Chapter 817: Recovering (2/2)
Lila wasn't an idiot. Without the power to fight back, it would be suicidal to defy this person. She was absolutely sure. No one she knew of could contend against this guy.
”So-Sorry for my impertinence, senior. I'll g-give you the Black Water s-s-straight away.”
Finally, Soren nodded with a satisfied expression.
”That's more like it.”
He stopped using his Mental Energy to suppress Lila, leaving her free to do whatever she wanted. Of course, Lila didn't waste time and brought out the rest of the Black Water, which was Soren's Mental Energy Source.
The entire thing then moved in Soren's direction before entering his head. It was quite a weird sight since the amount of 'Black Water' was several times the size of Soren's head. Nevertheless, all of it disappeared inside as if Soren's head was a black hole.
Seeing that, Heavin couldn't help but ask.
”Master, is it okay to absorb it now? Won't you be forced to ascend to the God Realm because of that?”
Soren shook his head as he replied.
”It's fine. Now that I have much higher control over my Mental Energy Source, I can suppress the absorption entirely.”
Feifei then asked something else.
”Does that mean that you've recovered your full power now, Senior Soren?”
Soren shook his head as he said.
”No. Some of my Mental Energy Source was lost over time. Fortunately, the seal that kept my Mental Energy Source inside has slowed down this process. Otherwise, it would have been much worse. Then again, I have the power of a weak god now, which is already a good start.”
”The good thing is that I now have more than 50% of my Mental Energy Source back. With that, I now have the ability to remake the rest of it. Of course, it'll take a long time before I finish.”
Krune, Feifei, and Heavin were happy for him.
”Congratulations, Senior Soren/Master.”
Soren faintly smiled as he looked at Luvile.
”What about you? Where are my congratulations?”
Luvile's expression turned dark.
”Fuck you!”
Soren laughed out loud, gladly accepting Luvile's indignation.
Lila, on the other hand, couldn't help but feel like she had been forgotten.
'What should I do now?'
Of course, Soren and the others knew that she was still there. With that, Soren looked in her direction with a solemn expression.
”Well, even though you wanted to negotiate something that was already mine, it is a fact that you've helped me. After all, if you haven't called Krune and Iem back then, my Mental Energy Source would never be released, and I would still be in the Mortal Realm.”
Lila was taken aback for a moment but smiled in the end.
”It's my pleasure to help a god like you, senior. I'm probably one of the very few cultivators or demon beasts in the Godly Path Realm who has talked with three real gods already.”
Soren didn't care whether she was telling the truth or not. After that, he looked at Krune before sending him a message through Mental Energy. Krune then pondered for a moment and nodded in the end.
”Sure. We aren't losing anything with that anyway. I also don't feel like it's right to take the Black Water from Senior Lila without giving anything back.”
Lila had a puzzled expression on her face as they talked about her. However, she wouldn't dare to intervene.
Finally, Soren looked in her direction before offering.
”You're already in the 7th Stage of the Nascent God Realm, so it should be more than enough for you to easily resist the Godly Energy in the God Realm. As thanks for helping me recover my Mental Energy Source, I'll bring you to the God Realm. You don't have to be afraid of the God Ascension Tribulation.”
Lila was taken aback for a moment before she began to feel excited. The ascension tribulation of the Godly Path Realm wasn't any easier than the Mortal Realm one. It also had the same chances for those who could pass it, being less than 1 percent. Naturally, no treasure in the Godly Path Realm could be more tempting than what Soren had just offered her.
”Thank you, Senior. This humble one will be eternally grateful.”
Soren nodded, not minding it too much.
”However. Be aware that once we arrive there, you'll be on your own. Alright, I'm leaving now. I'll come back to take you once the time comes.”
Lila nodded and fervently replied.
”Yes, Senior!”
