Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After Duan Ling Tian had a taste of the rewards, a crazy idea struck him.

‘Even if they don’t come for me, I can look for them, right? Many people probed me during my journey, but due to their weaker cultivation bases, I won’t gain anything by killing them. However, they might be under the protection of some advanced Lords of Gods. They’re roaming around with the intention to kill so there’s no need for me to feel guilty about killing them. Moreover, everything in this world is an illusions created by supreme powerhouses. It’s not unethical to kill them…’

At the end of his thought, Duan Ling Tian vanished into thin air.

At the same time, a rudimentary Lord of Gods was probing Duan Ling Tian from a distance. When he discovered that Duan Ling Tian was an advanced Lord of Gods, he quickly withdrew his Divine Consciousness and planned to avoid Duan Ling Tian. However, soon after he saw Duan Ling Tian vanishing into thin air, he saw a figure appear in front of him. When he saw that it was Duan Ling Tian, his expression changed drastically. He, a middle-aged man who looked like he was old enough to be Duan Ling Tian’s elder, looked at Duan Ling Tian in fear and panic as he pleaded for his life.

“M-my lord, I, I’m just a rudimentary Lord of Gods. You won’t gain anything by killing me…”

In the wilderness, there were some powerhouses who would kill the middle-aged man because they viewed him as scum. However, such powerhouses were rare. After all, most powerhouses were busy and had better things to do. As such, as long as he lay low, he could usually avoid being killed.

Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly as he looked at the middle-aged man. “You’re right. However, you should be worth a decent price if I sell you.”

The middle-aged man’s expression changed again upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words. People like him feared running into powerhouses like Duan Ling Tian, who had nothing better to do, the most. He felt like he was on the verge of breaking down as he continued to plead out loud, “My lord, I’m only a rudimentary Lord of Gods. At most, I’m only worth a few divine crystals! A few divine crystals aren’t worth mentioning to advanced Lords of Gods like you!”

“You have a point.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.

The middle-aged man was in the midst of heaving a sigh of relief when Duan Ling Tian continued to say, “However, even a few divine crystals are worth something, right?”

The middle-aged froze. After a moment, driven by fear, desperation, and the will to survive, he unleashed his Divine Energy, turning into a ball of flames as he tried to flee. In just a moment, a muffled thud rang in the air as he ran into a translucent barrier.

When the middle-aged man saw the void rippling, he realized he was trapped in a spatial prison. He hastily brought his prominent divine artifact out and began to strike desperately. Th1s chapter is updated by n)ovel/\bin/\

Boom!

Alas, the middle-aged man’s attack barely left a scratch on the translucent barrier. His expression was one of despair when he realized it was futile. He felt regretful for agreeing to patrol this area today. He had changed his schedule and signed up for patrol duty today so he could focus on his cultivation later. If he did not do that, he would not have run into Duan Ling Tian today.

“Do you want to live?”

When the middle-aged man heard these words, he shuddered involuntarily. It was as though he could feel his imminent death. When Duan Ling Tian’s words finally registered, he hastily cried out, “My lord! Yes, I want to live! I want to live!”

At the same time, the middle-aged man vowed to quit his job if he survived today. Although he would obtain small rewards occasionally from the job if he was lucky, it was not worth it at all if it meant risking his life. He thought to himself, ‘If I survive this, I won’t take shortcuts when cultivating again!’

Duan Ling Tian stared at the middle-aged man with a piercing gaze as he asked casually, “Do you know any advanced Lord of Gods? Think properly before you answer me. You only have one chance to save your life.”

The middle-aged man was briefly stunned. Then, he smiled bitterly before he said, “My lord, the strongest members in my team are only two intermediate Lords of Gods. The others are just ordinary rudimentary Lords of Gods like me.”

Duan Ling Tian nodded. “If that’s the case, you have no value to me. I thought about sparing your life if you were able to lead to advanced Lords of Gods or even Emperors of Gods.”

After Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, he slowly raised his hand.

A panicked expression appeared on the middle-aged man’s face when he saw the Divine Energy gathering on Duan Ling Tian’s hand. He cried out hastily, “My lord, although there aren’t any advanced Lord of Gods in my team, the other teams have them! There are about a dozen advanced Lords of Gods in total from the other teams! I can lead you to them, I can lead you to them! I’m telling the truth! I’ll lead you to them!”

The middle-aged man panicked, worried that Duan Ling Tian would kill him once he was of no value to Duan Ling Tian. After listening to Duan Ling Tian, he speculated that Duan Ling Tian was an anti-hunter.

Anti-hunters were people who opposed hunters and organizations who hunted people in the wild. Some anti-hunters were rather extreme and would track down an entire hunting team to annihilate them.

Since Duan Ling Tian asked the middle-aged man to lead him to advanced Lords of Gods or Emperors of Gods, the middle-aged assumed Duan Ling Tian wanted to track down hunters and eliminate them all at once.

Duan Ling Tian smiled in satisfaction. “You’re quite smart.”

Duan Ling Tian was not worried the middle-aged man would warn his peers since all forms of communication were banned in the Trial of Gods. This was to prevent the top prodigies from grouping up and joining forces after entering the Trial of Gods. It would be unfair to those who were alone.

In the Trials of Gods, using Voice Transmission at a short distance was possible, but it was extremely taxing. One would have to have a very high cultivation base to receive or send Voice Transmissions since Voice Transmission relied on one’s soul. Moreover, if someone wanted to listen to the content of a Voice Transmission of an advanced Lord of Gods like Duan Ling Tian, he or she also needed to be an advanced Lord of Gods to do so.

Duan Ling Tian said nonchalantly, “Lead the way. I won’t kill you if I manage to kill one advanced Lord of Gods. If I manage to kill two advanced Lords of Gods, I’ll reward you with one intermediate Lord of Gods. You’ll be rewarded with two intermediate Lords of Gods if I manage to kill three advanced Lords of Gods. You get the gist of it. However, if I manage to kill a rudimentary Emperor of Gods, I’ll reward you with ten intermediate Lords of Gods.”

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, the middle-aged man’s eyes lit up. After all, Duan Ling Tian had promised to reward him with gravely injured intermediate Lords of Gods whom he could kill to obtain the rewards. One must know that even when his team killed an intermediate Lord of Gods, he would not receive anything at all. After all, he was just a rudimentary Lord of Gods. Nonetheless, despite his excitement, he was also skeptical.

Duan Ling Tian saw the doubt on the middle-aged man’s face so he added casually, “If you don’t believe me, you can just lead me to one team first. It’s not like you have a choice anyway. You’ll see for yourself if I’m telling the truth or not. Lead to a group with at least two advanced Lords of Gods. That way, I can instantly reward you with an intermediate Lords of Gods after I’m done killing the advanced Lords of Gods.”

The middle-aged man could no longer control his excitement as he said, “My lord, I know of a team with two advanced Lords of Gods. I’ll lead you to them immediately!”

An anticipatory expression could be seen on the middle-aged man’s face at this moment. Based on his observation, Duan Ling Tian certainly seemed strong enough to do as he said.

…

During the journey, the middle-aged man’s fear gradually subsided, and he mustered up his courage before he said, “My lord, my name is Du Huan.” Googlᴇ search NovelEnglish.net

Du Huan continued to say, “My lord, this team of hunters has an intermediate Lord of Gods. He’s the third strongest in the team after the two advanced Lords of Gods. He’s responsible for liaising, negotiating, and cooperating with other teams.” After a brief pause, he added, “He might know the locations of teams with rudimentary Emperors of Gods.”

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up as soon as Du Huan mentioned the rudimentary Emperors of Gods. After he calmed down, he glanced at Du Huan and said, “Not bad. I’ll reward you with an advanced Lord of Gods as well if I kill a rudimentary Lord of Gods.”
