"If Lord Lu Shen were alive, there would naturally be no better solution!"
The Azure-robed Celestial God stated directly, "After all, who would easily relinquish control of the Divine Realm!"
The Old Celestial God frowned, unsure of what to do.
If he were in control of the divine race, he would undoubtedly allow everyone in the divine race to enjoy all the resources of the Divine Realm.
But no matter what, the current situation was difficult to accept.
"Old Celestial God, have you thought it through?"
The Azure-robed Celestial God spoke again, his expression even more solemn.
He was very concerned about this matter.
The other Celestial Gods also looked over, paying close attention.
The divine race was currently in a prosperous state, but Lu Fan wanted the divine race to coexist peacefully with other races, which they naturally could not accept.
After all, in their eyes, other races were too lowly and must be governed by the divine race.
However, with Lu Fan around, their way of thinking could naturally not be realized.
Upon returning to his residence, the Old Celestial God appeared dazed, deeply preoccupied with the day's events.
After a long while, the Azure-robed Celestial God appeared in the Old Celestial God's room, letting out a light chuckle, "Old Celestial God, what have you decided?"
"Lord Lu Shen has bestowed a grace of rebirth upon our divine race. If we truly do this,
how will we face the people of the divine race if they find out in the future?"
The Old Celestial God said directly, "Without the support of the divine race, wouldn't our efforts be in vain!"
"Old Celestial God, there is no need to worry!"
The Azure-robed Celestial God chuckled, "Once the Divine Lord drinks the poisoned wine, he will inevitably feel unwell. After we deal with him, we will inform the divine race that Lord Lu Shen, after a great battle with Ancestral Dragon, was greatly depleted and ultimately perished!"
"This..."
The Old Celestial God's expression shifted. He had not expected the Azure-robed Celestial God to have even prepared a plausible excuse, which left him somewhat stunned.
"Once Lord Lu Shen is dealt with, the entire divine race, and even the entire Divine Realm, will be under the Old Divine Lord's control. Do you wish to miss such an opportunity!"
The Old Celestial God was slightly taken aback, his expression instantly turning sharp, "Good, I agree. We will eliminate Lu Shen, and from then on, the entire divine race will obey me!"
"That's the spirit!"
The Azure-robed Celestial God's face lit up with joy. With the Old Celestial God's word, he felt much more at ease.
"But I am curious, why are you helping me?"
The Old Celestial God said directly, "Are you seeking something in return!"
"Since this is a transaction between me and the Old Celestial God, I hope to become the second-in-command in the entire Divine Realm, assisting the Old Celestial God in governing the entire divine race. That should not be a problem, right!"
"Naturally, there is no problem!"
The Old Celestial God nodded slightly, his joy growing. This might not be a bad thing for him.
Once the matter was successful, he would be the master of the entire Divine Realm. This was naturally a great temptation for him. Sudan Novel Network
"Tomorrow is the celebration banquet. Once we get Lord Lu Shen to drink this poisoned wine at the banquet, everything will be accomplished!"
The Azure-robed Celestial God produced the poisoned wine, a playful smile gracing his lips.
The Old Celestial God's expression was solemn. With matters having reached this point, he naturally knew what he had to do.
At the same time, within the Heavenly Pavilion, Lu Fan gazed at the divine essence in his hand, his eyes filled with joy.
For many years in the Divine Realm, he had been searching for the most suitable vessel to revive Lin Ke'er. Now, with the Ancestral Dragon divine essence as the vessel, Lin Ke'er would surely be able to return.
When he first came to the cultivation world, he was looking for the most suitable vessel, but unfortunately, Lu Fan had never found a satisfactory one.
Now, with the Ancestral Dragon divine essence, this matter was bound to succeed!
After mixing Lin Ke'er's divine soul with the Ancestral Dragon divine essence, Lu Fan waited nearby, his expression extremely serious.
The next day, Lu Fan looked at the divine soul within the Heavenly Pavilion and found that Lin Ke'er's divine soul was gradually strengthening under the nourishment of the divine essence.
It was expected that Lin Ke'er would awaken before long, and in doing so, he would not have lived up to his years of anticipation.
"Divine Lord, there is a celebration banquet tonight. When does the Divine Lord plan to attend!"
The Old Celestial God approached, his expression appearing somewhat obsequious.
"Celebration banquet?"
Lu Fan was perplexed, "Why do I not know that the divine race is holding a celebration banquet?"
"The Divine Lord's suppression of the Dragon Clan is a great joyous occasion for our divine race, so this celebration banquet is naturally unavoidable!" the Old Celestial God stated directly, "Does the Divine Lord not wish to attend!"
"That's not the case. Since it is a celebration banquet for the divine race, I will naturally attend!"
Lu Fan said directly, his expression appearing indifferent.
Not long after, Lu Fan arrived at the celebration banquet. Most of the attendees were various Celestial Gods from the Divine Realm.
"We pay our respects to the Divine Lord!"
Everyone bowed, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.
"No need for pleasantries!"
With a cold expression, Lu Fan waved his hand and then took his seat.
"If it weren't for the Divine Lord's intervention, we would likely have all perished!"
The Old Celestial God said, "We toast the Divine Lord!"
The other Celestial Gods also nodded and quickly raised their cups.
If it weren't for Lu Fan, the entire Divine Realm would not have been so peaceful, and their divine race would not have become the most powerful existence among all races.
"This is all I should do. After all, I am also a member of the divine race!"
Lu Fan waved his hand, "Everyone need not be too concerned!"
"That may be so, but if not for the Divine Lord, how could we have lived in peace!" the Old Celestial God stated.
Lu Fan said no more, picked up the wine cup beside him, and was about to drink it directly.
The Old Celestial God quickly stepped forward, "These ordinary wine cups are used by us Celestial Gods. The wine cup used by the Divine Lord is that glazed chalice!"
Lu Fan looked at the glazed chalice on the main seat and couldn't help but smile. He hadn't expected everyone to care so much.
"Lord Lu Shen, this glazed chalice is no ordinary item. It was personally crafted by the Old Celestial God to present to Lord Lu Shen for enjoying fine wine!" the Azure-robed Celestial God said, "Lord Lu Shen would not refuse, would he!"
"Since it was specially crafted, I naturally will not refuse!"
Lu Fan smiled slightly, his eyes carrying a hint of indifference, as if all of this held little significance in his eyes.
Seeing Lu Fan take out the glazed chalice, the Old Celestial God's eyes showed a hint of emotion. As long as Lu Fan drank the poisoned wine, their plan would be a success, and from then on, he would be the most respected in the entire divine race.
Lu Fan paid no mind and drank directly, the poisoned wine in the glazed chalice almost completely gone.
This poisoned wine was colorless and tasteless, and he could not detect it at all. At this moment, Lu Fan felt no abnormality.
However, the Old Celestial God and the others seemed quite interested in the glazed chalice in his hand, which made Lu Fan somewhat surprised.
The Azure-robed Celestial God's face also showed joy at the scene. This was the best possible outcome.
Now that Lu Fan had drunk the poisoned wine, they could proceed with their next plan.
This was naturally a great boon for them.
