THE GOD EATER

At least, someone who broke an oath they swore on their Dao can still live. It will be difficult, but it is possible. But if the Dao Heart is broken, the consciousness will fracture. Even the chance of reincarnating will be gone.

Because of the severity of this oath, Tepid Scholar was only worried about Loki dying prematurely while he threw down the divine crystals.

While he was doing this, he said to Heavenly Eye, "It seems I have underestimated this dragon. I thought it was bad enough that he was recruiting Dao Lords to protect him, but what he is doing is much worse than that."

Without waiting for her to ask what he meant, he said, "I had planned to ambush him when he advanced. I wanted to do so regardless of how many people he managed to recruit to protect him."

"But even if I still want to disregard everything and try to kill him, I will have very little motivation to do so. After all, he has already sold off the Supreme Metacs and avatars in his possession. All that will be left to gain from killing him is some emotional satisfaction for all the trouble he has caused me and a lot of divine crystals."

"Don’t get me wrong, the emotional satisfaction and the divine crystals are good. But they are not good enough to motivate me to fight everyone protecting him. Only the Divine Spark and Divine Mountain make it worth the risk."

"But now that I have sworn to protect him, I have even fewer reasons to try to kill him. I will have to wait until 20 years are over before I make my attempt. Truly shrewd."

In response, Heavenly Eye sighed and said, "Please stop talking to me about the dragon. I don’t know him or have anything to do with him."

"Are you sure?" Tepid Scholar asked skeptically. "Are you sure that you didn’t tell him to do this?"

Exasperated, Heavenly Eye said, "Yes, I am sure. In fact, I am so angry with him that I am thinking about killing him. This tactic of his may be smart, but it will only buy him a short amount of peace from us. When the protection period is over, I want to see how he will escape me."

Her hatred for the dragon sounded convincing, but Tepid Scholar still didn’t believe it. However, he didn’t bring up the matter of his suspicion anymore.

Instead, he said, "Anyway, thank you for letting me win the Death Supreme Metac."

"As long as you do what you promised, I will be satisfied," she said gruffly.

Down below, Loki was catching divine crystals and putting them into his Cave Heaven. There were many divine crystals, so it took a while for all of them to be dropped and a while longer to catch all of them.

When he was done, he said, "The first item was sold successfully. It is time we move on to the second item."

As he spoke, he waved the golden string for them to see.

"Who is interested in this, and how much are they willing to pay for it? Don’t forget that it is also a Supreme Metac. It might not be as powerful as the Death Supreme Metac, but it is..."

Before he could finish, Heavenly Eye interrupted him, saying, "5,000 years of divine crystals and 20 years of protection."

Everyone else who wanted to bid stopped in their tracks when they heard this price. This was because this price was too much to top.

As usual, Martial Will had wanted to bid. He didn’t need or want the Luck Supreme Metac, but he was getting ready to make it difficult for the other Dao Lords to get it.

However, he had to give up on his plans because the price that Heavenly Eye called out was the exact price that Tepid Scholar used to win the Death Supreme Metac earlier.

If he could have made things difficult for Tepid Scholar earlier, he would have done so. The fact that he had to give up with the Death Supreme Metac meant that he had to give up on harassing Heavenly Eye now.

Martial Will didn’t like this at all. He looked at the two of them with narrowed eyes full of suspicion as he said, "I smell a scheme. I smell a stinky scheme, and I hate it."

Black Eye was the most resentful about this. In his anger, he roared, saying, "Damn it. I curse all of you to suffer as much as I’ve suffered."

If he was truly cursing them or was only talking out of anger, no one could tell for the moment. As for why he was so angry, many of them could accurately guess the reason.

The Luck Supreme Metac was the main reason he sent five avatars to descend to the Sea of Worlds. But now he has lost four of his avatars, might lose the fifth avatar, and has definitely lost the Luck Supreme Metac.

So not only did he not gain anything for the risk he took, he has lost too much. Anyone in his shoes will have the right to be angry.

Unfortunately, it didn’t matter to Loki if Black Chain had the right to be angry or not. He ignored the Dao Lord’s expletives and went ahead to finish the deal with Heavenly Eye.

He had her swear her oath. This time, he paid extra attention to her oaths to make sure that she wouldn’t play any tricks.

In his opinion, she was the trickiest to deal with. And he expected her to try to get back at him for making her deal with her and then going ahead to kill her avatars.

He can still remember how she had asked him not to kill her avatars. Technically, she hadn’t begged him. She had offered him benefits in exchange for the lives of her avatars.

One of the benefits she offered was keeping the matter of his Divine Spark and Divine Mountain a secret. At that time, she had called the Divine Mountain a Divine Tower, so it took him a while to understand what she was talking about.
