The Demon God King's son-in-law
CHAPTER 212 | Sacred Priest of Golden Phoenix Sect
The Holy Priest beat the assailants one by one to resuscitate them. His palm emitted a godly energy that made the assailants fall down in one hit as it was touched by the Holy Priest's footprint.
“Strength of Gods?” Shen Long's eyes narrowed slightly seeing the Sacred Priestess extracting god energy from her palm.
All of the assailants were knocked unconscious by the touch of the Holy Priest's palm but were not killed due to the divine energy that the Holy Priestess released just to awaken their consciousness controlled by the sound of the whistle earlier.
Some of the assailants were already conscious again in a daze knowing themselves to be at the top of the Phoenix mountain where the Golden Phoenix sect residence was.
“Let them rest. Keep an eye on them all” the Holy Priestess ordered on her sect members.
The Holy Priestess then floated back to the door of the main hall to meet Shen Long
“Master, let's talk inside” continued the Holy Priest
Shen Long then followed the Holy Priest into the main hall of the sect followed by Ming Qui and Guo Rong.
“Prime, what has happened?” shen Long asked him.
The woman who became the Holy Priestess smiled at Shen Long, but her face seemed a little anxious about the current situation.
“Master, the Western Empire has invaded the Northern Empire and destroyed it” said the Holy Priest with a lowered face
“What?” Ming Qui's eyes twitched he thought of his family and the Weapon Refining sect.
“How about my family?” ming Qui asked worriedly
“I do not know for sure the situation in the Northern Empire, while in the Western Empire itself there is chaos as you can see” said the Holy Priest back
Ming Qui's body trembled, his heart deeply anxious for his family.
“Your Highness, I beg you to return to the Northern Empire to see the state of my family” Ming Qui request permission from Shen Long
“Go” said Shen Long who was also anxious after hearing the explanation from the Holy Priestess
“Sister, can I go with Ming Qui?” asked Guo Rong who was worried about Ming Qui
“Go. You accompany him” Shen Long said
After bidding farewell, Ming Qui and Guo Rong then went to the Northern Empire region to find out the state of his Weapon Refining sect family.
When only the Holy Priestess and Shen Long remained in the main hall, the Sacred Priestess then knelt before Shen Long
“Your Majesty, forgive me for not welcoming you” said the Holy Priest
“How do you know me?” asked Shen Long who was surprised to see the attitude of the Sacred Priest
“My past life was a god of the sky world in charge of overseeing the human world. At the time of this second reincarnation, I was still able to find out information from the celestial world including the succession of the Celestial Emperor, said the Holy Priest
“So you were once a god. Why can you reincarnate into a human?” shen Long asked.
According to the information once obtained from the Great Priestess, the age of the gods was very long. The moment they died would be reincarnated in the celestial world again. He had just learned that a god could be reincarnated into a human.
“What does Karma circle mean?” ask Shen Long back
“The Karma cycle is the result of all deeds done and forming or changing the destiny and fate that do those deeds and can have an impact on destiny and other related fates. All are bound by this karmic circle including the deities” said the Holy Priest
“Changing the soil by planting rice will produce rice, not corn. But turning land into rice fields is related to weeds, pest animals including birds and even humans themselves” continued the Holy Priest gave a parable.
“When I was in charge of becoming the superintendent god of the human world, I became too close to humans. The Rules of Heaven forbid the gods of the celestial world to interfere with the destiny and fate of humans, yet I broke it several times” the Holy Priestess said sadly.
“When people need help I help them, when they fight I pass it. Even I also killed the villain of the human itself that made me interfere many times in the destiny and fate of mankind” he continued
“Langit finally punished me for reincarnating into a human, feeling the fate and destiny as a human from birth to death during 9 times reincarnation”
Shen Long's face slightly shrunk when he heard that. He did not expect the rules of Heaven to be so firm even to the gods.
“Princess Shui was also a watchdog god who was also in charge of capturing the demon god Mo Luo. He once intervened in His Majesty's destiny and fate, so he is currently bound by his destiny with you” the Holy Priestess said next
“The task of the god of the sky world is to just supervise, give advice to humans, but must not interfere to change the fate and destiny of humans” he continued
“If only the Northern Emperor had not been killed, then the Northern Empire would not have been conquered so quickly by the Western Empire and this chaos would not have happened so soon
Shen Long's eyes twitched hearing that. So this incident was caused by himself killing the Northern Emperor back then.
“All are interconnected, Your Majesty. The Western and Northern empires would indeed be wiped out but not at this time. The Devils of Hell only speed up the process of happening”
“The Weapon Refining Sect was indeed destined to be wiped out ever since they stole the Demon Heirloom Book belonging to the Demon God Emperor back then. However His Majesty has saved Ming Qui and changed his fate and destiny”
“Do the gods have to keep silent to see the demons mess up the world?” asked Shen Long who did not understand.
“Your Majesty, the gods are only allowed to intervene when facing the demons directly” said the Holy Priest.
“What does it mean?” Shen Long had yet to understand the Holy Priestess' explanation
“Man is born to have heart and mind. They have the freedom to choose the path of their own destiny and fate”
“When their hearts are affected by the nature of the devil, the gods must not mix it, therefore the choice of man himself. So humans kill between humans, it's a choice over their fate and destiny each”
“So you were punished by the sky for interfering with it?” ask Shen Long back
“Really His Majesty. The gods are only allowed to interfere in the underworld and fight against the demon race of hell that is impossible to be faced by humans
Shen Long nodded beginning to understand bit by bit about the rules of the sky.
“This chaos is definitely caused by the demons of the hell realm. The gods should seek the cause of these demons. Making changes in human destiny and fate will only affect the change of destiny and the next fate”
“But these demons are very cunning. They will not easily appear to them” continued the Holy Priest
Hearing that, Shen Long called the Great Priest to ask the reports of the supervising gods who were in charge of searching for the whereabouts of these hidden Devils.
