Seeing the City Lord of Bliss lose his composure, Li Xiaotian smiled and said.
“This is related to my Great Dao power, Senior. Is my situation acceptable?”
“You saved me. Although I am not a demigod, if you need it, I will become one.”
“If I’m not mistaken, the Temple of Demigods behind you is in opposition to the Divine Realm, isn’t it?”
“Otherwise, you wouldn’t have risked saving me.”
The City Lord of Bliss’s expression flickered upon hearing this, but then he thought of Li Xiaotian’s current situation, and his expression returned to normal. After all, the other party was now a blasphemer, an existence even more abhorred by the Divine Realm than the Temple of Demigods.
At the very least, the Temple of Demigods was a normal power on the surface and had not completely fallen out with the Divine Realm.
“That’s right. The Temple of Demigods and the Divine Realm are not exactly opposed; it’s merely to carve out a path of survival for all demigods,” the City Lord of Bliss said. Then, looking at Li Xiaotian, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and he continued.
“Li Xiaotian, I did save you, but you are far from being recognized by the Temple of Demigods.”
“Let me make myself clear beforehand. The Temple of Demigods values your potential. If you do not meet their requirements in the future, you will have to return everything the Temple of Demigods has given you.”
Li Xiaotian raised an eyebrow at this. He had expected this long ago. There was no such thing as a free lunch in the world. The Temple of Demigods had saved his life, and they would surely reap sufficient rewards.
“I have come to find you because I want you to leave this place. The Dragon Bee Empress has appeared, and news of her being a high-level expert has spread. I received word that the Fire God and another high-level expert will break into this world before long.”
The City Lord of Bliss said with a serious tone.
“Furthermore, in the past few days, more and more experts have been entering from the outside. If you do not die, the divine race will not rest.”
“Therefore, you must leave here.”
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaotian was somewhat surprised. He looked at the City Lord of Bliss in disbelief and asked.
“Does Senior have a way to get out?”
“Indeed. The Temple of Demigods had already planned to escort you out after making their move. Otherwise, if you were to die here in the end, wouldn’t all our efforts be in vain?”
The City Lord of Bliss nodded and continued.
“However, after you leave, you must undergo the trials of the Temple of Demigods. Only by passing their trials and gaining their recognition will you be granted freedom.”
“Freedom? Does Senior mean that I will appear in the territory of the Temple of Demigods after I leave?”
Li Xiaotian raised an eyebrow, feeling hesitant. Although the Temple of Demigods had saved him, being sent to their territory would undoubtedly put him in danger again.
What if the Temple of Demigods coveted his Great Dao power? What if their actions were only to seize his Great Dao power? If that were the case, wouldn’t he be walking into a tiger’s den after leaving?
He did not believe that a power like the Temple of Demigods would not have high-level experts in charge.
“That’s right, you will appear at the headquarters of the Temple of Demigods. But you don’t need to worry, they will merely conduct a trial for you. If you pass, you will even gain significant opportunities.”
The City Lord of Bliss spoke.
“You don’t need to worry about the Temple of Demigods harming you. Special Daos are not unheard of in the entire Void Universe. Although yours is heaven-defying, it’s not so extraordinary that we would go to such great lengths to save you.”
“I can make a Great Dao oath to guarantee that the Temple of Demigods will not covet your Great Dao power.”
Li Xiaotian narrowed his eyes, his mind racing.
Leaving meant entering another wolf’s den. Not leaving meant a high probability of death in the end.
After all, once high-level experts entered this world, whether he lived or died would be merely a thought away for them.
