Chapter 413: Cooperation

"Is the God of White Wolves not here?"

The sword-carrying man's face was full of doubt.

A look of hesitation appeared on Taohua's face.

"It seems like he is, yet it also seems like he isn't."

The Compass in her hand was a divine artifact.

The sole purpose of this divine artifact was to detect whether the true form of a deity was present nearby.

This divine artifact was crafted by their organization using a millennium of effort, and there were five in total.

"What does that mean?" the sword-carrying man asked, puzzled.

"This means that if the God of White Wolves is in Pingkang City, his state is very peculiar.

Could it be... that he has entered the Void?

But why would he enter the Void for no reason?

Even deities cannot remain in the Void for long.

The Void is incomparably dangerous."

Taohua explained.

He naturally did not know that Lin Chao had used a Divine Power Cage to imprison the God of White Wolves and the God of Fire, subsequently dragging them into the Void.

In his past life, Lin Chao was a Main God, capable of traversing the Void.

Although the Void of this world was different from the Void of the world he belonged to, many things were essentially the same.

A deity from his past life was stronger than the deities of this world.

"No." Suddenly, Taohua's expression changed drastically, and her eyes revealed a look of terror.

"What's wrong?" the sword-carrying man asked urgently, "Pingkang City... has more than just the aura of the God of White Wolves.

Not long ago, there was also the aura of another deity!

That deity... was a Medium Divine Power!"

"What?" A look of astonishment appeared on the sword-carrying man's face, "How could there be a deity with Medium Divine Power?"

According to the information he had obtained, those who had fallen to the Continent were all deities with Weak Divine Power.

"It seems our plan is going to fail.

We are simply not equipped to deal with a deity of Medium Divine Power." A look of disappointment appeared in the sword-carrying man's eyes.

If it were a deity with Weak Divine Power, they might have been able to plot something.

However, a Medium Divine Power was difficult to deal with unless all the experts of the organization were deployed.

"No, there's more..." The astonishment on Taohua's face deepened, "There are two other divine auras that have appeared in Pingkang City.

One of them is a Weak Divine Power, and the other... is very concealed; I can't tell!"

"Four deities have appeared here?

Could it be... that they have discovered our plan?" The sword-carrying man looked worried.

This made Taohua find it amusing: "Our organization is not yet worth such serious attention from deities.

Perhaps... the deities are plotting some major event."

The organization Taohua belonged to was a powerful organization named Zero.

The name of this organization was very simple, chosen precisely to avoid being noticed by deities.

The members of this organization were all Legendary.

Their goal was also very simple: to slay gods, and then become gods themselves.

Unfortunately, since the organization's inception, no one had truly become a god.

After all, historically speaking, slaying a god was incredibly difficult.

However, those Legendaries had not been idle; they had been preparing for god-slaying all along.

Now that the deities had descended and the opportunity had arrived, the organization no longer hid from the world; various experts gathered together, preparing to do something big.

Therefore, Taohua and the sword-carrying man had come to Pingkang City to first verify if the true form of the God of White Wolves was really here, so that the organization could then dispatch experts to begin the siege and kill the God of White Wolves.

The sword-carrying man had a worried look in his eyes: "Let's be careful and leave here when the timing is right."

He no longer held onto the idea of slaying the God of White Wolves.

After all, with so many deities present, how could they possibly have a chance?

Just then, however, the Compass in Taohua's hand suddenly showed an anomaly.

Two things resembling starlight suddenly appeared on it.

The starlight swirled and then fell.

A look of shock appeared on Taohua's face.

"A deity has fallen!"

This divine artifact Compass could not only detect the presence of deities but also detect the fall of deities.

On the Compass, the falling starlight meant that a deity had fallen nearby.

"What, a deity has fallen? Who is it?" The sword-carrying man looked shocked, his eyes also carrying a trace of worry; he felt as if he had been dragged into something extraordinary.

"There is the God of White Wolves, and another... it is a deity of Medium Divine Power." Taohua's eyes were filled with terror.

If the God of White Wolves fell, so be it.

But the fall of a deity with Medium Divine Power was an extraordinary matter.

After all, according to the information obtained, no deities with Medium Divine Power had fallen to the mortal realm yet.

Now that a deity of Medium Divine Power had actually fallen, how could it not be inexplicably shocking?

After all, the strength required to make a deity of Medium Divine Power fall must be extremely terrifying; their Zero organization could not contend with it at all.

"Let's go quickly, this place is not suitable for a long stay." The sword-backed man spoke; he decided not to wade into these muddy waters.

After all, even a god with Medium Divine Power could fall, so anything was possible.

A moment of carelessness might lead to being caught in the crossfire.

Taohua glanced at Pingkang City, and without hesitation, she nodded: "Fine, let's go and report the situation here to the organization."

The two of them were originally the vanguard, sent only to observe the God of White Wolves.

Now that the God of White Wolves and a god with Medium Divine Power had died at the hands of a mysterious god, they naturally would not stay long.

However, just as they were about to leave the carriage and leave Pingkang City.

A voice appeared in their ears.

"This is... what?"

Taohua's heart tightened, and the sword on the sword-backed man's back even let out a sword hum.

Inside their carriage, a young man had appeared out of thin air.

Taohua looked at this young man, yet she could not see the young man's face clearly no matter how she tried.

Her heart turned cold, and she immediately had a guess.

At the same time, she was very surprised at how the other party had discovered her.

"This is... a Compass," Taohua replied, her thoughts racing frantically as she pondered a way to escape.

Yet, she understood that if the other party was a god, and a god capable of discovering her, she had no way to escape at all.

The sword on the sword-backed man's back was still trembling, seemingly afraid of something.

This was the first time the sword-backed man had encountered such a situation.

He also instantly guessed the other party's identity.

The other party was very likely the mysterious god that Taohua had spoken of.

The newcomer was naturally Lin Chao; he swept his gaze over the two of them and refocused his attention on the Compass.

"A Compass? This thing is quite interesting."

Inside the Divine Power Cage, Lin Chao had joined forces with Yuwen Zhanye to Slay the God of Fire and the God of White Wolves.

Just after the Slaying, he had sensed a trace of anomaly, as if something was resonating with his Divine Power.

This resonance was very subtle.

Moreover, it was not only resonating with his Divine Power, but also with Yuwen Zhanye's Divine Power.

Lin Chao followed that thread of anomaly, saw Taohua and the sword-backed man, and came here.

"Since Your Excellency has come here, what instructions do you have?" Taohua still gathered the courage to ask.

Lin Chao looked at the two: "What are your identities, and what are you doing here?

Also, what is the function of this Compass?"

Lin Chao asked three questions in a row.

He looked at them, a sense of threat flowing from his eyes.

"Do not think about deceiving me, otherwise..."

When dealing with people who posed a threat to him, Lin Chao naturally would not show mercy.

What's more, these two were of unknown identity and seemed to be tracking his location.

Taohua lowered her head, her heart shaken.

She understood that the Compass must have detected this god, and been sensed by this god in return.

She was very surprised.

After all, this Compass was created by the Zero organization over a thousand years.

Moreover, the methods used during its creation were derived from ancient gods.

Ordinary gods could not possibly discover that they were being detected.

According to the leader of the Zero organization, perhaps only a god with Strong Divine Power could perceive the existence of this artifact.

And even then, not every god with Strong Divine Power could; only those with powerful perception could.

Could the god before her actually perceive it?

Could it be... that the other party is a god with Strong Divine Power?

Impossible!

Taohua instantly dismissed this guess.

Within the Pantheon, there were only twelve gods with Strong Divine Power, each with a name and reputation; the god before her did not match any of those known to Taohua.

Facing the interrogation of this mysterious existence, Lin Chao, Taohua had no choice but to answer: "This Compass is an artifact that we obtained by accident.

This artifact can sense whether there are gods in the vicinity."

Taohua could not betray the organization, so her answer was a mix of truth and lies.

Hearing this, Lin Chao's eyes lit up.

This artifact was of great use to him.

After all, he also wanted to track down the true location of every god in order to hunt them.

If he had this artifact in hand, many things would be much more convenient for him.

"Give this artifact to me; I have great use for it.

I will pay a price that will satisfy you." Lin Chao spoke at this moment, polite and refined.

Hearing Lin Chao's words, Taohua let out a sigh of relief.

This god's behavior was not that of an unreasonable person.

After all, if other gods had discovered their artifact, Taohua believed those gods would likely not even bother speaking to them before seizing it.

At the same time, wipe them out while you're at it.

"Your Excellency, this artifact is a treasure of our organization; we have no authority to give it to you," the man carrying a sword interjected, his expression looking very troubled.

"I will pay a price that satisfies you," Lin Chao looked at the two of them, "You should both be Legendary, right?

I have five powerful Legendary Techniques here that I can teach you. Once you have mastered these Legendary Techniques, your strength can increase by more than double!"

"This..."

Taohua and the man carrying a sword were moved.

After all, although this artifact was quite good, its utility was limited; how could it compare to an increase in their own strength?

Moreover, a powerhouse like the other party had no need to lie to them; he could simply snatch it away.

The two were incredibly tempted.

However, Taohua still calmed down, and she asked cautiously: "May I ask, Your Excellency... did you just Slay the God of White Wolves and another deity?"

Lin Chao looked at the two and, without concealing it, nodded.

Hearing this answer, Taohua and the man carrying a sword felt a shock in their hearts.

Lin Chao then looked at the two and said slowly: "You came to Pingkang City with a Compass; you must have been targeting the God of White Wolves, right?"

Seeing that she could not hide it, Taohua had no choice but to admit it.

"It seems there should be an organization behind you, likely all Legendary.

Your goal... is perhaps to hunt gods," Lin Chao looked at the two, easily deducing their identities.

After all, in this world, there are many Legendary who have no hope of ascending and live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, seeking a way to ascend to godhood.

Taohua and the man carrying a sword fit this identity very well.

Taohua and the man carrying a sword were only slightly surprised, and without concealing it, they nodded in admission.

"So, your organization probably has quite a few of these artifacts?" Lin Chao looked at the two and continued to speculate, "Your organization should... have been constantly detecting the location of the gods' true bodies.

Perhaps you even have the whereabouts of several gods.

If that is the case, I can cooperate with your organization."

"Cooperate?" Taohua was very surprised, felt a sense of joy, and then felt a trace of worry.

After all, the other party was an unknown deity.

Their strength was insufficient, and they had no right to talk to the other party on equal terms.

"Regarding the cooperation, you can contact the high-level members of your organization now.

The content of the cooperation is very simple: you give me a Compass and provide me with the whereabouts of some gods.

As a reward, I can help you take action once."

After Lin Chao finished speaking, he looked at the two with a calm expression.

"Take action once?" Taohua was very excited.

This deity was an existence capable of Slaying a god with Medium Divine Power.

For him to take action once, how precious that was.

"Please wait a moment, Your Excellency, I will contact the leader of our organization," Taohua immediately agreed.

Lin Chao's proposal was very tempting to her.

Their organization's goal was to hunt gods.

However, gods also have faction distinctions.

They could naturally cooperate with a god as well.

"Mm," Lin Chao responded.

At this moment, Taohua closed her eyes, seemingly using a special method of contact to communicate with the organization's leader.

"When there is a result, tap the Compass, and I will arrive," Lin Chao said softly, seeing Taohua close her eyes and fearing she would not finish contacting them for a while.

"Very well, Your Excellency," the man carrying a sword replied.

Lin Chao's figure disappeared at this moment.

Reappearing, his figure landed in the backyard of the Nikang Family.

Yuwen Zhanye was closing his eyes, seemingly recuperating from his injuries.

Seeing Lin Chao, Yuwen Zhanye opened his eyes, his face still carrying an excited expression: "Master."

After all, following the Master to Slay a god was the kind of thing that could make one's blood boil.

"How are your injuries?" Lin Chao asked with concern, then looked at the two divine corpses nearby.

The bodies of the God of Fire and the God of White Wolves were wrapped in Divine Power, so outsiders could not discover the anomaly here.

"Minor injuries, in another hour, I will be fully recovered," Yuwen Zhanye still felt some excitement in his heart.

"Mm," Lin Chao patted Yuwen Zhanye on the shoulder, "This time you went to the Kunan Orc Tribe and fought against the God of White Wolves; you have made many contributions.

The divine office and Divine Power of the God of White Wolves are somewhat compatible with yours; you should fuse with his Divine Power and divine office."

Lin Chao was not a selfish person and was also very generous.

Hearing this, Yuwen Zhanye was wild with joy, but he still said: "Compared to the Master's contributions, my efforts are merely trivial; I really dare not..."

"Do not decline; use the devoured Divine Power to improve your strength.

Later, I will have great use for you; your current strength is not yet powerful enough," Lin Chao instructed, his voice firm.
