Chapter 877: 776 The High God

In the vast, boundless space, a colossal body coiled. Around it were layers of clouds and mist, as if a blurry filter had been brushed over the space.

That body was extremely immense; one could not see the end of it at a glance. One could only see a head like a mountain peak, and the long, undulating body like a mountain range, invisible in its depth amidst the clouds and mist.

On the massive head, a pair of enormous eyes hung low. The eyelids had almost merged with the rough skin on the face, becoming entirely the color of the mountain, and no trace could be seen that these eyes had ever been opened.

That was a grand existence, but now it looked only like the Yituai of a grand existence. It had been closing its eyes and remaining motionless like this for who knows how many years. The clouds and mist wrapped around its body like a shroud, as if it were already a ruin, having forever become the dust of history.

However, when a trace of an imperceptible ripple appeared in a corner of the space, that huge mountain peak suddenly moved.

This movement was enough to shake the earth and mountains.

"Who?"

From the top of the mountain peak came a shocking shout that seemed to have come from the eternal past.

"Emperor, Your Majesty the High God, are you alright?" Answering him was a series of calls almost too excited to be coherent, as a bear emerged from the ripples.

This bear was considered to have a very large physique in ordinary times, but here in the Void, compared to that massive mountain, it could not even compare to a small pebble. It was like a jumping little ant, rushing to the feet of the "High God," prostrating itself in excitement.

"Emperor, your most loyal servant Pi has come to pay his respects to you."

"Pi, is it." The High God's voice softened considerably. He knew that "most loyal servant" was not some boast, but a fact. Even though he had completely retreated into the depths of the Shenguo, unwilling to see his former servants, the fact that this servant could still take the initiative to come and see him was somewhat comforting to his heart. "As you can see, I am as I was before. If you have only come to pay your respects to me, you may return now. Or rather, do you have any other requests?"

Even if the other party did not visit without a reason, he could understand; after all, this was the situation he had chosen for himself.

Tears streamed down from the round, rolling bear eyes of Pi, and he cried: "Emperor, I want to beg you to save me, to save your servants. In the days when you were not here, your servants have been bullied terribly."

"Who? Who is bullying you?" The High God was slightly angry, but immediately remembering something, he lowered his tone and said, "It is that thing, isn't it?"

Pi wept: "It is exactly that, that so-called Holy God, it is clearly an Evil God! You do not know, in the days you were not here, how arrogant it has been! It commits all kinds of evil, bullies the lower gods, usurps the authority of the Wanshendian, and plunders our believers..."

He accused that Evil God of all its misdeeds right in front of the High God. At first, of course, he was vividly complaining according to the arrangements of his new master, but as he spoke, he became emotional and sincere. After all, these things were not made up, but truly and genuinely happened; he had truly been bullied quite miserably.

"The outside is already like this, and that fellow is still not satisfied. Everyone misses the days when you presided over the Wanshendian."

"Miss me?" The High God repeated, seemingly a bit emotional, and also a bit self-deprecating. "Then let them miss me. Just like missing the naive beauty of when one was just born, but the world has changed, and we can never go back, can we?"

"..." The God Pi was a bit stuck, but then he thought of what the God Taixiong had told him: do not expect to be able to move the High God easily this time, one must be prepared to be persistent. The first time, just strive to leave an impression. So he pressed on: "It bullying us is a small matter. It drives all the gods like cattle and horses, this is also a small matter. Do you know, it wants to swallow the world..."

"I know."

"Ah? Uh..."

"Pi. There are no outsiders here, and I will not beat around the bush with you. Who would know the abominable nature of that monster better than I? However... do you think that I sealed myself here because I have the virtue of modesty?"

"..."

"Of course it is because my strength is inferior to others!" The High God's eyes opened a slit, flashing a gaze brighter than the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder. "This evil spirit harbors malicious intent and is a great scourge to the world; do I not know that? If I could defeat him, I would naturally have strangled him in the cradle! During the first round of contact, when it could still be stopped, that fool Peng held back a hand, and that already decided the fate of the world! It is too late, too late, now no one can stop it! If I could stop it, would I still be coiled here?"

In the end, that massive High God was even a bit exasperated. "You cry, do you think I do not want to cry? My years of management, the Shendian, the Shenguo, the saints, the believers... all these foundations have been destroyed in one fell swoop! If there were any way, who would be willing to hand it over to others? I originally thought that if I hid here, you would understand my meaning. You insisted on chasing me here, forcing me to speak plainly and making me feel embarrassed!"

The God Pi was dumbfounded, momentarily stunned.

Finally, the High God sighed and said: "Go back. If you still do not give up, then take your foundations and go wander in the Void as soon as possible. Although our power is not worth mentioning in the Void, there is still a glimmer of hope, which is better than sitting here waiting for death."

The God Pi stayed for a while, suddenly realized the despair, and sat on the ground wailing.

His previous crying had some elements of performance, but now it was genuine, extreme sorrow.

The High God let him cry, lowered his eyelids, and turned back into a mountain.

The God Pi cried for a while, climbed up to leave, and suddenly, he remembered something. He turned back to the High God and said: "High God... forgive my rudeness, if I... if we, these tiny insects, still refuse to give up, could you at least lend us your supreme name? Your name is like a torch, at least it can give us, in the darkness, a little light of hope."

"Hmm?"

The High God suddenly opened his eyes.

His eyes opened completely for the first time, like a pair of bottomless Black Holes: "This is not something you can say! Who told you to speak like this? You should only be able to be angry and cry, and then leave. Do you have such resilience? Based on my understanding of you, when I just told you there was no hope, you should have given up. Even... you would not have thought of coming to me for help in the first place! Who is helping you? Or rather, who is directing you?"

The God Pi was a bit nervous, but he was not troubled. Firstly, the High God was an absolute authority to him, and he would not resist. Secondly, that God Taixiong had already greeted him, saying that the High God's wisdom might see through his existence, and told the God Pi not to be troubled and that he could give him away.

Therefore, the God Pi immediately said: "It is a young new god, he is very wise and very courageous, and is a trustworthy ally." And he told him everything about how the God Taixiong came to find him.

The High God listened and said: "According to you, this young god has already prepared to see me? Then I will see him. I will take a look at him..." His huge eyes had no emotion, and it was unknown whether he was happy or angry.

Having obtained his permission, the space rippled again, and a young, handsome red-haired god walked in. He came generously before the High God, bowed respectfully, and said: "Taixiong pays his respects to Your Majesty the High God of the East."

The High God of the East sized him up for a long time, then suddenly let out a short laugh and said: "Haha, good. Seeing your appearance, I almost feel like I am seeing another Evil God."

The God Taixiong looked at the High God of the East calmly, while the God Pi said in astonishment: "Emperor, could he be a spy sent from that side?"

The High God of the East snorted coldly: "Fool, how could such a little fellow be a spy? He is young, powerful, has infinite potential, and is ambitious. He and my servants, such as a fool like you, are completely two different worlds. In his plan, you are nothing but a tool to bring him to me."

The God Pi was confused, but the God Taixiong remained very calm. Since he had come, the quality he displayed was the quality he wanted the High God of the East to see. He said calmly: "You flatter me. With my meager talent, I dare not compare myself to the Evil God, and with my heart, I disdain to compare myself to it even more."

The High God of the East said calmly: "You can quibble as you like; now I do not care about these things. You can use me, and I also want to use you. What do you want to get from me?"

The God Taixiong looked at him very calmly and said sternly: "I want to destroy that Evil God."

The High God of the East was silent; once he fell silent, he was the calm earth.

The God Taixiong said: "I consider myself an ordinary god with no great ambitions. I want to have a peaceful remainder of my life, so I want to destroy that Evil God. And if, according to your thoughts, I am an ambitious person, then in order to have a place to display my ambition, I must destroy the Evil God even more!"

"Since you can see through me, you know that if I wanted to lie low and develop, and only reveal my talent at the end, I would not have come to see you now. Since I have come to see you, there is no need to beat around the bush; I want to destroy the Evil God, and I want you to help me!"

The High God of the East was silent again, then said: "How do you want me to help you?"

Just now, the God Pi also came to ask for help, and he scolded him directly, but this time, when the God Taixiong asked for help, he was able to patiently ask for the other party's requirements.

Because he knew that the God Pi's request for help was a true request for help; he had not thought of anything at all, just feeling that he must have a way, but the High God of the East really had no way, so he broke his defense and scolded him to get lost.

And this God Taixiong's request for help was more like a polite way of saying cooperation. This ambitious and bold junior already had a plan; the God Pi was his tool, and he himself was also his tool to achieve his goal.

If it were in the past, he would have mercilessly given this guy a hard time, letting him know that even if you have any schemes, they are not worth mentioning in the face of a heaven-and-earth gap in power!

But now, at least for the moment, he had to look one step ahead. After all, there was a common enemy in front of him, and it was rare to have a guy who was on his side and might be useful, which was worth him condescending once.

The God Taixiong said: "I have some plans, but they are all risky. I am not afraid of taking risks, but I still want to ask you, in your view, is there any existence now that can suppress, or even balance, this Evil God?"

His question was just a shot in the dark, feeling that the High God of the East probably had no way, otherwise why would he be shrinking here? He waited for the High God to say there was no way, and only then would he state his own method, making the High God have to listen to his command.

However, the High God of the East half-closed his eyes, then suddenly opened them and said: "Now that you mention it, I do remember, there might really be such an existence that can suppress this evil spirit!"
