I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 88: The Death of a God
Sure, here is the translated text:
In the blink of an eye, it has been half a year since that great war.
As the first snowflake of winter fell, the entire Guifang Kingdom also entered a state of complete silence due to the arrival of the harsh winter.
However, the planned live sacrifice was never realized due to various reasons.
Moreover, what Li Boyang did not know was that the subsequent impact of his sword was far more serious than he had imagined.
"The Heaven-Howling Clan hasn’t responded to us in a long time..."
Still sitting on the throne, the Sovereign of Guifang Kingdom—Chongming said in a low, hoarse voice.
And beside Chongming, the High Priest of the Guifang Kingdom and the chief priest of the Heaven-Howling Clan remained silent.
In just a few short months, the once high-spirited High Priest had already aged beyond recognition.
"What do you mean by that!?"
A noble sitting to the right of Chongming immediately stood up, with an indescribable panic flashing in his eyes.
As the most active God among the Five Directions Gods and also the ancestor of the Guifang Kingdom—the Heaven-Howling Clan was known for rarely refusing the priests’ communication.
"The Sovereign means... perhaps the Heaven-Howling Clan is already dead."
Before Chongming could speak, the despondent High Priest took over the topic.
"Perhaps that sword of splitting mountains and ground completely killed a god."
It was a known truth among everyone present that gods are not immortal.
But the gods that had died before were enemies of the Guifang Kingdom, so they never thought the Five Directions Gods would also perish.
"Impossible! How could the Heaven-Howling Clan die!"
This time, it was not the nobles from the Heaven-Howling Clan but the followers of the Qingmu Clan who rose up.
Although the various factions within the Guifang Kingdom sometimes had disagreements, their attitude towards the gods was absolutely unified.
"Since that battle, the Heaven-Howling Clan has not responded to us again, this is an undeniable fact."
Chongming said in an unquestionable tone, slightly raising his eyelids.
"The Guirong Clan has already issued an oracle. From today onwards, we must not set foot in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range."
"It will be the forbidden area of our Guifang Kingdom. Does anyone have a different opinion?"
Since Chongming was pressing with the oracle, naturally none of the noble representatives present had any objections.
Or more precisely, the moment Chongming mentioned the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, everyone recalled the abyss that separated the two places.
"Our Swallowing Tide System has no objections..."
"We, the Guirong System, will certainly obey the oracle..."
"Our Qingmu System as well, will restrain our clansmen."
"We, the Tufang Clan, have no objections either, as we are not responsible for slave capture."
...
After the noble representatives of each major faction agreed, everyone once again focused their gaze on Chongming.
Because Chongming was precisely the representative of the Heaven-Howling Clan and was elected as the "Sovereign" by all factions together.
"In that case, let this meeting end here!"
Without minding everyone’s gaze, Chongming just said softly with a calm expression.
"Next, I need to meet with the High Priests to discuss the shortage of food and the spring plowing situation for next year..."
"So unless there are special circumstances, do not disturb me before spring arrives."
...........................
An hour later, inside the Sovereign’s palace.
After seeing off all the priests one by one, Chongming did not immediately return to the Inner Hall to rest.
"Priest Qingmu, do you have anything else to say?"
Gently lifting his head, Chongming looked somewhat surprised at the Priest of the Qingmu Clan, who returned to the main hall.
"Is it because of the shortage of herbs?"
"Rest assured, I have already sent people to purchase herbs in advance, enough to heal everyone’s injuries."
"I now need to focus more on the food issue..."
"The previous theft and the great war have almost exhausted our years of accumulated food reserves."
There was a clear sense of exhaustion in Chongming’s voice.
He was agonizing over where to find extra food to help Guifang Kingdom survive the winter.
"No, I didn’t stay for that reason."
Shaking his head slowly, the old priest of the Qingmu Clan simply looked at Chongming with a complex expression, speaking after a long pause.
"My disciple—Xuan Hui died in the catastrophe five months ago..."
"But his soul dissipated, and his body was so severely damaged that his original appearance could not be recognized. Do you know what happened?"
As he said this, the old priest’s eyes never left Chongming’s face.
"How could I know such a thing?"
Unconsciously turning his head, Chongming’s tone remained unchanged.
"I have many things to deal with..."
"If you came to me for such a trivial matter, I think it’s unnecessary."
"If you wish to train new disciples, I could help you select some promising candidates."
After a long silence, the old priest quietly turned and refused.
"There’s no need, I was just asking."
Until the old priest’s figure exited the main hall, Chongming did not speak again.
"What do you think he knows?"
A touch of crimson suddenly appeared in the main hall, transforming into a youthful figure.
This young man was none other than You Chong, who once incarnated as the Blood Demon.
Of course, now he was neither the Blood Demon nor You Chong, but a revenge seeker solely focused on avenging the gods.
"How much he knows is not important. What matters is that he hasn’t told anyone."
While speaking, Chongming’s appearance suddenly changed, taking on the appearance of Xuan Hui.
"Compared to the death of a True God..."
"The death of a mere priest candidate is hardly a significant matter."
"Only someone close to him would investigate the cause of my death."
After speaking, Xuan Hui suddenly stared at You Chong with an indisputable tone as a warning.
"Do not take any unnecessary actions, and especially do not target him."
"From now on, if even the slightest accident befalls him, I will hold you responsible."
After a slight pause, Xuan Hui’s serious expression indicated his seriousness.
"Believe me, even if you are favored by the Guirong Clan and have become its earthly incarnation, you definitely do not want to be my enemy."
With a sneering shrug, You Chong casually shrugged his shoulders.
"I certainly won’t be foolish enough to oppose you, after all, our goals align..."
"At least in the early stages, we are allies in the same camp, are we not?"
"I avenge my gods, you reform your religion, this is a firmer alliance of interests than any friendship."
Transforming once again into a blood shadow, You Chong left only one sentence in the main hall.
"Usurper, I look forward to the day you fulfill your promise!"
