I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

Coastal City, Observatory.

Lin Yan's face was extremely grim.

This matter is extremely complex, a seemingly perilous ambush.

But in the end, it turned out to be just a probe by the Medicine Gatherer!

This was the opponent's first move, not even personally taking action, merely testing his skills.

Yet it has already left his brother in such a state.

"Can he be saved?"

Lin Yan was silent for a moment before asking this.

"Throughout history, no human from the Human Clan, once turning into a Physical Body Evil, has ever been restored to their original state."

Lord Lu said softly: "Your cultivation years are not long, but you should feel this journey even more profoundly than I do!"

Lin Yan closed his eyes slightly.

In this era, even the pure Human Clan, even the Immortal Gods, are eroded by strangeness.

This era is a giant dye vat filled with ink.

Only white cloth gets dyed black.

No black cloth can return to white in a vat of ink.

Even those so-called Celestials, part of their former Physical Body Evil, have forcibly merged countless different souls, memories, thoughts, emotions, desires, to form a brand-new life through the Gate of Tao!

Such Celestials can hardly be considered Human Clan!

They are evil spirits gathering myriad strange thoughts!

It's just that the Gate of Tao forcibly molded their bizarre shells into human form!

"The branches of Wutong Divine Mother's body suppress his soul, not completely eroded by the strange Qi Mechanism, which is why he can barely maintain his sanity."

Lord Lu said: "When you slew the Medicine Gatherer attendant in the South Sea, I had already exhausted all Mana in the Taiji Yin Yang Bottle to stabilize his sanity..."

Lin Yan's expression slightly eased upon hearing this.

He knows that Lord Lu's Mana is vastly different from the world's other Refining God Realm powers.

This is an opportunity bestowed by the Wutong Divine Mother.

Every wisp of Lord Lu's Mana can fulfill his words.

If not limited in the Refining God Realm, it could almost be Words Become Law.

"But you also know, in this era, even Divine Spirits can only retreat from the world to slow the erosion and cannot reverse it."

Lord Lu said: "I only delayed his transformation, but his Physical Body can't be saved."

Little White Ape said softly: "If he had cultivated a Primordial Spirit, he could be like the Alliance Hierarch, sealed in the Ice Hell, waiting to enter the Rejuvenation Pool..."

Lin Yan's gaze slightly focused, suddenly taking out a ball of light.

Lord Lu showed an unusual expression, saying: "What is this?"

Lin Yan said: "Heavenly Talisman! Ancient Practitioners, Merit Perfection, blessed by Heaven, escorted to ascend! In this era, ascension isn't possible, but..."

He looked at his confined brother, reaching out to place the Heavenly Talisman on his brother's forehead.

"The Physical Body can't recover, but the Qi Mechanism of this Heavenly Talisman can stabilize his soul."

Lin Yan said softly: "The Qi Mechanism of the Heavenly Talisman can't help him achieve a Primordial Spirit, but as long as it allows his soul to be as stable as a Primordial Spirit, he can detach from the Physical Body and temporarily reside in the Ice Hell of my Inner Realm Divine Domain, waiting to enter the Rejuvenation Pool..."

Saying this, he couldn't help rubbing his forehead with his fingers.

Beneath his forehead lies the Heavenly Eye.

He once used the Demon Suppression Divine Power to eliminate the strange Qi Mechanism contained within the Heavenly Eye.

But his brother is not a Divine Spirit after all!

Though he could suppress the strange Qi, his brother could not survive.

Whether the Heavenly Talisman can maintain his brother's soul as stable as a Primordial Spirit, even he is unsure.

But at this moment, it's the last resort.

"Lord Lu, please take care of my brother."

Lin Yan left Little White Ape here as well, calmly saying: "I'm going to take a trip to the Temple."

——

The Temple in Coastal City.

This Old God was not in slumber.

Its intention to protect the Human Clan wasn't as strong as Liu Zun of High Willow City.

Even the overseas assassination attempt showed traces of this Divine Spirit.

The reason Qiao Jing was able to escape from the last Commander's hands was not unrelated to this Old God.

As the Saint Master of the era, and the Inspection Envoy of the Observatory's Three Prefectures, this Temple had no reason to stop Lin Yan.

The Great Temple Priest wanted to enter the hall with the Saint Master but was blocked by the Saint Master.

"I have matters to face the Divine Venerable alone."

Lin Yan stepped into the great hall, waved his hand, casting Mana, enveloping in all directions.

He looked forward coldly.

The Divine Spirit of Coastal City appeared in human form, with a green snake on each ear and a red snake at each foot.

Lin Yan stood before this more than ten-zhang-tall Divine Statue.

The statue remained unchanged.

Moments later, Lin Yan's forehead suddenly glimmered.

The texture cracked, releasing golden light.

The third eye directly stared at the Divine Spirit before him.

Boom!

The next moment, the Divine Statue radiated golden light, incense smoke appeared.

"Saint Master..."

This South Sea God, with a complex expression, sighed.

"What?"

Lin Yan sneered: "Your incense Divine Thought has been suppressed until now, and in recent years, the Old God's thought has controlled your body, wantonly developing Tribulation Ash, even sending out Magic Treasures and Divine Powers, repeatedly attempting to assassinate me, the Saint Master of the Human Clan... and now, I've come personally, yet he dares not kill me himself nor face me?"

"He is bound by the old covenant, unable to make a direct move against you. Now knowing the Saint Master is coming, he dared not confront your Heavenly Eye's power, and has voluntarily fallen into slumber."

The South Sea God sighed: "This time, he fell into such deep slumber that he'll not awaken for thirty years! For the next thirty years, I can take charge of Coastal City, which also counts as the Saint Master's might, blessing these people…"
