Chapter 753: Chapter 416: Kingly Auspicious Beast, Baize!_2

Why did it know nothing?

And...

Although Lu Ran’s strength was noteworthy, these three Fierce Gods... even it found them difficult to slay, so how had the human in front of it managed to do so?

As if sensing Baize’s apprehension, Lu Ran’s confidence surged.

"God Baize, since you don’t like it that I’ve gone from bad to good, could it be possible that you say I am imbued with evil because I’ve been hunting these evil beasts and got tainted by their malice, those aren’t truly mine, and I am indeed a king of both talent and virtue!"

"Hmm?" Lu Ran, clutching the Glutton’s Stomach and Heart of Qiongqi, pressed on.

Baize: ?

You’re talking nonsense!

Did this guy want one to blatantly lie while wide-eyed?

However, at the moment, Baize indeed felt the inclination to continue the conversation with Lu Ran, so it agreed, "Maybe so."

"That’s very good." Seeing Baize change its statement, Lu Ran, beaming proudly, smiled and said, "Then God Baize, why not discuss your initial purpose?"

Baize said, "My intent was to assist the King of the Human Race to rule the world, using human power to purge all evil. The world today has too many evil beasts like Taotie, whose eating is no longer merely for sustenance but has turned completely into a pleasure derived from gluttonous killing. It swallows every life even though these lives do not affect its growth at all."

"Qiongqi and Zhu Yan are the same, mostly causing destruction to satisfy their own evil desires, and there are many such Fierce Gods."

"I hope to use the power of the Human Tribe to eliminate these beasts that affect the stability of all tribes."

"I can provide all their weaknesses, habits."

"Your hunting of Taotie, Qiongqi, and Zhu Yan... also counts as a good deed for this land. At first, it’s possible I was indeed mistaken."

Lu Ran understood that Baize was also seeking the Power of Faith of the human race, but Baize’s starting point was indeed good.

Moreover, Baize was smarter than most Totem Beasts that sheltered a particular human tribe—it had directly found the human king who possessed an air of royalty for a direct collaboration. Thus, its status within the Human Tribe would also be exceedingly elevated.

Its position would be the most upright!

Lu Ran sighed again, but since that was the case, he didn’t understand why the most famous Totem Beast of Xia Country at the end wasn’t Baize, but rather Dragon and Phoenix...

"So now, are you willing to collaborate?" Lu Ran asked.

Although he didn’t know what resources he could exploit from Baize, since he had already confirmed that the Exotic Beast Egg was Baize, he must obtain some heritage from this mature Baize.

Baize was still somewhat hesitant.

"But feel free to speak."

"I still feel that you have talent but no virtue," Baize said. "Assisting you doesn’t sit right with me."

Assisting Lu Ran... for some reason, Baize envisioned a more terrifying demon loom over all tribes.

Lu Ran: ???

Manager Ying: holding back laughter.

Manager Ying could be considered one of the people who knew Lu Ran best. To say that Lu Ran was bad wasn’t exactly true. For an old lady whom no one dared to help on the street, Manager Ying believed Lu Ran would definitely help. But if the old lady accused Lu Ran of something, Manager Ying also firmly believed Lu Ran, knowing no one could punish him, would ignore all rules and clean sweep her soul without opting to educate or correct her—even if her family came to accuse him, Lu Ran wouldn’t mind wiping them out with a flick of his hand.

From the king’s perspective, Lu Ran would definitely consider his and his close ones’ interests over the life of the Empire and its peace and stability.

This was Lu Ran. He could do good things, but if it displeased him, he wouldn’t mind transforming into the Holy Son of the Necromancy Cult. This was the most real Lu Ran that Manager Ying had observed.

Lu Ran’s way of doing things, compared to the traditional sense of high moral standards, definitely had a vast difference. Just the act of consuming souls was something most people wouldn’t dare to perform, but Lu Ran not only dared to consume them himself, he even dared to let his Pet Beast eat his own soul.

This might be why Baize sensed the "evil."

"I understand," Lu Ran didn’t make it difficult for Baize, he said, "Give me a few days, and you will meet a person of great virtue and goodness."

"Hm?" Baize paused in surprise.

Lu Ran smiled faintly. "A ’good person’ can be portrayed. It’s true that I carry more negative energy, but that’s because both good deeds and evil acts can serve as my sources of energy."

If Lu Ran wished, he could have the Six Paths Flower erase his evil thoughts and then enchant him with the merit of goodness, improving his temperament.

Although he might not be able to completely deceive Baize, as long as he could make Baize feel psychologically comfortable, that should suffice, right?

"Good. Then I’ll wait," Baize didn’t probe further.

"By the way, since God Baize mentioned that the creature within this Exotic Beast Egg is of your kind, once it hatches, I will definitely nurture it well. If possible, I also hope you could provide some advice for me," Lu Ran said:

"In exchange, I’ll also present you with a grand gift when the time comes."

Baize turned and departed.

"I’ve got it."

......

Several days later.

Lord Divine Deer returned.

Time Attribute resources were incredibly rare. Once they appeared, they were quickly divided up by the surrounding Evil Beasts. Lord Divine Deer, leveraging its power as the Forest God, found an immature Time Attribute resource deep in the forest.

There might be other resources in oceans or deserts, but such places were hard for the Divine Deer to scour. The forest was its main stage.

[Name]: Flower of Time (Immature)

[Level]: World’s Rare (Epic)

[Introduction]: A Time Attribute resource. After being consumed by extraordinary beings, those without the Time Attribute may awaken it, and those with the Time Attribute will see their temporal power greatly enhanced!

Clearly, this was a superior resource to the Leaf of Time, the very Time Attribute awakening resource that Lu Ran was eagerly thinking of!!!

"Although it is immature, I can use the life force of plants to hasten its maturation, so I picked it early. However, maturing a Time Attribute plant is also quite challenging, and I need time," said the Divine Deer.

"Speaking of Time Envoy... how come you seem like a different person after a few days?"

Seeing Lu Ran, who exuded an aura of a "saint," the Divine Deer was utterly baffled, sensing Lu Ran’s thick goodwill and approachability, it wondered if Lu Ran had taken the wrong medicine.

"Lord Divine Deer, I have always been this way. Perhaps hunting a few Evil Beasts has manifested my virtue," he responded.

"This flower... let me handle it, no need to trouble Lord Divine Deer with maturing it. I will just leave it to the Six Paths Flower."

Divine Deer: "..."

Not long after, Pine God also returned.

It came back chattering excitedly, with a face of panic, saying, "Goodness, you have no idea about the situation in the Star-Moon Continent... it was simply impossible to quietly search for Time Attribute resources. But persistence pays off, and my counterpart combed through Star-Moon, and finally found a suitable Time Attribute Legendary Resource!!!"

"Really? Meow?!" Manager Ying was overjoyed.

Hands on its hips, Pine God said, "Of course."

As it spoke, it took out a soul remnant from its personal space.

[Name]: Soul Remnant of the Elf Tribe’s Four Seasons Goddess

"This is part of the collection of Netherworld God. The Four Seasons Goddess is of the Time Attribute. During the war that led to the extinction of the Elf Tribe, the Four Seasons Goddess fell, and her soul remnant was collected by the Netherworld God.

Previously, seeing your envoy absorbing souls, I thought you wouldn’t mind, sister. So theoretically, this soul remnant should count as a Legendary Level Time Attribute resource, right? Compliment me, Maintainer sister! Praise me, please." Pine God was really struggling to find anything else, it was fortunate that his colleague had some in stock.
