Chapter 687: Chapter 686: Direct Lobbying
"What? You two have crossed that line?"
The Great Wilderness Main God could no longer stand still. His worst fear had finally come true.
Huang Ji blushed and nodded. "Yes."
The Great Wilderness Main God quickly took his daughter’s hand to examine her. "Strange," he said. "Not only is your body free of flaws, but your power has actually grown. Your bloodline has become more potent, and your talent is even more terrifying than before!"
This was definitely not the Curse Power. After all, the Great Wilderness Main God had experienced it firsthand. Logically, his daughter should be listless right now. Why had the opposite occurred?
He said to Huang Ji, "Everything about you has exceeded my expectations. That boy is definitely not one of the Righteous Gods!"
"He’s from the Human Clan!" Huang Ji corrected him.
"He’s definitely not from the Human Clan, either," the Great Wilderness Main God said. "If he were, he should have absorbed your talent and bloodline! But instead, your talent and bloodline have only grown stronger. Therefore, he is absolutely not from the Human Clan!"
"Could he be from the Demon Clan?" Huang Ji asked, shocked.
"I have seen the bloodlines of the Demon Clan," the Great Wilderness Main God said. "They are certainly not this strange. He is not of the Demon Clan."
"Then who is he?" Huang Ji asked, still in shock.
"An existence beyond the gods! Even gods cannot achieve such a terrifying bloodline!"
The Great Wilderness Main God gave Huang Ji his answer. She was stunned, never having imagined Ye Fan’s origins could be so terrifying.
The Great Wilderness Main God continued, "Send a message asking this boy to come here. I want to meet him in person!"
"Father, you can’t kill him!" Huang Ji said anxiously.
The Great Wilderness Main God laughed. "No, why would I kill him? Since he intends to marry my daughter, he should be prepared to prove himself."
"What do you mean?" Huang Ji asked curiously.
"The Little God Monarch has come to ask for your hand in marriage," the Great Wilderness Main God stated.
"What?"
Huang Ji immediately knew who that was—the top talent in the God Monarch Palace, a disciple raised by those old fossils. Having received the full breadth of their teachings, the Little God Monarch was the strongest genius of the Evil Divine Lineage. It was said that he had already surpassed many of his peers. However, the man always acted with reckless abandon, relying on the backing of those old codgers to disregard even Main God Experts. Huang Ji found him completely repulsive.
The Great Wilderness Main God said, "I haven’t agreed, but those old fossils certainly won’t let the Little God Monarch suffer a setback. Since you and that boy are so in love, I trust he will be willing to do a few things for your sake! Take the Little God Monarch, for instance. If he cannot defeat the Little God Monarch and is slain, it only proves he is not worthy of you!"
The Great Wilderness Main God had met Ye Fan before. He’d once wreaked havoc in the Great Wilderness Space, but the Main God didn’t think Ye Fan could possibly be a match for the Little God Monarch. After all, the Little God Monarch was the ace of the God Monarch Palace’s younger generation. It was said that five years ago, he had already undergone two major rebirths. For his age, his talent was simply too immense, far surpassing that of both the Evil Gods and the Righteous Gods. Moreover, rumor had it that the old fossils in the God Monarch Palace intended to groom the Little God Monarch into an Ancestor Realm expert.
With this in mind, the Great Wilderness Main God had already been calculating. He wanted to use this situation to test Ye Fan. If Ye Fan were truly a dragon among men, what would it matter if he offended the taboos of the world? As the number one figure in the Divine Domain, the Great Wilderness Main God’s reputation was built not only on his strength but also on his insight.
"Alright, I’ll send him a message to come! I’m sure you’ll be very satisfied with him, Father."
Huang Ji was delighted. With Ye Fan here, she was just one step away from convincing her father.
The Great Wilderness Main God said, "I’ve just examined you. Your Godhead has been reforged—it’s much stronger than even my own. Was this also his doing?"
"Yes, Father, it was!" Huang Ji said proudly.
The Great Wilderness Main God stroked his beard. "I find myself quite eager to meet him. I want to see for myself if he is as miraculous as the legends claim!"
In the Great Wilderness Main God’s view, Ye Fan was indeed extraordinary. Reforging a Godhead and crushing geniuses of the same generation were not feats that a talent from the Righteous Divine Lineage could accomplish. He wanted to see who was more formidable: the disciple cultivated by those old fossils at the God Monarch Palace, or this young man who had clawed his way up step by step on his own.
However, the Great Wilderness Main God was already certain of one thing: Ye Fan was not from this world, nor was he from the mortal realm. He was likely a descendant of one of those super-clans from the Outer Domain. Otherwise, he could never be so monstrously talented.
「...」
Just as Ye Fan was in the Outer Realm worrying about Huang Ji, the old man who had escorted her back appeared before him.
He said to Ye Fan, "My lord requests your presence!"
"Very well, lead the way," Ye Fan replied without hesitation. He did not bring the Demon Sky Monkey or the Misfortune Pangolin. He knew this trip was not for a fight, but to meet his father-in-law, so there was no need for such a grand display. The old man, however, was impressed by Ye Fan’s boldness.
The two arrived in the Great Wilderness Space.
Ye Fan saw the Great Wilderness Main God. This encounter felt different from their previous meetings. Before, he had only seen the Great Wilderness Main God as a cunning, sly old fox. This time, however, he sensed an imposing aura from him, the same kind of commanding presence radiated by the Red Sand Main God—one that conveyed authority without anger. It was an aura that no other Main God could match.
Ye Fan cupped his fists. "Junior Ye Fan greets Senior."
"Spare me the formalities!" the Great Wilderness Main God snapped.
Ye Fan could only feel exasperated. So this old fellow doesn’t buy the act.
"You’ve got some nerve, running off with my daughter without my permission," the Main God boomed. "Do you realize that with a mere wave of my hand, I could obliterate you without a trace?"
"I believe you," Ye Fan said. "But I also know you won’t do that, Senior."
"Oh?" the Great Wilderness Main God prompted.
"If you wanted to kill me, Senior, it would have been simple," Ye Fan explained. "There would be no need to send someone to invite me; you could have just acted directly. All this trouble is unnecessary. The fact that you summoned me here must mean you intend to test me!"
"You’re clever," the Great Wilderness Main God said. "But in my presence, you’re nothing but a clown! Being worthy to marry my daughter isn’t just a matter of true love!"
"I will do my best," Ye Fan replied.
"Very well," the Main God said. "Show me what your ’best’ entails."
"The Outer Domain is my territory," Ye Fan said. "I can provide you, Senior, with an endless supply of Immortal Mines. That is the first thing."
"The Outer Realm is your territory? Aren’t you being a little too arrogant?" the Great Wilderness Main God said coldly.
"Not at all," Ye Fan replied. "If you don’t believe me, Senior, you can ask your subordinate."
The old man stepped forward. "My Lord, it is true. Those baleful creatures mine for him. He consorts with them."
"Father-in-law, there’s no need to be so harsh," Ye Fan said immediately. "Those creatures are merely my subordinates. The Evil Gods and Righteous Gods are helpless against them, but I am not! I already control several lodes. Providing you with a portion, free of charge, would be no issue at all."
At these words, the Great Wilderness Main God and the old man exchanged a look. A flash of greed appeared in both their eyes. After all, who could resist the temptation of Immortal Mines?
