I'll Quit Being a God

Chapter 464: Impermanent God Lord

The words of Lu Heng left the White Dragon maiden feeling rather embarrassed.

"Hehe… after all, I am the youngest junior sister, so naturally, I should be taken care of… uh…"

The White Dragon maiden seemed to sense something, and her entire expression turned suspicious as she looked at Lu Heng. "Master, are you… are you reveling in my misfortune? Will I be bullied by my senior brothers and sisters when I meet them?"

Lu Heng looked at her, a mysterious smile playing on his lips, and said, "Since you possess telepathic abilities, take your time to ponder on it."

Saying so, Lu Heng descended directly and returned to the Ancestral Shrine once again.

At this moment, both inside and outside the Ancestral Shrine, there was already a fervor among the crowd, with many believers and pilgrims present.

However, the most crucial area was separated.

The wizards of the Fire God Temple were setting up formations to hunt down demons, seeking Lu Heng's whereabouts based on the traces and aura he left behind. Meanwhile, one of the individuals involved, an elderly man, was currently being questioned by the wizards and recounting the events that had just transpired.

Lu Heng stood among this group of wizards, watching as they formed their positions, yet not a single wizard could perceive his return.

Four thousand years later, Lu Heng's technique of hiding his presence had reached a transcendent state. If he didn't wish to reveal himself, there were only a few individuals in the entire Celestial Desolation Realm who could perceive his arrival.

Beside him, the figure of a young girl swiftly descended, chasing after him.

"Master!" The young girl held Lu Heng's hand, speaking coquettishly, "Why won't you tell me? Senior Brother Sun Yan is in such a dangerous situation, why is it that we don't need to worry about him instead? If you don't tell me, I won't be able to sleep at night."

Lu Heng remained indifferent as the young girl swayed his arm and coquettishly pleaded with him.

He stood in the courtyard, observing the group of wizards, attentively listening to the conversation among the leading few wizards.

After the interrogation, the few important parties involved were taken away by the wizards to the Fire God Temple for exorcism, in order to prevent the malevolent rituals from leaving a sinister mark on them. Meanwhile, the remaining wizards remained busy within the confines of the Ancestral Shrine.

However, the formation they used to track down the evil demons proved to be ineffective.

After the seventh failed pursuit, the leading wizard furrowed his brow.

"Surprisingly, we were unable to track down… this impudent evil demon causing trouble in Luoye City. It truly possesses remarkable abilities," the wizard remarked. "In that case, we have no choice but to light the soul-incense and seek the assistance of the Impermanent God Lord."

After the wizard finished speaking, his subordinates immediately carried out the orders, setting up a temporary altar on the side and igniting the specially crafted soul-incense on the altar.

While the soul-incense burns, a faint and fragrant aroma wafts through the air, accompanied by a subtle and eerie aura of death.

After half an hour, the air in front of the altar trembled, and two children, a boy and a girl, took steps forward from the ethereal realm.

The little boy was clad in deep black attire, his expression cold and indifferent, exuding a chilling aura that instilled fear in others.

The little girl, dressed in pure white, had a warm smile on her face, but her complexion was strangely pale. As her eyes wandered, they unexpectedly gave off an even more terrifying and eerie sensation.

In the moment when these two children, a boy and a girl, appeared, all the wizards present, including the leading wizard, promptly bowed and paid their respects.

"I pay my respect to the Impermanent God Lord!"

In the midst of the wizards' salutations, the boy clad in dark attire scanned the surroundings with a cold, indifferent expression and sternly asked, "Who summons my sister and me?"

The girl, dressed in pure white, spoke cheerfully, "Uncles, have you encountered any troubles? Judging by everyone's appearance, it seems like something significant has happened."

The attitudes of the two children were contrasting, one cold and the other warm, but the wizards present showed no surprise, as if they had long been aware of the temperaments of this sibling duo.

The wizard forced a bitter smile and said, "Bothering the two esteemed God Lords is truly out of helplessness. Today, a demon has arrived in Luoye City, and not long ago, it stirred up trouble in the Ancestral Shrine and quickly fled. Upon receiving the report, we promptly arrived and set up a pursuit formation in an attempt to apprehend it, but we were unable to trace the whereabouts of the demon."

"This demon possesses extraordinary power, and we are truly helpless. We can only trouble the two God Lords and seek their assistance."

The wizard said, "As the God Lords who oversee the world and possess knowledge of the yin and yang, if you take action, you will surely be able to expose this hidden demon."

The wizard explained the situation, but the young boy in a black robe responded with a cold expression, saying, "My sister and I are already busy patrolling the world and guiding lost souls. We have no time to help you in searching for demons at the Fire God Temple. Matters of the mortal realm should be handled by mortals. This demon is a living creature, not a lingering spirit. It is not our obligation to assist you in capturing it."

The young boy rudely rejected the proposition.

The little girl in a pure white dress giggled and said, "Sorry, uncles, it's not that we don't want to help, but this matter is truly beyond our jurisdiction. If we were to intervene, we could potentially face punishment… However, if you manage to eliminate it, then I and Wu You can step in."

Although the siblings had different attitudes, they both equally refused.

The wizards looked at each other, feeling somewhat helpless.

The leading wizard hesitated for a moment and then spoke, "To the two God Lords, this matter is indeed beyond your jurisdiction. We should not have troubled you in the first place. However, the origin of this demon is unclear, and it may be connected to Demon King Sun Yan."

"In the midst of the intense battle between good and evil, with such a powerful demon emerging in Luoye City, there must be something peculiar going on."

"After all, ever since the end of the battle two thousand years ago, when Demon King Sun Yan issued a prohibition on the demonic path, there hasn't been a top-notch demon appearing near the vicinity of All Souls Ancestral Root for over two thousand years."

"Now, there is a demon daring to violate the prohibition of Demon King and encroach upon the vicinity of All Souls Ancestral Root. Furthermore, they mentioned Demon King Sun Yan in public and falsely claimed that he is a disciple of the Heavenly Lord, tarnishing the reputation of the Heavenly Lord… We suspect that the demonic path will have significant actions in this area!"

"In this urgent situation, I hope the two God Lords will not hesitate to take action and promptly find the lurking demon, in order to prevent them from causing mischief in secret."

The wizard spoke frankly, however, upon hearing his words, both children were stunned.

"That demon claimed that Demon King Sun Yan is a disciple of the Heavenly Lord?!"

The two siblings simultaneously revealed expressions of astonishment.

Under the scorching sun, Shen Wuyou, dressed in black, furrowed his brow and said, "Sister, this demon… truly possesses an extraordinary origin."

White Impermanence Shen Wuyou shared a smile before he sighed and said, "If that's truly the case, we siblings cannot simply sit idly by…"

Speaking thus, the siblings reached out with a hand each, clasping each other, as a black and white talisman materialized from their hands.

The eerie aura filled the entire Ancestral Shrine in an instant.

In that very moment, Lu Heng's brow furrowed as he, accompanied by the young white dragon girl, swiftly retreated and departed from the confines of Luoye City.

However, even so, it was still too slow.

In that instant when the talisman appeared, the siblings who held the prohibition command turned their heads simultaneously and gazed towards the spot where Lu Heng had been moments earlier.

On the faces of the siblings, expressions of astonishment were revealed.

"This spiritual aura…"

"How familiar!"
