I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

At Han Zhan’s question, the other senior brothers and sisters slightly glanced at him.

Even Shen Luo, who usually had a calm expression, couldn’t help but look at him more.

This was truly a daring question.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ziya not only was not annoyed by the questioning, but his eyes showed a hint of approval.

”Very good.”

”Ji Fa, you possess a quality that your senior brothers and sisters do not have, which is why I truly favor you.”

”Your choices, your thinking, your origin, destined you not to always abide by the old customs, but to challenge and break the rules, doing things that others cannot achieve.”

Jiang Ziya did not hesitate to praise.

It turns out that reasonable questioning of the master is also something that ordinary people cannot do?

Perhaps for the people of this world, judging by the reactions of the other senior brothers and sisters, it indeed seems so.

However, Han Zhan himself didn’t think much of it; he just wanted to understand the whole event and find the culprit behind it.

Jiang Ziya continued, ”I received an invitation to another Land of Divine Punishment, so when the incident occurred, I was not in the Ancestral Temple.”

Land of Divine Punishment?

Han Zhan seemed to recall that when Chang Hao previously talked to him about Xiqi and the Quanrong, he often used the term ”Land of Divine Punishment.”

”The Land of Divine Punishment is a place punished by the Celestial Gods.”

Jiang Ziya feared Han Zhan didn’t know and explained to him.

”There are many Celestial Gods, and their requirements vary, like Xiqi, which serves the Sun God, whose favorite sacrifice is chickens, the most cultivated animal in the granary.”

”If the demands of the Celestial God cannot be satisfied, the god will impose punishment, such punishment is divine wrath.”

Xiqi was subjected to divine wrath because it could not fulfill the Sun God’s demands, turning it into a Land of Divine Punishment.

In fact, besides Xiqi, most other places have also become Lands of Divine Punishment.

After all, if the demands of the Celestial Gods are easily met by mortals, would they still be called demands of the Celestial Gods?

Due to various divine wraths, the entire world is like it is trapped in Purgatory.

”Did the teacher save another Land of Divine Punishment?” Chang Hao asked, a bit surprised after hearing Jiang Ziya’s words.

”It can’t be considered saving, just freeing the people there from endless punishments by the Celestial Gods, like Xiqi did, finding them a way to survive.”

Jiang Ziya did this in spreading belief.

The reputation of Ancestral Temple will spread more widely due to good deeds in saving the people in the Land of Divine Punishment.

Han Zhan, who already understood the benefits of people’s faith and Wish Power for self-nurturing the Great Path, fully understood the significance of Jiang Ziya’s actions.

Letting the people of a Land of Divine Punishment survive is indeed a great act of merit.

Jiang Ziya’s ”alibi” was astonishing and convincing.

Thus, it seemed everyone, including Master Jiang Ziya, was temporarily excluded from suspicion.

At this time, Jiang Ziya was no longer persistent in finding the traitor and once again asked another question:

”Now that the Celestial God Sacrifice is destroyed, do you have any solutions?”

Besides a large number of live chickens, Xiqi needs to regularly offer other various foods to the Sun God.

The Sun God has a hearty appetite, and to satisfy it, the granary was built with the help of the Ancestral Temple.

Because the supply of Celestial God Sacrifices is stable, it has been a long time since the Sun God has imposed new divine wrath.

People of Xiqi can survive, reproduce in the granary, and as the population gradually increases, the pressure of supplying sacrifices decreases.

This was supposed to be a virtuous cycle, but now...

”The sacrifices required by the Sun God are vast amounts of food, which takes time to grow and cannot be done in a hurry.”

”There are three days until the sacrifices are offered; can we buy food from other places to tide us over during this time?”

”However, each Land of Divine Punishment has its own difficulties, and even if food can be purchased, it’s hard to satisfy the requirements for sacrifices in quantity.”

Even if Xiqi is willing to pay a high price to buy food, in the end, the amount may still be limited.

This path should be unfeasible.

”I’ll give it a try with a divination.” Seeing everyone silent, Lu Tao decided to try using Profound Skill.

After the first time, then the second, and after the second, then the third.

By looking at Lu Tao’s expression, you can guess the result without seeing it.

It seems that metaphysics also can’t be relied on.

”I can attack the Quanrong.” Suddenly, Shen Luo shared his plan.

The Quanrong, as a Land of Divine Punishment, is punished by the Fire Celestial God. To please the Fire Celestial God, they have to constantly battle lava monsters born from divine wrath on their territory.

This has made the Quanrong ruffian and belligerent.

There have been previous instances where the Quanrong attacked Xiqi, plundering a large amount of food.

”Besides the lava monster’s heart, the sacrifices for the Fire Celestial God also require a large amount of food; they must have stored it in advance.”

”If the Quanrong can be attacked within three days, Xiqi’s urgent need can be resolved.”

When the first disciple Shen Luo spoke, it had a quite stunning effect.

After listening to him, everyone leaned back slightly as a tactical retreat.

Jiang Ziya looked at this big disciple, moved his lips, but ultimately said nothing.

It was Chang Hao who spoke, breaking the brief silence.

”Senior Brother, I’m afraid that won’t work.”

”The warriors of Quanrong have been fighting powerful lava monsters all their lives, they drink the monsters’ blood and gnaw their hearts, causing the people of Quanrong Kingdom to mutate into giants two to three meters tall.”

”Just relying on us, it’s a bit unrealistic to attack Quanrong.”

”Moreover, the Ancestral Temple relies on the path of people’s faith and Wish Power to nourish the Great Path. If news of attacking Quanrong spreads, it will be a major blow to the Ancestral Temple.”

Whether victory or defeat, the fame Jiang Ziya painstakingly created for the Ancestral Temple may be ruined if its disciples attack neighboring countries.

Unless they adopt a different strategy, switching from saving all people to enslaving them.

In that case, they could still gain faith and Wish Power without worrying about people’s backlash.

However... Jiang Ziya should not choose this approach; otherwise, he could have done so from the start.

Successive proposals were rejected, and everyone fell silent again.

At this moment, Han Zhan stepped forward from the crowd, approached Jiang Ziya, and said:

”Master, perhaps I have a way to help Xiqi and the Ancestral Temple through this crisis!”
