After the wine had flowed for three rounds, Old Heavenly God led Lu Fan away from the celebration and into the Heavenly Pavilion.
Within the Heavenly Pavilion, everyone was Old Heavenly God's subordinate, their expressions grave.
They were all acutely aware of what this situation entailed.
If the billions of divine beings were to learn of it, they would surely not agree easily, and it would stir up considerable turmoil.
"Divine Lord, I believe our God Clan is inherently superior. We should command the myriad races, making them bow in submission!"
The Azure-robed Heavenly God spoke, "Only in this way can our God Clan's majesty be displayed!"
"What do you mean by that?" Lu Fan frowned, "Do you want them to be slaves? Or in your eyes, they are already slaves!"
"Your subordinate has no other intention. After all, if any other race produced a peerless expert, they would do the same!"
The Azure-robed Heavenly God stated directly, "Since we have reached this point, we should cherish it. How can we waste resources?"
"Are you instructing me?"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, "Or is this everyone's intention?"
"Divine Lord, why must you be so stubborn!" Old Heavenly God chuckled, "We are already the greatest rulers of the God Realm. Naturally, we should enjoy what is rightfully ours!"
"Even you think this way?"
Lu Fan looked towards Old Heavenly God, "It seems my position as Divine Lord is redundant. You have never followed my orders!"
"If it is for the good of the God Clan, we will naturally obey. But if it is not, such orders are nothing more than waste paper before us!" the Azure-robed Heavenly God declared.
Old Heavenly God also smiled, showing no fear.
Lu Fan had drunk the poisoned wine, and he could now control everything. From now on, he would be the ruler of the God Realm, and his heart was filled with excitement.
"You may have forgotten! I am the one who sets the rules!"
Lu Fan sneered, "If you do not listen to me, have you considered the consequences!"
Facing these words, the Azure-robed Heavenly God smiled, "While that may be true, we do not care. After all, you are now a cripple. What can you do to us?"
Old Heavenly God stood by, his expression indifferent, as if everything was under his control.
Lu Fan frowned and said coldly, "Why are you so confident?"
"Because what you just drank was colorless and odorless poisoned wine, a specialty of the God Realm!"
The Azure-robed Heavenly God stated directly, "Do you feel your divine power within you gradually dissipating!"
"This poisoned wine is very common, and even if your strength is immense, you cannot escape it!"
Old Heavenly God said directly, "I did not wish to act against you, but unfortunately, you wanted all races to be equal with the God Clan. This is absolutely impossible!"
"If I guessed correctly, it's not because of this matter, is it!"
Lu Fan shrugged, "You want to take the position of the God Clan's leader, or rather, the God Realm's ruler, which is why you colluded with everyone to deal with me!"
"That is no longer important!"
The Azure-robed Heavenly God narrowed his eyes, "Today, you are certain to die. No one can save you!"
"You are the one in charge here, does that mean you arranged everything?"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, "It seems this matter is not as simple as it appears. You must have someone behind you!" Su Dan Novel Network
"That is not for you to worry about!"
The Azure-robed Heavenly God's expression was indifferent as he looked at Old Heavenly God, "It's time to act. Send him to the west, and you will be the ruler of the God Realm. No one can stop your progress!"
Old Heavenly God stood frozen, his eyes filled with excitement. This was something he had always fantasized about, and he never expected it to come true today.
Watching Old Heavenly God's steps, Lu Fan let out a cold laugh, "Indeed, human nature is greedy. Have you ever considered that someone is directing him from behind? If that is the case, can you truly become the ruler of the God Realm?"
"Within the entire God Realm, besides you, no one can suppress me!" Old Heavenly God smiled, "You may not know, but I have already stepped into the realm of a half-divine lord. Therefore, within the entire God Realm, I am the biggest winner!"
"So foolish, yet you aspire to become the ruler of the God Realm!"
Lu Fan shook his head, feeling utterly helpless.
The Old Heavenly God before him was clearly being manipulated, yet he was unaware of it and was still stubbornly persisting.
"You don't need to say more. I know what I'm doing is wrong, and it's extremely unfair to you, but I can't help it. To become the ruler of the God Realm, I must do this!"
Old Heavenly God's voice was indifferent, yet carried the force of thunder. In his eyes, everything was under control.
Facing these words, the Azure-robed Heavenly God also smiled, appearing quite satisfied.
"You are, after all, a Divine Lord of our God Clan. Please end it yourself!"
Old Heavenly God's expression was indifferent as he looked at Lu Fan, seemingly reluctant to act.
After all, no matter what, if it weren't for Lu Fan, the God Clan would still be in hardship, even facing the crisis of extinction.
Therefore, Old Heavenly God held Lu Fan in high regard.
"Since you have chosen to act, why are you still hesitant!" Lu Fan said coldly, "In that case, I will end it myself!"
With that, Lu Fan struck himself with a palm, reducing himself to ashes.
Seeing this scene, Old Heavenly God looked helpless, his heart filled with unease.
Gazing at Lu Fan, who had turned to ash, the Azure-robed Heavenly God also showed joy. This was what he most wished to see.
Lu Fan had completely perished, and it was forced by Old Heavenly God, which was perfectly timed.
"I truly did not expect such a drastic change to occur within our God Clan!" Old Heavenly God let out a wry smile.
"Now is not the time for sentiment!"
The Azure-robed Heavenly God spoke, "The God Clan's Divine Lord has perished. We must inform all the Heavenly Gods. Only then can we stabilize the God Clan!"
"I will go to the Investiture of the Gods platform now!"
Old Heavenly God nodded slightly, a look of joy on his face.
Now that Lu Fan had perished, there would likely be no other Divine Lord in the entire God Realm, and he could rightfully become the ruler of the God Realm.
Greedy ambition was perhaps their greatest advantage.
Not long after, Old Heavenly God arrived at the Investiture of the Gods platform and summoned many of the God Clan's powerful figures.
"Old Heavenly God, only events of great importance usually bring us to the Investiture of the Gods platform. Is there another change?" several Heavenly Gods inquired.
"Divine Lord Lu, after drinking the wine earlier, his injuries relapsed, causing him to go berserk and perish!"
Old Heavenly God spoke with feigned grief, his expression earnest.
Upon hearing this, everyone was bewildered and somewhat confused.
