“Are you still not ready to talk about the matter of that year?”Li Yunmu enquired in his brain.

But there was deathly stillness in his mind. The system was clearly pretending to not have heard him.

But why exactly was it not saying anything even now? Li Yunmu thought about it but couldn’t understand it. He didn’t continue asking, however. If the system wanted to speak, then it would do so, without waiting for him to ask about it.

But the system wasn’t speaking and Brunhilda’s words caused a sense of crisis to rise in Li Yunmu’s heart.

“Among the seven ancient gods of Lanlou, apart from Ancient Goddess Lakshmi, all the other six ancient gods use power of belief. If you kill those six ancient gods, then once the master gods returns, he will naturally settle debts with you. Perhaps you don’t place ancient gods in your eyes, but you don’t have the least bit of assurance against winning against master gods,” Brunhilda said without any hesitation, but with a frown on her face.

“My present strength is only at quasi master god level. But with demonic transformation, I might not completely lose against a master god.”

Li Yunmu took hold of Brunhilda’s lily-white hands to console her.

When she heard him, she shook her head. “You don’t understand. Although the difference between quasi master gods and master gods is only one step, an unsurpassable ravine exists between them. In the eyes of a master god, there’s no difference between quasi master gods and ancient gods. Both of them can be pinched to death.”

Li Yunmu had never thought that the difference between master gods and quasi master gods would be so huge. But even if a master god returned and saw that someone had killed six of their ancient gods, they shouldn’t find the person to take their revenge.

After all, the one who removed the five seals would be Li Yunmu. They should all thank him for removing their shackles.

What was more, even if the master god wanted revenge, given the presence of the True God, their strength wouldn’t be enough to achieve that.

“Don’t worry. Even if the six ancient gods have backing, I also have it. Alright, let’s not discuss these eyesores. There are more important matters waiting for our attention.”

“What matters...”

Before Brunhilda could finish, she realized what matter Li Yunmu was talking about. She rolled her eyes and took the initiative to snuggle with Li Yunmu.

Since she learned that Li Yunmu had an illegitimate daughter outside, she thought of having their own child. For this reason, it was better if they tried for it any time there was a moment when no one would disturb them.

Time continued to pass. For gods, two days went by in a wink.

During that time, Li Yunmu and Brunhilda stayed inside the palace, trying their utmost to sow a seed. Ever since Li Yunmu came, Liu Bailing intentionally avoided Brunhilda and suppressed the thoughts in her heart by keeping herself busy with the holy daughters of the Music Clan.

When Liu Bailing saw the five envoys for the first time, she was quite intimidated.

They were said to be very arrogant, but they took a few steps back after meeting her and shut themselves in their rooms on the grounds of being out of sorts.

Among the holy daughters, Hu Shi happened to be by Liu Bailing’s side then and told her about Li Yunmu impersonating her and beating the five envoys violently. When Liu Bailing heard that, her fair face turned bright red, and she said in an extremely soft voice, “Destroying my reputation like that... Who will marry me now?”

Once the two days passed, everyone in the Music Clan began to prepare the mansion and built a stage in the center of the lotus pond. They also set up spectator stands all around it. One after another, Music Clan’s descendants rushed to take their seats nervously.

The competition right then was related to Lakshmi City’s new ancient goddess. If she lost, Lakshmi City’s position would be greatly reduced and it would turn into a subordinate to the five ancient gods.

The eleven holy daughters appeared suddenly with Brunhilda and sat down on the competition platform. Before long, the five envoys also arrived on the competition stage.

After being beaten viciously, the five envoys respectfully nodded toward Brunhilda and said, “Ancient Goddess Liu Qing is early.”

“Naturally I wanted to come a little bit earlier. It would be better to cut off the plans of your god fathers prematurely,” Brunhilda said while holding a cup of tea.

Jia Tiankuang sneered then sat down in front of the holy daughters. Although the two sides weren’t at war, the mood on stage was extremely serious.

The next instant, multicolored light blossomed in the sky. Five rays of light suddenly appeared and dropped on the bodies of the five envoys. After the lights disappeared, the five envoys opened their eyes one by one and erupted with divine presence.

“Liu Qing, you came early. We five were a little slow.”

“Hahaha, we haven’t seen each other for only a brief few days, but I already feel that three autumns have passed.”

The faces of the five envoys were filled with smiles while speaking with Brunhilda.

She forced a smile on her face and softly said, “Since you’ve come, then let’s begin. Who among you will come first?”

It was the day of the competition, so all the descendants of the Music Clan were gathered at the lotus pond. The entire residence was completely empty.

When Li Yunmu walked out from the palace, he glanced in the direction of the lotus pond and sensed the eruption of the divine presences.

“Phew, releasing divine presence just after descending. I wonder how will you be able to smile after losing Heavenly Grand Ritua,” Li Yunmu mumbled.

“You want to steal Heavenly Grand Ritual?”

A sharp and clear feminine voice echoed from behind, and Li Yunmu turned around to see Liu Bailing looking at him with a strange expression.

Li Yunmu looked at Liu Bailing’s blank expression and said with a smile, “Why did you come here? Being a holy daughter, don’t you need to be present on the stage?”

.

Liu Bailing saw his passionate gaze, and her face turned slightly red. She lowered her head and said, “What will I do there? I am only someone who recently became a holy daughter, so my strength still hasn’t reached the god realm. If I go, I will only lose face for Lakshmi City.”

Li Yunmu nodded and asked, “Then why did you come here? To find me?”

When he said that, Liu Bailing’s face turned even redder, and she lowered her head more. She had appeared in the vicinity of Brunhilda’s palace to find Li Yunmu.

After learning from Holy Daughter Hu Sh that her reputation was gone, she naturally wanted to borrow this opportunity to ask Li Yunmu about what exactly was he thinking.

But when she reached the palace, she had second thoughts about her decision. After all, she was a holy daughter of Lakshmi City. If she directly spoke such words, she would probably be laughed at by others. After thinking for a long while, she still decided to walk on ahead to find Li Yunmu to clarify.

Liu Bailing thought about the words stuck in her throat and forcefully swallowed them. “I came to find you to ask about Pipa Clan’s children. Are they doing alright?”

Li Yunmu looked at Liu Bailing who had lowered her head and said with satisfaction, “They are safe. Asura wouldn’t attack weaklings. You can be calm. Wait until I steal the Heavenly Grand Ritual, then the five ancient gods and Asura are bound to fight. When that happens, I will rescue those children.”

Liu Bailing nodded and softly said, “Be careful.”
