Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 1186 - 533 Four Venerable Kings_2

"He already knows of your sincerity, no need to place any more offerings on the altar!"

Watching the treasure shine brilliantly, its noble aura swirling around, the statue of the Destruction Venerable King struggled to open the Stone Treasure Umbrella he held, its movements both sluggish and stiff.

As the umbrella opened, it immediately shielded most of the gleaming treasure aura, and the three statues of the Venerable Kings next to it, previously golden from the radiance, now reverted to their dull stone appearance.

The Destruction Venerable King breathed a sigh of relief and then continued, "Just stay here, don’t go anywhere!"

"Soon, when He finds a moment, He will descend..."

Mid-sentence, as if the power from the Incense Fire Evil Thoughts wasn’t sufficient to sustain him, his speech abruptly ceased, turning back into a cold stone sculpture.

You knew that what had just happened was not the real descent of the Destruction Venerable King but that He had momentarily connected with the statue through the power of the Incense Fire Evil Thoughts.

Sensing the apparent panic of the Destruction Venerable King, you instantly understood.

You guessed that He had already sensed the treasures you had offered, but the Destruction Venerable King was probably with his three brothers at the moment and lacked a good opportunity to leave them.

The Destruction Venerable King had intended to find a chance to descend, but the continually increasing offerings and the resulting surge of treasure light would soon get detected by his three brothers if He did not intervene.

Therefore, he hurriedly made a connection with the earthly statue, instructing you to wait and stop.

Upon seeing this, the White Elephant Demon sighed to himself, "With so many rare treasures appearing, not just the Protector Wealth God, but even a real god of wealth would be tempted."

Thinking to himself, if he were the Destruction Venerable King, he would also hardly resist such overwhelming temptation...

Ignoring the advice of the Destruction Venerable King, you waved your hand grandly and collected all the offerings from the altar back into your bag.

Subsequently, you chipped off a small fragment from the corner of the Destruction Venerable King’s statue with the Vajra Pestle and tucked it into your bosom.

You left the Buddha Pagoda with the puzzled White Elephant Demon in tow.

At that moment, because you had absorbed most of the pagoda’s evil thoughts, not only did the staircase to the fifth floor appear, but the grand door to the first level of the pagoda also reappeared.

You made your way out of the pagoda without much effort and flew rapidly towards the city outskirts...

Unable to contain his confusion any longer, the White Elephant Demon asked, "Little Junior Brother, what are you doing?"

"The Destruction Venerable King has already said that He will descend and asked you to wait in the pagoda for Him."

"Now you have run far away; what if the Destruction Venerable King doesn’t see you and returns to the Western Paradise?"

With the White Elephant Demon beside you, you flew out of the city and landed on a hill outside, peering through the gaps in the vegetation at the pagoda within the city.

You explained to the White Elephant Demon, "If the eldest brother were the Destruction Venerable King and saw so many treasures, would he so easily give up and return to the Western Paradise?" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

The White Elephant Demon pondered for a moment then shook his head like a drum being beaten.

You continued, "The Destruction Venerable King did not truly descend earlier, so he couldn’t judge the strength of us two brothers."

"It’s remarkable enough for an ordinary believer to offer even one treasure, but you presented so many just now to tempt Him to descend, the Destruction Venerable King must have grown suspicious."

"Staying far outside the city, whether the Destruction Venerable King gives himself away to the other three brothers, or grows suspicious and invites his three brothers to descend, either way, we can see the situation turn sour and flee."

"If only the Destruction Venerable King descends alone, it won’t be too late for us to attack the city."

The White Elephant Demon finally came to an understanding, but was still puzzled about why you had taken the fragment of the statue.

Just as it was about to ask, it suddenly felt something and looked up at the sky...

Only to see a sinister black aura descending from the heavens, landing in the city’s Buddha Pagoda!

The White Elephant Demon’s face lit up, ready to act, but then saw three more black auras descend from the sky!

Hysterical laughter echoed throughout the city...

"Oh second brother, why do you descend so hastily?"

"Such haste must mean something momentous has occurred; why not let the rest of us brothers share your concerns?"

"Heh heh, did you guys forget? The last time our second brother secretly descended, it was for that ’Void Concealed Meteorite Iron.’"

"This time our second brother is sneaking around again, there must be something valuable he’s found."

"Ah, second brother, how careless of you! Have you forgotten that we brothers have perfected the Four-Body Concerted Destiny Great Divine Power?"

"Don’t talk like that, our second brother must have suddenly found a treasure, too thrilled he forgot to inform us and forgot the ’Four-Body Concerted Destiny’ is perfected, allowing us brothers to share thoughts."

Soon, four robust figures flew out of the pagoda!

Holding a Wisdom Sword, a Pipa, a treasure umbrella, or a Double Mace, enveloped in a dense black aura with surging evil thoughts swirling around and the waves of Great Magical Power rippling outward.

The one holding the treasure umbrella seemed slightly despondent, but then forced a smile and said, "Elder brother is right, He was too excited by the joy and only thought of descending quickly to claim the treasures, forgetting about consulting his brothers."

Knowing he was exposed with the shared sensations of joy and grief reflecting upon His brothers under their connected minds, any attempt at concealment was futile.
