The Growth of a God-Chapter 625 - 9: Ancient Shu Divine Pantheon

"My master isn’t really a good person, but he has truly only shown me kindness."

Gently stroking the Celestial Eye on her forehead, Feng Xi didn’t want to discuss things that hadn’t happened.

Even though she knew that if it weren’t for the relentless pursuit by the Mountain and Sea Civilization, one day she would be sold by the Celestial Sorrow Demon Monarch to some unknown god to serve as an Apostle.

But those are things that haven’t happened yet, aren’t they?

Perhaps with the intent to absolve the Celestial Sorrow Demon Monarch of guilt...

Or maybe simply not wanting to see others repeat her own experience...

After diligently studying and contemplating, Feng Xi chose to join the secret squad that once saved her, which was specifically tasked with opposing the special group known as "Civilization Sellers."

Until her recent retirement, Feng Xi had interacted with almost a hundred of these "Civilization Sellers."

Therefore, Feng Xi was well aware of the vile nature of "Civilization Sellers," naturally not having any favorable impression of these gods whose main occupation was trading races and civilizations.

"Is that why you’re so repulsed by ’Civilization Sellers’?"

The one speaking wasn’t Marquis Yi but Chubby Dun, who had been listening silently beside them.

"And that Celestial Sorrow Demon Monarch indeed has high expectations for you!"

Upon hearing this, Marquis Yi immediately turned his head towards Chubby Dun, curiously helping Feng Xi ask.

"How did you come to realize that?"

Chubby Dun, having waited for this question, immediately chuckled.

"Because... that’s one of the reasons I’m here."

"If I’m not mistaken, the eye on her forehead comes from the Celestial Silkworm God of the Ancient Shu divine pantheon."

"The Divine Eye of the Celestial Silkworm, the form of Yu Fu..."

"That Celestial Sorrow Demon Monarch obviously wants to cultivate you into a true God of Ancient Shu."

Silently staring at Chubby Dun, Feng Xi didn’t speak, as she too was curious about how much the other knew.

To investigate the origins of her Celestial Eye, Feng Xi had put in considerable effort and finally learned part of the truth from a Netherworld Celestial Monarch.

"It seems you know something?"

Seeing Feng Xi unsurprised, it was Chubby Dun’s turn to be a bit taken aback.

"I indeed know some details, but I’m more curious about how much you know?"

......................................................

The Ancient Shu divine pantheon is one of several ancient pantheons that were once compared alongside the Mountain and Sea Gods and the Nine Songs of god.

Its origin traces back to the Long-Eyed God who transformed himself into the Void Divine Hall.

Long-Eyed God died a long time ago due to the curse of the Celestial Five Declines.

Yet His remaining will continued creating various incarnations throughout All Heavens and Myriad Realms, attempting to resurrect himself.

Nowadays, those dwelling in the Netherworld, the Netherworld Celestial Monarchs, are incarnations of the Long-Eyed God returning to the Void Divine Hall.

However, there’s always an exception, especially in the vast All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

Since there are incarnations returning to the Void Divine Hall, naturally there are incarnations unwilling to become the "resurrection vessels" for the Long-Eyed God.

Can Cong and Yu Fu, who founded the Ancient Shu divine pantheon, were incarnations that escaped the control of the Long-Eyed God’s will through their own power.

Just like the Long-Eyed God, Can Cong inherently possessed a pair of long eyes, capable of perceiving the essence of everything.

After shedding the Long-Eyed God’s will, he established the initial Ancient Shu Kingdom, attempting to educate his clansmen to escape their previous barbaric way of living.

Thanks to the vast knowledge reserve of the Long-Eyed God, and his status as "Mentor of the Gods"...

Can Cong ultimately became the founding god of the Ancient Shu Divine Kingdom, aiding over a dozen demigods qualified to become gods to succeed in their ascension to divinity, establishing the initial shape of the Divine Kingdom.

Unfortunately, Can Cong himself perished due to an internal rebellion, his remnants transformed into the Can Cong Bloodline.

As direct descendants inheriting part of Can Cong’s divine power and traits, the Can Cong Bloodline is not a racial concept.

In the world of the Ancient Shu Divine Kingdom, any individual touched by Can Cong Divine Blood qualifies to be called "Can Cong Bloodline."

Besides various peculiar abilities, the most notable trait of the Can Cong Bloodline is the "Celestial Eye" inherited from Can Cong.

To signify their identity and to maximize the capabilities of the Celestial Eye...

Members of the Can Cong Bloodline often carve a mark on their forehead to bear and utilize Can Cong’s divine power.

Over time, carving a mark resembling the Celestial Eye on one’s forehead has become a custom and pride among the Can Cong Bloodline.

This situation continued until the birth of Yu Fu.

Yu Fu was a descendant of Can Cong but also an incarnation of the Long-Eyed God.

Just like Can Cong, Yu Fu also successfully liberated himself from the Long-Eyed God’s will and unified the continuously conflicted Ancient Shu Divine Kingdom, becoming the Supreme God in the true sense for this pantheon.

Yu Fu, born from Can Cong’s bloodline, possessed power far exceeding his predecessor.

In the legends of the Ancient Shu Divine Kingdom’s world, after ascending to godhood, Yu Fu often appeared among beings in the forms of fish and bird, reminding and aiding them to survive better.

In fact, the name Yu Fu is a compound word of "fish" and "bird."

Therefore, among Yu Fu’s clan and followers, he possesses both fish and bird Divine Being forms.

Fish as human body, fish tail; fish people god image steering the waves.

Fu as feather wings, bird claws; bird people god image with beast face human form.

Crucially, whether as fish people god image or bird people god image, Yu Fu has a long eye opened on his forehead.

"Sounds like this ’Fu’ resembles you somewhat..."

With a peculiar expression, Marquis Yi glanced at Feng Xi beside him, both surprised and enlightened.

Because according to Chubby Dun’s description, Feng Xi, with her eagle head human body and Celestial Eye, indeed bore some resemblance to the bird Divine Being incarnation of Yu Fu.

"It’s not just resembling, but I was originally groomed by my master in the form of Yu Fu."

Seeing that Chubby Dun knew so much inside information, Feng Xi chose not to hide anymore.

"My master once acquired a drop of ’Can Cong Divine Blood’ by chance..."

"Unfortunately, he never found the correct way to utilize this drop of divine blood."

"Until he discovered me and realized that my form bore some resemblance to the legendary Yu Fu."

Once again reaching out to touch the Celestial Eye on her forehead, Feng Xi spoke softly.

"In a sense, I possessed the ’Divinity’ of Yu Fu while still an embryo..."

"As long as someone knowledgeable comes along, I could be sold for a price unimaginable to ordinary people as a ’Divine Incarnation.’"
