"Gong Zheng" did not respond to Lord Jian.

Compared to the sky's thunder and roar when the divine status was handed over, the sky now is quieter than a village at midnight.

Zhou Lingyi walked to Lord Jian's side, looking up at the sky, and said, "Gong Zheng hasn't responded?"

"For over two thousand years, the Divine Arrow Hall has revered 'Gong Zheng' as the god of justice in the world,

but now that he has corrupted the divine status, how can the disciples of the Divine Arrow Hall continue to trust Gong Zheng? Where is the majesty of the Divine Arrow Hall?"

Lord Jian's words seemed calm, but ever since Peng Hou's death, after he revealed a dark corner of Heavenly Vault God Level, he hasn't slept peacefully even once,

Is it true, as Peng Hou said, that his father's head appeared within the Divine Country established by "Gong Zheng"?

This question kept him tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Now, the divine bow in his hands has been fired several times without receiving Gong Zheng's response, his mood has instead calmed — he has exhausted his last bit of hope.

"A crow in the sky, indeed, cannot be born white."

As Lord Jian said this, he placed the divine bow back into the long wooden box.

"The loss of the divine status is my responsibility, and in the future, I will do my utmost to retrieve it."

On Lord Jian's face, there was a reflection of powerful war intent, as if a fire was burning.

But the thought never crossed his mind that one day his war intent would burn because of "Gong Zheng."

...

On East Market Street, within the Zhou Family's Jingyi Shop,

Zhou Xuan listened to his sister's helpless reply, immediately furious, slamming his hands onto the table, saying, "That damn Gong Zheng, so unjust!"

"The divine status was embezzled?" The painter and the music master quickly asked.

"Yes."

Zhou Xuan nodded, and immediately, Lady Hong Guan also panicked.

The "Bitter Ghost" linked behind her tangkou is also, like "Gong Zheng," renowned as a Heavenly Vault God Level. Now that Gong Zheng's reputation is in ruins, what about the Bitter Ghost?

Perhaps the "Bitter Ghost" who cares for the world's unfortunate is just as dirty as Gong Zheng behind the scenes?

"The celestial beings who guard Jing Country's lands, that's what elders taught us when we were young. Now, the world has changed…" The painter sighed.

Yun Ziliang sneered and said, "It's not the world that has changed, just that the heavenly supervision has weakened, and those celestial beings are too lazy to pretend anymore."

If celestial beings truly protect a land, three hundred years ago, when Hidden Dragon Mountain was bloodbathed by the Fire Sect, could there be not a single celestial being to step in?

Lao Yun saw the true nature of the gods earlier than anyone present.

"The bustling world is all for profit, the thronging crowds all for gain, this is an eternal truth, deities care only for their own interests, just like the original Shui Yong, those unyielding gods have long vanished."

Yun Ziliang, thinking of past events, had fire spurting from his eyes.

Yet the embezzlement of the divine status is an incredibly helpless affair.

Originally, of the three divine statuses, one went to the Nuo God, Zhou Xuan took one, and there was no third person to take the last one.

At that time, entrusting "Gong Zheng" seemed to be the only choice.

It's just unexpected that this ancient god's face is so thick, just a few days and he turned his back as if he doesn't know you anymore.

He comforted Zhou Xuan, "Xuan, this time let's just accept this silent loss, and seriously treat the divine status in the future,

'Gong Zheng' holds the divine status to enact a decree that can aid his new god, and whenever a new god is decreed, he must descend to the human world — let's keep an eye on him, when the time comes, pay debts of vengeance as necessary."

"I, Zhou Xuan, have never taken a mute loss, and I will certainly remember this account with 'Gong Zheng,' but the divine status, today he must return it."

"The man is in the sky, how will you retrieve it?"

"I have my ways."

With this thought, Zhou Xuan's divine soul embarked on a day trip, heading to the Heavenly God's Fire above the Heavenly Dome.

"Zhou Xuan, I didn't expect you to come looking for me."

The Heavenly God's Fire, the lucky of God of Suffering, wavered in light as he greeted Zhou Xuan.

"God of Suffering, when can you awaken?"

"Perhaps a few months, perhaps a few years, but definitely not today."

God of Suffering was above the Heavenly Dome, overlooking the earth, watching everything unfolding in Mingjiang Prefecture.

Any major event happening in nearby Ping Shui Prefecture, he could also sense to some extent.

"Gong Zheng stole my divine status."

"That was the Heavenly Official's divine status."

"The Heavenly Official was slain by people I mobilized, once the god was slain, the divine status was mine," Zhou Xuan said.

God of Suffering was left speechless.

"I want to reclaim the divine status."

"How will you retrieve it?" God of Suffering looked at his flame, and though it hadn't grown dimmer, it wasn't much more vigorous than in recent days either.

Zhou Xuan questioned God of Suffering: "Before discussing methods, I want to know the structure of Jing Country."

"For example," God of Suffering efficiently followed up.

"How many Heavenly God Levels are there in Jing Country?" Zhou Xuan asked.

"Jing Country has nine great heavenly gods, the world says all other gods have perished, leaving only the Nuo God alive, but that's not true, all gods found ways to survive, though their current states are unclear."

God of Suffering was immensely grateful to Zhou Xuan.

The true master of Mingjiang Prefecture is him, this heavenly god.

Yet when Mingjiang faced calamity, with his home about to be ruthlessly destroyed by people from Buddha Country and the Fire Sect, all he could do was watch helplessly, powerless.

It was Zhou Xuan, leading the three major tangkou, who stood up to dissolve the disaster.

With such a bond, whatever Zhou Xuan wanted to ask, if God of Suffering knew, he would answer truthfully.
