"Put away your boring jokes, Starspirit. I'm not someone who can be easily angered, so you can either leave now, or wait for your bad name to be passed down forever."
Zooey's words were not very useful to Li Ke. He had seen too many All-Mouthy Kings in the arena, but they often died in his hands, so Li Ke had ample experience in dealing with this kind of thing.
"Ah, what a troublesome and boring guy. Then I'll get straight to the point. You're too slow. According to the plan of the gods, when you meet Yatoku again, you should have ruled one-third of the Runic Continent. But you're too slow, and you've failed to live up to the expectations of the gods. "
Zooey's face became serious, but this was just a trick. After all, when a person who was always smiling suddenly became serious, then you would think that this person was really serious.
"You should have ruled Shurima, but you resurrected an ancient undead. What a waste of the gods' arrangement. Now you're facing a great opportunity, but you decided to give it up because no one can believe you. Ah, the one who is admired by the gods, how long are you going to disappoint them? "
Zooey ignored some secret things, which was that Azir's tomb had been tampered with by them, and they had done something when Li Ke arrived. Although Azir's selflessness was indeed noble and met the requirements of the ascendant's selection, who cared?
If the gods could give it to them, they could naturally take it back.
"Why do I have to rule half of the Runic Continent before Yatoku arrives?"
Li Ke tried hard to gather information. What Zooey said was too bizarre. He admitted that his magic was beyond his imagination, but even those high and mighty gods regarded him as an important chess piece, which was really puzzling. Especially the idea of letting him rule half of the Runic Continent, he really couldn't figure out why.
"Of course, it's because you can't abandon this world, and you're willing to sacrifice everything for this world! It will become an energy conversion device with no self, allowing the gods to have a chance to surpass their limits. "
Zooey's happy side made her want to tell the truth, but her rationality made her say something else.
"Because your ideals and dreams are very much in line with the will of the gods. Your thoughts are the thoughts of the gods, so the gods will help you."
Her voice was just loud enough for Bernard to hear when he pushed the door open. Bernard, who was about to knock on the door with a snack in his hand, naturally stopped. He leaned his ear against the door and carefully listened to the conversation between Li Ke and Zooey.
He didn't want to betray Li Ke, but information was the foundation of people like him.
"This is a matter of course. Perhaps you can't understand this as a mortal, but I can tell you that if your thoughts are compatible with a god, then not only will you be able to obtain the power of that god, but you will also be blessed by many gods. Because this is the meaning of the existence of gods. The God of Justice could do anything for justice, and the God of Glory could do anything for honor. So you can accept the gifts of the gods with peace of mind. "
Outside the door, Bernard could not help but hold his breath when he heard Zooey's voice. Although his nervous heartbeat had already exposed his existence, it was clear that Li Ke and Zooey had tacitly acknowledged his existence.
"What if I say no?"
Li Ke had never expected the help of the gods. He was more inclined to create a god like the Storm Goddess. A god born from human faith would always be under the control of humans, unlike a god like Zooey, who would give and destroy humans because of her own preferences.
When he said this, the originally clear sky suddenly became gloomy. Countless lightning bolts and dark clouds appeared out of thin air above the city. The sudden change in weather made the people in the city exclaim and panic, because along with these changes, there was a sense of death.
"Then, I've let the gods down."
Zooey said with a grin. Several large teleportation portals appeared in the sky, and meteorites crashed towards the city amidst the screams of the people. The entire Pi City fell into a state of panic. Everyone panicked and tried to escape, but Li Ke knew that once these 50-meter-long meteors hit the ground, it would be useless no matter how hard they tried to escape.
He just looked at Zooey silently. When the meteorites were about to hit a building, they suddenly entered another teleportation portal and disappeared from the city.
"So you want me to rule a third of the Rune Continent just to threaten me?"
Li Ke looked at all of this expressionlessly. Of course, he knew that Zooey was threatening him, and he couldn't do anything about it.
"Let's put it this way. Son of Man, you are the wedge chosen by the gods. You are the bridge and chain of the new generation that connects humans and gods. After all, the gods have left this world for too long. Without the help of humans, it is very difficult for us to regain our former status."
Zooey's smile turned cold.
"Although some of the gods think that this is a good idea, there are still some willful and reckless existences. So if there is no one with enough power to deter them, the humans will be badly hurt, and the gods won't get the results they want. So your appearance is necessary. Even if you don't appear, there will be the next person. But you are the most perfect. Your dreams and dreams are in line with the gods' expectations … You should be able to understand what I'm saying, right? "
Zooey still didn't say everything. Indeed, the gods wanted to truly appear in this world, but what they wanted wasn't what Zooey said. Even though Li Ke was a wedge, the method of their return and the main character that allowed them to return as saviors was Yatoku.
He was a Great Demon who was willing to do anything to destroy them, even using the power of the Void. He was the destroyer of the world.
Who else was more suitable than this Great Demon to serve as a foil for their bravery and justice? After all, not only did they fit the roles, but they also added colors to make the stage more beautiful.
Did they have a reason to refuse?
"Interesting."
Li Ke also thought of Yatoku. His intuition told him that the next time he met Yatoku, the scene would be out of everyone's expectations.
Just like how Yatoku understood him, he also understood Yatoku.
