Although Liu Yunqing controlled the temple, which was equivalent to controlling everyone in Sun Valley, this was not absolute.
Believers can also betray.
She doesn't really trust people's hearts. If she had taken over with a stronger stance, the situation might have been better than it is now.
The clan chief, unaware that they were waiting for the god, did not trust them. Upon hearing the god say he needed to confirm the news, he immediately told Liu Yunqing everything he knew.
"The temple has existed for a long time, but I don't actually know much about the long history of the gods and the temple."
"I only know that the temple was built for the God Lord, not just in Sun Valley, but also in many other places like Sun Valley."
"The believers protected by the temple survive in the world with the power bestowed by the temple, all for the purpose of finding the God Lord as soon as possible. As for what to do after finding the God Lord, that is something only the God Lord knows."
Seeing that he was not getting to the point, Liu Yunqing added a sentence:
"Do the temples know about each other? Are they able to communicate with each other?"
The clan chief was taken aback, then shook his head and said:
"According to the clan's records, the temple exists in the world to preserve the last bit of divine power, and it is not to be known to each other... for fear of being wiped out in one fell swoop."
After the clan chief finished speaking, seeing Liu Yunqing frown, he thought for a moment and added:
"Although the temples in this world are scattered for safety reasons, if the God Lord finds the first temple, finding the second one will not be so difficult."
Liu Yunqing's expression relaxed slightly, but before she could think about it further, she saw the clan leader looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What's wrong?"
The clan chief hesitated for a moment, then cautiously said:
"Actually, whether or not we can contact other temples is no longer that important."
Before the clan chief could finish speaking, the unspoken meaning behind his words was immediately understood by Liu Yunqing the moment their eyes met.
"Does the clan leader mean that the only remaining temple in the world is the one in Sun Valley?"
"Aren't we supposed to be unable to contact each other? How do you know that?"
The clan chief sighed before explaining the whole story to Liu Yunqing.
It turns out that although the temples could not communicate with each other and did not know each other's exact locations, their protective power was the same.
When the temple was first built, its protective power was still very strong.
Over the long years, as the gods fell, the temple's protective power gradually weakened. Coupled with the greed of hostile forces and certain individuals, many temples were destroyed.
"Although I don't know how powerful the temple's power was at first, I can feel that the temple's power is gradually weakening, and our Sun Valley is the last one to do so."
Even this last place was targeted by people with ulterior motives long ago.
If it weren't for Liu Yunqing's appearance, this last temple would have disappeared from the world, becoming an opportunity for the witch doctor.
"Fortunately, the God Lord arrived and saved the last temple!"
After the clan chief finished speaking, he felt a pang of sadness for a long time, and finally bowed to Liu Yunqing with deep emotion.
Liu Yunqing watched the clan leader bow, but her mind wasn't on these formalities and pleasantries. Instead, she was organizing what she knew, one thing at a time.
Her life, whether it be opportunities and treasures or people and events, may seem chaotic, but upon closer examination, they are not unrelated.
The only connection that links everything together is, in a roundabout way, related to the Golden Crow God Clan.
Liu Yunqing's heart suddenly pounded wildly. She thought of a possible price she would have to pay for all that she had gained.
But she dared not think about it too much.
Because it was too big, too far, and too heavy, she dared not even think about it.
At least with her current cultivation level of a minor Golden Core cultivator, she dared not even think about it.
Liu Yunqing dared not think about it, but the clan leader, who suddenly had a backbone, was very outspoken.
"The God Lord doesn't need to worry. As long as one temple is preserved, there will be thousands upon thousands of temples."
Seeing Liu Yunqing looking over, the clan leader continued:
“The temple can be rebuilt, as long as the god can provide sufficient protection.”
With sufficient protection, there will be more believers, and with more believers, more temples can be built.
Then the topic circled back to the root cause—her cultivation level was insufficient.
The young lord, who had just managed to turn the tide and reclaim the temple, covered his embarrassed face with his hand.
"We'll talk about the temple later. I'll focus on my cultivation."
The clan chief was taken aback, then quickly waved his hand and said:
"That's not what I meant, please, Lord God..."
Liu Yunqing waved his hand, interrupting the clan leader's attempt to apologize, and stood up, saying:
"You should proceed according to the clan's development plan. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."
Liu Yunqing has already taken back the temple, so leaving Sun Valley will be a piece of cake for him.
She didn't have much interaction with her clansmen, so she didn't go down to say goodbye. After speaking with the clan chief, she left directly.
"She's gone."
Standing outside the clan chief's courtyard, Xiao Liu noticed the disappearance of that special aura and spoke with a sense of loss.
It's not a question, it's a certainty.
Xiao Jiu, who came with Xiao Liu, hadn't fully recovered from the shock of discovering that Zhenru was the God Lord. Hearing Xiao Liu's words, she didn't notice anything amiss and nodded perfunctorily:
"Yeah, I felt it too."
Just because Xiao Jiu can't see it doesn't mean the clan leader can't.
The next instant, the clan leader's voice came from the courtyard:
"Xiao Jiu, go back. Xiao Liu, come in. I have something to say."
After Xiao Jiu left, Xiao Liu pursed his lips and stepped into the clan leader's courtyard.
Kneel down!
Before Xiao Liu could even stand up straight, the clan leader's angry shout, filled with oppressive power, forced Xiao Liu to kneel on the ground, unable to resist.
Do you know your mistake?
Xiao Liu looked up and saw the clan leader's warning and angry expression. He felt a pang of fear, but still stubbornly shook his head and said:
"I don't know."
The clan chief choked upon hearing this, his gaze towards Xiao Liu becoming incredibly sharp, and in the next instant, his cane fell onto Xiao Liu's back.
"I'll wake you up, you wicked creature with such improper thoughts!"
"Smack—"
"Smack—"
"Smack—"
Three blows in a row, until Xiao Liu ran away with his head in his hands, begging for mercy, only then did the clan chief stop whipping him and ask again:
Are you clear-headed now?
Xiao Liu bit her lip and nodded gently after a long while.
Just as the clan leader was about to nod with satisfaction, Xiao Liu suddenly looked up, his eyes full of expectation, and asked:
Is it really... absolutely impossible?
The clan chief's eyes widened, his beard twitching with anger, but seeing the expectant yet determined look in Xiao Liu's eyes, his thoughts shifted, and after a moment's consideration, he softened his tone and said:
"There is no record of gods or servants in any books."
“Our divine lord is now nothing more than an infant in swaddling clothes, cradling a colossal treasure…”
As if encouraged by something, Xiao Liu raised his hand and swore an oath before the clan leader could finish speaking:
"I will definitely cultivate diligently to help the God Lord rebuild the temple and regain his divine position!"
After saying that, as if he had found his purpose in life, he turned and left.
But behind them, the clan leader's somber gaze and unspoken words went unnoticed.
"God is unattainable."
