“That’s it? Compromised?”
Standing at the foot of the ramshackle Mount Barbarian God, Han the Iron was at a loss of what to do. He was battered out of his senses.
The God of Barbarian, a being that was unconquerable to them, compromised to a mortal being? If their guardian could not protect them, then what was the point of worshiping the God of Barbarian?
That being said, Han the Iron did not say anything nor show any emotions. While he was at a loss and in fear, he still revered the God of Barbarian.
The God of Barbarian said in a depressing tone, “Human, what do you want. Since you have a certain knowledge of the Divinity, you should know that… Relics are off the table. That is a price I cannot pay.”
Even though he had expected this, Lu Li was disappointed. He did not name a price himself. After a moment of silence, he said, “I will help you preserve the energy of faith at the Barbarian Land of the North, and I promise you that no Barbarian Race civilians will be murdered. Han the Iron can continue his rule of the Barbarian Race; that is my promise. Now, what can you… offer me?”
Lu Li said his piece and let God of Barbarian to propose offers himself. In this way, Lu Li might stand to gain. After all, he had the final say. Back at the Lu City of Voodoo, Lu Li told the God of Sorcerer to decide and that led to Lu Li having the method of Stone Golems.
For a while, the God of Barbarian said nothing. Then, he proposed, “Human, your realm is low, but your future is promising. I think it is highly likely that you will come to the Divinity. When that happens, I will give you 10 Relics, and I will add you to the waitlist of my disciples. You will learn something from my group. What do you say?”
Lu Li rolled his eyes. The God of Sorcerer said he would accept Lu Li as his own protégé, but this God of Barbarian would only add Lu Li to a waitlist? Who did he think he was? A warrior of supremacy in the Divinity?
Lu Li sneered. “God of Barbarian, do not insult me. A mentor like you is nothing. Try something practical.”
“Nothing?”
The God of Barbarian was upset. “I am the guard of the Cloud Congregation Sect, the 10th largest sect at southern Divinity. On the List of Warriors at the Divinity, I am the top one million. I am a renowned warrior. So many people want me to become their mentor at the Divinity. How stupid are you?”
“I’ve met someone shameless but none like you!”
Lu Li was straight. “The 10th largest sect at southern Divinity. Where did you find the courage to brag about that? It’s not like you are from the top 10 sects of the entire Divinity. Also, the top one million on the list? Do you know no shame? We have a Warlord List here at the Great Land, and I am No.1 on that list. Have you seen me brag about it?”
“You know nothing!”
The God of Barbarian was fuming with rage. He bellowed, “How can you compare a Warlord List of a mortal world to the List of Warriors at the Divinity? Do you know how many immortals we have in the Divinity? The ones on the list are all powerful ones and even the top 10 million are qualified to be called powerhouses. Many immortals have been cultivating for a million years without being able to be listed. You are so ignorant, so annoying…”
The God of Barbarian was trying to show off, but Lu Li did not get the point at all. It was as if a rich guy had purchased an expensive piece of art and was bragging to a farmer, only, the farmer thought his stove poker was better than that piece of art…
Lu Li had some knowledge of the Divinity, but it was the first time he ever heard about the List of Warriors. Some immortals had been cultivating for a million years without getting listed? This list must represent some authority. What was the rank of Emperor of Heaven Reverse on that list? And God of Wings?
This was not the time to dwell on such issues. Lu Li said after a moment, “Don’t waste time on nonsense. Propose your offers. If you cannot satisfy me, then forget about the energy of faith in this place. I am a practical man. Don’t try to fool me…”
The God of Barbarian could do nothing about Lu Li. A moment later, the former said, “Don’t begin to think about Relics. I know many skills, but you cannot learn them now, so they are useless. Well… the Method of Shield I taught Han the Iron can be passed to you. Also, I can give you some skills for soul protection. Are you satisfied now?”
“Method of Shield? Soul protection?”
Lu Li was let down. His defensive power was already strong, and he had the Wicked Bead. Therefore, he did not care for the skills of protection. As for the skill of soul protection, it meant less to him on account of the silver dragon mark. Up till now, nobody was able to hurt him via soul attack.
Of course, the God of Barbarian was taking the initiative to provide those skills, and Lu Li would not say no. “The two skills are not enough. Do you have anything of offensive nature? Get me something I can learn and not the ones out of my reach.”
“No, just those two. Take it or leave it!” The God of Barbarian was determined. After all, he was being blackmailed by a mere mortal. If people at the Divinity heard about it, he would lose his dignity.
“There is no other way?”
Lu Li asked, sarcastically. Then, he burst into anger, “Dragon Demon, smash him. I don’t want those two petty skills!”
“Hoot, hoot~”
The Dragon Demon raised its head and galloped on. Once again, the Dragon Demon smashed into Mount Barbarian God. This time, the mountain was shaking even more violently. On the top of the mountain was a yellowish halo. The God of Barbarian used divine energy to reinforce this mountain in case it collapsed.
“Stop!”
The God of Barbarian was boiling with anger. “Human, do not cross the line. You will come to the Divinity sooner or later. If you set too many against yourself, you will be murdered before you know it.”
“I don’t care”
Lu Li seemed indifferent. “I can even tell you this. At the Heaven Reverse Universe, there are other alien races, Feather Race, Voodoo Race, and the Asmodians. I once destroyed an avatar of the god the Feather Race worshipped, and I have offended the God of Sorcerer as well. You are just another one on the tally. In the Divinity, you are probably all powerful. But I call the shots here at the Heaven Reverse Universe. You will have to crutch in a corner even if you are a dragon!”
It was “a dead mouse feels no cold” situation for Lu Li. He had displeased two immortals, and one more did not make much of a difference. The warriors of the nine universes would come soon. If he could not survive this, he would perish and going to the Divinity would be off the table.
What was more, even with the line diagram, Lu Li was not entirely confident that he could become an immortal. The business at the Divinity would be dealt with when he went there. He must take care of the matter at hand first.
Patriarch of Law Enforcement was rendered speechless by Lu Li’s firmness and stubbornness. That being said, Patriarch of Law Enforcement would not say a word and Lu Li would have to make the decisions.
For a time for half an incense stick to burn, the God of Barbarian said nothing. “I have skills of an offensive nature, but they are not good for you. Without divine energy, you will not be able to use them, and you might want to back out of the deal, thinking I have lied to you. How about this… you take some actions, and I can give you some instructions to help you improve. This is my final offer. If you are not satisfied, then go ahead and smash down Mount Barbarian God. I can let go of the energy of faith here, but when you come to the Divinity… hmm!”
“Instructions? Improved attacks?”
Lu Li was intrigued. His ultimate goal was to improve his abilities, which would happen for sure if an immortal could give him some guidance. This was a good deal.
“Okay!”
Lu Li did not dare to push too hard. The God of Barbarian must be hopping mad. To ask for more would incur a loss at both sides. He should know when to stop while he was ahead.
