"Boss, have you met the four Pillar Gods before?"
"I haven't, I don't like dealing with Divinities"
Seemingly feeling embarrassed, Boss continued: "Ten thousand years ago, when I found out that the four Pillar Gods had arrived at Calming Soul Country, I no longer cared about this place"
"After all, I have too many places to protect, like the bottom of the Abyss, the Starlight Empire, the Isle of Air, etc, I'm too busy"
Gu Qing Shan nodded in understanding, but didn't ask Boss about his identity.
The airship slowly landed in front of a towering palace that reached the clouds.
This was the most central area of Calming Soul Country, the center of the entire city.
The airship was put away by Lola.
The four of them stood at the entrance of the palace.
Several squads of guards were already waiting here.
Two women wearing luxurious robes came forward and bowed to Boss.
"Esteemed Lord of Infinite Origins, please bring your people and come with us to meet the Pillar Water God"
Water God!
Gu Qing Shan's heart skipped a beat, but she also felt that something wasn't right.
If she really was Water God, she would definitely recognize me.
Most likely, as soon as the airship appeared, she would come looking for me.
Then, could this be the real Water God?
Boss was a bit surprised and asked: "What is it, the Divinities want to meet us in person?"
"Indeed" one of the women smiled and replied: "After all, since the Age of Old, no outsider has ever entered our world. Today is the first time, so the Divinities are paying attention"
Boss nodded.
This was within reason.
As he was about to step forward, Gu Qing Shan sent her voice to him through inner sight.
Boss stopped and smiled: "I wonder if the other three Pillar Gods will come as well?"
The two women bowed again and lowered their heads: "Besides Water God, the other three Divinities have yet to announce their decision, so we don't dare to speculate about the Divinities"
Seeing their fearful expressions, they didn't dare to say anything else.
Boss didn't want to ask anything else and simply said: "Lead the way"
"Yes"
The two women led the group into the palace.
After going through multiple corridors and stairs, they arrived at the main hall of the palace.
Nearly a hundred Divine Descendants of different identities had already gathered here.
Gu Qing Shan released her spiritual will to size them up one by one.
Sitting on the far left was a man with a crown on his head. He looked gentle and seemed to be the master of this palace.
However, there was no one around him. Instead, he was left at the edge.
On his right were some people with powerful auras. These people were very strong. Gu Qing Shan even saw the general who had fought against the masked man earlier.
Closer to the center were twelve white-haired old men.
This was probably the Elder Council.
The soul force fluctuations on their bodies were even more low-key and obscure than those generals.
However, be it in terms of strength, authority, or status in Calming Soul Country, the general could not compare to them.
In the middle of all these people, there was a throne floating in mid-air.
A veiled woman sat on the throne, holding a black book in her hand.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't see her face clearly because of a veil with strange fluctuations.
However, there was one distinctive feature that could be clearly seen even though it was covered by the veil.
There was a blue flame of light between her eyebrows that was constantly burning and pulsating.
Unlike the Divinities who pretended to be Gods, Gu Qing Shan could clearly sense the immense Soul Points she exuded.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan was a bit disappointed.
She wasn't the large-scale war system of humanity that Gu Qing Shan once saw in the Age of Old, Water God.
Although her face couldn't be seen, from how she was surrounded and protected by everyone, she was definitely the Water Pillar God.
The black book in her hand was the famous [Book of the Seabed]. According to ancient legends and historical records, this book was capable of recording all knowledge of the world.
Gu Qing Shan's group stood still in the middle of the hall.
The Water Pillar God waved her hand to unleash a deep blue light.
The light descended and enveloped Gu Qing Shan's group.
Water God's gentle voice resounded:
「 Apostles who came from afar, as well as the guests you brought with you, you've worked hard 」
Boss slightly bowed: "I am only following the oath of the past, it's nothing much"
Water God smiled, her gaze swept past Ye Fei Li, Jang Young-ho, and finally stopped on Gu Qing Shan and Lola.
「 Human male, can you tell me, who exactly is the entity that protected your identity? 」
Gu Qing Shan mimicked Boss's posture and bowed: "My apologies, I personally don't know anything about this"
Water God turned to the council of Elders.
An old man from the council of Elders respectfully spoke: 「 Venerable Deity, I can sense that he is carrying a certain great entity's identity protection technique, but I do not know who it is 」
「 Seems like that is still a secret 」
Saying so, Water God didn't linger on this topic any longer and turned her gaze to Lola.
「 Human male, the girl next to you, is she your younger sister? 」 Water God asked again.
"Indeed, she is my younger sister" Gu Qing Shan replied.
「 But why do I notice that the two of you aren't of the same race? 」 Water God asked again.
Gu Qing Shan paused.
Indeed, I'm a human male, while Lola's race is a Bramble Bird.
In front of powerful entities, the difference between races can be easily seen through at a glance.
If Water God directly pointed this out, doesn't that mean that Gu Qing Shan was lying before?
What would happen if one lied to a Deity …
The entire hall fell silent.
The atmosphere seemed to have changed.
Lola became nervous and couldn't help but glance at Gu Qing Shan.
She didn't see any expression on Gu Qing Shan's face.
One breath's worth of time later.
Gu Qing Shan replied.
He lowered his head, muttering with an embarrassed tone: "Who would've thought that you'd find out about this. This is actually an extremely secretive secret, but because of your question, I had no choice but to tell you this with the most sincere attitude possible"
Everyone held their breaths as they looked at him.
Gu Qing Shan cleared her throat and said: "My younger sister and I are half-siblings from the same father but different mothers"
Water God's smile froze.
The elder council and the others were also a bit surprised.
Ye Fei Li couldn't help but look at him.
Could it be true?
He silently thought.
Jang Young-ho's expression didn't change at all.
Ever since he entered this place, he had already put on a pair of sunglasses, silently observing everyone in front of him.
Gu Qing Shan's words didn't affect him at all.
But Lola was different.
Hearing Gu Qing Shan, she opened her eyes wide and her mouth slightly opened.
You can do that?
This guy really is shameless when it comes to lying.
However, as the Queen Of Thorns, Lola had already trained her mind to be sharp, so she knew that Gu Qing Shan wouldn't speak without thinking.
What is he being cautious about?
Lola's heart began to beat faster.
Water God didn't look at them anymore and asked the elder council: "After countless years, this is the first time Calming Soul Country has new blood joining us. Discuss this and see what arrangements we should make"
"Understood"
The elder council replied, then began to discuss the arrangements for everyone.
In front of them, Gu Qing Shan's group could only silently wait for the result.
Using this time, Boss released his mental power to silently communicate with Gu Qing Shan:
"What are you thinking about?"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "Something's wrong, you and I need to be careful"
"What's going on?" Boss couldn't help but ask.
"This Water God asked about my background as soon as we arrived, clearly hostile towards me"
"… Just because of a single question from her, you're thinking that she's hostile?"
"That's secondary, the most important thing is that the two female receptionists I told you to ask earlier gave me a warning"
Boss recalled a bit and couldn't help but say: "They only said one thing: Other than Water God, the other three Divinities had not announced this, so they didn't dare to make any guesses about the Divinities"
"Indeed"
"Is there a problem with that?"
"Indeed, their words implied that the other three Pillar Gods are here, but I know that isn't the case"
Gu Qing Shan continued: "And don't you think that Water God is paying a bit too much attention to Lola?"
"… Perhaps you're just too worried about Lola?"
"That's not right. Perhaps you haven't seen the Four Pillar Gods before, but I clearly know how mighty the Four Pillar Gods are. As one of the Four Pillar Gods, her scouting methods are too inferior."
"You mean her"
"Indeed, she isn't one of the four Pillar Gods"
Gu Qing Shan replied.
His inner sight scanned through the Demis on the other side, as well as Water God.
The gourd Adorable was silently hovering in the air.
