Chapter 388: The Small Accounts Playing with the Heavenly King

"Are you thinking of leading me to the outside world and cutting off the Magpie Bridge so I cannot return?" The Lightning Heavenly King looked at the War God Body, smiling yet not smiling.

"How could that be? If the Heavenly King wishes to return, I can send the Heavenly King back at any time." The War God Body accompanied this with a fawning smile and said miserably, "Heavenly King, I am a Celestial. My Law Sacred Artifact was snatched away by Lin Bai. I am only dealing with him superficially to reclaim my own Law Sacred Artifact. If not for this, who would be willing to mingle with an alien? Those not of my race must have a different heart..."

The scene, which felt all too familiar, caused the corner of Nan Lingtian's eye to twitch involuntarily.

Once upon a time.

He had been fooled exactly like this!

"As far as I know, you only appeared after Lin Bai arrived in the Immortal World. And before you appeared, Lin Bai already possessed the Law Sacred Artifact." The Lightning Heavenly King laughed, "The so-called New Mother Body and the Tenth Heavenly King theory only appeared after he came to the Immortal World. And the new Celestials spread throughout the Immortal World who call themselves players did not originate from the New Mother Body. How do you explain this?"

"Heavenly King, I am not clear about the matter of the new Celestials, but I was indeed born from the Mother Body. The New Mother Body is in the Mortal World, so as soon as I was born, I suffered the suppression of the Heavenly Tribulation. As a result, I was interfered with by Lin Bai during Tribulation Transcendence, failed to pass the tribulation, and fell into a coma. I was extremely weak, which is why Lin Bai took the opportunity to snatch the Law Sacred Artifact. After that, I was sealed by him until I entered the Immortal World and regained my freedom." Recalling the past, the War God Body looked bewildered, "The mutation of the Mother Body, the new Celestials—these were all told to me by Lin Bai. What the specific truth is, or what state the Mother Body that birthed me is in now, I am also unclear..."

Good grief!

Yet another version!

Watching Xingtian, who had cleared himself of all blame with a single story, Nan Lingtian couldn't help but offer a word of praise. If he hadn't been tricked before, he probably would have fallen for it again.

The Lightning Heavenly King waited for the War God Body to finish speaking before nodding noncommittally: "Mm, I know now. Let's go!"

What does that mean?

Lin Bai, who was constantly monitoring the Lightning Heavenly King's expression, was confused by his attitude. Did he really not care, or was he pretending not to care?

Was he truly not afraid of being exiled to an alien world and being unable to return?

No.

There must be something he had overlooked.

Perhaps it wasn't overlooked; perhaps he simply didn't understand the Immortal World.

I fear that even Nan Lingtian and Long Tianxi don't know what the specific secret of the Heavenly King is...

After pondering for a moment, the War God Body asked: "Where to?"

"If I said I wanted to find Lin Bai, would you take me there?" The Lightning Heavenly King chuckled lightly, "Since you've fabricated such a tragic background for yourself, why not just take me to find Lin Bai? I'll help you take your revenge."

"Heavenly King, of course I want to find Lin Bai for revenge, but I cannot actively contact Lin Bai." The War God Body showed no embarrassment at being exposed and sighed, saying, "No Puppet has ever been able to reverse-control their master. I cannot even take you into the Mortal World."

"That settles it then. Just take me wherever you can," said the Lightning Heavenly King.

"Let's go to Shenmo Dalu. Lin Bai has not yet conquered that place; my permissions can only send you there," said the War God Body.

"Go." The Lightning Heavenly King nodded perfunctorily.

Finding the Bridge Guardian of the Magpie Bridge leading to Shenmo Dalu that he had left behind in Songshi City, the War God Body activated the Magpie Bridge on him.

The Magpie Bridge flew out from beneath the Bridge Guardian's feet and plunged straight into the depths of the sky.

Watching the suddenly appearing Magpie Bridge, the Lightning Heavenly King praised: "Other laws aside, this Magpie Bridge does indeed have its merits! Let's go!"

"Heavenly King, you can go yourself. The Magpie Bridge transmission requires contact with the Bridge Guardian. You have me locked in a Lightning Cage, so even if I wanted to go, I couldn't," said the War God Body.

The Lightning Heavenly King glanced at the War God Body, and the Lightning Cage vanished.

The Bridge Guardian was a Cultivator of the Justice Alliance. Under the pressure of the Lightning Heavenly King, his face turned deathly pale. He occasionally snuck a glance at the War God Body, not daring to speak.

The War God Body reached out and pressed his hand on the guardian's shoulder, then reached back to pull the Lightning Heavenly King: "Heavenly King, let's go!"

The Lightning Heavenly King looked at his hand and reached out to place his own hand on the Bridge Guardian's other shoulder: "Xingtian, your intentions are clear to me at a glance. Do not pull any small tricks in front of me in the future."

"The Heavenly King overthinks." The War God Body retracted his hand nonchalantly and gave a simple, honest smile, "With my meager abilities, how could I possibly harm the Heavenly King!"

He recalled the scene where he had been flicked away by lightning just now. At that time, it wasn't that Absolute Suppression had lost its effect.

It was that he hadn't even touched the Lightning Heavenly King's skin before being struck away by lightning; it seemed an invisible current was constantly flowing around the exterior of the Lightning Heavenly King's body.

In other words, if he could break the defensive current on him, Absolute Suppression could be applied directly to him.

With two big shots grabbing his shoulders, cold sweat broke out on the Bridge Guardian, and he stood rooted to the spot, not daring to move.

The War God Body said: "Let's go. The dignified Lightning Heavenly King of the Immortal World wouldn't make things difficult for a small fry like you. He still expects to rely on your Magpie Bridge to return!" He looked at the Lightning Heavenly King again and asked with a smile, "Just us few going? Not bringing a few guards?"

The Lightning Heavenly King was forced to smile and swept a sharp look at the War God Body: "Speak when you speak, but you are not allowed to smile at me in the future. Do not run your mouth about things I haven't ordered."

"..." The War God Body smiled again, his smile filled with fawning, "Heavenly King, this is a fawning smile; I can't help it."

The Lightning Heavenly King was forced to follow suit and reveal a fawning smile. Once the War God Body restrained his smile, he couldn't help but glare at him fiercely. Once or twice was novel, but being forced to smile every time was quite annoying—these disgusting laws!

【Resentment from Beigui; +1 +1 +1...】

Beigui?

Is that the Lightning Heavenly King's name?

However, knowing a name was of no use. Even the God of Curses could not curse someone through a name alone, and he lacked the ability to Provocation across realms.

Otherwise, he could have glitched him to death.

The Bridge Guardian wore a bitter smile as he led the two onto the Magpie Bridge.

In an instant.

The three arrived at Shenmo Dalu.

Just as they stepped off the Magpie Bridge, the Lightning Cage reappeared on the War God Body.

The War God Body said helplessly: "Heavenly King, there's no need to be so cautious! I can't run away. Carrying such a large lightning cage is too conspicuous."

"It truly is a brand-new world." The Lightning Heavenly King ignored the War God Body. He gazed at the scenery of Shenmo Dalu and suddenly asked, "Who is the strongest person in this world? Take me to find him; I want to have a talk with him."

Damn, he's arrogant!

Shengji Sect.

Lin Bai was filled with infinite emotion.

Reckless and unconcerned, going straight to fight the world's strongest—the Immortal World's Heavenly King really had much more confidence than him.

"The most powerful beings in this world should be the gods. I have never been to this world before, so I don't know who their strongest is, nor do I know where they live. We can find someone to ask."

Lin Bai desperately wanted to let the Lightning Heavenly King go and fight the Holy Light God or the War God until both sides were heavily injured, then reap the rewards. But it wasn't possible yet; his strength was insufficient. The Card System couldn't seal a Heavenly King by skipping two realms; he had to at least seal someone in the Star Brilliance Realm first.

"That works too." The Lightning Heavenly King nodded. With one step, he arrived above Free City. Countless bolts of lightning dispersed from behind him, forming an electric net that shrouded the entire Free City. Standing at the center of the electric net, he looked down at the city below with majestic authority and shouted, "Who is the Main Hall Master in this city? Come out and see me."

Damn it!

Is this the Law of Lightning?

This guy is equivalent to carrying a major Heavenly Tribulation around with him!

Seeing this scene, the War God Body couldn't help but widen its eyes; even lightning could be frozen under his control—how the hell is one supposed to fight this?

Compared to such a cool and flashy Law, the System Skills he had mastered seemed a bit too low-tier; not a single one was presentable.

Missiles carpet-bombing the ground, wiping out the Third Priest Legion, a four-winged angel taking out many modernized armies, Lin Bai's grand wedding, the severing of all Magpie Bridges, and John mediating in the midst of it all... With all these events converging, Free City was unprecedentedly calm at this moment, and both sides of the war were maintaining reason and restraint.

The Lightning Cage that suddenly appeared over Free City terrified the residents of the city; the countless entwined lightning bolts were even more terrifying than missiles, and many citizens couldn't help but kneel on the ground, praying to the gods.

Players from the Western Continent whispered as they watched the Heavenly King of Lightning in the sky, guessing his origins. Ever since those officials in the Parliament whose heads were full of maggots laid the Magpie Bridge to Shenmo Dalu and rashly started a war, things had become increasingly uncontrollable.

If their guess was correct, the powerful man in the sky controlling lightning must have been brought here by Lin Bai again...

Why are you messing around instead of having fun at home with your wife after getting married!

There isn't even a shred of the joy of playing a game left!

City Lord Sangdeli was practically going crazy. Starting a few days ago, his Free City had been plagued by one disaster after another. He couldn't understand why these powerful outsiders had all chosen his tiny little town.

"My God." Zhuzhao Garnett looked at the Heavenly King of Lightning in the sky, his heart filled with despair. He looked at John for help, "Mr. John, who is that powerful man?"

"A God of Thunder from another world." John glanced at Garnett and said gloomily, "He wants to duel your gods. Why don't you go tell him where your Holy Light god lives? I see this guy has a bad temper; if things don't go his way, he might just slaughter the city."

"..." Garnett's face turned even paler. He stammered, "Mr. John, but I don't understand his language. You are currently the most powerful person in this city, why don't you be the one to liaise with him!"

"Are you sure?" John looked at Garnett in surprise, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

Garnett looked at John, his heart thumping twice, and tentatively said, "Mr. John, perhaps we could lead him to the Mist Forest of the God of Darkness..."

"That's a good idea. Actually, that's exactly what I was thinking just now. If you let me go up, I'll lead him directly to the temple of the God of Holy Light." John snapped his fingers and smiled at Garnett, "Zhuzhao, I've waited two days for you, and you haven't revealed any information about the gods to me. As soon as that lightning-player up there appeared, you knew everything. You aren't being honest!"

Garnett broke out in a cold sweat: "Mr. John, you didn't ask me either!"

I'm damn busy with my wedding night, who the hell has the heart to care about your gods... Lin Bai thought to himself, then said, "Give me a copy of the god information you've collected, and I'll help you deal with the guy overhead."

Garnett sighed, turned, and left. A moment later, he returned with a piece of parchment: "Mr. John, these parchments record the information of all the gods in Shenmo Dalu; I copied them down over the last two days. This is just a rough overview; higher-level secrets are in the hands of the Pope. Many things have happened in Free City these days, and I haven't had time to contact the Pope yet."

John reached out to take the parchment.

Garnett pulled his hand back: "Mr. John, this information was originally prepared for Alliance Leader Lin. I can let you see it first, but I hope you will keep your promise and lead the God of Thunder from the other world to the God of Darkness, not the Holy Light Temple."

"No problem." John readily agreed, took the parchments from Garnett's hand, and scanned through them at a glance.

Shengji Sect.

Lin Bai committed all the information to his memory; his powerful Mental Power had long since given him the ability to never forget what he had seen.

Looking at the information on those gods, a rough plan gradually took shape in his mind. When one's strength is inferior to the enemy's, one might as well act as a strategist.

"Main Hall Master, come out and see me, otherwise, I will slaughter this town." The Heavenly King of Lightning roared.

The lightning behind him fell upon the buildings and tall trees in the city along with his roar. The buildings were destroyed by the lightning, and the trees were struck, turning into charred wood and emitting thick black smoke. The city was filled with wailing and howling.

The Heavenly King of Lightning's act of releasing lightning to destroy the city confirmed Lin Bai's claim. Hearing the cries outside, Garnett said urgently, "Mr. John, please hurry, that demon god is already enraged."

At this moment.

Lin Bai had also finished reading all the information on the gods. He used a split Spirit to control John's body and used the Magic Floating Technique to fly toward the Heavenly King of Lightning in the sky.

He did not reveal the fact that he could use Flash.

As John flew, he shouted, "Great Heavenly King, please temporarily extinguish your thunderous rage. The people in this city do not understand your language; they pushed me out to listen to your instructions."

"Who are you?" the Heavenly King of Lightning asked, "How do you know I am a Heavenly King?"

"I am a player named John." The split Spirit said, "Lin Bai of the Justice Alliance has released a lot of information about the Immortal World to the public. I recognized at a glance that you are a Celestial from the Immortal World. Possessing such powerful strength, you must be a Heavenly King among the Celestials."

"A player, huh!" The Heavenly King of Lightning looked at John and suddenly smiled, "Since you are a player, you must have some understanding of this world."

"I haven't been in the game for long and don't know much about the game's background, but just now, with the help of your prestige, I obtained a list of gods from the City Lord." John shook the parchment in his hand and bowed slightly to the Heavenly King of Lightning, "The gods rule this world; they are the kings of the world. With your power, you should go directly to challenge the gods. I am willing to lead the way for you and help you translate the languages of both sides. You only need to share a small portion of the spoils with me after you defeat those gods, and I will be satisfied."
