A landing mirror opened in Luoxian Mountain’s Luoxian Residence, and a pair of n and won stepped out.
Lu Ran knocked his buzzing head and found a stone sculpture in the Sculpture Garden:
[Grandpa Cheng, could you bring a mobile phone over to Luoxian Residence?]
The sudden transmission startled Cheng Yi, who quickly responded: [Okay, Mountain Master.]
Only then did Lu Ran look at Yan Shuangzi: "I’ll show you Wang Ling’s picture later. After leaving Luoxian Mountain, unless necessary, try not to reveal your form."
"Yes." Yan Shuangzi nodded and quickly surveyed the surroundings.
She found the room clean and tidy, suggesting soone regularly cleans it.
"Relax, Sis, it’s just us." Lu Ran casually replied, walking towards the door.
Yan Shuangzi watched the young man’s tall back with a gentle "mm" and turned towards the bedroom.
Since her body’s stone sculpture was rooted in Lu Ran’s mind, while executing tasks in the Human World, Lu Ran couldn’t return to Holy Spirit Mountain.
Otherwise, the soul (God and Demon Residue) in her body would disconnect from the stone sculpture.
In other words, Lu Ran would remain in the Human World for several days.
Yan Shuangzi arrived at the bedside, flipped the bedding to confirm it was clean, and then rearranged the quilt, checking other areas of the house.
Lu Ran, on the other hand, stepped out of the residence into the small courtyard and turned his head to look upward.
The Immortal Sheep stone sculpture stood tall and firm as always.
"Immortal Sheep, I’ve subdued the Angry Sea Fla Flood Dragon and returned safely." Lu Ran clasped his hands and gazed at the deity.
[Heh, with a bit of luck by your side.]
Lu Ran: "..."
Is that a human speech?
Alright, you’re a sheep.
[Your actions have a considerable impact.]
"Oh?" Lu Ran’s spirit was instantly lifted.
[So deities and demons have rged again.]
"rged?" Lu Ran’s heart skipped a beat, imdiately asking, "Will the appearance change after the God and Demon stone sculpture rge?"
[Yes, but a Soul Jade is just a piece of jade token, and a Netherworld Horn is just a horn; both hang at the waist of the human-shaped stone sculptures of Color Jade and War Horn, akin to trophies.]
Lu Ran looked surprised.
Trophies?
The Immortal Sheep sneered: [Heh, that’s how deities claim externally too.]
"Then... Can’t demons like Soul Jade and Netherworld Horn appear again during the fifteenth of the month to obtain energy from the Human Clan?"
[Probably not.]
Lu Ran felt a doubt arise in his heart. The fifteenth of every month was a stable and tily feast for the evil gods!
Have two evil gods just given up?
Indeed, by relentlessly killing three evil gods, he seed to have initiated a chain reaction.
Gods and demons were willing to forego this feast to rge and consolidate their power, preventing unseen slaughter.
Satisfying?
Lu Ran had no ti to savor it, he was filled with questions, pondering why Soul Jade and Netherworld Horn were the first evil gods to rge with the deities.
These two demons did have sothing in common—they both could imprison dead souls!
What drives a war?
Resources!
For the war to continue till now, it seed that the seemingly weak Netherworld Horn and Soul Jade clans might have accomplished great rits.
Take Soul Jade, for instance, on the Heavenly Realm Battlefield, many Divine Mountains had these demons, and if the god and demon faction lost Soul Jade, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"Are they willing, Netherworld Horn and Soul Jade?" Lu Ran gazed up at the deity.
[Whether they’re willing or not doesn’t matter.]
Lu Ran silently nodded.
[Heh.] The Immortal Sheep’s laughter suddenly turned icy cold, [This is a strategy by Dong Ting and North Wind. In the face of strong gods, weak deities and demons, just like your Human Clan, must obediently submit.]
Lu Ran: "..."
He naturally recalled the Netherworld Horn in Night Charm’s hands on the Heavenly Realm Battlefield, and the Soul Jade Tokens carried by Purple Thunder Demon Peng and Huangfu Zhao.
Evidently, Dong Ting and North Wind didn’t care about all that disarray.
They just needed to smoothly harvest dead souls!
But the question is, even if War Horn and Netherworld Horn, Color Jade and Soul Jade these weak gods rge, how powerful can they get?
Lu Ran voiced his inner doubts.
The Immortal Sheep responded: [Your subordinates Jiang Ruyi and Si Xianxian, their Divine Position is not complete.]
"Incomplete?"
[Can they create Divine Ruins and bestow blessings upon believers?]
"What they’ve won are evil god positions; what Immortal Sheep ntions are powers belonging to deities..." Lu Ran’s words paused, realizing the other’s implication.
Lu Ran pondered for a mont and inquired further: "Once their Divine Position is complete, aside from these added abilities, would there be any other growth?"
[A complete Divine Position naturally leads to an enhancent in battle strength to so degree.]
Lu Ran clasped his hands: "I sincerely ask for Immortal Sheep’s guidance!"
The Immortal Sheep, unusually patient, spoke at a calm pace: [For instance, body strength and enhancents in various attributes.
Moreover, at the skill level, so forcibly split techniques could beco complete.]
Techniques... complete?
Lu Ran suppressed his curiosity and patiently awaited more.
[So deities have nurous techniques and can discard the useless ones to demons. But most gods lack sufficient techniques, only able to segnt them further on existing bases like Dragon Ink Carp.]
ntioning Dragon Ink Carp, Lu Ran was all about Yu Changsheng.
[Those Divine Techniques and Evil Techniques with similar effects are largely forcibly divided. Once the Divine Position is complete, techniques can revert to their original form with improved effectiveness.]
Lu Ran was sowhat bewildered!
So, the Longevity Carp and the Resurrection Carp aren’t two small carps, one black and one gold?
But rather a single small carp interwoven with black and gold?
After separation, the healing effects of both techniques are so strong. If they return to their original form, wouldn’t they be able to resurrect the dead and regrow flesh from bones?
The great moves of the Dragon Carp and Mo Li sects: Dragon Carp Heavenly Boat and Mo Li Sunken Boat, are not one fast and impactful, the other slow moving with strong defensive power.
Can these two dragon boats rge into one, possessing multiple attributes of both attack and defense?
Oh boy~
Lu Ran murmured: "Disciple thought it was just a Stone Sculpture split in two. Turns out, everything from the Divine Position to the Stone Sculpture, and even the techniques were all divided?"
The Immortal Sheep grunted: [Most of it, but not all were divided.]
Lu Ran’s heart stirred, speculating: "Ash possesses a strong bow and treasured armor, while the Fisherman only has a ragged fishing outfit and broken fish spear. It seems these kinds of techniques weren’t split.
Ash is what you ntioned, a god with many techniques.
Did she keep all the good techniques for herself and leave the trash to the Fisherman?"
The Immortal Sheep seed satisfied, responding faintly.
Lu Ran digested the astonishing news. After a long pause, he spoke again: "Immortal Sheep Sir!"
Now that the gods had opened up, he, of course, seized the opportunity to respectfully ask: "Disciple has always been curious, why are the Stone Sculptures around the world full of local cultural colors?"
[Hmm?]
"In the West, there are angels and vampires; in North Africa, dog-headed humans; in India, elephant-headed deities. All these deities and demons are richly colored with local culture."
Lu Ran paused, then continued: "When it cos to our Da Xia side, East Thunder Spear, North Wind Blade, West Desolate Axe, and South Sea Bow all appear.
Sword One, Spiritual Fortune, Martial Artist, Yin Flower Dan are as local as they can be..."
[What are you trying to ask?] The voice carried a hint of amusent.
Lu Ran organized his words and boldly speculated: "Are gods and demons originally creatures of our Earth?"
[Your inference is correct.]
"Ah?" A storm stirred in Lu Ran’s heart; could it be that gods and demons indeed originate from Earth?
[Completely wrong.] A cold voice etched into his mind.
Lu Ran: ?
Not! Are you ssing with ?
[You learned from the Faceless Jade Venerable that gods and demons are nothing but running dogs, refugees who fled here.]
"Yes." Lu Ran nodded.
[What do gods and demons rely on for survival?]
"Origin Energy... uh, faith! Gods and demons need the faith of billions of the Human Clan."
[Yes, getting dyed in different cultural colors is simply to better accept worship, to take root locally and strengthen themselves.]
"Is that so..." Lu Ran murmured.
[Long before the deities invaded the Human World, they had a comprehensive understanding of your world. They also had internal conflicts, and combined with their own characteristics, they pre-selected the areas to settle and adjusted images and technique forms.]
"Adjust... images?"
[What did you think, why each Divine Sculpture is so indistinct, while divine shadows are bright and colorful with clear features?]
Lu Ran imdiately caught onto the thought, speculating: "The image of a Stone Sculpture is hard to drastically adjust, whereas shadows can change more easily?"
[Yes.]
"I see, I see..." Lu Ran muttered to himself.
[The descent of deities has only been over forty years. If they remain stationed for another hundred or thousand years, the image of the original Stone Sculpture will naturally beco clearer.]
"Why?"
[Use your brain!] The icy voice pierced his mind.
The sudden reprimand made Lu Ran shrink his head.
Your sheep...
Speaking nicely, why suddenly get angry?
My Evil Goddess girlfriend is more emotionally stable than you!
Lu Ran muttered in his heart, pondering deeply. The Immortal Sheep Sir ans that the Stone Sculptures will gradually beco clearer over ti.
When in Ro?
Oh, I get it. A land nurtures its people!
The customs and habits of different regions will nurture individuals with local characteristics.
Since gods feed on human faith, the "cultural food" provided by people from a land should gradually propitiate gods with local characteristics.
The Stone Sculptures should also be pleased with this.
After all, as the Immortal Sheep Sir said, before invading the Human World, the gods actively made so adjustnts.
It seems this pile of stones really wants to deeply root themselves on Earth and rule indefinitely, huh?
A bunch of bastards!
They certainly put a lot of effort into surface appearances.
"Thanks to the Immortal Sheep Sir for the guidance." Lu Ran thanked sincerely, clasped his hands, and bowed, "You are quite approachable today... hmm."
[Consider it a reward for still being alive.]
Lu Ran froze for a mont, then suddenly laughed.
Sheep General... quite interesting, huh?
Reporting achievents earned him a snort from the other side, along with a comnt about "having luck."
Just shy of directly calling it "dumb luck."
Despite its appearance, inside, the Sheep General must be overjoyed, right?
Otherwise, it couldn’t have been so verbose, unlike its usual self.
Tsk tsk,
Today’s Bossy Sheep is a Happy Sheep~
