Deception

At the time, she did not understand the deeper meaning behind it, but now, the words of the Yuan God King have made her realize the seriousness of the problem.

"If the Terror God King Fiend were to actually come to the divine realm, it would be a disaster," Lin Yuan frowned.

"Let's go, let's meet him." To this, the Yuan God King only frowned slightly, then said it casually.

Although her tone was relaxed, the resolute light in her eyes betrayed her inner determination. In this unpredictable and Abnormal God Domain, facing the Terror God King Fiend who was about to break free of his restraints, the Yuan God King showed no sign of backing down.

She would not forget the purpose of this mission: to inquire of the Terror God King Fiend about the core of the Freedom Divine Realm. This concerned the future of the God Realm, and she could not afford to hesitate for even a moment.

Yin You, Lin Yuan, and Yun Xi exchanged glances, seeing the same resolute determination in each other's eyes.

A lone figure trudged heavily toward the Terror God King Fiend, Gui Suo.

As they closed the distance, the air around them grew increasingly heavy, as if an invisible hand was gripping their throats.

The powerful pressure emanating from the Terror God King Fiend came wave after wave, but the Yuan God King's expression remained relaxed, while Lin Yuan and Yin You truly felt the immense pressure.

Especially Yin You, although his soul is strong enough, it cannot make up for the deficiencies after death and resurrection in a short time. His Spirit Attribute and Constitution Attribute are the weakest among the four god-kings in the field.

Finally, they arrived at an open field. It was shrouded in a strange red light, and the ground was covered in cracks, as if it had witnessed a great, earth-shattering battle. In the center of the field stood a colossal figure— the Terror God King Fiend.

The Terror God King Fiend was enormous, like a small mountain, covered in black scales that gleamed with a cold, icy light. A pair of curved horns grew from his head, and his eyes burned with fierce flames, revealing boundless killing intent.

"Yuan God King, I never expected you to dare come to me of your own accord." The Terror God King Fiend voice boomed like thunder, shaking the very ground. "Don't you know that I will soon break free from the shackles of this cage contract, and then the entire God Realm will tremble beneath my feet?"

"Terror God King Fiend, don't be too arrogant." Yuan God King retorted without backing down, "Although you are about to break free of your restraints, don't forget that there are countless gods in the God Realm. They will not stand by and watch you do evil."

"Hmph, those gods are nothing but a bunch of cowardly cowards. They dare not oppose me," the Terror God King Fiend sneered. "Besides, even if they dare to come, they'll only be coming to their deaths."

"You are wrong, Terror God King Fiend." Yuan God King's voice remained firm. "The gods of the Divine Realm may usually act independently, but when faced with a threat like yours, they will unite to protect the peace of the Divine Realm."

"Unity?" The Terror God King Fiend let out a piercing laugh. "Before absolute power, so-called unity is nothing but a joke. You gods, usually so high and mighty, so self-righteous, yet you don't know what true power is."

"True power is not for destruction and slaughter," the Yuan God King continued. "You were blinded by hatred, which is why you embarked on this path of no return."

"Hatred?" The Terror God King Fiend Guiyi's eyes instantly turned fierce. "That's right, I am driven by hatred. You gods know in your hearts what you have done to me. I will make you pay the price, and make the entire divine realm suffer and be buried with me."

"The past cannot be changed," said the Yuan God King. "You can choose to let go of your hatred and start anew. If you are willing, we can help you get rid of your inner pain."

"Help me?" the Terror God King Fiend sneered. "What right do you gods have to help me? You only know how to deceive me with hypocritical words."

"Yuan God King, don't think I don't know you're a hypocrite. Haven't you lied to me enough before? You claim to cultivate the path of freedom, but in reality, you're a master of deception. What, you're not afraid to tell the world your title of Deception God King, are you?" The Terror God King Fiend, his laughter filled with an indescribable sarcasm.

Yun Xi and Yin You looked at each other in bewilderment.

The Yuan God King's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

She took a deep breath and looked firmly at the Terror God King Fiend. "Terror God King Fiend, the past is past. I admit that I did some things that made you misunderstand, but it was all for the sake of the bigger picture."

"The big picture?" The Terror God King Fiend. "Your so-called big picture is nothing more than satisfying the selfish desires of you gods. You keep saying you want to the Godfall Continent, but in reality, you're just using everyone to achieve your own goals."

"You're wrong." The Yuan God King shook his head. "Everything I've done is to make the Godfall Continent a better place. I know you harbor deep resentment towards me, but I hope you can let go of that resentment and work with us for the future of the Divine Realm."

"With you?" the Terror God King Fiend sneered. "Why should I be with you? You gods have never treated me as one of your own. In your eyes, I am just a monster, a tool that can be used and discarded at will."

"No, you are not a monster," said the Yuan God King. "You are also a member of the Divine Realm, and you have the right to pursue your own happiness and freedom. I know you have suffered a lot in the past, but that is all in the past. Now, I am giving you a chance to start over."

Yun Xi... she felt that what the Yuan God King said about the Terror God King Fiend Fate was not quite the same as what she understood about the God of Fate.

Yun Xi was filled with doubt. She had originally thought that the Yuan God King was going to have a fierce battle with the Terror God King Fiend, or at least a head-on negotiation. But now the Yuan God King's attitude was so gentle, and his words were full of persuasion and tolerance. This was completely different from the scene she had imagined.

Yin You was equally puzzled. He quietly approached Yun Xi and whispered, "This is not what we expected. What is the Yuan God King planning to do?"

Yun Xi shook her head and replied softly, "I don't know either, but the Yuan God King must have her own plans. Let's wait and see."

Upon hearing the words of the Yuan God King, the Terror God King Fiend Gui's mocking expression did not fade but instead intensified. "Start over? Do you think I can still trust you? Which of you gods isn't a liar and a traitor?"
