846 Chapter 505: The God of Deception From A Long Sleep and Reaping the Benefits [3/6]
Richard heard the system prompt. He looked at the ancient figure before him, and his heart couldn’t help but change.
He didn’t expect this god used to dishonesty and deception would spend so much resources. This boldness was admirable.
A one-sided contract, Tai Long himself could not violate it, but he did not need fear.
That was the most unfair contract in the “Shining Era.”
Moreover, not just anyone could make an oath. One needed to have enough strength to communicate the rules of the contract.
However, his thoughts were crystal, and oaths could not move him.
But this was the other party’s alliance.
The power of the ancient god statue remained in his soul.
The life and death of the god of deception was now in the grace mainland overlord’s hands.
The contract seemed to be an enormous constraint on the god of deception. And it gave Richard enough security to trust him.
But if Richard approved, then the god of deception would be reborn, and in this process, he would do his best to help the god.
Richard placed a rope too fatal for himself, but he could trade it for freedom and rebirth. This simple action of this god had a sterling, significant meaning.
A quick silence followed, and Richard said slowly, “Your Excellency Tai Long, I have to say, you have made me look at you in a new light…”
The god who had once relied on lies and deception to survive had undergone a remarkable transformation.
The god of deception had already shown such signs in the tomb of the gods. Now, it seemed that the god of deception had changed even more than he had imagined.
The god of deception laughed in relief.
“Lord Richard, you don’t have to worry. I wouldn’t pose and place threats before you. I wouldn’t change whether now or after I recovered my strength.”
“Your words pointed out the way forward for me.”
“This world is changing. My power shouldn’t remain so weak forever…”
“I need to recover as soon as possible. Change is constant. A good opportunity might not come again in the future if I don’t seize this opportunity.”
The calmness in Tai Long’s voice made Richard look at him deeply again.
“Your Excellency Tai Long, how can I help you recover your strength?”
Richard added.
“Your heart already belongs to someone else. I can’t take it for you now.”
The god of deception laughed.
“That was your spoils of war. How you dealt was your right.”
Tai Long looked at the spatial rift connected to the Naga Plane.
The battle in the rotten swamp at this time continued.
“A god must cumulate believers to recover strength as soon as possible. That is the swiftest way.
“I am no exception.”
Richard’s brows almost intersected.
He immediately recalled the evil spreader. This subordinate still experimented with preaching in the underground world.
“Apologies, Your Excellency Tai Long, the sect’s power cannot influence my territory.”
This land couldn’t have a second owner.
The god of deception spoke slowly.
“Lord, you’ve misunderstood.”
Tai Long indicated the rotten swamp while soldiers still fought.
“Pressure had already shattered the space of that plane. Other planes are connecting to it. You only need to give me a portion of the life force of one of the planes.”
Richard thought for a moment and nodded.
That wouldn’t affect him much.
Since they had decided to become partners and the god of deception had shown his sincerity, he would not be stingy.
“Sure.”
He gestured to the rotten swamp and briefly explained the function of this land.
“I need Your Excellency to help me cover up the rotten crimson blood ball so that outsiders won’t be able to find out that the rotten swamp is the revitalized land…”
“At the same time, the holy land needs the power to devour space…”
The god of deception knew Richard’s initial intention of waking him up and nodded immediately.
“No problem, just leave it to me.”
Richard smiled. He liked obedient partners.
It was a pity one couldn’t simply defeat the god of deception. Otherwise, it would be much simpler with some dirty and tiring work if he took this god in.
He glanced at Tai Long’s illusory body and softly said, “Do you need me to find a temporary body for Your Excellency?”
“Temporarily no use for the tag. I want to forge the divine body of this life with my own hands.
“My future path is no longer the same. My previous body can’t accommodate a new soul.”
The god of deception’s tone was firm, and he had long thought about it.
Richard nodded and said no more.
At this point, the relationship between indicated working partners.
Now, Richard needed to help the god of deception recover his power. Also, protect him from threats, particularly from Lolita, the Spider Goddess.
What Richard could gain was. The god of deception worked for him.
For him, this level of partnership was enough at this stage.
It was unrealistic to subdue the god of deception. The current Twilight City hadn’t reached the height where it could defeat gods.
The mightiest battle power he had was only at the transcendent level. The gap was immeasurable compared to a god.
The god of deception could be wrought-up at this time, and the partnership might not have happened if Richard hadn’t suppressed Tai Long with the help of the ancient statue and offended the Spider Goddess Lolita in the tomb of the gods.
The methods of gods were strange and unpredictable. No matter how down and out they were, they were not something ordinary people could reach.
But for Richard, it was enough that the god of deception could be helpful to him now. What about the future? No one could predict it.
Richard unhesitantly brought the god of deception through the spatial rift and arrived at the rotten swamp.
Loreinna immediately felt the pressure only gods could convey when she saw the god of deception.
