But Yu Jue was relentless, challenging a deity every hundred years.
The Heavenly Court has no shortage of those who yearn for fame in a single battle. However, after Yu Jue's winning streak for many years, few deities are willing to accept his challenge. Firstly, losing would mean destroying their temples and no longer receiving offerings from the mortal world, resulting in the loss of countless merits. Secondly, it would damage their reputation, which would be too shameful if word got back to the believers.
If we send troops to annihilate Yu Jue, we may not be able to win. If we neither besiege nor fight, where will the majesty of the Heavenly Court be?
Therefore, the Heavenly Court came up with the method of drawing lots. No matter which deity Yu Jue challenges, he must draw lots in front of the Emperor. If he does not draw a lot, he can pay a certain amount of merit points to refuse the challenge. If he draws a lot, he must accept the challenge. If he refuses the challenge, he must pay several times the amount of merit points.
This was practically forcing good people into prostitution, and the gods couldn't help but shed tears.
then……
They all descended to the mortal realm to work diligently and accumulate merit. During that time, the human world became a holy land where gods competed for merit. People's requests were always answered, and grievances were always redressed. Every god could earn n "Dedication Blessings".
During the Qingming Festival, Taoist practices flourished. The gods accumulated a great deal of merit, and for many years no one fought with Yu Jue. Gradually, the gods relaxed their guard.
Until this year, Yu Jue challenged Emperor Ci, the Divine Lord.
Emperor Ci is the god of war. No one wants war, and for hundreds of years, thanks to the diligence of the gods, the human world has been peaceful and there has been no war. So why would he need offerings? Most importantly, Emperor Ci has long wanted to meet Yu Jue, since the two have never fought before.
On the platform of enlightenment, the battle continues.
The two fought fiercely, when suddenly, Yu Jue flew out of the Dao Proving Platform. Di Ci's eyes darkened slightly. Although he had tried his best to strike, he had not hit Yu Jue. Why was he fleeing? A moment later, he knew the answer. Continuous screams came from the sky, becoming clearer and clearer, and came straight towards Di Ci.
Di Ci scanned the area with his divine sense. What kind of ghost was this? Could it be Yu Jue's killing move?
He held his breath and threw a punch at the ghost that had fallen from the sky—Linghu Lan.
...
Linghu Lan fell through the gap, plummeting downwards completely out of control.
Be elegant, not yelling.
Be elegant and control your facial expressions.
Be elegant, be a cute little ghost.
However, it was all for naught. The feeling of freefall was unpleasant, and her soul was almost torn apart by the gale.
The only saving grace was that Tianxuan Huan had severed its connection with Yao Qingcheng and was no longer tightening its grip, allowing her to catch her breath a little.
As they were about to land, Linghu Lan was confident that she would not die as long as she landed safely.
What's with that fist that suddenly appeared?
She couldn't help but scream in terror, "Help! There's a Pegasus Meteor Fist here!"
...
Di Ci's eyes were resolute as he punched Linghu Lan, who was descending from the sky. However, the expected sound of the ghost exploding did not appear. Instead, a circle of light exploded, and Di Ci was the first to be hit. He was shocked by the intense divine light and coughed up a mouthful of blood. His vision went black, and he collapsed to the ground.
What kind of hidden weapon is that? That's amazing!
Linghu Lan felt a sudden lightness throughout her body as the Heavenly Ring that bound her was shattered. She was overjoyed, but then saddened as the Heavenly Ring sent her flying toward a man.
Bang!
It flew into a not-so-warm embrace.
Being a ghost is so hard, I'm so tired of it all!
However, before she could have any more romantic thoughts, she realized that her soul was slowly dissipating.
The counterforce of the Tianxuan Ring is too strong.
Linghu Lan's last thought before her soul dissipated:
She was about to break the record, but she finally went too far and ruined her own life.
Is it too late to latch onto the system now?
#The system that was suddenly remembered: Hehe, what do you think?#
