Chapter 876: 775 Coming Again

"Hmm?" The Taixiong God stared at this young god he knew nothing about, his gaze filled with suspicion.

Just a moment ago, he had been quite moved because the young god had hit the nail on the head regarding his inner thoughts, but he immediately became vigilant. He was not young, and although being a god did not offer as many opportunities to hone experience in political struggle as being a human, the shrewdness he had accumulated definitely exceeded that of lesser gods like the Liujin God.

Even though he was somewhat struck by the truth, he could not simply trust a strange god he had never met and reveal his own thoughts, so he shouted sternly: "Who are you? Why do you say these things? Who sent you?"

That young Taixiong God sighed and said: "I am merely a humble lesser god, my status in the Shenjie is at the very bottom; I am not even fit to be a lackey for those great gods. Any powerful figure you would fear would never pay me any mind, and even if they were to order someone to do something, they would never order me. But even a weak individual like me has my own thoughts. I have only just been born, there are still things I want to do, lives I want to enjoy, and I do not want the world to be destroyed. So I have no choice but to risk coming out to do something."

The Taixiong God listened and relaxed slightly, but immediately frowned and said: "That's not right. Your strength is not bad at all! You are much stronger than that fool, the Liujin God. You... you are hiding your true strength!" He looked the Taixiong God up and down with a serious expression, and the more he looked, the more alarmed he became. He felt that the judgment that the other was stronger than the Liujin God was too conservative; the more he looked, the more he felt that the body beneath this young face was like a whirlpool, hiding raging waves within, impossible to see the bottom at a glance. Let alone the Liujin God, his foundation even seemed to be not beneath his own.

The Taixiong God said calmly: "I dare not say I am hiding my strength. A 'fur god' like me with absolutely no background is indeed accustomed to hiding some trump cards to avoid having no power to protect myself if I offend a powerful figure. However, what you see today is the real me that I have deliberately shown, in order to gain your trust. If I wanted to hide it from you, I could do so. I want to show my strength before you, so you know I am not some insect spouting nonsense."

He bowed deeply as a gesture of respect and said: "In any case, please give me a chance to speak."

The Taixiong God thought for a moment, put on a fierce expression, and said: "Speak if you have something to say, who is stopping you?"

The Taixiong God said: "Thank you. If you are willing to inquire, you will know that I am just a small god, and my believers come from the Fire Spirit Clan, totaling no more than a few tens of thousands. The growth of my believers relies entirely on their spontaneous reproduction. My entire focus is on this small clan; I watch every one of them be born, grow up, marry, have children, and finally die. They are like my own children. Later, I slowly grew and gained a certain amount of power. It is not that I had no opportunity to expand, but I felt it was unnecessary; things are quite good as they are now. If I expand, there will inevitably be casualties, and those harmed would all be my believers. Or, if old believers leave, new ones will come, but old people and new people are still different; they are no longer those from before. I do not want to create casualties among my believers with my own hands."

The Taixiong God listened, his bear face moved slightly, but he still tried hard to appear disdainful.

That Taixiong God continued: "Fortunately, the Lingjie is large enough to accommodate a self-contained little god like me. I thank the various high gods of the Wanshendian; although they possess sufficiently powerful strength, they have never exploited a little god like me, leaving me space to enjoy myself."

The Taixiong God finally snorted: "What kind of existence are the high gods? Why would they come to exploit you? You really think too much."

The Taixiong God gave a shy smile and said: "Actually, until three years ago, I was still living in a half-dream, half-awake state, but that great disaster three years ago woke me up. I do not want destruction, and I want to do something, but I thought, there are still more powerful forces in this world, so I should just trust them. So I remained behind closed doors. The various high gods lived up to my trust; they let the world survive the catastrophe."

The Taixiong God felt a little unnatural and said: "Hmm, yes, the world is fine, that's quite good."

The Taixiong God said: "I thought the crisis of world destruction had passed, so what else was there to fear? So I continued to sleep. However, I did not expect that in these few years, the world would suddenly change. Originally, everyone was independent, and even when competing for believers, it was based on one's own means; the loser would at most retreat, but now, there is actually some existence pressing forward step by step. It not only robs and abducts believers but also kills gods at every turn. If you do not submit to it, it seems you won't even have a place to stand. It wants to take away all the believers we have painstakingly gathered, not even leaving us the last drop of juice. It... it is an existence more terrifying than the crisis of world destruction!"

The Taixiong God was already deeply convinced at this point, but he still deliberately said: "You are going too far. If you submit to it, perhaps it will leave you some soup to drink? Aren't so many of you gods coming to me together today with exactly this idea in mind?"

The Taixiong God suddenly became agitated and said loudly: "That won't happen! I saw it before the world-destroying crisis, and at that time, I felt it could not coexist peacefully with any god. Rather than saying it wants to devour and plunder, it is better to say it was born for plunder! Devouring is its essence, its instinct! It looks like it is going too far now, but that is actually because it is not strong enough and is still suppressing itself. Once it gains sufficiently powerful strength through plunder, it will completely let go! That is when the true disaster that destroys the world will arrive!"

"At that time, it will instinctively devour everything: first believers and resources, then the Shenguo and the gods, and then the world... it will swallow everything, otherwise it will be instinctively hungry. In the end, only this mass of Luse monster will remain in the Void, like a tombstone for our world. Only when some worlds pass through the Void in the future will they think: 'So there was a Lingjie here, and gods had been here.'"

His words were sonorous and powerful. Although the Taixiong God had long held a firm opinion, he was still momentarily lost in thought upon hearing his words.

The Taixiong God certainly hated the evil god and had thought about the harm of the evil god, but he had never thought of it so clearly and explicitly. His strong opposition to the evil god was more from the perspective of the struggles in the Shenjie—supporting his own high gods and opposing newcomers—and he had not yet thought to a higher level. The Taixiong God's words poked through a layer of window paper, letting him see the bloody wounds behind the paper and the dying life, making him feel a chill, and he suddenly felt that time was running out.

That's right, what he said makes sense; I must do something, I cannot sit and wait for death!

The Taixiong God was silent for a while, then shouted: "Since you know, why act as an accomplice? So many gods came together today to kiss that evil thing's feet; surely you were involved in the networking? Isn't this just building momentum for it? Since you have a way to bring them together, why not organize them to oppose the evil god?"

The Taixiong God shook his head and said: "There is a saying: it is better to argue with a smart person than to talk to a fool. The gods who came today are all mediocre fools. Even asking them to flatter and offer tributes to the evil god in exchange for a path to survival is something more than half of them dare not do; they only have the courage when gathered together, let alone asking them to oppose such a powerful enemy. I was as cowardly as them before, hiding at home and burying my head in the sand even during the world-destroying disaster. I only barely awakened this time. I know best that such fools are useless for success but capable of ruining everything. Only true wise men and Warriors can shoulder such a task."

"A few days ago, with a trembling heart, I went to find the Liujin God. It was not that I didn't have the intention of analyzing the pros and cons and inviting teammates. However, I quickly discovered that he was so mediocre and cowardly that he couldn't even handle hearing a little bit of the truth about the world; he didn't have the ability to bear it. So I simply let him do some networking. Firstly, when I follow him to network, I can distinguish who is a truly reliable ally—after all, I have long been drifting outside the Shenjie, where would I have the opportunity to get to know powerful people? Secondly, let them build up the momentum to attract the attention of that side. This way, we have a cover when we act."

"It is a pity that after following him on such a long journey, let alone powerful people to follow, there were not even a few potential allies like you who can be trusted, or even one step further, who are clear-headed and able to listen to my analysis of the pros and cons. Perhaps 'birds of a feather flock together'; the Liujin God's level and ability are not enough to get to know true wise men and Warriors. Time is running out. After seeing you, I felt like seeing the brightest star in the night, knowing that if I didn't seize this opportunity, I would lose everything. Therefore, I came to find you with a desperate heart, just wanting to hold onto a glimmer of hope in my heart."

He spoke with utmost sincerity, his eyes both clear and firm. The Taixiong God could not help but be moved, and finally said: "Good, you have found a teammate. I have been wanting to eliminate that evil god day and night. Yes, we must take action to stop this guy."

The Taixiong God was extremely excited and shouted: "Ah, have I found an organization? Is it an alliance to resist the evil god? Where is our team? Please introduce me to it!"

The Taixiong God's expression was slightly awkward, and he said: "An organization? That doesn't exist... I know there are many gods who want to resist the evil god, but it hasn't been organized yet..."

The Taixiong God hurriedly said: "Then hurry up and organize it! Your Highness, that evil god is already openly trampling on the Wanshendian and wants to sit firmly on the throne. Once it is allowed to sit on the legitimate throne, opposing it will change from a struggle to rebellion! Now is the final window of opportunity!"

His series of analyses left the Taixiong God momentarily at a loss, and he said: "Hmm, yes, but... easier said than done? I am not familiar with organizing and networking... but you are!"

He suddenly saw the light, grasped the key point, and said repeatedly: "That's right, with a talent like you right here, why am I worrying? The organization is currently a sheet of loose sand, but in fact, it just lacks someone to connect it. I don't understand these things, but you do. Tell me, how should we proceed?"

The Taixiong God declined: "How can this be? I am merely a small god, a low-ranking one, how can I shoulder the heavy responsibility of organizing..."

The Taixiong God said: "Hey, not to mention that you, a young god, have very strong Divine Power and can by no means be measured by a low rank, your talent alone is enough to shoulder the heavy responsibility! Among the gods, there are indeed powerful ones, but there are few who are clear-headed."

The Taixiong God said: "Sigh, since you trust me so much, then may I speak boldly? First, we need a name, a banner to gather strength. The only banner I can think of is that one!"
