Chapter 354: High Priest

Deep within the endless marsh, a magnificent palace sat between high mountains and the marsh.

Row upon row of white jade pillars looked like mountain peaks towering into the clouds.

In the vast palace, there were figures of various shapes and sizes.

"Chi Yu, I observe that the national fortune of the Ying Qin has increased again. You have been outside; have you discovered anything?"

The speaker was a figure shrouded in a huge black robe, from which only two eyes the size of dragon pearls were revealed.

"Reporting to the High Priest, this little god does indeed have something to report. This little god does not know if this matter is related to the national fortune of the Ying Qin."

"Then speak."

The black-robed High Priest said calmly.

In the palace, the other figures also pricked up their ears to listen. Clearly, they had no doubts about the High Priest's words.

The High Priest had a very high status here, not only because of his special abilities but also because his combat power was comparable to the peak of the Three Flowers realm.

This forced a group of deities, demons, and monsters to treat him with caution.

Of course, there was also their caution regarding the Ying Qin.

The Ying Qin unified the world, and the monsters and demons in various places were swept away by the Ying Qin, forcing them to hide in mountains and marshes to escape the Ying Qin's pursuit.

They hated the Ying Qin very much and all wanted revenge.

But the Ying Qin's strength was too great, especially when the army arrived; the military aura evolved, isolating the spiritual energy and laws of heaven and earth, causing their strength to decline significantly.

They could now only huddle here; this place was built by the Divine Court and was a place humans could not reach.

Feeling the gazes of the figures, Chi Yu felt immense pressure. He was just a little god who had just entered the Five Qi Morning Origin realm, and he had broken through to the Five Qi Morning Origin realm as a demon spirit, not an innate deity.

His status in this palace was still very low.

His strength went without saying.

But he dared not be negligent and hurriedly calmed his mind, saying to the High Priest, "This little god heard in the human world that the Ying Qin has promoted a new agricultural technology, which is said to be able to double the grain in the fields of the human world?"

"The person who created this technology was even promoted by that emperor of the Ying Qin to the rank of General of the Household, specifically responsible for this matter."

"Originally, this little god wanted to go and see this person, but in Xianyang City, the Ying Qin's legal net is shrouded, and this little god dared not approach, so I returned first to inform the High Priest."

"Grain increased by double."

The High Priest's expression, hidden in the black robe, changed instantly. He had lived in human kingdoms for a thousand years and knew very well the importance of grain to a country.

If the Ying Qin really promoted this technology, their national fortune would skyrocket again.

"Not bad, Chi Yu, you have performed a great service this time by reporting it in time."

"Very good!"

The High Priest's voice was still as calm as ever, but Chi Yu's originally yellow wings now turned fiery red with excitement, as if flames were faintly burning.

"Consider it a great merit. Go down."

"Thank you, High Priest."

Upon hearing this, Chi Yu hurriedly bowed.

"Everyone, you have all heard it. A new technology has appeared in the Ying Qin, causing the grain in their fields to skyrocket. Once this technology is promoted to the world, their annual grain will increase significantly, and then the population will also skyrocket in just a few years."

"In this way, the national fortune of the Ying Qin will continue to increase."

The High Priest's words left the deities, demons, and monsters in the palace silent.

"What does the High Priest mean?"

After a long time, a cold voice came out. When the gods looked, it was a graceful figure, but then the gods immediately withdrew their gazes.

"This child cannot live. Stop the Ying Qin from promoting it; otherwise, in twenty years, the national power of the Ying Qin will skyrocket by more than several times."

"You should all be clear about Ying Zheng's intentions. His heart is too big, just like Yin Shou back then. And more importantly, Ying Zheng's ability is even stronger than Yin Shou's."

"In just a hundred years, he unified the world, although the current national power of the Ying Qin is still far behind that of the Shang Tang back then."

"But our Divine Court is also far behind the period of His Majesty Tai Yi."

"If you all don't want to die in battle when the Ying Qin crusades against the Divine Court, then it is best to weaken the national power of the Ying Qin in advance. Once the national power of the Ying Qin reaches its peak, the other party will inevitably crusade against the Divine Court."

The High Priest said in a deep voice.

As a deity who survived from the end of the Xia Dynasty, the High Priest knew very well how great the potential of humans was.

During the period of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, when he had just gained consciousness, the Divine Court suffered unprecedented suppression by the human race and was once almost wiped out.

It was also because of the internal strife of the human race later that their Divine Court was able to survive. After thousands of years, they slowly recovered and then began to take revenge, causing chaos in the Great Xia.

And the appearance of His Majesty Tai Yi allowed the Divine Court to recover to its peak, faintly wanting to rule the human race in turn.

Unfortunately, Yin Shou's anti-heaven plan, at the cost of his own and the Yin Shang's national power, severely damaged His Majesty Tai Yi, causing the Divine Court to suffer heavy losses again.

Later, although they defeated the human race, they could only force the Human King to step back and call himself the Son of Heaven; they could do nothing more.

Now that the human race is flourishing again and the world is unified, if the Divine Court has no countermeasures at this time, I am afraid it will be dangerous.

Every time the power of the human race flourishes, all spirits in the world will be suppressed, and these ancient deities will suffer destructive blows from the human race.

Having experienced several human-god wars, the High Priest knew even better the terrifying strength of the human race.

Perhaps their individual strength is not strong, but once gathered together, it will be a terrifying power.

"So the High Priest's idea is to let us make a move, kill that person first, and then destroy the technology that increases grain?"

"This matter is not easy. The Ying Qin's luck legal net in Xianyang City is very powerful. Once we deities go over, we will definitely be discovered."

"And since this child is so important, I believe the Ying Qin will definitely value him even more?"

"To kill this child in Xianyang City, the price we need to pay will be very high."

Another demon said in a deep voice.

"Not bad, High Priest, this matter is not so easy to accomplish."

Other deities also echoed. Their strength was indeed good, with the lowest cultivation above the Five Qi Morning Origin, and they were all beings who had already transformed.

But in human cities, they would be suppressed by humanistic luck, and their power would also weaken.

Especially in a human capital like Xianyang, humanistic luck is even more terrifying. I am afraid that at that time, they would not even be able to exert 30% of their strength.

The human race is not without experts.

There are quite a few hidden human experts. If they are really besieged, whether they can escape is a problem.

In the past, deities were arrogant, but they all paid the price. They would not underestimate the human race.

"I am certainly aware of that, but killing this person does not necessarily have to be done in Xianyang City."

Upon hearing this, the High Priest nodded. He was certainly aware of the terror of Xianyang City; even he, a deity at the peak of the Three Flowers realm, might not necessarily be able to gain any advantage. ===== CHAPTER 355 =====
