Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 908 - 244: The Evil God of the Shangwu Dynasty! The Descent of the Evil God!

Chapter 908: Chapter 244: The Evil God of the Shangwu Dynasty! The Descent of the Evil God!

Upon hearing the gasping Earth Deity address him, Fan Wu, by name... Fan Wu was still somewhat taken aback. After all... this was neither the Great Zhou Dynasty nor the Great Yan Dynasty, and here was an unfamiliar Earth Deity who actually knew of him, Fan Wu of Qiulong Temple?

"This humble one has indeed heard of the prestigious name of Daoist Fan Wu. Although the Shangwu Dynasty is very far from the Great Zhou Dynasty, some Yin Envoy from the Great Zhou Dynasty have been dispatched here to the Shangwu Dynasty."

The Earth Deity spoke in a feeble voice: "It is this humble one who has come into contact with those Yin Envoys from the Great Zhou Dynasty, and thus learned of your reputation, Daoist Fan Wu. At that time, this humble one marveled that there could be such an extraordinary person in this world."

It was truly unbelievable to hear an Earth Deity speak so humbly and respectfully, especially when addressing a mere mortal.

Being a legitimate deity, He addressed a common man as ’you’ and referred to Himself as ’this little old one’.

Clearly, He was elevating the other party and belittling Himself.

Such a tone was like that of a subordinate in the imperial court of a dynasty, speaking to a superior.

In fact, it was humility taken to the extreme.

At that moment, the voice of the Earth Deity continued, "Subsequently, in the recent days, this little old one suddenly heard the name Fan Wu mentioned in the Shangwu Dynasty, and even caught wind of some unbelievable feats. At that time, I felt it sounded familiar, but I didn’t dare to be certain."

"Only when Daoist Fan Wu arrived in Lingchen County, where I, as the local Earth Deity, could plainly sense a powerful presence arriving in Lingchen County. Moreover, the sensation caused by your arrival confirmed to this little old one that it must be you."

"Only after this little old one came to this place and personally saw you, Daoist Fan Wu, did I become certain that it was indeed you who had come!" After uttering these words, the statue of the God of the Earth in Lingchen County began to move, and such a statue actually slowly knelt down in the direction of Fan Wu.

This scene left Yan Dalong and Yan Dahu and others behind stupefied. Even Yun Jiuqing and Xing Fengzi, who had followed Fan Wu for a long time, didn’t expect that an Earth God would kneel before Daoist Fan Wu!

Even if an Earth God was weak, He was still a true deity, with status and identity plainly apparent. Moreover, doesn’t a legitimate deity represent the Heavenly Court?

No matter what this Earth God represented, He should not kneel before Daoist Fan Wu, should He?

Yet, here was such an Earth Deity, now kneeling before Daoist Fan Wu. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Such a scene...

Was unexpected by everyone.

"This humble one begs of Daoist Fan Wu to bestow a life-saving favor upon this little old one! I implore Daoist Fan Wu to save the lives of the tens of thousands of civilians of Lingchen County! If Daoist Fan Wu can save the lives of the local tens of thousands, your virtue will be extolled through the ages!" The tone of Lingchen County’s Earth Deity was tinged with a trace of tearful pleading and an earnest request: "This little old one is out of options, only Daoist Fan Wu can help the tens of thousands of civilians!"

Fan Wu’s expression did not change; he looked at the statue of the Earth Deity kneeling before him, and his mood did not fluctuate greatly. In response to the Earth Deity’s plea, Fan Wu simply asked a few questions, "Why don’t you just say what happened? Why are you in such a state? Why do you say the people of this county are in such dire straits?"

After asking these questions, Fan Wu seemed to think of something else, and he continued to ask, "Moreover, aren’t you a deity? Why are you asking me for help? Shouldn’t you be asking your colleagues for help? Surely in the vast Shangwu Dynasty, you aren’t the only deity, right? It’s not possible. With so many deities above and below, you should be able to find a few, shouldn’t you?"

The Earth Deity of Lingchen County hastily responded, "Daoist Fan Wu, you do not understand! Here’s what happened..."

The Earth Deity of Lingchen County narrated in detail the various events that had occurred previously, adding many details as if fearing Fan Wu might overlook something. His explanation was filled with bitterness and helplessness.

Approximately more than half a month ago, the Earth Deity of Lingchen County, while in the Earth Temple, was routinely receiving offerings from the people of Lingchen County. He would appear every seven days to devour a wave of incense power from the Earth Temple.

Then... He would check in His Earth Temple to see if any worshippers were seeking His help. Within His capabilities, He would offer assistance.

But on that day, He discovered that the power of the incense in His Earth Temple had disappeared!

No! Rather than saying the incense power had vanished...

It was more accurate to say the spiritual essence had been stolen!

As a minor God of the Earth, the deity of Lingchen County was naturally in a panic, for... His cultivation relied entirely on the incense offered by the people. Whoever tampered with His incense was tampering with His lifeline. In rage, the Earth Deity of Lingchen County wanted to capture the thief. He summoned many birds and beasts, hoping they could help find the culprit.
