God of Pets

Chapter 702 Disappointment
As the old woman spoke, she pointed her cane forward, and the mystical light emanating from her body also extended its arm and pointed forward.

The cane in her hand suddenly dispersed, turning into black wooden rings. These rings connected together to form chains, binding Chen Guan and Shang Ziyi's bodies.

“Young people, you do not know the greatness of the gods, so ignorance is no excuse, and the gods will not blame you. Now that you have witnessed the power of the gods, it is time to rekindle your faith in them and make humanity great and glorious again.” The old woman looked at the two people who were locked up, her face full of divine pride.

Chen Guan's eyes gleamed strangely. He didn't look at the old woman, but instead looked into the wooden house.

Chen Guan originally thought that the power of the Mystic God that the old woman borrowed was actually just the Mystic God giving her power through an avatar, and that the real Mystic God was not there.

But when the old woman actually used the power of the Mystic God this time, Chen Guan discovered that the source of her power was actually the deities she worshipped.

This discovery surprised Chen Guan greatly, or rather, delighted him.

So he didn't dodge, letting the chains bind him.

This is a hidden realm; with his power, nothing can threaten him anymore.

Seeing that Chen Guan did not dodge, Shang Ziyi assumed that Chen Guan wanted to know just how powerful this thing was, and a competitive spirit arose in his heart.

Chen Guan neither dodged, avoided, blocked, nor parried, and so did he.

"Old woman, are those gods inside the altar?" Chen Guan asked the sorceress.

The sorceress nodded and said, "Originally, the gods should have been worshipped in the temples, but the descent of the Sky Spirit destroyed all the temples. In order to preserve the gods and hope for the resurgence of human civilization in the next era, we could only demote the gods who had the ability to change the situation to their positions and hide them in a remote place. This is how we escaped the Sky Spirit's pursuit and were able to preserve the incense offerings."

Chen Guanting's eyes shone even brighter, and he asked again, "Could it be that your entire civilization has only left behind these few gods?"

“It’s already a great achievement that these have been preserved. You have never seen the Sky Spirits, so you don’t know how terrifying they are. They are beings that even gods have to fight desperately to contend with. In that battle, countless gods perished…” The sorceress recalled the past, a strange fear appearing in her eyes.

Chen Guan was slightly disappointed upon hearing this, but he immediately became happy again. Now he could confirm that those secret gods were indeed residing in the divine positions. In other words, there were actually hundreds of secret spirits at the level of secret gods in those hundreds of divine positions. What a fortune that must be!

Normally it's not easy to find even one Mystic God, but here there are hundreds of Mystic Gods left over from ancient times.

If we kill them all, who knows how many pets, secret skills, or secret techniques we could get?
Although Chen Guan has quite a few Mystic Pets, who would complain about having too many?
Even if they don't release pets, releasing some secret techniques or skills would be good, as Chen Guan doesn't have many secret techniques of the highest quality.

Although a single Mystic Technique may not be as powerful as some combined techniques, wouldn't it be even more powerful to combine Mystic Techniques into a combined technique?

It's a pity that so few mysterious deities remain now. One can imagine that there must have been many more in the time of the sorceress.

If you look at it that way, that era was quite remarkable.

Chen Guan was in the mood to listen to the sorceress recount her past, but Shang Ziyi had no such patience. He coldly looked at the sorceress and said, "There is a reason for extinction. Things that have been eliminated by the world should disappear into the long river of history, or be hung on the wall for people to mourn. Those ancient things are no longer applicable to this era. The gods in your eyes are nothing more than pets now."

"Insolence! How dare you insult the gods! Do you really think I have to pass on my skills to you? The restrictions have been broken. From now on, I can freely choose my successors, not necessarily you. It's only because you are the first humans to arrive here that I've shown you so much favor and patience. Don't take other people's kindness for granted..." The sorceress was enraged, and the wooden rings and chains immediately began to contract, tightening continuously, binding the two people's bodies. She was punishing them. Shang Ziyi said calmly, "Haven't you considered why those restrictions disappeared?"

"Those restrictions were set up by the gods to prevent them from being discovered by the celestial spirits. They should dissipate over time. You just happened to be there. You don't actually think that it was your power that broke the restrictions, do you?" the sorceress said coldly.

Seeing her stubbornness, Shang Ziyi said no more, but instead unleashed a powerful burst of energy from his body, which transformed into light that shone brightly.

Shang Ziyi exerted all his strength and forcefully pried open the wooden ring chain.

"Open it for me!" Shang Ziyi said coldly, his power erupting and directly shattering the wooden ring chain, the wooden ring breaking into pieces on the ground in an instant.

"This...how is this possible..." The sorceress stared wide-eyed in horror, looking at the wooden ring fragments scattered all over the ground in disbelief.

This is the power of a god; how could it possibly be destroyed by a human being, a human being without divine protection, simply by using his power?

"This person's power... can it really rival that of a god?... Impossible... absolutely impossible... Without the protection of a god... it's impossible for a human to possess such power..." The sorceress couldn't believe it, she couldn't believe such a thing could happen.

Ding ding! Ding ding!
While the sorceress was still in a daze, she heard a tremor inside the temple, and the altars inside shook.

Before long, one after another, mysterious spirits flew out of the divine throne. Hundreds of mysterious spirits rushed out of the wooden house and surrounded Shang Ziyi.

"Humans... who sincerely worship me... I can grant you the power of immortality..."

"Human...you should worship me...I can give you the greatest destructive power..."

"Humanity……"

Each of the mysterious spirits, like gods vying for believers, spread their glory and greatness towards Shang Ziyi.

Chen Guan stared at these mysterious spirits, initially somewhat dazed, but then disappointment gradually crept into his eyes.

He had thought that era must have been incredibly brilliant, but when he actually saw these spirits, he discovered that most of them, who truly regarded themselves as gods, looking down on all living beings, were nothing more than possessing extraordinary qualities.

Only a very small number of them are at the Mysterious God level; there are probably fewer than ten Mysterious Gods.

"It turns out that most of the so-called gods of that generation were not even secret gods, but just some peerless beings. And these were the beings they believed could be left to the next generation, allowing the next generation to rise again."

"If that's the case, then in that era, they probably regarded any spirit as a god."

Chen Guan had come to a complete understanding that not all generations were as brilliant and glorious as the generation of the Great Xia King. The generation of the sorceress was just an ordinary generation, nothing compared to the modern era.
