Chapter 1222: True God's Revival

Chapter 1227: True God's Revival

The spider-shaped statue where the Divine Prison was located rumbled and shook violently. A total of thirty-three golden light beams had already burst through the ground, carrying dense anomalous matter and the oppressive aura of deities as they shot up into the sky.

As this was the Heavensent Zone, devoid of immortal spiritual energy, the emergence of this anomalous matter and divine energy met no resistance, shaking all directions. At the same time, more divine fluctuations were erupting from within the statue.

Heaven and Earth plunged into chaos.

Yet Xu Qing's expression remained calm. His voice, like a cold wind blowing from the Nine Nethers, enveloped the entire Divine Prison and swept across the surrounding starry sky, simultaneously bringing a sense of calm to the jailers and two wardens present.

For the two wardens, regardless of Xu Qing's group's prior intentions, at least at this moment, Xu Qing's composure instilled confidence in them. So they hesitated not at all, immediately stepping forward to bow to Xu Qing and unhesitatingly producing their jade slips, which granted them prison authority. They acknowledged Xu Qing's assertion that he was taking over the prison at this time.

Xu Qing wasted no words. With a raise of his hand, he seized the prison authority jade slips and immediately used this authority to fully activate the array seals within the prison. At the same time, he looked at the wardens before him.

"Gentlemen," he asked, "is there a True God imprisoned here?"

Had it been before, these two would not have given any response to such an inquiry, but now, they dared not conceal anything and answered truthfully.

"There is a purified remnant body..."

"It is this statue itself..."

The two men's words made Xu Qing's eyes narrow, and he glanced at the statue they were in. Upon arriving earlier, he had already paid attention to this statue. Hearing this now, he changed his mind about entering the prison's interior and immediately issued orders.

"You two," he commanded, "immediately report this matter to your respective Outer Heavens. At the same time, take the jailers here and guard all exits, allowing no deities to break out!"

"Seaweed," he continued, "suppress all beams of divine energy. Send your roots into the prison to assist with the suppression. Additionally, expand your main body to cover this prison statue, forming a second line of defense!"

"Zhou Zhengli," he instructed, "enter the prison and contact all fellow Daoists. While suppressing the deities, also thoroughly investigate the specifics of the rebellion. With your collective strength, as long as you're not facing a True God, you can suppress them."

"As for this True God statue..."

A cold light flashed in Xu Qing's eyes.

"I will handle it!"

Zhou Zhengli immediately acknowledged, his body flickering as he headed straight for the prison to contact all ascended cultivators as per Xu Qing's request. As for the specific methods and how to suppress them, he had his own ways. Xu Qing did not overly concern himself with this; he had witnessed Zhou Zhengli's capabilities and knew that unless the other party deliberately caused trouble, he could certainly handle it well.

At the same time, the two wardens also complied with Xu Qing's orders, reporting the matter while leading the local jailers to disperse and suppress the various exits.

In the sky, Seaweed manifested. Its twenty leaves rapidly grew in size, eventually descending like a sky-covering canopy, enveloping the golden light beams. It sealed the golden light. Its main body also appeared in the starry sky, its colossal form expanding to simultaneously encircle the statue. Countless roots also descended from the sky; a portion went to cover other golden lights, while another portion followed the exits and inlets, probing into the prison's interior!

While each carried out their duties, everything proceeded in an orderly manner.

Thus, time slowly passed. The outer layers were gradually suppressed, and the interior quickly saw results with Zhou Zhengli's entry.

However, there were occasional disturbances. Just then, the statue, which had been gradually calming down, suddenly vibrated. A faint roar of a deity, seemingly echoing in the minds of all cultivators, spread everywhere. And it wasn't just one roar, but successive ones, even attracting source matter to converge divine authority here. It seemed the suppression of the rebellion within the prison had reached a critical juncture.

A sharp light flashed in Xu Qing's eyes. He took a step into the sky, sat cross-legged in mid-air, and looked down at the divine statue below. Then, his cultivation base circulated, and his quasi-immortal power erupted with a roar. This formed a terrifying pressure that enveloped all directions. It twisted the void, blurred everything, altered rules, and affected space-time.

Then, as his thoughts fluctuated, his immortal embryo suddenly materialized outside his body. At first, it was only a few zhang, then it expanded, growing larger and larger, eventually manifesting in this world as a vast form! Its size was identical to that of the statue itself, imparting a sacred feeling. Especially since a core light circulated within it, empowering the immortal embryo and making its immortal might several times stronger at this moment.

And within that core light resided an immortal palace! That palace exuded an aura of vicissitude and antiquity, held supreme power and loftiness, and was connected to... an Outer Heaven! It was naturally supreme! At this moment, it was shining brightly. That was the Aurora Immortal Palace!

Its appearance gave Xu Qing's immortal embryo a magnificent feel, as if it were no longer illusory but almost real. And the aura emanating from him, in that instant, was overwhelming and unstoppable, descending towards the prison statue.

Cracking sounds came from the statue, and all anomalous matter emanating from it was suppressed in this instant. Not a trace could escape. Even the roar of the deity was erased at this moment. At the same time, Xu Qing's power also permeated into the statue, sweeping through the prison from top to bottom, pushing layer by layer.

However, his actions had only just begun. At this moment, Xu Qing's eyes gleamed sharply, and his immortal embryo's right hand raised to form a hand seal, accumulating its power. Dense source matter flowed from all directions, and the power of the immortal embryo was also rapidly escalating. At the same time, an iron spike also appeared beside Xu Qing, emitting a hum as it gathered momentum. It exuded an increasingly sharp aura, as if it could pierce through anything. Furthermore, the Parallel Constitution erupted, forming countless space-times that appeared superimposed around Xu Qing.

This scene was nothing short of an anomaly. Looking up, one would feel as if facing all the Heavens. Indeed, within those formed space-times, each contained a vast immortal embryo body of Xu Qing. As they looked down from the sky at this moment, it was as if all the celestial spirits had descended. Thus, the pressure was naturally terrifying.

On the statue, the jailers guarding the entrances and the two wardens all felt their minds violently shaking at this moment. The former, their bodies were trembling. As non-human races, they were originally ruled by humans, and now Xu Qing's aura was vast, making them feel as if they had encountered an immortal. As for the two wardens, they were also breathing rapidly, their feelings far deeper than those of the jailers. The feeling of facing a Lower Immortal was incredibly strong.

"He's not a Lower Immortal, but this pressure is infinitely close..."

The two felt awe in their hearts and also breathed a sigh of relief. They could already see that this deity rebellion, under the dual suppression by Xu Qing's group both from inside and out, was now no longer a major issue. This was indeed the case. The deities here had, after all, been imprisoned; although they harbored rebellious intentions, everything was not yet ready. Their hasty eruption at this moment naturally had many shortcomings. So gradually, the divine aura diminished further and slowly calmed down.

But Xu Qing's expression did not relax with this calm; instead, it became more solemn. The intention of gathering momentum did not decrease in the slightest; instead, it intensified. Because he felt an extremely subtle sense of revival rising within the statue. This was not the first time he had sensed such a scene!

"Back then, in the outer sea of the Wanggu Continent, my Senior Brother and I, at Yu Liuchen's request, became bait, going out to sea to help it fish..."

"At that time, what it wanted to fish for was a True God about to return!"

"The feeling then was the same as now!"

Almost the instant these thoughts arose in Xu Qing's mind, the statue where the Divine Prison was located suddenly roared, as if an irresistible force erupted from within. It surged skyward! Beams of golden light burst out from within the statue, even Seaweed's leaves struggled to cover them, and wisps of divine aura also shot into the sky. These formed anomalous mist columns, drawing power from above. Waves of murmurs that could twist one's mind also echoed from within the prison at this moment, causing all who heard them to change expression.

At the same time, the earth churned, and figures rapidly rushed out from various entrances. Those who appeared were precisely the ascended cultivators: Star Ring Child, Evil Spirit Child, Li Mengtu, Yuanshan Su, and Qianjun Biyi were all among them. Each of them had a solemn expression, many bearing injuries. Zhou Zhengli was also among them; the moment he flew out, his voice quickly transmitted.

"My Lord," he reported, "most of the rebellious deities below have been suppressed, but their ritual was completed earlier and cannot be reversed."

"They are reviving a True God!"

Almost the instant Zhou Zhengli's words were transmitted, the spider-shaped statue's shaking force resumed, emitting deafening rumbling sounds. The ground surface shattered even further, creating numerous ravines. The spider statue's originally closed eyes now seemed about to open amidst the churning earth. At the same time, a mysterious pulling force arrived from the void, transforming into a true name and merging into the murmurs, making them increasingly clear as they called out a name!

"Bimos!"

"Bimos!!"

"Bimos!!!"

True Gods are indestructible; as long as their true name exists and someone remembers it, then even if they fall, they will eventually return!

Now, a True God of the Fifth Star Ring, suppressed by cultivators long ago...

He is returning!

The spider statue continued to shatter. All cultivators on it had now flown up, their expressions showing varying degrees of change. Xu Qing's expression was also solemn. What he thought of was Yu Liuchen from back then...

And at this moment, around the periphery of this prison, the star vortex formed by void dust was also rumbling. The Heavensent Zone in all directions was twisting, anomalous matter bred, and divine energy ascended, transforming into a cold voice that entered the minds of all cultivators present.

"I am Bimos..."

This voice caused the cultivators here to feel confused and their minds to become contaminated, showing signs of being corrupted. Some even bled from all seven apertures, their flesh and blood seemed to be tearing apart, as if countless chaotic thoughts were being generated, each striving for independence. This was the might of a True God!

However, before the True God's voice finished, Xu Qing's eyes were already filled with strong battle intent.

"Back then, Yu Liuchen could scheme against a True God from the Divine Platform realm..."

"If it could, then with my current combat power, facing this weakened True God in the midst of its return... it's not impossible!"

Xu Qing's killing intent was intense. He raised his hand and pressed down!

His immortal embryo instantly shone, the iron spike gleamed with sharpness, and countless space-times churned. All the momentum he had gathered earlier...

...fully erupted!
