Chapter 395

Li Yu didn't expect that just as he was about to reel in his rod and leave, the Toad God would squeeze in at this moment.

Hurriedly coming over, he asked in the void above Li Yu's head:

"Is it over?"

"How many times did you succeed?"

"These little things are all ferocious existences to you, so it's not strange to fail."

The Toad God, as Li Yu's number one benefactor, could be said to know him inside and out.

He knew that Li Yu could hang transcendent beings of the level of Zuo Cikui and Qiaosefu on his fishhook, and if he was lucky enough to catch up with the fated opportunity of performing a cesarean section for Nie Fozi, he could also earn a big one.

But to go and fish for this crowd of Boundless Heaven's Prides in earnest was truly a bit of a stretch.

Perhaps he could luckily succeed with a few, but failure was the high-probability event.

Therefore, it was normal for him to ask like this.

Until Li Yu told him the "results," he immediately felt that the gaze on him had become much heavier. Vaguely, Li Yu seemed to be able to see the Toad God's pair of toad eyes, which were wide with surprise and regret.

As a top-tier fisherman.

Showing off one's harvest is truly the most reasonable thing.

And his battle record this time was indeed very astonishing, although they were all just initially fished up, and the pollution and erosion were far from reaching the level of bait fish like Zuo Cikui and Nie Fozi.

But as long as they weren't discovered, and Li Yu himself didn't die halfway, as time passed, eventually, none of them would be able to escape Li Yu's palm.

And after the Toad God learned of all of Li Yu's methods, he also gave a very high evaluation:

"Bold, and lucky."

"The future is hard to say, but as of now, you are indeed the most outstanding True Monarch of Bait-Eating in the Spirit Venerable path."

"However, this shouldn't be your limit; you can do even better."

"For example, fish up all the 【Children of the World】."

"Hmm?"

When Li Yu heard the spiritual response that followed, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

What is this number one benefactor, the Toad God, trying to do?

Does he feel that he didn't get to watch the fun, so he is inciting Li Yu to continue performing, to continue courting death?

His suspicion quickly dissipated by more than half, following the secret information subsequently transmitted by the Toad God.

The latter brought some hidden news regarding the plans of the Lord of the Curtain, the Ancient Saint, the Lord of Ten Thousand Changes, and other Sovereign-level Evil Gods.

Of course, at the level of the Boundless Gods outside the present world, it can no longer be considered a secret, but a blatant scheme.

Translated into human language, the general idea is:

"The Evil Gods have also guessed that the Righteous Gods vaguely know about the 【Present World Collapse Plan】 and must have also prepared countermeasures."

"But they don't care; smashing open the defense with Star Gates and World Engines was just the beginning of the plan."

"What truly takes effect is the tactic of using numbers to bully the few."

"Who can win the war?"

"Perhaps in some special wars, some strange strategies and accidents will appear, leading the war to take an alternative direction."

"The victors of most wars are the side with more people."

"Therefore, the two major promoters, the Ancient Saint and the Lord of the Curtain, as long as they can maintain the Star Gate in a state of being open, naturally there will be an endless stream of Evil Gods squeezing in to help fight."

"As for how to maintain the entrance being open all the time?"

"The Ancient Saint and the Lord of the Curtain have their own grasp of it and haven't leaked it, so the Toad God doesn't know either."

"He only guesses: the key lies in those Children of the World."

After Li Yu parsed this, he didn't feel surprised at all; in fact, he had expected it long ago.

On both the righteous and evil sides, there is not a single blindly idiotic god; they have back-and-forth exchanges, and their follow-up moves are endless, which is truly as normal as can be.

The righteous god side seems to be at a disadvantage in terms of schemes and calculations, after all, on the surface, there isn't one who holds relevant authority.

But when calculated seriously, it is found to be completely the opposite.

The Red God is the supreme God of War, skilled in military strategy and strong in attack.

The Buddha has supreme great wisdom and can illuminate the heavens; all kinds of schemes cannot fall upon him.

The Earth Mother is compassionate, tolerating all things and all spirits, and naturally has extraordinary spiritual responses.

The Demon-Slaying Heavenly Venerable can break ten thousand laws, and all evils cannot invade.

As for Haotian, since he dares to say he is the strongest righteous god, naturally he has no flaws.

And the "Heavenly Work God," who has already been confirmed dead, according to the Spirit Venerable, was a super-intelligence that could truly calculate the Boundless Spirit Realm; how could he not have left behind enough follow-up moves?

And on the Evil God side, there is even less need to say.

The "old silver coins" that can be counted in the Boundless Spirit Realm, except for the Spirit Venerable who died halfway, are all in the Evil God camp.

"The righteous and evil sides are calculating against each other; heaven knows how many times they have fought in secret. Until the last moment, the winner cannot be determined at all."

"With my current combat power, I cannot intervene in other aspects at all."

"The only opportunity is indeed as the Toad God said, to hang all these 【Children of the World】 on my fishhook. Who knows, at a critical moment, it might have some effect?"

Li Yu pondered, but was still hesitating.

Because he truly had no grasp of being able to fish up those ferocious demigods like Chen Xing, Daoist Si Ji, and the Undying Blade.

If they were really caught by them and hunted down, even escaping would be difficult.

Most importantly!

The merit points have already been spent almost entirely.

Of the three million-plus points, now less than 100,000 remain.

Even if he has the heart to continue fishing, he must have merit points to buy bait.

His hesitation was naturally immediately seen by the Toad God. As the number one fun-loving god of the Boundless Spirit Realm, in order to watch the good shows of the heavens and worlds, he can manage to watch every plane of the multiverse at the same time.

For example, right now, while inciting Li Yu, his avatars or projections are also watching the fun of other worlds, acting as the number one benefactor for other creatures.

If there is fun, he wants to watch.

If there is no fun, then he will actively create fun.

Ferocious demigods like Chen Xing, the Undying Blade, and Daoist Si Ji can be considered powerhouses in the three major multiverses.

But in the eyes of the Toad God, they don't count for much.

And so, in the next second, Li Yu received a huge reward in advance, which translated into human language is like this:

"The bait needed for fishing will all be provided by me."

"In addition, I will bestow a blessing upon you; in the next twelve hours, you will gain a luck bonus."

"Turn bad luck into good, and great disasters will not invade."

Once this promise and guarantee came, it was equivalent to him having no risks, and the success rate greatly increased.

How could Li Yu refuse?

Without the slightest delay, he directly chose to agree.

The Toad God's blessing 【Luck Halo】 only lasts for twelve hours, naturally because the artifact 【Gate of All Realms】, which serves as the arena for the chaotic battle, is estimated to be formed in twelve hours.

At that time, he will have no more opportunities to take action.

The methods of the True Monarch of Bait-Eating are indeed hidden and strange, but they also have limits.

If one wants to fish under the noses of gods including the Ancient Saint, the Lord of the Curtain, the Lord of Ten Thousand Changes, the Foolish God, etc., even if the Spirit Venerable were resurrected, it would be difficult to do, let alone him, Li Yu.

Time was tight; after Li Yu agreed, he immediately began to plan to take action against those few demigods.

Each one was very difficult to deal with, and it was almost impossible to distinguish who was stronger.

Li Yu had previously tried to fish for that "Chen Xing," a follower of the Lord of All Lights, a giant of light from the Golden Race.

The method used was to spend 200,000 merit points to redeem a sub-adult light worm, using narrative authority plus the Spirit Venerable's methods to successfully deceive Chen Xing into eating the light worm.

However, Chen Xing's speed of digesting the light worm was shocking, and he refined it almost in the blink of an eye.

If it weren't for Li Yu's quick reaction, letting the bait thread self-destruct in advance, he would have been dragged out by the giant of light.

It is also controlling others as puppets!

Li Yu, as the True Monarch of Bait-Eating, and Zuo Cikui, as the puppet master of the past and present.

In terms of methods, they are quite similar.

In short, they all need time to let the bait threads and puppet threads invade, and they cannot be discovered in the process.

Although Li Yu, as the most special True Monarch in history, has methods that crush Zuo Cikui, he still needs a period of time to operate.

The other big fish fished up by Li Yu all gave more or less gaps.

Only Chen Xing!

Didn't give any.

So no matter how many "light worms" Li Yu sent for Chen Xing to swallow, he couldn't pollute him, and it was just sending food in vain.

And since Chen Xing is like this, the other few demigods, Daoist Si Ji, the Undying Blade, etc., are mostly the same.

This is the reason why Li Yu wanted to give up.

And after Li Yu told the Toad God about this predicament.

The luck halo seemed to have taken effect.

A spiritual response containing a happy and proud toad croak entered Li Yu's mind,

Translated, it was actually another piece of secret information:

"Why are light worms the favorite food of the 【Lord of All Lights】 and his followers? It is because this creature is full of light radiation, which is incomparably delicious to them and can be digested in an instant."

"But there is one thing they also like incomparably, only they can't get it."

"That is the 【Moon Toad】, one of the followers under my command, a creature that grows by swallowing light radiation. Although it can quickly become powerful, the price and side effects to be paid are not small. For example, their souls will always be in a pain of being burned."

"Only some wonders or creatures that fuse light and dark radiation can alleviate this pain, such as the Moon Toad, such as Lunar Marrow, or something like the Dark Female Beast."

"I will bestow upon you a Moon Toad; it has lived for quite a long time, is extremely difficult to digest, and loves to croak very much. It should be able to help you."

When this spiritual response ended.

Li Yu immediately felt something in his heart and opened the Toad God's secret scroll, a wonder previously gifted by the Toad God. Sure enough, he saw an originally gray illustration inside, which was now bright.

It was a toad whose whole body was dark blue, as if cast from ten-thousand-year-old ice.

On its forehead, there was also a mark of the Lunar Moon.

Only its vivid expression made Li Yu feel that it was a bit cheeky for some reason.

Li Yu knew that he could summon it with a single thought.

But he didn't act immediately, because the note below the Moon Toad made him afraid to act rashly.

"Is this still a Moon Toad Elder?"

"It is very unpopular within the ethnic group, because other Moon Toads all love quiet, only it likes to croak randomly, and its croak is particularly harsh, making people's souls uneasy."

"So it's a thorn in the side of the ethnic group?"

"But using it to fish for 【Chen Xing】 is truly a perfect match."

When Li Yu muttered, a scene had already been anticipated in his mind.

It was this Moon Toad, carrying a large amount of Li Yu's bait threads, being swallowed into Chen Xing's belly, but unable to digest it quickly.

Although the soul pain was alleviated because of it, the annoying croaking sound was another side effect, making Chen Xing unable to maintain focus, and his vigilance would also be at an unprecedented low, which was simply perfect.
