Plaidana looked thoughtfully at the two clay figurines, each thirty centimeters tall, before her. She raised a hand in a knife-edge and shattered the one on the right.
"Huh?"
Plaidana showed surprise, then looked at the clay figurine on the left and struck it down again with her hand.
*Bang!*
The clay figurine fell to the ground, unbroken.
Tang Ya leaned against the window, amused into laughter by Plaidana. "I'm talking to you about serious matters, and you're playing with mud dolls?"
Plaidana picked up the fallen clay figurine and said to Tang Ya, "I heard you. It's just a human clashing divine power with spiritual power. What's so surprising about that?"
Tang Ya looked at Plaidana, puzzled. "Isn't that strange? I originally thought that girl was Annihilation. Later, I used my divine eye and found that the girl had no divine radiance.
But isn't that even stranger?
Just pure spiritual power managed to clash with divine power without dissipating. Even the power left by Sersokjiang, without the amplification of divine power, would be impossible."
Plaidana did not answer Tang Ya's question. Instead, she raised the clay figurine she held in her hands towards Tang Ya, presenting it.
Tang Ya asked, confused, "What do you mean by showing me this mud doll?"
Plaidana smiled, withdrew her arm, and looked at the clay figurine in her hands with gentle eyes, explaining, "This is not a mud doll, but a clay figurine I made using the key to awaken Sersokjiang.
Sersokjiang is still in a semi-awakened state, recovering his divine power. Therefore, he has extracted the beastly nature from his three natures and sealed it within this clay figurine to help us hunt other gods and seize divinity.
Tang Ya looked at the clay figurine in Plaidana's hands with dread, her feet involuntarily stepping back.
"You mean, Sersokjiang's beastly nature is here?"
Plaidana nodded. "Don't be afraid. I made the clay figurine with the key. Without the key, this seal cannot be opened."
Tang Ya calmed down and, after a moment's thought, an idea immediately formed. Sersokjiang's three natures were different from those of lower gods like themselves.
Sersokjiang, an upper god, was the source of spiritual power. His three natures were extremely powerful, almost possessing the strength of a middle god when taken out individually.
If I could possess the key...
Seeing Tang Ya's unfocused gaze, Plaidana's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile. She naturally perceived Tang Ya's little scheme, but what could be done?
Even if she placed the key before Tang Ya, would she dare to take it?
Plaidana ignored Tang Ya's petty calculations and placed the clay figurine on the table, saying to Tang Ya, "Take it. Return to Wulin City. Regardless of whether that girl is Annihilation or not, the hunter team's trap has been set, and your divine power has appeared in Wulin City.
Those who sensed your divine power will also go. The God Wars never lack those who want to pick up scraps.
Your seduction was very successful.
Before you,
Beques and Aigfen also clashed. Judging by the results, Beques lost, and Aigfen did not kill Beques.
However, Beques will not give up and may resort to some tricks.
Since Annihilation cannot be found and others cannot be moved, let's choose Beques. With you, me, and Sersokjiang's beastly nature, we should be able to take down Beques.
You go to Wulin City first, and I will follow. You should use your divine power to lure Beques out first. As soon as he appears, I will directly activate the seal of the clay figurine."
Tang Ya leaned against the windowsill, narrowing her eyes as she looked at Plaidana. She did not believe that Plaidana, whether it was Beques or Sersokjiang's beastly nature, could kill her. They only wanted divinity.
Since the goal was only divinity, then it wouldn't matter whose divinity it was, right?
Her own divinity might also be within their consideration.
But, now, she couldn't escape. Whether she cooperated with Plaidana or not, her outcome seemed to be death, and death without obtaining even a single piece of divinity.
If she didn't accumulate strength this time, she would still be a lamb to the slaughter in the next era.
Tang Ya's thoughts churned, but her expression remained unchanged. She nodded and said, "I understand. I'll head to Wulin City now and emit my divine power. No matter who comes, I'll hold them off first. The rest is up to you."
As Tang Ya turned to leave, she stopped and said in a deep voice, "Don't forget the divinity you promised me, Plaidana. Don't lie to me. You rely on nothing more than Sersokjiang. If Sersokjiang leaves this era, you will lose your support in the next era. I will kill you first."
Plaidana smiled slightly, did not reply, and slowly stood up, holding the clay figurine that sealed Sersokjiang's beastly nature in her hands, and turned into the room.
Tang Ya's eyes were sinister, and at the same time, she calculated that Plaidana, that bitch, was unreliable. Even if she died, she had to obtain a piece of divinity before dying. To advance further in the next era, she couldn't be used in vain.
Tang Ya, who walked out of the stone tower, looked at the devout believers queuing for worship and sneered. Worshiping Plaidana? Humph! Your god is a lowly bitch who only relies on powerful beings!
Tang Ya turned and disappeared from her spot...
...
...
He Li lay on the sofa, recalling the battle scene he had witnessed today and remembering what Tang Ya had said to Zhao Tongzhi. All signs indicated that
Zhao Tongzhi was not simple.
It wasn't that she was a genius and so powerful at such a young age. Although her realm was still at the peak of the Qi Sea realm, her actual strength far surpassed the peak of the Qi Sea realm.
Even so, it wasn't enough for her to rely on clashing spiritual power with divine power head-on.
"Why are you still lying here?"
A familiar voice came from outside the door. He Li followed the sound and saw Xu Shuya, dressed in a black fitted suit, her long hair tied back, with two strands of hair framing her forehead, and wearing black high heels.
The girl looked like an urban elite, with impeccable beauty in her figure and face, but with eyes that lacked spirit, she appeared somewhat naive.
Xu Shuya looked surprised as she looked at He Li.
"The hunter team over there is already fighting. Aren't you going to support them?"
He Li sat up and explained, "I'm an undercover agent, so I don't need to engage in combat. I saw the battle over there. Twelve people were attacking a god, and they were still no match. I was thinking of dispatching more combat power. I was just thinking about who to mobilize."
"By the way, why did you come here?" After explaining, He Li immediately counter-questioned, giving Xu Shuya no chance to ask further.
Xu Shuya was stunned for a moment. It was clear she hadn't fully processed He Li's explanation and had to think about answering He Li's question.
"Oh, I'm here to tell you that the hunter team is preparing to evacuate the civilians of Wulin City and is ready to activate the 'God-Slaying Nuclear Bomb' at any time to deal with the upcoming God-Slaying War."
