The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 989 The Vanity of the Divine Cauldron Spirit (2nd Update)
However, considering that these people could actually recognize it, the Divine Cauldron decided to refrain from scolding them for the time being.

However, when the spirit of the divine cauldron saw the most seriously injured person bowing in worship, it finally remembered what this sense of familiarity was!

Isn't this exactly what it saw most often when it was in the temple?

The only difference was that back then, whether it was the high priest or the temple's servants, everyone was dressed in pure white.

At the same time, everyone was clean, and each of them had been scented with spices unique to the snow-capped mountains.

These people are not only no match for the divine servants in terms of strength, but they are also filthy.

For some reason, the spirit of the divine cauldron felt a little ashamed.

The spirit of the divine cauldron wished it could turn back time and swallow all the words it had said to Yun Ran.

It would rather be misunderstood than let Yunran know that it had fallen on hard times, and that its divine servant had fallen on hard times as well.

Yun Ran had no idea that the spirit of a divine cauldron would have such vain thoughts.

The wheelchair moved to the person who had been thrown to the ground by the paper figure.

Hearing the voice, the high priest finally raised his head and looked at the woman who was even younger than his daughter.

He didn't ask who Yun Ran was, nor why the divine cauldron had become like this, nor did he ask any foolish questions like how the divine cauldron ended up here.

"Fellow Daoist, may I have a moment with you?"

From the moment he entered the courtyard and witnessed the defenses there, as well as the dense death aura and yin energy emanating from the spirit of the divine cauldron, none of it affected the woman before him.

The high priest immediately knew that Yun Ran was no ordinary person.

Yunran glanced at the High Priest, thought for a moment, and then nodded.

She wants to know more about the world and its inside stories, and it's always good to show respect when necessary.

"can."

As he spoke, the wheelchair automatically turned and headed towards the living room.

The high priest struggled to his feet and coughed several more times, blood splattering out with each cough.

Little paper doll: ……

They had just finished cleaning the yard, and now it's stained with blood and dirt again.

"Give them some medicine to heal their wounds."

Upon hearing Yun Ran's instructions, the little paper doll quickly took out several high-quality wound medicines.

The high priest and the conscious man accepted the medicine and swallowed it without any suspicion.

If this woman wanted to kill them, she wouldn't need to go through such a roundabout way.

Moreover, the divine cauldron is here. The high priest has already guessed what this woman wants to know, and he is the only one who knows these secrets.

The medicine dissolved as soon as it entered my mouth.

In just a short while, the pain that had previously felt like their internal organs were being torn apart by their injuries dissipated by more than half.

Only those who have taken these medicines know how precious they are.

As for those lying on the ground whose eyes were closed and who could not move, their mouths were roughly pinched shut by the little paper figures.

They just threw them in like they were planting beans.

The high priest straightened his somewhat disheveled clothes and looked at his companion beside him.

"Keep a close eye on them." After saying that, he quickly headed in the direction Yun Ran had left in.

When they arrived in the living room, Yun Ran was already sitting in the seat of honor, slowly sipping what appeared to be tea, but was actually a medicinal soup for healing.

The high priest looked at Yun Ran without speaking, took a deep breath, and then spoke first.

"Fellow Daoist, let me first introduce myself. I am Wu Tong, the 358th High Priest of the Temple, according to the records left by our ancestors."

A thousand years ago, the most powerful high priest in the history of the temple, Lord Wuyun, foresaw that a great calamity would befall humanity a thousand years later.

All living beings in the world will perish, until there is no living being left on earth.

Therefore, Lord Wuyun exhausted all his strength to calculate a glimmer of hope, and he dismissed everyone in the temple.

He left only a group of men for his most valued and trusted disciples, so that they would guard this place for generations to come.

At the same time, the position of high priest was also passed down, along with a booklet containing a formation that required nine people to sacrifice.

The booklet states that if one day we discover that the prophecy orb he left behind has shattered, then that will be the moment for us to launch our final attack.

The other servants of God did not know why, but as servants of God, the most important thing was to be loyal and obedient, and to do as they were told.

Only the high priests of each generation know that when we arrived here, the sacred cauldron was also lost.

The remaining people in the temple had no idea what was going on; they simply assumed that the divine cauldron had been stolen.

After Lord Wuyun passed away, the power of the temple also collapsed.

Even my ancestors were branded as traitors.

We've been here all these years, living like ordinary people.

However, as time went by, the resources that our ancestors brought with them were long gone.

If we live like ordinary people, we will not be able to obtain better cultivation resources.

Later, our ancestors stopped us, their descendants, from cultivating other skills and instead focused solely on cultivating the book left behind by Master Wuyun.

Perhaps even Lord Wuyun didn't anticipate that we are currently too weak; we simply cannot utilize the full power of the book he left behind..."

At this point, Wu Tong paused and looked up at Yun Ran's expression.

They discovered that Yun Ran showed no surprise whatsoever, remaining as calm as a mannequin.

Wu Tong immediately understood that what he had said was not the key point for this woman whose strength was unknown.

He immediately got straight to the point.

"Lord Wuyun's prophecy is that evil spirits and monsters will destroy this world."

No one knows how this prophecy was spread. Later, countless sorcerers began a frenzied hunt for demons, monsters, and evil spirits.

Whether they are birds and beasts or plants and trees that have become spirits, they will all be targeted for extermination.

They believed that as long as they killed them all, there would be no more threats.

Some sorcerers immediately used this prophecy as an excuse to fight for power and profit, and even the imperial power at the time was overshadowed.

Those who were deprived of power were naturally unwilling, but they had no choice. In the end, they turned their anger towards the temple.

The records of the temple, and its former glory, have all been erased, becoming an unspeakable past.
