

Yu Ke did not make any move, but looked at the Giant Mountain God seriously and said:

“I hope that Juyue Divine Lord will ask Donghuang Divine Lord to help!”

The smile on the face of the Giant Mountain God faded. His huge body, which was a thousand feet tall, leaned forward slightly, with a look of indifference in his eyes.

“Even if Yu Changming were here, he wouldn’t dare to make such a request to me.

Do you really think that I would not dare to kill you because of the little Qingxutian behind you?"

"Don't even mention that you are no longer a candidate for the Holy Son. Even if you are still the Holy Son, what does it matter?

If you dare to offend His Majesty, even if a true immortal from your sect comes to save you, he will not be able to save you."

"I don't want to kill anyone today. Get out of here before I change my mind!"

As he spoke, the eyes of the statues around him, which embodied the will of many gods from other pantheons, changed subtly when they looked at Yu Ke.

It seemed that if Yu Ke refused, he would be killed here with thunder.

Seeing this, Yu Ke simply reached into his arms and took out a golden scroll that exuded a Shinto aura.

The eyes of the Giant Mountain God suddenly focused, and he stretched out his five fingers and grabbed Yu Ke without hesitation. Yu Ke did not choose to resist, but threw the golden scroll to the Giant Mountain God.

The huge palm grasped the golden scroll in its hand, and saw that the scroll, which was originally of normal size, began to expand rapidly and turned into a huge golden pillar that was a hundred feet long.

Unfolding the golden scroll and gazing at the words flowing with divine charm on it, the Giant Mountain God was ecstatic.

"Yes! This is it!"

"Written by a celestial official from the Celestial Palace Department, this is a blank decree that can be used to confer the title of God!"

As soon as these words were spoken, dozens of gods in the side hall were shocked, and then looked at the Heavenly Edict in the hand of Lord Juyue, their eyes full of greed.

In the incense and fire Shinto system, the main god of incense can be conferred by the god or deity of a certain pantheon.

But if one wants to go one step further from the position of a true god in the pantheon, one must have an imperial decree from the Heavenly Court and be conferred the title of God by the Heavenly Official of the Immortal Palace.

There are innumerable gods of incense and worship in all realms. The left and right celestial officials of the Immortal Palace are close ministers of Emperor Donghua. Their status is so high that the gods of incense and worship in the lower realms cannot be seen by them, and they will never send down edicts from the heaven at will.

There are only a few gods who can make the leap from being a worshipped god to being a deity of supreme power.

This has resulted in an almost insurmountable chasm for the God of Incense to be promoted to a Godly Lord, the difficulty of which is comparable to that of a cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage ascending to the Hedao Stage.

The existing gods in the Xuanhuang Realm either have the support of a blessed land and have the foundation of the Taoist tradition in the upper realm, and can plead with the immortal officials in the immortal court. They are typical people who have connections in the upper realm.

As for the other vast majority of gods, most of them were born as gods and were conferred titles by the Heavenly Court before they became gods.

After that, he practiced diligently for thousands of years and was finally promoted from a god in heaven during the Shinto test.

This is the most conventional way to achieve deity status. In addition, there is another method that is the most difficult, which is to fill in the name of the god in the blank decree of heaven, and then use incense and sacrifice to complete the decree, and ascend to become a deity in one step.

The edicts of Heaven are hard to find in all realms. Finding a blank edict of Heaven is even a hundred times more difficult than going directly to the Heavenly Official to ask for the position of God. This blank edict almost only exists in legends.

The Giant Mountain God's mind was wandering, and his eyes swept across the gods present without leaving a trace.

There were many righteous gods present, and this blank decree from heaven could not be kept unless he was willing to kill all the righteous gods.

When he thought of this, a hint of murderous intent rose in the eyes of the Giant Mountain God, but it disappeared in an instant.

Many of the gods present belong to the Donghuang pantheon. Although they are under his command, they are actually still subordinate gods of the Donghuang God.

Killing so many worshipful gods will inevitably expose problems, and the only option left is to defect from the Donghuang pantheon.

He had already obtained the position of God. Although this blank edict from Heaven was precious, it was not something he had to obtain. There was no need to pay such a huge price for it.

Putting aside his thoughts, the Giant Mountain God looked at Yu Ke while holding the blank Heavenly Decree in his hand.

He originally thought that Yu Ke was just a genius who had fallen from a high position to the bottom of the valley. However, Yu Ke now took out a blank decree from heaven, which forced him to take the other party's words seriously.

After a moment's thought, Juyue Divine Lord said in a cold voice: "This blank Heavenly Court decree is indeed valuable. I will convey your request to His Majesty the Divine Lord."

"Tell me! Who do you want to kill?"

Yu Ke bowed respectfully, and his calm face finally revealed some emotional changes.

Hatred, fear, and confusion kept interweaving on his face, and his trembling lips slowly opened:

"I would like to ask Lord Donghuang to take action and kill Daozi Luoyun!"

There was no trace of surprise on the face of Lord Giant Mountain. Instead, he looked as if he had expected it.

Reaching out his hand and stroking the blank Heavenly Court decree, Juyue God said meaningfully:

"Seeing your calm look before, I thought you had really given up on taking revenge on that Luo Yun Daozi.

Now it seems that you are not willing to give up! "

Seeing that Yu Ke was unmoved, Juyue God suddenly changed the subject and said:

"But His Majesty the Divine Sovereign is in seclusion. A mere blank imperial edict from Heaven is not enough for His Majesty the Divine Sovereign to break through and attack Taoist Luo Yun. You should go back!"

Having said that, the Giant Mountain God had no intention of handing over the Blank Heavenly Court Edict. Instead, he took the initiative to put it into the storage space.

Inside the side hall, the blazing lights in the eyes of the main gods of incense gradually dimmed as the Blank Heavenly Court's decree was withdrawn.

Seeing this, Yu Ke asked in a low voice:

"Taoist Luo Yun appeared in Huayu County, killed the Huayu Mountain God who was in charge of Huayu County, and seized the time treasure that had drifted to Huayu County.

The Donghuang God System was provoked by Luo Yun Daozi, so don't they want to kill him to maintain the dignity of the God System?"

The Giant Mountain God chuckled, his voice full of disdain:

"Clumsy attempt to sow discord."

“If that Taoist Luo Yun was just a casual cultivator, my Donghuang God System would naturally not mind taking back the Time Treasure.

But don't forget, it was you, Xiao Youqingxu Zhitian, who first wanted to take revenge on Luo Yun Daozi, and it was you who chose to give up later.

Even Xiaoyou Qingxu Zhitian doesn't want to provoke the so-called Luoyun Sect, so why should my Donghuang God System offend the hidden veins of the Dao Sect for a mere incense god? "

There are many pantheons and blessed places within the territory of the Dayin Dynasty, but among so many powerful forces, the Donghuang pantheon is one of the few forces that can occupy an area.

In fact, the strength of the Donghuang Pantheon is not the best, but it has been able to develop to its current scale, so the Donghuang Pantheon naturally has its own way of survival.

As early as the beginning of the establishment of the pantheon, the Donghuang God promised the Human Emperor that the Donghuang pantheon would not take a single step out of the Donghuang domain.

For Dayin, destroying the Donghuang pantheon will only result in more and stronger pantheons to replace it. If the Donghuang God can keep his promise and allow it to develop in the Donghuang domain, it may not necessarily be a good thing.

At this point, the Donghuang pantheon entered a development period of thousands of years, and its influence was integrated into the entire Donghuang region, causing Dayin to have to be cautious.

But even so, the Donghuang God System still abided by its previous promise and did not expand its influence at all.

For a pantheon that can occupy a region, the most important thing is not the pantheon's majesty or revenge, but to know how to weigh the pros and cons.

Obviously, the benefits of killing Luo Yun Daozi are far less than the disadvantages.

Yu Ke said coldly: "The name of Luoyun Sect was only noticed from the Taoist scriptures, and it has not been confirmed.

What's more, even the hidden veins of Taoism need resources for cultivation and need to communicate with the outside world, and traces will inevitably be left in this process.

But it seemed as if the Luoyun Sect had never existed at all, and no evidence could be found to prove its existence.

Does the Great Mountain God really believe that the Luoyun Sect really exists?"

Yu Ke's words made Juyue God narrow his eyes slightly, but he did not open his mouth to refute.

Seeing this, Yu Ke continued:

“I have enough evidence to prove that the three years that Daozi Luo Yun disappeared is related to the strange phenomenon of the turbulent space-time.

The reason why the Ten Realms Soul Chasing Altar was unable to find his trace was most likely due to the influence of the turbulence of time and space."

The expression of the Giant Mountain God moved slightly, but he remained as steady as a mountain.

Finally, a hint of anxiety appeared on Yu Ke's face.

He hesitated, gritted his teeth and said:

"I have some information about Luoyun Daozi here, maybe it can help Juyue Divine Venerable."

As he spoke, Yu Ke looked around at the gods who were listening attentively.

The Giant Mountain God understood the other party's intention, and with a wave of his hand, he drove all the thoughts of the gods out of the side hall.

"Now you can speak."

Yu Ke walked towards the throne of the Giant Mountain God and said solemnly:

"What Daozi Luo Yun obtained from the turbulence of time and space is very likely related to the great Tiangang magical power of returning wind and fire!"

The eyes of the Giant Mountain God were wide open, and his huge body stood up from the throne, looking down at Yu Ke with oppression.

"Really?"

"I am willing to swear a great human oath. If I am false in any way, I will fall into the City of Wrongful Death and never be reincarnated for eternity!"

"good!"

The Giant Mountain God showed ecstasy on his face, and then the huge hand that covered the sky and the sun, carrying billions of pounds of force, suddenly fell towards Yu Ke.

Yu Ke's figure was completely crushed in an instant, and his soul was destroyed by the power of the Shinto.

After doing all this, the Giant Mountain God strode out of the side hall, and his angry voice resounded throughout the Donghuang Temple.

"Taoist Luo Yun dared to kill the God of Incense of the Donghuang God System. This is simply too much!"

The next moment, the huge body shrank and turned into a ray of light that rushed into the sky.

The huge side hall fell into silence, with Yu Ke's crushed dust floating in the air.

After a while, the dust particles suddenly gathered towards the place where Yu Ke died, as if time was going backwards, and the dust particles that were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye quickly combined into a body.

His soul also recovered under the reversal of time, and Yu Ke successfully returned from death.

“Is this what it feels like to die?”

Yu Ke was slightly stunned, and subconsciously looked down at his chest covered by the black robe. A black and gold token was embedded in his chest.

If Shen Yuan were here, he would certainly find that the material of this black and gold token is almost exactly the same as the Tianyuan Secret Order, except that what is engraved on the token is not a giant hand that destroys the Sky Pillar, but a fish swimming upstream.

In the center of the token, there were two huge Taoist characters written.

Dragon Gate!
