I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

Inside the tavern.

Lin Yan's expression was calm as he looked at the elder in front of him, whose head was separated from his body.

The elder's cultivation was not shallow, even though he was decapitated, his head still held life for a moment, and his Primordial Spirit was still intact.

"So, it turns out my flaw was in the way of testing, didn't seem like an utter fool, did it?"

The elder's head, rolling on the table, let out a laugh and said, "I was originally thinking to deceive the Saint Master under the guise of resolving the curse of the Great Evil Divine Artifact to plant my means... Never thought the Saint Master, though young and inexperienced, is quite cautious at heart, indeed cautious enough."

"Who exactly are you?"

Lin Yan said deeply, "In a certain death situation, you're so calm, you are not the true body!"

"No!"

The elder's expression was solemn as he said, "I am indeed the true body!"

He said faintly, "Actually, what I said to you earlier was mostly true."

"Truth?"

Lin Yan's heart sank, and he said, "Are you truly the Master of the Great Kindness Divine Artifact?"

The elder sighed and said, "Is the divine spirit who masters the Great Kindness Divine Artifact really a kind one?"

His eyes dimmed as he said, "The Great Evil Divine Artifact absorbs the world's Evil Thoughts! The Great Kindness Divine Artifact absorbs the world's good thoughts!"

"Essentially, the divine spirits mastering both Divine Artifacts are the same! The difference is only that each holds a different Divine Artifact, hence the way they grow themselves is not the same."

"Some build bridges and pave roads, doing good and accumulating merit, but in truth, they name themselves only to profit, with good deeds but no good heart!"

"The divine spirit behind the Great Kindness Divine Artifact is also like this, willing to promote goodwill in the world to grow itself, but may not truly be a kind one."

"So, the good god behind the Great Kindness Divine Artifact also wishes to awaken early, to seize position and power before the Divine King awakens."

"But this Great Kindness Divine Artifact, gathering countless good thoughts of the world, as a Divine Spiritual Artifact... its spiritual wisdom is ultimately pure and kind!"

"Just like the Human Clan offering incense to divine spirits, under the influence of the incense, a protective deity for the Human Clan is born... The Human Clan calls it the 'New God of Guardian', distinguishing it from the Old God's thoughts."

He sighed and said, "I have been too heavily influenced by the 'good god', thirty years ago, the Great Kindness Divine Artifact already escaped outside my control..."

As his voice fell, his Qi Mechanism gradually weakened, seemingly about to dissipate into smoke.

But the next moment, Lin Yan's gaze condensed slightly.

Nine Palace Demon Extermination Seal!

Under the earth, a hidden glow was extinguished on the spot.

And the elder's head completely dissipated its Qi Mechanism.

"Master... just now, was this..." Little White Ape said: "Was he speaking to us on the surface while secretly his Primordial Spirit escaped?"

"In terms of the means of creating avatars, he is not as good as me." Lin Yan said calmly: "This technique seems mystical, but essentially it was just leaving a wisp of Divine Thought, the Primordial Spirit hidden and escaped, which couldn't fool me."

"What he said just now, it was all to confuse us, to create an escape opportunity, so how much truth could there be?" Little White Ape hesitated.

"Doesn't seem fake."

Lin Yan walked out of the tavern, looking in the direction of the Charitable Hall, and said, "If judging by what was just said, this old fellow was once also a kind sort, but later lost his heart, the Great Kindness Divine Artifact left him... he should be searching for the whereabouts of the Great Kindness Divine Artifact."

Upon hearing this, Little White Ape could not help but ask, "Does Master think this old Liu would be the Master of this generation's Great Kindness Divine Artifact?"

"I don't know."

Lin Yan said, "The old man just now clearly didn't know either, otherwise, he wouldn't have kept watching old Liu without making a move!"

Little White Ape hesitated and said, "Isn't it bad to act directly?"

Lin Yan shook his head slightly and said, "The Great Kindness Divine Artifact can leave him; even if he acts, it's hard to take back the Great Kindness Divine Artifact! However, he keeps an eye on old Liu, or rather on these good people similar to old Liu... he must be scheming something!"

So saying, Lin Yan pondered, "I think this Great Kindness Divine Artifact and Great Evil Divine Artifact may not exist in the same way..."

Little White Ape was taken aback for a moment, and said, "I remember that Great Evil Divine Artifact seems to be a jar?"

"If the Great Kindness Divine Artifact is also just a jar, it shouldn't be hard to find."

Lin Yan's gaze condensed slightly, looking at old Liu ahead, and said, "They say water and fire are formless, good and evil thoughts even more unpredictable..."

Saying this, he waved his hand, "Wait until I report this to the Demon Suppression Department, we'll proceed to the Upper Heaven according to the original plan..."

"But the previous Master of the Great Kindness Divine Artifact is very strange, seemingly not like someone facing their end, instead as if mocking us..."

Little White Ape felt slightly uneasy and said, "Did he trick us?"

Lin Yan closed his eyes, then opened them, and said, "I didn't sense him using any trick!"

Little White Ape whispered, "When you broke the Great Evil Divine Artifact, it also seemed that nothing was unusual, but Liu Zun, the Heavenly God King of Feng City, and this guy all said you were cursed by the Great Evil Divine Artifact!"

"More debts don't weigh one down; with one Great Evil Divine Artifact, adding one more Great Kindness Divine Artifact isn't much, in this world, those who want my life—human clan, celestial, demon, evil spirit, divine spirit... are not a few."

Lin Yan patted the Night Illuminating Divine Sword at his waist.

The Night Illuminating Divine Sword buzzed slightly with excitement.

Little White Ape unexpectedly sensed the meaning of this Divine Blade from its buzzing.

To completely annihilate a divine spiritual artifact, the Evil Qi should not be small!

"This is exactly our trade!"

Lin Yan stroked the Night Illuminating Divine Sword and said, "Anything that is unfavorable to me, whether it be god, celestial, demon, or evil spirit... as long as they dare to come, I will cut them all!"

"The current Old God, either fearing the Ancient Immortal's Injunction, dare not act... or not truly revived yet, not at their Peak prosperous period!"
