Chapter 425: Covering the Space
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The agriculture in the territory was put on hold for a while. Since the territory had sufficient resources, the food was bought from outside.
However, they could not rely on food from the outside world for the long term. It had to be produced and made in the territory if it wanted to remain sustainable.
As long as the portal remained open and no one attacked, everything would be fine.
Su Wan had great plans for the future to plant the Light Flowing Grass to mass produce ice cream.
The land was being prepared. Furnace City had already leveled the land and sowed the seeds.
At that time, there would be an endless income and Su Wan wouldn’t have to worry so much about her territory.
In Su Wan’s eyes, farming was immensely beneficial, whether during war or otherwise.
Su Wan went straight to the center of the plane. She landed on the ground and looked down at the ancient god statue before slowly closing her eyes again.
At that time, her spiritual energy was released, and it entered the statue.
After several upgrades, the space inside the ancient god statue had become very roomy. The soul of the God of Deception and Lies was now sealed there.
The translucent soul lay quietly in the hazy space.
Su Wan untied the chains that were condensed with the power of the Great Old Ones.
The God of Deception and Lies awoke and sensed his bindings dissipating. He slowly gained consciousness. He then felt a little dizzy as though he had been plucked from one space and transferred to another. His memories returned and he heaved a long sigh.
“Lord Su Wan, how nice to meet you! How long have 1 been asleep?” said a hoarse voice.
His illusory body floated in the air. It appeared wispy as though it might dissipate at any moment.
“The rules of the world have changed so drastically…” The God of Deception and Lies sensed that something was strange. He quickly turned around to look.
“We paid a huge price to escape from the god’s tomb and return to the Main Plane. The Spider Queen has been isolated outside the main plane,” said Su Wan.
The god’s eyes flickered. He fell into a long silence. “Perhaps it was meant to
“It seems you know some secret that I don’t. Care to share it with me?” said Su Wan.
“Secret? It is just information that all the gods know about. After the second battle of the gods, a certain goddess foresaw the future as she fell. She said that the ancient gods would return, and the new gods would pay the price for what they did. That was the reason why the new gods clamored to erase history. But no matter what we do, we can’t stop the world from spinning, can we? The prophecy will be fulfilled.” His lips curled up into a smile.
The God of Deceptions and Lies had a bad reputation, as befitting his title. How could the other gods have any faith in him?
“What do the new gods plan to do to stop the return of the ancient gods?” asked Su Wan.
“They plot among themselves, as always. Their little wicked schemes…” The God of Deception and Lies looked indignant.
“Do you have any prophecies of your own then?” asked Su Wan.
“Not so much…. One can always only depend on one’s strength. I’m sure you know that.” His gaze turned to Su Wan. “I only hope you can protect me till I recover fully. I don’t have the strength for any skirmishes right now. 1 won’t forget that you gave me a new life. 1 swear on my soul that no matter what happens, 1’11 never harm you or your territory, Lord Su Wan.”
The God of Deception and Lies had signed a contract. If he broke the terms, his soul would be devoured and destroyed.
Su Wan stared at the god. She didn’t expect the God of Deception and Lies to be so smooth with his words. No matter what, the terms of the contract couldn’t be violated.
The power of the ancient god statue still remained in his soul. If he betrayed them, Su Wan had full authority over his life and death.
The contract gave Su Wan the security to trust the god’s words.
“I have to say… I’m impressed,” said Xu Yuan.
The God of Deception and Lies had changed under imprisonment.
The god chuckled. “Of course, Lord Xu Yuan. I’m neither a threat to you now nor when 1 recover my strength. Contrary to popular expectations, I do know how to show gratitude.”
“How will you recover? Your power already belongs to someone else,” said Xu Yuan.
“For gods, the fastest way to recover is to increase the number of their believers.”
“Our territory won’t do that,” said Xu Yuan. He remembered the Spider Queen preaching underground in her own cult. “Whatever you do, I cannot let you take over the territory. This is Su Wan’s territory.”
“My Lord, you’ve misunderstood me,” said the God of Deception and Lies as he gestured to the Death Swamp..
