As these words were spoken,

the hearts of the gods present were certain.

The God of Divination, one of the twelve Prime Gods of the Ocean of Light.

The powers the God of Divination commanded were very special, that is, premonition and divination.

The God of Divination could merge with heaven and earth, observing the changes and evolution of all things in the world from a unique perspective.

In simple terms, as long as the God of Divination was willing to pay the price, he could know anything in the world.

However, to ask the God of Divination to take action also required a huge price. If it wasn’t for the fact that their demigod-level followers had suffered such severe losses,

this Upper-Rank God would not have sought out the God of Divination.

“The God of Divination told me that the results would be given out during this period,” said the Upper-Rank God seated at the head.

“Good,”

“Then we shall wait,”

“As for the price of asking the God of Divination to take action, we will also bear some of it,”

the gods said to each other after exchanging glances.

The Upper-Rank God seated at the head looked slightly better upon hearing this.

Time slowly passed.

Before long, several months had gone by.

The expression of the Upper-Rank God at the head suddenly changed.

Seeing this, the other True Gods turned their gaze towards him.

A moment later,

the complexion of that Upper-Rank God gradually returned to normal.

He then looked at the gods and slowly said, “The God of Divination has given the results.”

“As expected of the God of Divination,”

“That is the source of the aura we could not find no matter what!”

“Where exactly was the last place our demigod-level followers disappeared?”

The gods looked at the Upper-Rank God with anticipation.

“The God of Divination said, the last place where all the followers’ auras disappeared was in the Longshan Ling area of the Slan Empire on the Plateau of Myriad Nations…”

the Upper-Rank God stated directly.

“The Slan Empire, that’s the territory of the Main God of Rank.”

“Longshan Ling? I remember now, the lord of Longshan Ling is talented and gifted; the outside world has theorized that he might have received a divine favor…”

“Divine favor? I understand now, the prime culprit behind the abduction of our demigod-level followers is none other than the lord of Longshan Ling, which fits with our earlier speculation that all the followers were hidden in some ruined Divine Kingdom.”

“The lord of Longshan Ling, the Longshan Family Patriarch, a demigod under five hundred years old, truly deserves death for daring to secretly act against us.”

“If not for the God of Divination, we would still be in the dark to this moment. The Longshan Family Patriarch truly deserves death.”

The gods’ tone was indignant, but they did not act rashly.

After all, Longshan Ling was situated within the territory of the Rank Church, which was the church of the Main God of Rank.

Without clarity on whether the Main God of Rank was related to this matter and whether he was aware, as angry as the True Gods were, they had to remain sensible.

“Let’s go,”

“We ourselves shall descend with divine power incarnations and head to Longshan Ling to see if the great Main God of Rank will deal with this matter.”

“Indeed, the great Main God of Rank advocates for order, and the actions of that Longshan Family Patriarch are akin to creating chaos. I don’t believe the Main God of Rank is aware of this.”

The gods exchanged glances and immediately came to a decision.

The twelve Prime Gods of the Ocean of Light were lofty, and the Main God of Rank was no exception. With the stature of the Main God of Rank, how could he possibly care about those demigods of the mortal realm?

This matter was likely the doing of the Longshan Family Patriarch and had little to do with the Main God of Rank.

However, regardless, the people of the Longshan Family were within the territory of the Rank Church; even if they were in the right, they still had to give notice.

“I have had contact with the Pope of the Rank Church of the Slan Empire, let me inquire first if he knows of this matter.”

A True God spoke, immediately separating a wisp of divine power to make contact.

The Pope of any True God Church has an extremely special connection with the True God themselves, perhaps even as a direct descendant.

For a Main God Church like the Rank Church, its Pope is directly an attached spirit of the Main God of Rank’s will carrier.

Only in this way can they better control the entire church.

Attached spirits, though not free, are still divine beings. Residing in the Ocean of Light, it was perfectly normal for the gods present to have had contact with the other party.

“We leave now,”

“To Longshan Ling to demand an explanation.”

Countless True Gods within the great hall sent down divine power avatars within their respective churches, grandiosely moving towards Longshan Ling in the Slan Empire.

…

The Slan Empire.

The Rank Church.

The Pope suddenly opened his eyes.

“The Longshan Patriarch is the main culprit behind the abduction of numerous Demigod-level powerhouses from the Church in the past few centuries?”

“There are now a great number of avatars of divine power descended from True Gods, rushing this way?”

The Rank Pope’s brow was furrowed, his true form belonging to the spirits of the Ocean of Light, carrying out the commands of the Main God of Rank to manage the mortal churches.

The mission given to him by the Main God of Rank was not only to manage the churches but also to search for Demigods with enough potential to be guided to the Ocean of Light and become subordinate spirits to the Prime God.

Over the years, the one he had taken such a fancy to most was the chief of the Longshan Family.

The other party was young, with tremendous potential, and moreover, his lack of interest in the faith made the Rank Pope very inclined to win him over.

And in these years, the Rank Pope had also been making efforts in this direction.

“Nonsense!”

“For so many True Gods to descend avatars of their divine power without regard for face, isn’t that a farce?” The Rank Pope immediately rose and hastened towards Longshan Ling.

He also felt somewhat uneasy in his heart. If those True Gods dared to make such a big move, they must have decisive evidence. Should this matter blow up, it would definitely not bode well for Longshan Yuan.

The Main God of Rank valued order, and order included both rewards and punishments.

If Lin Yuan truly was the main culprit in the disappearance of many church Demigods over the past few centuries, and the Main God of Rank became aware, he would surely act according to the rules without any partiality.

Cold and impartial, these words described the Main God of Rank.

“We absolutely cannot let Longshan Yuan meet with that group of spirits.” The Rank Pope decided to protect Lin Yuan.

As long as the two sides had not met and confronted each other face to face, there was room for the situation to de-escalate, and then it would be easy to speak on behalf of the Prime God.

Whoosh.

In the blink of an eye, the Rank Pope arrived at Longshan Ling.

“I want to see the Longshan Patriarch.” The Rank Pope directly approached the entrance of the Longshan Great Hall.

“See the Patriarch?” Longshan Ling and a few others immediately stepped forward to greet him; they recognized the Rank Pope and knew his status and position, not daring to show the slightest neglect.

“Correct.”

“The Longshan Patriarch may be implicated in the disappearance of Demigods over these past few centuries, and now a great number of avatars of True Gods’ divine power are coming to accuse him.” The Rank Pope briefly explained.

“What?”

“Your Holiness, there must be some misunderstanding here.”

Longshan Ling and the others were trembling, avatars of divine power descended by hundreds of True Gods? Those were the avatars of the True Gods’ divine power that could level Longshan Ling with just a mere leak of their presence.

Longshan Ling and the others also quickly realized that the reason why those True Gods were willing to come and accuse in person was probably to give face to the Rank Church.

Otherwise, with the overbearing nature of the True Gods, they would simply have acted directly to obliterate Longshan Ling, no questions asked.

“What’s most important now is, before that group of True Gods arrives, we take the Longshan Patriarch to our church to hide for a bit.” The Rank Pope quickly said.

The True Gods dared to come to Longshan Ling to accuse,

but they would absolutely not dare accuse in front of the Rank Church.

That would be the dignity of the Main God of Rank.

“Yes.”

“Seek the church’s shelter.” Longshan Ling and the others also felt like they had found their backbone in an instant.

They immediately led the Rank Pope and others into the Longshan Great Hall and came to the entrance of the cultivation room.

“Patriarch, a major event has occurred.”

Longshan Ling immediately activated a method of contact, trying to reach Lin Yuan, who was in seclusion.

“Hmm?”

Inside the cultivation room, Lin Yuan opened his eyes silently.

Rustle.

Lin Yuan emerged, his expression serene.

“Patriarch…”

Longshan Ling quickly explained the situation.

“Patriarch, you need to rush to the church right now to take cover.” Longshan Ling said anxiously.

Even though she revered her Patriarch immensely, she did not believe Lin Yuan could survive in the face of avatars of divine power descended by hundreds of True Gods.

In the face of a life-and-death crisis for Longshan Family’s supporting pillar, how could Longshan Ling not be anxious? How could she not be flustered?

“Longshan Patriarch, as long as you hide in the church, I guarantee those spirits will not dare to come forcefully.” The Rank Pope also hastily said.

“Hide?”

Lin Yuan’s gaze was calm and distant as he stepped out of the Longshan Great Hall, looking towards the end of the sky’s expanse.

In the distance, a terrifying and majestic presence began to approach rapidly, as if a majestic heavenly might was descending. Find more chapters on My Virtual Library Empire

“I…”

Lin Yuan raised his right hand, his sleeves billowing, and with a gentle sweep forward, when he drew his hand back, hundreds of ‘Dao’ incarnations had mysteriously appeared in his palm.

“Use hiding?”
