Chapter 823: Becoming a God

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Chen Xiu’s heart was calm like water. With his head lowered, he spoke in a calm tone without showing the least bit of emotion. He had thought about what he would say previously, since if he admitted in front of Asura that he had killed Ming Xiu, he would really be courting death.

What sort of person was Asura? He was the ancestor of all the residents of Asura City and an innate ancient god. He knew everything about the clan treasures which could raise anyone’s cultivation to god realm temporarily.

Ming Xiu had used Asura Eyes to raise his cultivation to god realm, so how could he, who was at the ninth layer of great flux expert realm before, him? It would be a big gaping hole in his narration if he said it like that.

The best justification was to have a holy daughter, who was also a god, personally attack him.

As expected then, when Asura heard his explanation, he nodded his head. Ashbi, who sat next to him, was slightly startled and suspiciously asked, “If Ming Xiu was killed by a holy daughter, how did you escape and also get hold of Asura Eyes?”

Everything is filled with loopholes, Ashbi thought while looking at Chen Xiu with a sneer.

“After Ming Xiu died, I quickly snatched Asura Eyes and used them to raise my cultivation to god realm to escape. As for the holy daughter, she naturally wouldn’t chase after me since she needed to protect Ancient God Lakshmi who was seizing a new body,” Chen Xiu said, continued to concoct more lies.

When Ashbi heard that, he sneered and continued to inquire further. “The four young masters were swindled by Ancient God Lakshmi, and all of them fought to forcibly take away the children. So how did you know whose body Ancient God Lakshmi had possessed?”

“If she didn’t have some backup, Ancient God Lakshmi would’ve been found by god father long ago. Moreover, at that time, I happened to discover the person possessed by Ancient God Lakshmi by chance because I wanted to forcibly take the holy daughter as my wife.

“At first, the four young masters fought over the children emitting the five-colored light until Luo Tian won and left. Jasmine and Domingle then went to intercept him.

“I and Ming Xiu remained behind in the Pipa Clan to force the newly appointed holy daughter to become ours. Both of us wanted to obtain a god as a helper, but while we were fighting, the Pipa Clan’s holy daughter produced a vision attracting the other holy daughters.

“Ming Xiu was killed in the struggle, and at that moment, a multicolored light blossomed from the jade pipa in the hands of the Pipa Clan’s holy daughter...”

Chen Xiu fabricated more lies, but when Asura lying on his leather chair heard them, he believed the story. Although he could not closely follow the events in Lakshmi City, he had sensed when Liu Bailing had used her strength to produce the vision.

“Little guy, you are interesting. Since you didn’t kill Ming Xiu, then why did you not return to your clan’s residence to meet with Jiao Xiu and instead made a beeline for the city lord’s mansion?” Asura asked with a charming smile.

“If I had returned to the clan’s residence, then even if I explained myself, Jiao Xiu would still imprison me in the spirit prison and torture me for eternity. I would rather die than live like that. That’s why I used Asura Eyes and came directly to the city lord’s mansion to use everything I know to exchange for a chance at survival.”

Chen Xiu felt his head spin, and his whole body began to sway. He seemed to be becoming weightless.

“Who do you think of exchanging it with? Me or god father? Regardless of whoever it is, you don’t have the qualifications to do it,” Ashbi sarcastically commented.

He completely disapproved of Chen Xiu, not because Chen Xiu had retorted to his argument, but because as a person with impure bloodline, he dared to abandon his master and escape without the slightest consciousness of a servant.

“God father said that whoever could bring the missing part of Ancient God Lakshmi’s soul would obtain the opportunity to become a god. Although I hadn’t brought the ancient goddess, what I brought is still better than a group of useless children like Luo Tian had done. I will exchange the appearance of the person whom Ancient Goddess Lakshmi possessed for the chance to survive,” Chen Xiu said respectfully.

Asura place down his crystal wineglass and walked in front of Chen Xiu. He placed his hands on Chen Xiu’s head and investigated his memories as well as examined the Pipa Clan’s holy daughter Liu Bailing, who had been possessed by the Ancient God Lakshmi. After browsing through his memories, he became even more certain that Chen Xiu’s words were true. Although memories could be altered, only people with both strength and skill could do it.

No living creature in Lanlou would be able to do it. The fear of gods had been deeply rooted into them, and they could not break through that fear and change their memory.

Asura casually waved his hand, and the half god’s power rampaging in Chen Xiu’s body came flying out and scattered in the air. In an instant, Chen Xiu fell on the ground and began to gasp for breath.

Although the half god’s power had been dispersed, it had already destroyed all the meridians in his body, leaving him a cripple.

“This senior is very satisfied with the information you brought back. Therefore, you can live, and I will even bestow the opportunity to become a god upon you.”

When Asura said that, his six arms stretched into the void and pulled out a ball of white light and threw it at Chen Xiu.

Ashbi, who stood on the side, was instantly astonished upon seeing the ball of light. Incredulity appeared on his face. He hadn’t expected that god father would surprisingly give such an enormous amount of power of belief to Chen Xiu.

After the ball of light entered Chen Xiu, dazzling white light covered his body.

An enormous pressure burst out from the white light. When Chen Xiu sensed the ball of light entering his body, his ruptured meridians were quickly healed. A warm and powerful energy spread inside his body. Instantly, his cultivation soared from initial stage of sage flux expert to middle stage sage flux expert. Moments later, it rose again, to late stage, and finally the great circle.

After reaching great circle, the rate of increase in his cultivation slowed down. When the last bit of power of belief erupted, however, Chen Xiu’s cultivation jumped to god realm, and the pressure of a god burst out from his body.

Instantly, all of Asura City sensed the presence of a god originating from the city lord’s mansion. The three young masters waiting at the gate of the city lord’s mansion also sensed that divine presence, and a hint of a smile touched their lips. Just as they had expected,, Chen Xiu had died.

“Let’s go, the drama is over. We should return home,” Jasmine said while returning to her palanquin. Once inside, she ordered the men to carry her to the Deva Clan.

Domingle and Luo Tian followed behind her. Only Ming Wang stayed behind, waiting calmly. He had to take Chen Xiu’s corpse back with him.

If he was alive, Jiao Xiu would want to see him personally, and if he was dead, then Jiao Xiu would still want to see his corpse.

Inside the city lord’s mansion, Chen Xiu slowly opened his eyes and saw Asura in front of him. A hint of excitement appeared on his face. He knelt down and said, “Long live god father.”

“En, from now on, you are my sixth son with the name Aschen. If you have any matters, then settle them without hesitation. After finishing them, come see me in the city lord’s mansion.”

Asura waved his hand and returned to lie on his leather chair while swaying his crystal glass.

Chen Xiu saluted him and then went out of the room by himself. He opened the door and saw the maid who had escorted him waiting outside, holding a sack and rope. When she saw Chen Xiu’s intact body, she was flabbergasted and shouted out, “Why are you alive!”
