Chapter 756 - 756 264 Ten Thousand Merits

756: Chapter 264: Ten Thousand Merits 756: Chapter 264: Ten Thousand Merits The Tongtian Sect Hierarch was just above his head, yet Li Ping’an wasn’t worried about his own safety at the moment.

He remained suspended high in the air, unconcerned with the panic among the various parts of the small world.

His mind returned to his Primordial Spirit, which settled in the Spiritual Stage, seated atop the Golden Cloud in the Lingxiao Palace.

Behind the high platform, Li Ping’an’s Primordial Spirit frowned as he looked down at the burly figure who was bound by golden chains, bowing his head in submission.

The Wild God?

As manifested by the Heavenly Dao, the Wild God is a higher-order title for those Incense Gods that were born based on the Heavenly Dao’s rules and possessed considerable strength.

The so-called Incense Gods are those spirits born from the Heavenly Dao’s acknowledgment of the wishes of all beings, the gathering of incense and merit.

Over a long period of time, they underwent a transformation.

The divine court that rules over the Southern Continent is the ‘master’ of this way.

In the contemporary Desolate Era, originally, there were no gods.

As more people believed, gods began to emerge.

Such Incense Gods, in theory, posses only divinity to protect a domain and respond to prayers for incense and merit;

yet in front of powerful cultivators, these gods often prove fragile.

Moreover, many Qi Cultivators specialize in capturing the lesser deities of mountain and rural temples to refine Spiritual Treasures.

Here, this Wild God hidden within the merit clouds had already attained considerable strength and was marked by the Heavenly Dao as a ‘Wild God.’

Wild Gods and Wild Gods are essentially creations of the Heavenly Dao;

Thus, in front of the quasi-Heavenly Emperor who ranks first in the sequence of the Heavenly Dao, this isolated and weak Wild God had no power to resist.

With just a thought from Li Ping’an, the Heavenly Dao placed the shackles on this Wild God.

However, Li Ping’an was somewhat puzzled at this moment.

He had taken this fellow into the Lingxiao Palace, but what should he do next?

Destroy this Wild God directly?

It wouldn’t be difficult; all it would take is a little of the Heavenly Punishment’s power.

But as soon as Li Ping’an had the thought, several scenes slowly emerged before him.

The ground shattered, large holes opened in the sky, the Spiritual Energy of this realm leaked away, and myriad beings perished.

[This Wild God is a being born from the resonance between the living beings, the Heavenly Dao, and this small world.

If forcefully destroyed, this small world will suffer great damage.]

That is to say, it’s best not to kill it directly.

Subdue this fellow?

This Wild God was nothing more than a creation of the Sky Amber Monastery out of thin air, originally played by a fierce demon.

Yet over time, as beings prayed, a genuine god of Tian Hu did indeed emerge within the merit clouds.

What Li Ping’an found most absurd was that the ferocious demons of this place hadn’t noticed such a thing hidden in the merit clouds.

Indeed, they could not see the merit clouds.

With a turn of thought, Li Ping’an had a plan.

He leaned back on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor and said coldly:

“You, were you the accomplices of those evil demons?”

The hulking figure of the great god Tian Hu raised his head to look at the throne, then bowed deeply in respect, crying out:

“Master, spare my life!

Master, spare my life!

This god, this god hasn’t harmed anyone…

this god is just…”

This great god Tian Hu stuttered, unable to speak clearly.

Just as Li Ping’an was about to press further, the fellow suddenly let out a howl and began to sob heavily.

The great god Tian Hu cried out, “If it weren’t for…

If it weren’t for Master Heavenly Emperor discovering this god, this god wouldn’t have dared to show his face…

Those evil demons truly kill people and set fires…

they could crush this god with a flick of their hand…”

Li Ping’an said indifferently, “Are you saying that you’ve always been hiding within the merit clouds?”

The great god Tian Hu sighed deeply with his head bowed.

At that moment, though he was the size of an ordinary human, in his eyes, the figure of Li Ping’an sitting behind the desk was as monumental as a mountain.

“Since when were you born?”

“It has been…

about twenty or thirty thousand years…

I guess…”

“Rubbish!”

Li Ping’an slammed the desk, pointing at the great god Tian Hu and scolding:

“The Heavenly Dao granted you sentience so that you would protect the beings of this land.

Have you done so?

“You reap the incense and prayers of a myriad of beings, yet you watch idly as those evil demons devour humans, turning a blind eye, being deaf to their cries, and you still claim to be true while hiding in the merit clouds!

“Is this not a grave sin?”

“Master, calm your anger!

Master, calm your anger!”

The great god Tian Hu banged his head forcefully against the ground, causing a shower of golden sparks.

“This god, this god feared they would turn on me, and feared they would drag me down with them to eat humans, so I thought of a way to scare them.”

Li Ping’an angrily retorted, “Nonsense!

When I led people to drive out those evil demons earlier, did you not see?

If you truly opposed those evil demons, why didn’t you come forward to help then?

Yet you dare to display your might before me!

Someone come!”

Oh, right, this is the Spiritual Stage, and neither Xing He nor Tingzhu are here.

But the great god Tian Hu below was already in tears, crying out:

“Master Heavenly Emperor, calm your anger!

This god truly didn’t know what was happening outside!

This god has always been too scared to probe the outside world, fearing discovery!

“Heavenly Dao can bear witness!

Heavenly Dao can bear witness!

“This god could only sneak a glimpse of the human condition through the several thousand large statues of the great god and the hundreds of thousands of smaller statues, learning about human affairs, or temporarily inhabiting the world to look out at the Vast Void, gazing towards the land of the main world.

This god…

at most, this god would hide in the statue, overhearing those evil demons plotting what…”

“Enough.”

Li Ping’an said evenly, “If that’s the case, then the Heavenly Dao will review your memories.”

As he finished speaking, Li Ping’an brought his sword fingers together and pointed at the great god Tian Hu’s forehead from afar.

He wasn’t sure if the search would work, but as the power of the Heavenly Dao was activated, his decrees from inside the Lingxiao Palace became law.

A radiant light burst forth from the great god Tian Hu’s forehead, which instantly shattered, filling the entire hall with scene after scene.

The great god Tian Hu looked up at everything around him, trembled uncontrollably, and continued to bow his head in worship, daring not to look up.

Among these images, a fair few showed scenes of thousands of people worshiping the statue of the great god Tian Hu before the god’s consciousness was born.
