Chapter 391

One of the most important factors for a scheme to succeed was to make the target trust you.

The seven Righteous Gods had lived for a very long time, their knowledge was vast, so unless you took advantage of a lack of information, the only way to trick them was to convince them of the information provided by the trap and cause them to have a subjective perception problem.

At the moment, other than Negri who Mequik had actively leaked information to, no one else should have noticed anything amiss. Everything seemed reasonable, the development of the situation, as well as some unexpected aspects, were completely normal.

Because of that, after Mequik left, Eternal Heat's group turned their attention to Lisa. Red Tears was already on the verge of collapsing, after all, compared to Eulogy of the Depths, she was still in control of Lisa's body. Lisa was still an Evil God, even though Red Tears had taken the initiative and taken control of her, she still had some ability to resist.

Under Lisa's eyes, the crimson blood seemed to have come to life. Red Tears, who was originally only a phenomenal lifeform, began to manifest an oceanic lifeform's body in this world.

Meanwhile, although Eulogy of the Depths appeared to be in low spirits, his soul structure was still relatively stable, so it wouldn't be too soon for him to manifest any abnormalities.

At this point, The Unreachable Gate chose to retreat. His deal with Eternal Heat was real, but Eternal Heat was also burning through his boundary, so if he didn't retreat now, Eternal Heat might be able to see a bit of his own Path.

The Unreachable Gate could accept anything, the only thing he couldn't accept was his Path being touched. For Eternal Heat, once he saw it, he wouldn't be too far away from touching it. The Unreachable Gate wouldn't take such a risk, for him, staying alive was the most important thing.

Eternal Heat walked towards Lisa, his burning presence slowly exuding from his body. His Path of Eternal Heat didn't require the replenishment of the Path of Life for now, but a Divine artifact was a Divine artifact, it wouldn't depreciate in value no matter what world it was in. Even if he didn't use it himself, he could give it to someone else or forge it into a weapon.

Lisa's bloodshot eyes slowly returned to normal, Red Tears was about to leave her body. Although she was a phenomenal lifeform, in this world, she was only a part of herself, most people who manifested their Paths would have this characteristic, so almost all Path level Combatants had researched the ability to attack through connections.

Even if the other part of you was in another world, as long as the world barrier wasn't too thick, they could still transmit their attacks there.

If you don't know this method, you'll find that you can't kill your enemies at all.

Of course, with the ability to attack through connections, there were naturally methods to block such attacks. However, attacking was always easier than defending.

Because of this, Red Tears and the others quickly ran away. Even if they couldn't escape, they would quickly give up on their avatars or parts of their bodies.

The blood tears in front of Lisa's eyes were quickly condensing into a long fish. Since Red Tears had retreated earlier, a part of her would be converted into a deep sea lifeform and become Eulogy of the Deep's harvest.

However, after the other Righteous Gods withdrew, only Eternal Heat and Eulogy of the Deep Seas remained. Eulogy of the Deep Seas naturally couldn't compare to Eternal, his strength was universally acknowledged.

Because of this, Eternal Heat obtained the divine artifact, which was a complete victory, while Eulogy of the Deep Seas obtained a part of Red Tears and converted it into a fish to supplement his Path, which was a small gain.

However, some were clearly unwilling to accept this. Eternal Heat was too powerful, if he won this time, he would definitely have an even greater advantage in harvesting the World Fruit on God's Offering Day.

Because of this, when Eternal Heat approached Lisa, the Blood Tears that was transforming into a fish instantly disappeared as an invisible fluctuation rushed into Eternal Heat's body.

Eulogy of the Deep Seas gave up on the harvest he was about to obtain and returned it to Red Tears, while Red Tears cooperatively turned around to attack Eternal Heat. Obviously, the two of them were negotiating while fighting with their lives on the line.

Eulogy of the Deep Seas promised to give up some knowledge related to life. Although this wouldn't be as fast as directly devouring a Path related to it, and one would still need to comprehend and extract the corresponding Dao and Principles, it was still better than not gaining anything and having a part of their bodies harvested instead. Furthermore, it could weaken Eternal Heat, which was also what Red Tears hoped to see.

None of the Seven Gods wished for anyone to be particularly powerful, and Eternal Heat was currently showing signs of this.

Eternal Heat frowned, the heat aura around his body growing stronger and stronger, the heat around his body completely incinerated Red Tears' attack. However, Negri sensed a bit of a problem. Eternal Heat seemed to be hiding something, otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to cover his entire body with power and incinerate everything that entered or left his body, because this was the only way to ensure that Red Tears wouldn't be able to obtain any information about Eternal Heat.

While Red Tears was attacking Eternal Heat, Eulogy of the Deep Seas took this opportunity to arrive next to Lisa, opened his ugly fish head and bit down on Lisa's belly without any hesitation.

The law of the jungle between deep-sea lifeforms was even more obvious, where the big fish ate the small fish, and the small fish ate the shrimps.

Because of this, Eulogy of the Deep Seas' usage of the Path of Life, apart from altering his opponents into deep-sea lifeforms, was to devour each other. By devouring other lifeforms into his stomach and digesting them, the other party's life would naturally become his.

The Dao and Principles of the Divine Artifact inside began to spread. If someone was nearby and was infected by this aura of life, their lifespan would increase by at least ten years, and if they were to devour the Divine Artifact inside, they would become an immortal being.

As Eulogy used his aura of life to lure the Divine Artifact that the seven Gods were fighting over into the open, it appeared in front of everyone. It was an object that looked like a tree root, but it was covered in runes.

As soon as he saw this tree root, Eulogy didn't show any joy of obtaining something, instead, he displayed an expression of fear. Without any unnecessary movements, this clone of his suddenly lost all signs of life. He decisively gave up on this clone, but he was still one step too late.

At first, the tree root was only as long as an arm, but as soon as it was revealed, the runes on its surface lit up and countless roots began to grow from it. A portion of them pierced into Eulogy's body and continued to extend into the void of space, while another portion pierced into Lisa's body and followed their connection to Red Tears' body.

As for the rest, they reached towards Eternal and Negri.

Fortunately, Negri's group was a bit further away, giving them enough time to react and move away.
