"The difference is huge, I'd guess 50 times?"
Xiao Chenyu didn't know how much different human beliefs were from those of snakes, but he felt that given the complexity of human thought, this aspect was definitely very high, but not to an unfathomable degree.
Unexpectedly, Hui Suyu gently shook her head:
"No, it's a difference of 1000 times."
"1000 times? Does that mean that the faith that one city of Condon provides for you would require nearly a hundred million snakes?" Xiao Chenyu was shocked as he spoke of the data.
“Yes, we still need 100 million snakes that can be called soul beasts. The faith of ordinary snakes is useless to me.” Hui Suyu nodded with a smile.
"No wonder...this road is completely impassable."
Xiao Chenyu instantly understood everything, and shook his head with a wry smile.
Hui Suyu smiled. "It seems you understand now. The only way to become a god is through human faith; there are no other paths."
“But this road is also blocked.” Xiao Chenyu shook his head.
There has always been a legend in Douluo Continent about million-year-old soul beasts becoming gods, but he wasn't foolish enough to ask that question.
Every 100,000 years, a 100,000-year-old soul beast must undergo a heavenly tribulation.
Success means continued survival, failure means annihilation.
With the strength of the Serpent Mother Suyu, she might be able to easily withstand the first few heavenly tribulations, but in the end, she would only face defeat and death.
Even the top-tier soul beasts in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest might not be able to withstand it, let alone the Snake Mother Su Yu, who is of similar strength but has no powerful backing.
With the only path to godhood through faith, human faith becomes something that must be fought for.
However, with several level 99 peerless Douluo in charge, they were like mountains pressing down on Hui Suyu, making it impossible for her to breathe.
Based on Xiao Chenyu's assessment of Hui Suyu, her strength should be around level 97-98. With the assistance of the Black Sky Serpent, she could easily sweep away their lineup this time.
“That’s right, there was no hope from the very beginning. My initial plan was to live in seclusion for hundreds of years, slowing down my growth as much as possible, and then become a god through the power of faith.”
Hui Suyu spoke of her plans with a smile, showing no sign of reservation.
"However, I seem to have found a better way now."
"You want to control me?"
Xiao Chenyu was no fool; he raised an eyebrow and revealed the other party's thoughts.
Given the other party's strength, it is indeed somewhat possible for them to control his development of faith.
"It's pointless. In the end, we'll all die. Even if you control me and wait for me to go up, it's still a dead end."
"It seems you know a lot."
Hui Suyu's eyes showed a hint of surprise as she smiled and said:
"I only learned a little about that place because of a chance opportunity. You people with connections are indeed different."
The Spirit Hall is backed by the Angel God, and Xiao Chenyu, whether this time or last time, is an insider of the Spirit Hall, a fact she is well aware of.
Therefore, she attributed it all to the other party's background.
"I guess so..."
Xiao Chenyu curled his lips. He knew so much not because of this, but because Tang Shenwang was inhuman.
To be honest, the God Realm is not as interesting as Douluo Continent, and it's incredibly chaotic and corrupt.
"So, I'm curious what your choice is?"
Getting back to the main topic, Xiao Chenyu frowned as he looked at Suyu the Snake Mother.
He knew the other party wouldn't make things too difficult, but he really couldn't imagine how they would manipulate him.
"A tomb of a deity, plus two soul rings over 100,000 years old, and two corresponding soul bones—what's the price for that?"
Hui Suyu spoke slowly and deliberately, a smile always on her lips.
Xiao Chenyu froze upon hearing just the first one, his face filled with disbelief.
By the time he heard the rest, he was completely stunned, staring at the other person in disbelief:
"I don't understand."
"You understand, but you just don't want to believe it."
Hui Suyu sighed and said softly:
“We are not human. At my stage, all we can think about is how to fight for a chance to survive.”
"Living is the instinct of all living things, and I am no exception."
“Originally, the hope I saw came from becoming a god. But after I learned that even becoming a god could not escape fate, I have been thinking about other methods.”
"But you have shown me another kind of hope."
Xiao Chenyu frowned slightly as he heard the last part:
"You trust me that much?"
"I believe in your talent, I believe even more in my judgment, and I believe in my abilities," Hui Suyu said with a bright smile.
Xiao Chenyu's lips twitched slightly, and he helplessly shrugged.
What can he do when faced with such a powerful figure who has high hopes for him?
In truth, both he and Hui Suyu knew very well that if the other party hadn't been unable to ensure their own death today, he certainly wouldn't have made it out alive.
If the cost of killing him weren't too high, Hui Suyu would definitely not mind keeping him alive.
It's just that because he came, he learned about the situation here, and the Spirit Hall will also learn about it.
Hui Suyu now has no way out.
In this situation, the other party will appear generous enough to lay all the conditions out in the open.
He seemed to be very generous in mentioning a lot of extremely valuable things, but as long as Xiao Chenyu gets out alive, these things will ultimately just be spoils of war.
However, doing so would come at too high a price for Xiao Chenyu, so high that he wouldn't choose that option.
Hui Suyu also knew this.
The final compromise was within their expectations.
Hui Suyu will choose to sacrifice herself with the Black Sky Serpent, transforming into a soul ring and soul bone.
But this does not mean they have perished. The likes of the Azure Bull Python can still retain a soul. With Hui Suyu's powerful spiritual strength, even if Xiao Chenyu did not become a god, she would not fall into silence.
Hui Suyu's previous words undoubtedly confirmed this point.
Xiao Chenyu naturally understood the meaning behind her words.
Even if he doesn't have the aptitude to become a god, Hui Suyu will do everything in her power to help him become a god for the sake of her future freedom.
Xiao Chenyu felt he had no reason to refuse this generous gift.
"I have no reason to refuse. Do I need to make any promises?" Xiao Chenyu said with a smile.
Hui Suyu smiled and shook her head, saying:
"You're smarter than me. We don't need these things between us. We'll be the closest comrades-in-arms, won't we?"
"yes."
Xiao Chenyu smiled nonchalantly and shook his head:
"This is insane! Other people's fourth spirit ring is at most ten thousand years, but mine is already a hundred thousand years!"
“Holy Son, even other people’s fourth soul ring isn’t ten thousand years old,” Yue Guan said with a complicated expression.
After the matter was settled, Hui Suyu released her control over the others, and Yue Guan and the other titled Douluo looked at Xiao Chenyu with complicated expressions.
Back when they were acquiring spirit rings, why didn't any 100,000-year-old spirit beasts willingly sacrifice themselves?
Is this the difference between people?
