Chapter 1309: Chapter 454: Scheming and Backstabbing
Watching Haotian God’s departing figure, the Demon King smiled faintly, his expression becoming somewhat playful.
No one dared to guarantee how much of their previous conversation was true and how much was false.
Haotian God’s thoughts were unknown to the Demon King.
However, the Demon King believed that Haotian didn’t know what he was thinking either.
Mutual trust? It doesn’t exist.
At their level, such alliances are merely combinations of interests; they cannot become truly trusting individuals.
After Haotian God left the Demon King’s place, he concealed himself and secretly came to Tian Hao’s side.
Tian Hao was already somewhat nervous due to Haotian’s arrival.
Upon suddenly seeing Haotian appear right before him, his heart tightened instantly, and he almost turned around to run.
Haotian God is a Creation Realm expert, and if he suddenly attacked, Tian Hao might not be able to withstand it.
"Don’t be nervous, I mean you no harm. You and I were originally one, and now that you’ve become an independent entity, we are still the closest of people and can be considered brothers," Haotian God said.
Upon hearing Haotian God’s words, Tian Hao tried to suppress the tension within his heart and said in a deep voice, "Haotian, what do you mean?"
Haotian God did not answer him but instead asked, "What do you think of the Demon King?"
The Demon King?
Tian Hao was slightly taken aback, hesitated for a moment, and then directly said, "The Demon King is the greatest existence in this world. He single-handedly created the Demon Realm and blocked the invasion of the Three Realms; he is the master of the entire Demon Realm, the person I admire the most."
Haotian God: "..."
"Speak plainly," Haotian God reacted and said irritably.
Tian Hao stared at Haotian God, his expression somewhat suspicious.
"Weren’t you sent by the Demon King to test me?"
Only then did Haotian God understand what was going on and nearly slapped him. What was this guy thinking?
Clearly, he was his own incarnation, and his intelligence was the same, but why so stupid?
Tian Hao didn’t even consider that he and the Demon King were on the same level, so how could the other party direct him?
Haotian God sneered, "You think the Demon King can direct me? Do you look down on me or overestimate him?"
Only then did Tian Hao realize this point, and he smiled awkwardly.
Haotian God is different from himself; he is a great master of the Creation Realm, the Demon King can direct himself, but he can’t direct Haotian God.
Thinking this through, Tian Hao felt relieved.
He gave Haotian a look, Haotian God understood.
In the next moment, he exerted his mana, isolating everything here.
Even if the Demon King’s Divine Thought came here, he couldn’t know what they were saying.
Only then did Tian Hao relax, and with his expression slightly serious, asked, "You know very well what the Demon King is like. I can’t see through him, nor do I trust him. For now, I’m merely pretending with him, sooner or later it will come to a showdown."
"Unless you enter the Creation Realm, otherwise confronting a Creation Realm expert is sure death," Haotian God said indifferently.
"I know, that’s why I haven’t confronted him yet. What exactly do you mean?" Tian Hao stared at Haotian God, wanting to know what he intended.
At this point, Tian Hao roughly understood that Haotian didn’t intend to harm him; he must have come for another matter.
"I want to truly join forces with you," Haotian God said.
Tian Hao stared at him, his eyes somewhat suspicious.
"We are truly the closest of people. Originally, we were one, and now even more like brothers. Rest assured, I won’t harm you," Haotian God said sincerely.
Tian Hao’s expression was somewhat indifferent.
He didn’t believe Haotian’s words but didn’t refute them either, signaling him to continue.
Haotian God continued, "Therefore, our interests are consistent. I have already become a Creation Realm expert and no longer need to merge with you. Previously, I planned to use the incarnation to ascend to the Creation Realm, but now I hope to have one more closest person."
Tian Hao’s heart moved, though still somewhat suspicious, he indeed felt tempted.
In the end, Haotian God and he were one entity, now divided into two people, but this couldn’t be denied.
Haotian God wanted him to believe, and Tian Hao indeed found himself somewhat wanting to believe.
"So, what exactly do you want me to do?" Tian Hao asked.
Haotian God then smiled and said, "Very simple, you help me monitor the Demon King’s actions, and if there’s any abnormality, inform me immediately."
"Just this?" Tian Hao was slightly taken aback. Haotian God had talked for so long only to ask him to do such a trivial thing; he was somewhat confused.
Nodding, Haotian God smiled and said, "I certainly won’t ask you to do anything dangerous. Just keep an eye on the Demon King’s movements for me; it’s very important to me."
"No problem," Tian Hao agreed.
After all, it didn’t pose any loss to him.
Haotian God said, "Thank you, brother."
Tian Hao couldn’t help but roll his eyes, still not trusting Haotian God.
Being an incarnation of Haotian God, he knew Haotian God too well.
If the other party knew how to be grateful, he wouldn’t have reached this point.
However, he didn’t mind doing this trivial favor.
It would be best if Haotian God and the Demon King ended up injuring each other, and he could assimilate Haotian God, kill the Demon King, and then replace them both.
Tian Hao conceived a good plan while outwardly pretending with Haotian.
"No need to thank. You’ve already said we’re one entity, and you even call me brother, so naturally, I should help you," Tian Hao said solemnly.
"Great, from now on, we will share fortune and hardship together, jointly controlling the Three Realms and reigning supreme over all territories," Haotian God said excitedly.
Subsequently, he reminded Tian Hao not to forget what he told him. After getting his confirmation, Haotian God finally left.
However, as soon as he turned his face, it darkened, and a cold light flickered in his eyes.
Watching Haotian God’s departing figure, Tian Hao’s smile became restrained, his face full of coldness.
It was clear that neither of them was sincere, all putting on a show. Not a word they said could be trusted.
Seeing Haotian God leave, Tian Hao took a deep breath, a gleam flashing in his eyes, then left this place.
The next time he appeared, he was with the Demon King.
Tian Hao relayed everything Haotian had told him to the Demon King.
A cold light flashed in the Demon King’s eyes, and he sneered, "A mere pawn actually deludes himself into defying the heavens. Does Haotian really think he has escaped? He knows nothing at all."
At this point, the Demon King glanced at Tian Hao, showing a satisfied expression.
"You’ve done well. Rest assured, as long as you’re loyal to me, everything you want, I can grant you. Just keep an eye on Haotian’s movements and report any abnormality to me."
"Yes."
Tian Hao said respectfully.
