"Where are those Heavenly Gods?"

"Some are trapped by the remnants of Heavenly Ghosts in the Unknown Land, and some Heavenly Gods have withdrawn their consciousness into the cycles of reincarnation in the Old Dream Land. For now, they are likely to be insignificant individuals in Jing Country,

waiting for the right opportunity amidst endless reincarnations to awaken their consciousness."

The God of Suffering spoke up again, adding, "However, the Heavenly God Level includes more than just these nine gods.

The incense fire Taoist who governs the Time World, the Nine-Day Dharma Maiden Yu Fulong who governs the space of the Time Realm, and the Yin Mountain Dharma Master who governs the space of 'Luoyin Mountain'… they are all at the Heavenly God Level.

"Any entity at the Heavenly God Level has their own domain space under their control."

"Is there anyone above the Heavenly God Level?"

"Have you heard of the Tao Ancestor, the Witch God, the Ancient Buddha, and the legend of the Fourth Figure?"

"I've heard of them."

Zhou Xuan replied, "Those four figures formed the Incense Fire Divine Dao of Jing Country, integrating spirit and flesh, blood and dao."

"Exactly, spirit originates from the Witch's body, flesh originates from the Ancient Buddha, Dao originates from the Tao Ancestor, and as for blood… you should be able to guess," the God of Suffering responded.

"I can't guess."

"It's in your Secret Realm," the God of Suffering replied.

"Blood Well?" Zhou Xuan asked in shock.

He only knew that the Blood Well was the most powerful Alien Ghost in the heavens and earth, suddenly awakening on the eve of the Laba Festival over sixty years ago and devouring countless lives in Jing Country.

Yuan Buyu, the seven-incense storyteller, trembled uncontrollably out of fear whenever he mentioned that dreadful Laba night.

"Blood Well is far stronger than you imagine. A God at the Heavenly God Level is called a Heavenly God, an Alien Ghost at the Heavenly God Level is called a Heavenly Ghost, but Blood Well firmly surpasses the Heavenly Ghost, reaching the Heavenly Venerable Level."

Among Jing Country's four Heavenly Venerable Level entities, Blood Well occupies one of the seats. Zhou Xuan realized he had to seriously acknowledge the power of the Well.

"Blood Well, were you once this powerful?"

The doors of the City God Taoist Temple, where Blood Well resided, flung open. A fierce Yin wind swirled within the Secret Realm.

If an ordinary person witnessed Blood Well's movements, they would surely believe this Heavenly Venerable Level Alien Ghost was about to wreak havoc.

But Zhou Xuan, having interacted with Blood Well for a long time, already grasped its temperament. A vivid image emerged in his mind—a scene of Blood Well standing akimbo with an exaggeratedly cocky demeanor, like saying, "I'm so damn invincible!"

"Indeed, Blood Well is the weakest among the Heavenly Venerable Level beings, whereas the Nuo God is the strongest at the Heavenly God Level. Jing Country's Fate God is likewise an undisputed human-world war god. If the two were to clash, who would emerge victorious is hard to predict."

Zhou Xuan, hearing this, was unimpressed. A tie, right? What's so unpredictable?

Representative Fei Yue of the Well and representative Black Water of the Nuo God had already fought fiercely before, ending in a deadlock.

"No wonder the Well has so many incredible abilities: the Divination Method, omniscience; the God Creation Method, resurrecting the eight-incense figures from three hundred years ago."

Even as the weakest Heavenly Venerable Level being, it retains its Heavenly Venerable stature.

"The Heavenly Venerable Level forged the incense of this realm, forming the source of Jing Country's power.

Heavenly God Level entities act as guardians of specific lands,

while the twenty-four God-level figures of the Heavenly Dome are designated as Jing Country's overseers. Divine Status serves as both a supervisory magic artifact and a certification of God-level rank."

"When Heavenly Gods vanished from the human world, God-level figures assumed the guardianship responsibilities of the Heavenly Gods."

"Then, there's no hierarchical subordination between Heavenly God Level and God Level?"

Zhou Xuan deduced from this point that God-level and Heavenly God-level realms differed not only in power but also structurally, being part of separate departments within Jing Country's governance.

"Indeed, there's no subordination."

The God of Suffering said, "I understand what you're thinking. You want to simulate the revival of the Nuo God to compel 'Gong Zheng' to surrender his Divine Status. Let me tell you, it's impossible.

Jing Country's will functions like a machine, programmed with countless rules.

The existence of twenty-four God-level figures serves to oversee this realm. As overseers, if it were so easy for Heavenly Gods to discover their whereabouts, then what's the point of overseeing?

If Heavenly Gods become displeased, ascend to the Heavenly Dome, and kill them, wouldn't the oversight system become meaningless?"

"So this plan won't work?"

"Totally unfeasible," the God of Suffering concluded, stoking a flame as he spoke.

"But I have another idea," Zhou Xuan said.

"What idea?"

"Blood Well!"

"You want to awaken Blood Well? That's a heinous act against heaven and reason." The God of Suffering was visibly shocked by Zhou Xuan's suggestion.

Sixty years ago, when Blood Well fully revived, how many lives were devoured in one night in Jing Country?

Jing Country's cultivation disciples suffered losses of nearly one-tenth of their number, and even the entire nation was renamed to commemorate the Well, becoming Jing Country.

"Why did Blood Well awaken back then?"

"Blood Well granted blessings to Jing Country, birthing countless Blood Well Spirits. Jing Country's Great Divine Men and Great Yin People accidentally discovered that these Communicators possessed extraordinarily strong Perception, and thus began hunting them en masse, even launching nationwide hunts. Blood Well Human Brain originated from that era…

Eventually, Blood Well grew furious over the fate of these Communicators, awakened in rage, and unleashed unrestricted slaughter."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuan recalled how Li Chengfeng had once been so terrified of being caught by the "Blood Capture Squad" that he surgically removed the "Blood Well Blessing" within his own body.

From that point on, he hid the fact that he was a Blood Well Spirit Communicator.

"So in recent years, the capturing of Blood Well Spirit Communicators still occurs but can only be conducted discreetly without fanfare?"
