The City Lord of Extreme Bliss did not seem angry at Li Xiaotian's refusal, but instead smiled and said.
"Are you worried about me? Afraid of seeking skin from a tiger?"
"Senior is joking, this junior has no such intention," Li Xiaotian replied, startled. This was precisely what he was thinking, but he dared not say it. This old man could clearly see through him and yet insisted on stating it so plainly. What was his intention?
"Relax, I can swear that as long as you help me, I will never harm you. Moreover, we both have the blood of the divine race flowing within us. I would not harm you."
The City Lord of Extreme Bliss spoke unhurriedly.
"Having the blood of the divine race flowing within us is both a blessing and a curse."
"Everyone envies us, is jealous of us, yet on the surface, they pretend to look down on us, ostracize us. Even the Divine Realm despises us."
"Heh, to put it plainly, we are the most pitiful kind of beings in the entire Void Universe."
"I can understand your wariness. There was a time when I, like you, was wary of everyone."
"But you must understand that beings like us are not accepted by anyone. Therefore, we should band together for warmth, and only then can we establish ourselves in the Void."
"Why do you think I have my own territory in the Fire Spirit Realm? You must know that when I established Extreme Bliss City, I was still a low-level invincible. Yet the Fire Spirit Realm tacitly allowed it with gritted teeth?"
"Senior, what do you mean by all this?" Li Xiaotian's heart stirred. It seemed his Ancient God physique had led the other party to misunderstand him. Outsiders all believed he had the bloodline of the Ancient God clan flowing within him.
But only he knew the truth; it was all something he had devoured. dafeng.cn
However, the City Lord of Extreme Bliss's words piqued his curiosity. Judging by the other party's words, it seemed that in the Void Universe, those with the semi-divine bloodline were banding together for warmth, secretly building a formidable force.
Semi-divine race, referred to beings with the divine race's bloodline flowing within them. They were not recognized by the Divine Realm, nor accepted by other worlds, making them the most awkward existence.
The fact that the City Lord of Extreme Bliss could establish Extreme Bliss City in the Fire Spirit Realm during his low-level stage clearly indicated he had strong backing.
But this backing was evidently not from the Divine Realm. The City Lord of Extreme Bliss's words were laced with hidden meanings.
Li Xiaotian's eyes flickered. He wondered how powerful this alliance of semi-divine beings was. And what was their relationship with the Divine Realm? Were they enemies or subordinates?
"I will tell you first, you are not alone. You don't need to be so wary of me. As for wanting to know more, then help me. Regardless of the outcome, I will tell you everything," the City Lord of Extreme Bliss said mysteriously, then added.
"To show my sincerity, after we enter the palace, I will kill Huntu for you. Anyone who dares to bully my kind, Huntu must die!"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaotian's eyes narrowed. To gain his trust, the other party was willing to actively kill Huntu. This oath of allegiance was a significant gesture.
After all, the City Lord could have chosen to cooperate with Huntu. Huntu was a mid-level expert and surely possessed some life-saving trump cards.
Yet, the City Lord chose to cooperate with him instead, and with such sincerity, it made it difficult for Li Xiaotian to make a judgment.
Could it be that the City Lord also considered him a semi-divine being?
"Senior, this junior will consider it," Li Xiaotian replied, not agreeing immediately. After all, given his status, being overly cautious was never a mistake.
"Heh, good, no rush, little fellow. You are much stronger than I was back then," the City Lord of Extreme Bliss smiled, showing no sign of anger.
Li Xiaotian was speechless. "Little fellow." He was already in his thirties, yet he was being called "little fellow." This was the first time he had encountered such a thing.
However, he could understand. After all, the City Lord of Extreme Bliss was an ancient being who had lived for who knew how many tens of thousands of years. Being called "little fellow" by him did not make him feel at all disadvantaged.
Li Xiaotian closed his eyes in contemplation, pondering the words of the City Lord of Extreme Bliss.
Based on the information he possessed, there were no established powers of semi-divine beings in the Void Universe. But from the City Lord of Extreme Bliss's words, he could deduce that such a force existed, and its power must be terrifying.
So, what was the relationship between this force and the Divine Realm?
The outside world was unaware of this force, meaning they had been operating in secret. Therefore, the Divine Realm might very well be unaware of them as well.
If that were the case, this force was very likely to be standing in opposition to the Divine Realm.
If that were true, then after cooperating with the City Lord of Extreme Bliss, he would also be joining this force.
Li Xiaotian's eyes flickered, making it difficult for him to decide. If this force was opposed to the Divine Realm, then he would certainly want to join, as the enemy of his enemy is his friend.
But if this force was a mere pawn of the Divine Realm, then joining them would carry significant risks.
A month passed in the blink of an eye. Another wave of tides arrived. This time, more treasures flew out of the palace on the mountaintop than before, a total of fifteen items. Li Xiaotian, naturally, easily seized one.
This time, he abided by the rules. After grabbing one item, he returned to his position. It was a pill named the Heaven-Breaking Pill, capable of assisting Heavenly-level cultivators in breaking through to Invincible.
To be frank, although the value of this pill was not too high in Li Xiaotian's hands, it was the one he was most satisfied with.
After all, the Demon Lord had not yet broken through. If by the time he returned to Jiuzhou again and the Demon Lord still hadn't broken through, then this Heaven-Breaking Pill would be of great use.
Moreover, even if it wasn't for the Demon Lord, Jiuzhou needed invincible powerhouses.
