"Um... Lord Yue Lao, although I live in a remote corner of the divine realm, I have heard of your illustrious name. I also heard that you have a good relationship with the other side, is that right?" Lu Bu didn't pay attention to the magic in Wang Yao's hand. He pointed south and asked in a mysterious tone.
"What over there?" Wang Yao's heart tightened when he heard Lu Bu's question. His relationship with Lu Da and Lin Chong was a closely guarded secret in the God Realm. How could Lu Bu possibly know about it?
"It's... over there..." Lu Bu winked meaningfully at Wang Yao, then deliberately raised his chin towards the south, the meaning of which was all too clear: he was undoubtedly referring to the Demon Realm.
"General Lü, what kind of joke are you making? How could I possibly have any connection with them? Do you think the gods are just sitting around doing nothing? Even if I have some kind of shady relationship with the Demon Realm, would they really agree to let me serve as the commander of the reinforcements and entrust me with the important task of resolving the God Realm's predicament?" Wang Yao rebuked seriously.
"Lord Yue, please don't play games with me. I know that you are a forger of gods and demons. It is said that not long ago you were only at the Golden Core stage, but now you have reached the Divine Transformation stage. Forging gods and demons requires us to run back and forth between them."
"The Old Man of the Moon is doing very well in the God Realm, how could he not have any connections there? Otherwise, how could the Old Man of the Moon have risen to such a high level so quickly?" Lu Bu asked Wang Yao with a mysterious expression.
"Hey, if you have any solid evidence that I'm colluding with the demon realm, then hurry up and show it to me. Whether you kill me or torture me, I'll go before the God Lord to confess my sins. But if you don't have any solid evidence, I advise you to stop spouting nonsense and having wild thoughts!"
"Unsettling the morale of the troops in the midst of battle is a damn serious crime!" Wang Yao was furious when he heard this person throwing mud at him based purely on speculation.
"Oh dear, my lord, please don't worry! What I mean is, if you have any connection with them, I have a plan to ensure our safety." Seeing Wang Yao's expression change, Lü Bu hurriedly smiled obsequiously and leaned closer to Wang Yao, speaking in a humble tone.
"Are you out of your mind because of those demon bastards? Even if I have connections over there, do you think I can make the demons retreat?" Wang Yao almost laughed out of anger at Lu Bu.
"That's not how it is, my lord. Please allow me to explain slowly." Lu Bu smiled slightly, waved his hand at Wang Yao, and then turned his head to look warily at the entrance of the temple.
"Actually, before you came, I had the idea of going there. But think about it, if our God Realm loses the Sea-Reclaiming Divine Domain, what bargaining chips do we have left to fight against the Demon Realm?"
"Rather than being defeated by those demon bastards and becoming their food, why don't we just join them? Maybe we'll have a brighter future. Think about it, sir. Even if the demon realm conquers the divine realm, can they just kill all those millions of divine beings?"
"Even if we could kill them all, it would be a huge waste! Wouldn't it be better to keep those divine beings in captivity, eat them slowly, or let them mine or farm, so they can do something beneficial for the demon realm?"
"In this way, the lives of most of the gods will be preserved, and it will also benefit the demon realm. My lord, do you agree with my consideration?"
"But if we want those gods to be less impulsive and obedient, given their general nature, most of them would rather die than submit to the demon cubs. Therefore, the best way for the demon realm is to appoint a powerful god who has voluntarily submitted to lead the gods of the dead realm."
“It would be much better to let the gods govern themselves. My lord, you see, my cultivation level is neither too high nor too low. I can win the respect of the gods without arousing the fear of the demons. If I were to voluntarily join them, wouldn’t that position be the most suitable?” Lu Bu asked Wang Yao in a low voice.
Lu Bu's words struck Wang Yao like a thunderbolt, leaving him completely bewildered. He stared at Lu Bu with astonishment and uncertainty, never expecting that such a deity could emerge from the magnificent divine realm.
"What I'm worried about is..." Lu Bu didn't look at the changes in Wang Yao's expression. He frowned and continued speaking to himself, his eyes gradually wandering, clearly having become completely absorbed in his own thoughts.
"Although I am willing to abandon the darkness and embrace the light, the demons are currently on the rise. If I go there with all my heart and soul, only to be rejected and even treated as food delivered to their door, wouldn't all my efforts be in vain?"
"And even if they accept me, but don't respect me and look down on me, wouldn't my position be very awkward after I go there?"
"After all, I still want to do something there, so there should be some explanation beforehand about my responsibilities and treatment after I go there, right?" Lu Bu continued to ask.
Wang Yao listened to Lü Bu rambling on and on, and it took him a while to regain his composure. A thousand thoughts raced through his mind. His first suspicion was that Lü Bu was acting on the orders of the Unyielding God, and was testing him.
Otherwise, how could someone surnamed Lü have such audacity? They've only just met!
Moreover, Wang Yao has only recently taken office as the commander of the Three Realms' reinforcements. Has this kid swallowed the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard, daring to openly talk about that treacherous plot to my face? Isn't he afraid that I will be furious and chop this shameless traitor to pieces?
...Okay, I'm not as skilled as him, so I can't kill him, but isn't he afraid that I'll play along with him and then report him to the Unyielding God? Is this Lu Bu someone whose brain hasn't fully developed yet?
However, after carefully examining Lü Bu, Wang Yao couldn't see any sign of testing him. He was greatly puzzled. What kind of traitorous face did he have that gave this kid so much confidence that he could persuade him to surrender with him?
