Chapter 2444: Chapter 1100: Audience with the King, Death Divination! (Part 2)

When Lin Baici was resting earlier, he discussed the matter of gifts with Gu Qingqiu and San Miyairi.

What splendid things has a king not seen?

Luminous pearl, Fish Intestine Sword...

Including beauties and fine steeds, any king likely possesses an abundance of such items. Thus, Lin Baici decided to change his plan and exchanged the Fish Intestine Sword for the Ask God Turtle Shell.

This item is from the pre-Qin era and can perform divination, which might pique the king’s interest.

Moreover, if the king uses the Ask God Turtle Shell for divination, perhaps this taboo thing could speak favorably for everyone.

"Oh?"

The king showed interest: "Can this item really divine fortune and misfortune?"

"Yes!"

Xia Hongyao nodded.

The crowd observed that the king did not show displeasure or order the armored soldiers to kill, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

They still need to rely on God Lin!

The dead youth had a few people beside him stained with his blood, not daring to wipe it away, just glancing at the corpse from the corner of their eyes, feeling emotional.

What a pointless death!

If you had remained calm and not spoken rashly, waiting for God Lin to act, you wouldn’t have died.

"Then divine, will it die?"

The king pointed with his finger.

The crowd instinctively looked up, wanting to see who the king was referring to, and then they saw a middle-aged man wearing a black profound robe.

His face was withered, and even wearing a golden crown couldn’t suppress that aura of death emanating from him.

At this moment, his finger was pointing downward.

The crowd uneasily shifted their bodies, following the king’s finger, and then gasped.

It was Lin Baici.

Wang Helin frowned deeply.

He knew trouble was coming!

This king clearly had a capricious temperament and didn’t play by the rules.

If Xia Hongyao divines that Lin Baici will not die, the king would kill Lin Baici, indicating that the divination is inaccurate. But if Xia Hongyao says Lin Baici will die, then what?

If Lin Baici doesn’t die, it signifies the Ask God Turtle Shell is inaccurate, using such tributes to fool the king, the entire envoy would deserve to be dismembered and their bodies exposed in the wilderness.

But allowing Lin Baici to die...

Xia Hongyao, Gu Qingqiu, and these people certainly would not agree!

Damn it!

Even the usually calm and steady Wang Helin couldn’t help but curse in his heart at this moment.

This king is vicious, immediately recognizing Lin Baici’s status in this team, as the core figure, thus choosing him.

"Uh..."

As expected, Xia Hongyao froze, turning her head to glance at Lin Baici.

Gu Qingqiu and San Miyairi also racked their brains for a solution to break the predicament.

"What’s wrong?"

The king sneered: "Can’t divine it?"

Swish!

In the grand hall, all the armored soldiers took a step forward in unison, exuding an overwhelming sense of death.

Clearly, if Xia Hongyao didn’t perform the divination soon, she would die.

"My King, how about letting me divine?"

Lin Baici spoke up.

He didn’t dare let Xia Hongyao continue, mainly because her ability to adapt was lacking, and he feared the king might kill her.

"Oh?"

The king looked at Lin Baici with some interest: "Divine your own fate?"

"Interesting!"

"Then you do it!"

The king sat on the Dragon Chair, his right arm resting on the armrest, his right hand half open, supporting his cheek.

The king didn’t care about gifts; he was just bored and wanted entertainment.

The more interesting, the better!

Wang Helin’s worry was precisely what the king wanted to provoke.

After all, divination couldn’t be accurate.

Lin Baici picked up the turtle shell, infused it with divine power, then closed his eyes and chanted a few ’incantations’ as if acting, before tossing the Ask God Turtle Shell into the air.

Thump!

The turtle shell fell to the ground.

After waiting for about three seconds, the turtle shell spoke.

"Kneel with all five bodies and offer the three sacrifices, not respecting Heaven, but the spirits!"

"Your fate, today is extremely ominous!"

The king waited a while longer, seeing that the turtle shell said nothing more, and frowned.

"Is that all?"

The king showed signs of anger: "I asked whether you would die!"

"Let me try again!"

Seeing he couldn’t bluff his way through and that the king required a clear answer, Lin Baici resolved to proceed.

He took a deep breath and picked up the Divine Turtle Shell for divination.

"Turtle Shell, give me a reading!"

Lin Baici finished speaking, without injecting Divine Power or using external interference, he allowed the Divine Turtle Shell to perform a life and death divination of its own intent.

Clatter!

The turtle shell fell to the ground.

After waiting a few seconds, it spoke.

"Kneel with five bodies and offer three sacrifices, honoring not the heavens but the ghosts and gods!"

"Very bad! Very bad! Very bad!"

"Before the banquet ends, thou shalt surely die!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked serious.

Will even God Lin die?

"Haha, interesting! Interesting!"

The king laughed, picked up the bronze goblet before him, and took a sip of wine: "It seems you’ve truly divined for yourself!"

"It says thou shalt die before the banquet ends, how does that feel?"

"I think it is correct!"

Lin Baici smiled.

"Art thou not afraid?"

"When I entered this Wang Cheng, I knew that today, there was a high probability I would die!"

Xia Hongyao thought Lin Baici was just putting on an act to deceive the king, but Gu Qingqiu and San Miyairi both heard Lin Baici’s determination.

This kid is going to use his life to fight with everything he has!

If he wins,

he’ll achieve the Godslayer feat!

If he loses,

it’s all over!

"This turtle shell says thou shalt die before the banquet ends, dost thou think that I shan’t take thy life now?"

The king burst into laughter: "Dost thou hope to use these few hours to desperately cling to life?"

"Ha, I shall not allow thee such satisfaction!"

"Now, I demand thy head!"

Hiss!

The crowd was all shocked and tensed up; how could they play like this?

Go straight at it forcefully,

kill the king?

Just then, they heard the king speak again.

"Of course, I’m not a tyrant, so I’ll give thee a choice!"

"If thou chooseth these people to die, I will let thee return home and reward thee with ten thousand gold!"

The people the king spoke of were the others besides Lin Baici.

[Think carefully, don’t rashly answer this, this god is serious!]

Upon hearing the Eater God’s comment, Lin Baici raised an eyebrow and couldn’t help but retort in his heart.

’No one from the Qin Palace has ever survived, can it let me go?’

[It has seen that Xia Hongyao, Kim Myungjin, Hua Yue Yu are the people thou cherishes most. If thou chooseth their deaths, then thy existence as a human loses meaning!]

[Thou wilt live forever in regret, unable to extract oneself from the pain, which is far more interesting to it than thy death.]

[Certainly, without me along the way from the Royal Palace to God’s ruins, thou wouldst constantly face pursuit and probably not make it out!]

Not everyone has a hunger radar to find their way out.

Before Lin Baici, there were God Hunters who saw this king and were pardoned, but those dozen lucky ones never found their way out. They kept walking and endlessly trapped in the rules pollution until finally, their bodies were riddled with wounds from the gods’ polluted radiation, dying by the roadside.

Even a Dragon Level giant, staying long-term in this Divine Ruins, would be completely polluted.

Everyone was instantly tense, looking at Lin Baici.

Some feared Lin Baici would be frightened by the Dragon Level experts’ heads beneath the grapevine, choosing to leave, so even knowing the danger, they couldn’t help but warn.

"God Lin, it must be lying to you!"

"Don’t abandon us!"

"God Xia and God Gu are thy beloved relatives and friends, canst thou bear to see them die?"

People murmured.

The king sipped his wine, watching them.

This time, it didn’t order the armored soldiers to kill because this scene was amusing, something it wanted to see.

It even hoped to see someone jump up and stop Lin Baici, fighting like stray dogs would be better.

"Thou, will the king really let Little Bai go?"

Hua Yue Yu suddenly spoke, startling everyone.

"To this day, no one has gone out alive!"

Kim Myungjin added.

"I cannot promise it will leave my domain, but I can guarantee it can leave this Royal Palace alive!"

The king promised, watching the two girls with interest.

It saw through their desire to save that youth.

"Little Bai..."

Hua Yue Yu wanted Lin Baici to leave because the heads beneath the grapevine had truly terrified her.
