Chapter 160 Gods and Immortals
"I didn't hand you over to my grandfather because I have something to ask you," Gu Yan said.
Umir chuckled, "Handing me over to him won't do any good, will it?"
"How could it be useless? By eating you, Grandpa can become a god. During this time, I have read a lot of ancient stone tablets in the Temple of the Sun, some of which contain methods for becoming a god. The simplest way for a quasi-god to become a god is to devour a weak deity," Gu Yan said coldly.
Umir chuckled, "What you said is indeed true, but that's under the condition that our origins are the same. Your grandfather is the sun, the light, and I am darkness; our powers are completely opposite. If he were to devour me, even if he didn't die, he would become a mad god devoid of reason."
Gu Yan raised an eyebrow and then snorted coldly:
"Just because I can't devour you doesn't mean you're useless. Dismembering you and exchanging your benefits with others isn't bad either. The Supreme Emperor of Tianyin might really like your divine status; his power origins seem quite similar to yours."
"If you give my divine status to someone else, wouldn't that make enemies for the Tianyang royal family?" Umir laughed.
Gu Yan continued coldly, "Disassembling an evil god and refining it into a weapon is also a good option. Even if it has no other use, killing you can quell my hatred. I think my grandfather would be very willing to help me with this."
Umir's smile vanished, replaced by a fragile and helpless expression on her stunning face, a sight that evoked deep pity. She knelt on the ground, her long silver hair cascading down her back like a waterfall, her ruby-like eyes gazing at Gu Yan, who sat cross-legged, and asked:
"Then, my master, what will it take to spare my life? What do you want to know?"
"Why did you come to Yunlan Realm in the first place? Don't tell me you were just passing by." Gu Yan's gaze sharpened.
Umir said solemnly:
"If I said I came for you, would you believe me?"
Gu Yan: "For me? What do you mean?"
"When I passed by this planet, I sensed the aura of cultivators, so I was curious to take a look," Umir said.
"Are cultivators very rare to you?" Gu Yan asked doubtfully.
"Throughout the myriad realms, there are almost no traces of cultivators left," Umir said.
Gu Yan keenly sensed that there was some significant reason behind it: "Why?"
Umir did not answer.
Gu Yan said coldly, "Do you want me to invite my grandfather over?"
"Because in the final battle between immortals and gods, you were almost completely wiped out. The immortal realm shattered, all the powerful beings of the immortal realm perished, and the various god-kings and rulers destroyed countless planets and countless worlds to prevent the immortal race from making a comeback. Anything with a cultivation lineage was destroyed."
"The myriad realms are so vast that destroying all the seeds of the immortal race is not so easy. Heaven knows in which corner there is still a legacy of immortal cultivation hidden. Therefore, all of us gods have reached a consensus: kill any cultivator we encounter."
Umir sighed as he spoke:
"Actually, I came here to kill you. But I didn't expect you to be so beautiful, I just couldn't bring myself to do it..."
The beautiful, silver-haired, red-eyed evil god tried to lean on Gu Yan again, but Gu Yan dodged him.
Gu Yan's gaze remained sharp as he stared at her, seemingly questioning the sincerity of her words. He asked, "Why do gods and immortals fight?"
"Gods can draw power from faith, but immortals do not. As the number of cultivators like you increases, the number of people who believe in gods will decrease." Umir stopped there.
Gu Yan already understood.
After becoming gods, beings in all the myriad realms can absorb the power of faith to strengthen themselves. However, cultivators have always believed in transcendence and freedom; they are atheists and only believe in themselves.
After achieving immortality, immortals no longer need incense offerings to enhance themselves. This applies to celestial immortals, earthly immortals, human immortals, ghost immortals, demon immortals, monster immortals, Confucian immortals…
None of them require incense.
Gods, however, require a great deal of incense and faith. If all the beings in the myriad realms were to pursue immortality, the gods would become weaker and weaker. Thus, the two became opposed to each other, igniting one great war after another.
"This planet is in a remote place and is not noticed by the gods, but if you become an immortal, the moment you undergo tribulation, you will definitely attract the attention of countless gods, and they will not let you go." Umir looked at the peerless face of the boy in front of him. If those guys saw him, they would definitely want to take him away.
No, no, absolutely not, this little guy is mine.
She reached out to stroke Gu Yan's fair face, but Gu Yan's eyes turned cold, and she immediately withdrew her hand, feigning weakness.
"Master, I'm only giving you this advice out of good intentions. Those guys aren't as easy to talk to as I am. If you fall into their hands, you'll definitely suffer a fate worse than death."
"Your maternal grandfather is also about to become a god. If he does, he will surely attract the attention of the Great Sun Golden Crow clan in the divine realm, and you will definitely be discovered then."
"With your talent, switching to spiritual arts would be a piece of cake. You also have the bloodline of the Great Sun Golden Crow, so why not abandon the path of immortality now and switch to the path of divinity? One day you can become gods together with your maternal grandfather and uncle, wouldn't that be a happy ending for everyone?"
After speaking, Umir stared intently at Gu Yan's face. The boy's face was flawless, but his eyes were deep and unfathomable, and Umir could not see through his thoughts at that moment.
Umir then said:
"If you continue cultivating immortality, even if you eventually become an immortal, you will have to stand against your family, and you will become the common enemy of all the gods in the heavens and myriad realms? Do you want to be an enemy of all the gods in the heavens and myriad realms?"
As Umir spoke, she grabbed one of Gu Yan's arms, but Gu Yan pushed her away abruptly.
The silver-haired evil god slumped to the ground, his figure alluring, his shoulders slightly exposed, gazing at Gu Yan with resentment. Gu Yan coldly said, "The divine realm has a Great Sun Golden Crow?"
"Yes, there are quite a few."
"Why haven't they appeared in the Cloud Realm?"
"With so many offspring, who cares about a mixed-race descendant from some backwater? But if one of their descendants were to become a god, it would definitely be detected, and they would certainly send someone to pick him up."
What is the strongest member of the Great Sun Golden Crow clan?
"God King".
"And you?"
Umir laughed and said, "I am just a minor mid-level god."
"Master, although you have the bloodline of the Great Sun Golden Crow, even if the Great Sun Golden Crow of the God Realm discovers you, they will not show any mercy. Either you hide for the rest of your life, or you give up cultivating immortality and abandon the path of immortality to become a god."
Gu Yan snorted coldly and took out the Demon Refining Pot to put Wu Mier's clone into it.
He believed at most half of what Umir said.
He didn't believe this girl would be so kind as to tell him everything; there must be a mix of truth and falsehood in what she just said.
Indeed, just as Gu Yan had suspected, some of what Umir said was true, and some was false. For example, her claim that the immortal race was almost completely wiped out in the last war between immortals and gods was false.
In reality, both sides suffered heavy losses, so they hated each other intensely and would destroy any trace of the other's lineage.
