Night Moon Palace.
The main hall.
Ning Chuan's eyes were indifferent as he let the Chief Justice of the Old Gods Society wail in the thick green fog until he felt that the Chief Justice had completely lost his fighting ability and was only hanging on by a thread. Only then did he shut down the security facilities of the main hall.
The judge of the Old Gods Society lay on the ground, in a pitiful state, with only half of his upper body remaining.
"Stop yelling. I'll ask you a question, and you'll answer it. Remember, if you tell even one lie, I'll kill you!"
Ning Chuan said coldly.
The words were finished.
The screams stopped abruptly.
The judge of the Old Gods Society kept his mouth tightly shut.
As Fifth-Heaven Divine General, his will was actually very strong. His constant wailing was more to evoke Ning Chuan's sympathy.
But now it seems that this approach won't work.
The boy before him was even more cold-blooded and ruthless than the judge who could silence the crying children of other races.
Ning Chuan looked down at the Chief Judge of the Old Gods Society and asked, "Is the resurgence of the gods real or fake?"
Upon hearing this, the Chief Judge of the Old Gods Society fell silent.
"Not going to talk?" Ning Chuan's eyes turned dangerous.
"No!"
The chief judge of the Old Gods Society hurriedly shook his head and said, "I can't be 100% sure either, after all, there's no precedent for this!"
I can only say that, based on the information collected by the Old Gods Society, it is highly likely to be true!
Ning Chuan snorted coldly and said, "Then you just said that the spiritual energy falling from the night sky was the soul of the Goddess of Night!"
The Chief Judge of the Old Gods Society's expression changed slightly, and he nervously explained, "I'm not lying to you. I made a reasonable deduction based on the information I gathered. If the gods can truly be resurrected, the spiritual energy in the night sky must be related to them!"
Even if it cannot, the Heart of Law will endure!
The Chief Judge of the Old Gods Society added a sentence.
Ning Chuan didn't argue with him. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "How can we find the whereabouts of the Goddess of Night through Divine Relic?"
The Old Gods Society' eyes flickered slightly as they said, "I can tell you, but you must promise to let me leave safely after you receive the information."
Do you have the right to bargain?
Ning Chuan said coldly, a deep darkness rising in his eyes, and a powerful spiritual force swept outwards.
Dark Night Abyss!
The judge of the Old Gods Society gritted his teeth and resisted.
However, his injuries were too severe, and he was on the verge of death. He only held on for a moment before he could not withstand the invasion of the Dark Night Abyss, and his consciousness was dragged into the endless dark space.
Emptiness, coldness, deathly silence...
"Call--!"
Once he regained his senses, the Chief Judge of the Old Gods Society, like a fish out of water, gasped for breath, his gaze towards Ning Chuan filled with lingering fear.
The dark space, from which he knew not when it would end, was too much for his will to bear; he was tormented to the point of wanting to die.
He somewhat regretted surviving.
"Can I speak now?"
Ning Chuan's indifferent voice rang out.
The chief judge of the Old Gods Society shuddered and said, "According to historical records, when a god's Heart of Law, body, and soul are reunited, the god will awaken and summon Divine Relic."
"At that time, by following the Divine Relic, we can find the location of the gods."
Ning Chuan glanced at him and said coldly, "And then what? Go and die!"
The chief judge of the Old Gods Society stated bluntly. "No, longevity comes at a severe price!"
A newly awakened god has very limited power.
Less than one in ten survives!
Especially the weaker deities, who are at most equivalent to the Fifth-Heaven Divine General.
This is why I dared to attempt to refine the Heart of Law!
Having endured the torment of the Dark Night Abyss, the Inquisitor of the Old Gods Society no longer harbored any thoughts of lying.
"In order to recover their strength as quickly as possible, the gods left Divine Relic for their descendants, instructing them to perform a blood sacrifice upon receiving a summons, infusing the Divine Relic with their own energy."
Ning Chuan pondered to himself; logically, there was nothing wrong with what the other person said.
"How powerful is the Goddess of Night?"
Ning Chuan asked.
The Chief Judge of the Old Gods Society pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Legend has it that he was one of the seven strongest Venerable God in the mythological era, and that he had killed several gods."
Upon hearing this, Ning Chuan's eyes narrowed slightly, flashing with a cold light.
The Inquisitor of the Old Gods Society was indeed up to no good.
Even if the Goddess of Night, one of the seven strongest gods, only had half of her strength left, she would still be beyond the capabilities of Fifth-Heaven Divine General. To go there would be suicide.
"All I wanted to do was survive."
The Inquisitor of the Old Gods Society offered a weak defense, saying, "Besides, if you can find the Goddess of Night before she awakens, no matter how powerful she is, she won't be able to unleash her full potential..."
His voice trailed off as he spoke.
Such a large Night Moon Palace could be hidden for many years. Goddess of Night didn't reveal herself, who could discover her whereabouts?
At this moment, Qin Ya frowned slightly and said, "If the Goddess of Night is truly reviving, the ruins will be very dangerous. For safety's sake, we must leave as soon as possible."
I agree.
Ning Chuan nodded; he had snatched quite a few good things from the Goddess of Night. He said, "However, the exit is blocked by the falling torrent of spirit."
After saying that, Ning Chuan looked at the Chief Judge of the Old Gods Society and asked, "How did the three of you manage to pass through the spiritual torrent?"
The Old Gods Society, terrified, hurriedly said, "The Pope used a powerful soul-defense artifact to resist the spiritual torrent, but it was destroyed midway, and the three of us were seriously injured as a result."
"Everything I said is true!"
He emphasized this point.
Qin Ya frowned and said, "This is going to be difficult."
"Don't worry, whether it will recover is still uncertain."
Ning Chuan smiled and comforted Qin Ya.
He flipped his left hand, took out a blood-red token, and said, "Even if it truly revives, we will be safe."
" The God-Slaying King Token?!"
The judge of the Old Gods Society recognized him, and instantly Bai Qi.
From beginning to end, the assassination attempt by the three leaders was a joke and posed no threat to Ning Chuan whatsoever.
After all, once Ning Chuan crushes it, the defense of the God-Slaying King Token will be enough to prevent even Divine General from breaking through it.
They had no choice but to flee!
With the God-Slaying King Token upon him, only an attack by the Heavenly King could potentially be fatal.
Qin Ya's beautiful eyes widened; she recognized it too.
She felt relieved and couldn't help but sigh, " Heavenly King Bai Qi truly values you. In the previous ten generations of those World Walker, not a single one has obtained the God-Slaying King Token!"
Ning Chuan raised an eyebrow and casually asked, "Didn't the principal help us get one?"
Qin Ya shook her head, saying helplessly, "I can't bring myself to ask. Among all the Heavenly King in the Federation, only Heavenly King Bai Qi is capable of crafting such a rescue treasure as the God-Slaying King Token."
"Moreover, it will come at a heavy price!"
"I heard my father mention it once: creating the God-Slaying King Token requires consuming the essence of Bai Qi Heavenly King's soul and shortening his lifespan. There are probably no more than ten God-Slaying King Token that have ever existed in the world. You can imagine how precious they are!"
Qin Ya said solemnly.
Ning Chuan nodded; Bai Xiuxiu had said similar things to him.
Qin Ya reminded her, "Make sure you keep it safe, don't lose it."
"Rest assured."
Ning Chuan smiled, then pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, let's go to the armory of the Night Moon Palace first."
Then, go and search for the Spirit-Awakening Flower.
Once the torrent of emotions dissipates, regardless of whether we found it or not, we will leave the Moon God Ruins.
Let's see how things go after a while, and then make a decision.
"Good."
Qin Ya agreed, pointed to the Old Gods Society' Chief Judge lying on the ground, and asked, "What should we do with him?"
Upon hearing this, the Chief Inquisitor of the Old Gods Society panicked and stammered, "I... I've read some information about the Night Moon Palace... I can guide you, and I also know where the armory is..."
Ning Chuan ignored him and pondered, "Don't kill him yet. As the chief judge of the Old Gods Society, he is more valuable alive than dead."
After saying this, he took out the Divine Servant Tower, imprisoned the Old Gods Society's chief judge inside, and instructed the artifact spirit to keep a close watch on him.
The Divine Servant Tower cannot be used for combat, but it contains several mechanical puppets at the level of Fifth-Heaven Divine General, making it ideal as a prison.

In the next chapter, Ning Chuan will comprehend a Mystic Truth. Can you guess what kind of Mystic Truth it is?
