Chapter 367: I Want to Gamble with You (Seeking Subscriptions)_2
We come today with the purpose of peace talks. Also, we apologize to you and the Holy Light Divine Court for the actions of our envoy previously.
And we hope that we can sit down with you and have a good conversation to resolve the conflicts between us."
"Then what about this motley crew of riffraff?"
"These friends are witnesses I invited."
The Divine of the Life God System spoke politely: "It's also to make our conversation more formal."
"Are you afraid of being caught off guard by me for another beating and then being charged a fee?"
"Hahaha... Yes."
Rafdel unexpectedly agreed straightforwardly.
"I know Mr. Lette's intention, but I have a better proposal. I wonder if you could give me a chance?"
Lette raised an eyebrow: "Go ahead and speak."
"Mr. Lette, the conflict between us cannot be reconciled for the time being.
The two divine artifacts in your hands are extremely important to our Life God System.
Their significance far outweighs their functions!
In our God System, they are the symbol of orthodoxy.
Therefore, we cannot under any circumstances, knowing that these two divine artifacts are in someone else's hands, allow them not to be taken back."
Lette sneered: "Previously, when they were in the hands of the Corrupt Lady, I didn't see you asking for them."
"Mr. Lette, we really didn't know that the Corrupt Lady was once Lady Moon. The Life God System suffered heavy losses, and many ancient things are no longer traceable."
Rafdel spoke sincerely: "As for Fierce Sun King's Divine Crown, I think you know, we have tried searching for it, but to no avail.
Now that these two divine artifacts are in your hands, we only want to retrieve them in a reasonable way to return them to the Life God System.
You can ask for anything, as long as it's not too excessive, we will certainly do our best!"
Lette laughed heartily: "It sounds so nice, but it's still about these two divine artifacts.
My stance has never changed, I won't give them.
Because these things are mine."
Rafdel frowned: "That's inappropriate of you to say. Everyone in the Divine Realm knows that these two divine artifacts belong to the Life God System."
The motley crew behind him began to clamor, and the momentum was once very heated.
Clang.
Lette picked up the Sin Light and smashed it onto the Dragon Slayer Blade beside him, making a crisp sound, silencing the meeting room.
"What you said is not wrong. But I don't understand it in that way."
Lette spread his hands: "You see, Fierce Sun King's Divine Crown and Moon God Crown are symbols of the Life God System.
Since you don't have these two divine artifacts, it proves that you are not the Life God System!
The orthodoxy of the Life God System should be with our Holy Light Divine Court!"
Such a reverse thinking statement made the gods feel absurd. But upon reflection, it seemed to make sense.
Rafdel looked shocked—Oh no, we have become the side branch!
"How can you say such irresponsible things?"
Lette laughed heartily: "Listen up, gods. I now hold two God King Level divine artifacts representing the orthodoxy of the Life God System.
The direct descendants of the Fierce Sun King and Lady Moon are here with us.
Where else but our Holy Light Divine Court should the orthodoxy of the Life God System be?
Instead, this person is here masquerading under the name of the Life God System.
You tell me, on what basis do you claim to be the Life God System?"
Rafdel was outraged and wished to argue for his God System, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't utter a single word.
His face turned red, his eyes almost popped out, looking like a frog.
"You treacherous rebels, usurpers and impostors, we haven't pursued your misdeeds under the banner of the Life God System, yet here you are, asking us to return the divine artifacts?
It's utterly ridiculous!
I've never seen anyone so shameless!"
Though not all the gods present understood everything, they got the gist of Lette's meaning.
For a moment, the brains of the gods were a bit twisted.
It seemed like we came alongside justice to address grievances, but now it's developing towards being accomplices of traitors?
How could things turn out this way!
It's just too fantastical!
"How can you! Things aren't supposed to be this way!"
Rafdel became flustered, his mind became chaotic, and his speech became incoherent.
Fortunately, the Elf Dragon God beside him remained clear-headed and held Rafdel back.
"Hey! Have you forgotten that you have other matters to attend to?"
"Other, other... oh! Right!"
The words of the Elf Dragon God pulled Rafdel back from the brink of rational collapse.
He took several deep breaths to adjust his pace.
"Mr. Lette, arguing over words is quite meaningless."
"Is that so? I find it quite entertaining."
Seeing Lette's smirking face made Rafdel's heart, which had just calmed, rage again.
He bestowed several Divine Spells·Natural Breath on himself to calm down again.
"The thing is, Mr. Lette, the conflict is here, and we ultimately need to resolve it.
Since we haven't been able to reach an agreement at the negotiation table, I suggest another approach.
Let's try a different method."
Lette's interest was instantly piqued: "Oh? What method?"
"Duel."
"Duel?"
Before Lette could say anything, Afra became excited.
She grabbed Lette and whispered, "Don't agree to this!"
"What do you mean? Is there a catch with this duel?"
"A duel is a frequently used method by gods to resolve issues."
Afra hurriedly explained to Lette taking advantage of the situation.
"After all, at the level of gods, it is impossible to immediately escalate any matter into a conflict.
For example, like you, going after the Dragon Clan's Dragon God Emperor directly."
Lette shrugged: "I didn't think it was a big deal."
"That could easily create a blood feud between two God Systems, causing many gods to fall.
For matters such as shepherding the Lower Realm, frictions often arise between gods.
If every time the gods directly participated, no God System could withstand such frequent and significant losses.
So, in order to solve problems and avoid direct godly conflicts.
The duel as a practice was born.
Gods would choose their favored heroic spirits to engage in a coliseum-style battle.
The victory of the heroic spirits is the victory of the gods.
Everyone honors this agreement, supervised by all God Systems, Divine Countries, and Divine Courts of the Divine Realm."
Lette frowned slightly: "Heroic Spirit Arena? This kind of thing is really..."
"That was the ancient way of dueling. Later, as time went on, most gods felt that such duels between a few elite individuals did not adequately reflect the true power of a god and the depth of an entire God System.
So, they reformed it, which eventually resulted in two types of duel modes."
Lette laughed: "It's amazing that such a little trick even has a history of changes. You gods really are idle."
Afra stomped her foot anxiously: "Seriously listen to me. These two duel modes are the Extermination Mode and the Shepherd Mode.
The Extermination Mode is simpler, finding a plane corrupted by demons, and both sides send their armies of Divine Officers into this world to completely cleanse the demons and the enemies.
In the end, whoever ultimately occupies this lost plane wins."
Lette mused: "That's nice. While conducting the duel, a plane is cleaned up, which is a contribution.
And the Shepherd Mode, isn't it..."
"Yes, the Shepherd Mode involves finding a world to simulate the shepherding by the gods, and both sides, through missionary preaching, ultimately occupy the whole world!"
Lette raised his hand: "That can't be right, how long will the duel take then?"
"The small worlds used for the Shepherd Mode duel are generally not large, like newly formed World Bubbles."
Afra lowered her voice: "As you know, a shepherding world, during its growth, undergoes multiple shepherding processes.
Usually, the first shepherding has smaller profits, a smaller area, and scarce resources, like sour little fruits. Few are interested in it, preferring to wait until the World Bubble is larger and more bountiful.
Therefore, when the World Bubble is young, it is often used as a dueling ground."
After listening, Lette's eyes lit up: "This duel sounds pretty fun, doesn't it?"
