567 The Demons’ Scheme
After the news spread, the higher-ups of the major forces learned about the incident in Country Xu. At the same time, a woman in blue also received information about Lin Qiye.
She was Zhao Yan, who had come from the Heavenly God Palace to investigate Wan Meng’s whereabouts.
The Heavenly God Palace had been monitoring the existence of many suspected “antidotes,” including Lin Qiye.
She was the main person in charge of Lin Qiye. Her sister, Zhao Yu, and the fat monk had been sent out to monitor Lin Qiye.
It was because Lin Qiye’s various performances were too outstanding, and he was an outsider.
Therefore, the three of them were certain Lin Qiye was the “antidote.”
Hence, Zhao Yan reported her speculations to the higher-ups of the Heavenly God Palace. However, the reply she received was to continue monitoring. After that, there was no more news.
It was only when the demon nest appeared in Shang Empire that Zhao Yan began to worry she would miss the time of the prophecy. In addition, she had no way of contacting the three high-level deities of the Heavenly God Palace.
Therefore, she decided to let the fat monk bring Wan Meng to Lin Qiye for verification.
With the strength of the fat monk at the initial stage of the Earth Immortal Realm, even if he encountered danger in the secular world, he should have been able to send back information in time.
However, not long after he left with Wan Meng, he completely lost contact with her.
Because Wan Meng was a divine weapon and had the protection left behind by the three high gods, Zhao Yan, who was only an early-stage Human Immortal, could not sense its location.
This time, she said that she had come to find the “antidote,” but in reality, she was looking for Wan Meng.
Zhao Yan had come to Tata Village intending to see Lin Qiye’s changes.
In the end, Lin Qiye wasn’t in the village and had caused a huge commotion in Country Xu.
She immediately found Lonemoon and the others closer to Lin Qiye to understand the situation.
“You’re saying that a little girl came to look for him before?”
“Yes, she is now accompanying our Lord to Country Xu. She won’t be back for the time being.”
In the backyard of the City God Temple, when Lonemoon and the rest first saw Zhao Yan, they were on guard.
When she found out Zhao Yan was from the Heavenly God Palace and had no ill intentions, she told her about Lin Qiye and Wan Meng.
Zhao Yan was overjoyed.
She didn’t expect that after so many twists and turns, Wan Meng would still acknowledge Lin Qiye as her master and walk on the path of the prophecy.
Although she was a little curious about how Wan Meng had come here, it was a waste of time to ask Lonemoon and the others.
Therefore, she didn’t stay any longer and turned around to go to Country Xu.
This matter was of great importance, and she had to confirm it personally.
At the same time, Lin Qiye was currently in the capital of Country Xu, listening to the flattery of the upper echelons in the palace.
“Lord Holy Infant is really unrivaled. The crisis of Country Xu is resolved all thanks to your power!”
“That’s right. To be able to destroy the entire demon nest so easily, Lord Holy Infant is truly an exceptional hero!”
Lin Qiye was not too interested in these flatteries.
He didn’t follow them to the capital to hear their tasteless words.
After everyone was done praising him, the Queen raised her hand and suppressed everyone’s voices.
She glanced at the ministers in the hall and more than seventy powerhouses at the Human Immortal Realm.
“This time, Country Xu has been in trouble. We are indebted to Lord Holy Infant’s pity for allowing our country to escape this crisis. Therefore…”
At this point, the Queen looked around, and everyone was focused on what she would say next.
The Queen suddenly turned to look at Lin Qiye and said with respect and sincerity, “I’ve decided to worship Lord Holy Infant as the God of Country Xu!”
As soon as these words fell, the hall immediately boiled.
Everyone was shocked.
The God of an empire was an existence that stood above all faith.
This belief even surpassed that of royal authority!
However, no one present dared to raise any objections despite their shock.
The ministers were worried their full power would be deprived and transferred, but when they saw the big shots around them didn’t interrupt, they didn’t dare to court death.
As a person with vested interests, Lin Qiye thought, ‘It’s finally here.’
He had come to help Country Xu because he wanted to add another line of defense to his territory. Second, he wanted to use the country’s power to gather more resources and try to break through again.
However, he didn’t expect that the Queen’s way of thanking him wasn’t by promising him any treasures but by acknowledging him as the God of Country Xu.
It was a pleasant surprise for Lin Qiye.
After all, to become the highest belief of an empire, wouldn’t it be easy to open his mouth and get what he needed?
He didn’t bother with formalities and responded to the Queen with a smile.
Seeing that he didn’t refuse, the Queen couldn’t help but feel happy.
“Lord Holy Infant, do you agree?”
In the prophecy of the world-ending catastrophe, the Queen knew that the demon nest was merely an insignificant vanguard.
They would have to face an even more terrifying calamity.
At that time, how could they survive the catastrophe with their little combat power?
Therefore, it was a blessing for Country Xu to recruit Lin Qiye as a consecrator and obtain his protection.
Lin Qiye nodded.
“We’re all a part of the human race. Now that we are in trouble, how can I just sit by and watch? Since you’re willing to serve me, I’ll naturally protect you.”
After getting a promise, the Queen and the Immortal Realm experts were ecstatic.
With the protection of such a bigwig, even if they were to face an even more powerful army of demons in the future, they would have a higher chance of survival.
“That’s great!”
“Immediately give the order to build temples in all the towns. From now on, Lord Holy Infant will be the only God that Country Xu believes in!”
