[Yog's Hideout]

Yug was extremely respectful to Naraku, who had come uninvited.

There may indeed be a difference in strength among the true gods.

But this Naraku is right in front of me.

The first darkness at the beginning of creation was definitely a top-tier existence among true gods.

As a non-combatant knowledge god, one would already struggle in direct combat.

Not to mention... they were facing a true god who was a realm above them.

Moreover, he was one of the top experts among the true gods.

If we don't back down, what else can we do?

“I absolutely did not mean that to you. Every compliment I gave you came from the bottom of my heart.” Yug hunched over, rubbing his six hands together, doing everything he could to show humility.

I dare not let Naraku sense any hostility from me, not even a misunderstanding.

Yug didn't even have the idea of ​​fighting to the death.

That's like an ant trying to shake a tree.

"Really?"

"It is truly an honor for me that the great Naraku has graced us with his presence. I have long heard of your great name."

"It's such a pity we can't see it."

"Now that I am fortunate, I feel that my life has not been in vain."

"If you have any needs, I will do everything in my power, even at the cost of fire and water, to make them available to you!"

Although compliments sound like nothing more than farts to someone of this level of strength.

But at least it shows one's attitude.

As the embodiment of knowledge, Yog knew that Naraku wouldn't come after him for no reason.

However, regarding Yug's statement.

Naraku, however, remained unhurried, as if she were talking about something completely unrelated, saying, "Do you know a story about a man called the Swamp Man?"

Yug's eyes darted around, and he immediately replied, "I know, of course I know."

It had heard of this story.

Moreover, even if it had never heard of it, it already knew as soon as Naraku mentioned it.

"It's a story about someone who sinks into a swamp and then emerges as an exact replica of another person."

Naraku gave a mysterious smile.

"Yes, a person sinks into a hidden swamp, and then a person exactly the same emerges from the same hidden place."

"Is this person still the same person they were before?"

Yog smiled and said, "Lord Naraku, are you trying to discuss philosophical questions on this subject, or... is there something else you mean?"

It had already understood the meaning behind Naraku's words.

Or rather, they have already understood what Naraku was talking about.

However, it cannot act as if it has already figured out Naraku's words and thoughts in front of him. It still has to let Naraku tell it what he really means.

"I think someone knows what I mean by these words."

"Right~"

Naraku's smile was mysterious, but he looked toward another dark corner in this dark space.

Yog was not in Naraku's line of sight.

Yug noticed something and immediately directed his senses toward that direction, only to find that it was still empty and there was nothing there.

But then...

Surprisingly, right under Yug's nose, the darkness in that space gradually became chaotic.

A figure of unknown appearance moved faintly in the darkness.

Naraku spoke softly: "Tishi."

"I watched you grow up."

As Naraku called out his name directly, the image of that flowing black shadow gradually became clearer in Yug's perception!

Countless pieces of information about Tish flooded into its mind like a tidal wave.

[Divine Authority: Knowledge Acquisition—Upon receiving a piece of information, one immediately gains more knowledge about that information.]

This is the divine power that one acquires when one is a demigod.

Now that the power has reached the level of a quasi-god, the effect of this divine authority has become even more powerful. It can almost completely reconstruct the full picture of information when the name, incomplete records, or partial clues are known.

Tissit...

Divine Position - The Hidden God

Divine Power Rank: True God Divine Power

Depend on!

It's better not to know.

Upon learning this, Yug's forehead was instantly covered in beads of sweat.

Another true god.

Did he accidentally infiltrate the heartland of the true god?

"What happened to your position as the god of assassination? Why don't you want it anymore?" Naraku asked, seemingly oblivious to the situation.

The two of them slowly paced around Yug.

Yug, standing between the two, felt extremely uncomfortable.

A quasi-god, he can be considered a regional overlord.

If they were outside, they would be powerful beings at the level of plane lords or universe lords, but now they are like mice, having to keep their tails between their legs.

"I don't want it."

Tish's answer was also brief.

Tish's features were still unclear, but even in the blur, one could still make out the appearance of a little girl.

But appearance is something...

It never mattered.

The vast majority of false gods can now freely change their appearance.

The true God can even manifest in different forms.

"You've been listening, haven't you?"

Tish remained silent.

How long have you been here?

Yug felt a chill run down his spine when Naraku asked him that question.

I thought I had hidden myself well.

Little did he know that he had been being watched the whole time.

The hidden divine position is similar to the divine position of darkness.

Not only can Tish hide herself, but she can also sense those who are hiding themselves. Most hiding and concealment are exposed to Tish.

This is the duality of divine authority—control and countermeasure.

Tish simply paced around with Naraku without answering his question.

The atmosphere between the two was not harmonious.

Yug could even smell the tension between the two, and they might even start fighting at the slightest disagreement.

If a fight breaks out... who will suffer?

Caught between the two is myself!

Yug wanted to move away so the two of them could fight amongst themselves, but he discovered that they were revolving around him.

Yug carefully took two steps, and the two men followed suit.

Depend on……

So you two are treating me as the center of a circle, right?

"Aren't you interested in the story of the swamp people I just told you?"

"It seems like a similar story is happening in the real world now."

"What I don't know is..."

"Was the person who emerged from the swamp the one who sank or the one who floated up?"

Yog heard Naraku's parable.

But he swallowed hard.

If it cannot understand the implied meaning, then it is truly foolish to hold this position of knowledge.

"What does this have to do with you, Naraku?" Tish's tone remained unchanged.

There was no emotional fluctuation.

It was just like a casual chat question.

"Oh~"

"Maybe it has nothing to do with me. I was just bored for a long time and suddenly discovered something interesting."

"Tell me, can Rona's knowledge of everything really distinguish between truth and falsehood?"

"Can the Endless Cycle Body, one of the Three Illusions, be transferred to another life form?"

“I heard a story from my followers, something called Journey to the West.”

"One of the chapters is particularly interesting."

"It was called The True and False Monkey King."

“My followers told me that there are other interpretations of this story among the people. They say that the one who went to fetch the scriptures in the end was the Six-Eared Macaque, and the real Monkey King was suppressed as a fake one.”

“Oh, Tish, it seems you have no followers.”

"Haven't you heard this story before? If not, you can ask Yug to tell you. It definitely knows it."

Yug's face was twitching.

No……

I don't want to know.

Can you please not talk about these secrets in front of me? Are some of these secrets something that means I'll die if I hear them?

Seeing Yug stiffen, Naraku simply chuckled easily and didn't force Yug to tell any Journey to the West stories.

Instead, he laughed and said, "Actually, I can't tell either. There's a saying... when something is taken for truth, even truth becomes falsehood."

“A secret is still a secret. Even I have a hard time knowing the truth about what you’ve hidden.”

Naraku smiled at Tish and said, "I'm very curious. Can you tell me? I promise I won't let anyone else know."

Upon hearing Naraku's words, Yug shuddered.

The second person?

You, Him... and me?
