Summit of the Old Gods

Rou Paperman!

This is indeed an Evil Demon.

Yu Changsheng's expression was serious: "It is impossible for the Ran Sect to eliminate all God Demons before the fifteenth of next month, so we can only recruit some, kill some, and grow stronger during the process."

Yu Changsheng paused, speaking with determination: "Among all these God Demons, which one is not full of sins?

Nu Ying also allows chaos in the Human World, she cannot escape responsibility, but she remains the most special among the God Demon camp.

If the Sect Leader only goes to find her, it will instead convey our tough stance to the God Demons."

The warriors listened silently, nodding in agreement.

Yu Changsheng shifted his tone: "But if the Ran Sect goes to recruit the Rou Paperman, the God Demons will know they have choices, they have backups!

In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures are required.

Sect Leader, this may save millions of lives on the fifteenth of next month."

The words fell, and the garden was silent.

Lu Ran's mind was filled with the image of the woman wearing a distinguished phoenix crown and draped in a Big Red Robe.

Elegant and noble, with magnificent bearing.

Suddenly, Jiang Ruyi lightly flicked her fingertips, and the tiny human figure on it fluctuated up and down.

"Ru... Ruyi?" For some reason, Lu Ran suddenly felt caught.

Standing on his girlfriend's fingertip, his head was filled with thoughts of another woman...

A bit thrilling.

He turned to look, only to see the Divine Statue expressionless, with large eyes staring at him, making Lu Ran's scalp tingle.

Then Jiang Ruyi said: "Mr. Cong Long is right, if powerful God Demons like Nu Ying and Rou Paperman turn to the Ran Sect, it would be significant."

"Hmm..."

"Think about those Weak Gods." Jiang Ruyi, insightful and perceptive, interpreted the strategist's intentions, "Even if they are not enslaved by strong Gods, they at least look up to them.

Since Weak Gods can submit to strong Gods, as long as we give them a way, they could naturally also submit to the Ran Sect."

Lu Ran thoughtfully nodded in agreement.

Indeed, the Ran Sect cannot clear the Three Realms overnight, this war will inevitably have a process.

No one can judge how long it will last.

And during the "regime change" process, weak God Demons may pose little threat to the Ran Sect, but their harm to the Human World is immeasurable!

In extraordinary times, indeed extraordinary measures are needed.

Seeing Lu Ran nod, Yu Changsheng's heart settled: "Rou Paperman has always shown particular favor to the Sect Leader, even low-level Evil Demon minions do not want to harm the Leader..."

"Get to the point!" Lu Ran suddenly interrupted.

Yu Changsheng paused before saying: "If you, the Sect Leader, personally step forward, everything will be twice as effective! Our Ran Sect should be able to establish contact with the Rou Paperman.

We all know that the God Demons form small groups based on their mountain locations.

Rou Paperman is strong, the undisputed leader in her Divine Mountain! As long as she is willing to cooperate, the group of God Demons in the Divine Mountain should stand with us."

It makes sense!

Lu Ran nodded secretly, realizing progress must be step-by-step; at this stage, you can't expect all the God Demons in the Divine Mountain to openly defy the First and Second-class Gods.

But as long as on the fifteenth of next month, during the invasion, they put in minimal effort, it can reduce human casualties in extraordinary times.

Yu Changsheng added more fuel: "Sect Leader, since we've come this far, your Silent Night Blade should be prioritized, we must eventually show our hand.

If the Ran Sect wants to compete with the God Demon camp, your Domain of Silent Night will be crucial!"

Nearby, Deng Yuxiang's voice came: "Are you saying that we need to cooperate with Nu Ying while smashing her Divine Weapon and taking her Divine Weapon Domain?"

Yu Changsheng ignored Deng Yuxiang, who kept looking up at Lu Ran, face solemn: "Sect Leader, I'm confident in you!"

Lu Ran: "..."

Can I really?

You seem more confident than I am?

Lu Ran calmed down, speaking: "I'll go discuss with the Immortal Sheep, and you all should thoroughly explore the upcoming tasks, always ready for battle, we can return to the battlefield at any time."

"Yes!"

"Understood!"

In the small courtyard of Luoxian Residence, Lu Ran opened his eyes.

Nearby, Qiao Yuansi still held the Cloud Sea Dust Clearing Sword, looking somewhat dejected.

Now she has become a god and really wants to share the joy with her mother, she is not greedy, even a word of praise from her mother would suffice.

Unfortunately, her mother has never acknowledged the Sword Spirit.

"You should come back first." Lu Ran reached out to take the Cloud Sea Dust Clearing Sword.

"Hmm." Qiao Yuansi pouted, her Divine Soul separating from the tiny human figure, not fully emerging before Lu Ran absorbed it into his eyes.

The scene was particularly shocking!

It seemed as if Lu Ran was some demon, facing a living person, directly extracting their soul bit by bit...

"Immortal Sheep!" Lu Ran looked up at the mighty Divine Sculpture, "Disciple just discussed with the subordinates..."

As the plan was fully revealed, the Lord God did not send down a message.

No opposition?

Then it's tacit approval.

Lu Ran hesitated for a long time, then clasped his hands together and respectfully bowed: "Immortal Sheep, based on your understanding of Nu Ying, do you think the disciple should appear before her?

Is there a possibility she might collaborate with the Ran Sect, or will she inform the God Demons and expose the disciple's identity?"

Finally, the Immortal Sheep sent down a message: [Nu Ying is a warrior.]

Upon hearing this, Lu Ran looked up at the Divine Sculpture.

[No matter if it is in her homeland before God and Demon, or in this realm, Nu Ying is a warrior.]

Lu Ran's eyes flickered slightly, his heart growing increasingly eager to try.

The Immortal Sheep let out a long sigh, putting away the usual sinister smile, sarcasm, and other expressions, seemingly in contemplation: [Nu Ying is a very pure being.]

"Pure?" Lu Ran raised an eyebrow slightly.

It's hard to imagine such a word being used to describe a deity.

[Nu Ying was born bearing a mission, existing till now, she has always focused on one thing: defeating the Faceless Jade Venerable.]

"Oh?" Lu Ran's eyes lit up.

The Immortal Sheep said calmly: [She has many similarities with you, having her own obsession, her vision, her work that must be completed.

Thus, she has extraordinarily powerful strength but always stays away from the core of decision-making.

Gods and demons harping on their own machinations, scheming and doubting each other, all of this is despised by Nu Ying.]

Lu Ran has already made up his mind!

Yu Changsheng has always been targeting the character and conduct of gods and demons, as well as their actions, as Ran Sect's cooperative target.

The Immortal Sheep, by the background of Nu Ying's birth and struggle, personal aspirations, etc., helped Lu Ran to completely lock onto this target.

[It's a pity that the Jade Venerable is strong, forcing Nu Ying to accept the help of gods and demons, while the gods and demons also need a sharp blade.]

Saying this, the Immortal Sheep let out a cold laugh: [A blade that doesn't vie for power, just wants to kill and defeat, resulting in the current situation.]

Lu Ran licked his lips, excitedly said: "Ran Sect differs from the gods and demon faction, on our side we have everyone united, without those scheming entanglements.

If I give full support to Nu Ying, joining her to point our swords at the Faceless Jade Venerable, she should be willing to accept, right?"

[Though she's within the gods and demon faction, she doesn't remain loyal to them.]

"Good! Good good good!" Lu Ran said repeatedly, nodding his head continuously.

[Heh.] The Immortal Sheep chuckled coldly again, [Similarly, she will find it hard to stay loyal to you or any faction.]

Lu Ran's face turned serious.

[As I mentioned earlier, she's a pure warrior who came to the world with a mission, hence she will only be loyal to herself.]

Lu Ran followed the Immortal Sheep's reasoning, nodding: "Loyal to the obsession in her heart."

The Immortal Sheep responded lightly, seemingly satisfied with Lu Ran's reply: [She doesn't reject comrades and desires those of like-mindedness. You can also find clues from the divine technique of Nu Ying's faction about this point.]

Lu Ran quickly searched his mind.

Indeed, the divine technique of Nu Ying's faction, Black Armor Same Suffering, is the best example.

Disciples of Nu Ying's faction can actively tear apart their war armor, let the blood scatter into mist, any fellow disciple stained by the blood mist will enter the "Same Suffering" state, sharing mutual damage, while their attack carries a bloodsucking effect (absorbing life force).

[If Nu Ying recognizes you as qualified and determines you are like-minded, perhaps your tactic of forming alliances could succeed.]

Lu Ran: "..."

What kind of talk is that!

This is called uniting all forces that can be united, alright!

Lu Ran pondered for a moment, then asked: "What about Rou Paperman, can disciples seek her out? How is her position within the gods and demon faction?"

[Hehe.] The Immortal Sheep suddenly laughed.

It was not a cold laugh, nor did it carry usual sarcasm or mockery, just a light laugh.

Lu Ran was a bit bewildered.

Whenever he communicated with the Lord God, he could usually roughly gauge the dominant Sheep General's intention from the tone.

But this time, Lu Ran couldn't grasp it at all.

[Everyone should walk their own path.] The transmission fell, and his voice grew smaller and smaller, giving a sense of gradual departure.

Lu Ran's expression turned odd.

Speaking well, why suddenly turn away?

Is it jealous?

Remember the time when Rou Paperman fought with you for disciples on the God Worship Platform, and now the disciples voluntarily seek Rou Paperman…

Could cold Sheep be really getting jealous?

Lu Ran was lost in thought, deeply bowing to the Immortal Sheep God Sculpture, then called forth an Ancient Bronze Mirror.

In one step, he was at Tianya Haijiao.

He plopped down at the edge of the cliff, closed his eyes, and entered the Sculpture Garden.

"No matter what plans you have, listen to me first!"

Lu Ran stood on the tip of the Evil God girlfriend's finger, the heated discussion in the Sculpture Garden instantly fell silent.

"I just consulted with the Immortal Sheep." Lu Ran's gaze swept over everyone, finally locking onto Yu Changsheng's face, "Mr. Cong Long, about Nu Ying, we must go for both, huh?"

Yu Changsheng responded seriously: "Yes!"

Lu Ran looked determined: "Then I'll take the Silent Night Blade, appear on the Heavenly Realm Battlefield, and actively draw Nu Ying over."

"Ah?"

"Young Master, you..."

"Quiet!" Jiang Ruyi frowned lightly, uttering a somber command.

Lu Ran said in a deep voice: "The Immortal Sheep pointed out the way for me, to win over Nu Ying, there are two hurdles to clear! Firstly, we must ensure she recognizes I have absolutely sufficient qualifications to fight alongside her!"

Destroy Nu Ying's Divine Weapon, seize the Divine Weapon Domain.

A head-on confrontation!

What better proof of oneself than this?

The Immortal Sheep mentioned that Nu Ying is a pure warrior.

Then let's play something pure!

...
