Chapter 168 Devouring Skulls, Slaying Gods, Choices (Have a Great Weekend)
The moment the high priest finished speaking, a murderous aura filled the air!
On the altar, the dilapidated and decaying body held Luo Fan's head aloft with its left hand.

At that moment, a brilliant red light burst forth from the center of the skull's brow, and mysterious inscriptions quietly emerged.

Li Wushou saw it clearly; this inscription was the mysterious talisman that the High Priest had drawn on Luo Fan's forehead with his own blood from between his eyebrows inside the ancient temple.

Li Wushou suddenly recalled the scene where the High Priest had also drawn talismans on the foreheads of Luo Wen and his wife.

Comparing the crimson inscriptions constantly appearing on Luo Fan's gigantic body, as well as the mysterious crimson runes bursting from the bodies of the gods in his belly and at his feet, all of Li Wushou's conjectures were finally confirmed!

Ten years ago, the Ancestral God Glazed Tree originally chose the son of Wu Xing Situ as its vessel.

The High Priest originally intended to turn the Minister of Martial Law against the ancestral god and have him kill the ancestral god who had stolen the legacy of their ancestors!
But after some probing, Wu Xing Situ's blind loyalty made him give up!

Perhaps because he was unwilling to accept his fate, the High Priest first swallowed the seeds of the two gods that were derived from the ancestral god, and nurtured his own two gods!

A year later, he manipulated his son and daughter-in-law with secret methods. Before the ancestral gods moved to their new positions, he devoured the son of the Minister of Martial Punishments. The two ancestral gods were also eaten by the couple!
In this situation, the couple should have surely died, but the high priest offered his two own spirits to the ancestral god, thus saving their lives.

Li Wushou guessed that the Grand Priest must have promised the ancestral gods that he would use his son and daughter-in-law as vessels to nurture the two gods and give birth to another son. Then, after being nurtured by two generations, the two gods would be the natural vessel for their grandson once he was born, and he would be even more docile!
Based on what the Grand Priest just said, the Ancestral God must have been suffering from the backlash of the two gods for a long time, and therefore agreed to the Grand Priest's suggestion.

The so-called order to stay away from home was just an excuse for the High Priest to manipulate Luo Wen and his wife, as well as Luo Fan!

In this way, he not only gained prestige within the clan but also earned himself more space.

The ancestral god thought that by controlling the Luotou clan, he could control the Grand Priest!
The ruthlessness and intelligence of the High Priest far exceeded his expectations!
So that night in the ancient temple, the high priest was manipulating his grandson Luo Fan to devour his parents, because in his plan, he needed to control the two ancestral gods through his son and daughter-in-law!

Once Luo Fan swallows his parents, he can seal the two ancestral gods through that mysterious talisman.

Just now, the two gods of the Grand Priest were being tempered by the Ancestral God. It seemed that they were being devoured by the two ancestral gods, but in reality, it was the two gods of the Grand Priest who were manipulating the two ancestral gods!
Otherwise, why would the two gods, who were dissatisfied with the ancestral god's enslavement and devouring of the clan, roar and shout that it wasn't enough after swallowing their clansmen?

That was clearly the High Priest satisfying his own desires!
He hated not only the ancestral god who enslaved the Luotou clan, but also these ignorant, cold-blooded, and apathetic clansmen.

So when everyone was celebrating, Li Wushou noticed a hint of elation and madness on the Grand Priest's face. Had he already prepared to devour these people?

Although it was done through the ancestral god, it was merely going with the flow!
As for Luo Fan himself, after nearly ten years of refinement and arrangement by the High Priest, he had already firmly controlled him, and the High Priest had even used his blood from between his eyebrows to inscribe a large number of mysterious talismans in his body.

Just like the Ancestral God Crystal Tree, which forcibly extracts the power of the two gods to supply itself by locking them in through its roots.

The High Priest used his grandson Luo Fan's body as a prison, locking the Ancestral God Crystal Tree in its place!

At the same time, the talisman between Luo Fan's eyebrows was different from the talismans between his parents' eyebrows, and Li Wushou guessed that in addition to their master-servant relationship, they should also be able to cooperate as a set.

When they exist alone, they are inconspicuous, but when they are combined, they begin to show their power.
Therefore, after Luo Fan successfully flew his head, the High Priest held Luo Fan's head in his palm.

What a great high priest!

Li Wushou sighed once more!
Li Wushou even admired this ruthless determination to kill the ancestral god!
Li Wushou has always had a natural indifference to human life, but he asked himself honestly, he shouldn't be able to be as ruthless as the Grand Priest!
After all, those were his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson who revered him!
Recalling his several conversations with Luo Fan along the way, he could deeply feel what kind of seed the High Priest had planted in his grandson's mind.

Become the bravest child in your tribe!
He did it, and he was very happy!

He couldn't wait to share this joy with the High Priest and his parents!

But he fell into a deep sleep!
His joy was evident on the High Priest's face, though their joys were clearly different.

Li Wushou's expression was cold. He didn't care whether Luo Fan lived or died, just as he didn't care whether the Luo Tou clan lived or died. But this way of doing things made him a little angry!
The High Priest was in high spirits at the moment and naturally had no interest in what Li Wushou was thinking.

Not to mention that he didn't know Li Wushou had already guessed the general outline of his scheme, even if he did know, what could he do?
A person whose fate was already sealed doesn't need his attention anymore. At this moment, he has only one thought: to kill a god!
The talisman between Luo Fan's eyebrows finally appeared in full, shining with a brilliant red light, and the net-like patterns spread from the talisman between his eyebrows to his entire head.

The red patterns, like a net, enveloped Luo Fan's head, then transformed into a stream of light and flew away from the High Priest's palm.

Li Wushou wanted to stop it, but he was helpless! He couldn't understand the power of the talisman and couldn't break it.

From the moment Luo Fan's head fell into the High Priest's palm, his fate was already sealed!
Or perhaps, his fate was sealed from the moment he was born!

The giant python, its flesh and roots intertwined, thrashed about, and the High Priest opened his mouth and swallowed Luo Fan's head whole.

His gaze was icy, unwavering in the slightest!
Suddenly, the wrinkles on the High Priest's face were swiftly smoothed out, and a mysterious crimson talisman appeared between his brows. Red lines spread from his brow, reaching even the fleshy roots beneath his head!
Li Wushou looked closely and saw that the flesh and blood roots were indeed connected to the feet of Luo Fan!
However, the Ancestral God Glazed Tree's perception was clouded by Luo Fan's physical body, which is why it couldn't figure out how the High Priest used the power of the gods beneath his feet!
"Crackling sound~ Crackling sound~"

The ground shattered, and fleshy roots shot up, the powerful force dragging out the roots that had been lying dormant underground.

"Boom~"

Roots sprouted from the ground, passing through a corner of the ancestral hall, and several houses collapsed instantly, along with the gate tower that had just been severely damaged.

The High Priest disregarded everything and, controlling his flesh and blood roots, charged toward the Ancestral God Crystal Tree!
Charging alongside him was the god within his belly, bound by the roots. At this moment, a mysterious talisman also appeared between the god's brows, echoing the talisman on the High Priest's brow! The Ancestral God Glass Tree struggled to drag the roots, but could not budge an inch!
Luo Fan's physical body was like a giant cocoon, binding him tightly inside, making him unable to move!
Gazing at the head of the high priest so close at hand, the ancestral god suddenly let out a hoarse, desperate shout:

"Losang, you dare to kill a god?! Don't forget!"

Flesh and roots held aloft the High Priest's head, his eyes cold, as he murmured:
"Die!"

As the voice faded, the two symmetrical barbs on either side of the High Priest's head suddenly grew wildly, transforming in the blink of an eye into two sharp claws engraved with talismans.

The moment the claws appeared, ignoring the cries of the Ancestral God Glazed Tree, they slashed across the sky with both hands, their sharp energy even tearing apart the void.

“Crack! Crack!!”

With two crisp sounds, the cries of the Ancestral God Glazed Tree ceased instantly.

Two gaps suddenly appeared at the root connecting Luo Fan's physical body and at the main trunk of the glass tree.

Apart from the roots that remained inside Luo Fan's body, the entire glass tree was cut in two by the god beneath his feet!

The god in the belly and the high priest roared past, the tree trunk was swallowed into the god's mouth, and the tree crown was swallowed into the high priest's mouth.

The high priest's millstone-sized head instantly began to twist and swell, as if some enormous creature was constantly launching attacks from within!

The High Priest gritted his teeth, and the blood-red talisman between his brows emitted a dazzling crimson light, firmly securing his head to prevent it from shattering.

"Click~!"

The flesh and blood roots beneath the High Priest's head slowly detached, then, carrying with them the deity who had severed the ancestral god's feet, swiftly returned to Luo Fan's feet.

By this time, Li Wushou had already lowered his guard and was staring intently at Luo Fan's physical body.

The moment the foot god returned to Luo Fan's feet, it rapidly harvested and devoured the roots that were spread throughout Luo Fan's body.

Thus it seems that the foot god ate the root of the ancestral god, the belly god ate the trunk of the ancestral god, and the high priest ate the crown of the ancestral god!
Wu Xing Situ stared at the shocking turn of events before him, completely dumbfounded.

Was the ancestral god severed by the god beneath the feet of the ancestor?

Did the Grand Priest and the two ancestral gods eat the ancestral gods together?

Although he had just performed a grand sacrificial ceremony that severed the foundation of the ancestral gods, the Martial Justice Minister was still reeling from the shock. He felt no particular emotion, only a sense of bewilderment and helplessness!

He didn't know where to go, just as he didn't know where the fate of the Luotou clan lay.

The ancestral god is dead!

Even though the ancestral god needed to constantly change its vessel, it is an indisputable fact that the Headless Fruit helped the Headless Clan fly with their skulls.

Would killing the ancestral god solve this problem?

Just then, the high priest's head, which had been twisting and turning in mid-air, quietly calmed down.

“Losang, I underestimated you. I gave you the opportunity.”

The ancestral god's resentful and weak voice rang out in mid-air; upon closer listening, the voice could be heard emanating from the head of the high priest.

The high priest, with a calm expression, replied:

"I seized the opportunity! You've been a god for too many years, and you've long lost your sense of awe! Your fate was already sealed; even if I'm gone, there will be another Losang!"

The Ancestral God was speechless, then laughed maniacally:

"Haha, well said! So what about your fate, Losang? What will you choose?"

The high priest remained expressionless as he slowly lowered his head to Luo Fan's neck.

The ancestral god was taken aback, then burst into uncontrollable laughter.

"Hahaha"

Early update! Have a great weekend everyone! Remember to get a haircut today, February 2nd, for a prosperous and smooth-sailing new year!
