Chapter 97: Chapter 87: Even the City God Can’t Discern Daoist Priest Fan’s Foundation! City God’s Command! (Seeking First Subscription)_1

Fan Wu didn’t know what means the City God of Yinghe Prefecture had used at this moment, but he distinctly felt...that he hadn’t been blinded in his five senses, but rather, he had been pulled into another realm.

Yet, deep within him, a subconscious voice told him — this place was still the main hall of the City God’s temple.

He had left, and left alone in solitude. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

This contradictory sensation...

Was very bizarre.

When he opened his eyes and looked around, he saw dense yin energy drifting all around, while eerie and mysterious red and green lights flickered slowly in the surroundings, and beneath his feet was a vast expanse of pitch-dark stone slabs.

From time to time, he vaguely heard the harrowing wails of the tormented, and it seemed he could also hear the surging sound of a great river.

He smelled a scent unlike anything in the human world.

It was the endless aura of deathly silence!

Looking up,

he saw... the huge statue of the City God that normally resided in the main hall of the temple was also sitting in this eerie place.

This statue possessed a divine quality that was even more pronounced than when he had seen it in the main hall!

It was as if...

It had come to life!

"Fan Wu... born in the year 1751 of the Great Zhou, in Qiu Long County under the jurisdiction of Yinghe Prefecture," suddenly, a voice filled with solemnity and authority echoed layer upon layer in this place.

At this moment, the feeling of being watched by something also became increasingly clear.

Fan Wu knew that the City God of Yinghe Prefecture was watching him!

And moreover, this must also be Him speaking!

Fan Wu didn’t interrupt.

He did not cut off the City God’s voice.

The solemn and awe-inspiring voice continued: "This year, twenty-three. Remaining lifespan... hmm?"

"Parents... hmm?"

"Past life... hmm?"

"..."

The scene suddenly fell into deathly silence, and at this time, the voice of the City God of Yinghe Prefecture also abruptly stopped.

He perhaps had never encountered such a situation before.

It seemed as if He had fallen into a contemplative state.

It was at this moment that Fan Wu felt that the pair of eyes assessing him became increasingly frequent in their scrutiny. He couldn’t tell if it was just his imagination, but Fan Wu felt that this City God of Yinghe Prefecture, perhaps, hadn’t seen much of the world?

What is there to scrutinize so thoroughly?

What is there to gaze at with such curiosity?

Soon, that voice... spoke up once again: "Could you please put aside the Northern Black Chariot Gunky Horn Demon-Slaying Heroic Sword for a moment?"

This statement was obviously directed at Fan Wu.

Fan Wu didn’t detect any hostile intent in these words, but rather a sense of confusion.

He thought about it.

And complied.

Fan Wu removed the Demon-Slaying Sword from his back and placed it a short distance from his feet.

If anything unexpected were to happen, he would be able to pick it up again in the blink of an eye.

"Hmm..."

"Hmm?"

The City God of Yinghe Prefecture, full of astonishment and wonder, did not hide what He had seen and heard but spoke openly: "Why can I not see your lifespan? Nor your past life? And not even your parents?"

"...It shouldn’t be. Even if you have the Northern Black Chariot Gunky Horn Demon-Slaying Heroic Sword and the favor of the Holy Emperor upon you, once the Demon-Slaying Sword is put aside, I, as the City God, should be able to discern some clues."

"So why can’t I see them? I’m even beginning to doubt whether you are truly human?"

Fan Wu: "?"

A City God is a professional, after all, and yet, such a specialist is turning around to ask me, an amateur pretending to be a Taoist Priest?

And suggesting that I, Fan Wu, am not human?

However, the words spoken by the City God of Yinghe Prefecture did lead Fan Wu into deep contemplation.

The other party couldn’t see too much about his origins...

What could be the reason for this?

Is it the system?

If it’s because of the point-adding system, doesn’t that mean the system’s rank is much higher than a City God of Yinghe Prefecture?

"I can’t discern your truth and falsity... Perhaps only one of the Ten Yama Kings would be able to see what your foundation truly is," the City God of Yinghe Prefecture spoke as if He was saying whatever came to mind.

He wouldn’t conceal what He had seen.

Nor would He conceal what He hadn’t seen.

Admitting that He couldn’t discern the foundation of a mere mortal might diminish His image as a divine being of the netherworld.

But... He still said it.

Perhaps.

He didn’t care about such images.

Right.

If Fan Wu’s own attribute panel was also full of question marks, those question marks would have already elevated his own prestigious image, why bother with deceptive acts?

Fan Wu was indifferent to his own origins, knowing he was a transmigrator was enough for him.

He was, however, curious about the "Ten Yama Kings" mentioned by the City God.

Those Ten Yama Kings must be referring to the Ten Halls Yama, right? Although Fan Wu was completely ignorant about matters of gods and spirits, he had some knowledge of very popular deities.

Like King Yama, Qin Guang Wang...

Oh.

He could only remember two.

No worries then!

Whether it was by reading the change in Fan Wu’s expression and deducing his thoughts, or by some other means to grasp a part of what Fan Wu was thinking... the solemn voice of the City God of Yinghe Prefecture once again rose: "You sure are bold."

"I just said that perhaps only one of the Ten Yama Kings could discern your foundation, and you really want to meet Them! For mortals to witness the true form of a deity is to fall into an endless abyss."

"Even if you see Me now, it’s only through a statue that I am conversing and meeting with you."
