The atmosphere inside the space was stagnant.
The azure projection of the sea god, with its piercing gaze, scrutinized Ning Liu, awaiting an answer.
Di Tian lay prostrate on the ground, staring nervously at the Sea God, then at his own master, his mind a jumbled mess.
Enemy, ally, questioner...
These identities kept switching between the god before him, leaving him completely at a loss as to how to deal with it.
Xiao Wu hugged the Trident of Poseidon tightly, her little face tense, standing next to Ning Liu.
Only Gu Yuena, that newly formed silver figure, remained calm.
She didn't say anything.
The Sea God is a first-level deity in the divine realm, possessing immense power.
However, in terms of divine status and origin, she is still a level below her prime.
But the trident in his hand was a genuine divine weapon.
The Sea God, possessing a supreme artifact, could even contend with the five God-Kings of the God Realm.
More importantly, Gu Yuena's memory of this rising star god wasn't too bad.
The ancient war between the gods was a bloodbath that flowed like rivers.
Led by the war faction, including the God of Asura, the gods of the divine realm ruthlessly slaughtered the dragon race.
However, the lineage of gods led by the Sea God is different.
They participated in the war, but their primary goal was to defeat and suppress the dragons rather than exterminate them.
After the war, many of the dragon clan's collateral branches, serving as divine beasts or priests under the sea god, remained in the divine realm, thus preserving their lives.
His divinity, like the ocean, encompasses all things and is not merely about destruction and judgment.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuena's tense nerves relaxed a little.
The current situation does not seem to have reached its worst point yet.
In the midst of this oppressive silence, Ning Liu suddenly smiled.
He stepped forward, and his relaxed demeanor instantly broke the tense atmosphere in the arena.
"Senior Poseidon, why are you being so serious?"
This sentence stunned everyone.
Di Tian almost spat out a breath of dragon's breath.
serious?
Isn't this serious enough?
The chief gods of the divine realm have come knocking on our door!
Are you made of iron?
The projection of Poseidon also paused slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in its deep eyes.
Ning Liu, however, seemed oblivious to their reactions and continued speaking to himself:
"Have you forgotten how your lover was revived?"
boom!
These words shook the Sea God's projection even more than when Ning Liu took out the Asura Demon Sword.
The azure figure visibly swayed.
yes!
His lover was the softest and most grateful thing in his heart.
Ning Liu's methods at that time...
Ning Liu shrugged, his smile as frank as that of a pure businessman.
"I'm just a businessman."
"If there's something good, it will naturally be sold to whoever can afford the price."
He pointed at the Sea God, then at Gu Yuena beside him, speaking as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"If I can trade with you, then naturally I can also trade with His Highness the Silver Dragon King. It's simply a fair trade where everyone gets what they need."
Di Tian's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he heard this.
trade?
Fair trade?
You call the divine object that healed the Lord's eternal wounds a "good thing"? You call overthrowing the divine realm "each taking what they need"?
He had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, and this was the first time he had ever seen someone speak of treason and collusion with the enemy in such a fresh and unconventional way, so... natural and just.
The projection of Poseidon fell completely silent.
His eyes were fixed intently on Ning Liu.
He had only speculated that Ning Liu might be related to Gu Yuena's awakening.
Now, Ning Liu has admitted it himself.
Moreover, it was done in a way that he couldn't refute at all.
Yes, he accepted Ning Liu's "deal," giving his lover a chance to be resurrected.
Then what grounds does he have to accuse Gu Yuena of accepting the same "deal" to heal herself?
"I see……"
As if he had figured something out, Poseidon's gaze suddenly sharpened.
"The means that allowed me to revive my lover were beyond the reach of even the Five Great God-Kings!"
"Now it can even repair Gu Yuena's soul injury... This kind of thing, defying fate, is unheard of even in the God Realm..."
His gaze lingered on Gu Yuena for a moment, sensing the still slightly weak but revitalized divine soul essence within her.
A name, long buried in the oldest scriptures of the divine realm, suddenly jumped into his mind.
The projection of the sea god, because of this name, fluctuated violently once again, even its voice trembling slightly.
"Seven-Colored Divine Lotus..."
"It's actually the Seven-Colored Divine Lotus!"
Ning Liu raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised.
As expected of the chief god of the divine realm, his knowledge is indeed extraordinary, as he was able to call out the name of the divine lotus in one breath.
Ignoring the reactions of the crowd, the sea god muttered to himself.
"The flower has seven petals, each a different color, and it nourishes the soul and replenishes the essence..."
"In the realm of gods, only the God of Life, who wields the laws of life, has ever been fortunate enough to obtain a seed of this thing. He has spent countless millennia of divine power nurturing it, yet it has still not blossomed!"
"you……"
The sea god looked at Ning Liu, his voice filled with incomprehensible confusion and absurdity.
"You actually have a finished product?!"
