The arrival of this godly general silenced the entire Slaughter Dragon City.
If it was a few years ago, when gods appeared, all living beings would definitely prostrate themselves in reverence and awe. But obviously, this was not the case. Everyone had already gotten used to it. In their eyes, Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang were already real gods.
Times had changed.
Moreover, this godly general's status was clearly lower than Long Chen's among the human gods. If they knew that the God-king of Hell had killed a godly general to intimidate the other gods, they would have nothing to worry about.
"Wait a moment. We'll be there soon after we make some preparations."
Long Chen said.
"If that's the case, I'll wait outside."
This god general cultivated the same laws as the Infernal Godking. He had a cold and gloomy aura, and he didn't speak much. His actions were clean and efficient, and he directly retreated to the outskirts of Slaughter Dragon City. The Infernal Godking clearly liked Long Chen a lot, and the god generals under him naturally also respected Long Chen.
After he left, Long Chen took Lingxi with him. After all, Lingxi was pregnant, and Long Chen felt more at ease with her by his side. Then, he and Mo Xiaolang were sent off respectfully by everyone.
It was hard to predict what would happen at this banquet.
What would a banquet between gods be like?
"Both of you, please follow me."
The grey-armored godly general led the way, bringing Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang across the sky toward the God-city of Hell. For the gods, the Dragon God Domain was too small. They would probably reach their destination in a short while.
"Senior, how should I address you?"
Even a godly general was probably a figure from millions or even tens of millions of years ago. There was no problem calling him senior.
The godly general said in fear and trepidation, "Please don't call me that. You two are now the heroes of the ceremony and the favorites of the God-king of Hell. Your futures are limitless. Moreover, we gods don't care about seniority. Whoever is stronger is our senior. You two can just call me 'Lu Ji.'"
Long Chen nodded.
Judging from the Divine General's reaction, the gods seemed to be living in harmony with each other. They respected each other, and there was no sign of arrogance.
"Lu Ji, where were you before you returned?"
The godly general was taken aback. "We wandered through many worlds. When I left the ceremony, I was not yet a god but a half-step god. I became a god in another world."
Long Chen nodded. "To become the faith of the people there?"
Lu Ji stared blankly for a moment before saying, "Under the new rules, there's no longer any power of faith to become a god. As long as you pass through the Great Tribulation of Gods and Demons, you can easily become a god. Under the new rules, the ancient gods have also changed. Now, the gods don't need the power of faith anymore. It's a miracle that you became a god through faith on the Dragon Sacrificial Continent, but it will also gradually change under the new rules in the future. The power of faith is too restrictive, and the gods under the new rules are more stable than before."
"Is that so …"
Long Chen was a little confused. In fact, everything about becoming a god through faith and talent came from the Supreme Divine Emperor's halberd. After hearing Lu Ji's words, the old dragon was also a little stunned. He suddenly understood and said, "So that's how it is. Now that everyone has become a god, we don't need faith anymore. This new rule is indeed magical, indeed wonderful.
This could explain why the gods didn't need the power of faith anymore.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the Hell God City.
But this was not the Hell God City of the past.
Long Chen had been to the War God Ancient City and even the Emperor Jun Divine City before. He had a rough idea of the scale of the divine cities. But after the gods returned, the ancient city of the 72 divine descendants transformed. Not only did they start to rule over the Dragon God Domain, they also ruled over all the humans on the Dragon Sacrificial Continent. For example, the Hell God City of the past had undergone major changes.
This was a strange giant city built in the middle of a black mountain range. It was shrouded in layers of black fog. The surrounding area was covered in thick black fog.
Through the fog, one could see the giant city. It was a primeval grade destinable divine artifact.
This was the entire Hell God City.
It could move at any time, change its size, travel between heaven and earth, and rule the world.
Shui Lanyan was also a Divine King, so she had the God Slaying Sword. The God King of Hell hadn't been sealed for millions of years. He was rich and overbearing. It was very normal for him to have this primeval grade destinable divine artifact to build the Hell God City.
In the Hell God City, many gods were already waiting for Long Chen.
"The gods who have returned are led by the Divine King of Light and the God King of Hell. The Divine King of Light and the God King of Hell have some differences, so the Divine King of Light and his subordinates weren't invited to this banquet," the gray-armored general explained.
But at least there were already more than 50 gods in the Hell God City. They were all at least at the ultimate Tai Chi Divine State. As for the divine soldiers and generals of the various divine cities, they were still guarding the divine cities.
Those who could attend this banquet were the 72 gods from millions of years ago.
"Welcome."
When Long Chen approached, the Hell God City rumbled and changed. A broad road extended out, piercing towards Long Chen who was 10,000 meters away. Long Chen stepped on this road and headed towards the Hell God City.
Below him were the descendants of the Hell God City. Long Chen had been here before. The hundreds of thousands of people below him were all descendants of the God King of Hell. Within two years, the God King of Hell had already built his descendants into a force comparable to Dragon City. At the same time, he was also selecting geniuses from the Dragon Sacrificial Continent to join the Hell God City.
A divine city with a god was indeed different. Compared to the Hell God City, the five great dragon cities seemed rather pitiful.
However, this was a necessary change after the gods returned.
"You're finally here."
The God King of Hell's laughter came from the depths of the divine city.
Long Chen quickened his pace and entered the destinable divine artifact in no time. The interior was brightly lit and there was a vast hall in the middle. At this moment, there were dozens of gods sitting on the seats. Among them, the number of God Monarch level gods that threatened Long Chen had increased to about 15.
There were also more than a dozen at the same level as the Great Sage.
It seemed that the main force of the 72 gods were all God Monarchs. There were only about 20 of them, and they were only at the ultimate Tai Chi Divine State.
With so many experts, any Perfected God Monarch would be able to wipe out the entire Spirit Essence Star Ocean.
"Young heroes, please take a seat first."
At the highest point, the God King of Hell was dressed in luxurious brocade clothes. He was meticulously dressed and looked graceful and elegant. It was a huge difference from his previous messy hair.
The dozens of primordial gods sized up Long Chen and Long Chen curiously. They did not have any particular evil intentions. Instead, they were mostly curious.
Under the God King of Hell's instructions, Long Chen and Long Chen sat closer to the God King of Hell.
The God King of Hell smiled and said, "Long Chen, you must be in a good mood after reuniting with your family."
Long Chen replied, "Indeed. Thank you for your concern, God King."
The God King of Hell said, "No need to thank me. We should be the ones thanking you. However, it's all in the past. We, the Dragon Sacrifice, have to look forward. I hope that today will be a new beginning for you. Serve the dishes."
The banquet officially began.
The things that gods enjoyed were indeed precious treasures. They were either Primordial Chaos Immortal Essences or some of the rare beasts in the myriad worlds. They were extremely nourishing.
"Thank you, God King, for your gift."
The gods raised their cups.
Long Chen noticed that even the wine in the cups was brewed with Primordial Chaos Immortal Essences. If a mortal took a sip, they would probably be able to break through to the Samsara Realm. As for them, just a sip would fill them with divine power and vigor. They seemed to be on the verge of a breakthrough.
The God King of Hell was very happy as he said, "These dishes are all meticulously crafted from the myriad worlds. The Dragon Sacrifice Continent cannot enjoy them, especially this wine. I brewed it with Primordial-Grade Primordial Chaos Immortal Essences. After hundreds of thousands of years, I wouldn't have taken it out today if not for the two young heroes."
One of the gods said, "We have benefited from the two of you. Come, I, Heavenly Fire Divine Lord, toast the two of you."
After the banquet, Long Chen got to know almost all the gods present. After all, he had seen their statues in the past.
The God King of Hell's goal seemed to be to integrate Long Chen into their group through this banquet.
"From today onwards, Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang are members of the Dragon Sacrifice Pantheon. They were able to defeat the Era Skyfiend, so they naturally have something extraordinary about them. We are all compatriots, so we should take care of each other and face the challenges together. We should make our Dragon Sacrifice World stronger and restore it to the glory of the Primordial Era."
As a junior, Long Chen didn't say much. Although the God King of Hell emphasized this, the gods weren't puppets. They naturally wouldn't listen to him completely. He could tell that there were still some people who had some opinions about him, such as the Mighty Miracle God who had been killed.
The banquet was about to end, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. This was an opportunity. Long Chen said, "God King, and seniors, there is something I need to report to you."
The gods quieted down. The God King of Hell smiled and said, "Speak."
Long Chen said, "There must have been an accident when we killed Demon Wa back then. This matter is a bit complicated, so please listen to me explain from the beginning."
Long Chen then roughly explained what had happened.
"In summary, my sister Soyeon has inherited Demon Wa's body. She has Demon Wa's rules and power, but she has nothing to do with Demon Wa. She is kind, and with the two of us watching over her, there won't be any problems."
After listening to this, the gods fell silent. It was obvious that their expressions had changed a bit.
Among them, a pitch-black Night God said, "The Primordial Demon Race is the embodiment of evil. Not only are their souls evil, but their bodies are also not spared. Although it is as you said, I suspect that this woman might bring trouble to our Dragon Sacrifice World in the future. After all, when Demon Wa was at her peak, there were less than four of us who could restrain her, and none of them have returned yet. I suggest that we at least take some measures."
A bald God surrounded by lightning said, "I also suggest that. If an accident happens and Demon Wa is reborn, there will be billions of casualties. The Dragon Sacrifice World is so fragile, it's not good to let such a threat exist."
For a moment, the gods all expressed their opinions. Basically, no one cared about the relationship between Long Chen and Soyeon. Long Chen had already said that she was his sister.
It seemed that there weren't many gods who truly recognized him …
