After Duan Ling Tian had a taste of the rewards, a crazy idea struck him.

‘Even if they don’t come for me, I can look for them, right? Many people probed me during my journey, but due to their weaker cultivation bases, I won’t gain anything by killing them. However, they might be under the protection of some advanced Lords of Gods. They’re roaming around with the intention to kill so there’s no need for me to feel guilty about killing them. Moreover, everything in this world is an illusions created by supreme powerhouses. It’s not unethical to kill them…’

At the end of his thought, Duan Ling Tian vanished into thin air.

At the same time, a rudimentary Lord of Gods was probing Duan Ling Tian from a distance. When he discovered that Duan Ling Tian was an advanced Lord of Gods, he quickly withdrew his Divine Consciousness and planned to avoid Duan Ling Tian. However, soon after he saw Duan Ling Tian vanishing into thin air, he saw a figure appear in front of him. When he saw that it was Duan Ling Tian, his expression changed drastically. He, a middle-aged man who looked like he was old enough to be Duan Ling Tian’s elder, looked at Duan Ling Tian in fear and panic as he pleaded for his life.

“M-my lord, I, I’m just a rudimentary Lord of Gods. You won’t gain anything by killing me…”

In the wilderness, there were some powerhouses who would kill the middle-aged man because they viewed him as scum. However, such powerhouses were rare. After all, most powerhouses were busy and had better things to do. As such, as long as he lay low, he could usually avoid being killed.

Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly as he looked at the middle-aged man. “You’re right. However, you should be worth a decent price if I sell you.”

The middle-aged man’s expression changed again upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words. People like him feared running into powerhouses like Duan Ling Tian, who had nothing better to do, the most. He felt like he was on the verge of breaking down as he continued to plead out loud, “My lord, I’m only a rudimentary Lord of Gods. At most, I’m only worth a few divine crystals! A few divine crystals aren’t worth mentioning to advanced Lords of Gods like you!”

“You have a point.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.

The middle-aged man was in the midst of heaving a sigh of relief when Duan Ling Tian continued to say, “However, even a few divine crystals are worth something, right?”

The middle-aged froze. After a moment, driven by fear, desperation, and the will to survive, he unleashed his Divine Energy, turning into a ball of flames as he tried to flee. In just a moment, a muffled thud rang in the air as he ran into a translucent barrier.

When the middle-aged man saw the void rippling, he realized he was trapped in a spatial prison. He hastily brought his prominent divine artifact out and began to strike desperately.

Boom!

Alas, the middle-aged man’s attack barely left a scratch on the translucent barrier. His expression was one of despair when he realized it was futile. He felt regretful for agreeing to patrol this area today. He had changed his schedule and signed up for patrol duty today so he could focus on his cultivation later. If he did not do that, he would not have run into Duan Ling Tian today.

“Do you want to live?”

When the middle-aged man heard these words, he shuddered involuntarily. It was as though he could feel his imminent death. When Duan Ling Tian’s words finally registered, he hastily cried out, “My lord! Yes, I want to live! I want to live!”

At the same time, the middle-aged man vowed to quit his job if he survived today. Although he would obtain small rewards occasionally from the job if he was lucky, it was not worth it at all if it meant risking his life. He thought to himself, ‘If I survive this, I won’t take shortcuts when cultivating again!’

Duan Ling Tian stared at the middle-aged man with a piercing gaze as he asked casually, “Do you know any advanced Lord of Gods? Think properly before you answer me. You only have one chance to save your life.”
