Zhan Shen: It’s Just a Sacrifice, How Can I Become a Villain?

298: Heaven is up to you!As the four phantoms appeared, Jiuhua Mountain, which was originally filled with incense smoke and faint Buddhist chants, was suddenly assailed by Yin Wind and the wailing of ghosts.

The oppressive feeling brought by Song Zhong was even more astonishing than the power of the Demon King’s Epiphany just now.

”This is...”

Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning looked at the four phantoms behind Song Zhong, unable to suppress the shock on his face.

Even though Song Zhong had already entered the God Realm, he had not brought him such a great shock.

That terrifying and ancient aura made Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning completely certain that behind Song Zhong, there was the power of an ancient deity.

Those ancient deities had long since disappeared from this world, with only some fragmented records in Secret Realms and other scattered texts.

No wonder Song Zhong was able to defeat Fengdu Great Emperor and snatch Fengdu from his hands.

Celestial Worthy of the Way and Virtue’s face was pale as he looked at the immense power contained within the four deity phantoms; if they truly descended upon the world, they would at least be at the level of the Supreme God, right?

Were the trump cards behind this guy really so powerful?

The Demon King also did not expect Song Zhong to appear in such a powerful manner.

Moreover, what puzzled him was that Song Zhong had previously said that there were only three ancient gods by his side, right?

Why are there four phantoms now?

Could it be that this guy recently gained the support of another ancient deity?

How many ancient deities is this guy secretly colluding with?

The Demon King shook his head, dispelling the shock in his heart, and a hint of secret joy arose instead.

No matter how many ancient deities supported Song Zhong, he was always one of the founding Ancestral Masters of the Jie Sect.

The forces behind him were naturally also his own forces; it seemed that the decision to bring him into the fold back then was truly brilliant.

”I never expected that you would have the support of four ancient deities behind you.”

A sense of powerlessness arose in Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning’s heart, which contained both helplessness towards Song Zhong and, more so, self-reproach.

Before the mist descended, how transcendent was the status of the Great Xia Heavenly Court.

At that time, the mythological system could be described as a three-way standoff: the Great Xia Heavenly Court, Yelande’s Heavenly Kingdom, and other mythological systems divided the world.

And after Yelande mysteriously disappeared, the Heavenly Kingdom declined, and the Great Xia Heavenly Court became the sole dominant power.

Then, when the mist descended, the Great Xia Gods, in order to resist the mist and protect the beings of Great Xia, chose to enter Reincarnation themselves, transforming their lifelong cultivation into a national guardian Divine Monument.

Now that he had finally awakened from Reincarnation, not only had he failed to restore the Heavenly Court, but now even whether he could preserve it had become a problem.

As if seeing the turmoil in Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning’s heart, Song Zhong slowly spoke:

”I know what you’re worried about, afraid that the Heavenly Court will be refined by me like Fengdu, right?

Actually, you don’t have to worry at all, because it’s the Demon King who needs the Heavenly Court, not me.

As for the Demon King, you used to be friends, weren’t you?

What’s there to be uneasy about when handing things over to a friend?”

Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning’s thoughts were exposed by Song Zhong, so he could only bite the bullet and say, ”Do you think I’ll believe you?”

Song Zhong actually thought about it seriously.

”You have a point; if I were you, I’d probably be suspicious too.

No choice, I’m laying my cards on the table.”

Song Zhong spread his hands, seemingly a little helpless.

”Although the Heavenly Court’s restoration failed and the Great Xia Gods suffered backlash, some of you didn’t participate in the Heavenly Court’s restoration, right? For example, Yang Jian?”

Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning and Celestial Worthy of the Way and Virtue immediately became vigilant, and at the same time, a huge wave surged in their hearts.

This was the last trump card hidden by the Great Xia Gods, but how did Song Zhong know?

Seeing their dumbfounded expressions, Song Zhong continued:

”If I’m not mistaken, Yang Jian has been responsible for teaching the new Twelve Golden Immortals, right?”

If their previous words had left a glimmer of hope in the hearts of Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning and Celestial Worthy of the Way and Virtue.

Then Song Zhong’s words completely shattered their illusions.

This guy even knew about the new Twelve Golden Immortals.

The so-called new Twelve Golden Immortals were twelve extraordinarily talented children selected from Cangnan.

At that time, after the Mortal Divine Realm in Cangnan dissipated, a portion of the Miracle power integrated into the newborns of Cangnan City.

Among them, the twelve who absorbed the most Miracle power were chosen by the Heavenly Venerate to be cultivated as the new Twelve Golden Immortals.

And their Revered Master, responsible for teaching them, was Qingyuan Daomiao Zhenjun Yang Jian.

But how did Song Zhong know about such a secret matter?

Looking at the astonished expression on Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning’s face, Song Zhong sneered and said:

”I guess you must be very curious right now how I knew about this, right?

Hehehe, don’t forget, during that Cangnan God War, I was the protagonist on the battlefield!”

Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning recalled every detail of that day’s battlefield, but still couldn’t find any clue as to how Song Zhong knew the secret.

At that time, after he appeared and saved Yang Jian, he had been observing in secret.

Besides detecting a faint aura of an ancient deity on Song Zhong, there was nothing else unusual.

”Why exactly...” Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind.

A scene appeared before Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning’s eyes.

After the Cangnan God War ended, in order to collect the citizens’ faith, Song Zhong caused a rain to fall in Cangnan.

A rain full of life.

Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning didn’t know that Song Zhong’s ability was called Sweet Dew, but he felt a vigorous life force in the rain at that time.

Cangnan, which had originally become ruins, after being bathed in that rain, green grass directly grew on the barren land.

And those newborns who were injured by the Divine Power’s impact also recovered from their injuries under the nourishment of that light rain, and their physical quality even improved by one Rank compared to before.

If there was any intersection between Song Zhong and the new Twelve Golden Immortals, that rain was the only possibility.

”Could it be... that rain?” Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning asked uncertainly.

”Hehehe, you guessed it right, truly worthy of Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning.” Song Zhong let out a praising laugh, ”Guess why I went to such great lengths to bring down a Sweet Dew? Was it merely to gain their gratitude and faith?”

A dark cloud enveloped Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning’s heart.

If this was true, wouldn’t it mean that Song Zhong had already tampered with the new Twelve Golden Immortals?

And that wasn’t the most terrifying part; the most terrifying part was that Song Zhong actually knew in advance that he was going to cultivate the new Twelve Golden Immortals.

This ability to anticipate the enemy’s moves was truly terrifying; it was still unknown how many secrets of the Great Xia Gods the other party had mastered.

”What exactly did you do to them?” Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning asked in a choked voice.

”Hehehe, you saw what I did, just helping them strengthen their bodies.” Song Zhong now seemed like a Devil King whose conspiracy had succeeded, ”However, this gift came from me, and they will inevitably generate some Karma with me. I think you should understand what I mean, right?”

Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning was at a loss. After a long time, he slowly spoke, ”The Heavenly Court, it’s yours.”
