Chapter 327: Chapter 284: Meeting Shan’en

Lipo returned to the Celestial Kingdom, heading to the Golden Hall to await the advent of a trial.

Soon, a majestic Lightning streaked across the starry sky.

Divine King Shan En entered the Golden Hall with the severely injured Fire God Ninur in one hand and the Thunder Spear in the other, his footsteps resounding loudly.

"Lipo... what exactly happened here?"

Divine King Shan En held Ninur, whose life force was nearly extinguished.

The commotion in the Great Country of Leboga eventually caught the attention of Divine King Shan En. By the time he turned his gaze there, all turmoil had subsided, leaving only the battered Fire God woefully returning to the Celestial Kingdom.

The Fire God Ninur returned from the Mortal World, wanting to retreat back to his star, but was intercepted by Divine King Shan En’s lightning. This Fourth Rank Divine, forcibly snatched from in front of his own star, was brought back to the Golden Hall.

"Great Divine King, I am willing to tell you everything I know."

Lipo knelt down, speaking with utmost respect.

In many races of the Mortal World, due to the development of civilization and social stratification, "honorific language" emerged between superiors and subordinates such as father and son, brother and sibling, teacher and pupil, ruler and subject. However, among Divine beings, such "honorific language" did not exist.

Divine King Shan En released Fire God Ninur, leaving him in the very center of the hall—the defendant’s stand—while Shan En ascended to the highest part of the hall and sat on his throne.

"Speak, Lipo, tell me what exactly happened."

Divine King Shan En waved his hand, signaling for Lipo to speak.

A surge of lightning occurred, and Shan En created a barrier that enveloped Lipo, ensuring that only Shan En could hear his words.

The Forest God Lipo did not hesitate; within the Golden Hall, he disclosed everything he had witnessed.

From King Seleucus, son of Fire God Ninur, seizing the throne, to his pursuit of eternal life and quest for extraordinary individuals on Earth; from the arrival of a witch in the forest, who used antlers to lure him into a meeting and plotted to thwart the punishment of the Fire God; from King Seleucus awakening from his dream of eternal life to Fire God Ninur descending to administer punishment, only to be severely injured by the witch of the forest...

Lipo recounted everything thoroughly, and the gaze of Divine King Shan En on the throne turned from initial confusion to a solemnity.

When Lipo mentioned the final words of the witch—"Only He is Divine"—whether it was Lipo’s illusion, he seemed to notice Divine King Shan En’s Thunder Spear shaking slightly.

What was the high-seated Shan En pondering in his heart?

Lipo didn’t know, and he dared not speculate further; it was not his place to wonder.

After a while, the Divine King Shan En seated on the throne spoke:

"Lipo, Fire God Ninur has violated the covenant of the Gods. In a few days, we will convene the Gods in the Golden Hall to judge Ninur’s wrongdoings."

Hearing this, Ninur in the center of the hall let out a pained moan, evidently foreseeing the judgment he would face.

Due to Shan En’s barrier earlier, Ninur had not heard Lipo’s account, and he wanted to say something, but his breath was nearly expended.

Facing Divine King Shan En on the throne, Lipo nodded emphatically, ready to speak in departure, but Shan En suddenly spoke:

"Lipo, concerning that witch and the matters behind her, I hope you do not explore or trace further. Restrain your curiosity, for even Divine beings have Taboos."

Shan En spoke calmly, but his words held an undeniable implication.

Lipo, briefly stunned, hastily nodded.

"Then, please leave this place."

............

Despite Divine King Shan En’s advice to Lipo, the mysterious witch still lingered in his mind.

In the flower garden behind the temple of Lipo, the spiritual deer bowed their heads to sip the rushing river water while Lipo sat on a massive stone, recalling every scene from that day.

It was just a beam of light that severely injured the once unconquerable Fire God Ninur.

It’s worth noting that even among the Fourth Rank Divine, Ninur was considered to possess the most vast Divine Power and was even thought to be closest to the Fifth Rank.

Lipo pondered over that beam of light, dazed.

If that light had not struck the Fire God but had fallen on him...

Lipo shuddered, not daring to think further.

Maidens carrying freshly picked wild fruits approached, riding on spiritual deer, emerging from the secret forest. Seeing the Forest God’s frown, they were puzzled.

"My lord, what worries you?"

One maiden inquired.

"No, it’s nothing."

Lipo, snapping back to reality, shook his head and said.

Just as the maidens handed him the wild fruits, he suddenly turned and asked:

"My servants, does any of you know which Divine would be the most knowledgeable about the ancient history?"

The maidens exchanged looks and, after some thought, began naming a few Divines.

However, the Divines they mentioned were either the Prophetic God Kagawus, Divine King Shan En, or the Curse God Yikabe... Lipo shook his head repeatedly.

He certainly wouldn’t be foolish enough to ask these Divines about the ancient history.

"My lord, why do you want to know about the ancient times?" a maiden asked, puzzled.

Lipo slowly descended from the stone platform and softly spoke:

"You do not need to know."

At that moment, one maiden stepped forward, appearing to have thought of something.

"My lord... your friend, God Hiris of the Mountains and Crafts, might know something."

Lipo paused, puzzled:

"Hiris?"

The maiden nodded, slowly saying:

"Yes, I’ve heard rumors that Hiris, in his quest to create the race of his vision, has sought out much knowledge, including many secret histories forgotten by other Divines."

The maiden’s words seemed to awaken the Forest God Lipo, who suddenly realized: Yes, Hiris might know something.

Years ago, Hiris had indeed asked him about the ’Father of the Divines’ while trying to create a race.

Perhaps this craftsman knew something.

Lipo instantly resolved to travel to the star of Death God Nakbet to visit the Mountain and Crafts God Hiris.

Since Hiris had helped Nakbet construct the Netherworld, he had settled there, occasionally making minor repairs while interacting with the mortals who arrived in the Netherworld.

It was said that Hiris would impart some ancient and secret knowledge to the mortals he deemed worthy.

Without delay, Lipo slowly exited his temple. He was going to visit Hiris and convey the terms like "law" and "lord" mentioned by the witch to that Mountain and Crafts God.
