Chapter 1003: Life or Death Struggle

“You cannot do anything with the Relic in your hand. Without divine energy, you cannot put the Relic into good use. The Relic has been sealed, isn’t it? You will not lift all the seals given your realm. If you are willing to transfer the Relic to me, I can trade another Relic for yours, like an armor or a weapon. With a Relic armor and weapon, you will have no more enemies in the mortal world.”

“I was not lying to you when I said I would accept you as a protégé. I have been an immortal for over three thousand years. Even in the Divinity, I dominate a piece of land. Here, tens of thousands of immortals work for me and I have millions of minions. I will give you some instructions and you becoming an immortal will come easily!”

“When you come to the Divinity, I will send someone for you. At my land, you will be given first-rate elixirs and I will impart you all the skills and secret knowledge I master. Your life can soar. It is also possible that… I will pass my position to you, making you a master of a land, reputable at the Divinity. What do you say?”

God of Sorcerer was sincere in this flood of speech. He had made promises and proposed generous terms. Anyone might have been moved to tears of gratitude and given up the Wicked Bead. After all, God of Sorcerer was an immortal. Riding on his coattails could lead to a promising future.

But to this, Lu Li sneered. As far as he was concerned, the God of Sorcerer was a fraud. He was making empty promises just to trick Lu Li into releasing the treasure.

Imagine being an immortal.

What kind of presence were the immortals? How could they be so humble in front of a mortal being? It was as if an adult was using candy to cheat a kid out of a treasure…

Lu Li was resolute. Coldly, he replied, “God of Sorcerer, save your breath. I just told you, the Wicked Bead is off the table. Do not regard me as a moron. I know much about the Divinity. Besides… I have a master of my own and he is a mighty warrior in the Divinity. Save your little tricks of bluffing.”

“Mighty warrior in the Divinity?”

God of Sorcerer sounded surprised and asked right away, “Which one is he? The venerable Master of Heaven Reverse?”

Via the Voodoo Race, the God of Sorcerer knew something about the Heaven Reverse Universe which was named after Emperor of Heaven Reverse. It was not surprising that God of Sorcerer had heard of him.

“Yes!”

Lu Li did the honest thing of admitting. Emperor of Heaven Reverse once said that when Lu Li went to the Divinity, he could accept Lu Li as a protégé. Lu Li believed that it was only a matter of time before he ascended to the Divinity, which meant that sooner or later, he would become Emperor of Heaven Reverse’s protégé.

God of Sorcerer said nothing afterwards. After the time for a dozen breaths, he sighed. “Fine, I will not relieve you of this Relic. But… I require the survival of the Voodoo Race. Their population is large. I need the energy of faith.”

“No way!”

Lu Li said with unswerving determination. “I must have the right to rule the Voodoo Land of the South. You will not protect the Voodoo Race.”

“The right to rule?”

God of Sorcerer fell into another fit of silence. A moment later, he said, “Qi of Voodoo, come here!”

Qi of Voodoo was the name of Master of Voodoo Race. Hearing God of Sorcerer, Qi of Voodoo came with the other warriors. Kneeling in the plaza in front of the altar with respect, Qi of Voodoo said, “God of Sorcerer, please state your command.”

Even though God of Sorcerer wanted to sell them out from the very beginning, he was the god of the Voodoo Race worshiped, nonetheless. How could they defy the order of an immortal?

God of Sorcerer said, “From today on, you will answer to Lu Li’s orders and you will work for him in helping him govern the Voodoo Land of the South.”

“What…?”

Qi the Voodoo felt awkward. God of Sorcerer turned his back on them before and now, he required them to surrender to Lu Li? Was it any different from selling them out? If they could not be protected by the God of Sorcerer, then what was the point of worshiping him?

“What?” God of Sorcerer was becoming unhappy. “You want to disobey me?”

“No, no!” Qi of Voodoo lowered his body and said, “Qi of Voodoo will follow your instructions, God of Sorcerer.”

These were the words he said but the glow in his eyes indicated that he was thinking otherwise. The other warriors were all on their knees. However, their expressions changed as a cloud hung over their face.

“Hmm!”

The shadow of God of Sorcerer threw a glance to Qi of Voodoo and the others. All of a sudden, God of Sorcerer generated a hand and slapped down.

“Bang!”

A slap of anger from the God of Sorcerer could have hurt the Dragon Demon. How could Master of Voodoo Race and the other warriors stand it? Even Qi of Voodoo, who was the strongest in the group, was merely at the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm. This slap killed them all.

“Eh?”

Lu Li was speechless from what he saw. God of Voodoo slayed people that worshiped him. When the story got out, nobody at the Voodoo Land of the South would ever worship him again.

Lu Li held God of Sorcerer’s moral quality in contempt. God of Sorcerer’s moral quality was questionable if he could betray and kill those who worshiped him at will.

Killing those of the Voodoo Race did not cause any mood swing to the God of Sorcerer who said, “Lu Li, I am okay with you ruling the Voodoo Land of the South. You saw it yourself. Those worshipers now have questions about me so I killed them. You are free to conquer the Voodoo Land of the South and kill the powerful warriors as you wish. I only ask of you to go easy on the civilians. After all, is settled down… you can choose a puppet ruler to govern the Voodoo Land of the South. In this way, we will not interfere with each other’s businesses. Is that okay?”

What God of Sorcerer proposed was a nice suggestion. Lu Li controlling the Voodoo Land of the South was not mutually exclusive to the Voodoo Race worshiping the God of Sorcerer. Lu Li could eliminate all the powerful warriors but one who would be the puppet to help Lu Li rule the Voodoo Land of the South.

When the time came, God of Sorcerer could leave behind some signs, making the puppet ruler say that the signs were the manifestation of the God of Sorcerer. He was helping the Voodoo Race out of the disaster. If it weren’t for him, Lu Li would have spared none of the Voodoo Race…

As such, Lu Li and God of Sorcerer could each take what they needed. They would be on peaceful terms and everything would be just fine.

While it sounded peachy, Lu Li did not give an affirmative answer. After a moment of thought, he said, “What you proposed is okay and I can promise you that I will not go on killing the civilians so that you can continue to enjoy your energy of faith. But… what can you give me in return? How about, you give me some Relic weapons and armors? They are cheap in the Divinity anyways.”

When an immortal was negotiating and on equal footings, Lu Li would have been a fool to not to extort him of something.

“In return?”

God of Sorcerer was stunned at first. Then, the shadow showed anger. “Lu Li, enough is enough. If you push me too hard, I will burn the bridges. Who the hell do you think you are?” He bellowed.

“Ha, ha, ha!”

Lu Li laughed a laugh of contempt. Burning bridges? If God of Sorcerer was capable of such things, why would he want to talk to Lu Li?

As an immortal, talking to a mortal guy was in itself shameful. If God of Sorcerer could kill Lu Li, he would have ripped the latter apart already.

Therefore, Lu Li aggressively continued, “God of Sorcerer, if you want to fight, then let’s begin. I will be burning the bridges with you. Believe me or not, I will order the Dragon Demon to slaughter every one of the Voodoo Race.”
