Chapter 623: Punishment
In a chaotic world, it's easier to create a deity. Although Luo Yao didn't explain in detail why a chaotic world is more conducive to creating deities, Yang Haoran understood the point after thinking about it briefly.
In a peaceful world, ordinary people live comfortably and stably, without experiencing the hardships brought by war, so most ordinary people won't believe in any deity because they don't need to. They can live well through their own efforts.
The remaining few who believe in deities are tightly controlled by various large sects, which have a deep-rooted position in this world and are difficult to shake. It's very hard to take believers away from these sects.
Believers are scarce to begin with, and other sects can't compete, so those who want to become gods can't collect enough faith power, making it impossible for them to become true deities.
However, if it's a chaotic world, this situation would undergo a drastic change. This world originally has many demons and monsters, and during peaceful times, the government suppresses them, allowing ordinary people to live and work in peace. But once the world is in chaos, with continuous wars and monsters roaming free, the government itself is in danger, and most ordinary people living in hardship will develop faith, seeking spiritual comfort or a role model to learn from.
The object of their faith might be a god or a person. As gods gain faith, they become stronger, and people who gain enough faith have a chance to become gods!
So, compared to peaceful times, chaotic times are more conducive to creating deities.
But what's meant by "easier" is only relative and doesn't mean becoming a god is simple. It's just that the chances of becoming a god are higher in chaotic times.
Yang Haoran understood what Luo Yao meant by "chaotic world creates deities," but he wasn't clear about what the Seal God Platform was, and could only make a superficial guess based on Luo Yao's words and the literal meaning of the three characters.
The Seal God Platform should be a gateway to becoming a god......The key is that if the Seal God Platform doesn't appear, there's no way to become a god, but it won't appear in peaceful times, so the Spirit God wants to create chaos in the world to summon the Seal God Platform.
As long as the world is in chaos, not only can the Seal God Platform be summoned, but it can also gain more believers, achieving two goals at once, making the possibility of becoming a god even higher.
Combining all this information, it's clear why Luo Yao's words were so confident.
Luo Yao saw Yang Haoran deep in thought, then looked at Boss Huo, who was also deep in thought, as if digesting his words.
"I believe you should understand now that the great spirit master's words when she left weren't just threats. They're really going to do that. As for why I didn't stop her when she left, it's not that I didn't want to, but I didn't have the time. I could feel her immense power, and if I fought her, it wouldn't end quickly. I have more important things to attend to, so I didn't want to waste time on her."
After speaking, Luo Yao took out a cigarette from his independent space, lit it, and took a deep drag before continuing.
"If we really fought, her spirit masters would definitely not survive, but I'm afraid you two would also be in danger. As for who would win in the end, it's hard to say. Considering various factors, I'd rather give up on stopping her than take action."
He took another deep drag on the cigarette, slowly exhaling the smoke, before continuing.
"After the great spirit master left, I didn't leave immediately. Instead, I gathered with you two to understand some things from your mouths, confirming my suspicions. As for why I'm telling you this, it's to warn you about the severity of the situation, not to take it lightly. Now that what needs to be confirmed has been confirmed, I'll go discuss with other Guardians on the Jingling Continent, and you two..."
Luo Yao looked at Yang Haoran as he spoke.
"You should immediately..."
"Return to your responsible post in Lecheng, make arrangements, and don't let the tragedy of Yunchuan City be reenacted in Lecheng. How to do it, I believe you have your own methods."
Yang Haoran heard this and respectfully responded, making a guarantee.
"Divine Envoy, rest assured that I will not let the tragedy of Yunchuan City be reenacted in Lecheng."
Whether Lecheng would reenact the tragedy of Yunchuan City was unpredictable, but Yang Haoran's guarantee at this time was actually an expression of his attitude and determination, which Luo Yao naturally understood.
"It's best if you can do this, even if you can't, I hope you'll do your best, because you are our Yin Division's Burial Master, and you must always remember your identity, your faith, and the honor and pride of being an Underworld Envoy." Luo Yao's expression was serious, and he spoke in a low tone.
"Please, Divine Envoy, rest assured that I will not forget my identity." Yang Haoran guaranteed again.
Although he guaranteed it with his mouth, Yang Haoran had his own thoughts in his heart.
After getting Yang Haoran's guarantee again, Luo Yao nodded and then looked at Boss Huo.
Boss Huo's expression remained unchanged, and he slightly lowered his head to show respect.
"The aftermath of Yunchuan City still needs to be handled by you, so you don't need to leave Yunchuan City for now. Wait until you've finished handling it, and then you can return to your New Yang City. During this time, I will reassign someone to temporarily take your place in New Yang City."
As soon as Boss Huo heard Luo Yao's words, his face changed slightly, but he quickly recovered.
"Divine Envoy, the deceased demon hunter was from the New Yang City demon hunter branch. If I stay in Yunchuan City, it will be troublesome to handle this matter. Moreover, the current situation is complex, and I can better avoid chaos by returning to New Yang City, as I am very familiar with every nook and cranny of New Yang City." Boss Huo spoke up.
Luo Yao was well aware that the deceased demon hunter was from the New Yang City demon hunter branch, as Boss Huo had already reported this earlier. Luo Yao's decision was actually to keep Boss Huo in...
Yunchuan City
The Burial Master of Yunchuan City and Shi Kai had taken Yang Haoran's elixir after being poisoned, and although they had managed to save their lives, it was unknown when they would wake up.
Moreover, their Yin spirit power had been devoured by the spirit master's Guardian Spirit, leaving them with only a fraction of their original power. Even if they woke up, their strength would be pitiful, not even comparable to many Night Watch members. To restore their strength to its peak, a sufficient amount of pure Yin qi was essential.
In other words, the Burial Master of Yunchuan City and Shi Kai would be unable to contribute for a long time, but the cities under their jurisdiction could not be left without a leader for a day.
Therefore, Luo Yao was preparing to leave Boss Huo in Yunchuan City to clean up the mess.
Of course, Luo Yao's approach could also be seen as a form of punishment for Boss Huo.
However, Boss Huo seemed unwilling to stay in Yunchuan City, and his words were unreasonable.
"If I give you time, how long will it take you to handle the Yunchuan City Fu Sect's affairs?" Luo Yao did not directly reject Boss Huo, and instead asked him with an unchanged expression.
Boss Huo hesitated for a moment before respectfully giving Luo Yao a timeframe.
"Before dawn, if I can't handle the Yunchuan City Fu Sect's affairs by then, I am willing to stay in Yunchuan City forever."
Boss Huo understood Luo Yao's intentions, but New Yang City was his foundation, and if possible, he did not want to leave New Yang City, so he made the request and guaranteed it.
"You have a lot of confidence in yourself, good. If you can handle this matter before dawn, you can return to your New Yang City, and I will find someone else to take over Yunchuan City. If you can't handle it before dawn or cause any trouble in the future, then you'll have to explain it to me." Luo Yao spoke.
In normal times, Luo Yao would not have bothered with such a small matter, but the current situation was different, and he did not want to see a small matter escalate into a big one, ultimately affecting the...
The relationship between the Fu Sect and the authorities was not beneficial to their Yin Division.
"Divine Envoy, rest assured that I will not disappoint you!"
Boss Huo guaranteed again, and then took out some soul gathering beads from his independent space. These soul gathering beads contained the souls of spirit masters and their Guardian Spirits, all of which were his spoils from tonight.
Yang Haoran saw this and remained expressionless, also taking out his spoils from tonight from his independent space.
