Chapter 187

Saying everything has to wait until after we two communicate with the heavenly god before it can be done; right now there's simply no way, even if you insist on seeing us it's useless.

Seeing you is only to make you give up; also, don't speak to us in that tone anymore, otherwise we will punish you on behalf of the gods, letting you suffer eternal damnation and die without a burial place.

Grasslands people, Divine Might Heaven (honorific)

Another is a middle-aged man who just sits nearby, eyes closed, not speaking; the Grasslands people call him the Silent Venerable—don't think his silence means nothing, actually his character design is that his words represent the lofty god above.

That is to say, normally in front of these Grasslands people and these tribal chiefs, he does not speak; everything is handed over to the so-called Divine Might Heaven, and he just plays mute.

Alright, Heavenly God, others may not know, but don't I know? Back then you two were criminals expelled and fleeing from the mainland.

If it weren't for arriving in the Grasslands and getting lucky to become this Heavenly God Messenger, I would have likely starved to death there long ago; I can verify all this, but the Grasslands youths need a deity to sustain their faith.

My not speaking doesn't mean I don't know what you really are; now you have no choice but to bring the other three Divine Officials and follow us into battle.

Don't think I'm unaware; what you two received is the inheritance of the two most famous Divine Officials from our Grasslands centuries ago, and their specialty is controlling poisonous insects.

And over these years, your so-called divine feats have all been accomplished using poisonous insects; now is a matter of survival for my Grasslands, if you still want to be this Heavenly God, stop making excuses.

Otherwise, soon everyone on the Grasslands will know that you two so-called Heavenly Gods are merely two criminals from the Great Zhou, continually deceiving the Grasslands populace.

Perhaps you aren't afraid, but before the Great Feng completely occupies the Grasslands, the Grasslands youths will make you experience what it means to wish for death over life.

Qier Dongyue's threat left those two Heavenly Gods silent; these years they thought they had acted flawlessly, with all tribal chiefs sincerely believing them, never expecting that this smartest one would find out everything.

Since you already know, you should understand that we simply cannot win; do you want them to go to their deaths, or do you want us to accompany you to die together?

Now the best course is surrender; that's not difficult, right? Why are you so eager to lead troops into battle?

Having her thoughts exposed, Qier Dongyue felt nothing wrong with speaking, instead her face showed a sinister expression.

There are too many tribes on the Grasslands; we always need to clear some land. Once those who deserve to die have died, I will naturally choose surrender—but not now.

Divine Might Heaven understood, and the Silent Venerable also realized; bluntly, they plan to use this opportunity to eliminate some of the Grasslands' ten major tribes, and themselves can do so without bloodshed. Finally, they would bring everyone to surrender, possibly even becoming the lord of the Grasslands.

If you do this and others find out, do you think your tribe could still exist? Throughout history there have been many with wolfish ambitions, but few have met a good end.

Besides, even if you actually succeeded, do you think Shen Tianxing would agree to let you rule the entire Grasslands while submitting to him? If he found out, he'd probably demand your life first.

You don't need to worry about this; in short, you two must agree to act together. Of course, on the battlefield you can stay back a bit—you don't necessarily have to rush forward to die.

As for dealing with those grandmasters, you just need to ensure you can block them; even if you fail, given their numbers, no one will really blame you, after all you aren't true gods.

Divine Might Heaven and the Silent Venerable remained silent; over these years, although they feigned divinity to deceive the Grasslands folk, they have done many practical things for them, improving their lives.

Of course, these actions mainly served to solidify their claim of being heavenly gods, and at the same time, to avoid exposing their identities, they used all their ability to stop these people from going to war with the Great Zhou.

Anyway, speaking honestly, they aren't really bad people; one could even say they have made outstanding contributions to the Grasslands.

We can agree to your request, but with one condition: after success, we still want to remain the Heavenly God Messengers of this Grasslands.

Divine Might Heaven chose to agree—actually he had no choice—and the Silent Venerable also nodded.

Good, then I'll go out and announce that the two Heavenly Gods are willing to join us in the expedition, and that the two Heavenly Gods will bring three Divine Officials to deal with those grandmaster experts.

Divine Might Heaven and the Silent Venerable could only nod in agreement; Qier Dongyue then showed a satisfied smile, then went out to announce this.

Heavenly God, wise and brilliant—let's go forth, we will win.

The chiefs of the ten major tribes shouted in unison, of course including Qier Dongyue; this group, stirred with fervor, produced an exceptionally good effect.

Shen Tianxing here still doesn't know the situation; he has trained for half a month to reach this level, now he is at the fourth tier of Land Immortal, with basic combat power already reaching 90,000.

No. 18 Xiao Li, moreover, having absorbed a lot of the lingering energy of the sea monsters, has now reached the eighth tier of Land Immortal, with basic combat power of 170,000, far stronger than Shen Tianxing.

This speed is still a bit slow, huh—only reaching the fourth tier of Land Immortal after half a month; if we keep going like this, I'm afraid it'll take several more months to reach Perfection of Land Immortal.

Shen Tianxing feels helpless; the current situation is that at first killing a first-tier Land Immortal sea monster yields 10% Martial Arts Experience, but once he reaches Land Immortal himself, it drops to 5% Martial Arts Experience.

At the second tier it's down to 3%, at the third tier 2%, and now at the fourth tier only 1% remains—meaning that by the time he breaks through to the fifth tier, killing a first-tier Land Immortal sea monster will likely give no Martial Arts Experience at all.

There's no way around it; the dungeon is currently only half-open, unable to enter the second layer, so at most you can only grind five batches of experience to reach the fifth tier of Land Immortal.

Xiao Yu said she also could do nothing; Shen Tianxing nodded without any resentment, since this is essentially exploiting a system bug—reaching the fifth tier of Land Immortal should already be satisfactory.

You say, if we were to bring those grandmaster experts here and have them grind these sea monsters in this black mist, wouldn't that also improve their Martial Dao Realm?

Shen Tianxing suddenly had a brainwave; Xiao Yu didn't answer, just threw back a question.

They're not like you—entering the black house won't poison them; do you want them to be poisoned to death?

Isn't this simple? The System Mall has an Antidote Pill; taking one guarantees no poisoning for twelve two-hour periods, and it's not expensive—only ten thousand Killing Value.

As long as it's useful, I don't mind spending that much Killing Value; anyway, I can earn it back by killing a few more sea monsters.
