Serena couldn't help but feel dejected.
The goddess from their world had ended up in such a miserable state, so naturally they would be neglected as well. How pitiful. How hard her life was.
Tanjiro: "Ah, this... isn't raising chickens a bit too real? Could there be a mistake?"
If you were talking about raising cranes or sacred beasts, that would be one thing. But actually raising chickens—it was too absurd.
Spirit of the Demon Sword: "Rin Tosaka didn't deceive anyone. The goddess really is raising chickens. There's no helping it. The god doesn't like her, so he arranged such work."
The god's preferences—no one could figure them out. It wasn't like he was abusing this goddess; having her raise chickens and do miscellaneous work was still something.
Truth be told, Liu Che simply found her appearance didn't conform to his aesthetics. There was no other reason.
Xun'er: "Sister Solanum, the goddess from our world is also raising chickens."
The goddesses she had sacrificed—one was Medusa, another was Yun Yun, and the third was a concubine. All three were beauties, regardless of figure or appearance. Even their personalities were excellent.
Food Connoisseur Witch: "No, I went out with Sister Yafei yesterday. I heard the three of them accompanied the god on a trip a few days ago."
Xun'er: "Phew... that's good. You scared me to death!"
For high priests whose worlds had not yet been promoted, the goddess was their only means of pillow talk. Once the goddess lost favor, that meant they were alienated.
Now, seeing this situation, the others in the group couldn't help but ask one by one.
Junior Brother of Great Bamboo Peak: "Excuse me, how are the goddesses from our world—Xueqi and Baguio—living?"
Tosaka University: "Don't ask. You two, these two are ridiculously strong. Before the goddess from Serena's world, we don't even know what's going on."
Spirit of the Demon Sword: "Yes, it's rare to see gods who deliberately neglect a goddess. For example, the goddess from Tanjiro's world is very much liked by the god!"
Fox Who Only Loves Money: "I really don't like the goddess from the Western Lower Realm, but Galadriel and Arwen are also very popular."
For Peace: "Don't discuss things about the god so much. Let's talk about other matters. Now that Lao Gao has been promoted, @SlayingDemonsUncleNine, how are things on your end?"
Fallen White-Robed Wizard: "Did you forget? He's not in a fixed time period. When he replies to you, it'll probably be several months later."
Young Master Murong: "That's right!"
At this time, within the monster world, Uncle Jiu was naturally busy.
Integrating the world—since his Yin Soldiers had eliminated many demons, the cult's power had suddenly magnified. The forces of the Underworld府 were being constantly harassed.
With no other choice, Uncle Jiu could only bring his own people and go directly to the Underworld to settle the affairs of this realm first.
Within these three years, the Underworld of the Chinese lands had been leveled by him. Now, the world was divine. Several provinces had been added to the cult's management.
"Master Priest, recently many foreign devils want to invade us. What should we do?"
"Kill them! There are many ghosts among foreigners. Tell those believers that if they kill foreign devils, God will forgive us."
"Yes!"
To this day, hundreds of thousands of devils had died at their hands. Now their sights were set on other countries again.
In the World of Xuanyuan Sword
After experiencing the destruction of the demon world and offering sacrifices to the gods, the development of this world had begun to accelerate continuously. Some races living outside saw the benefits the Tupa clan gained by joining the Great Sui and began rushing to join as well.
Among them, the most critical point was: if you didn't join, you would soon be incorporated into the Great Sui's territory anyway.
The reason was simple. Because the Great Sui needed to develop the cult of God and transform this world into part of the Immortal Realm, it was necessary for all people to believe in the Eternal God. Otherwise, the final sacrifice could not be initiated.
Because of this, Yuwen Tuo directly announced in the court, having the emperor proclaim it so that all races in the world would take action.
Moreover, after many ancient artifacts had been sacrificed, some were still left over.
"Mother, I'll leave court affairs to you for now. The method to control the emperor is in this jade pendant. I should be leaving."
Yuwen Tuo straightened his clothes, preparing to depart from here. The bird immortals from before—this time, he would have them all descend. It wasn't easy to go out once.
And as the high priests in the group were promoted one by one, he naturally couldn't fall behind!
The beautiful woman said softly: "Go. Mother will watch over things for you. Actually, managing the cult doesn't require such effort—it runs very smoothly on its own."
"That's because they're all kind-hearted. Besides, after seeing the god, who would dare harbor different intentions!"
That finger that crossed the ages—not to mention those self-important fellows, even he himself had been startled. Let alone mere mortals.
"Then where are you going first?"
"The East Sea, to find the Kongtong Seal!"
Yuwen Tuo smiled at his mother and disappeared from the spot.
The Kongtong Seal—one of the ten ancient artifacts. In legend, something that could grant immortality. Originally, he hadn't known its location, but he couldn't resist getting spoiled.
Since Ye Laohei could obtain the information he wanted through the goddess Tosaka Rin, then of course he could too.
The Kongtong Seal was in the East Sea. To be precise, it was within the body of the ancient mythical beast—Juhai. Held by the Black Dragon King.
But this Black Dragon King was He Ran's subordinate. How could his opponent, growing up avoiding the world, devour the lives of the Di human race every day?
"Hmph... damn immortals, a bunch of trash!"
Yuwen Tuo couldn't help but curse when he thought of it. How pitiful was the Di Human Race? Yet they were toyed with by others and ended up like this.
It was only because his god was merciful.
He Ran, Gu Yue... You two had better not let me meet you, or I'll kill you both!
In Yuwen Tuo's bright eyes, a glimmer of cold divine light flashed.
God loved the world. However, these so-called divine immortals relied on some merit and acted wantonly, never even thinking about the consequences of their actions.
Moreover, since they knew of the god's existence, why didn't they come to confess their sins? After all, they still couldn't let go of their troublesome pride!
Such sinful people, even with merit, would have it offset.
Just as Yuwen Tuo was thinking this, he had arrived at the East Sea.
The vast sea was extremely calm at this moment. Except for the occasional fishy wind blowing, it even gave him a kind of peace of mind.
"I never expected the sea to be like this..."
The scenery was strange, unlike anything he'd seen before. A few small islands were dotted across the azure sea, giving him an exotic feeling.
However, according to Tosaka Rin's description, Juhai was the size of a mountain range, with a universe within its belly.
That said, one couldn't stay near the shore—Juhai was in the deep sea!
Yuwen Tuo flew toward the center of the ocean and stopped after nearly a hundred miles. He sat cross-legged in the void, his divine consciousness spreading out like radar, using himself as the center and rapidly scattering outward.
One thousand meters, ten thousand meters, one hundred thousand meters.
Finally, in an extremely remote area, Yuwen Tuo found a massive life signature! It was like an enormous shadow, sleeping in the trench.
"So it's here!"
Yuwen Tuo opened his eyes, and his body flew toward the front left before diving into the sea. As he descended continuously, he saw a huge trench where the ancient divine beast Juhai slept.
Whoosh.
Scarlet eyes suddenly opened—each like a massive house!
"Heh... worthy of being an ancient beast. You discovered my existence? But... with your strength, I'm afraid you're no match for me!"
A dark sphere condensed in Yuwen Tuo's palm. The entire ocean twisted continuously under the sphere's rotation.
Juhai sensed its life was threatened. With a flick of its tail, it slammed directly toward Yuwen Tuo.
As an ancient beast—once the mount of the Great God Pangu—it naturally didn't fear a small human.
However, Juhai didn't know that Yuwen Tuo's power had long surpassed that of mortals!
Boom.
The black orb struck Juhai's body but didn't knock it away—only causing a bruise.
"Tch... didn't expect you to have some skill!"
Boom.
The violent force slammed into Yuwen Tuo, but he didn't budge. Instead, he smiled.
Just at that moment, black smoke radiated from Yuwen Tuo's body. Divine power began to spread.
"Roar!"
A long roar came from Yuwen Tuo's mouth. A dragon appeared from within the black smoke—its body no smaller than Juhai's, but this dragon was filled with sacred power.
Boom.
The dragon's head collided with the giant whale's head. This was incredible—all the seas within a hundred-mile radius erupted. The Black Dragon King and the Di Humans living inside Juhai's body were all startled by this event.
"You behemoth, I see your combat effectiveness is quite good. I can offer you to the gods as a sacrifice in the future!"
The dragon roared. A powerful energy blast flew from its mouth. Although Juhai reacted quickly, it hadn't fought in a long time and couldn't gather enough strength for a moment, so it was sent flying.
When the sea subsided, Juhai's eyes had rolled back white as it lay floating on the ocean.
After all, the current Yuwen Tuo had obtained god-given bloodline, which naturally couldn't be compared to this native creature.
"What a fine beast—better than those so-called immortals and great gods..."
Yuwen Tuo condensed his divine power and left a mark deep in Juhai's consciousness for use in subsequent sacrifices. Then he flew in through the gap in its mouth.
There was no fishy smell inside—instead, it was bright and radiant. Merfolk, Di Humans, and Black Dragons were all very frightened at this moment.
Yuwen Tuo killed all those shrimp soldiers and crab generals, heading straight for the Black Dragon King's domain.
"You... who are you?"
The defensive barrier shattered, and the Black Dragon King flew out of the palace wielding a weapon. But after saying just one sentence, he was obliterated by black sword energy.
