Chapter 2183: Chapter 729: Storytelling

Five days later, Wang’an City, Vermilion Bird Street, World Tower.

This is one of the most renowned taverns in Wang’an City recently, with the newest dishes, the best beverages, and the liveliest atmosphere.

As Hu Kan and Hu Lai, two brothers, walked into the building, they heard the storyteller inside narrating the story of Demon God Burial Sky.

"With an order from All Gods, seventy thousand heads rolled instantly. They deceived the Human Clan tribes of Central Earth, claiming their Burial Sky needed a blood sacrifice. However, you must know, that War God Burial Sky, like our current Holy Emperor, possesses the Blood of Ten Thousand Ages and boundless Primordial Power. He harbors no Demon Addiction, nor needs Blood Food, and can roam free without gathering stars himself."

"And then All Gods sent human traitors, those so-called Divine Envoys who colluded with All Gods, to Central Earth to tarnish Burial Sky’s reputation. They proclaimed Burial Sky as a Demon God who delighted in Blood Food, slaughter, and warfare."

"Over time, Burial Sky was perpetually surrounded by resentful evil. Originally, with Burial Sky’s Divine Skills, he could have eradicated much of this force of resentful evil, without suffering such pain. However, raised single-handedly by the You Chao Family, his temperament was so magnanimous and generous, he believed that this resentful evil died because of him. Thus, instead of obliterating them, he took them upon himself, allowing them to gnaw at his own flesh and blood—"

When Hu Kan heard this, the two brothers had already sat down in a private room on the third floor.

Immediately, they heard a roar from below.

"Damn it! Despicable!"

Followed by a ’bang’ sound, accompanied by the splashing sound of water.

Hu Kan glanced down through the window and inwardly remarked that it was exactly as expected.

It was an outsider Martial Cultivator, enraged beyond restraint, smashing the table with one palm, causing wood chips to fly, and the fragments of bowls, plates, and soups to spill all over.

Lately, this kind of situation has become the norm in major taverns and teahouses in the Capital City.

The shopkeeper and the waiters downstairs have seen it all, swiftly cleaning up, replacing tables, and rearranging dishes, unfazed.

The surrounding patrons had no ill feelings towards the outsider, instead, they shared the sentiment and loudly discussed,

"Well smashed! Truly detestable and hateful!"

"These Gods, all deserve to be killed! If I were ever fortunate enough to see Eternity, I’d surely raise a blade and follow His Majesty to capture and slay those blood-stained Gods one by one!"

"Isn’t that so? All Gods and those Giant Spirits regard us Humans as swine and dogs. In the future, we will also regard them as swine and dogs!"

"I used to only know Burial Sky was termed as a Demon God, perhaps there was a hidden story. This Demon God and Li Tan, Ziyu, never actively sought Blood Food from followers. That lineage of Demon Battle Tower is rotten as it is, but among many Demon Sects, it’s one with the least sin. Yet, never did I expect there was such a tale within."

"The most infuriating are those humans siding with Gods. Damn them, they lack the guts to resist All Gods, yet they excel at harming fellow kin. If I encounter them in the future, I’ll surely slaughter a few to vent my anger!"

Hu Kan withdrew his gaze from outside the window and exchanged a look with his brother Hu Lai.

Hu Lai raised his cup, speaking with admiration: "Remarkable indeed is His Majesty, with foresight vast as ten thousand miles, today we ought to drink deeply thrice!"

The Great Honglu Temple of the court began two years ago to cultivate a large number of storytellers stationed at various taverns, teahouses, city gates, and other populous spots.

They are supported by the court, held under Ninth Grade in rank, and are typically responsible for narrating various stories compiled by the Great Honglu Temple, as well as court decrees and tax systems, preventing local citizens from being deceived by local officials.

What left a deep impression on Hu Lai were the few cases related to court laws narrated by these storytellers.

Cases like the chained double nail case, brother property dispute case, Zhang San manslaughter case, Li Si theft case, sister-in-law husband dispute case, not only strange and eye-catching but also made citizens aware of what court laws were like and what judgments should be made under certain circumstances.

Hu Lai found it novel at the time, considering it a divine touch from Chu Xisheng, of great benefit in solidifying Dalv’s rule.

Take the court’s strong implementation of equal land, tax, and household policies across regions for example.

Those aristocratic families who used to incite the populace against the court found the effects lacking.

Everyone knew what was going on, and would not be easily bewitched by the powerful families.

Hu Lai was nonetheless surprised that the true purpose of these storytellers was revealed under such dim circumstances.

Recently, the court urgently distributed stories about Suirenshi, You Chao, Yu Gong, Zhi Sou, Burial Sky, Emperor Xuanhuang, Li Tan and other human ancients, instructing these storytellers to narrate them, so that local citizens not only refrained from panicking due to the sun and moon’s lack of light and successive disasters, but rather grew more passionate and united against enemies.

Besides that, the recent "Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual" from the Tianji Pavilion and the court’s "Debating Martial Arts" are also extensively publishing tales of Blood Revenge, Martial Fierce Heavenly King, and many other predecessors of Martial Cultivators resisting All Gods.

"His Majesty truly has great foresight!"

Hu Kan also smiled and clinked his cup with Hu Lai: "All Gods want to use natural disasters to shake the hearts of Divine Continent’s people, yet they don’t know His Majesty already has this guarded."

At this moment, the strength of Dalv Country can be seen from the orderly crowds on the streets.

People cooperate with the government’s instructions to a huge extent, showcasing their trust towards the Dalv Court and the current Holy Emperor.

They might not be able to help the court resist All Gods, but none are willing to create trouble for the court.
