Chapter 975: Chapter 854: Jiazi Year, Great Fortune Under Heaven (Part 2)

"The world only thinks that the Sun Family knows how to ward off disasters, but not a single one was warded off voluntarily by us..."

"Now, this world’s surplus is destined to die, destined to be sacrificed to those calamities below, yet you not only protected them but also exterminated all the gods in the world. Now the things underground are going to come out..."

"..."

"I understand this principle."

Listening to the secret revealed by the Sun Family’s hall official, Floral Carving Wine, standing under an umbrella, seemed unsurprised, merely glanced slowly across them and said: "Du Yi Prefecture’s case god, human skin ledger, it’s all just balancing accounts with Tai Sui."

"That’s why from the beginning, the Sun Family was never considered a rival."

"Or rather, the magic duels with the other ten surnames started after the Shangjing magic conference."

"But the duel with your Sun Family began the moment when the pond god was born and returned the gods to the people."

As he talked, he faced the entire Sun Family, with its dozen Shangqiao masters, with a kind of condescending attitude: "Returning the gods to the people, that’s to break this account!"

"As for now..."

He also looked from this high platform to that vast, white earth, observing the slightly weak but pure incense slowly rising, not like the Sun Family in despair, but showing a gratified smile.

Then, he looked down at the seven large flags on the high platform, and said in a deep voice: "False gods are slain, people’s hearts return."

"Sun Family, do you still want to try again, continue to bring calamity upon Ming King and the world’s surplus, see the consequences?"

"..."

"Whether we take action or not, what’s the difference?"

The Sun Family’s lord only now showed a bitter expression, raising his head. The seven large flags on the high platform, although no one was casting magic, were already slowly swaying, floating up.

He said softly: "The things below are coming out to take the offerings themselves..."

Floral Carving Wine merely smiled, gently spinning the umbrella in his hand, saying: "Then let’s see if this umbrella can block them!"

Boom!

Along with the dialogue, as Er Guotou in Menghu Pass slays all the false gods, this world had thirty-six places suddenly erupting with billowing black air, like black rainbows emerging, reaching deep into the sky’s vault.

Among them even included Lingshou Prefecture’s Dongzi Li Family.

The world might be full of false gods, but as long as they exist, the weight of this world becomes heavier.

The things deep within Dongzi won’t easily emerge before the deaths of the Dongzi Li Family in Lingshou Prefecture.

But now, with the slaying of false gods and the new gods of the world being still weak, it seemed as if these thirty-six places simultaneously lost their seals, the endless black air began to rise.

This struck the evil sky, ghost land, splintering it, full of devastation, wavering and about to collapse.

This is the most feared thing for the Sun Family’s benefit.

The other nine surnames mostly had already stolen power for themselves, their greatest pursuit being to control the Eight Sceneries of Netherworld to benefit their descendants.

Only the Sun Family was different, they guarded Wangxiang Platform, seemingly possessing all the blessings of the world, but in reality, the Sun Family’s rise was because they dealt with calamities, exhausting their blessings in that process.

They must hand over as many people as the calamities wanted; if too many were harmed, it then harms the heavens, requiring blessings to fill, calculating the account inside and out, the Sun Family had never gained an advantage, hence many were madmen.

But they didn’t expect to see such a scene.

When the rolling black air shot straight into the skies, there was also curling incense arriving, in which naturally there were such virtual shadows, naturally appearing in front of these Ghost Caves.

They were pure, not even seeming like true living beings, not needing any willpower to drive them, born just to ward disasters and bring blessings, detecting the holes in the world, naturally blocking the calamities about to emerge.

These existences may seem weak now, but the No-eating Bull Disciples, holding green incense, traversing the world, naturally brought more incense to the hands of the people across all provinces and towns.

Naturally, incense converged, from ancestral halls, old fire pits, even outlying graves and wild hills across the world, emitting strands of green air, converging and blocking the Ghost Caves.

The old fire pits of the world were connecting into one.

The old fire pits could protect humans because they are transformations of ancestors. Once the world was suppressed from calamities by ancestral altars, now it was centered around the magic altar set by Er Guotou in Menghu Pass, beginning to suppress world calamities again.

No fierce confrontation, no shrill shouting, everything only in silence.

The people in the human world couldn’t even perceive the change, just felt tranquility and peace.

...

The Sun Family’s benefit trembled lips, for a long time before someone struggled to climb up and stood on the high platform, looking at the human world, merely blinking eyes in confusion, wondering what to do.

Like waiting for the world’s end, instead finding sunlight falling, it’s time to go to work, go to school.

They had a feeling of bewildered calm, not knowing what to say.

Only the Floral Carving Wine by their side was unsurprised, gently stowing the umbrella in his hand, while the wind and snow in the air did not once more fall.

With the umbrella on his back, he pulled out the first flag planted by the Sun Family here, breaking it with a knee, throwing it aside, then pulled out the second flag, slowly saying: "Calamities are harsh, even Lord Mansion’s wandering gods would stay away to avoid polluting the magic body."
