The Divine Edict

"What should we do, sisters?"

The youngest of the Sancha River water gods immediately sent a voice transmission. "When we were promoted back then, we received help from an extraordinary being and promised to accomplish something for the person who held the pact in the future! We swore by our divine positions, with Heaven and Earth as witness. We absolutely must not break that oath!"

"The one who helped us back then doesn't seem to be this person!"

The Baishui River Goddess spoke with a bitter taste in her mouth. "But our oath applies only to someone who can state the terms of the pact. That was one of the conditions we agreed on back then, too. This is strange. Perhaps some great power has been laying pieces on the board!"

"From the looks of it, this scheme runs incredibly deep! Things have come to this, and if we break our promise, our divine positions will collapse at once, and we'll never be reborn!"

The Liusha River water god's eyes darkened. She bowed gracefully. "The three river gods are willing to acknowledge Your Excellency as our Alliance Leader!"

"It was you?!"

On the other side, after exchanging a few words with Fang Yuan, the Jing River God's face darkened like the bottom of a pot. Still, he bowed. "Then I shall honor my promise and help you this once!"

"And you, Huoshan Mountain God?"

Fang Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, wearing an inscrutable smile as he gazed at the Huoshan Mountain God.

I never imagined that this Canglang River God was hiding so much. He even laid his plans across all these Deities...

The Huoshan Mountain God was utterly horrified. He was reminded of the extraordinary being who had helped him in the past.
