Chapter 258 Origin Power
Lin Ye waited for quite a while, but his reward still hadn't arrived.

He immediately looked at Gongsun, only to see that the guy had a smirk on his face, clearly knowing why Lin Ye was looking at him.

"Can I write you an IOU?" Gongsun asked without feeling ashamed at all.

"No." Lin Ye refused directly.

No negotiation!

We must completely extinguish Gongsun's desire to bargain. The only way is to firmly refuse any of his requests to delay.

This guy is very cunning; you absolutely cannot easily reach any agreements with him.

That's just playing with their own interests.

"Oh dear, you're really determined to drain me dry..." Gongsun said with a hint of distress.

Anyone who didn't know better would think Lin Ye was incredibly greedy, driving Gongsun to this state; he really does look rather pitiful.

"Stop talking nonsense, or I'll take that as a breach of contract!"

Lin Ye said in a very firm tone.

This leaves Gongsun with absolutely no way out. Given Gongsun's current state, he cannot afford to suffer further harm due to breach of contract.

Even if they don't die, they'll probably have to lie low for a very long time before they can possibly come out and cause trouble again.

This was undoubtedly extremely difficult for Gongsun, whose personality was such that he could never stay idle.

At that moment, he reluctantly reached out his hand to Lin Ye.

On his outstretched palm was a dark green plaque covered with intricate, haphazard patterns, with shimmering light constantly flowing within them.

"This is..." Lin Ye raised his eyelids, somewhat curious.

According to the game rules, as the winner, Lin Ye can obtain a treasure equal to the value of his collateral.

Since Gongsun was able to produce this item, it proved that the value of this token was comparable to that of Lin Ye's collateral, the 'Rule Coin'.

“This is the Origin Token…” Gongsun said with some regret, “It’s a token used to store Origin Power, and it contains thirty portions of Origin Power…”

"This doesn't seem to be of much use to me." Lin Ye was somewhat speechless.

He is neither a demon nor a demon god, so what use would it be to give him the power of origin?
Could it be that Gongsun is hoping to use this to lure me into becoming his follower?

This is simply impossible!
The last person to follow Gongsun, Gao Lanlan, is now dead beyond any doubt. With such a precedent, Lin Ye would never follow any demon god.

Needless to say, Lin Ye never had any intention of following others.

“You’re really short-sighted…” Gongsun was clearly speechless at Lin Ye’s words and said directly, “To others, this may be useless, but to you, it is the best thing.”

"If I weren't injured right now, I wouldn't have given up my source to you!" Gongsun complained.

Gao Lanlan, that good-for-nothing, really ruined his life.

To be able to be completely outmatched by such a high level of power and still be toyed with by Lin Ye is simply an extreme level of trashiness.

Of course, Gongsun also had his own guesses, but even though he knew it was true, he could only keep it to himself.

He finally understood why Lin Ye had asked him not to reveal any information he had learned in the game to anyone before the game started.

So that's what they were guarding against.

"You mean..." Lin Ye frowned. He really didn't know what use this thing could have for him.

Even in his previous life, he had never heard of any professional who could use primal power.

The primordial power is the source of power for the Abyss Demon God. It can be said to be a combination of the experience points and mana points of human professionals, and is extremely important.

But humans can't use this thing!

"Ugh! How stupid! This thing is an extremely important resource even for the strongest beings. I bet your human strongest being doesn't even have a hundred portions of primordial power." Gongsun rolled his eyes and said, "Now you know the value of this thing, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ye said nothing more and directly took the small stone tablet from Gongsun's palm.

Gongsun's meaning was roughly that as long as Lin Ye had the hope of becoming the strongest, then these primordial powers were absolutely good things.

As for what role these primordial forces will play in the future, Lin Ye has no idea.

But it's definitely not a loss, because it all depends on how you use it.

As the saying goes, money can make the devil turn the millstone, and with primal power, one can naturally ask the demon god to take action.

So this thing is indeed a double-edged sword, it all depends on how the owner uses it.

Upon obtaining the stone tablet, Lin Ye sensed a fierce aura emanating from the abyss, bursting forth from it and heading straight for his face.

However, the next moment, a white holy flame rose from Lin Ye's body, blocking this aura.

When Gongsun saw the holy flames appear on Lin Ye's body, he couldn't help but show fear. He immediately flashed away and retreated to a place ten meters away.

"It's that annoying flame again. It's a real shame it didn't kill you this time." Gongsun shook his head and sighed.

But there was nothing he could do; after all, he had chosen Gao Lanlan, who was Lin Ye's natural counter.
His failure this time was entirely reasonable; it can only be said that Lin Ye had too many secrets, and they were too unexpected.

Who could have predicted that the forest might be hiding a class whose strength is comparable to that of the Holy Flame Priest?
It can only be said that Gongsun's plan was flawless, but he lost because of fate.

Anyone else would have died in this game.

However, Lin Ye is an oddball, so he can't be treated like a normal person. It's normal for people to get frustrated with him.

If we don't kill Lin Ye this time, we probably won't have another chance.

Lin Ye wasn't surprised by Gongsun's wariness of him...

Holy Flame is one of the few powers that can directly harm Gongsun.

The so-called 'Holy Flame' is the purest purifying power in the Holy Light sequence, capable of purifying any demonic creature from the abyss.

Even the damage that 'Holy Flame' inflicts on monsters' health doesn't rely on a 'damage' mechanism, but rather on a direct denial at the rule level...

Even someone as powerful as Gongsun would be burned by the holy flames because of this power of rules.

Of course, Lin Ye's current Holy Flame is still too weak.

For the vast majority of demons, the threat is not significant.

However, if we let him grow up unchecked, it's hard to say what will happen.

Otherwise, Gongsun wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to kill Lin Ye...

Besides reclaiming his own treasure, it was also because Lin Ye's holy flame power could directly strike him.

This is what Gongsun fears most.

Lin Ye weighed the Origin Stone Tablet in his hand, which was suppressed by the power of the Holy Flame, looked at Gongsun in the distance, and said, "Don't forget, you still owe me a rule!"

"I know, I know!" Gongsun replied irritably.

This is a huge loss for them.

He was so frustrated that he couldn't maintain his usual elegance and became quite exasperated.

Seeing Gongsun like this, Lin Ye couldn't help but laugh.

"Fine, I'm leaving. I hope we never meet again!"

Having secured the benefits, Lin Ye immediately made his escape!
