Chapter 540 The Reward of the Greedy God
"Reward? I wonder what kind of reward would satisfy me?" Ye Nanxiao had already sorted out the situation before him.
As the first person under the God of Destruction, the God of Greed will surely strive to perfectly complete the tasks given by the God of Destruction in order to consolidate his position.
The crowds on the street, and even the city lord of Shixing passing by, could not see the God of Greed and Ye Nanxiao. The surrounding noise also disappeared.
In the boundless silence, Ye Nanxiao recalled some fragmented memories. Among the seven original sin gods, only greed is an almost omnipotent being.
In other words, the person in front of us is another real powerhouse!
However, this is a powerful ally. The God of Greed will only be loyal to the God of Destruction. The other Gods of Original Sin are not necessarily allies to him, but may be bargaining chips.
Upon hearing this, the God of Greed looked at Ye Nanxiao with a hint of admiration. What a greedy person he was, always striving for more profit in a transaction!
"Your divine trial has begun, so there's not much I can give you. After all, most of the time, external gods are not allowed to interfere during the divine trial, especially since it's the Ice God's divine trial," the God of Greed said, shaking his head slightly.
If Ye Nanxiao were still in the mortal stage, he could then offer a reward that would be considered generous by mortal standards, and according to the rules of this world, he could easily create a soul ring or soul bone by using the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
However, interfering with the divine trials sent down by other gods is a major taboo in the divine realm.
The Ice God's meticulous nature was already known in intelligence reports, and the God of Greed did not want to ruin the Ice God Realm's goodwill towards him.
"My divine test has already begun?" Ye Nanxiao asked in confusion, glancing down at the frozen flower around his neck. When did his divine test begin?
Ice Goddess didn't say anything, did she?
"No, the God of Greed is the kind of god who would stoop to lying. Since he says my divine test has already begun, it might be true." Ye Nanxiao thought to himself. In Shrek Academy, there are also some final exams that start from the moment the school begins and last throughout the entire semester. All the students' performance in class is included in the scoring criteria.
It's possible that the moment the Ice God gave him the Frozen Flower, he had already embarked on the path of divine trials.
"It seems you didn't know. I was too talkative." The God of Greed's expression stiffened. He had lost out. Even before the transaction had taken place, he had already given Ye Nanxiao a piece of information, and such important information at that.
Seeing the God of Greed's expression freeze for a moment, Ye Nanxiao immediately realized what was happening.
The most greedy god will not allow himself to be taken advantage of.
"Senior Greed is indeed generous, even paying the deposit. It seems you really value my abilities, although I myself am not very confident," Ye Nanxiao said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the God of Greed's expression softened somewhat; Ye Nanxiao had given him a way out.
However, as the top leader under the Destroyer and a god at the peak of the first-level gods, how could he possibly take advantage of Ye Nanxiao, a junior?
Furthermore, Ye Nanxiao will most likely become a member of the Ice God Realm in the future, as he has always been greedy and wanted to establish a friendly relationship with the Ice God Realm.
"You're not bad, kid. But I see you have a knack for that intelligence, so I'm giving it to you," the God of Greed asked with a smile.
"Then thank you, senior." Ye Nanxiao bowed respectfully. The other party was a deity who had lived for an unknown number of years, and the God of Original Sin took it upon himself to absorb and purify the original sins of all worlds, making him worthy of respect.
The God of Greed waved his hand, "Don't think of me as too old. Once you succeed, you'll be the youngest god. I'll only be a few tens of thousands of years older than you."
"Alright, Senior Greed, what are you planning to give me as the reward for the mission?" Ye Nanxiao asked with a smile, the Frozen Flower floating in front of his chest, slowly rotating and emitting a crystalline light.
The God of Greed gazed at the crystalline frozen flower, pondered for a moment, and said, "If you were a mortal, I could give you a divinely crafted soul ring and soul bone, which are the most precious treasures in your world. If you were a successor, I could give you a divine artifact, a piece of information about the divine realm, or allow you to choose four and a half divine artifacts, and a prophecy about the future of this world."
Ye Nanxiao's narrowed eyes suddenly opened wide, then narrowed again, leaving only a slit to conceal his eyes, which had now turned into the symbol of the Golden Soul Coin.
Artifact!
The reward offered by the god of greed was a divine artifact and intelligence.
The Frozen Flower around Ye Nanxiao's neck is a top-tier artifact bestowed by the Ice God, allowing Ye Nanxiao to remain online and prevent Yuan Hai from forcibly disconnecting him from the world.
Even if the God of Greed gave an ordinary artifact, in the Douluo Continent, as long as one can activate it, one is a Limit Douluo, on par with Super Douluo.
However, Ye Nanxiao's attention was focused on the second reward offered by the God of Greed.
Artifacts may be powerful, but the artifacts bestowed by the god of greed may not be suitable for one's own use.
Although a semi-divine artifact has only half or even less power than a divine artifact, the fact that it allows one to choose it gives one a great chance to find the ultimate ice that suits them best.
Ye Nanxiao remembered that the Death Tower, which would disrupt the world in the future, had a top-tier level 10 soul tool that was the closest weapon to the realm of a semi-divine artifact. There was also Huo Yuhao's undead demi-plane, which was a semi-divine artifact forged by Electrolux, enough to give Huo Yuhao an almost infinite army of undead.
The power of these weapons lies precisely in their adaptation to the user's own abilities.
"Senior Greed, you asked me to keep an eye on the God of Asura, right?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
"Exactly." The God of Greed nodded.
If it weren't for the fact that Shura possessed two divine positions and held the title of one of the five great god-kings, the God of Greed would have wanted to take on this task himself, carry it out, and then rightfully collect the reward.
That's a treasure bestowed upon me by the Lord of Destruction himself! I want it so badly!
However, the God of Greed was helpless; he could not evade Asura's powerful perception, not to mention that Asura also controlled an organization like the Celestial Hunters.
These idiots don't care who you are. As long as Shura or Hypnos gives the order, you have to go back with them for a cup of tea and a forced chat.
This is also one of the reasons why the God of Greed descended to the mortal realm to seek out Ye Nanxiao.
Another reason is that the enemy of my enemy is my natural ally. He had been annoyed with the pretentious Asura God for too long. This guy was just standing in the central hall as a statue, taking credit for the achievements of other gods. But he also had a silver tongue and had brainwashed a group of gods.
Ye Nanxiao shook his head slightly and smiled, "Senior Greed, I am merely a nobody undergoing the test of inheritance, while your opponent is the Asura God, one of the five great god-kings of the God Realm, a supreme god of slaughter!"
"I know this is indeed very difficult, but I will do my best to help you," the God of Greed sighed. If it were him, he wouldn't get involved in this mess either.
After all, they are currently undergoing a trial of inheritance. If they are not careful, all their previous efforts will be in vain, and even the name of the divine inheritance will be taken back. This is an unbearable pain for mortals.
The chance to achieve immortality was placed in your hands, and then suddenly it was taken away. No mortal could accept that.
"Okay, I have no questions." Ye Nanxiao said decisively.
Before he could even utter the words "I need more money," the god of greed promised to provide assistance, and to do his best, so he had no reason to refuse.
The latest novel is first published here!
The God of Greed nodded, extended his left hand, and a ball of light appeared in his palm, revealing an exquisite golden ring.
"This is a little gadget that allows you to contact me, but you only have three chances to use it, and you can't contact me consecutively. Otherwise, I might be discovered by those fools, which would be troublesome to deal with," the God of Greed instructed.
Ye Nanxiao nodded. He had met the Celestial Hunters before, and they were indeed a bunch of simpletons.
But isn't this solid gold plate ring a bit too flashy?
The God of Greed noticed Ye Nanxiao turning the large ring he had given him over and over, and asked, "What's wrong? Don't you like this? When I came down here, I saw that you mortals seemed to really like this kind of thing."
"I'm probably not old enough yet," Ye Nanxiao said, touching his nose.
"You don't even like gold? Young friend Ye, you need to learn to appreciate the beauty of gold." The God of Greed said earnestly, and casually changed the appearance of the large ring in Ye Nanxiao's hand into a simple white ring.
Then, the god of greed turned and vanished into thin air.
Ye Nanxiao took a thin, bluish-gray rope from his storage ring, wrapped it around the ring, and wore it around his neck, next to the Frozen Flower.
If the ring shows any abnormality, it will be suppressed immediately by the Frozen Flower.
Apart from the Ice God, Ye Nanxiao would not blindly trust any of the gods in the heavens. He would not choose to believe a person based on their words, but only based on his own judgment.
Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you make a judgment.
Ye Nanxiao glanced at the sky, still feeling like he might be dreaming. Just a while ago he was thinking about how to deal with Yuan Haisan's increasingly intense targeting, and now an ally has come knocking on his door, and it's even a god from the side of the God of Destruction.
My chances of surviving to the end have increased.
"Hands on hips for a moment, let me show off a bit first." Ye Nanxiao let out a long breath, the pressure on him seemed to lessen a bit.
After posing for a while, Ye Nanxiao suddenly remembered that he had rushed out in a hurry.
"Oh no, if Sister Xiaotao catches me after I've been out for so long, she'll find another reason not to let me sleep tonight!" Ye Nanxiao hurriedly slashed open a spatial rift and rushed back to the cultivation room.
The God of Greed returned to the place where he had descended, and the little beast on his shoulder suddenly spoke, "Master, you used to only make one transaction for each benefit, why did you make an exception for this inheritor?"
The God of Greed gently stroked the little beast's head and said, "There's more than one benefit involved here. If things are handled well, my gains will far exceed this!"
The seven deadly sins under the God of Destruction, besides the four original sins of sloth, pride, gluttony, and wrath, also include lust and envy, who also yearn to receive more of the God of Destruction's attention.
He was greedy, but he was carrying out the mission of investigating the Asura God to relieve the master's worries. He was the master's most trusted confidant!
"I remember that a thousand years ago, Arrogance had a believer who built a temple for him in this area, but it seems to have been buried underground. I can borrow it for a while. Time in the mortal realm is too short for us. I should sit for a while."
The god of greed sensed for a moment, then turned to look west, took a step, and his shield instantly covered a thousand miles.
