CHAPTER 451: ETHAN’S FOOLPROOF PLAN (1)

After a week,

During this one week, other than spending three hours on the Emerald Lightning Life Grass and another three hours on other things, Ethan spent most of his time working on his plan to win the official duel.

Finally, after a week, Ethan was fully confident in his plan and decided to execute it.

"Green Corpse Emperor, can you hear me?"

Taking a deep breath, Ethan placed his hands on the Ancient Heartwood Tree’s trunk and directly communicated with the Green Corpse Emperor.

That’s right!

As the owner of the Life Region, Ethan could communicate with the Green Corpse Emperor, who was the owner of the Death Region.

The Ancient Heartwood Tree and the Ancient Corpseheart Tree act like a communication device between the two owners since they are the origin beings of the Realm of Life and Death.

"Haha... I was waiting for you to communicate with me."

To his surprise, the Green Corpse Emperor chuckled as though he was expecting Ethan to call him.

"I... I want..."

Following his plan, Ethan spoke in a stuttering voice that was filled with hesitation and anxiety.

He wanted to make the Green Corpse Emperor believe that he was scared and worried about their upcoming official duel.

"If my guess is correct, you want me to extend the duration of our Official Duel, right?"

Before Ethan could finish his words, the Green Corpse Emperor spoke exactly what Ethan wanted to say.

’What the... how does he know that? Don’t tell me he has the ability to read my mind?’

For a moment, Ethan thought his plan had failed even before he could start it.

The date of the official duel between Ethan and the Green Corpse Emperor was not exactly fixed.

Actually, the owner of one region could only issue the challenge, and if the owner of the other region declined, he had to wait another year before issuing another challenge for the duel.

The second time, the owner of the other region couldn’t decline it, and the official duel would take place no matter what.

So, if no one issues the challenge, there won’t be any duel, but Ethan knew the Green Corpse Emperor would definitely issue the challenge in six months.

The first step of Ethan’s plan was to request the Green Corpse Emperor to stop issuing the challenge for an Official Duel and extend it for a few years.

’No... there is no way he could read my mind.’

Of course, the reason behind his confidence was the Godly Revival System, which would definitely inform him regarding such bad news.

’Let’s just go with the plan.’

Shaking off his thoughts, Ethan replied to the Green Corpse Emperor, "Yes, can you issue the challenge after two years?"

"And why should I do that? I want to end our fight and conquer more realms for my Supreme Master, Necrothis."

The Green Corpse Emperor scoffed as he instantly rejected Ethan’s request without any hesitation.

"Of course, I am not asking for a free favour. If you can postpone our Official Duel for two years, then... I will give you an item that contains the God Essence."

From the Green Corpse Emperor’s previous words, Ethan got a rough understanding of God Essence, which is considered the most powerful energy in all realms.

And from those words, he also understood that his High-level Godly Lifespan Card contained that so-called powerful God Essence.

Later on, when the Green Corpse Emperor was using the Godly Item: Orb of World Reflection, he seemed to be bragging that this item contained more God Essence than his Godly Lifespan Card.

Therefore, Ethan was confident that his plan would definitely work.

"What did you say? You will give me an item that contains the God Essence?"

The Green Corpse Emperor was expecting Ethan to negotiate with him regarding the postponement of their Official Duel; however, he didn’t expect that Ethan would have another item that contained God Essence.

Ethan might not know exactly how valuable the God Essence was, but the Green Corpse Emperor knew it.

It was also because of that God Essence that the Undead God Necrothis gave him the Orb of World Reflection so that he could capture Ethan.

"You heard it. As long as you promise me that you won’t issue a challenge for the official duel for two years, I will directly give you that item."

Sensing the Green Corpse Emperor’s reaction, Ethan heaved a sigh of relief as he explained the terms of their deal.

"One year... I can only postpone our official challenge for one year. Beyond that, my Sponsored God won’t like it."

The Green Corpse Emperor became excited, but he didn’t agree to Ethan’s terms directly; instead, he reduced the time period to one year.

"T-this... one year and six months. Only then..."

"As I told you, I can only convince my Supreme Master regarding the extension of one year. Beyond that, just forget about our deal."

Before Ethan could finish his line, the Green Corpse Emperor interrupted and said that one year was the maximum he could wait.

"...."

Ethan remained silent for a moment and gritted his teeth before agreeing to the Green Corpse Emperor’s words.

"Good."

The Green Corpse Emperor chuckled and muttered in his head,

’Actually, my Supreme Master has no time restrictions when it comes to generous missions like this. However, it’s just that I want to complete the mission as soon as possible.’

’Wait a second... do I actually need to postpone my official duel? Forget it, if he makes me swear on my Supreme Master, I have to keep my word.’

He thought he could use some of his cheap tricks to not keep his end of the deal; however, he was worried that if he got caught, the human might go back on the deal, and he would miss the Godly Item.

’Once I capture him, all his items belong to me. At that time, the Supreme Master will know about all those items.’

’However, if my Supreme Master doesn’t know about it, I can use it for myself.’

Although he was an apostle to the Undead God Necrothis, the Green Corpse Emperor wanted to use that Godly Item for himself.

The reason was simple... his Sponsored God was extremely stingy when it came to gifting Godly Items, and only after he conquered dozens of realms did he receive the Crown of Resurrection from his Sponsored God.

So, the Green Corpse Emperor planned to get that Godly Item from Ethan and keep it for himself.

"Shall we exchange?"

As the Green Corpse Emperor got lost in his thoughts, Ethan asked.

"Sure. Give me the Godly Item and I will keep my word."

The Green Corpse Emperor didn’t mention swearing an oath on their Sponsored God, hoping that the human would forget about it.

"Heh... you think you can fool me? My Sponsored God warned me that when I exchange things with others, I have to make sure they swear an oath on the Heavens."

Ethan didn’t give the item; instead, he asked the Green Corpse Emperor to swear an oath under the Heavens.

"T-this..."

Hearing Ethan’s initial words, the Green Corpse Emperor was a bit disappointed that the human was not an idiot; however, when he heard Ethan’s full words, he became excited and concluded,

’As expected of a greenhorn. He is yet to learn so many things... hehe.’
