Chapter 1653: Chapter 1653: This Place is Called the Ranking of Gods!

"Greetings, True Lord!"

At this moment, the Mighty Spirit God and Su Mei unexpectedly spoke in unison to pay their respects.

After speaking, the Mighty Spirit God looked stunned and turned to Su Mei: "You actually know the True Lord?"

"I was fortunate to meet him once at the Bodhisattva’s dojo back in the day—it’s unforgettable for a lifetime!"

As she spoke, Su Mei was overwhelmed with excitement.

This was none other than the most terrifying War God of the Heavenly Court, Erlang Shen Yang Jian, famously known as the War God of Guanjiang Pass!

One man, one dog—invincible under the heavens!

Ordinary people could hardly imagine his majesty!

"So, you are...the nine-tailed fox under Guanyin Bodhisattva?"

Yang Jian thought for a moment, then spoke softly: "Why are you here?"

Su Mei had been carefully observing Yang Jian’s expression. When she noticed that he carried no particular attitude when mentioning her identity, she secretly sighed in relief.

Indeed, the rumors she heard from Emperor Rose might not necessarily be true!

"Yes, True Lord. I met Jiang Xiaobai in the Bamboo Forest..."

Su Mei briefly recounted their past encounters, leaving Yang Jian slightly surprised: "You little rascal even have the assistance of the Spirit of Heaven and Earth?"

"Ah, yes, I do..."

Jiang Xiaobai had snapped fully awake and was now extremely tense.

This was none other than the legendary War God, Yang Jian!

"The Spirit of Heaven and Earth is indeed extraordinary. Utilize it well—it will be of great help to you."

Yang Jian spoke calmly, then turned to the Mighty Spirit God: "You may leave. I will explain the rest to them."

"But True Lord, I..."

"It’s fine. The timing should be about right."

Ultimately, the Mighty Spirit God obeyed with clasped hands and turned to leave.

Yang Jian did not speak further but instead led the pair deeper into the heart of the Emperor’s Mausoleum.

Along the way, Jiang Xiaobai spotted numerous gravestones, almost all belonging to divine officials he knew from the Heavenly Court.

If Yang Jian was still around, then these individuals must certainly also exist!

Jiang Xiaobai felt a surge of excitement within: "Damn it, I should have realized this when I first entered! If they are still alive, then there’s definitely a way out!"

"What made you suddenly decide to come to the Emperor’s Mausoleum?"

Yang Jian suddenly asked with curiosity: "You didn’t sense anything during past visits. Did someone from the Earth Immortal realm tell you this time?"

"No, no... I just had my doubts and came this time to probe a little, ha-ha! It’s nothing, True Lord, my apologies for the imprudence!"

Jiang Xiaobai scratched his head, forcing out an awkward laugh. He would rather die than admit that he knew about the Fengshen Bang!

Given the knowledge surrounding that artifact, a mere deduction would reveal much—but in this era, aside from beings like Su Mei, who else could know about the Fengshen Bang?

Moreover, Su Mei had never mentioned this matter to Jiang Xiaobai!

Yang Jian stood frozen on the spot.

So essentially, he had been tricked out of hiding by this mischievous rascal?

Yang Jian’s lips twitched involuntarily. Think of it—the mighty War God Yang Jian, played for a fool by such a little fellow...

"Ahem, True Lord, it’s not like what you think. I merely suspected that the Mighty Spirit God might be withholding information. I genuinely didn’t know you were all still alive!"

As soon as Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking, he wished he could slap himself. Damn, he had just exposed the truth!

The phrase "you were all still alive" carried too much weight.

Sure enough, a playful smile emerged on Yang Jian’s face as he glanced at Jiang Xiaobai: "It’s fine. Let’s keep moving. I’ll explain more when we get there."

"Um... Actually, I’m not particularly eager to know all these things. I mostly came hoping to find a way to solve my lifespan problem."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian fixed his gaze on Jiang Xiaobai, instantly discerning the state of his lifespan.

"So that’s the case..."

Yang Jian took another look and then placed a hand on Jiang Xiaobai’s shoulder, pondering for a moment. After silently reflecting for a while, he suddenly smiled.

"Fate works in mysterious ways. You won’t die, you rascal."

"Huh?"

Jiang Xiaobai was startled: "What do you mean, True Lord? Could you explain a bit more clearly? You’re making me anxious here."

"’Won’t die’ simply means you won’t die. Let me put it this way: your cause and effect are incredibly strong, the strongest I’ve ever encountered. Naturally, this is because you’re involved in so many matters. However, having such profound cause and effect means your survival is guaranteed."

Yang Jian laughed: "It’s like going to a fortune teller—what’s written in your destiny is inevitable and unchangeable. Unless, of course, you defy fate itself, but the outcome of that would be anyone’s guess."

As he spoke, Yang Jian maintained a mysterious smile: "You, rascal, have so much more to go through."

"Stop overthinking. Just follow me."

True to his word, Yang Jian ceased speaking further, leaving Jiang Xiaobai trailing him with a puzzled mind.

Cause and effect entanglements ensuring he wouldn’t die?

What did all of this mean now?

Could it imply Yang Jian’s statement about Jiang Xiaobai’s survival meant an existence in a different form?

Before long, Yang Jian suddenly stopped. Jiang Xiaobai and Su Mei immediately noticed an enormous formation ahead!

Jiang Xiaobai was awestruck by the terrifying energy emanating from the formation, his eyes widening in disbelief.

"What on earth requires such a formation to seal it?"

"It is the origin of everything."

Yang Jian spoke softly: "The events of that year all stem from them. For now, it’s better that you don’t know too much. I brought you here just to let you witness it."

Roar!

As soon as Yang Jian finished speaking, a thunderous roar erupted from the formation, shaking the heavens and earth.

Jiang Xiaobai and Su Mei even felt their very souls nearly being ripped away by the force!

"Such powerful soul waves—what in the world is this?"

The Purple Heaven Primordial Spirit stirred in Jiang Xiaobai’s mind, seeking an answer.

"How should I know? Probably those extraterrestrial beings."

Jiang Xiaobai replied, then looked toward Yang Jian: "True Lord, is this the extraterrestrial enemy that fought against the Heavenly Court in years past?"

"Yes, but not as you currently understand them. Back then, some extraterrestrial beings did not perish completely; they merely existed in a different form."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai immediately thought of the Yan Heavenly Clan and its allied races.

And the true masterminds hidden behind those clans!

"The extraterrestrials suppressed here—are they so formidable that even you couldn’t eliminate them?" Jiang Xiaobai pressed further.

"We could kill them, but there’s no need."

Yang Jian smiled faintly: "As long as they live, we have a chance to turn the tide. Now that you’ve seen this, it’s time I told you some truths."

As Yang Jian spoke, his expression gradually grew serious, an intensity that made Jiang Xiaobai involuntarily feel nervous.

"This place is not the Emperor’s Mausoleum. It has another name—Fengshen Bang."

Boom!

Jiang Xiaobai’s mind felt like it exploded!

Good heavens, the Fengshen Bang had actually been brought out?

"I knew it—so that’s what it is!"

At this point, Su Mei, standing to the side, trembled with excitement, breathing heavily: "If not for the Fengshen Bang, you True Lords wouldn’t be like this."

"The Fengshen Bang can lock our souls eternally, never allowing them to perish. As long as there is enough energy, we can revive."

Yang Jian nodded: "However, ever since that war, the heavens have been in turmoil, the Heavenly Dao damaged, and the Fengshen Bang’s energy absorption weakened. But thanks to your actions, the world has been gradually recovering, and the Fengshen Bang is absorbing at a much faster rate."

Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow: "In other words, you all might rise again?"
