That's all it was!
The casual words of Shen Yuan seemed not to be talking about a Demon Path Giant who had been dominating the world for thousands of years, but rather a roadside weed that could be easily uprooted.
The reverence in the hearts of the mountain gods had reached an indescribable level.
The hostility in the eyes of the Yunfu Mountain Lord had long since disappeared, his anger transforming into respectful adoration.
Although the events Shen Yuan narrated seemed to be just his side of the story, the mountain gods believed in his words wholeheartedly.
As local deities governing these mountains, controlling the echoes of the mountains, the residual information of the earth could tell them the truth of Shen Yuan's words.
The information from the corpses of several mountain gods and the culprits on the run all matched Shen Yuan's narration.
