Douluo Jueshi, world modulation mode

The God of Light said in a cold tone, "You only need to answer whether you agree or not."

The Abyss Saint King spoke slowly and deliberately, "If you want me to do this, you have to let me know more information first."

Upon hearing this, the God of Light showed displeasure, his expression turning colder. "You've talked too much."

"You have no choice in this matter."

"Agree or give yourself a chance to survive."

"Either refuse and wait to become nourishment for the growth of another world."

"Heh~" The Abyss Saint King chuckled lightly and calmly sat back down on his throne.

"A mere mortal. Although I don't know what the rules of your God Realm are, the rules of the God Realm certainly cannot restrict the God King who made the rules. Why doesn't that God King Tang San you mentioned just slap that mortal to death?"

"If that God-King Tang could persuade you to talk to me, he could also have you or any other god kill that mortal."

"But why didn't that Tang God King do that?"

"It must be that he can't take action. Something or someone is stopping him from doing this. He and his own people can't take action, so they can only come to me as a pawn. There's even a high probability that I'm just a discarded pawn. The fact that you can't do this precisely shows that this matter may be extremely dangerous."

"In this matter, neither you nor that Tang God King have any other choice."

Having said that, a hint of confidence shone in the Abyss Saint King's eyes. He believed things were as he said, since the other party had come to discuss matters with him, not to give direct orders. Indeed, as the other party had said, this was the only possible glimmer of hope he could grasp. But precisely because of this, he needed to take more initiative in this matter to have a greater chance of seizing that glimmer of hope.

The light god's expression grew even colder. "Merely a lowly being."

How dare they treat Him like that!

But the Abyss Saint King's eyes held an even stronger confident smile.

Because he discovered something else.

This Goddess of Light, who called herself a first-level deity, clearly displayed an arrogant attitude. However, even though he spoke so rudely, she did not show any aura to intimidate him. In fact, she kept her aura hidden. This precisely shows that she did not want the two first-level deities who guarded him and the Abyss Plane to know of her existence.

Either the Tang God King they mentioned was just something they made up to fool him.

Either there's more to the matter concerning that human named An Zhen, or there are more schemes and dangers lurking in the Douluo God Realm.

In fact, he had an even simpler way to verify this: he could simply shout at the two first-level deities guarding him and the Abyss Plane, thus exposing the whereabouts of this God of Light.

However, this would most likely cause the disappearance of this hard-won glimmer of hope. Regardless of whether this glimmer of hope is real or not, he must now hold on to it firmly.

“If you’re not willing, someone else is.” With that, the God of Light turned to leave.

"Wait a minute," the Abyss Saint King suddenly said.

Before the God of Light could even manage a smile, thinking that the Abyss Saint had given in, the Abyss Saint said, "Since you've come to the Abyss Plane, I have nothing to offer in terms of hospitality. Perhaps..."

The Abyss Saint King pointed with his long, slender finger to a halberd stuck beside his throne. The halberd, in the style of a halberd halberd with symmetrical crescent-shaped blades, was twelve feet long. Its entire body was a bluish-purple, its strange patterns gleaming with an extraordinary luster, densely packed like the scales of a halberd. A terrifying power was concealed within, like a lurking monster from the abyss.

"I will present this divine artifact to you, and to that Tang God-King."

"This thing is called the Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss. It is a super artifact born from the Abyss Plane. It has been with me in battle for many years and has a unique but extremely strong characteristic - the Abyss. Although it cannot use ranged attacks, it can ignore all defensive capabilities and equipment. In fact, even super artifact-level defensive armor cannot block its attacks."

The Abyss Saint King was actually quite curious about this—he and the Abyss Plane had been captured for quite some time, so why hadn't any deity come to take away his super artifact, the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd? Although he was currently bound by shackles and had no power to resist even with this super artifact, it was still a super artifact.

Why didn't Tang Shenwang, the God King, and the two first-level gods guarding him do the same? He didn't believe any god could resist the temptation of a super artifact. It couldn't be that this Douluo God Realm didn't even have a shortage of super artifacts for first-level gods. Even the legendary God Star that his mother spoke of shouldn't have such a situation.

Upon hearing the words "super artifact," the God of Light's gaze almost uncontrollably fell upon that super artifact.

heart.

Even though this super artifact doesn't quite fit her attack style.

I never expected that this small abyss plane could give birth to such a divine artifact!

But she couldn't move.

The God of Light forcibly suppressed his inner thoughts. Both the Abyss Plane and the Abyss Saint were captured by the God of Destruction.

These items are all spoils of war of the God of Destruction. Judging from the current situation, the God of Destruction has not informed the other gods of this news. It should be that the God of Destruction prepared them for his disciple. After all, the Trident of the Sea God has an owner. Without the Sea God's divine position, it would be difficult to match with the disciple of the God of Destruction. As for the Scepter of Destruction, it is the God of Destruction's super artifact. This thing should have been passed down along with the God of Destruction's divine position. I wonder if the God of Destruction has any intention of passing on his divine position.

Therefore, she absolutely cannot take it.

Even if she took it, she wouldn't escape the God of Destruction's reckoning. Even the Asura God Tang San couldn't protect it. The God of Destruction had no grounds against either the good or evil God Kings, since it was their spoils of war. Moreover, it would completely expose her presence here.

The God of Light scoffed, "A pointless test!"

The Abyss Saint King smiled slightly.

He recalled the deity who wielded destructive power even greater than his mother's, the one who had previously captured him and the Abyss Plane. That deity was likely a God-King from the Douluo God Realm, and most likely not the Tang God-King mentioned by the God of Light. Regardless of whether it was or not, the fact that this super artifact hadn't been taken by the other party was enough to prove that the Douluo God Realm had more than one God-King. After all, only a God-King could inspire fear in another God-King, indicating that they were in conflict with each other.

And that human named Anzhen, whom even the Tang God King couldn't directly eliminate, most likely has a God King standing behind him.

“I know this may be the last glimmer of hope I can seize,” said the Abyss Saint. “Therefore, I must hold onto this opportunity tightly.”

If he really targets Anzhen's people and eliminates Anzhen as the other party says, he will most likely face retribution from the god-king behind Anzhen afterward.

But otherwise, he would only become "food" on the dining table.

Unless he can find the protection of another power.

"Remove the word 'maybe'," Light God sneered.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking right now."

The Abyss Saint King watched her silently.

"On this matter," the God of Light said, "you have no choice. Since you want to know, then I will tell you. The deity who captured you and this abyss plane is none other than the God-King of Destruction, who is now an enemy of the God of Asura and stands behind that An Zhen."

A mocking glint flashed in the Goddess of Light's beautiful eyes. "Not only that, capturing a powerful plane and having Douluo Star devour it to elevate the plane's level was originally proposed by the God of Destruction. Now that it has fallen into the hands of the God of Destruction and An Zhen, as the master of the plane, you should know very well what your fate will be. Now, your only chance of survival is to submit to the God of Asura."

The Abyss Saint King's expression was solemn. "I cannot prove what you are saying is true at the moment."

The God of Light frowned.

Then the Abyss Saint King changed the subject, "But I have no way of proving that what you said is false."

The Abyss Saint King lowered his posture, bowed slightly, and said respectfully, "Please convey to King Tang that I will do what he asked."

Upon hearing this, the God of Light's expression softened slightly. "Remember, this is your only chance."

After saying this, the God of Light's figure vanished in a wisp of light.

"My only chance?" The Abyss Saint repeated, a mocking glint in his eyes. He wouldn't so easily believe someone else's promise. His earlier agreement was merely a helpless act; his life had to be firmly in his own hands.

So, how do we break this deadlock?
The Abyss Saint King recalled a sentence the God of Light had said earlier: "Don't kill An Zhen first. Capture An Zhen's family members first, and then use them to exchange with An Zhen for several of Tang San's subordinates who were captured by An Zhen using extremely despicable and insidious means, especially one named Xiao Wu. Make sure she is safe."

"The God of Light so clearly and explicitly expressed the importance of Xiao Wu to me. This person must be someone very close and important to that God King Tang."

Perhaps the breakthrough lies in this little dance.

And then there's An Zhen.

The Abyss Saint Lord hates those who are connected by connections.

Regardless of how despicable and insidious the methods described by the God of Light were, the fact that An Zhen, a mere mortal, was able to capture Tang San's subordinate, the Asura God, was enough to demonstrate the latter's abilities. Considering what he knew about the actions of the God of Destruction, An Zhen was likely a very important person to that God of Destruction. If he were to cripple or kill him, wouldn't he be facing the wrath of the God of Destruction?
The Abyss Saint King did not believe that Tang San would be willing to protect him.

If the other party had that ability, they could have easily slapped An Zhen to death themselves; why would they need to hire him as a shill?

The Abyss Saint King was able to accept dying in battle against other inhabited planets.

But he couldn't accept ending his life so hastily and tragically, like a fish on a chopping board, served at the dinner table and devoured by others! (End of Chapter)
