"My people have always stayed in the northwest and have never opposed any of the Faser People. Even if they killed, it was only some of our own people."
Lin Ke paced slowly in front of the gods, his tone relaxed and calm.
However, as he walked back and forth, an immense power radiated from him.
Just a shred of it was enough to make the gods feel oppressed, unable to breathe.
Vast, terrifying, invincible.
The gods dared not raise their heads nor peek, or else they would discover that even the Sky God couldn’t resist under this aura.
"Ceasefire? What ceasefire? We never had a battle." Lin Ke finally stopped, looking at the gods before him, his face full of a friendly smile.
"Great Wilderness esolate Lord... hmm, Mr. Great Wilderness, what do you mean?"
The Sky God remained silent. This time, the god who spoke had an earthy yellow aura swirling behind him.
"Lady Earth Goddess? Oh right, your kin, those Karst Mountain Giants, are living very well under my protection... As for your question..."
Lin Ke looked relaxed: "I can cooperate with you to drive away those bothersome guys within two years."
Because the aristocratic council lasts three years in total, with one year already passed.
Once the council ends, they all have to return to Naseng.
As for the gods, at this moment, they almost began to whisper among themselves like vendors at a market.
This damn... They would accept even two hundred years!
As deities, their lifespan has no end. As long as Faser exists, they exist.
And those extraterrestrial entities scattered across Faser’s land can’t be completely wiped out within two years, proving that the losses are controllable.
Initially, they thought that these extraterrestrial visitors would settle here long-term, by centuries, slowly devouring Faser until the gods fell and the world collapsed.
It now appears that if this strong figure from the outside world could drive away the visitors within two years, this is their opportunity.
Furthermore, this external strongman indeed has never had any conflict with them.
Of course, even though Buck the Flame Demon had his shadow behind him, it was insignificant.
After he leaves, Buck would be just like a grasshopper after autumn, not being able to jump for much longer.
The key now is, why three years and not three minutes later?
"What price do we need to pay?" The Sea God, also known as the Sea God’s incarnation, asked seriously.
The Sea God’s original form looks like a shark head, generally relying on creating fear to cultivate belief.
But the avatar has a normal Faser People appearance.
"Price?" Lin Ke appeared to fall into deep thought immediately.
This made the gods tense, including the Sky God.
After all, this assembly of gods was called by Him, including inviting Lin Ke as well.
But the best situation He envisioned wasn’t that good.
The best situation He thought of was acquiring protection from the Great Wilderness esolate Lord, allowing a group of Faser gods to continue spreading belief in a part of Faser.
After all, the gods can clearly see that given a century, Faser will definitely have the gods fall, and all Faser People will become slaves to those outsiders.
Allowing them to survive would already be the best-case scenario.
And the worst-case scenario was only leaving the Sky God alone, then splitting faith equally with the Sky God or even giving away some faith to let the Sky God survive.
Therefore, He would first propose standing as equals, then suggest otherwise if Lin Ke didn’t agree.
After all, in His perception, the person before Him could certainly kill Him with just a finger.
Now, what Lin Ke said, being able to drive away those ferocious outsiders within just two years, was already the best-case scenario in His expectations.
The Sky God even wanted to agree immediately.
However, he still needed to hear the cost.
As ancient beings, they can remain calm.
"I’ve thought it through..." Lin Ke had long thought of the answer, after all, this answer was his future plan.
The gods watched Lin Ke intently, hundreds or thousands of years never paying such attention, afraid of missing any keywords in Lin Ke’s words.
"After driving them away, Faser’s realm will be under Flame Demon Buck’s rule for a hundred years, and you must not interfere directly or indirectly." Lin Ke smiled: "That’s my condition."
Under Flame Demon Buck’s rule for a hundred years?
No direct or indirect interference?
The gods immediately fell into contemplation.
This condition was previously just a simple decision.
After all, beings who had become gods for over hundreds of years had stored some belief power.
A hundred years’ support was nothing, it was easily achievable with a sleep state. For more chapters visit NoveIＦire.net
But now, this condition was somewhat difficult to agree to.
The gods had consumed a lot!
Whether it was the first wave of Naseng’s offense or the torment over the past year, it greatly depleted the gods’ belief power.
Medium divine powers and above could endure, but they were worried about those below medium divine powers.
Even if Buck completely eradicated Faser’s temples within those hundred years, the gods could again rule Faser once the hundred years ended.
Those with medium divine powers and above were already very tempted, but some with lower divine powers and endangered divine powers were very hesitant.
If they fell asleep, they would sleep forever.
Yet is it they who make the decision?
"Great Wilderness esolate Lord..." The Sky God spoke, and the gods fell silent.
"What do you say, Sky God?" Lin Ke smiled.
He bypassed the gods and directly asked the Sky God, making it clear he had no regard for the other gods.
Of course, the other gods remained aloof and saw nothing wrong.
"Then, Great Wilderness esolate Lord, what about you?" The Sky God, reflecting the sun and moon in his eyes, stared intensely at Lin Ke.
Lin Ke had said so much just now, yet did not specify his position.
Though Lin Ke hadn’t conducted any excessive acts over the past year, it was merely a year.
Many gods could endure a thousand years planning a single event, especially for a large sub-plane.
"Me? If I want, you all must die." Lin Ke grinned, displaying a benevolent smile while stirring a bit of the Staff of Annihilation’s aura.
Sounding like the waves, a terrifying aura filled the temple.
The gods were horrified, they felt as if they’d become mere mortals, their throats grasped by an exalted deity.
Even the King of Magical Beasts of Naseng couldn’t resist, much less a group of gods from a sub-plane?
Even the Sky God was astounded by such power.
But it didn’t stop there.
"Let me show you the crimson deep within my heart."
