Chapter 2464 - 2464 The Abyssal World’s Secret!

2464 The Abyssal World’s Secret!

Although Shadow’s heart was still racing, it still summoned its courage to carry out Lin Yuan’s instruction to communicate with these two abyss demons.

Lin Yuan did not have much to say to these two abyss demons. He just wanted to ask if they knew about the Endless Gems.

If they were given the opportunity to prepare, they would be able to hide their emotions. But if Lin Yuan did not give them any time to prepare and immediately posed the question, the abyss demons would be so startled that Lin Yuan would be able to catch the changes in their expression even if they refused to admit the truth.

Shadow’s question stunned the two abyss demons, and astonishment and confusion bloomed on their faces. It was as though they were curious about how this person knew that they possessed the Endless Gems.

Eternal Source saw the two abyss demons’ pupils trembling fearfully. It was clear they were trying to come up with a strategy.

Eternal Source coughed loudly and clasped his hands in front of him to tighten his energy around the two abyss demons.

The two abyss demons could feel their bodies being crushed. This was what dying felt like.

When they looked into Eternal Source’s chilling eyes, the two abyss demons knew that their opponent would kill them without hesitation if their answer was deemed to be unsatisfactory.

They had embedded the gems on their abdomens. Once they were killed, it would be easy for their opponent to discover the gems. They could not hide them even if they wanted to!

The wise ones were those who comprehended the circumstances, especially when facing lifeforms that they stood no chance of defeating.

No lifeform with an extended lifespan was willing to give up their life.

The two demons were unable to move and spoke in the abyssal language to verbally describe the location of the Endless Gems to Shadow, who reported what it had heard to Lin Yuan.

Eternal Source’s energy trapped the two demons, and they were completely incapable of escaping. Shadow could not pass through Eternal Source’s energy to search the two demons’ abdomens.

Eternal Source transformed his energy into a chain and penetrated the two demons’ armor. Amidst howls of pain, the Endless Gems embedded into the two demons’ abdomens were dug out and wiped clean before being placed in Lin Yuan’s hands.

Lin Yuan placed the two Endless Gems in the Spirit Lock spatial zone so they could be fused with Morbius.

It was clear that the Endless Gems had been very important to the two demons. Now that they had lost their Endless Gems, their expressions had fully deflated.

After a while, one of the demons asked Shadow, “How did you get in? Has the seal been broken?”

Shadow did not reply and looked at Lin Yuan instead.

Firstly, Shadow did not know what had happened outside.

Although Shadow was from the abyssal world, it could only supply Lin Yuan with information about the abyssal world but was unable to accompany Lin Yuan in his conquest.

Even if Shadow did know, it would never reveal important information to the two demons without Lin Yuan’s permission.

Lin Yuan understood what the two demons had said and replied in the language of the abyssal world, “We broke the seal. If you’re willing to become loyal to me, not only will I spare your lives, but I will also give you the chance to leave the first level of the abyssal world, or even the abyssal world itself. If you’re unwilling, you can just stay here and deal with the consequences!”

Lin Yuan was clearly trying to tempt them.

Unlike the Abyss Wombs, the two abyss demons were clearly highly intelligent.

It was torturous for highly intelligent lifeforms to be imprisoned. Furthermore, they had already been imprisoned for an unknown amount of time.

Lin Yuan was not going to attack these two demons.

Once he combined the two Endless Gems into the treasure, he would be able to control all the lifeforms in the abyssal world.

Thus, the two demons with pinnacle Samsara Realm power started to form thoughts of going against their nature and becoming Lin Yuan’s subordinates. Rather than being stuck at pinnacle Samsara Realm, they would have the chance to advance toward the Afterlife Realm.

However, Lin Yuan’s words were both a source of temptation and a threat to the two demons.

When he mentioned the part about them dealing with the consequences, the two demons felt as though Lin Yuan saw them as trash that could be eliminated with ease at any time.

If they stayed in the first level of the abyssal world, they would have to continue to watch over the Abyss Wombs and continue to have no freedom.

It would not be considered a bad result if they could trade for the opportunity to see the outside world by becoming loyal to this lifeform.

The demons looked at each other before asking Lin Yuan, “How do we become loyal to you? We can promise our loyalty, but how can you trust us?”

The two demons saw loyalty as a two-way process. The figure they became loyal to also needed to trust them. If one side failed, loyalty would not form.

The two of them were on the weaker side, and the other side did not have to be afraid of them retracting their loyalty. Rather, it was they who had to be afraid that the other side could not be trusted. Without trust, they were vulnerable.

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow. He liked the way that the two demons thought.

“You don’t need to worry about how you can demonstrate your loyalty. I will take your loyalty. When I do, it goes without saying that I will give you trust in return. How many Abyss Mothers are there on the first level? How did the seal between the first level and second level come to be?”

Lin Yuan had asked the question to which he most wanted to know the answer.

From the conversations that he had with Eternal Source while they were traveling, Lin Yuan learned that the strength of the seal did not diminish with the passing of time.

Clearly, the seal between the first and second levels of the abyssal world exceeded that of the Samsara Realm. It also had to hold up against the intermittent attacks from the Demon Matrices. Thus, it had to have been created by an expert that had reached the Afterlife Realm.

Were there experts of the Afterlife Realm in the abyssal world?

Lin Yuan needed to find out the answer from these two abyss demons.

The two abyss demons did not know how Lin Yuan intended to collect their loyalties, but they knew he had no reason to lie to them. They were now his prisoners, and he could decide if they lived or died.

As for the questions he had asked them, there was no reason for them to hide anything from him now that they had decided to become loyal to him.

Eternal Source had addressed this lifeform as ‘Lord Lin Yuan’, so the two abyss demons followed suit and said, “Lord Lin Yuan, there are only ten of the Abyss Wombs in the abyssal world. Three of them are behind us. We have beaten the Abyss Wombs many times over the years, and they have always timidly listened to our orders.”
