Chapter 982: Chapter 636: Unborn Baby

According to Qiu Wentian’s explanation, Royal Power Divinity could forcefully command things within a certain range of oneself.

Of course, all within the bounds of ’what is possible.’ For instance, turning water into ice or causing the ground to rise were attainable, but turning an ordinary person into a giant of light was clearly not possible.

Otherwise, she would have used the divinity to change her own body.

At that time, on the Great Tang’s Ironclad Transport Ship, she had used her divinity to calm the sea surface, allowing her to safely approach the enemy ship and cut it in half with a single strike, turning the tide of the naval battle in favor of the Great Tang.

If during concealment, one were to use the traits of this kind of divinity, it might indeed be possible to escape the attention of the Three Corpses God.

"A domain of forceful command... it indeed carries the air of the First Emperor. With such divinity in battle, one can significantly restrict the enemy. Those who are weaker, unable to resist the divinity, have no power to fight back against Qiu Wentian," Li Changhe thought for a moment, then asked in [Friends]: "What’s the price?"

Before one reaches the level of a demigod, using divinity always comes with a price, large or small.

"Well, in the short term, the divinity will influence my personality, making me rather domineering," Qiu Wentian replied in [Friends]. "After all, it’s the power of that First Emperor, so such an effect is understandable. There won’t be any greater impact."

"In that case, Xiaoqiu, with her ability to hide her tracks, and I, with my power to suppress the Three Corpses, must be part of this strike force," Li Changhe spoke up and said to Li Kun and the others: "How should we arrange the rest of the manpower?"

The strike team could not be too large; at most four people.

The old temple must also keep some experts to attract the attention of the Three Corpses God.

Among them, Li Kun and the mute girl had to remain at the old temple. One was the strongest on the association’s side, and the other was the prime target of the Three Corpses God. They would have difficulty disguising themselves and were unlikely to escape the notice of the Three Corpses God.

After pondering for a moment, Li Kun responded: "Master Kongchan must continue to oversee the defense Array; among those present, only he, with his strongest physical Defense Force, and you are best suited to take on the responsibilities of the Array’s focal point. Secondly, Sword in Wine has injuries, and I also think it would be better for him to stay behind. Jiang Shenchui is in charge of controlling the puppets that will disguise you... All things considered, only Ghost Hand and the mute girl are suitable to deploy, but the mute girl is already the prime target of the Three Corpses God and is not fit for the strike."

"Therefore, I’ll go with you. I can cast earth travel spells, so if we encounter Arrays, I can lead you underground," Ghost Hand said in a low voice, leaning against the wall. "I just hope you old folks will take good care of the mute girl. Otherwise... I don’t know what I might do."

Upon these words, the faces of the Earth Level Extraordinaries changed slightly.

But no one spoke. Indeed, this was a threat.

Ghost Hand was always concerned about what the Three Corpses God had said. If it really came to a critical moment of life and death, someone might indeed do something drastic.

And Ghost Hand, who was already part of the strike team, could certainly do something even more terrifying...

The mute girl beside him had a worried and complicated expression on her face.

Her current status was very awkward, with the Three Corpses God explicitly stating an intent to kill her, and her friends and family risking their lives to protect her, which made her feel sad and helpless.

So, the mute girl made hand signals.

’I can act as bait. Since he wants to kill me, once I leave the old temple, he will surely have to divide some of his energy. This can make the operation more smooth,’ she signed.

True enough, the mere presence of the mute girl could distract a significant portion of the Three Corpses God’s energy.

After all, compared to the old temple, she was the top priority target to eliminate.

Just as the mute girl finished signing,

There was a silence among them. While the mute girl was wondering, Kongchan and Jiang Shenchui, among others, simultaneously took a step back.

Li Kun then looked at Li Changhe. Li Changhe measured the distance and turned his gaze toward Qiu Wentian.

Qiu Wentian grinned, her eyes suddenly brightening, and she spoke out loud: "Sleep!"

A voice like that of a king rang out, and a powerful force acted on the unsuspecting mute girl.

The mute girl suddenly felt a wave of sleepiness come over her, and she instantly realized what was happening. She quickly traced a talisman with her fingers, but Li Kun raised his hand and shattered it.

And behind her, the Ghost Hand silently stretched out a finger and pressed it against the fair skin of the mute girl’s neck.

The mute girl’s body stiffened, and she collapsed into his arms.

"Don’t let her do anything foolish, old man," the Ghost Hand said hoarsely as he cradled the mute girl.

"Unless every person here dies in battle, the mute girl won’t have any issues," Li Kun was very satisfied with the Ghost Hand’s actions. Then he continued, "Although there are only three of you in the strike team, if you can find and attack the Three Corpses God, our situation here will immediately improve a lot. Right now, he is maintaining the Array and controlling a huge number of Taoist Soldiers. His energy that can be spared is limited."

"Exactly, even a Celestial cannot fight three Earth Level experts while maintaining an Array and controlling Taoist Soldiers at the same time," Pan Ke said, "So, Li, your primary task is to disrupt his control while keeping yourselves safe. As long as he can’t spare the energy to control the Taoist Soldiers, we will be able to support you."

"If he can’t even maintain the Array, then our support will arrive even faster," Li Kun added, "So, your primary target is still to protect yourselves. Ghost Hand... you need to hold out safely until we arrive. I don’t want my daughter to become a widow."

"Hehehe, I’m not going to die," grinned the Ghost Hand.

...

Once the team was chosen, everyone began to wait for the right moment to blend out.

The Taoist Soldiers at the foot of the mountain also launched several attacks, but they were all stopped by the rocket launcher’s fire. The Three Corpses God was probably intentionally depleting the association’s weapons on purpose.

During this period, Li Changhe sought out Li Kun to discuss the key issue concerning the mute girl once more.

"There’s still time...." After hearing this phrase, Li Kun fell silent for a long while before he asked back, "I know what the key on the mute girl is."

"You already know?" Li Changhe was taken aback and said, "Then just now..."

Wasn’t this the problem that was troubling their side? If Li Kun knew, why didn’t he say anything?

And yet, Li Kun clasped Li Changhe’s shoulders with both hands, staring into his eyes and said, "It’s precisely because I know that I can’t say it. Otherwise, morale would collapse."

Seeing Li Kun’s odd reaction, Li Changhe’s heart stirred, and he asked back, "What is it exactly?"

"The mute girl... she’s pregnant."

"Damn, Ghost Hand moved that fast? Should I give more money for my share then?" Li Changhe half-joked before he stopped himself.

No time... pregnant... mute girl...

"Are you saying, the key to defeating the Three Corpses God is that unborn child?"

It’s hard to imagine, in the original history.

How desperate Li Kun and the others would have been upon learning this news.

They had indeed found the nemesis of the Three Corpses God...

But what use is it?

Perhaps, at some point in the future, the Three Corpses God will die at the hands of that infant.

But... it’s not enough to change their inevitable deaths.

They are doomed to die!
