NOVPUBHis mind raced like lightning.
In Wang Ba’s mind, there immediately arose a speculation:
"The Kingdom of Immortals is heading for Huangji Continent?"
The vessel was clearly sailing eastward, and to the east of Fenglin Continent naturally lay Huangji Continent.
"Are they worried that the cultivators on Jin’s side will take action, hence they’re fleeing in advance?"
Wang Ba pondered thoughtfully.
His Spiritual Sense quietly swept through the surroundings, and among these divine temples, he clearly sensed the undisguised aura of one Evil God after another.
However, some divine temples were utterly empty, as if completely devoid of their masters.
"Most of them seem to be lower than third-level gods... have they all turned into fourth-level God Seeds?"
After occupying the Divine Position of the Yin God, he had also learned quite a few secrets about the Evil Gods.
In this realm, aside from extremely rare cases, Evil Gods could almost achieve immortality.
Of course, resurrection from death naturally came at a price, a principle of the Heavenly Dao that cannot be violated.
After the death of an Evil God, the power they had accumulated through incense fire would reset to zero, and everything would have to start over again.
And once they start over, the Evil Gods who have reverted to fourth-level God Seeds struggle to regain sufficient incense fire power.
After all, there are so many Evil Gods, and there’s a limited total amount of incense fire that must be distributed amongst them.
The Mother Goddess is impartial and does not wish for infighting among the Evil Gods; thus, she allocates the incense fire power based on the contributions of each Evil God.
Fourth-level God Seeds, compared to those second and third-level Evil Gods, have far lesser ability to earn contributions.
One step behind is indeed behind at every step.
This also caused even the resurrectable Evil Gods to be unwilling to sit and await doom.
At this moment,
a voice, difficult to distinguish between male and female and tinged with a hint of joy, suddenly reached Wang Ba’s ears:
"Thou art finally resurrected!"
Wang Ba’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The instinct from the memories of the Yin God almost instantly allowed him to recognize the owner of the voice.
"It’s the Mother Goddess!"
He immediately stood on guard.
In that instant, numerous thoughts rapidly surged in his mind.
Had his identity been recognized?
What should he do?
Escape, or...
But within a mere instant, he had calmed down.
Firstly, he had occupied both the Divine Position and the memories of the Yin God; to say he was the Yin God, there was not one bit of issue.
Secondly, in days past Han Yanzi had used some method to erase everyone’s memories of the Yin God, and given the Yin God’s previous inability to resurrect for a long time, it was evident that even the Mother Goddess had likewise forgotten everything about the Yin God.
In other words, apart from him and the now-fallen Han Yanzi, no one knew what the Yin God truly looked like or what abilities were at his disposal.
With this in mind, though still slightly uneasy, he calmed his mind and responded with the voice from his memories like the Yin God would:
"Mother Goddess above, I have returned!"
"I shall ensure the cultivator who destroyed my body will forever plummet into a dreamscape!"
Upon hearing Wang Ba’s response, there was a moment of silence from the Mother Goddess’s side. After a while, the Mother Goddess’s slightly helpless voice came through:
"Since thou art resurrected, thou should take some lessons to heart."
"I will remember."
Seeing that the Mother Goddess had not noticed, Wang Ba slightly relaxed. He then continued with the customary tone of the Yin God, feigning confusion:
"Why must we leave Fenglin Continent? And where are we headed to?"
Upon hearing Wang Ba’s confusion, the Mother Goddess’s voice was filled with a hint of helplessness:
"Thou hast just awakened and art not aware of the previous dangers. A Refining Void Cultivator rebelled against Heaven, breaking the Supreme Vault of Heaven. We were sent beyond the heavens by the cultivators, devoured by the Outer Realm Heavenly Demon. Fortunately, within the Supreme Vault of Heaven, our incense fire power was not extinguished, allowing us to resurrect."
Wang Ba feigned shock: "There was such a vicious and obstinate cultivator? The Mother Goddess has suffered!"
The Supreme Vault of Heaven is what the Evil Gods call the Will of Heaven and Earth.
The Mother Goddess replied:
"No matter, Fenglin Continent is ultimately too dangerous. Though now the Supreme Vault of Heaven no longer allows for Immortal Ascension cultivators to exist, the Jackal-headed God and Bag God reported upon their return that there seem to still be Immortal Ascension cultivators within Jin… We have already fallen to our nadir and must be cautious. We are now heading for Huangji Continent."
Pausing for a moment, she then continued:
"Thy resurrection at this moment happens to be timely to earn contributions and enjoy the incense fire."
In Wang Ba’s heart, however, a quick thought flashed through.
Based on what he knew, the Mother Goddess was the original deity who nurtured many Evil Gods of the Kingdom of Immortals. Though she lacked the power to kill, she could Empower many Evil Gods, allowing them to far surpass ordinary battle power. More importantly, before the Mother Goddess, all Evil Gods are naturally subordinate and driven by her.
This led him to conceive a rather bold idea.
What if, with the power of the Yin God, he seized control of the Mother Goddess before she could react?
Could he then control all of the Evil Gods in the Kingdom of Immortals through the Mother Goddess?
Truth be told, the idea was audacious but not impossible to achieve.
The Mother Goddess had not long resurrected and was likely, like him, currently in the stage of a fourth-level God Seed.
With his Yin God Power, there was a high likelihood that he could preemptively gain control over the Mother Goddess.
The only problem was that the position of the Yin God’s divine temple was at the very outer edge, while the Mother Goddess resided in the central divine temple and had not shown herself, also guarded by various other temples.
Under such circumstances, he feared he might be intercepted by other Evil Gods before he even had the chance to make a move on the Mother Goddess.
"I can only wait and see." 𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝒎
Wang Ba silently prepared himself.
After all, even if he failed, the impact wouldn’t be too significant; it would just mean giving up the Divine Statue body that was currently best suited for manifesting.
