Chapter 485: Chapter 474 Do you know who is covering for me?
Baili Liuyun was now both shocked and afraid.
His own thoughts had been completely seen through by the Divine Spirit, and he didn’t know whether she would consume him.
She must be a demon god, right!
"As I said, I am not a demon god. The reason I wanted to meet you was to make a deal with you. We Righteous Gods never take advantage of people for nothing, even if we were to consume you, we would make you willing."
Baili Liuyun: "..."
So you are really kind!
"What deal?"
Baili Liuyun didn’t know what about him could possibly be of interest to a Divine Spirit, but as long as it wouldn’t harm his interests, he might as well listen to what the god had to say.
"I like people who are as straightforward as you. The task you have to do is simple: preach in your world and secretly spread my divine name."
"Just that?"
Baili Liuyun felt that it seemed too simple, so simple that he started to suspect there was a catch.
On further thought, there was a great deal of information in those words. "Your world"—could it be that there are other worlds?
And why must she spread her divine name in secret—is it because she cannot be seen by people?
Baili Liuyun pondered seriously, and the goddess suddenly let out a crisp laugh.
The laughter was not deliberately mocking, yet it made Baili Liuyun feel embarrassed and annoyed.
Indeed, all of his thoughts were clearly visible, and even his private musings were clearly known to the Divine Spirit—perhaps she found his thinking amusing!
"No, you’re not funny. Although you’re not a wise man, you’re no fool either. You might be very ordinary, but you’re also so confident, and that’s quite rare."
Baili Liuyun: "..."
What sin have I committed to be mocked and ridiculed by this woman!
So angry, yet I still have to maintain a smile.
He didn’t even dare to curse in his mind, oh how bitter Baili Liuyun felt inside...
"I’m not mocking you, for someone like you, though very ordinary, has the heart to be ruthless at critical moments and can certainly achieve something. You have already traded your ambition for the power you wanted. How far you can go is up to your skill now. As the reward for helping me preach, every time, you only need to offer a heart, and you will be able to see me.
Moreover, as long as you present enough Sacrifices, you can have anything you desire."
Baili Liuyun: "..."
So, he had somehow inexplicably become a follower of the Thousand Hands and Eyes God?
But I’m clearly not a follower!
At this moment, the goddess herself was also puzzled.
Why are none of the people who can obtain my power my followers?
Apart from the Heart Chamber, those from the other chambers had also received what they wanted.
This round, it was a collective free ride.
When Dongfang Hongyue entered the Liver Chamber, she felt her eyes brighten significantly, and her vision of the world became much clearer.
Not only that, but she could also sense places much farther away. Even though she couldn’t see them, it was as if images were appearing before her.
This was better and more effective than observing with Divine Sense; it was a greater distance.
Although it couldn’t be considered an excellent Divine Skill, if used well, it should be very effective.
Anyway, since it was a free ride, everything was fine.
When Lin Yun entered the Lung Chamber, he felt his Divine Sense solidify a great deal.
The meaning of "wondrous method connecting to the Divine" is to strengthen the Divine Sense?
Lin Yun felt it shouldn’t be that simple, but at the moment, there wasn’t an instruction manual available.
Generally speaking, those who worship Divine Spirits, upon receiving their powers, would know which abilities they’ve attained—those like them who freeloaded would experience some differences.
"It seems there’s nothing else here."
Lin Yu looked carefully around the lung chamber but found nothing special, just a huge lung-shaped stone protected on a pedestal at the center.
It was just an inanimate object with nothing extraordinary about it.
Lin Yun, however, said, "Blow up this lung, and perhaps we can find a way out."
It had to be said, Lin Yun was a destructive individual. After freeloading off the Divine Spirit’s power, he even wanted to cause damage, completely disregarding any martial ethics.
Lin Yu was very honest and thought Lin Yun made sense. Without a second word, he took up the Gale Sword, swung it twice, and directly blew up the stone lung, kicking up dust and smoke. Lin Yun quickly used fire to shield the three of them within, to prevent any peculiar powers from the destroyed lung from harming them.
The dust and smoke were quickly burned away by Lin Yun, but he himself fell into a momentary daze.
"Whose dependent are you? Why do you want to destroy my sacred cultivation site?"
Lin Yun looked closely and saw that Lin Yu and Fang Yu were gone, replaced by a woman dressed in light gauze.
The woman seemed ethereal, with nothing noteworthy about her figure except for her legs, which were quite eye-catching.
Her feet, long and thin, were accompanied by a fair stretch of delicate calf exposed to the air, with only white gauze fluttering, irresistibly invoking the desire to investigate further. Her bare little feet were also quite adorable; those with a fetish for feet might suffer an immediate flare-up of their illness.
Of course, Lin Yun wasn’t interested in such worldly pleasures; he just looked, then shifted his gaze to her face.
If he hadn’t looked, he wouldn’t have known, but upon looking, he was startled.
The beauty’s face was covered with eyes, exactly ten pairs, and they weren’t symmetrical at all.
Damn it, it was clearly a monster, so why did it have such beautiful legs!
I’m scared to death!
"Who are you?"
Lin Yun felt he had encountered the nemesis of his life; he couldn’t tolerate anything densely packed and irregular, yet as he blinked, the many-eyed woman suddenly transformed into a person with a normal appearance.
Her lips were small, but they revealed two sharp canines; her nose was tall and proud, and her eyes were expressive, clearly a somewhat demonic and alluring young woman.
But considering the image of her face full of eyes, Lin Yun couldn’t develop any fond feelings for her current appearance.
"I have shown you my Divine likeness, yet you still do not recognize me. It seems your deity is of minor status. You possess a strong spiritual nature; there’s no future in following a minor god. Why not become my dependent instead?"
"????"
Lin Yun’s face was filled with question marks, unable to comprehend what this creature was saying, but it wasn’t hard to guess that the one who appeared was the Thousand Hands and Eyes.
The only thing Lin Yun had destroyed up till now belonged to Thousand Hands and Eyes.
Divine Dependents—Lin Yun had heard of them. This world had legends of Divine Dependents, although Lin Yun had never seen one with his own eyes.
Those with a mark upon their body could potentially be Divine Dependents.
Going by what the Thousand Hands and Eye God was saying, she seemed to mistake Lin Yun for another god’s dependent, now openly trying to lure him away.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Yun quickly answered, "A servant does not serve two masters; Your Divinity, please forgive me."
Considering the tone of this Spider God, it seemed she was quite a formidable deity. Therefore, Lin Yun simply went along with the idea that he indeed was a Divine Dependent.
"Since you’re unwilling to become my dependent and have willfully utilized Divine Power to destroy my sacred place, then if I kill you, your deity would have nothing to say, right?"
The gods were indeed decisive: non-compliance meant only death awaited.
Lin Yun knew that cowering now would likely mean only one thing: a dead end.
He scoffed coldly and asked in return, "Do you know whose dependent I am?"
