Incense Faith Power

After Su Yang finished recounting the legend of the Void Great Emperor, many among the Human Race had already developed a sense of reverence for him!

They also sensed a faint, yet real, loss of faith power!

Although extremely slight, it already constituted substantial damage!

If Su Yang continued to spread the deeds of the Void Great Emperor in the Earthly Immortal Realm, it would inevitably cause a profound impact on them, these deities!

These powerful beings listed on the Investiture of the Gods, constrained by the list, could not break through by cultivation alone and could only rely on mortal incense and faith power to strengthen themselves.

And now?

The Earthly Immortal Realm they had painstakingly managed for many years was, because of one person, Su Yang, causing countless mortals to offer their faith, originally belonging to them, to that unattainable Void Great Emperor!

How could this situation not enrage them?

The Jade Emperor, observing the indignant expressions of the gods, secretly rejoiced in his heart.

These immortals listed on the Investiture of the Gods were usually arrogant, relying on their status as disciples of Sages, and often disrespected him, the co-lord of the Three Realms.

The so-called "Great Heavenly Venerate of the Three Realms" seemed to be merely an empty title in their eyes.

Now, seeing everyone's distressed expressions, the Jade Emperor felt as blissful as drinking honey!

"How dare he snatch our incense and faith! He deserves death! Esteemed sirs, who is willing to descend to the mortal realm and take his life?"

Above the Heavenly Court, ancient existences listed on the Investiture of the Gods, gazing at the scene reflected in the Haotian Mirror, their faces were grim, their eyes filled with unconcealed rage. He immediately spoke, proposing to take action.

The other gods, upon hearing this, did not respond. In broad daylight like this, it was not suitable for them to interfere.

Moreover, the faith power that Su Yang had taken was but a drop in the ocean.

For these beings with great divine abilities, the loss of a little faith power was actually of no consequence.

But that deity clearly did not intend to let it go easily. Su Yang had previously angered the Heavenly Dao, triggering the Zixiao Divine Thunder to descend, which was already a great sin.

Now, he wished to use this opportunity to capture Su Yang and present him to the Zixiao Palace.

This way, he could not only win the favor of that high-ranking individual but also eliminate a potential threat.

Currently, the gods on the Investiture of the Gods all relied on faith power to maintain themselves. The source of faith in the Earthly Immortal Realm was already scarce.

If a mortal were to snatch away a portion of it, naturally, even less would fall into their hands.

Thinking of this, the deity's anger became irrepressible.

He looked at the silent gods and said coldly, "Fine! You are unwilling to act, right? Then I shall go myself!"

With that, without even requesting permission from the Jade Emperor, he transformed into a stream of light and sped towards the Earthly Immortal Realm.

The Jade Emperor's face darkened, like the descent of night.

This was precisely why he disliked these beings of great divine abilities – they relied on their own cultivation, relied on the lineage of Sages, and showed no reverence for him, the Jade Emperor.

Now, they had left in public without even a word of report, heading straight for the Earthly Immortal Realm.

Seeing the Jade Emperor's unpleasant expression, the gods dared not speak. Although they often paid lip service to the Jade Emperor, on the surface, no one dared to be openly disrespectful.

The deity who had just left was a renowned powerful being from the Primordial World era, a contemporary of many Quasi-Sages.

He was born before the Witch-Demon Calamity and had experienced the turbulent era after the Dragon-Phoenix-Kirin Three Clans' Conflict.

In the Primordial World, he was also a famous and powerful figure.

Unfortunately, during the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, he fell onto the Investiture of the Gods List, and his cultivation has been stagnant ever since, only able to slowly improve by relying on faith power.

Now that Su Yang was snatching faith, how could he not be angry?

However, even with his dissatisfaction, he should maintain superficial courtesy. Although the lineages of the Sages each had their own intentions, they still needed to show respect to the Jade Emperor.

But that deity, due to his own immense power, openly disregarded the Jade Emperor's presence.

Deep within the Underworld, in Houtu's palace.

After listening to Su Yang's narration, Houtu's interest in him grew even stronger.

With her extraordinary insight, she naturally realized that the "Void Great Emperor" was not a fabricated name but a real existing individual.

That was an undeniable fact. The current question was, where exactly did Su Yang obtain this secret knowledge?

Looking at Su Yang's performance just now, it was as if he knew all the secrets of the Shrouding the Heavens World like the back of his hand.

"In the Shrouding the Heavens World, there were originally over a hundred ancient Great Emperors, and the Void Great Emperor was just one of them. I wonder if this little fellow also knows the identities of other Great Emperors?"

Houtu gazed at Su Yang's face, a hint of curiosity arising in her heart as she pondered:

"If I could bring this little fellow back with me, and have him tell me about those past events every day, wouldn't that be wonderful?"

"That way, I wouldn't have to wait every day, just hoping he would speak on his own."

Inside the inn, Su Yang's account of the Void Great Emperor's journey to becoming an Emperor had come to an end.

At this moment, the people in the inn were still immersed in the story, wanting more.

The story of the Void Great Emperor's ascension to the Emperor realm had concluded. Would Su Yang continue to tell other stories?

For example, what was the Void Great Emperor's fate later on?

Or, were those other Great Emperors as blood-pumping as the Void Great Emperor?

Changxi and Xi He's gazes never left Su Yang, their hearts filled with questions: Why did he know these forgotten past events?

"Sister, I find him more and more interesting."

Changxi transmitted her thoughts to Xi He: "Is there any way we can bring him back to the Lunar Star?"

Xi He replied with a hint of helplessness: "Su Yang has angered the Heavenly Dao. If we bring him back to the Lunar Star, the karma we would bear would likely be unbearable."

"If you truly enjoy listening to his stories, we can come listen often in the future. There's no need to bring him back."

Changxi fell silent. What she truly desired wasn't just to listen to stories.

What truly interested her was Su Yang himself. But she couldn't yet understand what that inexplicable flutter in her heart meant.

At this moment, Nuwa leaned against her chair, gazing at Su Yang's handsome face, boundless curiosity rising within her.

"This youth is not a creature I created, otherwise, I would surely know his origin."

Nuwa mused inwardly: "If that's the case, could I bring him back to Wa Huang Palace to investigate his true identity? And also..."

Just then, a woman slowly walked out from the backyard, drawing everyone's attention.

She wore a plain white dress, possessed peerless beauty, a bronze mask hung from her waist, and she held a cup of clear water. She walked slowly to Su Yang and offered him the cup.

Who else could this person be but the Ruthless Great Emperor?

"You've been talking for so long, you must be thirsty,"

The Ruthless Great Emperor spoke, her tone calm: "Drink some water, then continue."

Su Yang chuckled, took the cup, and was about to drink.

The mortals gathered in the inn cast curious glances, and whispers instantly filled the air.

"Mister Su! You've been hiding a beauty from us!"

"Yes, Mister Su, if that lady hadn't appeared in person, we wouldn't have known you already had someone in your heart."

"Oh dear, I was planning to introduce my daughter to Mister Su, but it seems there's no chance now."

"Stop joking. Your daughter's looks are so bad even I can't stand to look at her, let alone introduce her to someone else."
