647: Whether you believe it or not is up to you. That's all I have to say, hahaha!

Everyone was shocked beyond belief!

It can be said that it was even more shocking than the emergence of the Reclusive Great Clans and Holy Lands!

Gods?

What kind of existence is that?

Is there still news of Gods circulating in the current Sacred Domain?

Yes!

But very little, very little!

Almost eighty to ninety percent of the people present had never even heard of so-called Gods!

In the hearts of many Cultivators in the current Sacred Domain, the Holy Lands and Reclusive Great Clans were the supreme Sects!

Venerable Realm Cultivators were an invincible existence, only existing in legends!

What Gods?

They had never even heard of them, okay?

It was precisely because of this that when Elder Liu Jian suddenly dropped such a shocking piece of news, it made many Cultivators feel unimaginable, completely subverting their previous understanding!

"Gods? How is that possible? How could Gods exist in this world? Impossible?!"

"Elder Liu Jian, we're not questioning you, but what you said is simply too sensational, even mentioning the unimaginable existence of Gods; it's simply impossible!"

All along, all Cultivators believed that there were no Gods in the world; they were just fabrications.

The Holy Lands and Reclusive Great Clans were already the ceiling of the entire Sacred Domain.

This was too terrifying.

Liu Jian smiled, looked at everyone, then tilted his head back, finished the wine in his cup, and then stood up and walked out of the door.

"Whether you believe it or not is up to you; this old man has said all he needs to, hahaha!"

Liu Jian did not stay; for him, mentioning Gods had already touched upon a certain taboo, and saying more would invite trouble, so it was best not to continue.

However, sometimes, things don't go as he wishes.

He thought too simply!

Some words, once spoken, also come with a price!

Boom!!!

Just as Liu Jian stepped out of the tavern door, an unimaginable force suddenly erupted in the Void Realm, striking directly at him!

"Ah! No!!!"

Liu Jian felt that terrifying power enveloping him, and his regret was beyond words.

Unfortunately, it was already too late!

Enveloped by this terrifying power, Liu Jian was instantly blown apart, turning into dust all over the ground!

Hiss!!!

The Cultivators who witnessed all of this gasped, looking with trepidation at the terrifying power fluctuation in the air.

After Liu Jian died, the power fluctuation trembled slightly, then disappeared.

The entire tavern was silent, as if frozen in time.

After a long while, a Cultivator finally reacted.

"Too... too terrifying. Could it be that this world really has..."

"Don't say another word! If you do, none of us will survive!"

"Yes, let's talk about the Forbidden Land Battlefield that's about to begin; we shouldn't invite unnecessary trouble."

The topic of Gods was no longer dared to be brought up!

After all, Liu Jian had just died; he was an Elder of a School, immensely powerful, but unfortunately, because he brought up the topic of Gods, he met with a swift demise.

How could anyone else dare to speak out?

Not all Cultivators are fearless of death; everyone wants to live, no one wants to seek death.

Especially since Gods are a level they cannot access; knowing too much will only lead to a quicker death... Meanwhile, at the Storm City Lord's Manor.

A group of Cultivators with extraordinary identities, exuding powerful auras, stood outside a grand hall, their gazes flashing as they looked at the dark shadow that appeared in the Void Realm.

That dark shadow was the mysterious force that had suddenly attacked Liu Jian.

"This aura, it must be someone from the Hall of Gods who made a move."

An old man stroked his beard, slowly speaking.

This old man was already a Heaven and Earth Sealing King Realm Cultivator, wearing a Daoist robe, with a huge Tai Chi Bagua diagram shining brightly on his back, as if a certain Dao principle was operating.

Lei Shan stood among the crowd; as the host here, those who could stand with him were naturally not ordinary people.

Every single person present was a Heaven and Earth Sealing King Realm Cultivator!

Each had an astonishing background!

And his strength was not the top among them, but as the host here, he still had some Face.

"Didn't the people from the Hall of Gods disappear for tens of thousands of years? Why would they suddenly appear at this time?"

"Could it be that they still have ideas about the Divine Ruins of that year?"

Lei Shan said in a deep voice.

The Hall of Gods has a very deep and mysterious origin!

Throughout the entire Sacred Domain, those who knew about the Hall of Gods were all top figures in major powers.

And very few of those who had contact with the Hall of Gods survived, because this force is not only incredibly mysterious but also very cautious about being discovered.

Once their identity is exposed, they often slaughter a large number of people.

Better to kill by mistake than to let anyone go.

Therefore, their reputation in the Sacred Domain was not good; almost all major powers were wary of them.

And because of this, in the last Forbidden Land Battlefield, the Cultivators of the Hall of Gods were jointly annihilated by experts from various major powers of the Sacred Domain, suffering heavy losses!

They went into seclusion for nearly a hundred thousand years!

After this long period, many people had already forgotten the terror of the Hall of Gods.

But now, the people of the Hall of Gods have reappeared, which made all the Cultivators present feel a bit tricky.

"Hmph! After the battle of that year, how much strength does the Hall of Gods still have? They might have already declined. Now, they rashly kill someone for news of a God; this is nothing but a display of their outward strength and inner weakness!"

A middle-aged Cultivator said coldly.

The School this middle-aged Cultivator belonged to was involved in the encirclement and suppression of the Hall of Gods' experts back then, so naturally, he would disparage this old rival.

"Something's not right. The Cultivators of the Hall of Gods have always acted discreetly, but today they are acting unusually, directly making a move in broad daylight. What exactly do they want to do?"

A Cultivator dressed as a scholar frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled, and offered his opinion.

At this moment, the Cultivators realized that what the scholar said indeed differed from the Hall of Gods' modus operandi they knew.

The old man in the Daoist robe nodded and said, "Resident Wu Wang's words are reasonable. In my opinion, the people of the Hall of Gods should not act without purpose; they are probably brewing something."

"Moreover, it is very likely that they are coming for the Schools involved in that battle of yesteryear. Now that they are appearing so high-profile, their strength compared to back then is probably not too different."

The old Daoist's words made all the Cultivators present nod in agreement.

This was the most plausible explanation.

The Hall of Gods claims to be the descendants of Gods, and their purpose is to protect everything related to Gods.

They would act whenever Gods were mentioned or matters related to Gods were involved.

Everyone knew this.

And wasn't the purpose of the many great Schools of the Sacred Domain entering the Sacred Domain precisely for the Divine Ruins?
