“There’s nothing to consider; this is a red line that must not be crossed,” Lin Xiao decisively refused.

The Sea God’s expression darkened at a visible speed, but he seemed unwilling to give up and asked,

“I can assure you I’ll only ask what you can answer. If you cannot answer, you may remain silent.”

Lin Xiao shook his head and said,

“If 1 could, I would agree, but unfortunately, it is not permitted.”

“That’s regrettable!”

“I am even more regretful!”

An invisible force bound him, and the Archbishop stretched out a hand, ripping open the space and dragging him into it.

Once again, a grand divine might made his limbs stiff, preventing him from moving. As he lifted his eyelids, what came into view was a dignified figure shrouded in endless blue light. In the corner of his eye, across the vast expanse of the blue, were blinding flashes of blood-red light. Red and blue violently repelled each other, and he saw small bursts of light exploding.

They were confronting each other with the power of their Fields, limiting the scope of their battle within a confined area.

The Sea God was concerned about the safety of Yuyuan City, and the Snake People Demigod did not want to sever ties completely. After all, he was not as powerful as the Sea God, and if he destroyed Yuyuan City and provoked the True Body of the Sea God to come, he would be in trouble.

The Sea God was decisive. As soon as the confrontation began, he whisked Lin Xiao away, and as both the Sea God and the Snake People Demigod simultaneously withdrew their Fields, he was pushed by a Grand Power towards the Blood Realm dominated by the Snake People Demigod.

Looking like a human male, exceptionally handsome, the Snake People Demigod wore a wicked smile on his face, reached out with an empty hand, and Lin Xiao flew straight into the outstretched palm of the Snake People Demigod.

Lin Xiao looked calmly at the fast-approaching Snake People Demigod. Around him was an incredibly robust shield of Divine Power preventing his escape, but he had no intentions to flee. Under the gaze of two Demigods, he couldn’t escape even if he tried, and besides, this situation was already within his expectations.

Long before he lured the Snake People Demigod in Black Water Swamp, he had anticipated all possible scenarios.

He might receive the protection of the Sea God.

Or he may not gain the Sea God’s protection.

Or perhaps the Snake People Demigod would catch up with him midway.

Even the possibility of narrowly escaping from the Snake People Demigod had been considered.

Being sent away after the breakdown of talks with the Sea God was a minor surprise to him, but it was, in reality, no different from not having the Sea God’s protection—it was within his expectations.

At this moment, according to his prior expectations, he already had a countermeasure, which was…

Expressionlessly, he turned his head and showed the Snake People Demigod the middle finger, a gesture understood across countless worlds, angering the Snake People Demigod, who then saw a chicken egg-sized blob of pitch-black liquid materialize in the palm of Lin Xiao’s hand, enveloped in a faint layer of light. Without hesitation, he opened his mouth and slapped it down his throat.

After that, he pointed at the Snake People Demigod and unleashed a stream of classic curses.

But to his surprise, the Snake People Demigod’s face, though previously filled with rage, softened as he caught Lin Xiao. The room-sized claw tightened, shattering the Sea God’s shield of Divine Power and holding him in its grip. His fingers clenched together, and a terrifying strength assailed him.

Lin Xiao growled lowly and glared furiously at the Snake People Demigod, enduring the sound of his bones cracking like firecrackers under the immense pressure without crying out in pain.

“Tell me, where is your half-plane?”

The Snake People Demigod leaned forward, his enormous face close at hand, the formidable Divine Power and the faint golden light casting a light gold hue upon him.

Clearly, this Snake People Demigod had no knowledge of the players’ Divine Realm and mistook it for some half-plane. It was evident that he didn’t know as much as the Sea God did.

Lin Xiao gave a miserable smile; he wouldn’t be able to maintain his Saint Descend incarnation any longer, so he had fewer concerns. He spat a mouthful of blood at the Snake People Demigod, which was blocked by a layer of light membrane, but it angered the Snake People Demigod, whose golden-colored, glassy pupils narrowed.

When a deity becomes enraged, the heavens and earth change color!

Instantly, infinite blood light surged, and the Snake People Demigod grabbed him, lifting him up to his own mouth with a chilling voice:

“No matter, as long as 1 eat you, Gras will obtain the information he desires.”

Having said that, he stuffed Lin Xiao into his mouth.

As a demigod, if he wished, by consuming any creature, he could gain the victim’s memories, and this was precisely the Snake People Demigod’s plan.

But this was exactly what Lin Xiao had been hoping for. As he was forced into the Snake People Demigod’s mouth and down his throat as deep as the Abyss, he silently thought ‘good’, with a thought, he released the concentrated poison from his belly—the protective light film on the outside suddenly vanished, and a power as scorching as lava exploded from within his belly, swiftly coursing through his entire body.

Then, he gave up this physical body with a fragment of his consciousness. As soon as he was free, he sensed the powerful will of the Snake People Demigod fiercely pouncing on him.

He chuckled, allowing it to pounce, only to be repelled by his fragment of consciousness. He turned and flipped a middle finger, then his consciousness vanished, breaking through the plane under the protection of Divine Artifact, and returning to the Divine Artifact Platform, which lay beyond the plane.

Inside the Divine Realm, a speck of bright light followed the link between the Divine Artifact Platform and the Divine Realm and poured into the God Country within the Divine Realm. There, in the core palace of God Country where he had been meditating with closed eyes, Lin Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, and a pale gold light shone forth.

As he slowly absorbed all the memories from that fragment of consciousness, a trace of a smile appeared on his face. Several seconds later, he suddenly stood up, expression solemn, and commanded in a deep voice:

“Divine-mandate: To Black Water Swamp, exterminate the heretics!”

In that instant, he spent over a hundred thousand Faith Value to issue a Divine-mandate to all believers, including the Clan and many True Believers.

At the same time, he expended ten thousand units of Faith Value to establish a temporary connection with a devout member of the Nagas Clan; he would need this Naga to command the operations that were to follow.

Meanwhile, outside Yuyuan City, the Snake People Demigod had already sensed something was wrong. When Lin Xiao was consumed, the scorching poison, which was as hot as molten lava, had dissolved the Naga’s body into rolling black magma, coating the Snake People Demigod’s body and corroding Divine Power within his organs.

With the essence of hundreds of marine poisons extracted from a Giant Sea Snake fully erupting, the golden light on the Snake People Demigod’s body dimmed immediately, and continued to darken with the spread of the intense poison.

The Snake People Demigod did not dare to linger, turning around to flee immediately.

But this change had already caught the attention of the Avatar of the Sea God. After closely observing the condition of the Snake People Demigod, he suddenly burst into laughter and said:

“I have a treasure that I would like the revered Gras to appreciate.”

The Snake People Demigod clearly understood what the Sea God intended and, without even bothering to pretext, transformed into a blood light and fled.

However, just as he had burst out less than a mile away, the sea suddenly exploded, and a mountainous blue water column soared into the sky. It transformed into a colossal male Merfolk, which was the Incarnation of the Sea God. As soon as he appeared, his Grand Power exploded forth, and the blue realm of the sea spread like a tide, fiercely colliding with the Blood Realm that the Snake People Demigod had also unleashed..
