Chapter 795: The Reverence of Gods
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
For what seemed like ages, Li Yunmu stood in front of the villagers with his eyes closed as if going through a mental journey.
The villagers looked at him with hearts filled with curiosity as to why he had gathered them in the open space. Among them, one villager, who was standing behind village chief, stretched his head slightly forward.
“Village chief, you say, why exactly do you think lord god has gathered us here? If he has some instructions, then why hasn’t he said anything for so long?” he asked in a whisper.
The village chief glanced at the villager. His eyelids dropped and he calmly said, “Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask. Lord god asked us to stand here so we are standing here.”
Before his words could fade away, the villager pulled back his head and began to wait calmly for Li Yunmu to speak.
Li Yunmu opened his eyes and looked at the villager in the front while the system roared in his brain.
[Youngster, you definitely cannot do this! Do you even know what you are doing? Mortals revering gods has been fixed from the time this universe was born and hasn’t been changed until now. If you really do this, then the entire world will be thrown into chaos.]
“Yes, that’s exactly what I want to see. Moreover, don’t tell me that when you were the True God, you didn’t try to make some changes? For example… this power of belief.”
The system was left speechless by Li Yunmu’s words.
Li Yunmu didn’t continue talking to it and returned his focus upon the villagers in front of him. After experiencing the massacre, only a few strong men were still alive. The majority of them were either old, weak, women, or children.
Without saying anything, Li Yunmu stretched his hand out and waved. His shadow under the sun turned into a mass of black mist, which was constantly twisting around, and stretched across the flat ground toward the villagers, where it stopped and slowly floated above the ground. Then, it transformed into a 1.85 m blonde muscular man.
The body of the man formed from the black mist had the most optimal constitution and was filled with muscles. A formidable pressure burst forth from him, and a strong gale caused all the dust to fly around.
The villagers standing in the front had to squint because of the wind and dust in the air.
After the breeze passed, the villagers opened their eyes and looked at the blonde man standing one meter away from them in stupefaction. Once the initial surprise passed though, the village chief in the front bent his knee and knelt on the ground.
“Greetings to lord god,” he said respectfully.
The dumbfounded villagers behind him also followed and knelt on the ground.
Chen Xiu, who was still kneeling on the ground, raised his head, and the face at the back of his head revealed a hint of helplessness. Another ancient god had appeared at some point in time.
Li Yunmu looked at the respectful villagers and said with a hint of a sneer, “You don’t need to kneel in front of him, only treat him as the main culprit behind yesterday’s massacre. Do whatever you want to him.”
When the villagers heard this, they raised their heads and began to look at each other. A long time passed, but no one dared to stand up and do anything to the blonde god. Since ancient times, the seed of reverence toward the gods had taken root in their hearts.
The village chief was terrified and said while kowtowing toward Li Yunmu, “Lord god, did we do anything wrong? If we did anything wrong, then we beg for your forgiveness. Please don’t punish us.”

[Youngster, I said this was the regulation which cannot be reversed. But unfortunately, you didn’t believe me. Now though, you should be convinced. ]
The system began to laugh maniacally after saying that.
Li Yunmu coldly snorted and looked at the villagers who were like rotten wood on which nothing could be carved and said in an ice-cold tone, “I am allowing you to do whatever you want. From now on, don’t treat this blonde man in front of you as a god.
“Instead, consider him as the main culprit behind the massacre of your relatives yesterday. Whether you want to kill him or beat him, you can do as you wish.”
After hearing his words, the village chief was even more frightened and didn’t dare to make any movements. But a few children standing in the last row quietly struggled free of their mothers’ hands. They picked up small rocks from the ground and threw them at the front.
“Hit and kill this villain!”
“I will kill you, evil person!”
One after another, small rocks thrown by the children hit the body of the blonde god.
Upon seeing this, the villagers became alarmed and grabbed the hands of the children, furiously scolding them. But the villagers could only control the actions of the children and not change the trajectory of the stones already in the air.
Those stones hit the body of the blonde god before falling to the ground. Yet the blonde god remained expressionless and did not move in the slightest.
The villagers were about to kneel on the ground and beg for forgiveness when they saw that there was no reaction from the blonde god and they suddenly recalled Li Yunmu’s words. After a period of silence, some of the young men of the village clenched their fists and struck the blonde god.
One after another, punches rained down and strands of black mist were emitted by the blonde god’s body.
After seeing this, the rest of the villagers also rushed over to attack the blonde god. Among them, some women and children even brought eggs and food from the wooden houses.
Li Yunmu stood on the side, watching the red-eyed villagers who clearly held great resentment in their hearts. Originally, they were filled with great reverence, but under his step-by-step guidance, they were finally able to remove the shackles on their hearts and do what they wanted to do.
“What now? Like I said, power of belief can be eliminated completely,” Li Yunmu said with a smile in his mind.
[You think that doing this will eliminate the reverence in the hearts of mortals? The reason why these villagers are able to kill this god is entirely because he isn’t resisting. If a genuine god was here, he would have killed all of them instantly. Therefore, your method doesn’t prove anything,] the system said with a dull tone.
“It is impossible to completely eradicate a deep-rooted thought in a short time. I am not an idiot and naturally know this. But at this instant, I have already buried an additional seed in the hearts of these villagers. It is the seed of murdering gods.
“After the gods were created by you, they have been set up high and their position had never changed. Unless they experience an accident in battle, a god can virtually live for an eternity. All while the mortals below them are born and grow old without any opportunity to change their fate.
“Apart from me whose an exception, which of the mortals can become a god? No one, there is no one. You know what I want to say, the gods have existed for too long and have already become an obstruction in the development of the world.
“Let alone me, you yourself also think so. You created the gods, but discovered that they were fixated in their ancient thinking, without any motive to move forward.
“Therefore, you created the power of belief and used it to make the gods advance by another step, turning them into ancient gods and then into master gods. After that, you allowed the master gods to use the power of belief to become the True God. But when some time passed, you grew fearful and prohibited the gods from using the power of belief to raise their cultivation.”
After saying his hypothesis, Li Yunmu calmly waited for the system’s reply.
