Chapter 2973: The Crux of the Gods' Plan

Nai Luo Tian remained silent.

The Red General's words struck precisely at the pain point of the celestial realm, but by now it was too late to turn back.

"Regarding the descent of the gods plan of the Ling Xu Holy Venerable, is there any new progress or information?" He Lingchuan asked Chi, "For example, the time of descent, the hiding place of the divine descent bodies?"

He had once tasted the sweetness of digging out a cave, stealing the body of the Luxi Shenjun from the Lingyun Palace, completely cutting off the possibility of all deities descending to the lower realm, and clearing the last obstacle for the heroic spirits of Panlong City to be reborn into the world. If he could do it again, tsk tsk, wouldn't the lower realm path of the Ling Xu gods also be blocked? Nai Luo Tian gave a bitter smile: "You're thinking too beautifully—how could the Ling Xu Holy Venerable fall into the same hole twice? As for the divine descent bodies, no one now knows where they are hidden, not even the senior members of the Ling Xu deities."

Chi then said: "As for the time of descent—well, isn't that up to the Ling Xu Holy Venerable to decide? Chi is ready, and naturally will initiate it." The Red General suddenly interjected: "That may not necessarily be the case."

Nai Luo Tian listened, startled: "What do you mean?"

He Lingchuan changed the subject: "You mean, the descent of the gods hasn't started because the Ling Xu Holy Venerable isn't ready yet?"

"Hey, I'm not saying that. In my view, the conditions for the descent of the gods are already mature. The reason it hasn't unfolded—" Nai Luo Tian paused, "perhaps the Ling Xu Holy Venerable is looking for a suitable opportunity."

"Are the divine descent bodies already prepared?"

"The Ling Xu deities are all on standby, and the Ling Xu Holy Venerable has already told Chi and the others that the descent plan could be launched at any moment."

It is known that the descent of the gods plan requires two major conditions to be launched: first, the spiritual energy density in the human world must be sufficient to support the free movement of the great heavenly demon—this has already been achieved; second, the mass production of divine descent bodies must be completed, so that the descending gods can fully engage in battle in the human world—this currently no one can confirm, but He Lingchuan and the Red General both believe it is about seventy to eighty percent likely.

The reason is simple: since the Battle of the Trapped Dragon Moat, the heavenly demons have at least successfully carried out the first batch of full divine descents, even if the scale was small.

The vanguard has already descended—will the main force still be far behind?

Currently, what He Lingchuan and the Wuhuan Great Emperor are most concerned about is the specific timing of the heavenly demons' descent to the lower realm, because the subsequent strategy and tactics must revolve around it.

When will they descend? Where will they descend? In how many batches?

This is the top-secret of the Ling Xu deities, known to no one.

So, what is the Ling Xu Holy Venerable waiting for? What kind of opportunity is Chi seeking?

"There's one last thing." He Lingchuan asked directly, "I've heard that the Ling Xu Holy Venerable has been secretly forging a divine artifact over these past few hundred years in the Ancient Volcano, capable of carrying most of its divine power when Chi descends to the lower realm. Do you know its current progress?"

"I don't know." Nai Luo Tian's reply was also brief: "Chi previously retreated into seclusion in the Ancient Volcano for a long time. I heard that after killing Qi Huo Tian, Chi returned to seclusion again, likely to rest and recuperate, preparing for battle."

Before the great war, whether demon or immortal, there is a tradition of seclusion to accumulate spirit and make a final push.

This is also Nai Luo Tian's reverse deduction, serving as one piece of evidence that the Ling Xu Holy Venerable is about to launch the descent of the gods plan.

The Red General suddenly asked again: "When the Ling Xu Holy Venerable struck down Qi Huo Tian, what spoils of war did he obtain?"

"I don't know about that," Nai Luo Tian said, "I've been busy lately." Nai Luo Tian has been busy with tactical retreats, and still managed to hear about the fall of these two heavenly deities, Yan Shan Tian and Yan Shi Tian—this news is already quite well-informed. As for other minor details, he truly doesn't have the bandwidth.

But Chi can still provide clues: "However, many heavenly deities of the Ling Xu deities went with him, such as Li Mu Tian, Mian Zhen Shen, and again, Jin Du Shengmu."

"Oh, did Jin Du Shengmu also go with him?"

Nai Luo Tian smiled: "Right, I'll give you another piece of information: Jin Du Shengmu descended to the lower realm yesterday. This information is reliable."

The Red General lowered his head slightly, lost in thought.

Having chatted this far, Nai Luo Tian hastily gathered his lines and left, after all, there are always pursuers behind Chi, and he can no longer be as carefree as before.

Since Chi refuses to join the Ling Xu deities, the Ling Xu Holy Venerable will covet Chi's abundant vitality and demonic aura.

"So it turns out that Chali Tian has already split apart this severely, even Nai Luo Tian has to flee for his life." The Red General said, "But Nai Luo Tian is no pushover either, and there are still many heavenly demons serving under Chi, so he shouldn't be so easily killed."

"Jie Li Tian has defected again." Jie Li Tian was originally a great heavenly deity of the Ling Xu deities, having done many things for the Ling Xu Holy Venerable, later left the Ling Xu deities and defected to Chali Tian; now, the Ling Xu Holy Venerable is waving a good position at Chi, yet Chi has returned again.

A fickle waverer.

"It would be best to warn Shen Wang in advance, lest he be sold out by Jie Li Tian and still count money for Chi." After Nai Luo Tian exhausted himself fleeing, the faith of Shen Guo was taken over by Jie Li Tian. Now Jie Li Tian has suddenly turned back toward the Ling Xu deities, and He Chunhua may not yet know.

"Nai Luo Tian's words cannot be fully trusted—Chi now hopes the Ling Xu deities descend to the lower realm as soon as possible, for some information may not be shared with us, such as the hiding place of the divine descent bodies." He Lingchuan thought for a moment, "Moreover, Chi says with his mouth that he doesn't want to descend to the lower realm—who knows what his true intentions are? A change of heart midway is not impossible."

Nai Luo Tian is a very cunning heavenly demon, and as the situation changes, Chi's decisions may also change.

He Lingchuan asked again: "By the way, what did you just want to say?"

He keenly sensed that the Red General had other thoughts.

"Regarding the initiation of the gods' plan, I still have some doubts. The timing of the descent is decided by the Ling Xu Holy Venerable, right?" The Red General spoke slowly, "But what is the basis for the Ling Xu Holy Venerable's decision? And now Chi has returned to seclusion again. Having just killed Qi Huo Tian, he immediately went into seclusion—Chi is also too eager. Moreover, why did he specifically choose Qi Huo Tian? This faction is quite powerful; if the Ling Xu deities go to annihilate Chi's group, the cost would certainly not be small." The population of the celestial realm is not thriving; possessing four hundred heavenly deities already makes a great clan, let alone having this prehistoric ancient god, Qi Huo Tian, seated in power. Before descending to the lower realm, the Ling Xu Holy Venerable still insists on pulling out this hard nail—why?

He Lingchuan's eyes flickered: "You mean?"

"There may still be some inner secrets—outsiders like Nai Luo Tian cannot possibly uncover them." The Red General stroked his chin, "I have one or two doubts; it would be best to first ask a heavenly demon close to the Ling Xu Holy Venerable to clarify, so we can devise our next countermeasure."

"But no matter what, the death of the Yao Emperor will inevitably cause a great uproar—we cannot remain passive." He Lingchuan stretched lazily, "I will have the Earth Mother return to Cang Yan, bringing more personnel."

He originally wanted to return to Ju City, but now he has changed his mind, deciding to have the Earth Mother bring the elite combat forces and armies over here.
