Chapter 992: The Transaction
Chapter 992: The Transaction
"How about... let's go and capture the Blood-Haired Princess!"
With a group of true gods from the Extermination King's Assembly, they flipped the Origin Clay Tablet hanging in the starry river upside down, but still couldn't find any trace of the Food God. Dong Ya, feeling his heart racing faster and faster, couldn't help but speak up.
"I don't know why, but ever since we arrived here, my heart has been racing, and I have this strong feeling that if we stay any longer, something bad is going to happen..."
The true gods, upon hearing Dong Ya's words, couldn't help but tremble in unison.
If this had been before, when Dong Ya said he felt something was off, they might have thought he was just afraid of the Food God. But Dong Ya had been right so many times before, and if they continued to ignore his advice, it wouldn't be that he had a problem, but that everyone else's brains were malfunctioning.
Especially now that the Food God's whereabouts were unknown again, they had all clearly seen him fall from the Ascent to Divinity, so he must be near the Origin Clay Tablet. But now, he was nowhere to be found...
"Let's wait a bit longer!"
Seeing that the true gods seemed hesitant to stay, Bai She, who had been silent the whole time, clenched her fist and then stepped forward with a grim expression, her face as white as a sheet.
"I'd rather not be like a pigeon trapped in a cage, living in fear and hiding in the mortal realm every day. Worrying about the Cleanup Bureau's raids and the Food God barging in and slaughtering everyone... Those who want to go find the Blood-Haired Princess can go, but I'm staying here!"
"..."
That's true...
Looking at Bai She's determination to stay, the true gods exchanged glances, feeling that there might be some truth to her words.
Dong Ya's "best plan" had a high chance of success, but it was only beneficial for him. For the other true gods, the idea of being caught between the Cleanup Bureau and the Food God sounded like a choice between life and death. It might be better to take a gamble and stay.
"No! That's not right!"
As a clear thumping sound filled the air, Dong Ya, standing at the forefront, paled. He frantically covered his chest and took a few steps back, his face devoid of color as he exclaimed:
"There's a problem! There's definitely a problem!"
"What?!"
As the true gods were startled by Dong Ya's sudden outburst, he continued with a panicked expression:
"Something must have temporarily blocked the Food God, shielding him from my truth! He's coming back! He's returning with an even greater disaster than before! I... I can't stay! I have to leave!"
"Wait!"
Seeing Dong Ya's apparent intention to flee, Bai She quickly grabbed his arm.
"You can leave, but you must give the Serpent Director's name..."
"Here! Take it!"
After shaking off Bai She's hand twice, Dong Ya stomped his foot in frustration and reluctantly took out a ball of light from his chest, roughly pressing it into Bai She's mouth. Amidst his rapidly beating heart, he hissed:
"I might have made a mistake! There's no other option! Except for capturing the Blood-Haired Princess, the other two choices are dead ends... Let go! Let go of me!"
This level of anxiety?
Hearing Dong Ya's voice, now tense and distorted with fear, the true gods' expressions changed repeatedly.
After another round of casualties at the hands of the Food God, the true gods who had come to the Extermination King's Assembly this time were now fewer than sixty. Including those who had sensed the anomaly at the Origin God Platform and came to investigate, the total number of true gods within the Origin Clay Tablet had already surpassed a hundred.
Even though the Food God was powerful, he was still just one person. Could over a hundred true gods really have no way to deal with him? Could they even face certain death?
"Lord Dong Ya... Are you sure?"
After assessing the situation on both sides, the true god wearing the Mountain Pig mask couldn't fathom why they were in a dead-end situation. He hesitated for a moment before asking,
"We didn't plan to take any action. We just wanted to negotiate with the Food God... But now, there are already over a hundred true gods on the Origin Tablet, and more are still arriving. With so many true gods present, could it be dangerous just to negotiate with him?"
"Negotiate? What do you want to negotiate with me about?"
"Of course, it's about..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a confused voice from behind interrupted him. The Mountain Pig True God was about to respond, but suddenly realized something and shouted before taking off. However, he was too slow, and someone grabbed him by the neck and dragged him back.
Amidst the terrified gazes of the true gods on the Origin Tablet, the Food God, who had removed his mask, revealing his true face, stared at the Mountain Pig True God, whose throat was nearly crushed by the grip around his neck. The Mountain Pig True God wailed with tears streaming down his face.
"Food... Food... Food..."
"Do you want a fried dough twist?"
After making a joke only he understood, the Mountain Pig True God was weakened by a force from the 3rd Core Nexus, thrown by Lyon. As he lifted the Mountain Pig True God up, he surveyed the true gods on the Origin Tablet and asked again,
"Well? What do you want to negotiate with me about?"
"..."
"Food God!"
Seeing Lyon's hand around his neck, the Mountain Pig True God, wearing the White Snake mask, trembled in fear. He tightly hugged the Dong Ya around the waist and shouted angrily,
"You better let him go immediately!"
"?"
Lyon, seeing the White Snake's sudden threat, blinked in confusion. He then pointed at Dong Ya, who was being tightly held by the White Snake, and asked with a puzzled expression,
"What will happen if I don't let go? Are you threatening to kill him too?"
"Food God! Don't be so arrogant!"
As Lyon activated the 'Blood,' 'Death,' and 'Fear' 'Level 50' authorities, slowly pressing his hand towards the Mountain Pig True God's head, the White Snake shouted,
"Are you in cahoots with the Serpent Director? I have the 'Law Book' with his signature in my hands! If I crush his name, he will surely die! And once he's dead, your plan will be completely thwarted!"
My plan... refers to resurrecting the two hundred million people of the Eastern Carleva Kingdom and then reconnecting with the Palace of Observation.
"Food God! We want to make a deal with you!"
Seeing Lyon pause, not directly using his authority to crush the Mountain Pig True God, the White Snake heaved a sigh of relief.
With his limbs coiling around Dong Ya like a giant python, ensuring he couldn't escape, the White Snake, gritting his teeth, spoke sternly,
"If you want to resurrect the two hundred million people of the Eastern Carleva Kingdom who died, you can't do it without the Serpent Director. And his life is now in my... our hands!"
After secretly swallowing the light ball representing the Serpent Director's name, the White Snake removed his mask, spat out another light ball, and explained,
"This is a page from the 'Law Book,' already signed with our conditions. If you give up becoming a true god and withdraw from the Origin God Platform, promising not to covet eternal life, we will return the Serpent Director's name to you!
But if you insist on claiming the Origin Tablet, we will first crush the Serpent Director, thwarting your plan. Then, at all costs, we will keep you here! The choice is yours!"
