Chapter 106: Fishing, Willing to Take the Bait

The golden river of faith surged forward, the pure wish power contained within it making all the Gu Family Supremes present feel a sense of dizziness in their hearts.

"Heh, this thing is really good stuff!"

Gu Zhan looked at the river of faith, his eyes straight.

He could feel that if he absorbed this power, his soul strength would increase by at least a small margin.

He subconsciously wanted to reach out and receive it.

"Don't touch it."

Gu Lin Tian's light voice sounded, stopping his action.

An invisible immortal power barrier opened, blocking the river of faith in mid-air, unable to advance an inch.

"Father, why?"

Gu Yuan looked at his father with some confusion.

Gu Lin Tian's gaze was deep; he looked at the river of faith that appeared holy and peaceful, and said slowly: "Faith is poison, and it is also a shackle. We cultivators cultivate ourselves, seeking great freedom and great ease, finally transcending everything.

And the Divine Path cultivates all living beings, binding oneself with the karma of billions of believers. The more believers, the stronger the divine power, but the shackles on one's body are also heavier. Once the believers perish, the god will also fall from the altar, or even perish on the spot."

He reached out and picked a wisp of golden wish power from the river of faith.

"What's more,"

He crushed that wisp of wish power at his fingertips, and a trace of twilight-colored aura that was extremely difficult to detect dissipated from it,

"The faith of this world is unclean from the root.

It is polluted by the twilight origin of this world; the more you absorb, the deeper the karma between yourself and this world, and in the future, wanting to break away will be as difficult as ascending to heaven."

Everyone heard this, and their hearts were all chilled.

Especially Gu Zhan, who broke out in a cold sweat, hurriedly pulling his hand back.

"Then... then what about this thing? It's a pity to just leave it like this."

He looked at the river of faith that had nowhere to be placed, his heart aching.

"Who said we're leaving it?"

Gu Lin Tian's mouth revealed a faint smile,

"What is the style of our Gu Family?"

"We absolutely cannot waste any useful resources. Just because we don't follow the Divine Path doesn't mean this thing is useless."

He looked at Gu Xuan Ce:

"Xuan Ce, set up an array, build a God-Refining Pool, collect these faith powers, remove the impurities, and in the future, they can be used to drive immortal artifacts, or be rewarded to those vassal forces of the Immortal Court; I think they will be very happy."

Being stained with faith makes it much harder to break through to the True Immortal realm in the future.

But conversely, below the True Immortal realm, it can significantly speed up cultivation.

"Yes, Immortal Lord!"

Gu Xuan Ce's eyes flashed, immediately understanding Gu Lin Tian's intention.

This was simply a brilliant plan that achieved multiple goals at once.

It solved the problem of handling faith power and added a means to control subordinate forces.

He immediately took the order and, with several array elders, began to get busy on the land that had just been cleaned up.

Various precious array materials were taken out, and a mysterious and complex array rose from the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye.

While Gu Xuan Ce was busy building the God-Refining Pool, the others were not idle either.

Several elders skilled in soul-searching techniques found several low-status White Bone Sect members from the billions of people collected into the small world.

Although they hadn't been deeply polluted by divinity fragments, they also retained quite a bit of information about this world in their minds.

Soon, a detailed report was presented to Gu Lin Tian.

It was similar to the information Gu Yuan had recounted.

The Twilight God Domain had complex forces.

At the very top were the seven Ancient Gods.

They were the first batch of gods born in this world, their strength unfathomable, each possessing combat power comparable to a Heavenly Emperor, each occupying the richest God Domains, and fighting each other endlessly.

The Withered Bone Lord behind the White Bone Sect was one of the seven Ancient Gods.

Below the Ancient Gods were the thirty-six Evil Gods.

Most of them were born later, or were canonized by Ancient Gods, or evolved from swallowing other weak gods, with strength equivalent to 18th Realm Supremes.

They were like vassals of the Ancient Gods, guarding one side for the Ancient Gods, collecting faith, and launching wars.

Further down were countless half-Evil Gods, pseudo-Evil Gods, pseudo-gods, and various sects attached to them, spreading across the entire Twilight God Domain like a spider web.

And the situation of humans was miserable.

In this world full of gods and demons, humans without power were like livestock kept in captivity, the best materials for gods to harvest faith, refine divine servants, and sacrifice for fun.

Of course, where there is oppression, there is resistance.

In some dangerous areas where divine power was difficult to reach, there were still some sporadic human resistance organizations.

They inherited ancient human combat skills, struggling to maintain the sparks of civilization in this desperate world.

And the grading of humans was different from that of the Primordial Immortal Domain.

From the weakest 1st level to the strongest 9th level, but even the 9th level only corresponded to the 17th Realm Supreme.

Facing the massive Evil God forces, it was no different from a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

"Interesting."

Gu Lin Tian looked at the intelligence in his hand, a dangerous light flashing in his eyes,

"A world dominated by gods, viewing all things as straw dogs."

"Father, what should we do next? Go directly to that so-called Withered Bone Lord?" Gu Yuan asked.

Gu Lin Tian looked at his wife Jiang Rou, and the Supremes like Gu Zhan and Gu Xue Dao.

He wasn't as reckless as his father, relying on his cultivation to rampage, which he considered a very stupid behavior.

It was only because his father was powerful that he hadn't been blocked at the door long ago.

Having been the Patriarch of the Gu Family for a long time, even though he possessed the cultivation of the True Immortal realm, he still understood the principle of being careful.

He had seen too many cases of overturning in the gutter.

He pondered for a moment and began to formulate a plan.

"Linjiang, Xuan Ce, Rou'er, you three each take four Supremes and thirty Supreme-level dark guards, and start cleaning up with this White Bone Wasteland as the center. All Evil Gods and half-Evil Gods are to be killed, and the divinity must be collected."

"I will take Yuan'er to hide our auras and sit in the center to prevent accidents. Remember, our goal is to train troops and collect resources, and find information about the Supreme God divinity. Act quickly, don't linger."

"Yes!"

The three promised in unison.

With the plan set, this terrifying war machine of the Gu Family began to operate efficiently.

The team led by Gu Linjiang was like an indestructible sharp sword, sweeping toward the east.

Wherever they passed, temples of Evil Gods built from bones and flesh collapsed.

Those half-Evil Gods who usually acted like tyrants and viewed mortal life as grass.

Under the pressure of the Heavenly Emperor powerhouses, they couldn't even give birth to the thought of resistance, and were ground into dust by a Five-Element Great Handprint descending from the sky.

Their divinity was plucked like mature fruit by the Gu Family elders with ease.

On the other side, Gu Xuan Ce's team was even more straightforward.

He was too lazy to do it himself, directly setting up a great array of absolute killing covering ten thousand miles.

The array started, and thousands of sword qi crisscrossed, like a huge meat grinder, grinding all the Evil Gods and half-Evil Gods in the array, along with their believers, into nothingness.

Then, he walked in leisurely and picked up the divinity fragments scattered everywhere one by one.

Gu Zhan and Gu Xue Dao followed behind, not even having a chance to make a move, only responsible for cleaning the battlefield and counting the spoils.

"Damn it, this is too suffocating."

Gu Zhan kicked a statue of an Evil God to pieces, full of dissatisfaction,

"Following Elder Xuan, I can't even drink a hot soup, just watching him show off alone. If I had known, I would have gone to Elder Linjiang's side."

Gu Xue Dao glanced at him while wiping his blood-colored battle spear, and said coldly:

"Why, you still want to grab heads with a Heavenly Emperor?"

"How would I dare." Gu Zhan shrank his neck and grinned, "I just feel... my hands are itchy."

In just half a day, nearly a hundred half-Evil Gods and pseudo-Evil Gods under the Withered Bone Lord were cleared out, along with the dozen or so faith kingdoms they ruled, which were reduced to ruins.

Massive amounts of divinity and divinity fragments flowed into the Gu Family's team like a stream.

Although these divinities were not of high grade, they were massive in quantity.

Each one contained pure energy and law fragments, which were supreme treasures for the Gu Family descendants below the Saint Dao realm to build foundations and open divine treasures.

It could significantly improve comprehension!

For the current Gu Family.

The lifespan problem was solved, and next, as long as they could improve the comprehension and aptitude of the clan members.

Then geniuses would emerge in the Gu Family.

The strength of the Gu Family's younger generation would usher in a terrifying eruption.

It wouldn't take long before a batch after batch of powerhouses would be born!

"The efficiency is still too slow."

Gu Yuan looked at the map and shook his head,

"This White Bone Wasteland is too big. If we gnaw at it piece by piece like this, by the time we finish cleaning up, those seven Ancient Gods will have reacted long ago."

He told his father his thoughts.

Gu Lin Tian nodded in agreement.

The Twilight God Domain was big.

Bigger than the Profound Heaven Continent.

But smaller than the Sanqian Zhou.

But even so, wanting to scrape all the resources was not something that could be completed in a short time.

You have to know that the Profound Heaven Continent was still being harvested for some

"You are right." He glanced at the Spirit Refining Pool that had already begun to take shape and said in a deep voice, "It is time to fish out a big one."

He raised his hand, and a semi-Evil God godhood comparable to the peak of the 17th realm hovered in his palm.

He blew a gentle breath at that godhood.

A trace of True Immortal power silently merged into it.

Then, he flicked his finger, and the godhood turned into a stream of light, sinking into the depths of the earth.

After finishing all this, Gu Lin Tian closed his eyes again, as if nothing had happened.

Both the True Immortal power and the semi-godhood were opportunities for strengthening that these Evil Gods could not refuse.

Next, it depends on which big fish that doesn't know life from death will be the first to take the bait.
