NOVEL NEXT Chapter 808: Three-Day Pact
"Mount Tai God, do you mean that when you're undergoing tribulation, you'll invite us?" someone asked tremblingly.
The others looked expectantly at Mount Tai God; watching a tribulation, especially that of a Divine Beast, was such a rare opportunity!
Just like how Xue Tianyan's tribulation was crucial for the players back then.
The Divine Beasts were excited...
Mount Tai God nodded: "That's right, I invite all of you."
The group of Divine Beasts immediately rejoiced, shouting, "Mount Tai God is so righteous!"
"Mount Tai God is truly a model among us!"
"Mount Tai God, your great kindness is beyond words!"
"Mount Tai God, rest assured, we will guard you on that day. Any who dares disrupt will be seen as enemies of all us Divine Beasts!"
"Correct!"
The Divine Beasts shouted in unison.
Mount Tai God said, "This is what I ought to do. Next, let's proceed to the next activity.
According to the usual rules, those with grievances or needing mediation can step forward and speak.
My personal suggestion is for everyone to let go if possible; turning hostility into friendship is best.
After all, we are Divine Beasts, and we share a common enemy.
Players are growing rapidly, especially those who have successfully ascended; once they return, they will be a devastating disaster for us.
If we cannot band together, in the future, we will be no different from minor foes!
Moreover, there is a worst-case scenario."
Peach Blossom Immortal asked, "What scenario?"
Mount Tai God said with a face full of melancholy, "With system upgrades, I'm afraid that in the future, even if players slay us, it would result in one hundred percent death!"
Mount Tai God's words shocked the group of Divine Beasts.
Peach Blossom Immortal said, "No way, right?"
With a hint of bitterness, Mount Tai God said, "Why impossible? Everyone, have you forgotten our origins?
We are not life between heaven and earth; we are merely a heap of data generated by the system.
Who would care about our lives and deaths?
Even our appearances are generated by the system based on players' culture, background, identity, and bloodline.
We were originally meant to be void.
So, being slain by players and becoming void—is that very strange?"
The Divine Beasts fell silent.
Mount Tai God continued: "Moreover, not just us, even players can die, right?
We have many ways to erase a player permanently, so if we are erased in the future—is that strange?"
Everyone grew even more silent.
Yi Zheng furrowed his brows too; although he wasn't system-generated, does it matter to the system whether one is system-generated or not?
It seems the system simply—doesn't care!
Thus, what they feared, Yi Zheng also worried about.
So Yi Zheng called out: "Mount Tai God? What you said makes sense, but if our strength doesn't keep up, just banding together is useless, right?"
The Divine Beasts looked at Mount Tai God, agreeing deeply with Yi Zheng's words.
Mount Tai God shook his head: "I don't know, it's better than nothing.
After all, banding together still holds a chance.
Of course, I have some leads, but I need a little time..."
Nine Yin God said, "What are the leads you mentioned?"
Mount Tai God looked into the sky: "I am divining heavenly secrets, the success is not far off, maybe within these days!"
Everyone's hearts trembled, Nine Yin God's eyes were glowing: "You are going to divine it?"
Mount Tai God nodded: "Yes, but there's currently no result yet, I need a bit more time."
Catfish God laughed: "Everyone's already here, waiting these few days won't matter, why not wait here for the result?"
Upon this, everyone shouted in unison, "Makes sense!"
"Yes, we've come all this way; what's a few more days?"
However, some shouted: "Though a few days don't matter, I wish everyone not to mess around at night."
Some Divine Beasts with average strength echoed: "Yes, yes, otherwise we might as well leave now."
Mount Tai God said: "The first night's hunt is to eliminate unqualified trash who cannot enter the venue.
They've been eliminated, so naturally there's no need for further slaughter.
Everyone, this god also wishes for peace, don't kill unnecessarily from now on."
After he spoke, Mount Tai God looked at Nine Yin God, then glanced at Yi Zheng and others.
Barks-at-heaven dog immediately shouted: "Must support! I love peace most, and hate slaughter!"
Yi Zheng also shouted: "Me too, I've always hated two things my whole life; first, others killing me! Isn't peace good?"
Barks-at-heaven dog frowned: "Rabbit, you've only mentioned one, what's the other?"
Yi Zheng shook his head: "Better left unsaid."
Jidian fanned himself cheerfully: "This monk has renounced the world, hates fighting and killing most; valuing peace is indeed good."
Many responded with a big eyeroll, evidently having suffered much at this bald guy's hands.
Mount Tai God looked at Nine Yin God.
Nine Yin God snorted: "If it were any other day, I would surely not listen, but today is different. Since Brother Mount Tai spoke, I must give face."
Others called Mount Tai God a god respectfully, only Nine Yin God called him brother, showing he places himself on equal footing with Mount Tai God, not hiding his ambition at all.
"Show-off..." Yi Zheng and barks-at-heaven dog muttered ventfully.
"Hmm?!" Nine Yin God glared angrily.
Yi Zheng and barks-at-heaven dog promptly changed the topic: "What's for dinner tonight?"
"How about catfish and tofu stew?" Yi Zheng suggested.
Catfish God glared: "Hmm?"
Yi Zheng immediately said: "Never mind, tofu stew it is."
"Hmph!" Catfish God withdrew his gaze.
Mount Tai God nodded: "Since no one objects, let's settle it then.
Give this god three days.
In three days, I should be able to reach a conclusion!"
The Divine Beasts said, "Mount Tai God, we'll wait for you three days!"
Mount Tai God nodded: "Then the previous conflicts?"
The Divine Beasts shook their heads: "Let's pretend they never happened!"
"With the impending catastrophe, those minor squabbles can be set aside for now."
Yi Zheng also shouted: "Yes, yes, it's just a few insults; I'm magnanimous and not angry!"
In response, over a hundred Divine Beasts glared angrily, thinking, "A few insults? You've been scolding us the whole time!"
They felt increasingly annoyed at this rabbit...
Yet in the end everyone chose to swallow their annoyance.
Mount Tai God nodded, then vanished into a wisp of green smoke.
Yi Zheng muttered: "This is?"
Barks-at-heaven dog said: "Just a clone; his true self is likely still divining heavenly secrets."
Yi Zheng's heart tensed; the presence that had just suppressed everyone was merely a clone? How frightening would Mount Tai God's true self be?
Tugging at his big ears, Yi Zheng fell into contemplation: "Hmm... best behave from now on, just in case...won't be any accident!
I'm really so well-behaved!"
From a distance, however, a pair of cold eyes watched this side, with a killing intent lurking!
