Chapter 380: Goddess of Life, Negotiation
“Yes, my liege!” Hearing Li Cheng’s words, Lillian gladly accepted the order.
Not long after, a terrifying explosion sounded. The ground below the Floating Island was once again engulfed by countless terrifying energies.
Previously, Li Cheng had stopped the Floating Island above the Hammer Fall Kingdom. This kingdom could be considered as the lair of the Blade Hunters. How could Li Cheng be merciful toward his enemies? He would just use the physical evaporation of the cannon to finish the job.
The terrifying cannon lasted for less than three minutes before it ended. The reason was that a petite figure with a flawless white body suddenly appeared in front of Li Cheng. It was the Goddess of Life!
Li Cheng also yawned in boredom. The Goddess of Life in front of him was only an incarnation. If this was the real body of the Goddess of Life, Li Cheng would have wanted to kill her with a round of cannon fire.
“What’s the matter, Your Highness?” Li Cheng asked.
The Goddess of Life was so angry at Li Cheng’s indifference that her face swelled up. She said angrily, “Do you know that this is a massacre?”
“So?” Li Cheng nodded and said indifferently.
“...” The Goddess of Life was speechless. For a moment, she stood rooted to the ground and did not know what to say. She did not expect Li Cheng to be so nonchalant.
One had to know that the word ‘massacre’ was still very important. If it was in the past, anyone who committed a massacre would be endlessly targeted by the kind camp, making it impossible for them to survive in the Lost Continent.
However, Li Cheng would not indulge them. Those who were hostile to him would be killed. The Lost Continent had never lacked bodies, so Li Cheng openly admitted that this was a massacre. He knew she could not do anything to him.
The Goddess of Life’s small face flushed red. Her mind was frantically trying to think of a way to deal with this scoundrel, Li Cheng. However, after holding back for more than ten seconds, she finally said, “This isn’t right!”
“...”
When he heard this, Li Cheng almost laughed out loud. He had thought that the Goddess of Life would say something, but he did not expect that it would only be a painless answer.
It seemed that the Goddess of Life’s heart was still very pure. She had lived for tens of thousands of years, yet she did not know how to scold people.
Since the Goddess of Life was like this, Li Cheng was too embarrassed to scold her. He asked, “Goddess, I have a question to ask you. Why didn’t you stop the tiger from catching the rabbit?”
The Goddess of Life was a little speechless. What kind of questions were these? “This is natural selection, the law of nature. Why should I stop it?”
But Li Cheng’s next answer was…but it made the Goddess of Life dumbfounded. “If the Goddess knows, then why did you put a slaughtering hat on me? Am I not part of natural selection? Aren’t you being a bit too biased?”
The Goddess of Life was so angry that her chest rose and fell. She said angrily, “Are you an animal?”
But Li Cheng did not take it seriously, he laughed and replied, “Whether it is an animal, a human, or even a God, they are just fighting for resources. If they are weak, they have to be beaten, or they have to be slaughtered. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be unfair for me to spend so much effort to become stronger? What do you think, the great Goddess of Life?”
“...” The Goddess of Life was so angry that she could not speak. Her originally angry little face seemed to be swollen. She also knew that what Li Cheng was saying now was all nonsense.
However, she had lived for so many years and could not think of any dirty words to refute him. She could only sulk there alone.
As for attacking Li Cheng, the Goddess of Life had never thought of it. Now, the entire universe knew that Li Cheng was not someone that one or two Gods could provoke. That was why she came down to reason with him, but who knew that she could not reason with him at all.
Seeing the appearance of the Goddess of Life, Li Cheng also sighed. He thought that the Goddess of Life stopped him because she was just cherishing her divine power. After all, the divine power of the Goddess of Life was directly related to the creatures on the Lost Continent, now, it seemed that the truth was not like this. The Goddess of Life was just a simple holy mother.
With her mindset, she was just an immature little girl. Fortunately, the Goddess of Life and Li Cheng talked so much. She was just looking for trouble.
Therefore, the two looked at each other. The Goddess of Life knew that she could not win against Li Cheng, so she might as well hold him back. Whether the people under her could escape or not would depend on their luck.
Li Cheng did not have many thoughts. They were either his enemies or his slaves. His fingers lightly tapped on the handrail and said, “Goddess, let me give you some face.”
Upon hearing this, the Goddess of Life’s expression turned joyful. It seemed that her insistence had made Li Cheng’s heart soften. However, she still asked, “What conditions?”
Li Cheng did not hesitate, he directly said, “All those who have participated in or helped the Blade Hunter, I now give them two choices. One is to directly turn into powder under my firepower, and the other is that as long as they become a vassal of the Kingdom of Kent and hand over 30% of their resources every year, and then send their heirs as hostages, I can spare their lives. What do you think?”
“...”
Hearing Li Cheng’s words, the Goddess of Life’s face darkened. Li Cheng’s conditions were too harsh. Even if she did not ask about things on the Lost Continent…she knew that this condition would cost the king’s life. Li Cheng was directly hindering the development of these kingdoms. Did he want to be the king of the Lost Continent?
The Goddess of Life gritted her teeth and said, “What heir as a hostage? You might as well take the most beautiful princess of their kingdom as a hostage!”
Li Cheng shrugged and said indifferently, “It’s not impossible...”
“Ahem…” Ella, who had been watching the show from the side, coughed a few times and gave Li Cheng a death stare. Her eyes were full of threats.
Li Cheng knew that he had said something wrong, so he coughed a few times and directly pulled Ella into his arms. Ella did not reject Li Cheng’s action, but her gaze was still wary.
Ella looked at Li Cheng and said softly, “You seem to like princesses very much?”
Hearing this, Li Cheng rolled his eyes. However, on second thought, among his women, there seemed to be more princesses. However, they were all princesses, and he was not some princess freak.
Thinking of this, Li Cheng looked at the Goddess of Life again, he said, “The conditions have been set. Goddess, this is my last condition. If they can’t do it, then I can only choose the first one. You can’t protect them either.”
The Goddess of Life’s little face was uncertain. Finally, she said, “Okay.”
