"Good!" As Wang Baole bowed, the eyes of the meaty Lord of Desire shone with a strange light. He nodded slightly, while Zhou Huo and the others also cupped their fists at Wang Baole.
Among them, Tuo Lingzi's expression was ugly, but there was doubt in his eyes. This was because he saw his son standing beside Wang Baole. Although his son's aura was much weaker, his body and spirit were unharmed. What made him feel even weirder was that he could see the fanaticism in his son's eyes when he looked at Wang Baole.
That made Tuo Lingzi suppress his displeasure towards Wang Baole. With a dark expression on his face, he bowed politely.
Wang Baole didn't care about Tuo Lingzi. Regardless of whether Cheng Lingzi could persuade him, the difference in the Law of Gluttony between the two of them was enough for Wang Baole to ignore most of the Gluttony Lords.
Among the other eight Gluttony Lords, only two of them were worthy of his attention. During the Gluttony Festival, the Bodies of Desire that these two Gluttony Lords had revealed were both more than five thousand feet tall. One of them was even more than seven thousand feet tall.
As Wang Baole returned the bow and swept his gaze across all the Gluttony Lords, the residents of Gluttony City reacted one after another. They knew that a ninth Gluttony Lord had appeared in Gluttony City. Soon, an uproar broke out, which eventually turned into greetings that lasted for a long time.
For many years, there hadn't been a Gluttony Lord in Gluttony City. Therefore, Wang Baole's promotion was of great significance. Soon, the Gluttony Lord of Gluttony City announced that there would be another Gluttony Festival today.
The announcement caused the atmosphere in the entire City of Appetite to go wild once again. The most excited people were the people in the Ice Spirit Workshop. Even the dwarf, who had always hated the young man and had been chewing on his eyeballs, suddenly felt a sense of gratitude toward the young man in the midst of his excitement.
He felt that the other party's previous actions had been very correct from the beginning to the end. This was equivalent to finding himself a backer of the Gluttony Lord, causing everyone in the Ice Spirit Workshop to become subordinates of the Gluttony Lord, directly promoting them to the direct line of the Gluttony Lord.
Thus, in his great mood, he actually took out the eyeball in his mouth and returned it to the young shop assistant. The latter was just as excited, and after receiving it, he quickly put it into his empty eye sockets.
Just like that, the Gluttony Festival, which had been added at the last minute, began. At the same time, Wang Baole also received an invitation from the Lord of Desire.
"Bing Lingzi, come with me."
Even as the words left his mouth, the meaty Lord of Desire waved his right hand, causing the area around him to grow blurry as he and Wang Baole vanished from the air above Appetite City.
When he reappeared, he was already in the mysterious City Lord's Mansion.
The City Lord Manor was located at the center of Appetite City. It was shaped like a tall tower that seemed to exist in between reality and illusion. It seemed to be in Appetite City, but at the same time, it didn't seem to be.
Its illusory location was the altar in the center of the city, while its actual location was another layer of space that overlapped with Appetite City.
This place was infinitely big, and at the same time, there was a huge bronze cauldron. This cauldron seemed to be cooking some kind of ingredient all year round. While the cauldron made gurgling sounds, there was also a rich aroma that filled the entire space where the City Lord Manor was located.
Other than that, there were no other decorations in this space. Only the Lord of Desire appeared here, sitting cross-legged on the huge cauldron. He lowered his head to look at Wang Baole, who had been teleported here by him.
As soon as Wang Baole appeared, he was immediately attracted by the huge cauldron. In his eyes, the cauldron was filled with a sense of time, as if it was an item from ancient times. The sense of decay on it couldn't be concealed even by the aroma that filled the air.
Then, his gaze landed on the huge cauldron and the Lord of Desire floating there. He clasped his fists and bowed again.
After Wang Baole bowed, a deep voice echoed out from the chunk of flesh on the huge cauldron like muffled thunder. "The Law of the Six Desires comes from the God Spirit …."
"However, the God Spirit is in a deep slumber, so we control the Law on his behalf.
"As for you … it doesn't matter who you are, where you came from, or what your goals are. Since you have become the Lord of Gluttony and are connected to the source of the Law of Gluttony, then … you are a part of the Law of Gluttony." As the chunk of flesh spoke, the sound of boiling in the huge cauldron grew louder. Mist spread out from the cauldron and enveloped the Lord of Desire.
As Wang Baole watched, his pupils suddenly constricted. That was because he saw that as the fog enveloped Lord Yu's body, he actually started to melt. Drops of blood spread out from his body and dripped … into the large tripod cauldron below.
The boiling in the cauldron became even more intense, and the aroma spread out even more strongly.
"Lord of Desire, you …." Wang Baole couldn't help but say.
The Lord of Desire looked deeply at Wang Baole for a moment, then slowly said, "The inside of the Cauldron of Gluttony is my true form. What you see now is the same as what you see. It's just a clone."
Wang Baole said nothing. When he had first entered the world of the first level, he had the vague feeling that the Lord of Desire had figured out some of his true identity. Now, he was even more certain that there was no point in trying to deceive almighty beings like them.
Even as he stood there silently, the chunk of flesh on the huge cauldron spoke casually. Its words caused Wang Baole's mind to tremble.
"Not too long ago, the Emperor Spirit was shaken, and the Guardians intervened. Then, the Upper Realm issued an edict saying that an outsider had trespassed into the Upper Realm. Lord of Desire, we were ordered to investigate, and we were offered a reward.
"Do you know what the reward is?" Within the mist, the Lord of Desire's body was still slowly melting. He looked at Wang Baole with rapt attention.
"Freedom!" Before Wang Baole could say anything, the Lord of Desire spoke again.
As soon as he said those two words, Wang Baole continued to remain silent.
The Lord of Desire also fell into silence. After a long moment, he suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly.
"Freedom …. It's funny that some people just can't see through it. For example, that woman, the Lord of Desire, is one of those people.
"Right now, she's the one who's working the hardest to find that mysterious outsider in this world.
"As the Lord of Desire, she's the most sensitive to the outside world. As long as this outsider appears in front of her, she'll instantly sense it …. She doesn't even need to do anything herself. She only needs to summon the Emperor Spirit and the Guardians to obtain the reward.
"Do you know how to neutralize this detection?" The Lord of Desire narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Baole. Wang Baole had been silent the entire time, and the Lord of Desire couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
"Transform it into desire," said Wang Baole calmly. "It's the same as when I became the Lord of Gluttony.
"That's only one of the reasons. There's another prerequisite, and that is … the Lord of Desire has been severely injured. She needs to transform her unconscious melody to heal herself. That way, she won't be able to detect anything strange in the beginning." As soon as the words left the Lord of Desire's mouth, he looked at Wang Baole. His eyes suddenly shone brightly, as if he was waiting for Wang Baole to give him an answer.
Although his words weren't a question, he believed that the Lord of Desire understood what he was saying.
