"Were you thinking of luring me into the outside world, severing the Magpie Bridge, and leaving me unable to return?" The Lightning Heavenly King looked at the War God Body with a faint, knowing smile.
"How could I? Whenever you wish to return, Heavenly King, I can send you back." The War God Body wore an ingratiating smile and said miserably, "Heavenly King, I'm a Heavenly Being. Lin Bai seized my Law Sacred Artifact. I only played along with him to get it back. Otherwise, who would willingly associate with someone of another race? Those not of our race must harbor different hearts..."
The familiar scene made the corner of Nan Lingtian's eye twitch involuntarily.
Once upon a time.
This was exactly how he had been hoodwinked!
"As far as I know, you only appeared after Lin Bai arrived in the Immortal Realm. Before you appeared, he already had a Law Sacred Artifact," the Lightning Heavenly King said with a smile. "Talk of a so-called new Mother Body and a Tenth Heavenly King also only emerged after he arrived. And the New Heavenly Beings scattered throughout the Immortal Realm call themselves Players. They weren't born from a new Mother Body. How do you explain that?"
"Heavenly King, I don't know anything about those New Heavenly Beings, but I was indeed born from a Mother Body. The new Mother Body was in the Mortal World, so I suffered the suppression of heavenly tribulation as soon as I was born. Then Lin Bai interfered while I was undergoing tribulation transcendence. I failed to survive the heavenly tribulation and fell unconscious, terribly weakened. That was how Lin Bai seized the chance to steal my Law Sacred Artifact. Afterward, he kept me sealed away until I entered the Immortal Realm and regained my freedom."
