Chapter 454: Chapter 203 King of Five Senses_3
“Rise.”
The mundane phrase rose within Fengdu City as each ghost deity slowly stood up, all gazing at the Emperor’s Carriage with reverent eyes.
Shen Yuan’s gaze swept over the mostly destroyed Fengdu City after several great battles, his majestic voice turning into a Divinity Path Edict manifesting between heaven and earth.
“All palaces and temples within Fengdu City shall reassume their positions, and all Netherworld demon gods shall re-enter slumber, waiting for the moment of heavenly and earthly return!”
Shafts of rosy light descended as if carried by an invisible pair of great hands, bearing the rules of the Netherworld and the incense of the Divinity Path, reconstructing the damaged Fengdu City.
The cracked earth began to heal, and one by one the palaces and temples were restored amid the reconstruction by the incense, presenting scenes akin to miracles.
As the myriad Divinity Path incense dissipated, everything within Fengdu City reverted to its place, the only difference being that the 10 Yin Hall, which should have been presided over by the 10 Netherworld Commanders, had been transformed into the Mount Luofeng 6 Hell Deities Hall.
The gathered Netherworld demon gods, upon witnessing this scene, all showed expressions of wild joy.
Although the Netherworld was favored by the world of the Primal Chaos Realm and could produce powerful experts at the Peak Return-to-Void Stage, this was not without cost.
The slumber of the Netherworld demon gods was the price paid in response to the Primal Chaos Realm.
They were originally meant to sleep until the great resurgence of heaven and earth before awakening. The great battle that disrupted the palaces and temples woke them, but at the same time, it affected their own Yin longevity and the foundation of their Spirit Souls.
If they did not go back to sleep, their strength would greatly diminish.
Now that Shen Yuan had reconstructed the palaces and temples, it was naturally a good thing for most of the Netherworld demon gods.
“We shall respectfully comply with the Fengdu Emperor’s decree!”
Within Fengdu City, Netherworld demon gods and City Gods from various cities all returned to their respective palaces and temples, and the once somewhat bustling Fengdu City fell silent once more.
Only the Mount Luofeng 6 Hell Deities that Shen Yuan had appointed remained in front of the Emperor’s Carriage.
Shen Yuan’s eyes passed over these Mount Luofeng 6 Hell Deities: Bull Head, Black and White Impermanence, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and… Leopard Tail.
Shen Yuan’s gaze finally settled on Leopard Tail.
When Leopard Tail suddenly pledged allegiance, even Shen Yuan couldn’t help being surprised, but due to the hurried change in situation, Shen Yuan did not have the chance to thoroughly investigate the matter.
Yet just now, as Shen Yuan was using the incense of the Divinity Path to repair the palaces and temples within Fengdu City, he suddenly noticed an anomaly within one building.
That building was none other than the Fengdu Grand Hall, located at the very center of Fengdu City.
Shen Yuan saw that on the three tiers of steps within the Fengdu Grand Hall, each tier was enshrined with local deities, and the dull and indistinct sculpture at the top had shed its dust and revealed Shen Yuan’s own countenance.
On the second tier, the 5 Regions Ghost Emperors still sat unchanged.
On the lowest tier, the sculptures of the 10th Hall Yamas had mostly crumbled, leaving only one still standing tall.
And that sculpture was none other than Qinguang King from the 10th Hall Yamas!
Shen Yuan looked meaningfully at Leopard Tail. With the incorporeal persona of Emperor Fengdu added to him, plus Leopard Tail being one of Mount Luofeng 6 Hell Deities and thus his Subordinate Deity, his Divinity Path ranking was already under his control.
With both aspects supporting him, Shen Yuan could clearly see that there seemed to be a strand of Spirit Soul brilliance entwined with the remaining Qinguang King sculpture in the Fengdu Grand Hall on Leopard Tail.
Sensing Shen Yuan’s inquiring gaze, Leopard Tail calmly smiled and stepped forward to kneel before the Emperor’s Carriage, respectfully saying:
“Your humble god, Qinguang King, greets the Fengdu Emperor!”
The other supernatural beings all looked shocked, with Netherworld Commander Bull Head opening his eyes wide in a furious gaze.
Shen Yuan was not at all surprised by this outcome.
Combining the sculptures within the Fengdu Grand Hall with the brilliance of the Spirit Soul on Leopard Tail, Shen Yuan had already guessed the issue at hand.
This Qinguang King, one of the 10th Hall Yamas, did not choose to do the same as the other Yamas, who forcefully split their Spirit Souls to take over the bodies of Netherworld Commanders. Instead, he peeled off a portion of his Spirit Soul brilliance and hid it within Leopard Tail, exerting a subtle and silent influence.
Long before the other Yamas descended, this Qinguang King had already been laying out his plans within the Primal Chaos Realm.
As for why Qinguang King would turn toward him…
Shen Yuan flipped his hand, and the Fengdu Emperor’s Seal appeared in his palm.
“I from ten thousand years past could leave behind this Divinity Path Emperor’s Seal, which is tied to the Netherworld, surely I also intervened in matters of the Netherworld and even the Underworld.
The allegiance of Qinguang King might be the result of causes and effects left behind from ten thousand years ago.”
Shen Yuan roughly guessed the situation.
Inside the Emperor’s Carriage, a calm voice slowly arose:
“You have done well.”
A single brief sentence was enough to make Qinguang King, one of the 10th Hall Yamas, ecstatic.
“Your humble god was merely performing his duty.”
Shen Yuan was about to speak again, but Qinguang King, whose face was lit with ecstasy, suddenly changed expression and hurriedly said:
“Your Majesty, those Yamas who suffered heavy losses within the Underworld have begun to make their moves.
My sculpture, this bit of Spirit Soul brilliance, can no longer remain in the Primal Chaos Realm, lest Qinguang King discover clues.”
As he spoke, the brilliance of Qinguang King’s Spirit Soul began to dissipate, and that remaining sculpture of Qinguang King in the Fengdu Grand Hall slowly crumbled away.
