Matching a Player's Pride?
The God of Fortune arrived at the exit of the Abyss, only to find that the passage had already been sealed off.
He tried several times, but couldn't open it at all.
He was quite lucky; he had just gotten stuck here when he bumped into Death God, who was trying to leave the Abyss.
Death God had taken good care of his Green Crabapple Forest and was already planning to return to the Divine Realm. These past few days of strike had reached his limit; it felt like ants were crawling all over his bones, making him restless and unable to sit still.
He wanted to work, he wanted to get to work.
Although he has clones to handle his tasks, he feels uneasy if his main body doesn't do it himself.
As for the orders issued by the Abyss?
Just go through the motions, look for it and that's it.
Although Death God is considered one of the top three in the Abyss, he has a very low profile in the Abyss because he spends most of his time in the Divine Realm and is not favored. At present, it is enough for him to cooperate symbolically.
In today's terms, is it worth working so hard for a monthly salary of only two or three thousand?
It's simply a matter of getting paid for what you do.
Death God had originally intended to conduct a perfunctory search, put on a show, and then leave through the Abyss's exit, heading straight for the Divine Realm. Little did he expect that this trip would lead him to such a huge stroke of luck.
Upon seeing the wanted face plastered all over the Abyss, Death God swiftly covered his eyes, turned to fly away, and muttered to himself:
"Ah, I suddenly remembered I haven't finished something. I have to go back now. I didn't see anything; there wasn't a single god here just now."
He had absolutely no desire to wade into this mess of God of Fortune.
I have absolutely no interest in it.
What the other party wants to do has nothing to do with Death God.
Unfortunately, the God of Fortune had no intention of letting him go.
A hand rested firmly on his shoulder.
Death God's body stiffened abruptly, and the chilling death aura that lingered around him was gradually dispelled by the unique aura of the Gods behind him.
"Death God, do me a favor."
The Divine Power within Death God surged instantly, poised to be unleashed.
He has never clashed with the God of Fortune, but he knows in his heart that if they really fought, he might not lose.
However, his original intention was not to start a war; he just wanted to escape as quickly as possible.
"If you're willing to help me this time, you can make one request each to the God of Wealth and the God of Luck in the future. As long as it's not excessive, you can name your terms. They can even grant you anything related to the Spring God, how about it?"
At this moment, the one controlling the body of the God of Fortune is none other than Wuma Xiu.
He could tell that Death God cared deeply about Spring God.
The Spring God was merely his disguise.
Death God can have whatever he wants; at worst, he can just don the identity of the God of Spring God again.
The condition set by the God of Fortune is exactly what Death God wants to hear.
"Really?"
Death God suddenly turned around.
Several Manjusaka bloomed at his feet, their blossoms flashing a crimson hue in the darkness for a fleeting moment before vanishing without a trace.
"Of course. But right now, you have to get me out of here first. If I can't get out of this Abyss alive, then your promise will be null and void."
The God of Fortune smiled faintly, but in the eyes of Death God, this guy looked exactly like a cunning old fox.
Death God sighed softly and raised his hand to rub the back of his neck.
"Ugh, what a hassle. If I had known, I would have waited a little longer, and I wouldn't have run into you."
The God of Fortune raised his right hand, straightened the sleeve of his shirt, and said, "It's no use. Even if you continue to endure, you will still meet me in the end."
Luck brought them together.
Even if Death God deliberately avoids them, all sorts of things will happen to make them meet.
This is the Authority of good fortune.
What might be a one in ten thousand chance for others is, for him, a certainty.
I can give it a try.
Death God hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.
"But don't blame me if it doesn't work. Besides, even if you fall into their hands, you might not die. The worst outcome is simply being assimilated by the Abyss."
"Alright, open the door. I don't have much time left."
Death God raised his hand, and a huge Scythe appeared in his palm.
He aimed a fierce slash at the void behind the God of Fortune!
"Bang--!"
The anticipated spatial passage didn't tear open; instead, the powerful Scythe shattered into pieces.
Death God's heart sank.
Oh no, we've been exposed. It seems luck, in the face of absolute power, is ultimately no match.
The void trembled.
A Dark Gold halo appeared from the rift, and a figure stepped out. As he appeared, Abyss Whispers echoed incessantly.
This whisper was something the Gods in the Abyss had long heard and taken for granted.
But the God of Fortune, residing in the Divine Realm for so long, naturally couldn't stand this.
At that moment, his brows furrowed.
Hearing these whispers for too long not only gives you a headache, but also stirs up an uncontrollable restlessness in your heart.
"I've found you. I'm curious, what is your Divine Name?"
The God of the Netherworld descended from the sky, climbing the steps.
The Abyss was dark and boundless, and the steps were almost blending into the deep darkness, so that they were impossible to notice without careful observation. After he stepped over them, the steps behind him disappeared one by one.
"I want you to remain in the Abyss forever, to be a Sun within Abyss. Of course, the advantage is that within the Abyss, you will be second only to one god, above all other gods. What do you say?"
If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it grass.
This applies to humans, and it applies to gods as well.
The God of the Netherworld had been in a high position for too long and didn't believe any god could refuse his conditions. Therefore, he naturally assumed that the other party would agree, especially under circumstances where they had no choice but to agree.
But this time, he miscalculated.
The God of Fortune is inherently proud and arrogant; from any perspective, he would never agree to such a request. Especially given the other party's condescending, condescending tone.
Of course, Wuma Xiu was also annoyed when the God of Fortune Side Quest suddenly appeared at that time.
In his eyes, this person was nothing more than a Game NPC, yet he dared to speak so arrogantly to him. Did he even know the true value of the word "Player"?
In terms of arrogance, no NPC in the game can compare to the Player. The current situation may seem like a hopeless dead end, but in the Player's eyes, it's nothing at all.
