What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real?

[The member of the God Clan who had warned Ye Yu when he first arrived here was named Yuan Zhedong.]

[He had already spent nearly two thousand years in this place.]

[His foundation was actually quite solid.]

[The fact that he had managed to survive for so many years was something even he found hard to believe.]

[Unfortunately, after two thousand years, he was still only at the middle stage of the New God Realm.]

[There was nothing he could do about it. Lady Jin's swamp had its rules.]

[For the first ten years, newcomers had to hand over seventy percent of their divine power every day.]

[After ten years, the amount increased to ninety percent.]

[When your body was left empty day after day, merely staying alive was already a blessing. How could anyone dare dream of breaking through and greatly increasing their cultivation?]

[Yuan Zhedong's advice to Ye Yu was simple: take care of yourself and try to survive for as long as possible.]

[Those gods who could not endure eventually became food for the overseers.]

[As long as one was alive, there was still hope. Perhaps one day a miracle would happen. Maybe a righteous god would pass by, shatter all the formations here, and rescue everyone.]

[Ye Yu neither agreed nor disagreed with that idea.]

[Waiting for someone else to save him was equivalent to placing his fate in another person's hands.]

[Compared to that, Ye Yu preferred holding his own destiny.]

[Quite some time had passed since he last used Divine Touch.]

[Ye Yu felt it was time to test his luck again and find a way to leave this place.]

[Otherwise, spending every day in this swamp was not only a waste of time, it felt as though he was starting to rot.]

[Still, being impatient did not mean he could blindly pick a target.]

[The only people Ye Yu normally had access to were these captive gods.]

[Every one of them had dull eyes and faces full of despair.]

[In that condition, what good rewards could they possibly produce?]

[At the very least, the person Ye Yu wanted to touch had to be someone at the overseer level.]

[Of course, if he could touch Lady Jin herself, that would be even better.]

[Unfortunately, the Three Legged Golden Toad seemed to remain in seclusion at all times and never appeared in person.]

[Yuan Zhedong had stayed here for nearly two thousand years and had never seen Lady Jin even once.]

[There was even less chance for Ye Yu.]

[It seemed he would have to continue looking for an opportunity among the overseers.]

[The next day, during the afternoon, it was once again time to hand over divine power.]

[Just as before, everyone lined up outside the cave entrance.]

[And Zheng Ke, as always, floated high in the air, coldly observing everything below.]

[The moment Ye Yu saw this scene, an idea immediately came to mind.]

[Without hesitation, he stepped sideways out of the line.]

[This unusual action instantly caught Zheng Ke's attention.]

[His figure flashed through the air before appearing directly in front of Ye Yu.]

["Are you trying to resist?"]

[When he spoke those words, there was even a trace of excitement on his face.]

[Clearly, he could hardly wait to devour Ye Yu.]

[However, Ye Yu had no intention of giving him that opportunity.]

["Overseer, I have no intention of resisting. There are simply some things I would like to discuss with you in private."]

[Zheng Ke narrowed his eyes slightly, unable to hide his disappointment.]

["I have no interest in speaking with you privately. Return to your place immediately, or I'll swallow you whole."]

[The threat failed to frighten Ye Yu.]

[Not only did he refuse to retreat, he actually took another step forward, further shortening the distance between them.]

[Before Zheng Ke could become angry, Ye Yu transmitted his voice directly into his mind.]

["Overseer, I can help you obtain what you truly want."]

[Hearing this, Zheng Ke's expression visibly softened.]

[The divine power surging around him gradually calmed.]

["Oh? You know what I want?"]

[Ye Yu continued through voice transmission.]

["Of course I know. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared step forward like this."]

["From what I've observed, eating gods is nothing more than a small outlet for your boredom. What you truly want is freedom from Lady Jin's control. You want to leave this place, don't you?"]

[The moment those words were spoken, Zheng Ke's eyes became razor-sharp.]

[A chilling aura of death spread from his body.]

[Three eyes appeared on each side of his face.]

[The sight alone was enough to trigger trypophobia.]

[Being stared at by four pairs of eyes was not a pleasant experience.]

[Suppressing the urge to feel disgusted, Ye Yu calmly met his gaze.]

[He had not spent just one or two days observing these overseers.]

[These Demon Gods all gave the impression that they would devour a god at the slightest disagreement.]

[As though they genuinely enjoyed eating gods.]

[But in truth, Ye Yu had once been a Demon God himself. He knew exactly how Demon Gods thought.]

[What kind of proper Demon God went around eating people for no reason?]

[Except for a few special species, of course.]

[Based on that, Ye Yu had made a bold deduction.]

[Overseers like Zheng Ke did not actually enjoy devouring others. They simply used it as a means of intimidation.]

[It was a management technique.]

[This swamp trapped the gods who arrived here.]

[But it trapped the overseers as well.]

[According to Yuan Zhedong, Zheng Ke's cultivation had not improved at all during the last two thousand years.]

[In fact, every few years, people would even see the overseers entering the strange cave to offer up divine power themselves.]

[All signs pointed to one conclusion.]

[This Lady Jin was definitely not the kind of employer worthy of loyalty.]

[A truly good boss knew how to share benefits.]

[A good boss would never refuse to feed the middle managers, nor force them to sacrifice endlessly without reward.]

[How could the overseers not harbor resentment under such circumstances?]

[So Ye Yu was gambling.]

[He was betting that Zheng Ke wanted to leave this hellhole just as much as anyone else.]

[The facts proved that he had guessed correctly.]

[Using voice transmission, Zheng Ke asked:]

["You have a way to help me?"]

[A smile appeared on Ye Yu's face.]

[It seemed his first step had been the right one.]

[As for how he would actually help Zheng Ke escape this place...]

[Ye Yu had absolutely no answer.]

[All he was doing now was painting a grand vision for the overseer and creating an opportunity to use Divine Touch through physical contact.]

[That was all.]

[As for what he would say afterward, that depended entirely on how he chose to bluff.]

[And bluffing was one of his specialties.]

[There was no need to worry about that.]

[Ye Yu took another step forward and raised a hand, intending to pat Zheng Ke on the back.]

[Zheng Ke noticed the small gesture.]

[Though it was somewhat presumptuous, his desire to leave this place outweighed his displeasure.]

[Even after noticing it, he made no attempt to resist.]

[Because he still held hope.]

[Just as their bodies were about to make contact—]

[A bell suddenly rang out.]

[The sound instantly drew everyone's attention.]

[Zheng Ke immediately retreated a step and shot into the sky.]

[Leaving Ye Yu standing there in a daze.]

[What the hell?]

[He had been one step away from success.]

[Why did Zheng Ke suddenly run off?]
