"Listen to yourself. A Mid-Rank True God fell. How could the karmic consequences not be enormous?"
"You don't know a damn thing..."
"That's not the kind of karmic consequences I mean."
"What I mean is..."
Ye Chen spoke hurriedly, then seemed to remember something and abruptly fell silent.
He looked around as though wary of something.
Li Yun stared at him, utterly baffled.
Only after a long while did Ye Chen speak cautiously. "If it were anyone else, I'd pretend I knew nothing. But since you're tangled up in this, I'll risk giving you a few hints..."
"Do you know how the Myriad Laws True God fell?"
Li Yun nodded. "A little. It seems three Mid-Rank True Gods from the Dark Faction joined forces during the God War, breached his Divine Kingdom, and killed him..."
"Yes. That's right."
"But don't you find any of that strange?"
Li Yun froze. "Should I? What's strange about it?"
"It was a God War. Casualties in a great battle are inevitable. Even True Gods could fall in a battle at their own level. That should be normal."
"Normal, my ass..."
Ye Chen gave a cold laugh before continuing. "Let me put it this way. Whenever a God War breaks out, regardless of faction, it's basically True God against True God, Divine Kingdom against Divine Kingdom..."
"Nearly every True God has his own target and opponent."
"You almost never see several True Gods besiege one..."
Li Yun opened his mouth as if to speak, then swallowed his words. He rubbed his chin unconsciously, a thoughtful glint in his eyes.
"The Dark Faction didn't have more True Gods than the other side. So how did three of them end up besieging the Myriad Laws True God?"
"Were all the True Gods in the Light Faction asleep?"
