Chapter 1224: True God Awakens
The spider statue that held the god prison was shaking violently. A total of thirty-three golden pillars of light had shot up from within it, bringing with them intense mutagen and the pressure of the gods. This was the Heavenless Zone, where there was no immortal energy. As such, there was nothing to stop the mutagen from spreading rapidly. At the same time, godly fluctuations began to spread from inside the statue. Everything was devolving into chaos.
Xu Qing’s expression was calm, and his voice was as cold as a winter wind blowing from the Nine Serenities underworld. It filled the god prison and echoed in the starry sky, instantly calming the hearts of the prison guards and the wardens.
The wardens didn’t care what Xu Qing had been up to. Right now, his calm demeanor filled them with hope. Without any hesitation, they strode forth, bowed to Xu Qing, and handed over their jade slips, which gave them authority over the prison. They were obviously fine with him taking over.
Xu Qing wasn’t one to waste words. He took the jade slips, then took control of the prison, activating all of the spell formations and sealing marks inside. Then he looked at the wardens.
“Is there a True God imprisoned here?” he asked them.
Before the sudden development, they wouldn’t have given him an answer. But now they didn’t hesitate to offer a full explanation.
“There’s a desiccated corpse that’s being purified....”
“It’s the statue’s true form....”
Xu Qing’s gaze sharpened as he looked at the statue. The statue had attracted his attention when they arrived, and having heard what the wardens just said, he changed his mind about going inside. He immediately issued new orders.
“The two of you go report this matter to the heavens beyond heaven. Position guards at all the exits. Don’t let any gods out!
“Kelp plant, you suppress that god light. Send your roots into the prison to help them keep the gods under control. And have your true form contain the statue. You’re our second line of defense.
“Zhou Zhengli, you go into the prison. Have all the fellow daoists in there get the gods under control and also find out what started the rebellion. You should all be fine as long as you don’t run into a True God.
