Chapter 1288: Chapter 461: The Divine King’s Father

Just this?

The high-level decision-makers of the Celestial Court, is this really their level of power?

Li Ping’an grabbed the gray-robed elder, looking at the group of deities scattered by him, feeling as if he had punched cotton with all his might.

The battle earlier was not intense.

He took advantage of the situation, directly targeting the highest-ranked gray-robed elder. The deities tried to block him but were struck so hard that the clouds shattered, and figures were thrown about.

The gray-robed elder seemed only to know how to wield his sword and summon lightning, without any magical combat techniques.

The Human Race battle techniques Li Ping’an employed were the pinnacle techniques honed since ancient times through relentless fighting. They crushed these deities like dead wood.

Before integrating into the Celestial Court system:

The deities of the Celestial Court were bound to the Southern Continent, able to mobilize a vast amount of the power of heavenly scourge, backed by the thick incense and merit in the sky above the Southern Continent, making them quite troublesome.

After transforming into the great god of the mysterious turtle and integrating into the Celestial Court system:

“These Celestial Court deities… they aren’t tough at all.”

The power of heavenly scourge was ineffective against Li Ping’an.

— ‘The great god of the mysterious turtle’ entered the Celestial Court, and his internal Xuantian Tower could be freely wielded in the Southern Continent, while these deities were completely unaware of the existence of such a heavenly treasure as the Xuantian Tower.

The strength of the deities was only equivalent to that of Golden Immortals, Taiyi Realm Qi Cultivators.

— The Phoenix Clan Battle Body could slay Da Luo; it was equivalent to one and a half times the power of the Primordial Phoenix body.

Combining the battle body with a treasure of the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Emperor and the great god of the mysterious turtle resonated with each other;

Li Ping’an successfully became a ‘bug-level’ existence in the Southern Continent’s Celestial Court.

Subsequently, Li Ping’an discovered a problem.

He still couldn’t directly kill these deities.

At this moment, he was holding the neck of the gray-robed elder, ready to crush this high-ranked deity just below the Divine King, but as soon as he harbored a murderous intention, the Heavenly Dao would forewarn of imminent disasters in the Southern Continent.

To eliminate one of the thirty-six high-ranked deities, a random reward would be an earthquake or wildfire in a densely populated area, a tsunami, or a meteorite.

‘Is there some procedure to follow?’

Li Ping’an was a bit confused.

He pondered slightly, looking down at the various deities of the Celestial Court hiding in the clouds below, thinking about how to proceed next.

According to his original plan, he needed to influence the Celestial Court with the name of Holy Mother Nuwa, using the power of the Heavenly Dao to interfere with the Celestial Court’s operation, using descendants of Nuwa to appear and issue Nuwa’s decrees, integrating the mysterious turtle into the Celestial Court.

But now, he had entered the Celestial Court through their own methods, effectively taking down half of the Celestial Court.

How should he conclude this?

Li Ping’an intentionally showed his divine might in front of the Divine King, actually having his own considerations.

If he could change the mindset of the people in the central area of the Southern Continent and the thoughts of the Shang King through today’s chaos, it could mitigate the issue of human sacrifices in the Southern Continent to some extent.

The Southern Continent is indeed too barbaric now;

Why not let royal power eliminate divine power early and enter the feudal society stage?

The human sacrifice stage of the slave system is really a bit beyond Li Ping’an’s moral baseline…

“The Divine King… the Divine King will punish you…”

The gray-robed elder said softly.

Li Ping’an felt something and looked up at the clouds above.

Golden auspicious clouds covered the sky, revealing traces of a divine temple, with several old Divine Kings and several handsome men and beautiful women standing in front of the temple.

High-ranked gods appeared together, each lower deity holding a weapon.

However, these deities didn’t attack the mysterious turtle stone pillar in the corner of the Celestial Court.

Li Ping’an looked expressionless at the few old Divine Kings, feeling a slight pressure, and thoughts were rapidly turning in his mind.

If these old Divine Kings acted together, he would fight with all his might. Even risking severe injury to his battle body, he would defeat these old Divine Kings, letting the Southern Continent endure a certain degree of disaster, suppressing the remaining deities.

Divine King Shaohao spoke slowly: “Great god of the mysterious turtle, are you dissatisfied with the Celestial Court?”

Li Ping’an raised his eyebrows slightly.

Emotion.

He sensed abundant emotion in the words of this Divine King, who was also apprehensive of him, even somewhat afraid.

The corners of Li Ping’an’s mouth turned into a teasing smile, looking up at these deities above.

Divine King Shaohao tightly gripped the longsword that represented divine authority.

Li Ping’an frowned and asked: “Shaohao, do you really not recognize me?”

Divine King Shaohao stared at the bare-chested young man below.

The world fell into a deathly silence.

After about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Divine King Shaohao’s low voice spread everywhere: “Father… I am no longer the world’s leader when I was human. After I died, I was worshiped by people and thus became a deity. With only vague memories, when I awoke in the Celestial Court, the world had become so narrow, therefore, I am not Shaohao.”

“No, you’re wrong.”

Li Ping’an said softly:

“You became a deity, but you can’t avoid these few questions.

“Who are you, where did you come from, where are you going?”

Divine King Shaohao was stunned for a moment, bowing his head and beginning to ponder.

Li Ping’an glanced at his teammates hiding in the Temple of Nuwa, secretly transmitting inquiries to Xuanyuan Huangdi: “Senior Brother, Senior Brother?”

“What?” Xuanyuan Huangdi responded somewhat irritably.

The cause of his irritation was, of course, the ‘eldest son of the Huangdi’ above.

Li Ping’an asked: “How did you address Shaohao? I can’t really overturn the Celestial Court today, so I need to find a way to slaughter gods without causing disaster.”

Xuanyuan Huangdi also remained silent for a while.

He had already understood what Li Ping’an wanted to do. Although he felt a bit uncomfortable inside, he also knew that things had changed utterly. This Divine King Shaohao was no longer the Shaohao of old.

Xuanyuan Huangdi sighed softly in transmission: “Xiao Zhi, Ah Zhi, these… he’s called Zhi, Ji Zhi.”

Resourceful?

It’s typical of Xuanyuan Huangdi to come up with a profound name.

Thus, Li Ping’an took a deep breath, looked up into the sky, with a bit of helplessness, a bit of reluctance, a touch of warmth in his eyes, and softly called out:
