Chapter 2627 The Mess in the Sky
He didn't even have time to reply to He Chunhua's request for a connection.
"Recently, the Imperial Dew has been erupting frequently again." Frequent eruptions of the Imperial Dew indicate that gods in the Heavenly Realm are often falling. He Chunhua couldn't even imagine how chaotic the Heavenly Realm had become.
According to the eldest son, that was probably his favorite look.
"The Lingxu Clan has revised the list of candidates for the Divine Descent Body."
He Chunhua immediately asked, "Is this a new batch of names?"
"No, it's still the same old thing. They just removed the fallen gods and added new ones," Narakuten said with a faint sarcasm. "They removed several hundred names."
"Why is that?" He Chunhua asked curiously. "Why is the Lingxu Clan so reluctant to announce the second batch of names?"
“Perhaps they want to stir up a bloodbath.” Naraku Tendou said, “For the past three years, the Heavenly Realm has been fighting endlessly for the quota of divine bodies, accumulating countless hatreds. The Lingxu Clan has also been slow to announce the second batch of names. Heh, perhaps there is no second batch of names at all.”
He Chunhua did not respond.
As the King of Shen, he also knew some inside stories that ordinary cultivators and rulers of small countries did not know. For example, the Holy Venerable Lingxu had a very good reputation in the Heavenly Realm. All the gods knew that he was a man of his word and always kept his promises. For another example, why did the Lingxu Clan stir up a bloodbath in the Heavenly Realm and why did they want to benefit the mortal world for nothing?
The answer still lies in the three words "Emperor's Dew".
Once gods descend to earth, in order to move freely, the "divine bodies" they possess also need abundant spiritual energy. This is almost identical to the conditions for immortals to enter the mortal world.
The current spiritual environment is sufficient for immortals to travel the world, but true immortals above that level are still like giant whales at the bottom of the ocean, complaining that the waters of the outer sea are not deep enough for them to float.
The same goes for the gods.
The human world is currently capable of supporting the complete descent of ordinary gods, but the true gods cannot move freely after landing.
Therefore, before the true large-scale divine descent begins, the Holy Venerable Lingxu actually hopes that the concentration of spiritual energy in the mortal realm will rise to another level. Since the spiritual energy levels in the mortal realm and the celestial realm are inversely related, in order to enrich the mortal realm, the only option is…
"That's why many gods in the heavens hate the Lingxu people to the bone. Using the list of those who descended to earth to stir up trouble is becoming less and less effective." The Lingxu Saint Venerable was scheming to take their lives, wanting to turn them into nourishment for his descent to the mortal realm, so these gods naturally became increasingly hostile towards the Lingxu gods.
What? You're saying they might be kept in the dark and unaware of Lingxu Saint Venerable's conspiracy?
Aren't there also the Naraku and Kshatriya gods? With their extensive propaganda, there are now very few gods who haven't heard of the Lingxu Clan's conspiracy theories, unless they are in seclusion.
"The effect is getting weaker and weaker?" He Chunhua asked in surprise, "But recently the Emperor's Essence has been erupting more frequently."
"That's because the Lingxu Clan, having failed with one plan, devised another," Naraku Tendou said. "They announced the list of the first batch of trial descents, which included one hundred celestial beings."
A hundred celestial beings descending to earth simultaneously? He Chunhua felt a chill run down his spine: "The same old trick?"
"No, Venerable Lingxu himself said that the time for the first trial surrender has been set, and it will be soon," Narakuten said solemnly. "Do you know what this list means?"
Before a large-scale divine intervention, some testing is indeed necessary.
He Chunhua swallowed hard: "Are some gods allowed to descend to the mortal realm first?"
“Exactly. These hundred celestial beings who descend to the mortal realm first can enjoy the benefits of human life without having to worry about conflicts in the heavens.” Naraku Tendou said, “Among these hundred celestial beings, there are not only those from the Lingxu Clan.”
He Chunhua blurted out, "There are also Kshatriyas?"
Narakuten did not answer.
His attitude is the best answer.
He Chunhua thought for a moment, then probed further: "Could it be... that you're involved?"
Narakuten did not respond immediately, and He Chunhua's heart skipped a beat.
Fortunately, after a few moments of silence, Narakuten said, "I am here, but I have already made a clarification in Kshatriya."
He Chunhua thought to himself how impressive it was. Lingxu Tianzun had only added Naraku's name to the priority list of the lower realms, yet it had already made him a target of suspicion from the other gods of Kshatriya.
Even if Narakuten makes a clarification, so what? Who knows if a high-ranking Kshatriya like him has made any dirty deals with Lingxu Saint Venerable? Over the years, how many gods have spoken so emphatically about rebelling against the Lingxu gods, only to turn around and join the opposing camp, betraying their comrades completely?
Moreover, what kind of person is Narakuten? He lies without batting an eye.
As righteous gods, Lingxu Saint Venerable is a man of his word, always keeping his promises. Therefore, the gods always believe what he says. Even though Lingxu has suffered setbacks and made mistakes in recent years when facing the human world, the gods still believe in him out of habit, based on his good reputation.
But when Naraku comes out and says, "I am not, I did not," given his past credibility, can the other gods really completely believe him?
"In short, the announcement of this list of those given priority to descend to the mortal realm caused another uproar in the celestial realm, because the Lingxu Clan added a note that if any of the gods on the list were unwilling to participate in the test, they could designate another god to participate on their behalf."
It turns out that the spots can be transferred, and there's a lot more to it than that.
There was a hint of sarcasm in Narakuten's voice: "Even I have received many messages from gods hoping that I will transfer my spot to them."
What does this mean?
First, they wanted priority to descend to the mortal realm and were willing to pay a high price to Narakuten; second, these gods simply did not believe that he had not made a deal with Lingxu!
“I’ve been very busy lately, so don’t offend Bega.” This was the reason why Narakuten took the initiative to contact He Chunhua today. “Whatever it is, we can talk about it after this period.”
He Chunhua understood. Narakutian meant that Lingxu Saint Venerable had gone on a killing spree in the Heavenly Realm, and that He and Kshatriya were exhausted from dealing with him and could no longer protect Shen Kingdom. He told Narakutian to be careful.
He could only reply, "Okay."
As the smoke cleared, Narakuten departed.
He Chunhua let out a soft breath, feeling somewhat emotional.
The celestial realm is now more chaotic than the mortal realm; whether this is a blessing or a curse for the beings of the mortal world is unknown. Remembering that a large part of this karma is connected to his eldest son, he muttered to himself:
"We also need to pass on Narakuten's words to Chuan'er."
He Lingchuan had shared some of his ambitions with him, and He Chunhua at the time only thought he was too audacious. But over the past few years, things have generally developed in the direction He Lingchuan hoped for.
He hoped that his eldest son was truly a lucky star, capable of weathering such a terrifying storm.
He Chunhua understood that Narakuten's deliberate detailed account of the Heavenly Realm wasn't necessarily meant for him alone. Perhaps he was merely using Narakuten to relay the information to the Nine Netherworlds.
