Chapter 274: Empire Tian, Dark Demon Evil Tiger Assign Divine Positions
The gods followed the direction and soon arrived at the mountain range where the villagers claimed to have seen the soul beasts.
They began an all-out frantic search, spending a whole month.
Finally, they discovered a cave in a canyon, and inside this massive cave, they found a barrier!
This was a barrier specially set by Ye Wen, using Shui Bing'er's residual divine consciousness to make the message appear more real, in order to deceive the gods!
"There is a hidden barrier here!! Break it, and these vile creatures might be hiding inside!!"
"Step aside!!!"
"Hmph!! A mere barrier, do you think you can stop me? Thunder Fist!!"
Zzzzzzz!
Boom! Boom Boom!!
Thunder God was extremely furious, smashing the barrier with one punch and leading the charge inside, but they found no target.
"Not here?"
"Look!"
However, the gods discovered many traces left by Shui Bing'er and Ye Wen's illusionary forms, such as beast footprints!
Additionally, Shui Bing'er and Zhu Zhuqing had specifically placed a few dead Sea Soul Beasts' bones and even some bodies that hadn't yet turned to bone.
A self-assured god who thought his detection ability was impressive, stroked his chin and analyzed the scene like a detective: "There are many beast bones left behind here, and from the bone shape, they're all Sea Soul Beasts."
"They were probably brought here to be eaten. There is still some beast flesh left, which hasn't been consumed. Based on the surrounding traces, it's likely they lived here for some time."
"They must have left recently. If they moved to another hiding place, it's highly probable that they're in the northeastern sea area!!!"
"Hmph! Let's go search the sea!!" Thunder God roared.
The gods resumed their search, chasing after the false lead and rushing towards the northeastern sea area, continuing their frantic investigation.
After several more months of searching, they discovered another false lead, laid by Shui Bing'er and Zhu Zhuqing, which led them to another barrier. Upon breaking it, no target was found, but they were once again provided with another clue, directing them to a different location.
The gods started to fall deeper into the trap, being led around in circles.
And so, nearly a year passed.
The gods finally began to realize they had been tricked.
Thunder God, whose face was now green with rage, roared with fury: "Damn! These damned lowly beasts!! They've been toying with us! Toying with me!!"
"Wait until I catch you! I'll make you wish you were dead!!!"
"Ahhhhhhh!!!"
Thunder God was furious, his face flushed red with anger, and his violent Thunder God power surged in sync with his raging emotions.
"I can't wait any longer! I'm going to the Star Dou Forest and slaughter those low-level soul beasts! Kill them all!!!"
"I don't believe those vile creatures will just sit and watch as their soul beast kin are slaughtered! They'll come out to stop us!!"
Sea God's face was also grim. He turned to a second-level god, Speed God, and said, "Speed God, return to the Divine Realm as fast as possible and inform the Divine Realm Committee about our plan. See if we can use soul beast slaughter to draw out those beast gods."
"Alright, I'm going now." Speed God nodded and immediately headed back to the Divine Realm.
It had been too long, and if they got the approval from the Divine Realm Committee, there would be no objections from the other gods.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Speed God flew off quickly.
Although Speed God was only a second-level god, in terms of speed, she was on par with first-level gods. She was assigned the task to return to the Divine Realm.
Meanwhile.
In the alternate dimension created by Bat King.
Empire Tian and Dark Demon Evil Tiger, in human form, finally reached level 99 at this moment.
Boom! Boom Boom!
Powerful soul energy waves erupted from both Empire Tian and Dark Demon Evil Tiger. They reached level 99 in human form almost simultaneously.
At this moment, both Empire Tian and Dark Demon Evil Tiger stood before Ye Wen.
"We are ready to bear the divine positions. Please grant us divine power," they said.
"Mm."
Now, it was time for Ye Wen to make his choice.
The last remaining god king position—would it go to Empire Tian or Dark Demon Evil Tiger?
"Empire Tian, Dark Demon Evil Tiger, the god king level position will be assigned between you two. Therefore, one of you will receive the god king level position, and the other will receive the first-level god position," Ye Wen said.
Before Ye Wen spoke, both Empire Tian and Dark Demon Evil Tiger had already guessed that it would most likely be decided between them.
Everyone could sense it.
However, it was difficult to say which one would be chosen. Both Empire Tian and Dark Demon Evil Tiger had the qualifications to bear the god king position.
"You two, who do you think it will be, Empire Tian or Dark Demon Evil Tiger?" Xiao Bai asked.
"It's hard to say. The bloodlines of Empire Tian and Dark Demon Evil Tiger are the highest and strongest among us. Empire Tian's Golden-Eyed Black Dragon Clan is one of the top dragon clans among those still alive," Xiao Bai said.
"And Dark Demon Evil Tiger has the blood of the Evil God. These two are no simple beings!"
"If the boss chooses based on combat strength, I think Dark Demon Evil Tiger is stronger! In the same realm, if Dark Demon Evil Tiger uses the Reverse Space, Empire Tian would be in trouble!"
"Even without that move, Dark Demon Evil Tiger's power feels stronger than Empire Tian's. His combat power is terrifying even in human form!"
Indeed, in terms of strength, Dark Demon Evil Tiger seemed to surpass Empire Tian.
From this perspective, Dark Demon Evil Tiger had a higher chance of receiving the god king level position.
Now, everyone was waiting for Ye Wen to announce the final decision.
Ye Wen didn't hesitate and directly announced, "Empire Tian, I will assign you the god king level position. Dark Demon Evil Tiger, I grant you the first-level god position."
"What! Empire Tian... this...!!"
When Ye Wen made this announcement, many were surprised. At least two-thirds of the group thought Dark Demon Evil Tiger would have a higher chance of receiving the god king level position, but the result was Empire Tian.
"Hehe, this is how it should be. The god king level position is only fit for Empire Tian," said the Ten Thousand Demon King, happy for Empire Tian.
"Alright, alright, you think Empire Tian deserves it?"
"Why Empire Tian? I think Dark Demon Evil Tiger should have gotten the god king position!!" Ice Bear King roared.
"Empire Tian got the god king position because of the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yue's face! That's the only reason!"
