Book 6: Chapter 23: I Need Your Head

Heavenly Court’s positions were limited, thus there were many gods staying on the ground to supervise a certain place for the Heavenly Court. Therefore, rebels led by a god on earth were uncommon but they were not rare.

Jiang Lan was not the only one who loved the human race. Other gods occasionally had feelings for races similar to them.

“Which god was rebelling this time?”

Bai Qiuran asked.

“It’s She Bi Shi, the god of She Bi Shi Kingdom.”

One of the gods replied:

“His Majesty sent him to supervise the She Bi Shi Kingdom, but he later thought that he was a member of the She Bi Shi Kingdom.”

“How strong is She Bi Shi?”

“Not as good as the ninth ministerial god of heaven.”

“Understood.”

Bai Qiuran nodded.

“Then let’s go.”

There was not much nonsense, and Bai Qiuran took the people directly, letting them surround the several countries that had caused the rebellion this time.

Although the area of the country in this era was vast, most of it was wilderness, as long as it surrounded human settlements, and it did not require much manpower.

After the siege was completed, Bai Qiuran gave orders to his soldiers.

“Let’s stay around like this for now, and wait for my order before acting.”

“Yes, sir.”

The gods bowed their heads to answer, but then someone raised objections.

“This little god doesn’t understand, why don’t we just attack? The people of the Giant Kingdom, Rainbow Kingdom, and She Bi Shi Kingdom are nothing more than insects to us.”

“Although it is a worm, you will still be bitten if you are not careful. Can you guarantee that after the fight, there will be no casualties? What’s more, there is a strong god on the opposite side.”

Bai Qiuran put on a distressed look of “I’m doing all this for your own good” and replied:

“Once a war begins, a lot of soldiers will surely be killed, but if I can persuade She Bi Shi to once again surrender to the emperor, isn’t that better? Even if he is stubborn, I can change the plan to ‘kill the head of the enemy first’ and leave the three kingdoms to serve the emperor again, wouldn’t it be beautiful?”

The gods thought about it, and felt that what Bai Qiuran said was very reasonable, but there seemed to be something wrong.

However, as Bai Qiuran was the leader, with such a sincere speech, they were too embarrassed to disobey Bai Qiuran, so they said one after another:

“Marshal is kind. Just do what you want.”

The three countries used a mountain in the She Bi Shi Kingdom as a stronghold, and most of the tribesmen and fighters gathered here.

After Bai Qiuran ordered his subordinates to keep the siege, he entered the deep mountains of the She Bi Shi Kingdom alone and came to the stronghold.

Seeing Bai Qiuran coming by himself, the soldiers at the base panicked. Although Bai Qiuran’s height seemed much shorter than theirs, these people understood that the strength of the gods could not be judged simply by their size.

A thousand feet tall god might be a giant that was scaled up. A god with short stature might be able to manipulate natural celestial phenomena and possess terrifying powers.

“Let your leader come out and see me.”

Standing under the stronghold, Bai Qiuran pretended to be arrogant and shouted.

Upon seeing this, several fighters of the She Bi Shi Clan and Rainbow Clan who were stationed at the stronghold turned around and walked back to the stronghold. They should have gone to report.

After a while, the huge wooden door of the stronghold was released from the ground, and She Bi Shi slowly walked out of the stronghold door.

In addition to being a bit taller, the god She Bi Shi’s appearance was the same as other people from the She Bi Shi Kingdom. His upper body was humanoid, but he had a pair of white dog ears, and his lower body was a six-legged one; with four horse legs and two dog paws.

With two blue snakes wrapped around his ears and a spear made of fine iron in his hand, he came to Bai Qiuran’s body and looked down at him.

“You are She Bi Shi?”

Bai Qiuran looked up at him and asked.

“I am.”

She Bi Shi bowed his head and said:

“Stranger, are you the commander-in-chief sent by the emperor to attack us this time?”

“Well, I’m new here.”

Bai Qiuran introduced herself:

“The Emperor of Heaven asked me to be in charge of the earth in the east.”

“Heh, are you one of the four gods?”

Hearing the name Bai Qiuran reported, a relieved expression appeared on She Bi Shi’s face.

“It seems that the emperor is really going to kill us all. It’s just that we have rejected the offerings of several higher-level gods, and our kingdoms are about to be destroyed. The gods are living beings, but these creatures of the lower realm are not?”

He waved his iron spear, looked at Bai Qiuran, and shouted:

“I think I’m not your opponent, but you don’t think that you can get a good deal from me! Since the Emperor does not intend to let us go, then our whole clan will fight to the last one!”

Bai Qiuran looked into the depths of the stronghold, and the soldiers from the three kingdoms also looked at him indignantly.

He thought for a moment, and said with a deliberate sneer:

“She Bi Shi, you have to think carefully. Once the war starts, under the supervision of the two gods, your people will definitely be driven out and killed. On the contrary, if you surrender, I can still admonish the Emperor of Heaven to spare the rest of your tribes.”

“What a joke, surrender will give me a way out. Do you really think I’m stupid? I have seen how Gong Yu Clan, the former emperor’s wings, were slowly cut off.”

She Bi Shi sneered and said:

“Instead of letting my people be the cattle of the Emperor of Heaven, it is better to let them stand and die with me. What’s more, just relying on the earth to watch the sky and listen to those two wastes, and how many of my people can be caught? Don’t say anything else, even if It’s my stronghold, and they can’t see or hear it either.”

“That means, Tian Ting and Di Shi’s ability was not as omnipotent as I imagined?”

Bai Qiuran asked.

“Although they are known as the eyes and ears of the emperor, they are not born in the emperor’s body after all. Do you think that with Eastern Taiyi’s character, he will allow them to see everything and hear everything?”

He sneered.

Bai Qiuran thought for a while, to be on the safe side, he released the True Qi in his body and enveloped the entire stronghold fortress, and then he said:

“I don’t quite understand Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s character. I haven’t even seen him face to face. But after knowing that you want to deal with him, I have an idea.”

“Ok?”

She Bi Shi looked at Bai Qiuran, then sneered:

“Oh, so you can’t understand the actions of the Emperor of Heaven? It’s ironic for one of the high gods of the heavens.”

“Of course I can’t. Others say that I am a god, but I think I am a human being.”

Bai Qiuran nodded and said:

“So I want to help you.”

He obviously couldn’t believe Bai Qiuran so easily. He took a step back and said on alert:

“Tell me your thoughts first.”

“Of course.”

Bai Qiuran looked at him and said slowly:

“She Bi Shi, in order to save your people, I need your head.”
