Chapter 1455: Vow of Loyalty (2/2)

The princess slowly asked: “Then what is it that you wish for?”

“Make a vow.” He smiled while looking at her: “If you swear allegiance to me after becoming a sea G.o.d, you shall give your race a chance.”

She turned silent after hearing the proposal. n.o.body would accept this kind of condition.

“I’ll give you another chance.” Li Qiye saw her silence and added: “After becoming a sea G.o.d, if you still don’t want to obey me, then just challenge me, simple as that. If you defeat me, you can regain your freedom. If you lose, the same conditions apply.”

This took her by surprise, she didn’t think that he would bring forth this additional clause. After musing her options, she made up her mind and solemnly declared: “Very well, I agree to your conditions. After becoming a sea G.o.d, I will pledge my allegiance to you!”

She had thought it over carefully. If he was actually plotting against her, he could have done so in a much easier manner. The marriage was already a foregone conclusion since she had already agreed to it. If he wanted to borrow her power, what was closer in this world than husband and wife? They just needed to perform the ceremony to become one. At that point, the pavilion would even use all of their strength to support him.

However, he refused this marriage directly, proving that she wasn’t his goal. Furthermore, he was giving her a chance to win her freedom. As a confident person, if she were to be defeated by him after becoming a sea G.o.d, there would be nothing else to say. Such a brilliant man would be worthy of becoming her leader!

“Good, few people can make this decision.” He saw her use her true fate to make the oath and smiled: “You might not have the great insight of your progenitor, but you certainly have his courage.”

She didn’t become complacent from the praise and naturally replied: “You flatter me, Brother Li.”

“Very well, I shall stay true to my word. It is time for me to teach you.” With that, he took out the pentadao gates and used its eternal seal to lock this s.p.a.ce.

At the same time, he performed a supreme art from the s.p.a.ce Scripture to add another layer of containment by opening up an entirely new s.p.a.ce. After these precautions were set, he utilized Cryptic s.p.a.ce to hide inside the multilayer spatial compartments.

Such seriousness shocked the G.o.ddess. She was a discerning person and understood that all of these spatial methods were most likely on the same level as methods Immortal Emperors used.

“Brother Li, is there a need to be so careful?” She spoke with a changed expression: “Who can actually come and eavesdrop on us?”

“If it’s just a normal conversation, it would be hard for us not to notice intruders.” He smiled and said: “However, I will not only tell you secrets that your Hallowed Ancestor has been keeping quiet about, I will also be performing something to your blood.”

This was when the G.o.ddess realized that the scope of this situation was far beyond what she imagined.

“Do you see why he doesn’t want to tell you now? He is afraid of exposing your pavilion’s plan, or rather, the Prime Sea G.o.d’s secret plan.” Having said that, he pointed at the sky.

She inquired: “The high heavens?”

“No, not the high heavens. Your sea G.o.d hasn’t reached that level just yet.” Li Qiye elaborated: “It is about your race, your origin!”

The princess felt as if she was being suffocated after hearing this due to her own astuteness. This was not a good thing, this was an omen that stemmed from her bloodline.

“This is also why your sea G.o.ds have a shadow council.” Li Qiye chuckled.

“A shadow council?” She was startled.

Li Qiye noticed her expression and realized something: “I see... The old man didn’t tell you anything while the pavilion erased all traces of it in addition to forbidding people to talk about it.”
