Needless to say, this ball of light was the God King. Although the way it appeared surprised Li Huailin and the others, it was still within the acceptable range.
"Is the quest complete?" Not receiving an answer, the Celestial King asked again. Although they couldn't see the Celestial King's face, they could hear a hint of impatience in his tone.
"The quest is not complete," Li Huailin replied.
"If that's the case, we'll contact you tomorrow," the Ruler of Gods replied.
"Wait, wait …" Li Huailin stopped the Ruler of Gods, "Wait a moment, I have something to ask."
"…" The ball of light flickered, but it didn't disappear immediately. After a few seconds, the voice came again, "Yes."
"Is the sinner you want us to find the kind that looks very dark, has thin limbs, and looks like a long-armed gorilla?" Li Huailin asked. "Is it the kind that we're looking for?
"Yes." The God King on this side answered very simply.
"We found it, but it's too strong. We can't beat it," Li Huailin said.
"Can't beat it? How many people do they have? "the Ruler of Gods asked.
"How many? Why are there so many of them? " Li Huailin was surprised, "I thought there was only one. Are you kidding me? This thing is so strong, and we can't even kill one? How many do you want us to kill? "
"You can't even kill one?" the Ruler of Gods was surprised.
"Yeah, the other party is way too much. We don't even lose any HP when we fight them. Even if we use Divine Power, it still doesn't work. Hey, hey, can we even do this quest? How many more do you think there are? How are we supposed to play?"
"So you want to give up on the quest?" the Ruler of Gods' voice sounded a little uncomfortable.
"How is that possible? After all, this is an SS-rank quest. We're already at the last step, how can we give up?" Li Huailin immediately said, "But … we really can't beat them. How about this, sir Ruler of Gods, give us a little more time to complete the quest?"
"Huh?" the Ruler of Gods was surprised, as if he didn't understand what Li Huailin meant.
"You said this quest doesn't have a time limit, right? We're not in a hurry to kill them, right?" Li Huailin immediately said, "How about this? Why don't you let us go back and level up for a while? Once our levels are a little higher and our equipment is a little better, we'll come back here to complete this quest. Isn't that very stable?"
"… …" the Ruler of Gods went silent for a bit, as if considering Li Huailin's words. Seeing that the Ruler of Gods didn't have any reaction, Li Huailin continued, "Look, sir Ruler of Gods, the five of us are already the strongest adventurers out of all of the adventurers. This quest is basically ours, but we really can't beat them right now. I saw that this quest doesn't have a time limit, so I wanted to discuss with you if you could let us level up a bit more before completing the quest."
Li Huailin's words were very much in line with the in-game method. If they met a boss they couldn't beat, they would naturally level up a bit more and then challenge it again. This quest didn't have a time limit anyway. What Li Huailin was worried about was that Zhang Youdong and the others were too strong, and the Ruler of Gods might find out about it. However, Li Huailin said this because Zhang Youdong also said that the Ruler of Gods didn't really understand the situation here. Secondly, the Ruler of Gods didn't really understand their strength either. He might only know that they were the top players, but in the words of the Celestial race, players were like ants. Li Huailin felt that the Ruler of Gods thought the same way. Wasn't it normal for ants to lose to another group of ants? He shouldn't be suspicious.
"So that's how it is." The Ruler of Gods went silent for a bit, then finally spoke, "Then how long do you plan on preparing?"
Seeing that the Ruler of Gods seemed to agree with Li Huailin, Li Huailin smiled to himself, but he didn't show it. He continued to say worriedly, "If these monsters are so strong, I think … … they're at least Level 90. We need to reach Level 90 at the very least. If that's the case, I think we'll need at least a month … …"
"A month? That's not too long … …" The Ruler of Gods agreed easily.
"But a month is enough time for us to level up. We also need time to collect equipment and cultivate divine power," Li Huailin said immediately. Li Huailin immediately said, "But that'll take too long. I don't think Sir Godking can wait that long. How about this, Sir Godking can give us some rewards first. Anyway, we'll definitely complete this quest. Giving us a deposit doesn't seem like a big deal, right?"
"Hehe." The Ruler of Gods sneered. "You want benefits without doing anything? You're quite the schemer."
"Uh … … That's just one of the reasons … …" Li Huailin continued, "Actually, I want the Ruler of Gods to transfer some divine power to us. That way, we can save some time. You see, the Celestial race has so much divine power that they can't use it all. It's not a big deal to transfer some to us, right?"
"Transfer divine power? That's a good idea, "the Ruler of Gods sneered." Do you think something like divine power can be transferred so easily? You don't even have a Divine Seat, and you're still thinking about this? "
"Eh? It can't be transferred? That's troublesome. How about this, the Ruler of Gods can open up the island you gave us to cultivate divine power from last time, or some other place where we can cultivate divine power. Then, when our levels are high enough, you can teleport us there to cultivate divine power. What do you think? "
"You sure know how to bargain," the Ruler of Gods said. "Do you really think there's such a good thing in the world?"
"Ruler of Gods, I'm doing this for the quest. Even if I want to run like a horse, I need to be fed good grass. I'm just discussing this with you," Li Huailin said with a smile.
"… …" The Ruler of Gods fell silent again. Just as Li Huailin was wondering if the Ruler of Gods had crashed, the Ruler of Gods spoke again. "If you want to cultivate for another month, I can agree to it. I won't cancel this quest for now. I'll leave it to you, but don't think about giving you rewards in advance. As for the matter of cultivating divine power, I can provide you with a place. Let's go to that island from last time."
"That's … not bad." Li Huailin thought for a moment, then turned to his teammates and said, "See, I told you the Ruler of Gods is very generous."
When Li Huailin summoned Jade Emperor and the others, they didn't say anything. This was because Li Huailin hadn't told them how he was going to negotiate with the Celestial King. However, after hearing Li Huailin's words, everyone understood what he meant. At this moment, everyone was very cautious.
As soon as Li Huailin finished speaking, the space around them suddenly shrank. Then, a blue door of light appeared in front of Li Huailin. It looked exactly the same as the one they came through. The ball of light immediately said, "Come back first, hurry up."
From the looks of it, the Godking's portal wouldn't be able to last much longer. So, Li Huailin and the other four quickly entered the portal. The blue light flashed for a while, and when they recovered their vision, they found themselves back in the Godking's Palace. In front of them was the same Godking, as well as Saint Lofrey. The God King's expression still couldn't be seen, but Saint Ilofrey's expression didn't look too good.
"Are those sinners really that powerful?" Saint Ilofrey immediately asked when he saw them.
"That's true. I've only encountered one, but I can't beat it," Li Huailin immediately said. "It's not something we can beat at our level, okay? But I seem to have encountered a small problem here … "
"A small problem?" Saint Ilofrey asked. The Godking looked over as well.
"Actually, we couldn't beat it. If we fought any longer, we would have lost and died. But for some reason … the monster over there suddenly let out a few 'wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
"Really?" Saint Ilofrey and the Divine King looked at each other, then Saint Ilofrey said, "We don't know about that either. However, these criminals are enemies of the Divine Race. They probably didn't pay much attention to you because you weren't part of the Divine Race."
"I see." Li Huailin nodded, "But that guy is really strong. He's at least a level 90 Boss. Right now, our average level isn't even 80. We definitely won't be able to defeat him. That's why we need to train hard for at least a month. Sir Divine King, is it really impossible to give the reward in advance? "
"…" The Godking didn't say anything. Saint Ilofrey, who was in front, roared, "How rude! This isn't a place for you to bargain. Since you want to train, then hurry up and train. Sir Divine King said that he'll open up a place for you to train. This is a Teleportation Stone. It can teleport you to the Trial Island's teleportation point. You can come and go as you please. Don't think about anything else. "
As Saint Ilofrey spoke, she handed the five of them a stone. There were golden runes carved on it. It seemed to be the Teleportation Stone. It should be a fixed-point teleportation point. After handing over the stone, Saint Ilofrey waved her hand again. "Alright, I'll bring you down. I'll summon you again in a month. I hope you can complete the quest by then. Otherwise, we'll have to find another chosen one."
