The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 765 - 703

I must say, Meng Po is smarter than the Minotaur.

She knew to put the conditions up front, instead of babbling like the Minotaur, saying things like begging for mercy and that we could talk about it.

This was a matter of life and death, and yet, to hesitate was to court death by the blade, wasn’t it?

If you were struck and didn’t even realise your own value, merely begging for mercy, how could there be any chance of survival?

Meng Po had already realized that Lin Yun was indeed ruthless.

However, the condition she threw out was something she thought Lin Yun couldn’t refuse.

"Really?"

Lin Yun indeed stopped his sword but didn’t withdraw the Azure Dragon Domain.

It was the power that Canglan had lent him, and there was only one chance to activate it.

In fact, the timing of his move was very important in suppressing the Underworld Trinity Gods so swiftly, but the most crucial factor was still Canglan’s power.

Even a dying camel is bigger than a horse, and although Canglan was a dying Divine Spirit, her power was still effortlessly overwhelming for several gods of lower realms.

Her Azure Dragon Domain could almost be called a divine realm; within it, she was the sole ruler.

It’s just that Canglan was too weakened now to use it completely; she still needed the Snow Maiden’s support.

This was also the last power Lin Yun could use; once he closed the Azure Dragon Divine Domain, Canglan couldn’t help him open it again. By then, it would be unlikely to keep Meng Po contained.

So, actually, no matter what Meng Po said, she was on a one-way street to death.

But since Meng Po had spoken, Lin Yun wasn’t a devil, and he would always give her a bit of time to speak.

Considering his kindness, it wouldn’t be excessive to let him leverage some knowledge about how to open the cycle of reincarnation for free, right?

"Of course it’s true. We deceived you before. In fact, to open the cycle of reincarnation, we don’t need five gods."

To save her own life, Meng Po spoke much faster.

"Then how many exactly do you need?"

"Me, Impermanence, the Minotaur, just one of us is enough to open the cycle. Because we are old gods of the Netherworld, we used to hold some authority in the Netherworld Realm. Since the Lord of the Netherworld fell, only we three could enter and leave the place of reincarnation."

This was where Meng Po was being cunning.

The Minotaur and Impermanence were already dead, now she was the only one who met the condition. If Lin Yun killed her, he wouldn’t be able to open the cycle of reincarnation.

"I see..."

Lin Yun stroked his chin, contemplating between sending Zhang Biyu to be reincarnated and sending Meng Po to the heavens. Lin Yun still preferred the latter.

Meng Po’s intentions were clear to him; she simply wanted to exchange this information for a chance to live.

But why exactly could they open the cycle of reincarnation when other gods couldn’t?

What was special about them?

Lin Yun quickly connected the dots to the three items that Canglan had requested, which were exactly one from each of the Underworld Trinity Gods.

Perhaps, this was also related to the cycle of reincarnation?

"Canglan, do you know how to open the cycle of reincarnation?"

Lin Yun decided to verify his suspicion.

Fearlessly calling the Divine Spirit by name, even in the presence of a Divine Spirit, Lin Yun always considered himself her equal.

At this moment, Canglan was holding a heart colored in black and white. Because she needed to communicate with Lin Yun, the figure she manifested in his heart appeared especially diminutive.

Just like the Qing Nu figurine, it was a miniaturized version, but Impermanence’s heart hadn’t shrunk, so the little Canglan goddess held a big heart in her arms, nibbling away at it like a hamster eating nuts, looking adorably cute.

Canglan nodded in response to Lin Yun’s inquiry.

"Once I’ve digested their life essence items, I can initiate the cycle of rebirth," she said.

Clutching Impermanence’s heart and gnawing on it, Canglan couldn’t be happier.

She initially asked for three things, but in fact, she only needed one to suffice.

The life essence of the God of the Netherworld was the equivalent of a Divine Position, and due to the God of the Netherworld’s uniqueness, their life essence items were even more helpful to Canglan than a Divine Position would be.

Canglan needed enough fate and belief to recover. Originally, she planned to do so through Lin Yun, just for the sake of survival without thinking of draining him dry or destroying the Primordial Realm.

But all this time, Lin Yun hadn’t given her a bit of fate, and she was nearly tortured to death.

If it weren’t for that, Canglan wouldn’t have thought to gamble her life and fleece the wool of the Netherworld Realm.

The Netherworld Realm is usually considered the flip side of the Primordial Realm, with the closest connection between the two worlds.

There’s a saying that classifies the Primordial Realm as the realm of the living, and the Netherworld Realm as the realm of the dead.

Regardless of how it was put in the past, in any case, the Netherworld Realm could also serve as a parasitic ground for the Divine Country.

And Canglan could devour fate from both the Primordial Realm and the Netherland.

This was a decision she made on the spot after seeing the three Underworld Trinity Gods.

It was fate; Canglan was on the brink of death, she just happened to sense the eruption and awakening of the Power of Xuanwu, and she sensed the three ancient Underworld Trinity Gods.

These three were native gods of the Netherworld, not those other deities who sought refuge and fell into the Netherworld.

If it had been any other gods of the Netherworld, they might not have had life essence items, and Canglan wouldn’t be able to recover by devouring theirs.

Lin Yun’s performance, however, was a delightful surprise for Canglan.

She would have considered it a win if she got just one, but Lin Yun managed to secure all three for her.

Once she digested the life essence of the three gods of the Netherworld and devoured their fate, she could not only resurrect successfully but might even recover half her strength.

There’s a considerable gap between Divine Emperor and Divine King level, so even after devouring the life essence of three Divine King Rank gods of the Netherworld, Canglan at most could only regain half of her Divine Power.

But that was enough; being conscious would mean success.

Upon resurrection, she could regather her followers and regaining her past strength would not be out of question.

Now with increased power, Canglan naturally felt even more delighted.

Granting Lin Yun some minor requests was certainly no trouble.

Lin Yun’s conjecture wasn’t far off, Impermanence, Minotaur, and Meng Po were all deities related to the cycle of rebirth, thanks to the authority granted by their life essence items.

Now that Canglan had devoured those life essence items, the authority naturally fell into her hands as well.

"Since that’s the case, then this Meng Po no longer has any value in staying alive," Lin Yun decided internally but put on a facade of having reined in his killing intent, smiling slightly, "Since it’s so, then I truly can’t kill you, but since you’ve made a mistake before, you’ll have to pay a price, right?"

Meng Po saw Lin Yun’s attitude soften and felt a surge of joy in her heart, knowing that as long as there was room for negotiation, all was well.

"Whatever you want, I can provide anything," Meng Po said, jiggling her flesh and casting coquettish glances at Lin Yun, her seductive manner almost driving Snow Maiden to trap her in an instant and Qian Qian to itch for action.

But they heard Lin Yun say, "I don’t want anything else, just the clothes on your back, how about that?"
