Chapter 591: Chapter 282: Law of Gravity (Part 3)
Thus, Chu Xiu was momentarily caught in a dilemma.
However, despite his usual cautiousness, he was extremely decisive at critical moments and quickly made a decision, his black eyes turning fierce again.
Right now, there was no other way but to kill the opponent with the utmost speed to minimize the cost.
Surrounded by Demonic Qi, more colossal black spears appeared, as if an entire armory had emerged behind him, dense spears like the weapons of Celestial Gods, all aimed at Meng Xuanshu.
Yet, just as Chu Xiu was ready to expend his Divine Soul to launch a full-force attack, determined to kill this prodigious talent, Meng Xuanshu suddenly shouted, "Wait!"
Chu Xiu paused, looking at him, and Meng Xuanshu steadied himself, saying, "With such strength, you must be a disciple under one of the Divine Kings. For us, even if the Proof of the Old Days is downgraded upon failure, it can be supplemented. Why fight to the death here?"
"I’ll be honest, I have an Artifact that allows me to forcibly leave the mission."
Chu Xiu raised an eyebrow, "Then why are you still talking nonsense here? Staying here, isn’t it to fight with me?"
Meng Xuanshu said, "Though that’s the case, the price for using the Artifact or replenishing the Proof of the Old Days is too high, and I can’t give up easily."
"I have a proposal, what do you think?"
"We are both disciples of Divine Kings. Once a death battle begins, even if one side wins, there would be great losses. Why not let a third party decide the victory?"
Chu Xiu furrowed his brows slightly, contemplated for a while, and said, "What do you propose?"
Meng Xuanshu said, "Now, there’s an hour and a half until the second day arrives. We can wager on whether the Civilization Seed of the base city can withstand the Blood Demon Army’s attack for this hour and a half."
"If it can’t, and the Civilization Seed suffers a massive slaughter, even if you pass the trial, you’ll only get the most basic rewards. It would be better to risk a downgrade, since your status can recover from this situation."
"If the base can hold, I’ll grant you a Perfect completion, considering it as making a friend. What do you say?"
Chu Xiu fell into thought. To be honest, he was somewhat tempted, given that the Titan Giant Mechanisms in the base city were crafted by him personally, there was some chance they could withstand the Blood Demon’s attack.
Moreover...
"Do I look like someone who keeps promises?"
All the nonsense about God’s disciples was just Meng Xuanshu’s imagination.
Chu Xiu quickly made up his mind to first agree with him and then find an opportunity to betray him later, after all, he wouldn’t suffer any losses.
Not only that, Chu Xiu had a greedier idea.
He looked up and said, "I can agree to your terms, but I have three demands. First, we both must swear by the name of the God we follow, ensuring no deceit beyond the contract. Second, only the Blood Demon Army can attack; the other Civilization Envoy and the Blood Demon body must not intervene. Lastly, you must answer some questions I have, as I’m quite curious about your Celestial Derivation Civilization."
Chu Xiu had already discovered in his conversations with the Endless Blood Pool that the Gods were very sensitive about their names. Swearing by them would ensure Meng Xuanshu wouldn’t breach the agreement. As for the questions afterward, Chu Xiu genuinely wanted to use this opportunity to learn more about other civilizations.
Meng Xuanshu thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "That’s easy, I can agree to that."
Soon, the two began swearing by the names of their Gods. Of course, neither revealed the true names of the Gods they worshipped, using related terms instead. Meng Xuanshu did so to protect his God’s secrets, while Chu Xiu was just making things up.
After completing all this, Meng Xuanshu suddenly flipped his hand, and a scream echoed from afar. Tuoba Ye and the Three Peaks, along with all the remaining Civilization Envoys, couldn’t even let out a scream before their bodies exploded violently.
This scene left Chu Xiu slightly startled.
Meng Xuanshu remained indifferent and said, "Why so surprised? How could we of Advanced Civilizations share spoils with these barbarians from lower civilizations? I set a Restriction on them the moment I met them."
Chu Xiu gave Meng Xuanshu a deep look, his white robe still immaculate, yet his handsome face now bore an indescribably eerie feeling in Chu Xiu’s eyes.
Without further words, the two gazed into the distance, quietly watching the distant battlefield.
