"Why does that sound so familiar?"

Ye Bai frowned, suspecting that the other party was the Fifth Demon God in disguise.

You're always thinking of ways to throw yourself a feast, aren't you!

Sensing that Shura might have misunderstood, the Sea God quickly explained.

"As a god, if I am killed once inside the Eternal Tower, I will not die immediately, but I will lose a level."

Is there really such a good thing?

"I must drop below level 990 before I can leave the Eternal Tower."

The explanation from the sea god is reasonable and easy to put together.

It's just killing a god, it's not like it's the first time Ye Bai has done it!

He's soloed level 1000 monsters, so what's a mere Poseidon?

Moreover, this request was made by the Sea God himself, and the other party will cooperate with Ye Bai.

In practice, it is indeed very easy to implement and get started with.

Ye Bai sighed,

"Going to become the eighth demon god, and still wanting to win in the final round? That's wishful thinking..."

As we all know, seventh and eighth place are the places where points drop.

Poseidon's path was narrow from the very beginning.

Of course, this is not something Ye Bai needs to consider.

The only thing Ye Bai would consider for the enemy was how to collect as many spoils as possible after the enemy died.

However, the Sea God's suggestion was too significant, and Ye Bai felt that it needed to be considered carefully.

Let's go through it from the beginning.

Ye Bai began asking questions at his own pace.

My turn! Question!

"Since you want to ascend, why don't you become stronger within the Eternal Temple and then ascend away?"

Ye Bai's first question was very direct.

Becoming a demon god is for the purpose of ascension.

The sea god himself is a deity within the Eternal Temple, so why can't he ascend directly?

If limited by talent and strength, even if the Sea God becomes a Demon God, he will not have the chance to ascend successfully!

The Sea God had long anticipated that Shura wouldn't be so easily persuaded, and he was prepared for this.

Poseidon frankly stated,

"The Eternal Temple was originally designed to stop war."

According to the Sea God's previous explanation, the reason for building the Eternal Tower was to escape the fate of the strongest being destined to die and to stop the endless wars between all races.

Among them, the most serious internal friction occurs in the level range from 990 to 999.

Poseidon explained,

"As designed, all beings above level 990 will be forced to enter the Eternal Temple."

Within the Eternal Temple, even in the event of battle, there will be no true death. All quasi-gods and gods can cultivate in peace and strive to reach level 1000.

Upon reaching level 1000, you will automatically ascend to the upper realm and leave the Eternal Temple.

This design sounds reasonable.

Those who are level 990 or above have combat power that is different from other beings.

With a mere gesture, the God of War could easily annihilate a small abyss plane.

Ye Bai nodded slowly and pressed for an answer.

"So where did the problem lie?"

"There was a slight mishap."

Poseidon said helplessly.

"There were only two ascension slots at the same time. One was occupied by a forbidden being, and the other was occupied by the strongest human being."

Ye Bai: ......

That's alright then.

It's not surprising that the most powerful demon god occupies one of the ascension slots.

The strongest human being...that makes perfect sense!

Ye Bai raised an eyebrow.

"Does that mean that none of the gods within the Eternal Temple can ascend?"

Poseidon nodded. "Yes."

This isn't an eternal temple, it's an eternal prison!

These quasi-gods and deities never imagined they would be imprisoned in the Eternal Temple.

So, while Poseidon's plan is insane, it's currently the only solution!

"This is a big deal, we need to discuss it slowly."

Ye Bai invited the Sea God to sit down and had a long talk with him.

"Tell me where you need my help and where you need the help of the human race."

Then I'll quote a price that's like a god's slayer, we'll haggle a bit, and the deal will be done!

Poseidon: ......

This was the first time He had ever heard someone speak so openly and brazenly about overcharging customers, without batting an eye or feeling embarrassed.

but,

From a certain perspective, Shura's method of tearing away all the pretense and directly negotiating benefits with the Sea God was the most efficient.

The Sea God and Asura had a long history of feuds, so there was no need for them to try to get on each other's good side.

If the Sea God truly had the chance to take revenge, he wouldn't let Shura off the hook.

Both sides were well aware of this and tacitly avoided discussing it.

In business, let's settle this deal first.

"A complete plan...?"

The sea god spoke slowly.

"I need you to kill me eight times, dropping me to level 989, and then send me away from the Eternal Tower to the Eighth Abyss..."

After a moment of contemplation, the sea god spoke again.

"That should be all. Once I reach the Eighth Abyss, I'm confident I can become the Eighth Demon God on my own!"

To escape the Eternal Temple, the Sea God will have to pay a heavy price, losing 8 levels in a row.

Of course, a large sum of money also needs to be paid to Shura...

"Wait a minute."

Ye Bai interrupted the Sea God seriously and said earnestly,

"I heard that Xue Meng of the human race and the supreme seed Shura are going to play in the Eighth Abyss for a while."

If you were to compete for the title of Demon God, and were to encounter these two ferocious demons, and be killed by a single blow or a bolt of lightning, wouldn't all your efforts be wasted, resulting in a huge loss?

Poseidon: ? ? ?

Are you threatening me?!

This wasn't the first time Poseidon had made a deal with Shura.
