Chapter 212: The Furious Dusk Venerable

Chapter 212: The Furious Dusk Venerable

Silence.

The Ancient Deities in attendance fell silent.

The Three-Day Annihilation of a Hundred Demons.

This plan was too chilling.

Previously, the Demon Deity Camp might have hesitated due to their formidable power, or they might have waited and contacted other Demon Deity Camps to consolidate their forces before marching towards Qing Shui Village.

But once Qi Yuan initiated the Three-Day Annihilation of a Hundred Demons plan, it would undoubtedly plunge the fallen zone into war.

The Great Venerables of the Demon Deity Camps could no longer afford to sit idly by.

At that time, it would truly be a Divine Battle! An endless Divine Battle.

"Your Excellency, this will start a Divine Battle!"

An Ancient Deity spoke with difficulty.

The Ancient Deities present could be certain that after the Three-Day Annihilation of a Hundred Demons, the Demon Deity Camp's army would undoubtedly consolidate within two days and head towards Qing Shui Village.

By then, their strength would be far from enough to confront the Demon Deities.

"A Divine Battle is good! Every day, a large amount of Demon Deity Essence Energy will be deposited, we're going to make a fortune!" Qi Yuan clapped his hands in excitement.

The other Ancient Deities exchanged glances, unsure what to say.

Indeed, it was a lucrative opportunity, but they also needed to stay alive to enjoy the rewards.

"Rest assured, my plan is foolproof! Just follow my instructions, and the Demon Deities will surely be defeated!" Qi Yuan said confidently.

The Ancient Deities on the field hesitated.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuangshi spoke up, "Stop being so indecisive, what's the point of being a True Deity! I, Zhu Zhuangshi, am the first to support Your Excellency's plan!"

Shi Chongshan quickly added, "I support it too!"

"Let's not worry about the future, I don't believe Your Excellency will harm us!" Wang Song Gu Shen spoke up.

Seeing this, the other Ancient Deities finally had no more objections.

At this moment, the twin sister lowered her head and said, "Please, Your Excellency, inform us of the plan, so we can carry it out as well!"

The rest of them also looked at Qi Yuan, and since they had chosen to pledge their loyalty, everything would be done according to Qi Yuan's commands.

"Xiao Qi!" Qi Yuan called out at this moment.

After about a hundred breaths, Xiao Qi rushed over, looking disheveled, and asked, "Foster Father, you're back?"

Xiao Qi looked at Qi Yuan and the numerous Ancient Deities behind him, and a look of surprise flashed through her eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

"Xiao Qi, in Lin Kingdom, how many True Deity-level Demon Deities are there?" Qi Yuan asked.

"There are still 43 of them, including 5 at the Sky Treading Third Step, but the Sky Treading Second Step and Sky Treading First Step are unknown!" Xiao Qi answered seriously.

"Is that all?" Qi Yuan was a little disappointed.

The number of Demon Deities in Lin Kingdom was somewhat lacking.

"The first step of the Three-Day Annihilation of a Hundred Demons plan is for you twenty Ancient Deities with Divine Domain Seeds to finish your meals and head to the various cities in Lin Kingdom to kill those Demon Deities for me!" In an instant, Qi Yuan's meticulous plan was already one-third complete.

"..."

"..."

Silence.

The Ancient Deities on the field were at a loss for words, and even Wang Song Gu Shen's beard twitched.

This plan was indeed too casual.

Qi Yuan seemed to have tired of speaking and picked up the water on the table, taking a sip, "The plan for the first day is already set, now for the second day.

Xiao Qi, which country is closest to our Lin Kingdom? How many Demon Deities are there?"

"The closest is Maple Country, with 72 Demon Deities." Xiao Qi answered seriously.

As the sole strategist and logistics expert of Qing Shui Village, one could say that she took on all the dirty and tiring work.

She had also gathered this information for Qi Yuan in advance.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan frowned, "It seems there are more Demon Deities in Maple Country.

On the first day, we only killed forty Demon Deities, which is a bit wasteful. Moreover, we might have scared away the Demon Deities in Maple Country.

I think we should scrap the previous plan and start anew!"

The Ancient Deities on the field fell silent once more.

They felt that everything was like a child's play.

Fortunately, the plan was revised.

After all, the first day's plan seemed... unreliable.

"I think we should change the three-day plan to a one-day plan.

Now, all of you will head to Lin Kingdom and Maple Country and slaughter all these Demon Deities!" Qi Yuan said passionately.

The subjects before him all had Divine Domain Seeds.

When facing opponents below the Great Venerable level, they could almost always achieve an instant kill.

Since this was the case, it was best to act swiftly and kill all the Demon Deities.

If they took too long, the three-day plan might turn into a situation where the Demon Deities would flee upon hearing the news.

Therefore, Qi Yuan shortened the duration of the plan.

Qi Yuan instantly felt that he was indeed a genius, considering the variables on the battlefield and the problem of Demon Deities escaping.

In terms of wisdom, only the Great Wise True Lord in the Waveheart Realm could rival him.

"Can you do it?" Qi Yuan asked directly, looking at the more than twenty Ancient Deities.

The Ancient Deities on the field were momentarily dumbfounded.

"We can," the twin sister replied, "If we have a map, we can cover a thousand miles in a day and annihilate all these Demon Deities!"

But it would only be for one day.

The moment tomorrow dawns, the entire Lin Northwestern region, especially around Lin Kingdom, is likely to descend into chaos.

"Qi Qi, where's the map?" Qi Yuan once again asked his trusted advisor, his dog-headed military strategist.

"Foster father, just a moment." Qi Qi vanished in a puff of smoke and quickly returned, holding a stack of maps, which he distributed to the Ancient Deities present.

Qi Yuan's eyes sparkled with a smile, "With the plan set, half the battle is already won. The other half depends on you all."

Qi Yuan's eyes were filled with anticipation as he looked at the Ancient Deities.

The Ancient Deities on the field were a mix of emotions.

Some were thrilled.

As Ancient Deities, they were accustomed to retreating.

Taking the initiative to attack like this was something they had never even considered before.

Although they knew they would soon face a massive army's encirclement, the initial phase would be truly exhilarating and satisfying!

"To increase the efficiency of our plan, I've specially prepared some Fish-Frying Thunder Bombs for you all," Qi Yuan said, distributing some Dark Thunder Orbs to the group.

Seeing this, the Ancient Deities accepted the Fish-Frying Thunder Bombs.

"Thank you, Tianzun."

"Good, everyone, feel free to enjoy the feast. In half an hour, we'll go and slay our enemies," Qi Yuan declared with grand enthusiasm.

Under his leadership and with the plan in motion, everything in the Mundane Heart World seemed to be developing in a positive direction.

So, all the Ancient Deities dispersed and mingled among the banquet guests.

Among them, Zhu Zhuangshi found the Great Black Dog and plopped down on its back, causing the dog to yelp in protest.

The current Zhu Zhuangshi was far superior to his former self, and the Great Black Dog was no match for him.

At that moment, the twin sisters sat together, eating and communicating through telepathy.

"Sister, why does today's plan sound so... unreliable?" The twin sister expressed her surprise.

She had executed plans before, and those plans were always detailed, with each step meticulously outlined and contingency plans for emergencies.

Today's plan, however, was far too hasty.

Even Origin Tianzun seemed to be asking his foster daughter questions while formulating the plan, as if he had come up with it on a whim.

"But, although the plan seems unreliable, I feel very confident about completing it. In contrast, the previous plans, despite being detailed, always made me anxious and fearful of failure each time I executed them," the twin sister confessed her thoughts.

The twin sister then smiled and explained, "This is no ordinary plan; it's a strategy to overpower ten opponents!

With our strength, why do we need meticulous planning? We can just charge forward.

The same goes for killing a hundred deities in a day.

We don't need a plan; we just need to overpower and annihilate these evil deities."

To be honest, the twin sister agreed with Qi Yuan's words.

In warfare, speed is paramount.

A swift strike that doesn't give the enemy time to react is the key to achieving greater victories.

"You're right, sister," the twin sister nodded in understanding. But then, a thought crossed her mind, and she looked worried, "But what about after this plan is completed?"

Her concern was not without reason.

"Rest assured, the Divine Lord must have already made preparations.

He may appear eccentric, but how many of those who have reached the True Deity Realm are truly foolish?

This time, in the Ancestral Ground, the Lord's gains might even surpass what we've witnessed." The twin sister offered an explanation, which was also one of the reasons she agreed to carry out the plan.

Meanwhile, Qi Yuan spotted Zhu Zhuangshi and casually said, "You're bullying the Great Black Dog. Aren't you afraid that one day it will turn the tables on you?"

Zhu Zhuangshi quickly put on a respectful expression, "Then I, Zhu Zhuangshi, must bully it even more now. If I don't do it now and wait until it turns the tables, I might lose my chance to bully it."

Qi Yuan smiled upon hearing this, "You're still the same as before."

The current Zhu Zhuangshi's observed deity was none other than the Heavenly General Tianpeng.

Qi Yuan discovered that when using the God Contemplation Technique to borrow power, the borrowed power would, to some extent, amplify their emotions and cause them to say things that didn't align with their usual behavior.

This influence, however, was not permanent.

These individuals were still themselves, and Qi Yuan had once conducted a small experiment while on the Mountain of Meditation.

The Four Saints of the North Pole included a Deputy Commander, but when Qi Yuan used the Stellar Core to contemplate, he forgot about the Deputy Commander.

What he observed and formulated in the God Contemplation Technique was the Chief Commander.

And the Heavenly Strategy General that emerged from this observation was indeed the Chief Commander.

These deities could be entirely different in various versions, including their identities, statuses, and strengths.

However, what was condensed and manifested was based on Qi Yuan's memories.

At that time, Qi Yuan had a sudden inspiration—what if he fabricated something entirely?

Unfortunately, the result was a failure.

So, visualization is not mere imagination, and one must aim precisely.

Qi Yuan looked at Zhu Zhuangshi, "You don't need to go for the one-day plan. I have an important task to entrust to you."

Zhu Zhuangshi's heart was filled with joy upon hearing this.

The adult was treating him specially!

"Adult, please give your orders to Old Zhu!" Zhu Zhuangshi said excitedly.

He looked at Shi Chongshan with a sense of pride, as well as the large black dog on the ground, as if to say, "See, this is what a true heir is."

Half a day later.

At a stronghold of the Ancient Deity Alliance.

The rain continued to fall, and a man in white hurriedly approached, his face filled with anxiety.

The door opened, and the white-clad man entered the hall, bringing in a gust of cold air. The three Venerables in the hall all had worried expressions.

"What's wrong?" Wan Shan Venerable frowned.

"Adult, that group of Ancient Deities killed another New Deity. Today, all the Evil Deities in the three cities near us were killed in battle," the man in white said hastily.

This should have been a joyous occasion, but he spoke with a worried expression.

"What's the background of that group of Ancient Deities? Why are they so powerful?" Wan Shan Venerable asked.

Wen Yang Venerable shook his head, "Sigh, although their slaughter of Evil Deities is satisfying, it has dragged our Maple Country into the flames of war. I'm afraid that before long, the Evil Deity Camp will retaliate and sweep through Maple Country.

The strongholds we've established with great difficulty may be affected, and the people of Maple Country... may also suffer a tragic bloodbath."

"Why is Wen Yang Venerable so pessimistic? Even if they hadn't stepped up to kill the Evil Deities, would the Evil Deities not have taken action against us?" At this moment, Huang Hun Venerable, who had been silent, spoke up, "No matter what, I admire their courage to kill the Evil Deities!"

Wan Shan Venerable agreed with Wen Yang Venerable, "It's a pity, sigh, with such strong power, why don't they lie low and act like us in the Ancient Deity Alliance, considering the long-term and prioritizing the greater good?

They have killed many Evil Deities, but they are all small fry, and it doesn't fundamentally solve the predicament of the fallen areas.

There are three Evil Deity Camps around us, and if the Grand Venerables of the Evil Deity Camp take action, they will have no place to hide!"

Huang Hun Venerable's heart filled with indignation upon hearing this.

Others are killing Evil Deities outside, and you're sitting here talking nonsense?

Are the ones they killed just small fry?

Look at you, being in the Ancient Deity Alliance for hundreds of years, always talking about the greater good, and in the end, you haven't even killed a single small fry.

"If the Evil Deity Camp takes action, we in the Ancient Deity Alliance can go to their rescue and lend them a helping hand!" Huang Hun Venerable said.

Wan Shan Venerable smiled, "Huang Hun Venerable, you're being a bit impulsive.

By acting like this, they have exposed themselves.

The Evil Deity Camp will definitely not let them off.

Once the Evil Deity Camp takes action, they will surely die!

We don't need to sacrifice our own people for the sake of some dead men.

I just received news that these Ancient Deities who took action claim to be from Qing Shui Village and are followers of some Origin Venerable.

Why haven't I heard of this village? What kind of favor did they receive to become so strong?

Sigh, they are truly impulsive. They should have lain low after obtaining the favor.

Such impulsiveness is just seeking death.

These favors would be better off given to us in the Ancient Deity Alliance, as we can make better use of them.

It's a waste to exhaust the treasures of the Mundane Heart World just to kill some small fry."

"Hmph! I'm ashamed to be associated with you!" Huang Hun Venerable finally couldn't hold back, "If you won't go to their rescue, I will!"

Huang Hun Venerable had met the Origin Venerable before.

In the past, the Origin Venerable had invited him to become his follower, but Huang Hun Venerable refused.

Now it seems that he shouldn't have refused.

The Ancient Deity Alliance before him was full of freeloaders.

Look at what they're saying, is that even human talk?

They spout a bunch of grand principles, a bunch of talk about prioritizing interests, and a bunch of talk about the greater good.

In the end, they mock the Ancient Deities who dared to take action against the Evil Deities?

Huang Hun Venerable directly left with a wave of his sleeve.

Wan Shan Venerable and Wen Yang Venerable in the hall were stunned.

The two of them were quite angry after hearing Huang Hun Venerable's words.

"A bunch of shortsighted brutes who only know how to fight and kill!"

"Wan Shan, why bother arguing with Huang Hun Venerable? When the Divine Battle begins, the first ones to die will be people like him!"

Wan Shan Venerable took a deep breath and said with a sense of concern for the country and its people, "Everything is for the world, for continuation."

"Huang Hun Venerable left, so be it. He's just a Sky Treading Second Step, and once he leaves the Ancient Deity Alliance, he's nothing." Wen Yang Venerable spoke, but the next moment, his expression changed slightly, "This Huang Hun Venerable is going too far, he's actually digging at the roots of our Ancient Deity Alliance!"

"What?"

"He's calling for reinforcements for Qing Shui Village!"
