Wen Qiao retreated while fighting, shouting, "My two Taoist friends, I am here to be a peacemaker, not to be beaten by you! You still want to fight me? I fought back... Let's fight one-on-one if you can! What kind of heroes are you if two fight one... Pavilion Master Su, I'll leave first!"

Su Yun looked up and saw thick smoke gushing out of the volcano on Wen Qiao's shoulder. In an instant, the sky was filled with smoke, blocking the view of the two old gods, Cangwu and Dongting.

Wen Qiao strode away in a hurry, shouting, "Master Su, I tried my best!"

Cangwu and Dongting rushed out of the thick smoke and looked around. They couldn't see any trace of Wen Qiao, so they said bitterly: "You are so fast!"

Su Yun secretly praised Wen Qiao for being a prudent peacemaker. Seeing that Cangwu and Dongting were about to fight again, he hurriedly said loudly: "Brother Dongting, I am the messenger of the Chaos Emperor. I came here to discuss something."

He used the Chaos Immortal Slaying Finger and said, "Brother Dongting, you should know that it is impossible to learn the Chaos Runes and magical powers without someone to teach you."

The old god of Dongting Lake had no head, and there was a flat lake on his head. The lake surface was strange, and even if he lowered his head, no water would fall down. Seeing that Su Yun's magical power was indeed the power of chaos, the old god asked suspiciously: "Since you are the messenger of the Great Emperor, why are you hanging out with a traitor like Cangwu?"

Su Yun said solemnly: "The Great Emperor was suppressed in the Immortal Realm, and Emperor Shu was also hunted down by the Immortal Realm. Now it is beneficial for both sides to unite."

The old god of Dongting was furious and shouted, "Emperor Shu is the real murderer who murdered the Great Emperor. Where is your conscience if you cooperate with him?"

Su Yun's face changed slightly, and he sneered, "I went through life and death to search for the body parts of the Chaos Emperor and help him revive. I didn't hesitate to be humiliated by Emperor Shu and Emperor Hu! What have you done for the Chaos Emperor that you dare to blame me?"

The old god of Dongting was speechless.

Su Yun sneered, "What you are doing is hiding here and complaining about yourself, waiting for the rain to come and catch some rainwater? I guess this is why the emperor ordered me to be the envoy instead of letting you loyal old subordinates be the envoys! Because you only know how to complain!"

The old god of Dongting Lake said hesitantly: "How could you turn hostile in the middle of a conversation? I am not blaming you, but it is shameful to cooperate with a despicable person like Di Shu..."

Cangwu was furious and wanted to fight him, saying sternly: "As a former god, you are willing to be enslaved by Chaos and become an accomplice of the tiger, while Emperor Shu took the risk to assassinate the tyrant for the sake of the universe and the people? This is the reason for the peace and prosperity of the future generations!"

Dongting was furious and wanted to fight him to the death. He shouted, "The Great Emperor came to the world to open up the fairyland and enlighten all living beings. Even we gods have to respect him and call him father! Di Shu and Di Hu killed their fathers. Heaven cannot tolerate this!"

Su Yun shouted, "Stop it!"

The two old gods just fought each other? They did not continue the fight after hearing this.

Su Yun's chest rose and fell violently. He sneered, "In the ancient times, the old gods ruled the world. The universe, time and space, were all controlled by the old gods! It was you guys who acted independently, were self-righteous, and killed each other. And the Emperor of Hades changed his mind according to the situation. This gave the immortals the opportunity to become the rulers. You can only be stray dogs! Let go!"

Cangwu and Dongting each showed a look of shame, let go of their hands, and took a step back.

Su Yun snorted, "If you dare to fight privately in front of me again, just go back to your own pits. I won't serve you! Damn it!"

The two old gods felt a little sorry when they saw him getting angry.

Dong Ting said hesitantly: "Look at you, you get angry easily. You should at least restrain yourself. We are not unreasonable..."

Cangwu nodded repeatedly.

Su Yun ignored them and continued to consult the Classic of Mountains and Seas, looking for the whereabouts of other old gods.

Dongting asked Yingying, "You are the messenger's close associate. When do you think the messenger will lead us to raise the banner of justice and rebel against the immortal world together?"

Yingying asked, "Which fairyland are you talking about?"

The old god of Dongting Lake was puzzled and asked, "How many fairylands can there be? Of course it is the fairyland of today!"

Yingying smiled and said, "There are two immortal realms now, one is the upper realm and the other is the lower realm. The upper realm is already corrupt, Di Feng is the immortal emperor, and now Di Feng is in a mess. The lower realm is also the immortal realm, and Shi Zi is the immortal emperor. Why would he rebel against himself?"

The old god of Dongting was so stunned that he was speechless.

Su Yun led Dongting and Cangwu to the southern part of the imperial court to look for the next old god. This old god lived in Silu Cave Heaven in the south of the imperial court and his name was Pengli.

This old god lived in the swamp of Silu Cave Heaven. When Su Yun called out this old god, thousands of gods of all sizes in the swamp suddenly raised their heads. Some had rhinoceros heads, some were elephant gods, some had deer horns on their heads, and some were crocodile dragons. They all shouted, "Who called me?"

Su Yun and Yingying, who was recording on his shoulder, looked at the thousands of gods in the swamp and were stunned and confused.

Su Yun shouted, "Which one of you is the emperor's loyal subject Peng Li?"

All the gods said in unison: "I am Pengli! What do you want from me?"

Dongting and Cangwu burst into laughter.

Su Yun frowned and said, "I am the messenger of the Chaos Emperor..."

“No!” Thousands of gods shook their heads and said in unison, “Chaos Tyrant, I will not work for a tyrant!”

Su Yun smiled and said, "What a coincidence! I am also Di Shu's fellow Taoist, and I am planning a big plan..."

The myriad gods shook their heads and said, "Emperor Shu, you are a traitor to Chaos. I have always despised such two-faced people. I will not go!"

Su Yun laughed loudly and said: "It seems that I can't hide it from you! I am the special envoy of Di Hu..."

Thousands of gods said one after another: "Emperor Hu, you are a two-faced person, despised by all! I won't leave!"

Su Yun was furious and shouted, "I am the Great Emperor of the Seventh Immortal Realm, and I am calling you to serve me! If Dongting and Cangwu do not obey, I will destroy their entire clan and uproot them!"

The faces of the thousands of gods changed drastically. They ran hurriedly, bumping into each other, and shouted, "We are not afraid of those who are reasonable, but we are afraid of those who want to kill us! We will obey!"

It’s strange to say, those gods with thousands of faces, when two of them collide with each other, they turn into another tall god, and the appearance is also different from the previous one!

Just like that, thousands of gods combined into a majestic giant in just a short moment. He looked at Su Yun and said suspiciously: "Are you the emperor of the seventh fairyland? I don't quite believe it. You look so weak..."

Su Yun smiled and said, "An immortal just ascended to the Seventh Immortal Realm, so it's normal for it to be a little weak."

Peng Li shook his head, and suddenly the gods on his head and body half emerged and laughed, "I know you! You are the prince of the evil emperor, who defeated the two first immortals and became the emperor of the seventh fairyland. You are Su Yun, you are dead, dead! Emperor Feng will not tolerate you!"

This Pengli obviously knows a lot and is well-informed, unlike Dongting and Cangwu who are just two fools.

Yingying looked at him curiously and asked, "Pengli, how many parts can you divide yourself into?"

Peng Li laughed and said, "I can turn into millions and millions, or I can turn into dust and sand, which is infinite and endless!"

Yingying was full of admiration and said, "Send some more people to help me organize and record the runes on your old gods."

Peng Li sneered: "Why should I listen to you? You are so young..."

"I am Emperor Su's teacher, you can call me Master Yingying." Yingying said.

Peng Li quickly shut up and separated thousands of little men to search Dongting and Cangwu's bodies for the old god runes. Hundreds of little men held pens, ink, paper and inkstone to record these old god runes.

Yingying breathed a sigh of relief and said happily, "A job that took half a year to complete can be done in just a few hours! I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

After several months of searching, Su Yun found the old gods Zhenze, Hongze and others. He used coercion, bribery, fraud and deception to finally make these old gods follow him.

Among them, there was an old god that Su Yun had seen before. He was the thousand-armed ancient god who guarded the bridge from the imperial court to the rear court. This ancient god was called Lingji. He had served under the Evil Emperor, but was not loyal to him.

Su Yun used the title of Prince of the Evil Emperor to win him over, but he was willing to follow him. Su Yun was still worried, so he used the identity of the messenger of the Chaos Emperor to win him over, and Ling Ji did not refuse.

Including Wen Qiao, there are a total of twelve old gods.

Except for Wen Qiao, who was from the Dihu faction, none of the other old gods were from the Dihu faction. Su Yun couldn't help but hesitate, thinking, "It seems that it's easy to capsize as the Dihu envoy. What did Dihu do to deserve the wrath of heaven and people?"

The other old gods are mostly the remnants of Emperor Chaos, but these old gods cannot be considered loyal subjects of Emperor Chaos. They just miss the era when Emperor Chaos ruled, which is more of a nostalgia.

After the death of Emperor Chaos, the days of the old gods gradually became less prosperous than before. Emperor Shu suppressed dissidents, and Emperor Hu completely handed over power to the immortals, completely destroying the era of the old gods.

During the reign of Emperor Jue, the days of the old gods were waning, and various positions of power were gradually replaced by immortals, and power fell into the hands of others.

Until now, few people remember them.

They are a group of poor creatures eliminated by the times, lingering on in the corners of history. Therefore, Su Yun came here to awaken them, but also gave these forgotten beings a chance.

However, these old gods have grudges and deep hatred among themselves, and they want to kill each other at any time, which gives Su Yun a headache.

The Shan Hai Jing that Wen Qiao gave him only recorded these old gods, but there were obviously many more old gods, but they were not in the Seventh Immortal Realm.

"Many of the old gods are dead, and most of those who are still alive are serving in the Immortal Court."

Qianbi Lingji said to Su Yun: "I originally served under the Evil Emperor. Later, during the reign of Emperor Feng, Emperor Feng ordered me to guard the bridge of the imperial court. When you came, I was worried that you would use your identity as the messenger of the Chaos Emperor to make me work for you, so I ran away."

Su Yun was puzzled and asked, "Why are you willing to come out and help me when I come to look for you today?"

Ling Ji said: "The Great Emperor of Chaos is declining, the Emperor of Sudden Sun is fading, the Emperor of Hun is unworthy, the Emperor of Jue is doomed, and the Emperor of Feng is at the end of his rope. You are the Emperor of the Seventh Immortal Realm. If you come to invite me, I will follow you."

Su Yunlong was very pleased and proud.

Yingying felt a strong sense of nervousness. She glanced at Qianbi Lingji and thought to herself, "Could it be that this guy got his start by flattering others? It shows that he is a sycophantic official!"
