Chapter 987: Chapter 918: Seeing Through
The sky finally brightened.
The dwarf Tikuz put away his Divine Skills Round Realm.
The sleeping old man woke up and was startled to see so many people around him.
Zhang San quickly explained to the old man, “Old man, these are so friends we t last night. We just got to know each other, but they’re all very enthusiastic, and we plan to go sowhere else with them. Would you like to co with us?”
Zhang San didn’t know what the old man’s true identity was, but he always felt that the old man was sowhat unique.
The old man glanced at the people around, then chuckled and said, “Great! I’ll join you. More people, more safety. By the way, young man, what’s your na?”
“My na is Zhang San. How should I address you, old man?”
“Just call Yuan.”
And so, Yuan joined Zhang San, Xue Lihong, and a few others from Source of Longevity as they headed southeast.
Along the way, Zhang San started introducing a series of policies Great Sui had implented to the people around him.
First, Great Sui and All Things Path collaborated to establish the Mountain God and river god systems, along with the Twelve Zodiacs system.
This alone piqued the interest of many people from Source of Longevity.
Zhang San seized the opportunity to say, “You may not know this, but I have a sworn brother who is one of the Twelve Superior Demons of All Things Path, and he is now a Great General of Great Sui. It’s because he is this year’s Zodiac—Niu, the Ox!”
“Although you are all from the human race, even the demon clan can beco Great Generals in Great Sui. Do you think you cannot make a na for yourself in Great Sui with your skills?”
Hearing this, more people present beca tempted.
After all, after leaving the Land of Eternal Night, they naturally needed to find another place to settle down and couldn’t keep wandering aimlessly on the vast grasslands.
Although they were indeed strong, and every mber of Source of Longevity possessed a Divine Skill,
the problem was that despite their powerful skills, they still needed people to serve them, and many wanted to pass on their skills.
So, even resorting to being bandits on the grasslands wouldn’t satisfy them.
They needed a place to settle down.
At this point, the dwarf Tikuz, who had been frowning, spoke up, “Zhang San, what you said is indeed good, but many of us neither practice the All Things Path nor the Imperial Path, so what you said doesn’t help us!”
“Hahaha… Brother Tikuz, you may not know. We in Great Sui are also negotiating with the Path of Life and Death for cooperation. Once we reach an agreent, the strong practitioners of the Path of Life and Death can beco City Gods across regions, establishing a new and complete City God system. By then, those who practice the Path of Life and Death will also be part of Great Sui.”
At this, a pale-faced woman suddenly spoke up, “But the Path of Life and Death has collapsed! Don’t you know? Now, it’s said to be a path, but it doesn’t even have half its power. Of the Ten Kings of Hell, only three or four remain.”
Zhang San was shocked upon hearing this.
What world-shaking news!
However, Zhang San maintained a calm facade and said, “I do know a bit about the Path of Life and Death, though not complete. What I knew before wasn’t this severe. Besides, if it really is this bad, wouldn’t it make the Path of Life and Death more inclined to cooperate with our Great Sui?”
Everyone nodded, agreeing that this made so sense.
However, Zhang San suddenly realized a critical issue at this mont.
He didn’t even know what happened to the Path of Life and Death, yet the people from Source of Longevity in the Land of Eternal Night knew.
This ant they were well-inford about this world, perhaps more so than himself.
If that were true, why, when he previously ntioned the impending Outer God invasion to them, did they seem just as ignorant as if they’d never heard of it?
Were they truly unaware, or were they pretending to be?
If they were pretending, Zhang San might just guess what their intentions were.
But if they truly didn’t know, who could block the information about the Outer God invasion yet make them aware of the major shifts in the Six Paths of this world?
At this mont, Zhang San’s mind was filled with countless thoughts.
But Zhang San was sure of one thing: these people were not trustworthy.
Because no matter how he thought about it, the seemingly aimless appearance of this group on the grasslands was peculiar.
Logically, they should have imdiately sought intelligence on the current world situation and then chosen a suitable place for their developnt.
After all, the seven or eight people here were in the Purple Mansion Realm, with notably strong individual strengths.
Moreover, they had a leader, supposedly surrounded by several followers.
From this perspective, the overall strength of these people must be formidable.
Yet such a group doesn’t seem at all anxious, which felt odd no matter how you looked at it.
Adding to the fact that they seemingly knew nothing about the Outer Gods made it even stranger for Zhang San.
Then, Zhang San couldn’t help but recall the Outer God followers he encountered back in Sword South Path.
Objects created by Outer Gods were completely alien, making them easily identifiable.
Even now, when Zhang San encountered such creations, he could discern their extraterrestrial nature through their distinct aura, rather than viewing them as beings from this world.
But what about the Outer God followers?
After all, those followers appeared almost indistinguishable from normal people.
Only they seed lost in mind.
However, hadn’t soone within the Eight Great Families once seen sane Purple Mansion Realm experts, which were apparently made by the Outer Gods?
This suggests the possibility that Outer God followers can appear normal while being essentially abnormal.
If one can beco an Outer God follower yet maintain rationality, the Outer Gods through such a plan could potentially create a group of powerful Purple Mansion Realm beings.
But employing such beings for attacks would yield low destruction efficiency.
If those powerful beings infiltrated various organizations in this world, spreading the Outer God faith, or committing sabotage at a certain mont,
their destructive capacity would be imasurable.
At this point, Zhang San looked again at the mbers of Source of Longevity present.
No matter who it was, Zhang San felt they resembled Outer God followers.
Considering Long Bo Khan’s previous actions, Zhang San even suspected if Long Bo Khan deliberately provided information about Source of Longevity to manipulate him into contacting them.
Because if they had co to him, he might have been suspicious.
But this ti, he approached them, and it was only after reconsidering that he might have any suspicions.
At this mont, Zhang San looked at those from Source of Longevity with a slight smile on his lips.
