A glint flashed in the old man's eyes.
Even if these two had come with ill intentions and other designs, there was no harm in making use of them for now.
At the very least, he had to reclaim the other half of his power and complete his Godhead before he could become the true [Eternal Life].
Ye Buyu sidled up with a grin.
"Sir, we can't help you for nothing. What's in it for us? And what exactly do you want us to do?"
The old man rolled his eyes. "Pawns of [Fate]. Mercenary as ever."
Mu Bingge countered with righteous conviction, "No, this is part of our fate."
The old man muttered a few more things.
Everyone from the Fate Divine Realm was a psychopath.
The old man rose and headed toward the Royal Palace.
"Come along. I need you to help me reclaim the throne and half of my Divine Status."
Ye Buyu and Mu Bingge exchanged a glance and followed him.
"Oh... so you gave away half your Divine Status, sir. How generous."
The old man shot Ye Buyu a look.
"That joke isn't funny. And don't call it Divine Status. It's a Godhead. I was simply born missing half my Godhead, because the conditions for a deity's birth are extremely demanding.
"Not only must you gain the Universe's recognition, you must also gain the recognition of living beings. This Divine Realm is the world I chose. By drawing on the obsession with eternal life deep within the hearts of all living beings, that obsession will condense into half a Godhead.
"Then, granting them the eternal life they crave is equivalent to gaining their recognition. Now I only need to retrieve that portion of the Godhead and unite the two halves to fully ascend to Godhood."
