Douluo Dalu: The Eyes That Defy Fate

Chapter 353 Selfishness at the expense of others
From the moment Oscar stepped through the door, he walked step by step into the trap prepared by Rong Nianbing.

From the very beginning, the "eagle" tactic forced them to take the initiative to explain their purpose and relinquish control.

Then, she deliberately made a joke to make him relax and instinctively let down his guard.

He then bluntly revealed the plan that the Shrek Five had just discussed, causing Oscar to panic and lose his composure once again.

Finally, just as he was about to explode, she said, "Only I know," completely shattering his mental preparations before coming to her.

As expected, the result was exactly as Rong Nianbing had predicted.

After two periods of intense pressure followed by periods of relaxation, Oscar finally succumbed to the invisible pressure and surrendered.

Only the last sentence was somewhat ambiguous.

You should know that the mysterious person behind Douluo Star is not Rong Nianbing!
"Don't get confused. It's not about what I need you to do, but what that mysterious person is thinking."

"The key to your plan lies in two points: 'how to get to Douluo Star,' and what price you need to pay to get that person to accept you."

As she spoke, Rong Nianbing picked up her teacup, her expression returning to its usual calm.

"The first point is easy to explain. The mysterious person, knowing about the succession of the divine position, did not actively sever my connection with the successor. He must have learned about the situation in the divine realm through my channels."

“And that’s what I did, otherwise you sitting here would be no different from walking into a trap.”

"Therefore, as long as he agrees to my request to enter the realm, you will be able to go directly to the outer perimeter of Douluo Star through the two-way spatial passage and meet him."

"I knew you'd have a way! Hahaha, there's hope!"

Upon hearing this, Oscar beamed with joy, his excited expression making Rong Nianbing shake her head and chuckle.

My friend was truly terrified by the murderous aura of Shura. Upon hearing the news that there was a passage to escape, he lost even the most basic composure.

But what needs to be said must be said, not only for the safety of the Shrek Five Monsters, but also for my own future.

Yuhao is currently training under that 'Brother Lin', so even if he has some influence, he certainly won't have much to say.

Therefore, he must place more chips just in case.

"Don't get too excited! The second problem hasn't been solved yet!"

"You've been in the God Realm for over twenty years. You're practically penniless, if not dirt poor. What do you have to offer as a pledge of allegiance? The strength of a second-level god?"

"Excuse my bluntness, but since they have the audacity to break away from the realm of gods, they must have the confidence to defy the gods. They certainly don't need a few of you!"

(Lin Po: "You're talking nonsense! We're short-handed! The Spirit Realm has expanded too much, and we don't have enough laborers!")
Rong Nianbing's blunt words were like a bucket of cold water, directly extinguishing the flame of 'hope' in Oscar's heart.

The Shrek Five were notoriously poor in the God Realm.

Apart from Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, who had the foresight to bring a whole bunch of Douluo Star stuff, everyone else was penniless.

Most importantly, what assets can they accumulate without religious offerings?

The few things they managed to get their hands on were all taken away by Tang San for various inexplicable reasons and used as 'funds'.

"Then what should we do? Let alone us, I'm afraid you don't have anything of value either!"

"Oh, except for those seven knives."

At this moment, Oscar looked like a defeated rooster, slumped on the table, utterly dejected.

I regret my extravagant spending habits; if only I had been more frugal and saved more money.
Sigh, I can't save any money. Tang San always comes to beg for my money. His nose is more sensitive than a dog's, so I can't hide it at all!
"Life and death are predestined, wealth and honor are determined by fate. Thank you very much, Lao Bing, for today."

"If we fail to escape in the future, remember to build a grave for me and burn some paper money."

As if he had given up the struggle, Oscar slowly got up and walked towards the door, preparing to go back and discuss countermeasures with the other four monsters.

In contrast, that ridiculous "last words" left Rong Nianbing speechless, both amused and exasperated.

With such a minor disadvantage, even the game boosting and gaming services haven't put in any effort yet, so why did the boss give up first?

"Hey bro, wait a minute, I haven't finished talking yet, what's the rush?"

Oscar paused upon hearing this, turning to look at his friend with a helpless expression.

"You have a plan? Or are you planning to lend us your knife as a token of your loyalty?"

"Get lost! You really dare to think that way! But, I do have a method, it just depends on whether you dare to use it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Rong Nianbing felt a gust of wind, causing him to subconsciously squint his eyes.

When she opened her eyes again and regained her clear vision, she saw Oscar kneeling on the table, his big face facing her, almost touching hers.

"Dude, is it genuine?!" "Fuck you! Get the hell out of here!"

After a chaotic scene, Oscar, clutching his dark circles, stared intently at Rong Nianbing as if he had seen a rare beauty.

"You! Ugh, never mind, just finish what you have to say and get this over with!"

Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Rong Nianbing was completely at a loss.

He stopped using riddles and explained his ideas in the simplest and clearest way.

"Let me tell you straight, that big shot on Douluo Star hates Tang San to the core."

"According to my successor, he captured Tang Hao and A Yin, who were hiding deep in the world, early on and locked them up in an unknown place for training."

"Recently, after successfully emerging from seclusion, Ah Yin immediately rebelled, not only personally striking down Tang San's various methods left in the lower realm, but also earning praise and forgiveness from the big boss."

"So, as long as you can do something that makes Tang San despair, he will definitely take you in!"

There was no praise or adoration as expected, nor any cheers or jubilation as anticipated. The Oscars were merely a spectacle, devoid of joy.

"Dude, if you're not going to thank me, fine, but why are you giving me that deadpan look? Didn't you understand?"

"That's why I'm looking at you like this!"

Snapped!
The next second, Oscar slammed his fist on the table, pointed at himself, and said angrily:
"Shouldn't you consider reality before you speak?"

"Make Tang San despair? If we had that ability, would we be here scratching our heads, searching for an escape route?!"

"The method is definitely right, the problem is you don't have the skills, bro!"

"What about Xiao Wu?" Rong Nianbing glanced at her friend, who was flushed with excitement, picked up her teacup, took a sip, and said in a low voice.

"You're talking about Xiao Wu? Why are you bringing her up?"

Oscar's temperature dropped slightly after hearing this, and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.

Why would someone who doesn't even have a divine position pick up a sword sheath and play with it?

Holy crap, this is amazing!

In an instant, he suddenly understood the deeper meaning behind Rong Nianbing's words, but he also felt an inappropriate hesitation.

"Hiss! Wait a minute! Isn't it a bit inappropriate to say what you're thinking? It's like the saying 'the harm shouldn't extend to family members' (meaning the family shouldn't be implicated')."

"Hmm~ You can choose not to do it; it's just a matter of dying anyway~"

Oscar: "."

That's easy for you to say. It's not you who's going to die!
Little dance
Girl, I'm so sorry!
A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist!

In the blink of an eye, Oscar made up his mind to use his former brothers and sisters as bargaining chips to exchange for life and peace.

He knew, of course, that this method would disrupt harmony, but it was indeed the best choice for the Shrek Five.

You have to choose between life and the few remaining friendships.

Furthermore, Xiao Wu is quite beautiful and is a soul beast. What if that mysterious person has some kind of peculiar fetish and doesn't kill her?

(Lin Po, far away on the outskirts of Douluo Star: "Achoo! I feel like someone is slandering me!")
"Life is more important! Let's do it!"

"Old Bing, give me another idea! How do we get Xiao Wu out of the Sea God's Temple?!"

Seeing this, Rong Nianbing finally revealed a satisfied smile.

The brick I threw out to get the ball in has arrived!

"It's very simple. Once the God of Destruction and the others have recovered, they will summon all the gods to go to the Temple of the Sea God."

Do I need to say more about what happens next?

"I understand. What about that dimensional portal?"

"I just got their permission, and we can connect anytime."

"Okay! I'll go back and help them prepare!"

Watching the departing figure hurry away, the God of Emotions felt a sense of relief, then turned and went back into the house.

He should also make arrangements for evacuating from the realm of gods!
