Chapter 954 Desert Oasis (1)
Everything that happened to the high priest shocked everyone in the temple, but soon they realized that they could use their best defensive magic to protect themselves, and looked around vigilantly, including the surrounding tribes, who were all vigilant.
No wonder these pure blood gods reacted like this, mainly because the scene just now was too unexpected.
Although the high priest of the Sun God Cult is not very high due to his own bloodline, this does not mean that his strength is inferior. On the contrary, the fact that he can become the high priest of the Sun God Cult is enough to show that his strength is at least a true god. In this temple, there are definitely no more than ten gods who can surpass the high priest. However, such a powerful existence was silently killed in front of so many powerful gods. This made the gods in the temple all think that there was a powerful existence lurking in the temple and sneak attacking. The movements that appeared in the temple before were also caused by the powerful existence when he wanted to steal the scepter of the God King.
However, when most gods cast spells to guard against possible attacks, several gods standing in the forefront, led by Nutum, never moved. These gods are the strongest beings in the temple. Judging from the degree of the eagle head solidification, their strength is almost the same as Nutum. They have strong confidence in their own strength. They ask themselves that there is no powerful existence that can deceive their perceptions, and they kill a true god so easily. Since the high priest was not killed by external forces, the only possibility is that the high priest touched the real power contained in the scepter of the God King when he was performing the ritual, and was killed by him by backlash.
Thinking of this, the eyes of these gods looking at the scepter of the God King became different. If Nutum was not standing here at this time, it would be said that these gods had already snatched it. Nutum, who was standing at the forefront of the gods, showed no better expression than those gods. He was full of greed, and he wanted to step forward and hold the scepter in his hand forever.
The God King Scepter is the most complete treasure inherited by the Nine Pillar God from ancient times. Moreover, this treasure once turned the tide when the Nine Pillar God Clan was on the verge of extinction, allowing its bloodline to continue, and finally achieved the current Nine Pillar God Clan. Because of this, this treasure has an extremely special status in the Nine Pillar God Clan, so that the past name of the Scepter was gradually forgotten. All the members of the Nine Pillar God Clan only know that this is called the God King Scepter.
Although the power displayed by the legendary God King's Scepter is enough to shock the world and can easily kill thousands of gods, in the countless years that followed, the God King's Scepter never showed any power. The god kings of all dynasties only regarded it as a symbol and did not regard it as a truly useful artifact. Later, a nine-pillar God King thought that this thing was in trouble and his shape was not pleasing to him, so he simply found a reason to put it in the holy city and worshipped it until today.
Because the legends related to the power of the God King's Scepter are accurate. Therefore, there were many Nine Pillar Gods trying to unravel the secrets of the power of the God King's Scepter. Unfortunately, after trying various methods, there was nothing useful except for the result of the special material of this scepter that will never be damaged forever.
However, now the God King's Scepter once again showed the power it possessed to the Nine Pillar Gods. Whether it was the light and sun illusion that appeared at the beginning, or the silent killing of a true god, it was enough to create a huge shock to anyone's psychology.
Everyone has ambitions, whether it is human or god, Nutum, who has always been considered content with the status quo, is no exception. It is just because he has a talented and talented brother above, which makes his ambitions tightly suppressed deep in his heart, and there has never been any chance of being revealed.
But now, the appearance of the God King's Scepter is like a catalyst, causing the ambition deep in Nutum's heart to emerge like a germinated seed, and it slightly pushed away the obstacles formed by fear, reason and other emotions, which directly affected his state of mind. He witnessed the power of the God King's Scepter with his own eyes and personalities, allowing him to estimate how strong he would have reached if he could hold this treasure. Not to mention the brother Sun God An who always pressed on his head, even Zeus, the strongest god king of the pure blood clan, may not be able to match him.
Thinking of this, Nutum's body walked forward uncontrollably, and driven by his mind, he reached out and grabbed the scepter of the God King.
"Nutum, what do you want to do?" At this time, a hawk-headed god with a divine fire level comparable to that behind Nutum suddenly asked. This god was a loyal confidant of the Sun God An. He could see how the impact this God King scepter would have, and he could also see the ambition and greed in Nutum's eyes. So he immediately said with a warning: "Don't forget that the God King scepter can only be held by the God King, and you are not until how to use this scepter. If you contact it so rashly, aren't you afraid of becoming the second high priest?"
The words of this god were like a basin of cold water that woke Nutum from greed, and at the same time, it also extinguished the fire of his ambition, allowing him to consider the problem rationally.
As the god said, how to use this God King scepter, how to stimulate the power contained in it, and so on, is still an unsolved mystery. It is absolutely impossible to solve it with Nutum alone. Before using the God King scepter, this treasure is a useless thing, and this useless thing may hurt the holder. Judging from the situation just now, Nutum is not sure that he can survive the attack of the backlash power.
More importantly, that is, as the elder brother, the sun god An will never give Nutum any time or opportunity to unlock the secrets in the scepter of the God King, and then threaten his status.
Nutum knew very well that his brother was cold by nature and would never allow anyone to resist his will and become the Sun God An. After abandoning his previous surname, this personality became even more serious. If we were to talk about the most cruel god kings in the Nine Pillar God Clan, then the current god king was well deserved. It is precisely because of this cruel and iron-blooded personality that the current god king has become one of the greatest god kings in control of real power, and the Nine Pillar God Clan was able to be on an equal footing with the Olympus god clan.
As the younger brother of Sun God An, although Nutum's status is very high in the clan because of this relationship and has great power, he knows better that in Sun God An's heart, he is not a brother with the same bloodline as the same, but just a chess piece that can be used. If he does anything disobedient, he will be executed like other gods, and Sun God An will not hesitate to make such a decision.
Nutum, who woke up, did not show any panic expression, nor did he take his hand back, but continued to step forward and hold the scepter in his hand, then turned around and looked at the eagle-headed god calmly, saying, "It's too dangerous to put this divine object here now. If you lose it, I can't bear it. I must immediately take it into the treasure house of the gods." As he said, his aura suddenly burst out, and he bit the same person who questioned him and said, "What? Do you have any objections to my decision? Or do you think you have the chance to take action if you put it here?"
"Nutum, don't talk nonsense, I don't mean that!" The eagle-headed god bitten back showed a look of panic in his eyes, and he hurriedly cleared his eyes.
"Do you have that meaning? I'm not interested in it." Nutum easily cleared his mistakes just now, and had no intention of continuing to entangle. The strength of the counter-biting force was enough, and no force would have been applied. Instead, it might be a big deal. So he deliberately made a vague statement and walked out of the temple without waiting for the other party to continue to explain.
After arriving outside, Nutum attracted the ancient giant spirit guarding the treasure house of the gods under the eyes of the gods, and handed him the scepter of the God King in his hand without any nostalgia.
Everyone present knew that this ancient giant was the most loyal subordinate of the sun god An. It was precisely because of his loyalty and strength that An could be assured to hand over the most important treasure house of the gods to him for custody.
After taking over the scepter of the God King, the ancient giant returned to the treasure house in the pyramid temple below, leaving no nonsense. After sending the God King Staff away, Nutum also breathed a sigh of relief. Then, in order to show his importance to the God King Staff, he transferred a divine guard from outside the city to specifically guard the temple, and set the temple as a forbidden area. At the same time, he ordered his followers to pass the news about the God King Staff to the Sun God An, who is in the core of the Holy Ruins.
Nutum's arrangement can be said to be completely clear, making people unable to find any mistakes. Even those who are hostile to it cannot find any mistakes. Moreover, as the scepter is in the warehouse, all the strange distractions in the minds of the gods subsided, and a storm that might have caused the turmoil of the gods subsided. However, it is unknown whether it will be completely calmed down or become an undercurrent, but the gods present knew that it would be difficult for the Nine Pillar Gods to calm down. Not to mention the impact within the Gods, other pure blood gods outside would never want to see the Nine Pillar Gods successfully master such a divine object that can control the overall situation.
Xu Changqing knew nothing about the commotion in the Nine Pillar Holy City thousands of miles away, but he knew that someone was secretly spying on his whereabouts just now.
Before nightfall, Xu Changqing found an oasis for a while and expected to take a break tomorrow to reach the Vedic Temple. However, just as he had just changed his aura of imitating divine power and was about to consider how to treat the Brahmin guardian beasts entrenched in the temple tomorrow, he sensed that someone was secretly peeking at him, and at the same time with the snooper, there was a power similar to the Golden Crow Divine Fire, which resonated with the Golden Crow Divine Fire of the Golden Immortal body through the dragon beast clone.
