"One, two, three, four, five …"
Kua E and the other divine Gods were lined up on the square outside the Divine Sleeping Palace. Xiang Liu showed his teeth, looking at them with an evil smile on his face.
Transparent coffins drifted out from the palace one after another. Every coffin had a black divine spell symbol stuck on it. Streams of black cold air coiled around the coffins like strange boas, while pieces of frost condensed into twisted spell symbols on the surface of the coffins, isolating all the powers inside and outside of the coffins.
The looks of Kua E, Qiang Liang and the other divine Gods changed over and over again. They stared at the divine Gods in the coffins, stunned. Every coffin represented one of them — Their father or mother!
Xiang Liu was still counting slowly, while those Gong Gong Family warriors pushed out coffins one after another while laughing. At last, a coffin of their loved ones floated in front of every divine God, including Kua E and the other Gong Gong Family warriors.
If the divine Gods in these coffins had already died, Kua E and the other divine Gods wouldn't have such a strong reaction. To divine Gods, they were born in the world. Therefore, it was perfectly normal for them to return to the world after they died.
However, the divine Gods in those coffins were still alive, and they were their family members. Through a thick layer of divine crystal and the protective spell symbols created by Gong Gong himself, Kua E and the other divine Gods could see their family members breathing slightly in those coffins. Their chests had been rising and falling slightly, and they could even hear their heartbeats.
The original batch of divine Gods were the creations of nature. They didn't have bodies, but they had immortal lives. They were the most primitive and also the most powerful group of gods. They were the ancestors of all the gods in the world.
As time flew, divine Gods gradually gained bodies, and the ability to reproduce and reproduce, just like human beings. The descendants of divine Gods were naturally divine Gods as well. These postnatal divine Gods were also powerful, and had long lives.
Basically, even postnatal divine Gods didn't need to worry about their lifespan, unless they wanted to die. At least, before the ancient heaven fell, no divine God ever died of old age because of reaching the limit of his or her lifespan.
However, the non-humankind invaded Pan Gu world, and the ancient heaven started a series of wars against the non-humankind. Countless ancient gods fell from the heaven, and after the heaven fell, the lifespans of divine Gods shortened speedily. Generation after generation, the lifespans of divine Gods became shorter and shorter.
After the fall of the Heavenly Court, the Divine Sleeping Palace was the last hope of those newly born gods. When they didn't have much time left to live, they sealed themselves in the Divine Sleeping Palace, nourishing themselves with the power of heaven and earth, hoping that one day, the heaven would return to its peak, and they would regain the glory of their ancestors and have an endless life.
Kua E and Qiang Liang all believed that the heaven would be restored one day, and their fathers, mothers, grandfathers, and ancestors, who had been sleeping in the coffins, would finally regain their youthfulness, and they would be able to live happily together forever!
If it wasn't for the last glimmer of hope in their hearts, these powerful divine gods, who loved to eat and drink, would they obediently obey the agreement and the teachings of their ancestors, staying in the withered heaven and never going out?
But now, their families were right in front of them. Their fathers and mothers were right in front of them.
Gong Gong slowly walked out of the Divine Sleeping Palace. Looking at these coffins, he said blandly, "What a bunch of stubborn old creatures. My father, my grandfather, my great-grandfather, all generations of Gong Gongs … Hehe, some of them disappeared, but some of them died because their lives were exhausted. "
"But you … You homeless dogs, you idiots who still yearn for the glory of the ancient time. You've actually found a way to steal the fortune of heaven."
"You sealed yourselves, trying to wait until the day when the heaven rises again, so that you can regain your inexhaustible lifespans!"
Gong Gong abruptly burst with a resonant growl and threw a palm strike on a coffin.
The coffin, which was made from colorful divine crystals, was shattered by Gong Gong's palm strike. Thumb-sized divine crystal pieces tinkled on the glowing floor. The divine god lying in the coffin had a dragon head and a human body, with weirdly shaped golden bones on his shoulders. He looked fierce and strong, but in a deep sleep, he couldn't fight back at all. Gong Gong smashed his head with a single palm strike.
Followed by a shrill howl, the divine god kneeling in front of this coffin popped out his eyes and screamed, "Abba!", then rolled his eyes and fainted.
In the coffin, the divine god's body twitched intensely. His head was smashed, and his soul was destroyed by Gong Gong. His body began burning slowly from his neck. The seven-colored flame glowed brightly. His body was burned, and streams of extremely strong natural powers transformed into hurricanes, roaring out from the divine flame.
Divine gods were generated from natural powers, and they were the aggregations of the great Dao of nature. The more powerful a divine god was, the greater the natural powers contained in his body.
The divine god's body was set ablaze, and surging natural powers surged out. Soon, the surrounding natural powers became incomparably rich, wrapping everyone up like water, gently rippling.
"Such a good thing, but you didn't tell me!" Gong Gong sighed slightly and said blandly, "You should have told our Gong Gong Family, you should have … You had to tell us. Otherwise, my Abba and my grandfather might be lying in their coffins right now."
"But you didn't!" Gong Gong sighed again, then smashed the other seven coffins with a single punch. Even the souls of the divine gods sleeping in those coffins were destroyed by him.
The few divine gods kneeling on the ground screamed in pain, then fainted as well. Their father was killed by Gong Gong right in front of their faces. Souls of divine gods couldn't reincarnate after they died. Once they died, all their lives would be over, and no trace of their existence would be left.
"What on earth do you want?" Kua E screamed out hoarsely, "You've already controlled the heaven! Except for those forbidden areas that we can't even approach, over ninety percent of the heaven is under your control! What else do you want? "
"Who's the gatekeeper?" Gong Gong looked at Kua E's twisted face and asked word by word, "Who's the gatekeeper?"
All divine gods stared at Gong Gong in shock. Their bodies were frozen, and they couldn't say a single word.
"You … You shouldn't know!" Kua E's body swayed slightly, and he nearly fainted.
"But I know … Who's the gatekeeper? Stand out and listen to me! "Gong Gong shouted harshly," Listen to me, and they can all live! Otherwise, I will kill everyone in the Divine Sleeping Palace! All of your ancestors must die! "
After a moment of silence, a petite deity, whose body was covered with fine silver hair, said in a trembling voice, "I … I am this generation's … gatekeeper!"
