Absolute Destiny Game-Chapter 1404 - 38: Oath of Divine Punishment, Demon Lord Instance Group Formation

Embers City—City Lord Mansion

Nightfall descends upon this lone city in the wasteland once again.

Yet the darkness does not diminish the liveliness of Embers City in the slightest. From a bird’s eye view, the whole city is ablaze with lights, Immortals’ tunneling lights shuttle back and forth, various tunneling lights weave across the sky, creating splendid tracks, even busier than during the day.

Immortals inherently do not need sleep. Aside from a few who still retain mortal habits, most players do not stop even in the nighttime. For them, day and night are merely concepts—instances won’t close, Monsters won’t clock out, Equipment won’t fall into their bags automatically.

Time is experience, time is Level, time is Equipment.

The players who can come to the Great Thousand Worlds all carry some "grind emperor" attributes. Who among them hasn’t fought their way out from the thousands in their respective worlds? Who has the leisure to rest?

However, in the side hall of the City Lord Mansion, a few big shots arrived early here, drinking and chatting, without the slightest urgency of being in an end-of-world crisis.

The hall is brightly lit, a jade table carved with dragons and phoenixes is laden with Spirit Fruit Immortal Brew. Several Daluo Golden Immortals sit casually, eating and drinking.

All five Daluo Golden Immortals of Embers City are present.

The Full-time Expert sits on the left, with a calm expression, playing with a Jade Scroll; Taixu Xuanzhen sits alone in a corner, eyes closed and resting, seemingly detached from worldly affairs; Emperor Shitian sits in the main seat, smiling and occasionally glancing at the people present; I am a farmer is enjoying a golden roasted lamb chop, his mouth full of oil; Xiao Jie leans back in the chair, his gaze wandering among the few.

The atmosphere seems harmonious, but is actually turbulent.

Emperor Shitian glanced at the Full-time Expert on the left, then at the silent Taixu Xuanzhen in the corner, finally couldn’t help but speak:

"Brother Sui Feng, Farmer...what do you mean? Why bring two ’unrelated’ people here to join the fun?"

He deliberately emphasized the words "unrelated".

Xiao Jie and I am a farmer exchanged a glance, and laughed.

The two saw the people each other brought, almost instantly understood the other’s thoughts—this is not "joining the fun", it is clearly about pulling allies and creating balance.

"Brother Tian, your words are so hard to understand." Xiao Jie raised his glass, took a sip, and said slowly, "The five of us are the strongest among players, the ones who call the shots. Discussing world-saving matters, of course, we need everyone to deliberate on them together."

"Right, right!" I am a farmer quickly put down the lamb chop, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and smiled honestly in agreement, "Everyone discusses together! More people, more Strength! Unity is Strength!"

Emperor Shitian’s smile stiffened on his face, then he restrained it, his tone becoming somewhat gloomy:

"This should be the matter of us three ’Heavenly Destiny People’. We agreed initially—whoever first became Daluo Golden Immortal, the other two would fully support him in obtaining the Power of Saint."

"Exactly." Xiao Jie nodded as a matter of course, "So I called the president here. After all, the president is the first Daluo. We together help the president acquire the Power of Saint, it’s perfectly justified."

"Damn!" Emperor Shitian almost couldn’t hold back, "Don’t you f***ing play this trick on me! The Full-time Expert is not a Heavenly Destiny Person!"

"We said initially ’whoever first became Daluo’." Xiao Jie spread his hands, "Didn’t say it must be a ’Heavenly Destiny Person’. The president not being a Heavenly Destiny Person, is not important. We Heavenly Destiny People strip the Saint Fragments, form Power of Saint, then let the president use it to save the world—isn’t it perfect?"

"Without ’Unity of Heaven and Man’, he simply can’t use the Power of Saint!" Emperor Shitian frowned, "Once used, he will be affected by the nature of the Saint, eventually becoming Incarnation Taiyi, losing himself! This is not helping him, it’s harming him!"

I am a farmer appropriately showed a face of "sudden realization", exaggeratedly patted his forehead:

"Ah! Looks like the bet we made has a loophole! This...how about just forget it?"

"You two——" Emperor Shitian took a deep breath, trying to maintain demeanor, "You can’t play like this, right? Although it wasn’t explicitly said ’first Daluo’ only limited to us three, it was clearly implied in the context back then!"

Even with Emperor Shitian’s good temperament, he couldn’t hold back at this moment. His tone carried some anger.

Yet, I am a farmer still maintained his honest manner, scratched his head: "Brother Tian’s words also make sense...how about we all make an ’Oath of Divine Punishment’, then help Brother Tian obtain the Power of Saint?"

It was better not to mention "Oath of Divine Punishment". Once mentioned, Emperor Shitian’s expression became even uglier.

Last time it was Farmer who repeatedly used "Oath of Divine Punishment" as an argument, the problem is this thing is useless to Heavenly Destiny People.

This is clearly not intending to abide by the agreement.

The silent Taixu Xuanzhen finally raised his head, looking at the few with confusion: 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Speaking of...what are you all talking about? Why ’seize’ the Power of Saint? Shouldn’t it be used by Tongtian Saint to save the world?"

Emperor Shitian snorted coldly: "That old guy Tongtian has sinister motives, scheming! How can we let him have it?"

"Ah? Is that the case?" Taixu Xuanzhen looked bewildered, "How do you know? Triggered a special task? Or discovered some hidden plot?"

This question suddenly stumped the three.
