Supreme Saint of the Cowardly Path

The Eagle Empire and the Sun Empire had drawn their battle lines, and skirmishes of all sizes erupted daily.

A dispute of faith.

A conflict between races.

Both sides had reasons they could not retreat.

However, after the introduction of explosive barrels and crude cannons onto the battlefield, the Eagle Empire's advantage seemed to be gradually increasing.

In the early days, the Eagle Empire's strength lay in the individual power of their Emperor, Hu'erlun. But as the Sun Empire's Great Shaman, Loserius, gathered more and more Supernatural Beasts, the Eagle Empire was at a severe disadvantage for a considerable period.

After all, with a greater number of Supernatural Beasts available for deployment, the Sun Empire no longer feared Hu'erlun's ability to slaughter cities single-handedly.

If he dared to infiltrate the Sun Empire's main city and carry out a massacre, then a group of Supernatural Beasts on the front lines would similarly shatter the balance of the war in the same manner.

If things continued to develop this way, neither side would benefit.

Thus, an unwritten rule was born: neither side would employ supernatural powers to directly infiltrate the rear and launch attacks on the enemy's heartland.

Originally, this was highly beneficial for the Sun Empire.

But as the quantity of cannons and explosive barrels increased, on the main battlefield, the Sun Empire could only rely on its flying Supernatural Beasts to sneak into the rear powder magazines and have its armies engage in hit-and-run tactics, avoiding direct frontal assaults.

This delicate situation persisted for a long time, and it seemed the Eagle Empire could only hold an advantage without converting it into the fruits of victory.

However, at this juncture, the Sage Kubana's masterstroke of undermining the foundation caused the Sun Empire to panic.

It turned out Kubana had been waiting!

He knew that Supernatural Beasts possessed intelligence no less than that of humans.

If their intelligence was so high, then it shouldn't be difficult for them to understand human language after spending a long time within human civilization, right?

You, Loserius, can communicate with Supernatural Beasts, can't you?

Yes, we can't, but that was only a few years ago!

Even cats and dogs, after spending time with humans, while they can't speak human language, can at least understand some commands!

Now, after several years, the Supernatural Beasts that had lived in human cities for so long could understand human language almost perfectly!

On that day, Kubana directly ordered Hu'erlun to charge out from the midst of the army and hammer a Supernatural Beast into submission, capturing it and bringing it back to the rear!

Leveraging its supernatural intelligence and Hu'erlun's military might, Kubana managed to win over that beast in just a few days!

When, a few days later, a Supernatural Beast that was originally the spiritual pillar of the Sun Empire's front lines appeared in the enemy's ranks.

The Sun Empire's front line completely collapsed!

This move to undermine the foundation and steal the spoils completely destroyed the morale of the Sun Empire, causing them to fall into disarray.

The Eagle Empire seized this opportunity to pursue their victory, pushing the front lines over a hundred miles into the Sun Empire's territory!

Although, due to years of accumulation, most of the Supernatural Beasts still leaned towards the Sun Empire.

However, even the wavering of a small number of Supernatural Beasts, joining the enemy's ranks or choosing neutrality, was enough to plunge the Sun Empire into an irretrievable decline.

On this day.

The two great leaders of the Eagle Empire, leading several Supernatural Beasts, once again arrived before the vast army, preparing to press their advantage and capture the Sun Empire's vital military stronghold!

Before departing, the Great Shaman Kubana once again held up a bowl of fragrant hot soup and said, "I wish His Majesty a victorious return!"

Hu'erlun familiarized himself with the hot soup, drank it down in one gulp, and felt invigorated. He even licked his lips, as if still wanting more.

Slamming the empty bowl down, Hu'erlun laughed, "The National Preceptor is truly wise! If not for your wisdom and your daily essential Spirit Nourishing Soup, it would be difficult for me to maintain my invigorated state every day. It can be said that for every victory on the battlefield, the National Preceptor deserves the primary credit!"

Roar~

Beside them, a Supernatural Beast, a pangolin larger than a house, also licked its lips and sniffed the air, looking at Kubana.

Kubana smiled, "The ingredients used to brew the Spirit Nourishing Soup are very rare, so currently, it is exclusively supplied to His Majesty. However, if any of you divine beasts are interested, you may each have a bowl after we achieve victory."

From the perspective of God, Tang Chuan was quite perplexed.

Spirit Nourishing Soup...

From the establishment of the Eagle Alliance until now.

How many years has it been?

Every time he checked in, he saw Kubana feeding soup to Hu'erlun?

To save some diluted divine power, Tang Chuan didn't analyze the composition of the Spirit Nourishing Soup himself.

Instead, he asked Quintessa, "Take a look, what is that Spirit Nourishing Soup for? It looks very fragrant, and Hu'erlun always seems full of energy after drinking it."

However, Quintessa's answer left Tang Chuan speechless.

After Quintessa's analysis, she said, "This isn't Spirit Nourishing Soup at all, it's more like God-Slaying Soup. The medicinal soup has many properties, but most of them are not good.

Drinking this kind of medicinal soup regularly will first cause a slight addiction, then it will overdraft the drinker's mental state, and it will also cause premature aging. Most importantly...

this medicinal soup severely damages reproductive capabilities!"

Tang Chuan clicked his tongue, unsure how to judge this Kubana fellow.

The growth of the Power of Faith had begun to stabilize.

It was time for me, a god, to make a dazzling reappearance.

But would the final victor really be that old schemer Kubana?

If he actually won and became the final Sovereign, how would he answer Kubana's three questions?

Tang Chuan asked, "Hu'erlun's body received my divine power enhancement. Does the medicinal soup affect him significantly?"

Quintessa gave a wry smile. "It's precisely because Hu'erlun's physique was previously strengthened by you, Master, that he hasn't quickly shown side effects. If an ordinary person drank this kind of medicinal soup for a few months, they would have already met the gods.

I've noticed Kubana has been probing, testing Hu'erlun's physical condition. Periodically, the toxicity and concentration of the medicinal soup he presents have been increasing.

If Hu'erlun doesn't realize it soon, in three to four years at most, he won't even be able to get out of bed."

How devious!

Tang Chuan could only lament this.

Indeed, playing it safe was the way to go.

Tang Chuan temporarily exited his God's perspective, preparing to gather his thoughts for another divine manifestation.

Since he couldn't leave the house due to the global lockdown, he had Quintessa project the Universal Television onto the screen.

While eating popcorn and watching an infuriating alien drama, Tang Chuan began to ponder how to answer Kubana's three questions.

What is Cangmang Star composed of?

That's simple, he could just send him a periodic table to fool him.

What lies in the depths of space?

At worst, he could take him to see the depths of space.

What is the meaning of human existence?

I'd like to know that too!
