The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3665 Leveraging Power?

The gods ventured deep into the outer realms, but were unable to subdue the Heavenly Demon Clan, and were ultimately forced to sign a pact.

The powerful figures do not enter each other's territories, allowing the outer regions to become battlefields, where both sides fight each other, each relying on their own abilities.
Something about this sounds a bit strange.

Why does it feel like the ancient war between the immortal and demon realms?
The Heavenly Demon Venerable, a powerful figure in the Heavenly Demon Clan, can render the gods helpless. Does that mean they possess power comparable to the gods?
The gods' power comes from the Great Dao corresponding to their different divine statuses. But what about the Heavenly Demon Venerable?

Faced with the Heavenly Demon's accusations, Lin Chen smiled and said, "If no one knows, then it's the same as not coming at all."

Lightning flashed intensely in the Heavenly Demon's eyes, his emotions running high: "Trying to kill me to silence me? It's no use. I've already spread the news that a Heavenly God has broken the contract and entered the outer realm. The Heavenly Demon Venerables will soon know!"

Lin Chen's expression changed: "When did you send that message?"

The Heavenly Demon replied, "Even if I were to die when he killed my companions, the Heavenly Demon Venerable would avenge me!"

Lin Chen's expression turned quite grim; things had gotten serious.

"Advanced Linglong Tower!"

In the blink of an eye, the Creation God and others led the Heavenly Demon into the Exquisite Tower, and Lin Chen used Star Jump to instantly leave the place.

Lin Chen, having changed positions, also entered the Linglong Tower and then inquired about the Heavenly Demon who had been captured by the others.

"Alright, now we have plenty of time to chat. Does the Heavenly Demon Venerable you speak of possess strength comparable to that of a celestial god? Celestial gods possess the Great Dao Divine Spark, so where does the Heavenly Demon Venerable's power come from?"

The Heavenly Demon seemed resigned to certain death, coldly stating, "Our Heavenly Demon race was born from the depths of the universe, formed from the primordial power of the universe. Our leader, the Heavenly Demon Venerable, is the embodiment of the primordial power of the universe. How could we possibly fear those gods?"

"They originally wanted to seize this starry sky, turn the Heavenly Demon Clan into prey for the Heavenly God Clan, and make this starry sky their hunting ground. Unfortunately, they did not have the strength, and in the end, they had no choice but to sign a pact and retreat to the Heavenly God Realm."

Lin Chen pointed at the Creation God: "He was persecuted to this state by those gods you mentioned. When the gods came to the outer realms together, he was still in prison and had no idea about the contract you mentioned."

"Judging from your tone, your Heavenly Demon Clan regards all those Heavenly Gods as the ultimate enemy. In a sense, he shares the same stance as your Heavenly Demon Venerable. He is currently working hard to restore his primordial spirit and reshape his divine body in order to take revenge and kill those Heavenly Gods."

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, the Heavenly Demon's tone softened slightly: "Are you telling the truth?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Look at his disheveled appearance, you can tell that what I said is probably true. If he were really a high and mighty god of the Celestial Race, how could he be in such a bad state, almost having his godhood shattered and his soul scattered?"

The Heavenly Demon remained silent for a moment, then his tone became agitated again: "Even if he doesn't know, he is still a member of the Celestial Race. His presence here is a violation of the contract!"

Lin Chen asked, "What will be the consequences of breaking the contract?"

"Will the Heavenly Demon Venerables join forces to kill the saints who have entered this place, or will they directly gather the Heavenly Demon Clan to attack the Heavenly God Realm?"

The Heavenly Demon was silent for two seconds: "I don't know." Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled: "Is it possible that when all the gods of the Heavenly God Realm entered this place and signed contracts with your Heavenly Demon Venerable, they all used their personal names? In other words, since they didn't enter this place themselves, they weren't violating the original contract?"

Lin Chen's words were not made up. If the gods were to sign a contract, it would have to be a God's Contract. Only this contract would be binding on them. If they broke the contract, even if they were gods, they would be wiped out!

However, the signatory of the God's Covenant must be the God himself. This does not mean that the Gods who entered this place initially signed their own covenants and would not enter the outer realm again. Now that the Creator God has entered, it has nothing to do with the covenants they signed.

Absolutely no breach of contract!
The Heavenly Demon remained silent for a long while before finally speaking, "I don't know."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief and turned to say, "Perhaps things are not yet out of control. If they signed the contract themselves, representing themselves, the Heavenly Demon Venerables will naturally be able to guess that even if a Heavenly God enters here, it will certainly not be the same as before."

"Unless they have breached the contract, they should not be able to attack the Celestial Saints who have entered this place..."

The Creator God didn't care at all: "At worst, we can just run away. We can return to the Time-Space Vortex Gate in an instant. Once we pass through the Time-Space Vortex Gate, we'll be back in the Celestial Realm and we'll be safe."

"Even if the powerful members of the Heavenly Demon Clan come and kill people, they will be the ones who die, it has nothing to do with us."

Lin Chen nodded: "That's why I said the matter isn't too serious, but when I heard about it, I had a different thought."

The Creator God stared at Lin Chen's shining eyes: "You don't mean you're planning to join forces with the Heavenly Demon Clan, do you?"

Lin Chen nodded: "To be precise, it's about finding a way to join forces with the Heavenly Demon Venerable and use their power to help us kill the other gods."

After a pause, Lin Chen further explained, "I didn't mean to join forces with the Heavenly Demon Clan to eventually lure them into the Heavenly God Realm and destroy the Heavenly God Clan. Although I don't have any good feelings towards the Heavenly God Clan, I can't do something that would harm countless innocent people."

"The fact that the Heavenly Demon Venerable can contend with the Heavenly Gods without being at a disadvantage shows their strength. Since they are enemies of the Heavenly Gods, I'm wondering if there's any way they can leverage their power."

The Creator God's eyes lit up, then his expression turned helpless: "According to the contract they signed, the gods cannot enter the outer realms, and the Heavenly Demon race cannot enter the Heavenly God Realm..."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Like I said, I was just exploring the possibility of leveraging their strength. If you were to rely on yourself alone, it would be too difficult to kill the other gods. After all, there are eighteen gods in total, and the other seventeen are all in cahoots. None of them will help you..."

The Creator God thought about it and agreed: "So what do you mean?"

Lin Chen replied, "I want to find an opportunity to talk to the Heavenly Demon Venerable. Opportunities can be created through conversation, and maybe he has some ideas of his own."

The Creation God sneered, "But if they turn on us, we might both be gone. You should know that although my entry into this place doesn't count as the previous gods breaking their promise, I won't be protected either. Even if seventeen gods joined forces, they couldn't do anything to them. As a remnant soul, I have no power to protect myself."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Negotiations don't necessarily require the real body to go. I have the ability to create clones. I can send a clone to negotiate. Let him kill me if he wants. There's no loss..."
