BXBX NOVEL Chapter 329: Luring
After hearing the Death King words, Tie Gang looked at the capital; his eyes suddenly had weird runes on them as he observed the people. He saw that the majority of people had a thin gold layer on top of their heads.
The intensity of the gold layer varied from person to person, and even the Gods had them on top of their head. That’s because that was the intensity of their faith.
Tie Gang was using a secret technique called Qi Watching Technique. Between Heaven and Earth, all things have their own qi or breath. By observing this "qi" you can peep into their essence, their secrets.
This kind of technique is usually used to look at Qi Luck: whether it’s the individual, the luck of a fortune dynasty, or a sect. It used to see the unseen, to know the unknown.
Since Wang Wei’s eyes had the natural ability to see these things because of his Paragon Soul, he did not have to learn this kind of technique.
After checking out the belief of all the people in the capital, Tie Gang paid attention to a few of them. All of them had a bright and pure golden light on top of their head, signaling that their Faith in the Death Gods was unparalleled.
Tie Gang flicked his hand, sending myriad lights from his body; each light hit one of the Fanatic Believers below the True God level, placing a mark on them. Finally, he ordered some of his men to go capture these people with the mark.
He then ordered the Gods who surrendered to come to stand next to him. Since he did not trust the majority of them, he instantly locked all of them in case they decided to go back on their words.
As for the people who refused to surrender, Tie Gang no longer persuaded them. He ordered his army to slaughter anyone who prevented them from occupying the capital.
With the power of the Undying Legion, anyone who stood in their ways was killed. And it was not even close to a fair fight. The Gods were slaughtered and their golden blood flowed like rivers.
Their bodies were then collected for further study.
Conquering the capital along with the following cities was quite easy– a fact which greatly annoyed Tie Gang as his immortal army did not have a chance to truly display their undying ability with his Innate Talent.
Luckily for him, this battle was not close to being over. The majority of Gods were stuck in their Heavenly Abode and could not leave. So were their legions of Gods.
So, after rapidly settling all the territories of the Death Realm, Tie Gang began his crusade in these abodes.
His first victim was a title god who went by Corrosion God. As soon as he invaded the Heavenly Abode, Tie Gang saw a large army made of Demi-Gods and below waiting for him; this made him very happy.
So, he ordered his legion to begin attacking. Then, the nightmare of the Corrosion God began. It did not take long before he discovered that the soldiers in this army were immortal.
It did not matter whether they were stabbed through their hearts or head, whether their blood was drained, or their skin corroded by acids; they will heal instantly.
On one occasion, he saw one soldier had his head cut off, however, the person next to him hurriedly took his head and re-attached it.
After seeing this, he became scared and decided to run away. Unfortunately, for him, he was killed by Tie Gang with one punch.
After conquering this Heavenly Abode, he rushed to the next one. The majority of them surrendered after Tie Gang showed them the fate of the Corrosion God along with his followers.
And some of them decided to try to run away from the Death Realm, others fought back. One particular Title God called Slaughter God discovered the flaw of the Undying Army.
So, he ordered his men to instantly kill the soldiers of the Undying Army preventing them from sharing life force to heal themselves. In the end, although they won the war, there were still some casualties.
After this event, Tie Gang no longer wanted to play around. So, every time he attacked a Heavenly Abode, he used radical means. His first step of action has always been to blow up the abode. Thus weakening the power of the Void Gods and Title Gods.
After that, he captured the one that surrounded while killing the ones that resisted.
While Tie Gang was rapidly conquering the Death Realm, outside of it, all the Supreme Gods did not stop attacking the shield created by the formation.
However, they suddenly stopped as they felt that some reaction coming from the formation. An illusory figure appeared in front of them: it was Li Jun.
All of them watched the young man in front of him with wariness while remaining silent. Finally, the Destiny Goddess asked: "Are you the leader of the Outsiders?"
"Yes, and you can call me Li Jun," he replied with a smile. He then looked at all of the Supreme Gods. The majority of them looked like humans, but a few had animals features with humanoid forms similar to the devil race.
"Why have you invaded our world?" she asked with a stern voice.
Of course, it’s to gather incenses," replied Li Jun as he analyzed these people based on their facial expressions.
"I can honestly tell all of you that we have no intention of occupying your world for a long period of time. After we accomplish our goal, we will leave. After all, we are from a more powerful world, there is no need to stay in this small world that is basically a cage."
Li Jun secretly observed that some people’s body language changed after he said the word "cage". A few seconds later, the Thunder God asked: "What is the world you are from? How powerful is it?"
Li Jun gave a knowing smile after hearing this question before continuing explaining:
"In the Endless Void, there myriad of worlds and they are divided into four grade. Mortal World: this is the lowest of worlds. The spiritual qi between Heaven and Earth is gone, making it impossible to cultivate or for any extraordinary individuals to be born.
"Then there is Small Thousand World. The highest level of cultivation is Tier 3 or what you call Demi-Gods.
"Follow by Middle Thousand World; your current world is this level. The highest level possible is Tier 6 or Title God.
"The third level is called Greater Thousand World, which can give birth to Tier 9 individuals.
"Finally, there is the world that we came from referred to as Heaven Will World; these worlds can give birth to beings known as Great Emperors."
As soon as Li Jun said the word "Great Emperor," a message entered the mind of these Supreme Gods:
"Great Emperor, an existence that has transcended the shackles of Life and Death, standing above myriad races and worlds."
The faces of many of these Gods became unsightly after understanding the implications behind these words.
"What you said does not make sense," hurriedly said the Destiny Goddes. "According to you, our world could only give birth to Title Gods. What about us Supreme Gods?"
"She was correct," thought many of the Gods. However, Li Jun responded calmly:
"You should be aware that your world is special. Because of this special nature, you Supreme Gods have the power of Tier 7. This is most likely because of whoever created that Crystal Wall and your cultivation system."
Many of them suddenly remembered a legend of their worlds. A legend about a supreme being from beyond the stars that came to this world long ago; he was credited as the first God that ever existed, and rumors have it that he or she was the one who created the Crystal Wall to protect this world.
Older Gods like the Destiny Goddess and Life Goddess knew more about this legend than the majority of these other Supreme Gods, but they tried to control their expression to remain as calm as possible.
Li Jun smiled as he continued:
"There is no need for any contradiction between us as we will not stay for long. As long as any of you cooperate with us, I can promise to take you outside with us to experience the broader world.
"If that does not appeal to you, I can even leave our cultivation system to you so that you are no longer restricted by your believers and the power of incense."
