AST 2104 - Joining The Divine Palace (2/2)
Qing Shui understood, he smiled and continued, “I have a few friends who are Battle Gods. I’ll ask them over later.”
Yuwen Da was not surprised this time, he nodded, “Come, let’s go and know the rest. This is the Divine Palace, all the Battle Gods who know about the organization will come.”
“Elder Brother, is there another Divine Palace in other places?” Qing Shui thought that in such a big world, the Battle Gods were not alone. Hence, it was not a strange thing to have a Divine Palace in other places.
“Of course, but we have the same mission. It is the same as the Demon Gate, it is not the only one. However, the Demon Gate and Divine Palace are already the highest organizations of the Demon Kings and Battle Gods. Hence, there will only be Demon Gates and Divine Palaces. Yet, we will merge and reorganize once we discover another. We can upgrade our forces that way.”
Yuwen Da sighed and paused, then he continued, “Still, the Battle Gods are still humans. Unpleasant things could happen because of individual benefits. Things such as that happened from time to time since a long, long time ago.”
Qing Shui was not surprised. These things were normal but heart-wrenching at the same time. Once such things triggered an internal conflict, injuries and death were common
“Is there no way to control this?” asked Qing Shui.
“It’s about controlling desires which are very hard to achieve. Once obsessed with desires, it is the same as the Demon King of Demon Gate,” The Hill Moving Battle God sounded depressed.
While chatting, they had reached the peak of the mountain. It was the Divine Palace here. There was a tall and grand hall at the peak. It was a vast area with many halls. The Battle God Teams made up most of the population. Yuwen Da told Qing Shui that there were 21 Battle Gods here. Including Qing Shui, there would be 22 of them in total.
Yuwen Da was not the one in charge here. The affairs were handled by the Golden Battle God who was also the Lord of Divine Palace. He was elderly, but he had a very long lifespan and was the strongest. Now, Yuwen Da was leading Qing Shui to meet this Golden Battle God.
The centermost hall was the most majestic one. Yuwen Da led Qing Shui and Niu Mang into the hall. They could see an elderly stood in the middle of the hall as soon as they entered as if he was expecting their arrival. He smiled and looked at them.
“Lord, this is Qing Shui,” Yuwen Da did not make a further introduction. He could see it, let alone the Lord who was stronger.
“Lord!” Niu Mang bowed and greeted.
The elderly waved, “Don’t have to make these greetings, they are pointless.”
As he finished, he stared at Qing Shui with a smile, “You and I are similar. How was it? Do you want to join the Divine Palace?”
The elderly gave a signal. Yuwen Da and Niu Mang left after saying their farewell.
Qing Shui smiled and said, “Yes, but I enjoy freedoms and I have some other affairs to deal with.”
“Joining the Divine Palace won’t leave any impact on you. The Divine Palace used to be strict and led by the superior’s individual desires. However, the Divine Palace practices the casual way later on. If the Lord is right, you follow. If you’re here for your own power or desires, you can reject and leave straight away,” The elderly laughed.
Qing Shui did not expect that the management was based on Laozi’s theory of non-action. However, the bad part was once the people slacked, the efficiency would be influenced. Everything was two-sided, there were pros and cons. Moreover, the capable ones would be reluctant to be highly restricted at this level.
That was great too, Qing Shui preferred it this way. Though it was his first time here, Qing Shui felt good and decided to stay. If possible, Qing Shui would bring Yin Tong and the others over here. It would be even better to train and practice here.
