Brunhilda smiled and said in a disdainful tone, “When all’s said and done, you men are really pigs. You would immediately lose reason upon seeing a beautiful woman. This Pipa Clan’s first holy daughter is extremely beautiful, which caused the five ancient gods who have been existing from ancient times to become confused. When they saw me, they almost broke into a fight among themselves.

“An internal strife would be good for us, but unfortunately, the five ancient gods are really good schemers. Within a single discussion, they unexpectedly allied and decided to use me as the chip for alliance. Only after persuading them with all I could did I come up with a martial competition.

“If the five ancient gods attacked together, I wouldn’t be their opponent. But if they came to me one by one, I wouldn’t even care about them.”

Li Yunmu nodded while looking at Brunhilda’s appearance with his mind fluctuating. Sure enough, her extreme beauty could charm people’s hearts to the point that even someone with a mental fortitude like his would be unable to persevere. What could then be said about the five ancient gods who had countless thoughts in their mind? But by daring to desire Li Yunmu’s woman, they were simply courting death.

The temperature in the hall dropped slightly.

Brunhilda saw Li Yunmu’s expression and said with a smile, “Why don’t you say whether those five ancient gods are necessary for us or not? If they aren’t, then the two of us, husband and wife, could deal with them. That way, we wouldn’t even need to proceed with the martial competition. It would be much better.”

“No, the five ancient gods need to exist. I want them to take the initiative to battle Asura and begin the second battle between gods,” Li Yunmu said with a charming smile.

Liu Bailing and Yu Rou frowned slightly. If a battle between gods began in Lanlou, it would certainly cover the whole land, and who could say how many people would perish. But the two of them soon remembered that part of Ancient God Lakshmi’s soul was still in Asura’s hand, so if they didn’t start the battle between gods, they wouldn’t be able to retrieve it.

In almost no time, the wrinkled brows of the two of them smoothed out.

“If a battle between gods begins, Lakshmi City will provide asylum to numerous mortals. Although they have already began to practice martial skills, they would still be ants in the battle between gods.”

“If we allow those gods to live, then this martial competition will proceed. One by one, I will injure the ancient gods, but how do you want to deal with the five of them? Although they will prostrate themselves in front of my skirt, they aren’t idiots,” Brunhilda said.

Li Yunmu didn’t reply. He thought about how to use the five ancient gods to deal with Asura.

At this time, the system’s voice echoed in his mind, [Dealing with the five ancient gods isn’t difficult. As long as you capture their vitality gate, it can be done.]

Vitality gate? What’s a vitality gate?

“You said that the five ancient gods have a weakness?”

Li Yunmu used a mental transmission to talk to the system.

[Everyone has a vitality gate. You also have one. If the demonic energy in your body erupted, you would transform into a devil that even your family wouldn’t recognize. The vitality gates of the five ancient gods are present on the divine treasure, Heavenly Divine Ritual.

[Heavenly Grand Ritual can break the curse and allow flesh and bones to rejuvenate for eternity. If an ordinary person obtained it, they would obtain immortality like that of gods and would never die,] the system explained.

Heavenly God Ritual was Li Yunmu’s real goal behind coming to Lanlou. It was to break the curse of short life hanging over his daughter. But how was it related to the five ancient gods?

“What’s the use of Heavenly Grand Ritual for those five ancient gods?” Li Yunmu asked with some doubt in his voice.

“When Lanlou and Ocean Region allied to deal with Land of Ice, apart from Asura who was hiding his strength, the other six ancient gods were rather seriously injured. Otherwise why would they return to divine palace to recuperate.

[The injuries of ancient gods are different from those of mortals, however. The stronger they are, the more time they will require to recuperate.

[Given the injuries of the five of them, it would normally require a hundred years for them to return to their former glory. Even after using the power of belief, they would still need fifty years. But with the Heavenly Grand Ritual, the five ancient gods would only need ten years to recover completely and return to peak strength,] the system slowly said.

“So this Heavenly Grand Ritual is presently the most important treasure for the five ancient gods. No wonder they don’t have the intention to start the battle between gods,” Li Yunmu conveyed in his mind using his thoughts.

In the beginning, the five ancient gods had no intention of allying with the ancient goddess or the four ancestors. They might have allied on the surface, but they definitely had no intention to let the situation devolve to the state where they would be all tied by the same rope.

In their mind, they would ally with both sides to kill Asura, which was beneficial for them. One more territory meant one more portion of power of belief, which could allow them to quickly recover their injuries. If that did not work, then the alliance of the five gods could still have the use of cowering Asura by force.

Naturally, after returning from Asura City, the five ancient gods knew about the severity of Lakshmi’s injuries and threw away the thought of alliance and returned to their divine palace to recuperate. Their best choice right then was to return to the divine palace and heal with the assistance of Heavenly Grand Ritual.

Ten years could be considered both long and short. In the eyes of undying gods, they would pass within a blink, and when their strength reached the pinnacle, they could engage in the battle of gods.

Asura also had the same thoughts. Although he was half a step in the quasi master god realm, Ancient God Lakshmi’s soul wasn’t easy to suppress. Only after it was thoroughly refined could he attain quasi master god status.

But how could Li Yunmu let the battle of gods be delayed for ten years? Given such a long time, it was uncertain if he could remain for so long in Lanlau, let alone keep Dragon Lady and his daughter safe.

“Both sides want to postpone the battle of gods. No wonder then that the five ancient gods didn’t attack at that time, and Asura also didn’t make his move. Since this is the case, we must be the ones to light the fire. Don’t these five gods consider Heavenly Grand Ritual as the supreme treasure? Then we will go, steal it, and place it in Asura City,” Li Yunmu said to the system.

It smiled. [If the five ancient gods discovered that the divine instrument for treating them was found in Asura City, or even on Asura, they would be forced to attack.

[With Heavenly Grand Ritual gone, they won’t have another choice; otherwise, after Asura refines the soul of the ancient goddess, they will be met with a disaster.]

“But the one most difficult to deal with is you. Previously, you didn’t agree to help, but now you’re offering your assistance. So, after seeing those mortals, do you approve of my theory?” Li Yunmu asked in a mocking voice.

The system didn’t reply. It just disappeared in his mind.

After returning to reality, Li Yunmu looked at Brunhilda sitting on the main seat and said, “Leave the matter of the competition to me. Would the five ancient gods use their main bodies to participate in the battle in Lakshmi City?”

When Brunhilda heard this, she coldly sneered and said, “How could the five ancient gods descend from the divine palace? They will possess the envoys they dispatched for the battle. When everyone is suppressed to god realm, the competition will be fair.”
