After Chen Lin drank the spirit liquid, the two of them left.
They reached a secluded spot and discussed their next move.
"With that Celestial God's powers of perception, we can't hide the fact that we killed the tree spirit. He'll trace it back to us soon. With our current strength, I'm afraid we can't contend with him."
Chen Lin spoke gravely.
A single Divine Envoy had nearly wiped them both out, and even their narrow victory had depended on a surprise attack. He had little confidence in killing a Celestial God.
She had previously said they had a twenty percent chance. Judging by things now, they probably didn't even have ten percent.
Hu Sanniang sighed.
"It will indeed be difficult, but it's too late to run now. That Celestial God has all sorts of treasures at his disposal. Once he confirms our identities, catching us will be child's play. So whether we can contend with him or not, we have to try."
She paused.
Then she looked at Chen Lin.
"You can devour divinity, can't you?" she asked tentatively.
Chen Lin nodded.
"You're right, Sanniang. I can indeed devour divinity, but it isn't that easy."
They were now grasshoppers tied to the same rope, so there was no need to conceal such things. If they really succeeded in killing the Celestial God, it would also keep her from fighting him over the radiance of divinity.
Hu Sanniang's eyes lit up.
"You can devour divinity! No wonder the Celestial God Palace wants to exterminate your clan," she exclaimed. "But I've seen members of the Red Ape Clan with King Tier bloodlines before, and they didn't seem to possess that ability. Since you can do it, could you have the legendary imperial bloodline?"
Chen Lin did not answer.
He didn't even
