I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

Chapter 1121 - 597: The Ancient Great Immortal of the Human Clan! (Part 2)

"Let's go."

Yun Qing smiled slightly and said, "Without you by my side, I would likely find it hard to maintain my sanity... Even if something unexpected happens, I can still cover your retreat and hold off the enemy."

Lin Yan was silent for a moment before saying, "I'll take you with me, no need for you to cover my retreat."

——

A hundred li ahead.

It's where the Heavenly God resides.

Lin Yan stored the Little White Ape and Niu Yan into the Nirvana Divine Egg.

He changed his appearance, donning the attire of the Fire God World.

Meanwhile, Yun Qing transformed into the form of a phoenix, reduced in size, perched on Lin Yan's shoulder.

"..."

This Heavenly God was now still a stone statue.

The Qi Mechanism on the statue was quite familiar to Lin Yan.

In later times, he was the deity worshiped within the Withered Glory Sacred Land's Skyfire City.

Heavenly Fire God Monarch!

Lin Yan's heart trembled slightly, he mused privately, "Withered Glory Sacred Land is tens of thousands of li away from here, and yet he is currently here?"

Thinking this, Lin Yan continued forward.

He used the Creation of All Things Skill to suppress his Qi Mechanism.

Within ten li, Heavenly Fire God Monarch did not detect any anomalies.

Until Lin Yan came even closer.

Outside the three li range of this Heavenly God.

He finally awakened the Heavenly God.

"What a fierce power."

From the stone statue, eyes burst forth with light, landing on Lin Yan, "Clearly just an ordinary mortal, why such fierce power?"

"Descendant of the Human Clan, greets the Heavenly God."

Lin Yan bowed and said, "I am here today to ask the God Monarch to fulfill the Ancient Covenant!"

"Ancient Covenant..."

Heavenly Fire God Monarch was silent for a moment, saying, "What is your origin? After the covenant was signed, a great calamity swept over, and no human should know of this..."

Lin Yan's gaze sharpened, heart filled with joy.

He had been worried.

Perhaps in this era, the gods had not yet signed the Ancient Covenant with the Ancient Immortals.

But it seems now, the covenant had already been signed long before the Red Nether Era.

"The decree of the immortals hangs high above the Nine Heavens, and the Ancient Covenant signed cannot be ignored just because the gods are silent."

Lin Yan slowly stated, "I know that within a hundred li radius, it has become a Forbidden Land, no gods, demons, or evils shall roam... Next, I will have the Human Clan gradually migrate here."

"Why should I agree to you?"

Heavenly Fire God Monarch said coldly, "As long as I slay you, the covenant will be as empty as it was before!"

"I am right here, you can try."

Lin Yan grasped the Night Illuminating Divine Sword.

After a moment.

Heavenly Fire God Monarch remained silent.

Lin Yan released the hilt.

Indeed, in this era, the Old God still could not act against the Human Clan.

The Ancient Covenant was signed in the Ancient Era.

And the constraints on the gods began from the Red Nether Era, or even earlier.

"I will protect the surrounding Human Clan when I am awake, but during sleep, I cannot attend to them."

Heavenly Fire God Monarch said in a flat tone.

Lin Yan knew that among the Old Gods, only a few were willing to protect the Human Clan.

The rest of the Old Gods were all constrained by the Ancient Covenant.

Even in later times, they did not take the initiative to protect the Human Clan.

But rather the Human Clan built cities around the Old Gods.

Relying on the lingering power of the Old Gods while dormant, scaring away evils and gaining a chance to breathe.

Yet by building cities around the bodies of the Old Gods, they immobilized the Old Gods, long being confined in one place.

The Human Clan's cities also became the cages of the Old Gods.

Many Old Gods, their unwilling thoughts influenced the Human Clan.

This led to the birth of "Tribulation Ash."

"It's enough."

Lin Yan said, "Since it's so, next I will seek out several other Divine Venerables to fulfill the Ancient Covenant."

Heavenly Fire God Monarch remained silent.

Lin Yan spoke again, "There's one more thing, I ask the God Monarch to enlighten me."

"Hmm?"

Heavenly Fire God Monarch sneered, "Why should I enlighten you?"

"Nine Dragon Divine Carriage."

Lin Yan said, "Now the Emperor Clan of the Fire Department controls the Nine Dragon Divine Carriage through their bloodline! The Human Clan does not have the means to control the Nine Dragon Divine Carriage..."

He said indifferently, "I will break through the Emperor Clan of the Fire Department, and the Nine Dragon Divine Carriage will be yours, but one thing, you must do your best to protect the Human Clan."

"…"

The Heavenly Fire God Monarch was silent for a moment and said, "What doubts do you have?"

Lin Yan's expression was serious, "Back then, when you six Divine Spirits gathered together, for what purpose?"

"…"

The Heavenly Fire God Monarch was silent for a long time before continuing, "My Fire Department's Main God ranks among the top three in alchemy among the gods."

"Under the great catastrophe back then, various Immortal Gods fell one by one into demons."

"In Xing Prison where my Fire Department is located, a batch of fallen gods who became demons were imprisoned."

"However, on that day, even the Divine Spirits of my Fire Department were polluted, releasing numerous Demon Gods."

"The Xing Prison of the Fire Department was broken, and in the great battle, we discovered that Demon Gods were difficult to kill and had a power of pollution."

"At that time, sixteen Divine Spirits in Xing Prison of the Fire Department were slaughtered, six Divine Spirits were polluted during the battle, driven to madness."

"In the end, only we managed to escape from Xing Prison."

"And at that time, the Fire Ancestor Emperor, driving the Nine Dragon Divine Carriage, was patrolling the Ten Thousand Realms."

"We were relatively close to this realm, so we descended to face the Fire Ancestor."

"But in mid-air, we saw the Nine Dragon Divine Carriage falling, the Fire Ancestor's Divine Body scattered, self-terminating between heaven and earth."

The Heavenly Fire God Monarch was silent for a moment and said, "Looking back now, the Fire Ancestor should have avoided calamity by dying, awaiting future ages for resurrection."

Living amidst calamity, one would eventually be polluted, becoming a fallen god.

Before being polluted, one completely perishes.

Perhaps, when revived in the future, one would not carry the strange pollution reborn.

For example, the Jiujiang Dragon God was slain after being polluted.

Even if revived through the dojo, he remained a fallen Demon God.

"What about you?"

Lin Yan was silent for a moment.

"The Fire Ancestor terminated himself between heaven and earth after discussing the Tao with a True Immortal of the World."

The Heavenly Fire God Monarch said, "With the fall of the Fire Ancestor, we were bewildered, and that Great Immortal then signed a contract with us, granting us the Sleeping Technique."

He continued, "The Fire Ancestor avoided calamity by dying, which should also have been a Secret Technique granted by that Great Immortal."

Hearing this, Lin Yan understood in his heart.

The True Immortal of the World was the Ancient Immortal who signed the contract with the gods.

Even now, there is a decree hanging in the Nine Heavens.

Whenever a Great Luck Teller is born among the Human Clan.

He grants opportunities.

And what was granted to me were the True Words of Soldier and Fighting Word True Mantra.

"Later, what happened to that Great Immortal?"

Lin Yan was silent for a moment and asked.

"He left."

The Heavenly Fire God Monarch said, "After granting us the Magic Method of sleeping, he left... Upon awakening this time, we discovered that his decree was suspended above the Nine Heavens, and his true body must have died."

Saying this, the Heavenly Fire God Monarch said in a deep voice, "He left all his power on that decree."

"The All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds continue to fall and merge as one. This is likely the handiwork of that Great Immortal."

"Such a being, a drop of blood can create a Divine Venerable."

"But he walked through the Ten Thousand Realms, merging his immortal blood into various heavens and earths."

"After his death, based on the decree, he summoned his immortal blood."

"Therefore, the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds still continue to merge."

"This Great Immortal is a path of the ancient Human Clan."

The Heavenly Fire God Monarch sighed, "He destroyed his own path, leaving a way for the Human Clan, letting All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds merge, gathering various Immortal Gods... attempting for the Human Clan to receive protection from post-calamity gods."

He looked at Lin Yan and said, "I have no intention to protect the Human Clan, but I also respect this Great Immortal. As limited by the ancient covenant, I can fulfill the promise... But other gods, I cannot help you."

"Thank you!"

Lin Yan bowed and then retreated.

And Yun Qing on his shoulder whispered, "Is this the ancient covenant you mentioned?"

"I only know the ancient covenant, but I do not know its true essence."

Lin Yan sighed and said, "To be accurate, even those Divine Spirits who signed the ancient covenant, there are probably few who know the truth... They did it to survive, might not have met that Great Immortal!"

This journey yielded greater gains than Lin Yan expected.

The Heavenly Fire God Monarch is likely among the few Old Gods who have seen the "true appearance of the Ancient Immortal."

At least in later generations, other Old Gods are all confused, having signed the ancient covenant.

Even Liu Zun only noticed a decree falling between heaven and earth.

Signing the ancient covenant, protecting the Human Clan, one can gain the method to avoid calamity.

Unfortunately, Lin Yan's other hope originally sought was thus extinguished.

He had thought the Fire Department excelled in alchemy.

These Old Gods gathered together because they were polluted during the Deceit Night, seeking elixirs from the Fire Department's Main God.

But now it seems, even the Fire Department's Main God avoided calamity by dying, naturally lacking such sacred medicines.

The only power in this world capable of dispelling the Deceit Night!

Seems only the Great Sun God Monarch who is already dead!
