In a boundless space, several dim lights appeared and expanded, each occupying its own space without encroaching on the others.
Secret and silent communication.
"The fact that everyone can come together means that an agreement has been reached..."
"Why bother with all this nonsense? Aren't you just a bunch of worthless dogs trembling together, trying to escape their fate of death?"
This extremely irritable voice interrupted the previous evil god's speech, blatantly tearing off the veil of pretense.
The other evil gods cast hostile glances at him, but this one showed no fear whatsoever, and said fiercely:
"You still have time, but for me, that jinx is less than 300 kilometers away."
He's been there for three days now, and he might come hunting me down at any moment.
"Even if my physical body is still fine, at most I'll only lose a portion of my power, but this part of my consciousness will be forever extinguished!"
The evil gods remained silent; the fear of waiting for death is always the strongest, and no god wanted to provoke Him at this time.
"Let's get down to business then."
In the shadows, a wriggling tentacle flashed by:
"First, is it absolutely impossible for us to reach a reconciliation with that person?"
A soft, ethereal female voice calmly replied:
"Reconciliation is impossible. He has killed too many of our kind along the way. Even the one who was most skilled in negotiation and cunning still died at His hands after three days."
"Clearly, this person's attitude towards us is to kill!"
A rustling sound arose, and the evil gods were still unable to calm down upon hearing this fact.
"I still don't understand why He did this. Although we are all competitors in this world, His attitude is too intense."
An evil god couldn't contain himself and said.
It was that same rough, evil god's voice, which sneered as it asked, "What's the reason?"
My followers on the human side tell me that He wants to devour us. Do you believe that?
They looked at each other, none of them believing it.
Are you kidding me? Over the years, I've rarely heard of anyone targeting their lineage of evil gods. Aren't you afraid of getting diarrhea?
Then, the very first voice rang out:
“I believe that the myriad worlds are so vast that even we, who are called gods, have only experienced less than one ten-thousandth of them.”
There will always be someone with a good appetite who can digest us.
Silence, a chilling silence.
After a long while, the evil god spoke with difficulty:
"So, we were just unlucky to run into this weirdo."
Who can argue with that?
"Since reconciliation is impossible, we have no choice but to fight to the death in order to survive."
"I hope some of these gods will be more sensible and not engage in any underhanded tactics, thinking they can conserve their strength and then come to reap the benefits after we and that person have both been severely weakened..."
The first evil god to speak, temporarily assuming the position of leader, spoke earnestly.
Regardless of their inner thoughts, the other evil gods outwardly gave righteous and indignant answers:
"Of course not."
"We can distinguish between what's important and what's not."
"Yes, yes, at least we should wait until the outcome is decided before... uh, I mean..."
For the sake of harmony, the leader reluctantly ignored the slip of the tongue by some evil gods and forcibly changed the subject:
"With everyone united, I refuse to believe we can't defeat that being. No matter how strong He is, He can't withstand our combined efforts!"
This time, all the evil gods responded enthusiastically and with great confidence.
That's right, even a multitude of ants can kill an elephant, let alone those ants who are not weak compared to that one.
After reaching an agreement, the meeting was nearing its end. Expecting a group of chaotic and evil gods to discuss tactics and strategies was wishful thinking.
Finally, it was only a preliminary determination among the evil gods that when the one who had defeated the irritable evil god was defeated, everyone went all out and used their strength to overcome all obstacles.
They couldn't control the other gods' own schemes, so they had to rely on their individual abilities to succeed.
…………
This way.
Chu Yunfan fell into insomnia again, so he got up and smoked a cigarette. The red dots that flickered in the night were very noticeable.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but cigarette butts were scattered all over the ground around him.
"Can't you sleep?"
The sudden sound made Chu Yunfan sway. He casually stubbed out his cigarette, wiped his face, and said with a wry smile:
"Looks like I'm not cut out for big things. Being nervous is one thing, but mainly—"
He touched his chest, his brow furrowed.
"I'm so scared."
High up in the tree, Ling Xiao didn't mock the protagonist's cowardice. Why should someone be expected to be absolutely calm and absolutely correct? She herself couldn't do it.
Once Chu Yunfan started talking, he didn't care that there was a terrifying demon god above him. He talked more and more, and even brought up the fact that he had never smoked before.
"...I didn't know what cigarettes tasted like, and I even looked down on people who used cigarettes to relieve stress."
"Now I finally understand how naive I was before, letting the world arrange things for me."
Chu Yunfan joked that even the fact that he didn't smoke might have been added by the world to make him more attractive to girls.
"Is it ridiculous? I don't think so."
Ling Xiao's smiling voice was like that of a elusive fairy or mountain spirit in a secluded forest:
“How could someone who is willing to follow me and risk their life be a ridiculous person?”
"However, since you've agreed to it, you'd better not go back on your word halfway through, or I'll get angry."
Chu Yunfan tilted his head slightly, and a black line flashed across his long, fair neck, disappearing into his chest.
"You took out insurance a long time ago, and you're still afraid I'll change my mind."
Ling Xiao complained that for protagonists like you, there's an 80% chance that these contracts and constraints will be ineffective.
The demon god remained silent, so Chu Yunfan simply muttered to himself:
"Honestly, as the son of the world, wouldn't it be a bit ungrateful of me to help outsiders misappropriate my own father's assets?"
"Of course not for me," Ling Xiao replied in her mind.
