Chapter 1781: Chapter 1010: Throwing a False Accusation

Jianmu is the core of Jianmu World Island, supporting the heavens and earth as the World Tree. Within this vast world, no matter where one is located, one can see the silhouette of Jianmu by looking up, perched seemingly at infinite heights, magnificent and grand.

And when looking up at Jianmu, one can see the figure of a Wooden Dragon entwined upon the tree.

When the dragon’s head emerges from Jianmu’s branches to gaze down upon the living beings, its dragon eyes transform into a great sun bringing light to the world; when it lies dormant behind the foliage, night falls.

Everything in the world revolves around Jianmu and the Wooden Dragon; these two are truly the core of this world.

Originally, when Jianmu World Island was just emerging, a divine war between the Wooden Dragon and an external Main God greatly established the renowned prestige of Jianmu World Island and secured peace that has lasted until now.

However, the Wooden Dragon is very lazy, usually staying on Jianmu and rarely moving.

Daily management is mainly entrusted to ten other True Gods, among whom Mu Guo and Konoha, innate divine spirits born from Jianmu, are the most respected. The other eight joined later, recognized by Jianmu and the Wooden Dragon, powerful divinities inclined towards nature.

Each is a mighty figure among divine spirits, already possessing great fame before joining.

Even under a regular Main God, it’s rare to find a subordinate god of such prowess, yet here they are gathered, reflecting the profound foundation of Jianmu World Island itself.

But in recent years, as Jianmu World Island has enjoyed prolonged tranquility, a hint of disquiet has surfaced within, with three large-scale Evil God believers incidents erupting successively over the past decade.

Though quickly subdued, they nevertheless revealed some internal hidden dangers…

And recently, small-scale Evil God sacrifices and believer activities have emerged one after another, increasing in frequency. Information has even been laid before the leaders of the World Island, Mu Guo and Konoha.

“Hmph, I’ve said before that we shouldn’t have opened trade; it was all fine until those traveling merchants brought the seeds of Evil God believers.”

Mu Guo is slender in stature, with beautiful appearance, possessing an androgynous beauty hard to differentiate.

Clad in leaf-based attire, with a garland atop, yet the eyes glint somewhat sharply.

Beside him, Konoha’s styling is similar to Mu Guo’s, but the demeanor is much softer.

“Stop with this nonsense, if the world was not accepted by the current world’s will, we might have already been devoured by the Abyss; what is there to be discontent with, being able to preserve our homeland?”

“I’m not saying allegiance is bad, I just think we don’t need such close association with the outside world.”

Hearing Konoha’s counsel, Mu Guo restrained himself a bit, but still maintained his viewpoint of isolating World Island.

With the Dragon God residing, we have nothing to fear; instead, now we’ve attracted so many complicated troubles.

“As long as we are here, complete isolation is impossible. But your concern is indeed reasonable; recent frequent Evil God incidents are not a good sign.”

Konoha sighed while viewing the newly arrived information.

“Evil God believers act illogically and irregularly, with strong evasion tactics. This time, the ability of the hidden Evil God is extremely bizarre; indeed, we must not underestimate it.”

“Hmph, if I catch him, I’ll butcher him directly!”

Mu Guo snorted coldly. Though Evil Gods are generally large in size, they are mostly large but not strong. Mu Guo’s prowess among True Gods is outstanding, possessing the ability to tear Evil Gods apart and has done so several times!

“And then? Increase your damage?”

Konoha is much more composed. Evil Gods are filthy and foul; though their attacks are messy and brutish, even if suppressed, one surely gets covered in muck, at worst increasing Abyss damage, not worth the cost.

“If eradication is possible, what does such a price count for?”

Mu Guo is indifferent, preferring to tackle the source directly rather than whack moles every time.

“You’ve tried several times already, and every time, new believers appear shortly after. Have you not realized your temper has become much more irritable? Recently, don’t manage these matters; under the gaze of the Sacred Tree and Dragon God, cleanse yourself first.”

At this point, Konoha’s tone became uncharacteristically stern, causing Mu Guo to pause and soften his tone as well.

“Rest assured, I know my limits. After self-reflection, there is indeed some issue, but slaying four or five beasts shouldn’t be too much of a problem. I’ll bring some companions by then, won’t go solo again.

“I just want to show those obsessed fools that their revered Evil God can be slain with one hand.”

Mu Guo appears quite competitive, as is his nature as a True God; he had never intended to change. Otherwise, enduring the damage from killing Evil Gods would have greater impact on him, and he would no longer be himself.

Seeing his partner say so, Konoha also sighed inwardly, but refrained from further persuasion.

“I will call for a Divine Council then; let’s all come up with ideas. We previously received a warning from the Purification Holy Hall. A Evil God Church they’re investigating seems to focus its attention on us, advising us to guard vigilantly.”

“Purification Holy Hall?”

Mu Guo furrowed his brow at these words, yet said no more.
