845 Chapter 505: The God of Deception From A Long Sleep and Reaping the Benefits [2/6]
The holy land was invaluable in Richard’s eyes in the chaotic world of the “Shining Era,” whether to use it for war or agriculture.
He retracted his thoughts. Richard went straight to the central plane.
He landed on the ground. He lowered his head to look at the ancient god statue and slowly closed his eyes.
At the same time, his spiritual power spread out and penetrated the statue.
The space inside the ancient god statue had become broad following a few reinforcements.
Richard sealed the soul of the god of deception in this area.
The translucent soul lay quietly in the hazy space. He had sealed all its aura.
Richard unhesitantly unlocked the chains formed by the power of the great stone of the ancient ones.
Tai Long gradually woke up in his daze. He felt the power that had bound him for a long time slowly dissipated.
His consciousness gradually returned.
Then, he felt dizzy, as if one had drastically jolted him somewhere.
The dizziness subsided, and he slowly opened his eyes.
A heroic figure wore a black and red crown on his head, and a cape with dark patterns appeared before his sight. His eyes were as deep as the starry sky, and his temperament was extraordinary.
The figure held a twisted statue and looked at him appeasingly.
The spiritual power awakened all his memories at this moment. The Deception God let out a long sigh.
His voice was hoarse and weak.
“Lord Richard…How long have I been asleep?
As he spoke, he lowered his head and looked at his illusory soul body. It floated in the air. It was as if it could disappear at any time.
One couldn’t see his heart.
“Less than two weeks.”
“Less than two weeks?”
The god of deception raised his head and seemed to have sensed something. He quickly turned and looked around.
Then, his tone sounded sparingly surprised.
“Then why had the rules of the world changed immensely?”
His expression changed slightly.
“Ancient God… Had he returned? Where’s Lolita?”
Richard no longer kept reservations.
“We returned to the main plane following the massive price we paid to escape from the tomb of the gods. That isolated Spider Goddess Lolita from the main plane.”
“And three days ago… On December 28th, the Crimson Moon rose into the sky. It had announced the return of the ancient gods.”
“Blood rain that lasted for two hours poured afterward. Because of that, everything changed drastically.”
The god of deception’s gaze flickered when he heard this.
There was a long silence.
In the end, he sighed faintly.
“Perhaps this is the outcome…The world ultimately belongs to the ancient gods.”
Richard narrowed his eyes.
“Looks like His Excellency Tai Long knows some secret that no one else knows… I don’t know. Can you share some with me?”
The god of deception said in a subtle tone, “Secret? It was just information that all gods knew. The gods saw the future following the second battle of the gods ended and before the goddess of dawn fell.
“The ancient gods will return…And the gods would pay the price for what they had done in the past.
“Since then, the gods have tried their best to erase the traces of the ancient gods and delay the return of the ancient gods as long as possible.”
The corners of Tai Long’s mouth curled into a mocking smile as he spoke.
“However, no matter how many actions we take, we can’t stop the world from its turns. After a long time, the prophecy came true.
“l want to see the faces of those gods when they discover the return of the ancient gods…”
The god of deception had such a bad reputation that even mortals despised him. How could the gods be nice to him?
Naturally, he couldn’t have a close relationship with the gods.
Interest perched on Richard.
“Did the gods prepare other methods to deal with the ancient gods?”
“Of course, they did. However, that is something that the various divine system rulers had discussed and plotted. That I do not know about.”
The god of deception was a bachelor.
“It’s just some despicable methods.”
Richard stared at the indignant look on Tai Long’s face. He couldn’t help but laugh. It seemed that some gods could have bullied this god a bit in the past.
He no longer dwelled on this and changed the topic.
“Does Your Excellency have any predictions for the future?”
“Lord Richard, no matter how the situation changes, only the power in your hands is eternal…”
The god of deception’s gaze gradually appeared deeper, his aura became solemn, and gave people an inexplicable sense of oppression.
His voice sounded low.
“I hope you can help me recover my strength…if possible. And before I recover, protect me temporarily.
“Our previous actions incurred Lolita’s revenge… Right now, I don’t have the strength to avoid her gaze alone.
“As a reward, I will work for you before I regain my strength.”
His tone sounded increasingly solemn.
“Lord Richard, you saved my life by bringing me out of that plane… Moreover, your words woke me up. You can even say that you pointed out the direction for me to move forward.
“In a sense, you gave me a new life.”
Tai Long paused after he spoke. Then, he placed his right hand on his chest and bowed like a subordinate.
“I swear on my soul that no matter what happens in the future, I will not harm Lord Richard, nor will I destroy or subvert your territory.”
The swift turn of events bemused Richard. His brows almost intersected.
‘Was this god serious?’
At this moment, a familiar voice echoed in his ear.
[Ding~ The god of deception has signed a one-sided contract with you with his soul under the witness of the contract rules. The power of rules will destroy the deity’s soul, and one could never resurrect had he breeched the contract.]
