It really wasn't fair to blame Jiang Yuechu for her ignorance...
Ever since she finished reading the notebook the Golden Thread Ancestor left behind, she had gained a rough understanding of this world's basic workings. At least she was no longer stumbling about in total darkness.
But...
However extensive the Golden Thread Ancestor's notes might have been, they had never once mentioned True Gods.
Why had the mere mention of those two words frightened Long Zhi out of even raising the matter of recruitment?
At that thought...
Jiang Yuechu looked toward Long Zhi with a hint of curiosity.
Noticing the girl's gaze, Long Zhi stiffened in fright.
This little menace wasn't about to stir up trouble, was she?
After all, the Azure Firmament Cave Master before them had served beneath a True God.
If Jiang Yuechu acted rashly in a moment of hotheadedness, all of them would meet their end here today.
At that thought, Long Zhi dared not hesitate.
She hurriedly steadied herself and began explaining to Jiang Yuechu through a silent voice transmission.
"Young friend Jiang, you mustn't do anything rash! A True God is..."
Upon hearing her explanation...
The puzzlement in Jiang Yuechu's eyes gradually faded.
Long Zhi had mentioned before that four great teachings ruled this world.
But until now, she had only dealt with the Heavenly Court or the Buddhist Sect.
This was her first encounter with anyone connected to the Primordial Divine Court.
Innately divine.
Undying and imperishable.
It certainly sounded terrifying.
However...
Jiang Yuechu lowered her gaze slightly, an almost imperceptible glint passing through her eyes.
If I could slay and record a demon like this, one who had heard a True God's teachings...
Would the demon's bounty far surpass the ordinary, too?
As she entertained that thought...
