Capítulo 1776: Chapter 24: The Reason Not to Kill

Under the explanation of the Flower God, Jia Yan rapidly accumulated vast amounts of knowledge about the Divine Spirit Star, the Spirit series, and even many common insights within the Milky Way.

One must know that as a member of the ancient Spirit series, the Flower God has preserved their old traditions, where each Divine Spirit proves their nobility through the accumulation of knowledge. The Flower God was no exception, so through her words, it was as if a door had opened for Jia Yan, a creature almost semi-illiterate, allowing him to absorb a large amount of knowledge and experience.

“So, that’s how it is.”

As they walked, the two experienced a lot.

To know the Flower God’s experience and knowledge reached extremely rich levels, how could it be learned in a short period?

Thus, the two wandered around the land ruled by the Flower God like true ordinary strong ones.

Occasionally, they would encounter scouts from the divine spirits, and if any suspicions arose, Jia Yan would eliminate them immediately. After all, these scouts weren’t very strong, and if it were said they were exterminated by local strong ones, no one would question it.

Days passed by. The Flower God Luo Longsi even encountered her subordinates searching for her once, but she candidly mentioned it and had no intention of contacting them.

“Tomorrow marks the thirtieth day of our journey. Your Flower God territory is indeed beautiful, but we have roughly traversed it. I’ve also learned a great deal from your knowledge.”

Finally, one day, Jia Yan approached the Flower God and spoke to her calmly.

“My Lord, do you think I’ve outlived my usefulness and plan to kill me?” the Flower God asked calmly.

“Hmm, do you think I would kill you?” Jia Yan sneered.

“I don’t know why, but I always have this fear. I don’t know if you, my lord, would kill me?” the Flower God smiled alluringly, not afraid to meet Jia Yan’s gaze.

“You must have a backup plan, right?” Jia Yan slowly approached the Flower God, a hint of mockery in his eyes.

“I guess you figured that out, my lord. Indeed, I have made some arrangements during this time, but compared to your strength, my lord, I’m still not confident. Moreover, you still have your true body.”

The Flower God sighed bitterly.

“But I won’t just sit and wait for death. If my lord really intends to claim my life, I’ll fight to the death,” Luo Longsi said solemnly.

Jia Yan suddenly burst into laughter.

He shook his head.

“You can go. I knew about your backup plan. Actually, when I discovered it half a month ago, I realized I couldn’t kill you. As for my true body, you should know it can’t appear right now.”

“What? Lord Jia Yan, you’re willing to let me go…” The Flower God widened her eyes in disbelief, the large eyes filled with shock and doubt.

Her suspicion was understandable; after spending so much time together, she had a general grasp of this Outsider’s mindset. She knew Jia Yan was not the kind to forgive and forget a month’s worth of ambush just because she had been honest.

So she had suspected that after Jia Yan absorbed her basic knowledge, he would discard her and plan to eradicate her.

What she didn’t expect was that Jia Yan actually said he wouldn’t kill her?

“That’s right, didn’t you hear what I said? I said I won’t kill you, so I won’t kill you. Or do you want me to kill you?”

Jia Yan frowned slightly.

“So, my lord, I-I should go?” Luo Longsi appeared extremely tense.

Seeing Jia Yan wave his hand, she took a step back, but seeing that Jia Yan did not pursue, she continued to retreat.

“However…”

When she had retreated over a hundred meters, Jia Yan’s voice suddenly resounded again, startling the Divine Spirit into almost launching an attack.

Fortunately, she restrained herself, and Jia Yan did not make a move on her but instead seemed to have something to say.

“However, I don’t want the matter of my avatar and true body to get out. Just say you escaped from my hands. I’m sure you’re capable of covering up that lie, aren’t you, skilled storyteller?”

Jia Yan’s voice laughed around the Flower God’s ears, and she solemnly nodded, “Lord Jia Yan, that’s only natural. I don’t want the other Divine Spirits accusing me of treason, so this month’s events, I will treat them as if they never happened.”

“Very well, then go, and don’t worry so much.” Jia Yan, seemingly because she still seemed concerned about him, sighed, appearing somewhat disappointed.

The Flower God’s expression changed slightly, and her retreat quickened. Then, a long rainbow soared into the sky within the city where they last stayed.

“What? What level of strong one is that? For such a strong one to be in our city, they might even be demigod-level. Impressive.”

“It must be at the demigod level; didn’t you see even our city’s demigod strong ones don’t dare to show up? Impressive.”

The residents of the city stared in shock at the rising light, but shortly after, another beam shot up into the heavens and quickly disappeared into the skyline.

The entire city was abuzz with chatter, with some saying that the strongest in their city had such wide connections to have two demigods come to visit.

But what they didn’t know was that when the first surge of power was felt, this demigod-level strong one wanted to react. Yet, in the next moment, he was locked in place by a terrifying brainwave power, making him unable to move at all.

“These, these two guys are at least at the supreme strong ones level within the demigod class. It’s terrifying; why would such strong ones come to my city?”

The shock of this demigod-level strong one was ignored by the Flower God and Jia Yan as they sped away.

“This Flower God, still doesn’t understand.”

After flying a certain distance, Jia Yan’s avatar landed on the ground.

His expression was somewhat peculiar, and the power emanating from his body fluctuated wildly, as if he couldn’t control it.

“Forget it, let’s return to the Adisa; even this avatar is out of control.”

Jia Yan chuckled bitterly.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to annihilate that Flower God. Originally, his plan was to interrogate her and then destroy her. But unexpectedly, in these few days, his avatar’s progress in devouring the Blood of the Starry Sky Ghost has been hindered. Despite devouring with all his might, the link slowly drew power back from this avatar.

If a battle were to happen today, he couldn’t even annihilate the Flower God; his avatar might be destroyed under the Flower God’s hidden strength.

“A misjudgment indeed, but this month’s knowledge greatly broadened my perspective. Compared to annihilating that Flower God, it probably wouldn’t benefit me much. Shouldn’t I try out the so-called ‘divinity’ to see if it works for me?”

“Forget it, next time then. This time is indeed a misjudgment. As long as I’m on this planet, with my true body back in action, won’t I eventually get hold of some divinity from the gods?”

Jia Yan’s avatar swiftly returned to the Adisa in subspace.

Meanwhile, his enormous true body was truly being washed over by endless energy. Under such thorough cleansing, even his avatar’s power was hard to maintain.

However, this was a good thing, so even though Jia Yan gave up on the act of exterminating the Flower God, he had to return to his true body. On one hand, for the avatar’s self-preservation, on the other, it was easier for the power and spirit within the avatar to return to his true body.

On the other side, the Flower God was visibly shocked that Jia Yan hadn’t actually annihilated her.

“Could it be that my judgment of Jia Yan was wrong? He shouldn’t be the type to keep his word.”

The Flower God pondered for a long time but couldn’t come to a conclusion. Naturally, she also considered whether Jia Yan’s true body had some issues. However, judging by Jia Yan’s avatar’s performance as she ambushed him, and their subsequent battles, she understood that the true body’s power was astounding. The likelihood of issues during cultivation was low.

“Looks like I’ve misunderstood him. Well, since I promised not to reveal his early secrets, I won’t say anything. Moreover, he’s been kind to me, so why not return the favor? In the future, there might even be a chance to become allies; it’s not without precedent in history.”

The Flower God’s hesitance caused her to change her view of Jia Yan slightly. Of course, the notion of becoming allies wasn’t her primary thought now, but once this idea was planted, it could certainly explode with future opportunities.

“Hmm… It’s amusing, really. During this month, we even pretended to be husband and wife for a while. Husband, hm? Hehe.”

Recalling some events of the past month, the Flower God displayed a smile.

“Huh? Flower God!”

Just as the Flower God rose to a certain space, an astonished voice suddenly startled her.

A monster with a head resembling a tiger’s, akin to lightning, flew over from the horizon. He looked at the Flower God’s smaller form and examined her injuries, incredulous.

“You’re still alive? Didn’t the Outsider in the last battle annihilate you?”

“Hmph, you’d certainly wish for my death, but I had a backup. That guy didn’t pursue me because he had some hidden ailments, but my injuries were too severe, and I stayed hidden for a while at a certain place before coming out. What’s wrong? Seeing me intact makes you unhappy, thinking you could ambush me.”

The Flower God’s demeanor was cold, nearly ridiculing the Tiger-Headed Monster.

Because she knew, this guy and the Winged Snake certainly didn’t tell the other Divine Spirits about their voluntary retreat that day, and instead claimed they fought valiantly to no avail.

But now that she has emerged, the lie spun by the Tiger-Headed Monster and Winged Snake would be instantly exposed, and they may indeed generate a killing intent.

However, mutual slaughter within the God System is strictly forbidden, and they leave traces of power within each other. If the Tiger-Headed Monster annihilated her, that power would explode, unable to be hidden. Other Divine Spirits would know the Tiger-Headed Monster dared to kill a colleague of the God System, and would surely besiege him.

Hence, the Tiger-Headed Monster dared not!

“No, no, it’s just that you being alive is relief enough. Everyone has been searching for you for a long time.”
