Dawn of a New Era-Chapter 579 - 553: Where Is the Trust Between People? (Part 1)
Fortunately, perhaps thinking that you can escape the monk but not the temple.
Not long after, the aura of Divine Power spread again, and these followers, the strongest of whom were only at the Martial Artist Level, had no power to resist. Their eyes quickly turned hazy, as if they were in a dream.
Before long, a seventy to eighty-year-old elderly woman staggered into the temple.
Chen Shouyi glanced over.
She was exuding a clear, dazzling light that was invisible to the naked eye. There was no doubt that the God of Conspiracy and Enchantment had descended.
Only... this was deliberate, wasn’t it!
As soon as she saw Chen Shouyi, she gave a fawning smile, revealing a mouthful of... gums. Her wrinkled face almost squeezed into a chrysanthemum as she cautiously probed, "Honorable sir, you should have seen the envoy I sent. From now on, we are on the same side... May I ask what brings you here this time?"
"Don’t worry, I’m not here to kill you. I just came to ask, what exactly was that thing you gave me last time?" Chen Shouyi asked patiently for once.
"This is the Essence of the Divine Soul from the Old Gods!" The God of Conspiracy’s face turned even more obsequious: "It’s only found where the Old Gods have fallen, extremely valuable!"
"Is there more?" Chen Shouyi inquired.
"No, that was the last of what I had, and I gave it all to you." The God of Conspiracy said with a compensating smile.
"Really none left, you’re a liar, I can’t believe you!" Chen Shouyi said.
"I swear, I truly did not deceive you, but I know where there are more." The God of Conspiracy hastily replied.
He chuckled malevolently in his heart.
Keep asking!
Quickly, ask more!
Just ask!
I’ll tell you everything.
In fact, although he holds the Divine Position of Conspiracy and Enchantment and can even somewhat interfere with fate and prophecy, he finds it hard to use these in the otherworld, because each god’s realm of belief is an independent kingdom, and no one believes in him. Instead, he uses open plots most of all.
This isn’t poison, but an unparalleled treasure useful for even a True God’s Divine Soul. In the face of a supernatural creature that could kill him, he dares not use any tricks, fearing it would backfire if detected.
It’s just that the area is known as the Gods’ Tomb, the site of an ancient battlefield. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
It’s said that many Old Gods fell there, and it not only hides terrifying ancient evil but also could trap you in spatial labyrinths at any moment. Even gods with powerful Divine Power, once inside, must be extremely cautious, as a single misstep could trap them forever.
He once accidentally entered it and barely escaped with his life.
Using the Essence of the Divine Soul he obtained, he successfully plotted the downfall of two gods.
As long as this human strongman is tempted to enter there.
By then...
Hehehehehe!
Hearing this, Chen Shouyi couldn’t help but look at him and suddenly felt something was off. Trying not to show it, he asked, "Is it far?"
No choice, after all, it’s the God of Conspiracy and Enchantment.
Whenever he speaks, it’s best to be more cautious and always stay alert.
"Not far, not far, three days... well, about five days in this world’s time." The God of Conspiracy quickly replied.
"Since it’s not far, why don’t you help me get some? Surely, you won’t refuse to help a friend in need, right?" Chen Shouyi stared into his eyes with a smile.
The God of Conspiracy’s face and entire body froze, his mouth opened: "This... I... I might have remembered incorrectly just now; actually... it’s a bit far!"
Before he could finish speaking.
Chen Shouyi slapped him to the ground.
"Is it far or not?" Chen Shouyi impatiently pressed down on his chest with his foot.
Don’t think that just because you’ve descended into an elderly woman’s body, I won’t have the heart to hit you!
"Far... very far!" The God of Conspiracy was about to cry, feeling that even this trace of consciousness was about to be lost.
The anger in Chen Shouyi’s heart surged, damn, it seems there really is deceit here.
The God of Conspiracy sensed danger, and suddenly a moment of clarity hit him as he hurriedly shouted, "Wait, I still have the Essence of the Divine Soul!"
The atmosphere suddenly quieted down.
Even though Chen Shouyi was seething with anger, his expression turned momentarily confused at these words.
Facing such a shameless Barbarian God, he felt utterly exhausted.
Clearly, he had just vowed that there was no more.
And now, he suddenly says there is.
The trust between people is eroded by such repeated deceit.
"How much?" Chen Shouyi asked with a dark expression.
"Just a little bit!" The God of Conspiracy, lying on the ground, whispered, observing his expression.
"How much is a little bit?"
"About the same as last time..." Sensing that this savage human’s greedy appetite wouldn’t be satisfied, the God of Conspiracy quickly added: "Maybe a bit more."
Although the Essence of the Divine Soul is a Holy Artifact for enhancing and repairing the soul, for his powerful Divine Soul, this amount is like a drop in the ocean and cannot compensate for the loss of this trace of consciousness.
"How much more is a bit more?"
"A bit more... no, thirty percent more!" The God of Conspiracy quickly swore and vowed, "This is my final stockpile, there’s no more!"
Another vow!
Chen Shouyi: ...
He was almost at a loss for words.
This God of Conspiracy, there’s not a truthful word.
No matter how much he presses, it likely won’t yield more, but at least this trip wasn’t in vain.
"When can you deliver it?"
...
An hour later, a resplendent five-colored giant bird descended from the sky, obediently landing in front of the temple, spitting out a metal bottle.
"Honorable sir, do you see?" The God of Conspiracy fawningly handed over the metal bottle.
"I’m very satisfied this time!" Chen Shouyi reached out to take it, examined it a bit, and couldn’t help but smile. Looking at the God of Conspiracy also became much more pleasing to the eye.
"As long as you’re satisfied!"
Chen Shouyi quickly departed.
Watching his departing figure, the God of Conspiracy’s expression changed rapidly, secretly gnashing his teeth.
Greedy, cruel humans, you will pay the price one day.
He is an immortal, eternal True God with an infinite lifespan. He believed he would see that day... certainly!
As for this little bit of humiliation and setback, he... doesn’t care at all.
At this moment, he turned to look at the followers kneeling in the front hall. A few were trembling like sifting chaff, pale as paper, clearly having sobered up.
His expression suddenly turned incredibly sinister.
Daring to spy on the secrets of the gods.
They all deserve to die!
...
The weather in May had become increasingly hot.
Fortunately, wartime had largely come to an end.
Most of the troops from Great Xia Country had mostly withdrawn, except for those stationed in various countries.
"General Manager Chen, thank you for your hard work during this time. Resources are limited, and the hospitality was inadequate. I hope we meet again!" He Qingming tightly shook Chen Shouyi’s hand, speaking warmly, followed by a group of officers.
"Commander He, you’re too kind. I’m sure we’ll have chances to meet again!" Chen Shouyi nodded, not feeling like he had worked hard at all. During this time, he had only completed two missions and even went abroad for some trips.
It’s just that there were too many female hooligans here, always leaving Chen Shouyi overwhelmed.
He didn’t want to chat further, withdrew his hand, and quickly walked towards the helicopter.
The helicopter quickly took off from the clearing, soaring into the distance.
