Chapter 153 Revolution against the Gods (13)

"You're too smart, even smarter than Wu Yao."

"My visit this time wasn't actually my grandmother's idea; I just wanted to get to know you myself."

After a long silence, the kingfisher finally spoke again.

"You should know who your opponent is this time, right?"

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have gone out of your way to get rid of that silly cat Xi Luo, and you wouldn't have said these things to me."

"But I still have to tell you that your opponent this time is indeed a god in person."

"Although the Qingmu Clan is not as powerful as the Houtian Clan, you are also unable to draw upon the power of the dragon veins of the entire Hundred Mountains this time..."

The sound suddenly paused. The kingfisher looked at the composed Li Boyang, and for a moment it was uncertain whether its judgment was correct.

After all, before this, the kingfisher had never expected that someone would be able to use the power of the dragon veins of the entire Hundred Mountains to fight the enemy.

"Never mind, whether you can draw upon the power of the dragon vein or not, Aoki is a true god."

"A god, especially a god who is desperate, is capable of doing anything."

Selectively ignore the meaningless advice in the kingfisher's words.

Li Boyang merely raised an eyebrow slightly, keenly catching the key words.

"put all one's eggs in one basket?"

"It seems that something major has indeed happened in the Ghost Kingdom, so much so that even the Five Gods are helpless?"

Having finally confirmed one of his guesses, Li Boyang even threw the Heavenly Fate Bone Armor as evidence.

"Since you've already brought this up, can you reveal a little more?"

Speechless as she watched Li Boyang push his luck, the kingfisher finally realized who Xi Luo's recent changes resembled.

Do you know the origin of the Five Gods?

After another moment of silence, the kingfisher looked at the village in the mountain valley getting closer and closer, and finally let out a long sigh.

"A thousand years ago, before the Guifang tribe was even the Guifang Kingdom..."

"At that time, the Houtian clan was not even the real Houtian clan, but an ancestral god who could barely protect the clan and tribe."

"He cannot summon storms, nor is he qualified to command thunder..."

"Compared to mountain gods and river gods in a broader sense, Houtianshi at that time was just a pure primordial god."

"Perhaps after thousands of years of sacrifices, the Houtian clan will transform into a god who controls storms and thunder..."

"But before that, all He could do was be a willing but powerless ancestral god, the embodiment of the resentment and grievance of the innate saints after their death."

Kingfisher glanced at Li Boyang, who was listening intently, and sighed again.

"Then, the Gui Rong clan appeared..."

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

No one knows the origin of the Gui Rong clan.

No one can even be certain whether Gui Rongshi was the original god of the Gui Fang tribe.

The only thing the kingfisher was certain of was that it was from the time when the Gui Rong clan was enshrined as a deity by the Gui Fang tribe that the Hou Tian clan gradually began to become the embodiment of storms and thunder.

What was originally a symbol of fear for the Guifang tribe became their true god at that moment.

From the most primitive ancestral gods, to becoming local land gods who protected the area, and then to ascending to become celestial gods who symbolized natural disasters...

The Houtian clan spent nearly a thousand years successfully completing its transformation.

This also transformed the Guifang tribe into the powerful Guifang Kingdom of today.

During this process, the Aoki clan, the Tunchao clan, and the Hijikata clan also joined the Oni-fang Kingdom in various ways, together forming a complete system of five gods. However, not long after Li Boyang defeated the Houtian clan...

A massive religious reform, specifically targeting the Houtian clan, suddenly swept through the territory of the Guifang Kingdom.

With the full support of the ruler Chongming, all altars and temples dedicated to Houtianshi were smashed.

The altars and temples of the other four gods were also affected, and many were destroyed in the massive reform.

But that's where the strange thing happens.

This is a world where gods truly exist, and the Five Gods are even celestial beings who surpass ordinary gods.

Faced with this act of tarnishing their own reputation and destroying their own temple, the five gods surprisingly remained eerily silent.

"That sounds a bit unbelievable, doesn't it?"

With slightly surprised eyes, Li Boyang was truly stunned this time.

Although the Destiny Bone Armor can perform divination, it is essentially "big data divination" rather than true prophecy.

Since the situation of the Ghost Kingdom and the Five Gods is unclear.

Li Boyang never imagined that in this era where gods were the main characters, there would actually be mortals who would start a revolution against the gods.

The most outrageous thing is that the five gods remained silent throughout, which makes it obvious that there must be a lot of shady dealings involved.

"It sounds incredible, but it's true."

"But if you don't see the Five Gods as a whole, you'll realize that this is actually a very normal thing."

The kingfisher's voice was unusually calm, and it showed no emotional fluctuations as it recounted this history.

Since she had already decided to tell Li Boyang about the origins of the Five Gods, she naturally wouldn't hide any details.

"In most cases, Houtianshi can represent the five gods."

"Just like when you fought the Five Gods last time, all three gods except for Gui Rong Shi made a move..."

"But if unexpected circumstances arise, there will be conflicts of interest among the five gods."

Upon hearing this, Li Boyang immediately recalled the situation at that time.

He felt at the time that the relationship between the five gods was abnormal—the Gui Rong clan seemed to have a tendency to quietly replace the Hou Tian clan as the main body.

"The essence of this reform... is a divine war instigated by the Gui Rong clan?"

"So that's why the other gods stood by and watched all of this happen?"

They neither confirmed Li Boyang's guess nor denied his idea...

The kingfisher simply told the truth about everything it knew.

This red-haired boy with divination abilities would naturally try to verify the truth.

"The Hijikata clan were demons and gods created by the Oni-e clan using the Prison Soul Cauldron. They were born with immense power, but they had lost all reason and were uncontrollable..."

"Only the Houtian clan can drive the opponent with absolute power, making them the biggest unstable factor in the Five Gods system."

"Tunchao was once Houtian's nemesis. Although he has now submitted to Houtian, no one knows what he is really thinking."

"Not to mention the Gui Rong clan, whose status in the Gui Fang Kingdom is second only to the Hou Tian clan, and who even has higher prestige than the Hou Tian clan in their own domain of authority."

"Among these five gods, only the Qingmu clan and the Houtian clan have the closest relationship..."

"Therefore, if a conflict were to actually break out among the five gods, the Qingmu clan would be the most likely to become a staunch ally of the Houtian clan."
