Chapter 282: Ancestral Divine Temple
“You’d be wrong.” Li Qiye said with a smile: “G.o.dkings are not necessarily greater than True G.o.ds. There are many ways to call these beings, like G.o.ds, deities, or G.o.dly Monarchs. The people with these t.i.tles were not necessarily real G.o.ds. G.o.dkings were one thing, but most deities and G.o.dly Monarchs were false G.o.ds; of course, some of them were also bestowed G.o.dhood.”
Li Qiye continued on: “As for the G.o.dkings, this t.i.tle was not bestowed to just anyone, and there are many things to keep in mind. Not just anybody had the qualifications to bestow this t.i.tle. During the Desolate Era, G.o.dking bestowment was quite a rare matter, and even living Immortal Emperors were quite envious of such a privilege. During the Emperors Era, only Immortal Emperors could bestow this t.i.tle.”
Chi Xiaodie inquired again: “Was it an Immortal Emperor who bestowed the t.i.tle to my ancestor?”
Li Qiye shook his head and replied: “No, even Immortal Emperors were not necessarily able to bestow the G.o.dking t.i.tle. There were so many generals amongst the many races that spanned across the Nine Worlds. Regarding the legends of the G.o.ds, the person who bestowed the t.i.tle of G.o.dking was a supreme existence; he created a divine invest.i.ture platform — a platform of a True G.o.d! The person receiving the t.i.tle must be accepted by the generals of all the races. Once one was bestowed the G.o.dking t.i.tle, they would also be recognized by the True G.o.ds. An accepted G.o.dking was a real G.o.d, not a false G.o.d.”
“What about True G.o.ds?” Chi Xiaodie asked: “Are they the real deities?”
Li Qiye answered: “You could put it that way. To bear the t.i.tle of True G.o.d, one must have at least half the bloodline of a True G.o.d flowing in their veins. True G.o.ds are not humans nor part of the other races.”
Chi Xiaodie jolted at the revelation: “Then there is a True G.o.d race in this world? Just what kind of race is it?”
Chi Xiaodie had always thoughts that deities were only legends and had never heard of anyone actually seeing real G.o.ds. She wouldn’t believe Li Qiye’s words before, but now, she felt that they had a great degree of validity.
Li Qiye didn’t answer her, but she still couldn’t help but to ask more questions: “Who bestowed the t.i.tle to my ancestor?” Chi Xiaodie was quite curious. Who could it be if it wasn’t an Immortal Emperor? Who was even more qualified than an Immortal Emperor to perform the ceremony for their Chi Ancestor?
Li Qiye gave her a look and said: “I’m certain that it wasn’t an Immortal Emperor.” Chi Xiaodie’s thoughts couldn’t hide from Li Qiye’s eyes, so he slowly spoke: “The Immortal Emperor of that generation would not bestow your ancestor the t.i.tle of G.o.dking. Do you know the name of the war your ancestor partic.i.p.ated in?”
Chi Xiaodie said with a blank expression: “I think… it was called the Immortal War or something?” Chi Xiaodie pondered for a bit. She had heard of this legend, but as for the exact details, not to mention her, even the oldest member of the present Chi Clan would not be able to answer because there were no records of that year.
Li Qiye said: “The Immortal Ma.s.sacre War, also known as the Immortal Ma.s.sacre Campaign.”
She then asked: “The Immortal Ma.s.sacre War? Could it be that it was about killing immortals in the mortal world? Are there really immortals in this world?”
Li Qiye shook his head and responded: “No, not killing immortals, but an Immortal Emperor.” In a flash, Li Qiye’s gaze became profoundly deep. At this second, it was as if he had returned to the heroic yet tragic era of the past.
“Killing an Immortal Emperor!” Chi Xiaodie didn’t dare to imagine such a frightening thing.
Before Immortal Emperors shouldered the Heaven’s Will to become invincible, there was a chance for others to defeat or kill them. However, once they carried the Heaven’s Will, they alone would stand at the highest peak and achieve solitary invincibility throughout the rest of their lives!
It was too unbelievable that there were people who had killed an Immortal Emperor in the distant ancient era.
Chi Xiaodie was shocked and lost her mind for a while after hearing this. She eventually murmured in a daze: “Immortal Ma.s.sacre Campaign, slaying an Immortal Emperor!”
No one would believe such a tale about the Chi Ancestor partic.i.p.ating in the Immortal Ma.s.sacre Campaign and how he was present in a war to kill an Immortal Emperor. Even Chi Xiaodie couldn’t believe it, but somehow she trusted that this matter actually happened.
One did not need to envision such a scene; only hearing about the legends regarding slaying an Immortal Emperor was enough to make one’s blood boil with excitement.
After a while, she became calm again and took a deep breath to look at Li Qiye before asking: “What was the outcome?” She very much wanted to know the result of this mythical war.
However, Li Qiye didn’t answer Chi Xiaodie’s question. He simply gazed at the far distance with a profound glare.
Li Qiye withdrew his gaze after a long time and then looked at Chi Xiaodie to say: “You must be tired, go get some rest. There will be a lot more things to do in the next couple of days.”
At this time, Chi Xiaodie was quite dirty as her pretty face was covered in dirt. After a full day of manual labor, she almost turned into a stray cat.
After hearing Li Qiye’s words, she became spirited again. After smelling the unpleasant scent on her body, she was both angry and annoyed as she quickly went to take a bath.
