Li Yunmu shrugged. “I am sorry but it is truly impossible for me to do so! Your Underworld Serpent caused such a huge war, but are you sure the secret genetic code is with me?”
The woman snorted and said, “That is only natural. When the Heavenly G.o.ds Council wasn’t present at the Whale City, we searched all the possible locations, but couldn’t find it! Therefore, I am certain that the code is in Scandinavia!
“It was you who stole that secret genetic code! Don’t think that I didn’t see Odin’s mount entering and leaving Whale City! If you are willing to hand over the secret genetic code, then as the leader of Whale City, I will promise to leave you and that being in your body alone. Moreover, we will also help you advance to an ancient G.o.d.”
“Ha ha ha ha… Again an oral promise? Why should I believe you?”
“You don’t have a choice!”
The woman looked at Li Yunmu arrogantly because she had the capital to act like this. The Indian ancient G.o.ds as well as master G.o.d Lord Brahma were her bargaining chips!
Li Yunmu smiled slightly. “Self-confidence is good, but sometimes, excessive self-confidence becomes overconfidence. If I wanted to kill you, it would only take me an instant.”
The woman snorted. “You should stop trying to intimidate me! Do you think I am a fool? You aren’t in the Dark State, so you are only a half G.o.d! For someone who had just become a half step G.o.d, killing me won’t be easy!”
When faced with the woman’s confidence, Li Yunmu couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh. “That’s good! I will tell you then where the secret genetic code is!”
Finally, Li Yunmu seemed to be compromising, and he sounded genuine too. The woman became happy at the sight of it.
“Do you finally understand? You have a much clearer understanding of the situation compared to them. If you hand over the secret genetic code, I will certainly not treat you unfairly!”
Li Yunmu almost smiled. The woman before him was truly amusing!
He hesitated for a moment while looking at the woman anxiously waiting for his reply. Her manner was truly laughable, like a clown jumping around.
“The secret genetic code, it is inside my body!” he said one word at a time.
The woman p.r.i.c.ked her ears to hear, and her heart instantly went cold. She furiously looked at Li Yunmu and loudly demanded,”Are you playing with me?”
Li Yunmu rolled his eyes at her. “How can you call that a lie? I was clearly telling you the truth!”
“You!”
The woman pointed at Li Yunmu, unable to restrain her anger. She felt that he was too despicable, not agreeing to cooperate with her previously and now not agreeing to hand over the secret genetic code.
Since he was determined on making enemies with Underworld Serpent, she would also show no mercy toward him.
“Since you want to die, I won’t stop you! If you aren’t willing to hand over the secret genetic code, all the G.o.ds here will die with you! What Scandinavian G.o.d Council or Heavenly G.o.ds Council, everyone is garbage in front of Lord Brahma!”
“Who are you trying to scare? This Lord Brahma is only a phantom you created, and you want to swindle me? You are a little bit inexperienced!” Li Yunmu said indifferently.
The color instantly drained from the woman’s face once she heard his words. He… How could he see through the phantom of Lord Brahma? It was a card she had prepared for a very long time, just so she could force the Scandinavian G.o.ds Council and Heavenly G.o.d Council to hand over the secret genetic code.
Li Yunmu naturally didn’t tell her that it was the system inside him who had told him about it.
Just when the Indian ancient G.o.d had blown him away, the system had informed him of that fact.
[This Lord Brahma is not the real Lord Brahma, so he can only be a phantom they created. Apart from slightly increasing the strength of the ancient G.o.ds, it cannot do anything. How could a real master G.o.d awaken so quickly? Anyone with a brain could guess that.]
At that time, Li Yunmu had curiously enquired, “Then when will the master G.o.ds appear?”
But the system had once more returned to being silent, as if it was concealing some even deeper secret.
“Despicable! Almost gave me a heart attack. Good, good, good, you can continue! These Indian ancient G.o.ds are truly shameless, actually using a phantom of a master G.o.d to trick everyone.”
Li Yumu had exposed the truth of the situation in front of everyone without a care.
The woman pointed at him in obvious anger. “Stop spouting rubbis.h.!.+ With master G.o.d Lord Brahma present, you will all bend your heads in allegiance!”
Li Yunmu shrugged again. “I am sorry, but my bones are relatively stiff, so I can’t bend my head!”
“You!”
The woman seemed to have gone completely crazy because of him. She no longer bothered to continue talking with Li Yunmu and said to the eight G.o.ds behind her, “It’s your turn to move. Remember our agreement!”
The woman’s entire body shone with a green coloured light. Li Yunmu slightly knitted his brow. Was the woman planning to escape after threatening me?
When he thought to stop her, Indian ancient G.o.d Mahoraga, who had previously punched Li Yunmu, looked at him in great fury as if seeing his mortal enemy.
Li Yunmu shot a glance at him and coldly sneered. “You saved me the time to come find you. I will immediately pay you back for that punch earlier!”
Scandianvian G.o.d Council and Heavenly G.o.ds Council looked at Li Yunmu with a dumbstruck expression. Where did this half G.o.d get the courage and audacity to contend against the Indian ancient G.o.ds? Lord Brahma was overseeing them, so their strength was also above average.
Li Yunmu defeating Heavenly G.o.ds Council might have been a fluke, but how could he possibly act so casually in front of a master G.o.d?
Zeus couldn’t help but sigh. “If our Heavenly G.o.ds Council had someone like Li Yunmu, then who could stop us from unifying the Origin World?”
But Li Yunmu had already joined Scandinavian G.o.d Council, and he had even married the valkyrie. Odin was really too cunning. He had probably seen through Li Yunmu’s potential a long time ago.
Zeus’ gaze grew profound. If only they could form an alliance with Li Yunmu… He was naturally what they had been seeking. A half G.o.d who could show such courage and insight in front of all G.o.ds would certainly become a powerhouse in the future. If they could use this opportunity and turn Scandinavia, who would come with the added benefit of Li Yunmu, from enemy to friend, it would be a huge victory for them.
He sighed. Athena was his only daughter, so maybe he could marry her to the half G.o.d? It would be somewhat wrong toward her, but when he thought about how beneficial it would be for the Heavenly G.o.ds Council as a whole, he felt that this idea wasn’t completely worthless!
Thus, Zeus said to Athena, “Daughter, if I asked you to marry this half G.o.d, would you be willing?”
Athena was startled. Her marriage had unexpectedly been turned into a bargaining chip by Zeus?
