Wandering Gods of Day and Night-Chapter 388 - 219 Heavenly King’s game_2

Zhou Xuan had already fully sorted out the action clues of the Three-headed Stone Buddha.

A hundred years ago,

The will of the Three-headed Stone Buddha manifested in the world, triggering a "divine miracle" in the Tree Clan, turning the Tree Clan tattoos into curse tattoos.

The curse tattoos continuously weakened the strength of the Tree Clan and also drained the power of the Ancestor Tree, among which Peng Hou played an inside and outside collaborative role.

When the Tree Clan was at its weakest, the Three-headed Stone Buddha appeared in the Snow Plain Prefecture, making Peng Sheng believe that creating a "man-made Heavenly God" was the only answer to reverse the crisis of the Tree Clan.

Thus, the Tree Clan’s Heavenly God Festival was held naturally.

The Three-headed Stone Buddha was waiting for the Tree Clan blood vessels at the Heavenly God Festival.

The three vessels capable of hosting the descent of a Heavenly God, when merged together, would allow the Three-headed Stone Buddha to truly descend into Jing Country.

The Three-headed Stone Buddha’s century-long scheme was, on one hand, to control the Tree Clan, and on the other hand, to descend.

Now,

the stone Buddha had not truly descended yet, Zhou Xuan felt that the Tree Clan still held a slim chance, though this chance was also quite slim.

"As long as there is a chance, never give up; this is my way of doing things."

At this moment, Zhou Xuan even forgot that he was just a future onlooker but only thought about encouraging the Tree Clan to launch a final resistance against the Three-headed Stone Buddha.

Inspired by Zhou Xuan, Peng Sheng roared to the clansmen, "Tree Clan members, raise your Bone Needles and fight the Great Ancestor and the Three-headed Stone Buddha!"

His war intent burned fiercely, and his resolve became firm, but the clansmen were still suppressed by Peng Hou’s Heavenly God level aura, making it difficult to even stand, let alone raise their Bone Needles.

To release the clansmen from their bondage, Peng Sheng formed his right hand into a sword gesture, pointing it at Peng Hou.

His Bone Needle became a white light, shooting straight at Peng Hou’s brow.

Peng Hou didn’t dodge, just glanced at the sky, where the dazzling fierce sun formed countless beams of light,

each becoming a light needle, swiftly sketching a gigantic evil ghost tattoo in the sky above Peng Town.

The evil ghost had a ghostly appearance like a Yaksha, with six eyes and nine arms, nine large hands, each holding a weapon,

peach wood sword, willow branch horsetail whisk, ginkgo wooden halberd...

This Yaksha evil ghost hovered above the heavenly dome, with the light needles quickly completing its Dharma Image.

Though its Dharma Image had not fully formed, innumerable powerful undercurrents had already condensed in the heavens and earth around Peng Town, pressing toward the Tree Clan members,

for a time, flying sand and rocks, the wind howling, and many clansmen were crushed into flesh, and Peng Sheng’s Bone Needle was blocked by the undercurrent, unable to advance before Peng Hou’s brow and eyes.

"Peng Hou, during nine incense sticks, on the twenty-four Divine Images, you comprehended the Heavenly Ghosts Covering the Sun Map again, soaring into the heavenly dome, slaying the old alien ghost, and becoming the new Tattoo Ancestor.

But you must have forgotten that the Heavenly Ghost Map was comprehended only after hundreds of clansmen’s bodies were hung upside down from the Peach Blossom Ancestor Tree,

The clansmen loathed the brutality of the previous Great Ancestor and cultivated you with the strength of the entire clan, and hundreds of clansmen sacrificed their lives to help you comprehend the Tao within nine incense sticks, which was the clansmen’s trust in you,

And now, you are actually using the Heavenly Ghost Map to crush the clansmen?"

Peng Hou stared at Peng Sheng, his words like icy thorns, cold and sharp, "Peach Blossom Witch, after I ascended to the heavenly dome and killed the old Tattoo Ancestor, I have been worried every day,

I relied on the Incense Fire Divine Dao, killed the old Great Ancestor, and became the new Great Ancestor, but if one day, I do something that displeases the Tree Clan, will the Tree Clan cultivate a new nine incense sticks to kill me and replace the Great Ancestor’s position?

The Tattoo Tree Clan has an extraordinary talent for cultivation, and a rare genius is born every hundred years, like you, barely over twenty, yet you’re already the eight incense sticks’ Peach Blossom Witch,

Clan members like you are beyond my control, and it’s hard for me to be at ease."

"I, Peng Sheng, have never coveted the position of Great Ancestor." Peng Sheng was a very honest person, only concerned about the fate of the Tree Clan in his heart.

"I don’t believe it." Peng Hou’s gaze was extremely soft, saying, "No one doesn’t covet the position of Great Ancestor, Peng Sheng, clansmen, I’m sorry, there are only two choices,

either submit to the Ming Stone Heavenly King, or... die under the Heavenly Ghost Map."

The expressions of the Tree Clan members were extremely complex,

Zhou Xuan’s expression was even more complex, as he further approached the truth.

The reason why Peng Hou betrayed the clansmen was indeed out of fear that the clansmen would usurp his position as the Great Ancestor.

However, without the Tattooed Clan, there would be no incense offerings in the human world; over time, Peng Hou’s strength would inevitably decline, isn’t he afraid that the Ancestors of other tangkou may ascend to the heavenly dome and take his place?

Even Gods can be replaced, like the Seven-leaved Venerable previously atop the heavenly dome, who was replaced by other God-level entities from other tangkou.

At this point, a thought suddenly popped into Zhou Xuan’s mind: "Domestication."

Peng Hou repeatedly declared for the clansmen to submit,

If submission was the case,

then it was that Peng Hou and the Three-headed Stone Buddha would, in future days, domesticate the Tree Clan members, treating them like pigs that only eat and sleep.

Wild boars have wild nature and may gore someone when provoked,

But by domesticating wild boars, turning them into domestic pigs, eliminating their resistance and even doubling the yield of fat and lean meat.

This was the state of the clansmen Peng Hou expected, but... he couldn’t achieve it alone.

If dissatisfied with the Great Ancestor’s actions, the Tree Clan would use the strength of the entire clan to cultivate a new Tattoo Ancestor,

Peng Hou, as a God-level entity, could not compete with the entire Tree Clan, and to achieve his "ideal," he could only "care" for the Tree Clan on the surface while secretly cooperating with the Three-headed Stone Buddha.

"Peng Hou, clansmen misplaced their trust in you, but I, Peng Sheng, and the clansmen refuse to let you have your way."
