Douluo: Dragon King's Star Devouring Wings

Chapter 537 The Abyss Holy Spirit Non-Aggression Pact

The Abyss Saint King silently watched his subordinate jump up to provoke Mortis, and then silently watched him be defeated, without making any move throughout.

On the one hand, although he sensed that Mortis possessed god-level strength, that was just a feeling, and it would be best to make a judgment after witnessing her take action firsthand.

Now, the Holy Lord has confirmed that it is indeed a god-level power, and a god has actually been born in the Douluo plane!
Emperor Ling's face instantly turned extremely ugly. He sensed that Mortis's spiritual power had actually reached the Divine Origin Realm, and that his realm was even higher than his own.

Although the Spirit Emperor could rely on the power of the plane core and the entire Abyss Spirit Dragon Clan to push him to the level of the third-level Divine Origin Realm.

But he has a trump card; who can say for sure that Mortis doesn't?
The entire abyss was silent, except for the Abyss Lord and Mortis gazing at each other.

Even Emperor Ling didn't make a move; they are no longer worthy of participating in this battle.

"What do you want from me?" The Holy King's tone was very calm, not at all like someone who had been provoked.

“It’s simple, cooperation,” Mortis said.

“You are already a god. Even in the Douluo Continent, you should be an invincible being,” said the Abyss Saint King.

Mortis chuckled self-deprecatingly, "You don't know this, but in the Douluo Continent, besides me, there are also gods who possess power."

"That's impossible. If they really had the power of gods, why wouldn't they use it in their battle against us?" the Holy King said calmly.

Mortis said, "Since you're targeting the Douluo Plane, you should know that gods have appeared in the Douluo Plane. Since gods have appeared there, it's not impossible that those gods left behind some contingency plans, is it?"

The Abyss Saint King fell silent. Of course he knew that gods had appeared in the Douluo Plane. In fact, if the Douluo God Realm hadn't been lost, he wouldn't have dared to attack the Douluo Plane at all.

"If even you find this troublesome, then what's the point of coming to us? Do you want us to die in your place?!"

The Abyss Saint King's tone instantly turned cold, but he was secretly delighted. It was better to know now than to be caught off guard when they actually fought in the Douluo plane.

Mortis sneered, "Haven't you always done the same thing? Anyway, those lowly abyssal creatures are renewable resources, so if they die, they die."

The Abyss Saint said, "Since you know so much about my Abyss Plane, you should also know that a human has appeared on the human side who can devour the energy of the Abyss."

“That’s exactly what I wanted to say,” Mortis said slowly. “I can help you kill her, and you help me destroy the divine ruins, how about it?”

"Anyway, what you need is life energy, and what I need is death energy. They don't conflict with each other."

The Abyss Saint King remained silent for a moment before speaking, "You must help us open a new abyss passage."

Mortis pondered for a moment, then said, "Okay, but you'll have to provide the resources."

“Of course.” The Abyss Saint King readily agreed. In his view, these sacrifices were insignificant compared to the benefits he could gain from invading the Douluo plane.

“To show my sincerity, I even rescued her.” After Mortis finished speaking, he released the Black Emperor directly from the Land of the Dead.

When he saw the world of the dead, the Abyss Saint King's pupils suddenly contracted. Having dealt with the Douluo plane for six thousand years, how could he not see that what Mortis was behind was not the Douluo plane?

Since she claims to be from the Douluo Continent, could it be that she created that world herself? No wonder it's a place that has given birth to gods—truly a place teeming with hidden talents!

As the Abyss Saint King pondered this in secret, his evaluation of Mortis rose considerably.

After the Black Emperor appeared, he immediately knelt on one knee before the Holy Lord and said, "The plan has failed. It is my incompetence. Please punish me, Holy Lord." As he said this, the Black Emperor's heart was trembling. If the Holy Lord were to kill him in a fit of anger, Qian Gu Huang Yu might be able to escape unscathed, but he would definitely be completely finished.

"This time it's not entirely your fault. You may leave now," the Holy Emperor said calmly.

The Black Emperor was overjoyed and quickly took his leave.

Mortis's actions served two purposes: firstly, to curry favor with the Lord of the Abyss, and secondly, to demonstrate his power by showcasing the Underworld.

As a ruler of a plane, the Abyss Saint is extremely sensitive to other planes. If I can make him believe that I am also a ruler of a plane, even if my strength is inferior to his, the subsequent communication will undoubtedly be much easier.

As Qian Gu Huang Yu had predicted, the Abyss Saint King did indeed offer significant concessions in finalizing the details.

The final decision was that the Holy Spirit Cult would help the Abyss Plane kill the Ancient Phoenix Feather and help them open another Abyss Passage. The Abyss Plane would bear the costs incurred in opening the passage.

Meanwhile, the Abyss Plane temporarily halted its large-scale invasion of the Blood God Legion and began preparing for war. After arriving in the Douluo Plane, they were tasked with helping the Holy Spirit Cult destroy the divine ruins.

After that, the two sides joined forces to slaughter the Douluo plane and divide up the life energy and death energy.

Finally, witnessed by many Abyss Kings, the Abyss Saint King and Mortis, the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, jointly signed the "Abyss Holy Spirit Non-Aggression Treaty".

...

"Your Majesty, how strong do you think she is?" After Mortis and the many Abyss Kings (excluding those from the first ten levels) left, the Spirit Emperor asked.

"Looking across the entire Abyss Plane, only I can suppress her." The Holy King's unspoken message was: You are no match for me.

Emperor Ling's eyes narrowed. Although he had a premonition, he was still surprised when the facts were laid bare before him.

The Black Emperor said, "She created her own plane and is considered the master of that plane. Although that plane is vastly different from ours, she has undoubtedly taken that step completely."

“It’s incredible that a god was born from humankind without our knowledge,” said an abyss emperor with a lizard’s head.

The Abyss Saint King's voice remained calm: "Without a divine position, even if one becomes a god, one will eventually perish. She will only be more anxious than us, and she will only become our vanguard."

"A wise and sagacious ruler!"

...

After leaving the Abyss Plane, Qian Gu Huang Yu immediately returned to her room. Without even looking for Gu Yue Na, she hurriedly hung up a "Do Not Disturb" sign indicating that she was in seclusion.

Although she appeared calm in front of the Abyss Saint, only she knew how much pressure she was under.

She was not a true deity as the Abyss Saint King had guessed; in reality, she only reached the realm of gods in terms of spiritual power.

Her divine power and physical body were modeled after the aura of Elex, thus creating the persona of a necromancer for the Holy Lord.

However, even without directly fighting the Holy Monarch, the Holy Monarch's aura alone put a lot of pressure on Qian Gu Huang Yu. After all, he was a Holy Monarch with the cultivation level of a first-level god!
