517 The Southern Barbarians
Therefore, the best way to end this was to divert their attention!
“I’ve heard that the Human Emperor of the North is very powerful. He has the power to conquer the world. Humans can become gods, but they can’t kill them. This is the rule of the divine world, and that Human Emperor broke it.”
“I heard that he has the intention to attack the eastern barren. I think he has already snuck into the territory. Everyone, be careful.”
The God of Light thought about it briefly and then threw the blame on Lin Xuan without hesitation. He knew most of the other invincible earth-rank powerhouses and knew their personalities. They probably would not do something like sneaking in and hunting other gods. However, he did not know about the Human Emperor Lin Xuan. After all, he had only appeared recently. Who knew if he would use some underhanded means to get his way?
At that moment, all the gods turned their gazes to the two gods sitting at the top. Seeing the God of Light’s solemn vow and the God of Darkness nodding after some hesitation, they immediately understood the situation.
There were enemies!
Although it wasn’t explicitly said, that was what they meant.
All the gods fell silent. Suddenly, all of them felt insecure. They felt that if they stayed in the covenant of the gods, they would be killed by the lurking powerhouse at any time.
What to do?
What else could they do?
They could only stay on edge for the rest of their lives!
The fact that the other party could kill the goshawk so easily showed that he was powerful, even more, powerful than the God of Light and Darkness. However, once the two kings joined forces, the enemy lurking in the dark would not be a match for them. After all, he did not fight openly, so he must be afraid of the two of them.
Therefore, during this period of time, all the gods were living inside the covenant of gods, and they had to stay in pairs to ensure that when one was sleeping, the other would be alert.
All the gods agreed with the two kings’ opinions, but their eyes kept glancing at the two. After all, the suspicion of the two kings had not been cleared.
The two kings were also very helpless with that fact, but they had no choice. They couldn’t find any evidence of enemy infiltration, so they could only temporarily treat it as a muddled occurrence.
However, just as all the gods were on guard against unknown enemies, the war between the gods and the people inexplicably began. Within the covenant of the gods, according to the direction, it could be divided into eight districts. In these eight districts, the gods and the people were mixed with the good and the bad. There were people who believed in all kinds of gods, but overall, they lived stable life.
Now, no one knew who had started the war. Out of the eight districts, the people in four districts started to riot. As the number of people rioting increased, the situation became more and more apparent.
Naturally, the gods would not care about such fights. Basically, it was the priests who came forward to mediate. However, for some reason, the rioters killed three of the priests, who did not have much of a presence!
Things had suddenly gotten out of hand!
Killing a priest was like slapping the god’s face. If the one killed was a powerful god, even if the God of Light’s priest, someone would quickly replace him. However, for such a small god, there were not many divine citizens, and even fewer people could become a god’s priest.
With this, the village would be destroyed, and the villagers would have to join other villages and believe in other gods.
For low-level human beings, this was nothing. For the gods, it would mean death. The identity of the gods had been separated, and they had become wild beasts again, wandering in the wilderness of the East continent.
It was intolerable. This was something that every god would not accept. As long as they were still gods, they would have the opportunity to grow stronger. They could become as powerful as the God of Light and the God of Darkness.
The meeting of the gods began again. This time, not only were the gods present, but the priests of the gods had also entered the Hall of Gods. When the divine people were in a riot, the gods would not be able to suggest anything good. On the contrary, the priests of the gods were more aware of the situation.
The gods looked down at the sacrificial meeting below.
“Has the cause of the riots been found?”
The high priest of the God of Light, who was sitting at the head of the table, shouted in a low voice with a gloomy expression.
This was a mistake, a major work mistake. It must be known that in these four districts, the God of Light’s divine beings were also involved.
Of course, if that was all, it would be fine. The most important thing was that one of the gods had completely lost the ability to worship, and there was no other divine person that could replace them. They had to either take a few sacrificial materials from the villages of other gods or completely strip the status of the God.
The high priest had thought that this time, he would definitely strip the God of his status. He did not expect that the God of Light would give an oracle to choose a priest from the people of the God of Light to give to the unlucky God.
When did the gods become so friendly with each other?
That shouldn’t be the case. The covenant of gods had been in effect for a long time, and the main kings weren’t the God of Darkness and God of Light. They all slowly accumulated their power, then broke through the blockade of the previous king, and became kings through more energy. It wasn’t like this hadn’t happened before. Those gods had all been expelled from the covenant of gods, and the remaining divine beings were divided up.
A god priest stood up and bowed to the gods above. He then bowed to the high priest of the two kings and said loudly, “We’ve investigated the situation. The North, South, East, and West roads are all using the water of the divine river. The remaining water contains the blood of berserk tigers, berserk rhinos, berserk apes, and other berserk wild beasts. If I’m not mistaken, this riot was caused by the b*stards of the southern barbarians!”
For a time, many gods and priests frowned. Unlike the gods, they had not felt the threat from the North yet, but the hostility against the southern barbarians had lasted for a long time. As time passed, hatred between the two sides had been formed, and they did not know how to resolve it… Forget it, there was no need to remove it, just fight!
In fact, it was not just the priests who were frowning. The gods were also frowning.
Could it be that the enemy who had infiltrated the covenant of gods this time was from the southern barbarians?
It was not impossible!
However, the main question was did the barbarians really have the brains to do so?
They couldn’t believe it.
The rest of the gods looked at the two kings. Previously, the two of them had hinted verbally that the person who had sneaked in might be the Human Emperor. Now, the situation was that it was most likely the southern barbarians who were causing trouble…
It suddenly became very awkward.
The expressions of the God of Light and the God of Darkness did not change, but they were still somewhat speechless. They had not expected it to be the barbarians.
