Soul-Slaying Girl: All the contracts I contracted are ancient divine weapons.

Chapter 879: Land of God's Punishment
When Han Zhan asked this question, the other senior brothers and sisters all looked at him sideways.

Even Shen Luo, who had a nonchalant look on his face, couldn't help but look at him again.

This is a really daring question.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ziya was not angry at being questioned, but his eyes showed a hint of approval.

"very good."

"Jifa, you have a quality that none of your senior brothers and sisters possess, and that's why I'm really optimistic about you."

"Your choices, your thinking, and your origins have destined you to not always stick to the rules. You have the courage to challenge and break the rules, and do things that ordinary people cannot do."

Jiang Ziya praised generously.

It turns out that questioning the master in a reasonable way is something that ordinary people cannot do?

Maybe for the people in this world, looking at the reactions of other seniors, it seems to be true.

However, Han Zhan himself didn’t think much about it. He just wanted to figure out what happened and find the murderer behind it.

Jiang Ziya continued, "I was invited to another place of divine punishment, so I was not in the ancestral temple when the incident happened."

The land of God's punishment?

Han Zhan seemed to remember that Chang Hao had used the term "Land of God's Punishment" when he was telling him about Xiqi and Quanrong.

"The Land of God's Punishment is the place where one suffers punishment from the gods."

Jiang Ziya was afraid that Han Zhan didn't know, so he explained it to him again.

"There are many gods, and their requirements are different. For example, Xiqi serves the Sun God, whose favorite sacrifice is chicken, which is also the most common animal raised in the granary."

"If you fail to meet the requirements of the gods, then the gods will punish you. This kind of punishment is called divine punishment."

Xiqi was originally condemned by God because it could not fulfill the requirements of the [Sun God] and became a place of divine punishment.

In fact, most places except Xiqi have also become places of God's punishment.

After all, if the gods’ demands are so easily satisfied by mortals, can they still be called gods’ demands?

Because of various divine punishments, the whole world seems to have fallen into purgatory.

"Teacher, have you saved another place of God's punishment?" Chang Hao asked in surprise after hearing Jiang Ziya's words.

"It can't be considered salvation. It just saved the people there from endless punishment from the gods. Just like Xiqi, I found a way for them to survive on their own."

What Jiang Ziya did was to spread his faith.

The reputation of the ancestral temple will spread more and more widely as it performs good deeds to save the people in the land of God's punishment.

Han Zhan, who already knew the benefits of people's faith and vows in nourishing one's own path, understood very well the significance of Jiang Ziya's actions.

Allowing the people of a land of God's punishment to survive is indeed a great merit.

Jiang Ziya’s “alibi” is shocking and convincing.

In this way, everyone, including Master Jiang Ziya, seemed to have been temporarily cleared of suspicion.

At this time, Jiang Ziya was no longer obsessed with finding the traitor, and he spoke again, repeating another question:

"Now that the offerings to the gods have been destroyed, do you have any solution?"

In addition to a large number of live chickens, Xiqi also needs to offer various other foods to the Sun God on a regular basis.

[Sun God] has a good appetite. In order to satisfy His appetite, Xiqi built a granary with the help of the ancestral temple.

Because of the stable supply of offerings to the gods, the Sun God has not sent down new divine punishments for a long time. The people of Xiqi have been able to survive and reproduce in the granaries. As the population gradually increases, the pressure on the supply of offerings to the gods is getting smaller and smaller.

This is a virtuous cycle, but now...

"The sacrifice required by the Sun God is a huge amount of food. The growth of food itself takes time and cannot be achieved overnight."

"There are still three days before the sacrifice. During these three days, can we buy food from other places for emergency?"

"However, each place of divine punishment has its own hardships. Even if we can buy food, I'm afraid the quantity will hardly meet the requirements of the gods' sacrifices."

Even if Xiqi is willing to pay a high price to buy food, I am afraid that in the end, the food that can be purchased will be limited.

This path probably won't work.

"Let me tell your fortune." Seeing that everyone was silent, Lu Tao decided to give his mysterious method a try.

After the first time, came the second time, and after the second time, came the third time.

Looking at Lu Tao's expression, you can guess the result without even looking.

It seems that metaphysics is no longer reliable.

"I can attack the Quanrong." Suddenly, Shen Luo told him his plan.

As a land of divine punishment, the Quanrong received punishment from the [God of Fire]. In order to please the [God of Fire], they had to fight against the lava monsters born from divine punishment in their own territory all the time.

This also made the people of Quanrong become fierce and aggressive.

It’s not like there hasn’t been a precedent before where the Quanrong attacked Xiqi and plundered a large amount of food.

"In addition to the lava monster's heart, the [Fire God]'s offering to the gods also requires a large amount of food. They must have stockpiled it in advance."

"If we can defeat the Quanrong within three days, Xiqi's urgent needs will be resolved."

It’s fine if Senior Brother Shen Luo doesn’t speak, but once he speaks, it feels like he’s making a big splash.

After hearing his words, everyone leaned back slightly tactically.

Jiang Ziya looked at his eldest disciple, moved his lips, but ultimately said nothing.

It was Chang Hao who spoke again, breaking the brief silence.

"Big Brother, I'm afraid this won't work."

"The warriors of the Quanrong have been fighting powerful lava monsters all their lives. They drink the blood of the lava monsters and gnaw on their hearts. This has caused the Quanrong people to mutate and become giants two or three meters tall."

"It's a bit unrealistic for us to defeat the Quanrong alone."

"What's more, the ancestral temple has always been based on the people's faith and will to give back to the great way. If the news of the attack on the Quanrong spread to other places, it would be a big blow to the ancestral temple."

Regardless of victory or defeat, if the disciples of the ancestral temple attack the neighboring country, the reputation of the ancestral temple that Jiang Ziya has worked so hard to promote will probably be destroyed.

Unless, they change their approach and stop saving the people and start enslaving them.

In that way, one can gain the power of faith and will, without having to worry about the backlash from the people.

However... Jiang Ziya should not make such a choice, otherwise, he could have done so from the beginning.

One plan after another was rejected, and everyone fell silent again.

At this time, Han Zhan stepped forward from the crowd, came in front of Jiang Ziya, and said:

"Master, maybe I have a way to help Xiqi and the ancestral temple get through this crisis!"
