Tu Yang picked up the spiritual scroll and placed it on her forehead to check the contents. Her expression turned even more helpless. "There's nothing we can do about this."
The God - Lord snorted. "I'm going to send people right now to destroy all the temples they've built."
Instead of making the matter public, the God - Lord secretly sent people to the mortal world to destroy the temples that Mu Hua had built for the ancient gods. At the same time, he widely publicized his own achievements.
Mu Hua soon noticed something was wrong. He went to the God - Lord's palace and straightforwardly questioned, "May I ask, God - Lord, why do you keep disrupting my plans in the mortal world?"
The God - Lord pretended to be innocent. "What disruption of plans in the mortal world? I have no idea."
Mu Hua conjured a water mirror, which showed the situations of various temples. "These days, the temples I've built for the ancient gods have often been inexplicably destroyed. Moreover, among the common people in the world, it's your achievements that are being spread, not those of the ancient gods. Isn't this something you did deliberately?"
"You're wrong!" The God - Lord carefully observed the images in the water mirror and said nonchalantly, "Whether the common people in the world spread whose achievements is their spontaneous behavior, not something I deliberately did. As for why the temples were destroyed, I have no idea either!"
Mu Hua the Younger simply didn't believe it. "If you didn't promote yourself, how could the common people spread your achievements?"
The God - Lord's expression darkened slightly. "So, you don't trust me?"
Mu Hua the Younger looked a bit uncomfortable. "I don't mean that. I just hope you won't interfere with my plans in the future. Letting the ancient gods obtain the power of faith and be reborn is a good thing for both you and me, and even better for the common people in the world."
The God - Lord had always hated those stronger than himself. He thought that if the ancient gods were reborn, there would be no place for him as the God - Lord. So he was determined not to let the ancient gods collect the power of faith.
Because of this mentality, when facing Mu Hua the Younger, he always pretended to be stupid and evaded the issue vaguely.
Mu Hua the Younger couldn't persuade him and left in anger.
At this time, Yao Hua walked out from behind the curtain. "Mu Hua the Younger will surely not let it go. What are you going to do next?"
The God - Lord replied, "Naturally, I'll continue to publicize my achievements and replace all the temples he built with ones dedicated to me. Do you have any good suggestions?"
Yao Hua thought for a moment. "I suggest appointing him as a general and asking him to go and stop the Heavenly Demons himself. Meanwhile, you can widely publicize your achievements in the rear. In this way, he'll be busy dealing with the Heavenly Demons, and all the credit will go to you."
The God - Lord highly approved. "That's a great idea!"
After Yao Hua offered her advice, she returned to Mount Danxue. She felt the jade stone she was carrying was faintly getting hot, so she took it out.
Chong Ming emerged from the jade stone, his brows furrowed. "Why are you cooperating with the God - Lord and interfering with the plans of the ancient gods?"
Yao Hua felt her heart sink when she saw that he didn't understand her. "I'm interfering with the plans of the ancient gods all for you. They want to be reborn by using your body!"
Chong Ming simply didn't believe it. "Is there such a method in the world? Besides, how can my single body be used for so many ancient gods to be reborn?"
Yao Hua defended herself. "I saw them discussing this with my own eyes!"
Chong Ming shook his head. "It's a great good thing for all sentient beings in the world if the ancient gods can be reborn by receiving more power of faith. I hope you won't interfere with their plans anymore."
"Then should I just watch you die?" Yao Hua's emotions got a bit agitated. "Why are you always so blindly loyal? It's really annoying!"
Chong Ming was slightly stunned and felt a bit hurt. "Blindly loyal? So this is what I'm like in your heart?"
Yao Hua knew she had said the wrong thing and quickly said, "No, I just think the ancient gods have set a conspiracy for you. I hope you can be more vigilant against them instead of blindly believing in them."
Chong Ming shook his head and said disappointedly, "You simply don't understand the ancient gods' love for the world. Maybe they really discussed whether to be reborn by using my body before, but I think they've changed their minds now and chosen to be reborn by collecting the power of faith."
"You believe them but not me?" Yao Hua was extremely angry.
Suddenly, the system spoke up. "Host, I think what Chong Ming said makes a lot of sense. Maybe they've really changed their minds and are now collecting the power of faith to be reborn."
Yao Hua cursed it in her heart. "If something goes wrong, it's Chong Ming who will die, not you. Of course, you can talk so easily! In short, I don't think those ancient gods are good people."
Chong Ming was a bit speechless when faced with her question. "It's not that I don't trust you. The ancient gods are dedicated to helping all sentient beings in the world. I've really lived with them for thousands of years. They're my seniors and have always taken good care of me. How can you expect me to believe they're going to harm me just based on a few words?"
Yao Hua felt as if she had been splashed with a basin of cold water on her head. Yes, compared with them, she was the latecomer. Chong Ming simply wouldn't believe her.
She bit her lip and said angrily, "Fine. Since you believe them but not me, why should I care about your life or death anymore? I'll never interfere in this matter again!"
After saying that, she left Mount Danxue.
After the argument with her, Chong Ming was naturally upset. Just then, a little boy with three braids came to Mount Danxue.
He pinched a spell in his hand. Using some unknown method, he directly arrived at Chong Ming's sealed place.
"Mu Hua the Younger?" Chong Ming was a bit surprised. "Why are you here?"
Mu Hua the Younger bowed with a smile. "Greetings, God Chong Ming! I've come here this time by the order of the ancient gods to check on your situation."
Chong Ming felt a warmth in his heart. "I can maintain the balance here for the time being. I wonder how the ancient gods are doing now?"
Mu Hua the Younger looked him up and down and replied, "The ancient gods are all well. They're just waiting to be reborn."
He paused for a moment and asked, "May I feel your pulse to check the specific situation in your body?"
Chong Ming hesitated for a moment because of what Yao Hua had just said, but finally he still trustingly stretched out his wrist.
Mu Hua the Younger's spiritual power circulated in his body for a while. After roughly knowing the situation, he pondered, "I do have a way to remove the demonic energy in your body."
"What's the method?" Chong Ming quickly asked.
Mu Hua the Younger smiled slightly. "You just need to take out half of the power of the mysterious demons in your body and put it into my Demon - Binding Pearl. Then I'll present it to the ancient gods. We can discuss it together and completely remove the power in your body. Are you willing?"
Chong Ming naturally had no objection. "Sure! But how can the power of the mysterious demons in my body be taken out? This must be extremely difficult, right?"
