Chapter 726 - 564: Waiting for the Evil God
Chun thought about it for a while and couldn’t find a reasonable and smooth "online" reason. After all, his opponent was not a god, but the Ten Lords. Unless it’s for a meal at 6 o’clock, or someone triggers a world announcement that alerts him, it’s worth going online.
But now it’s 1 o’clock, and waiting until 6 o’clock for dinner seems a bit excessive. Maybe have a chat with her? After all, the collaboration with her was too hasty, and the premise of cooperation was simply not fighting.
So, what about profit distribution? Without properly discussing distribution, I might just end up as cannon fodder. It’s possible that once she sees I’m weakened, she’ll take me out in one swift move. I have to guard against that!
In fact, I have limited understanding of what the Divine Tree is.
Chun then asked, "Are you in a hurry?"
"Of course, I’m in a hurry!"
Chun sighed, "You’ve been lurking for years without finding the entrance and didn’t feel urgent, why the rush now?"
"Space rifts are fluctuating and changing. Missing this opportunity means I won’t know when the next one might come. Naturally, I’m in a hurry!"
A space rift, huh? I encounter those all the time!
Chun was surprised, "How is it such a coincidence that I encounter an unmissable rift as soon as I arrive? I suggest we be cautious and wait, and have a good talk."
Nabchuanxi was furious, "What do you know? I’m a High Tier Beelzebub, and my precision control over space is on par with the Gods!"
Chun was not polite either, "The previous Beelzebubs were not cautious and I took them down!"
The buzzing sound instantly became silent!
Chun also wondered if these words hurt mutual trust too much. But it was a necessary reminder that she should remember I took down several Beelzebubs and I’m not her punching bag.
Finally, Nabchuanxi chuckled, "Alright, what do you want to discuss?"
Chun breathed a sigh of relief, "I want to know more about the Oak Divine Tree and our mission objectives, as well as the benefits I can receive."
Nabchuanxi said, "As I mentioned, during the Pioneer era, it was because we discovered the Oak Divine Tree here that the city was built. However, the Pioneer Corps’ faith is the Bright God Church. Not only do they refuse to worship the Alien Race God, but they also seek to seal and exploit it. For centuries, Oak City has extracted the tree’s sap and cut its branches to manufacture many Divine Artifact-level potions, magic staffs, warship components, and gained massive profits. Don’t you think the Divine Tree is pitiable?"
Chun was stunned for a moment, "Pitiable...but you’re a Demon!"
Nabchuanxi smiled, "Alright, I’m a Demon, so my mission is to either rescue or burn the Divine Tree. In any case, not letting Oak City have its way! As for the benefits you can receive, that’s not for me to decide. At the very least, we’re now in the Divine Domain Space of the Divine Tree. If an opportunity arises, you can escape, right? You’ll be free."
Escape? Chun’s heart skipped a beat, feeling a bit uneasy!
Escaping would mean being globally wanted, with no place to stay in the five cities. Perhaps truly becoming a pirate or going to Evil Spirit Island?
Without thinking too much, Chun asked, "This Divine Domain of the Divine Tree is so strong, are you sure your clone can burn it down?"
Nabchuanxi said, "Let me add, this Divine Domain is not only the Divine Tree’s but also the Guardian God’s of this city. Unlike the other four cities, a lot of the Guardian God’s power is used to suppress and seal the Divine Tree. So, I’m not sure what state the Divine Tree is in after a century of exploitation and suppression by the Guardian God. Maybe it’s filled with dry branches and easy for me to burn?"
The Guardian God’s power?
This reminded Chun, "If the Skeleton Evil God from the Demon Beast tomb suddenly emerges, can the Guardian God still suppress the Divine Tree?"
Nabchuanxi was stunned, "What Demon Beast tomb?"
Chun explained, "It’s the place where the Pioneer Corps killed many powerful Demon Beasts during the Pioneer era and buried their bodies... I became a Blasphemer of Black Iron City to deal with Evil Gods! I even contributed to exterminating the Evil God that emerged from Silver City!"
Nabchuanxi was amazed, "I never thought about this aspect! Are you sure Oak City will have an Evil God?"
The NPC’s information blind spot!
Chun was very certain, "Yes!"
After all, it’s been over ten days since the last Evil God emerged in Silver City. Even if they’re building up for a big move, it should’ve happened by now.
Nabchuanxi was silent.
Chun was also amused, feeling quite thrilled to persuade an NPC to think. However, the Ten Lords must also be prepared. How would the Ten Lords arrange things?
After a while, Nabchuanxi asked again, "Was the previous Black Iron Guardian God assassinated by you?"
Holy Shit, what are you thinking about?
Chun replied irritably, "That’s a rumor!"
"Then where did the Black Iron Guardian God go?"
Chun was exasperated, "I don’t know; it’s none of my business, nor yours. You’d better think about the Evil God matter."
Nabchuanxi said, "If the Evil God comes out, it would indeed facilitate our chaotic actions. So as you said, I might as well observe and wait a bit - I indeed noticed some unusual fluctuations in the space rift just now, possibly from the Evil God. So, I’ll remain silent for now. If there’s anything new, I’ll notify you."
Been waiting for those words, in the middle of the night, continue to sleep.
But suddenly, Chun couldn’t sleep! When she mentioned the whereabouts of the Black Iron Guardian God, Chun suddenly remembered something, that in the past century, the Black Iron Guardian God had been strategizing from the ground up. Did he have any plans near the Oak City Divine Tree? And Nancy, who had laid out plans for Silver City’s Mithril Mines and the descendants of Bronze City’s Chifanda, had she made any moves here?
If plans were made in advance, I might truly have an adventure. If not, it would all depend on my improvisation; I really can’t quite handle it...
...
Welcome ceremony at Silver City.
Tata War God was publicly insulted by Sariel during the global livestream, and the pride of Global 12 was instantly shattered. Although in Black Iron City, Tata used to avoid Sariel and didn’t have such pride, being insulted globally is another matter, elevating it to a level of national pride!
In short, the contingency plan was activated, and the Tata Battle Team immediately voiced their support for Tata in condemning Sariel in the livestream! Then they instantly rallied a broad Curry support!
At that moment, Tata once again enjoyed the thrill of global attention converging on him, feeling electrified and unwilling to leave, even turning somersaults on-site!
Moreover, blessed with the soul of the Ancient Giant Python, Sariel’s player troops couldn’t deal with me using mere police batons, unless Sariel personally took action! But how could he PK a player in the city in front of three City Beauties?
Amid his proud oblivion, Singer, the team manager, received a call from the steward, "Warning, tell Tata War God to get out!"
Tata’s heart skipped a beat. No matter how strong he was in the game, he couldn’t compete with a single phone call from the Ten Lords in reality!
But, having reached this point...
Tata War God gritted his teeth and set conditions, "Unless you give me 5000 Mining Coins for teleportation expenses, I’m not leaving!"
Though the game locked players from transferring Mining Coins to each other, Silver City was different. Silver City could directly mint coins, and Mining Coins weren’t just numbers; they were physical coins! As a Ten Lord, Sariel must be able to provide actual coins.
