"Where did you get this idea?"
"Do you know that your idea is very dangerous?"
As Xuan Hui’s only friend in the Guifang Kingdom, Er Tu genuinely feared for him.
Once such rebellious thoughts spread.
Xuan Hui would undoubtedly beco a thorn in the Five Directions Gods’ side, to be eradicated swiftly.
"I was feeling lost a few days ago, so I went to seek out clues and traces left by the previous High Priest."
With deep eyes gazing at the distant Priest Celestial Terrace, Xuan Hui murmured unchanged.
"Ghost Owl was the most outstanding presence among the previous High Priests of Guifang Kingdom..."
"He even managed to gain the simultaneous recognition of the other four Gods besides the one you serve..."
"But his defection was shrouded in mystery, and to this day, no one knows the true reason for his defection."
As Xuan Hui spoke, he reached into his arms and pulled out a clearly repaired book.
"I found this at his old site, a book that was supposed to be destroyed."
"Perhaps it was carelessness, or maybe the seekers felt reluctant to destroy it at the ti..."
"Anyway, the book ended up in my hands, allowing to see the essence of the Five Directions Gods."
Upon hearing this, Er Tu imdiately looked at the book.
Unfortunately, being illiterate like Xiluo, Er Tu couldn’t read either.
"What does this book record?"
Fortunately, Er Tu never hides his curiosity, directly asking bluntly.
"This book records a nation nad ’Great Xia,’ a Central Province country a thousand miles from the Guifang Kingdom."
"In that Central Province country, the Sovereign is the supre being."
"Priests, even Gods must obey the Sovereign’s commands."
"When the Sovereign is displeased, he commands priests to recite his accomplishnts day and night, rather than spreading the faith and majesty of Gods."
"The book also says that Gods were originally just our ancestors..."
"Or rather, we are the descendants of Gods, not lambs tad by them."
After a slight pause, Xuan Hui continued in a haunting tone.
"The book I have now isn’t complete; much of the latter part was destroyed."
"I suspect it recorded the ’thod of Becoming a God,’ the actual reason behind Ghost Owl’s mysterious defection."
"He wanted to beco a God from a mortal, to beco one of the new Five Directions Gods..."
"For this, Ghost Owl didn’t hesitate to risk being rejected by the Five Directions Gods and forcefully took the Prison Soul Tripod."
As Xuan Hui finally finished speaking, Er Tu still couldn’t recover.
Because the magnitude and the revelation of what Xuan Hui said completely exceeded Er Tu’s brain capacity to comprehend.
"So... why are you telling this?"
Struggling to speak, Er Tu could only look at Xuan Hui in bewildernt.
"Because I need the help of the ’Red-haired Ghost,’ and you all can help ."
Unabashedly revealing his intentions, Xuan Hui turned around solemnly, as if Er Tu wasn’t his current conversation partner.
"Since the Heaven-Howling Clan returned, an oracle proclaid a ’Red-haired Ghost’ was born in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, and we must defeat it with all our might."
"As long as we succeed, the Five Directions Gods might overlook our sin of losing the Prison Soul Tripod."
"That’s the reason the Sovereign and others have beco so frenzied."
"I don’t know why the Five Directions Gods value the Red-haired Ghost, but I know this is my chance."
Xuan Hui’s voice grew wild, his smile beca increasingly wanton...
At this mont, through Er Tu, Xuan Hui seed to see the Red-haired Ghost burning with flas.
"I can reveal the location of Spring God·Nvman’s Divine Soul..."
"And what you need to do is simple: help destroy this increasingly insane sacrificial ritual!"
.................................................................
The location of Nvman’s Divine Soul isn’t actually a secret.
At least not to the priests of Guifang Kingdom; a God’s soul—even if imprisoned—can only be enshrined at the Divine Temple’s altar.
The Divine Temple altar is located at the rear of the Sacrificial Celestial Terrace.
It’s the Guifang Kingdom’s original Ancestral Temple, also a Sacrificial Hall enshrining countless heroic ancestors of the Guifang tribe.
It’s because of those ancestors’ sacrifices.
The Guifang Kingdom grew from a small tribe to the dominant Fang Kingdom.
The Five Directions Gods are enshrined in the principal position of this Ancestral Temple Sacrificial Hall.
"I can only take you this far; I currently have no qualification to enter the Ancestral Temple Sacrificial Hall."
Standing at the Ancestral Temple Sacrificial Hall’s door, Xuan Hui said softly.
And on Xuan Hui’s shoulder, Er Tu, having turned himself into a Sleep Bug, nodded without making further demands.
After all, Xuan Hui had already diverted many guards along the way for him.
Otherwise, even with prior knowledge of Nvman’s Divine Soul’s location, Er Tu couldn’t easily sneak in.
"Then I wish you all the best in advance."
Like most candidate priests.
Xuan Hui rely gazed from afar at the Five Directions Gods in the Ancestral Temple Sacrificial Hall before directly turning away.
Seeing this, those nearby guards rely exchanged smiles, paying no mind.
Not to ntion candidate priests like Xuan Hui.
Even true priests often co to the Ancestral Temple Sacrificial Hall to admire the ancestors, which the guards have long grown accustod to.
This is the ancestral land of the Guifang Kingdom, and since its establishnt, no outsider has ever intruded.
Bzz bzz bzz...
Quietly flying into the Ancestral Temple Sacrificial Hall, Er Tu disturbed no one throughout.
However, upon entering its interior, Er Tu realized its vastness.
Over a thousand tablets were placed at the center of the Ancestral Temple Sacrificial Hall.
And beneath the tablets were ticulously preserved skulls.
It’s a custom the Guifang Kingdom retained since the tribal era.
They believe skulls are the dwelling places of ancestral souls, necessary to enshrine alongside nas and deeds.
It’s no exaggeration to say, even casually piled together, a thousand skulls would form a towering heap.
Let alone being placed orderly beneath the tablets as now.
Just a simple glance showed the skulls occupied one-third of the hall, several hundred square ters.
Looking past the tablets and skulls to both sides, Er Tu saw representations of forces, countries, and Gods once defeated by the Guifang Kingdom.
