......
It had been many days since they returned to the Divine Capital.
Li Xinghua's plan was already in progress. Countless divine guards had betrayed the Divine Capital, allowing Xuan Ge's faith to gain the upper hand. Li Yunzi had to bear the name of betraying the Divine Capital.
Originally, Li Yunzi's name in Xuan Ge God Capital was not legitimate.
Using Xuan Ge's Divine Capital as a springboard to attack Dubhe City was a mistake. Furthermore, not only was Xuan Ge not dead, he was in cahoots with Hua Chou. This made Li Yunzi's attack on Xuan Ge's Divine Capital very passive.
Li Xinghua knew that it was very difficult to protect these divine guards in a battle of gods. They were nothing more than sacrificial lambs in front of the Divine Capital.
Fortunately, Li Xinghua, as a prophet, could see more clearly when it came to political changes, wars, and religious upheavals. She used Xuan Ge's stubborn faith to drive away Li Yunzi's faith and left them a path to survival.
Everything was arranged appropriately. However, Li Yunzi did not have many loyal divine guards by her side.
This situation was not much different from when the divine guards were killed. Faced with this situation, the Shura Army and Ascetic Monk Army, who were in better condition, would definitely attack as scheduled!
......
Zhu Minglang felt a sharp pain in his heart as soon as he returned to his residence to rest.
Zhu Minglang realized that something was wrong and hastily checked his Spirit Domain. He discovered that the life force of the Rainbow Dragon with the Kun Peng bloodline was weakening.
It could not hold on any longer!
Even though the Spirit Domain was slowly healing its injuries, there were still some injuries that could not be healed. If it could not be treated, it would not live for more than a few days.
"Its soul is about to scatter," Mister Koi sighed.
If they could have saved the Rainbow Dragon earlier, there might have been hope.
Unfortunately, Li Xinghua did not foresee the Rainbow Dragon's fate. It was purely a coincidence that Zhu Minglang signed a contract with it.
"Is there any way, Mr. Koi?" Zhu Minglang asked anxiously.
"Its body is recovering in the Spirit Realm, but its life spirit is too weak. It needs the Kun Peng God Race's soul orb and the seven-colored soul cauldron to stabilize its soul. Only then can it survive. But you don't have enough time to kill the Kun Peng God Race," Mister Koi said.
Zhu Minglang felt a headache coming on.
Originally, the addition of a dragon with the Kun Peng bloodline was a joyous matter, but who would have thought that the Rainbow Sky Dragon's life would be so short.
Zhu Minglang went to the spring beside the god temple and soaked the Rainbow Dragon in the Healing Dragon Pond. The Rainbow Dragon did not have a trace of spirit. It lay in the Healing Dragon Pond like an old man whose time had come to an end. It was drowsy, but it forced itself not to fall asleep.
At this time, Zhu Minglang felt wisps of strange cold air. With the starlight of his Fu Chen God, Zhu Minglang saw imperceptible silhouettes. They had horns, short bodies, and ferocious faces.
Zhu Minglang was very puzzled. He immediately used his own Divine Sense to see clearly what these things that had appeared out of nowhere were.
It was a group of Soul Removal Ghosts!
Just like the Corpse Vultures, they waited for the Rainbow Sky Dragon to breathe its last and then began to eat its dragon meat.
The Soul Removal Ghosts were similar to these creatures, but they specialized in stealing the souls of those who had just died.
"The Rainbow Sky Dragon has a divine soul. It's easy for its soul to be taken away after it dies. These little ghosts are here to decompose its divine soul," Mister Koi said.
Zhu Minglang was a little angry. He ordered the Heaven Fiend Dragon to chase away these little ghosts who were taking advantage of the situation.
The Eternal Night had lasted for too long. These ghosts were bold enough to steal the souls of others so blatantly. They did not even show any respect to him, a righteous god.
A few of the little Soul Removal Ghosts were extremely arrogant. Zhu Minglang simply killed a few of them to prevent them from harassing him.
"Huuuuuu!"
The Soul Removal Ghosts screamed as they fled, as if they were warning Zhu Minglang something.
Zhu Minglang did not care about these little creatures. Even if the Soul Reaper showed up, Zhu Minglang would still beat them up!
"These little ghosts are most likely here for a routine inspection. The Soul Reaper will be here soon. If we can chase the Soul Reaper away, the Rainbow Sky Dragon will be able to hold on for a while longer," Koi said.
"What's a Soul Reaper?" Zhu Minglang asked with a confused look.
"I'm not too sure about the laws of the underworld, but as long as the gods are not killed by others, there will be a Soul Reaper that will guide your soul away when your time is up. After all, the presence of a god's soul will still have a great impact on the world. These Soul Reapers usually reside in the human world or among the gods."
"Similarly, the death of the Cang Spirits that have reached the level of gods will attract the Soul Reapers. These Soul Reapers are mostly Mythical Beasts, Dragon Gods, or Yin Immortals. They reside in the wild, or in the human world. For example, if a black cat sneaks into a yard late at night, people will say it's a bad omen, but the truth is, the black cat is most likely a Soul Reaper."
Mister Koi explained. Zhu Minglang only understood half of it.
The laws of the gods had always been vague, but they all had their own duties. As a result, the people had made up a lot of myths and legends based on their guesses and actual events.
"So, when the Soul Reaper comes for the Rainbow Sky Dragon, I'll chase it away to buy some time for the Rainbow Sky Dragon?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"Theoretically, it's possible. After all, the Rainbow Sky Dragon's soul is still unstable," said Mister Koi.
"Alright, I'll wait here!" Zhu Minglang made up his mind.
"I have to warn you, the Soul Reaper is on par with the Righteous Immortals. I'm not sure what the consequences will be if you do that. It might shorten your lifespan, or you might be punished by the gods, or even stripped of your godhood," said Mister Koi.
"It's fine, I'll take on the Soul Reaper first!" Zhu Minglang decided to go all out.
…
Under the Evernight World, the status of the Soul Reaper was higher than the Righteous Immortals. Under such an environment, their powers would be extraordinarily strong.
Zhu Minglang didn't go anywhere. He just waited in the pond on Clear Spring Mountain.
Even if he didn't open his divine sense, Zhu Minglang could still feel the strange wind blowing. It could be seen that there were many demons and ghosts coveting the Rainbow Sky Dragon's soul.
Zhu Minglang opened his eyes wide. He was very tired, but he didn't dare to sleep. He had already sent people to look for the Kun Peng God Race in the Northern Dipper Divine Prefecture. There should be news soon.
As long as the Rainbow Sky Dragon could hold on for a few more days, there was hope for its soul to be re-stabilized, and it would be completely revived.
The biggest problem now was the Soul Reaper.
He couldn't let it take away the Rainbow Sky Dragon's soul!
