Chapter 906 Remaining Calm Even When Mount Tai Collapses Before You
After looking around, the noisy scene quieted down considerably.

The leaders of each faction slowly moved forward and gathered at a table.

The Celestial King counted the number of people; once everyone was present, he nodded.

"Everyone, you've come from afar, thank you for your hard work."

The Celestial King seemed oblivious to the noisy, unfavorable gossip surrounding him; a warm smile graced his face.

This reaction startled the gods, who were full of ulterior motives.

They hadn't expected the Celestial King to react so calmly.

The group had initially thought that if the Celestial King were to get angry and make a pledge, there would be plenty of room for maneuver if he failed to fulfill it. However, the Celestial King managed to control his emotions very well. Not only did he not show any signs of agitation, but he also praised everyone a couple of times.

This approach completely baffled the gods.

"The Heavenly Chant has been heard by everyone. We don't know who the owner of that voice is yet, but we can be sure that our prestige has basically vanished."

"If we want to continue acquiring source power, we have to do it ourselves. But doing so will create a vicious cycle. Everyone, in order for us to continue to develop, you all have to contribute."

The Immortal Emperor emphasized the last few words, and a touch of coldness appeared on his otherwise imposing face.

Both Zeus and Odin knew very well who these words were meant for.

He was somewhat displeased, but he didn't show it and even considerately agreed with the Immortal King's words.

Exactly, there was a bit of a barb in those words.

"For thousands of years, no one has ever dared to challenge the majesty of us gods. Qin Zhu is truly unbelievable. I've known him for so many years, and I never thought he could do something like this. Immortal King, if I were you, I would be heartbroken."

Zeus's words carried a hint of irony, but it wasn't particularly obvious.

Odin was immediately delighted upon hearing this, stroking his beard and instantly grasping Zeus's meaning.

"Let's not talk about this. It'll hurt feelings if we do. Being sad won't help. Even if it was a mess caused by the Immortal King's negligence, we still have to solve it together, right? We gods are all one family."

The words may be harsh, but they are all the truth.

The Celestial Emperor simply smiled at this.

"I wonder if any of you have investigated the person who spoke?"

When it came to serious matters, Zeus, Odin, and the other leaders of the gods immediately shut their mouths.

Investigate who manipulated Buddha's dangerous remarks? Where are you even going to investigate?

The time required to travel from the upper plane to the Nine Netherworlds is not short.

By the time their people arrived at the scene, there was no trace left to be found.

It's normal to not know the answer to every question.

Silence won't do, so the Immortal King spoke first.

"What the ants of the lower planes think of us is a trivial matter. Those who are not convinced will submit once they are beaten hard. But you guys..."

As he finished speaking, the Immortal King's voice suddenly rose, and the powerful divine energy emanating from his body burst forth without reservation.

"Don't you all know who did it? Do I need to say more?"

The existence of Anxing is known to all the gods.

However, they were unable to uncover any information about this organization. Over time, many members of the gods even became unwilling to accept the existence of this organization that was secretly stealing their resources right under their noses.

"We've avoided talking about the existence of that mysterious organization for so many years. It's so obvious that Qin Zhu is a member of it, yet you still refuse to admit it? Do you really think that Qin Zhu, with his strength alone, would dare to betray us? Is that even possible? It's obvious that the mysterious organization is behind him. What, are you trying to evade this issue?"

"Could it be that some of you are members of this organization, or are you planning to wait until that mysterious organization takes everything from us before you realize what's going on?"

The Immortal King slammed his hand on the table in front of him.

With just one palm strike, the stone table was reduced to dust.

This palm strike caused divine power to ripple outwards, impacting every high-ranking god present.

The gods, especially those who were planning to cause trouble, were all intimidated by the Celestial King's imposing aura.

Seeing that no one spoke, the Celestial King raised his right hand and pointed his finger at Hades, the god of the underworld, in Zeus's camp.

“You have a lot of dealings with Jiuyou, so don’t try to make excuses for me. You are the one to investigate what exactly happened to Jiuyou.”

Hades was stunned when he was given the order. Before he could react or offer any explanation, the Celestial King pointed his finger at Zeus.

"Since you belong to the same camp, the task of providing assistance will be left to you Olympus members. If you fail to complete the task, the resources available to you will be reduced in the future."

Seeing the Celestial King's arrogant demeanor, Zeus was furious. Just as he was about to explode, he met the Celestial King's unquestionable gaze, and his anger instantly subsided by more than half. He swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

“Odin, don’t you have a lot of messy settings in your camp? Go find someone. That guy has the souls of Wuzhiqi and Sun Wukong inside him. If you can bring this kid back, you should be able to get information about that mysterious organization.”

You know what, a Celestial King is indeed a Celestial King.

At crucial moments, they can not only use their powerful aura to quell the chaos, but also rely on their superior intelligence to complete a reasonable and near-perfect plan.

Odin had intended to join Zeus in making things difficult for the Celestial King, but unexpectedly, he was once again overwhelmed by the Celestial King's imposing presence and obediently followed his orders.

"you"

In just a few minutes, the Celestial King handed over the detailed tasks to the gods of each faction.

The following day, the headquarters secretly reorganized.

Ruolan gave Lin Yi an "ugly" level ring. The reason she didn't give him the highest level of authority was partly because Lin Yi's divine power level wasn't very high, and partly because Lin Yi hadn't been with Dark Xing for very long.

She said things like, "Don't mind," but her eyes were full of envy for Lin Yi.

Having worked for Anxing for so many years, and having to be wary of investigations by the gods, Ruolan has sacrificed far more than just thousands of years.

How could she possibly imagine that a young man from a lower plane could achieve in just twenty years what she had spent thousands of years trying to accomplish?

"Thank you, Sister Lan. With so many tasks to do, it's really kind of you to make this trip. I'll have to thank you properly when I get back."

These words were a polite habit that Lin Yi had developed before he transmigrated.

Who would have thought that such polite words would be taken seriously by Ruolan?

"Hehe, since Brother Lin Yi is so kind, I can't refuse, can I?"

While Lin Yi was completely bewildered, Ruolan quickly disappeared, giving Lin Yi no chance to back out.

"You're too nice."

Looking in the direction of the sound, Xi Yue had already changed into a set of battle armor.
