When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village
Chapter 984 - 349: Fusing True Spirit Marrow, Advancing on the Apostle's Path!
There's no such thing (after all, I'm not the God of the Void Realm)?
Leader: Do you think I believe you?
Admit it?
Bai Fu, you truly harbor malicious intents!
Seeing Bai Fu delayed in responding, the Leader laughed: "Looks like I guessed right. In the current situation, sitting on the fence and letting you and the No. 4 Angel Envoy fight until both sides are significantly weakened before I step in to kill both of you would be most beneficial to me. You're not an idiot; you can't possibly not understand this logic, yet you still came to me and voluntarily disclosed your secret. Tell me, what's your true purpose?"
Damn it, I knew persuading the Leader of the Origins Agreement to cooperate against the Apostle Holy City wouldn't be easy, but fortunately, I still have a trick up my sleeve.
Bai Fu pursed her lips.
"Since you see things so clearly, I won't beat around the bush. I came to you because I want your help to deal with Lupus."
"Lupus? Your power should have been enough to handle him, right."
"That was in the past. Now he has become a Void Lord, his power is probably on par with yours!"
"..."
"On my way to the Void Realm, Lupus found me and wanted me to cooperate with him against you. Although we don't see eye to eye, with the Apostle Holy City's invasion imminent, there's no way I'd agree to him, landing myself in a disadvantageous situation of fighting both the Apostle Holy City and the Origins Agreement. But I didn't have a choice. He threatened that if I didn't help him, he'd team up with the Apostle Holy City against me and the three Cosmic Level Civilizations, so I had no choice but to reluctantly agree."
"Oh?"
The Leader narrowed his eyes, pondering whether Bai Fu was lying.
Bai Fu continued to share the story she just made up: "Originally, I planned to contact Lupus after the dimensional explosion action of the three Cosmic Level Civilizations to kill you together with him. However... you appeared, so I temporarily changed my mind. Between Lupus and you, I think you're more trustworthy. Who knows if Lupus, after succeeding, would suddenly turn against me? While with you, at least at this moment, you wouldn't suddenly turn around and kill me."
The Leader nodded.
If what Bai Fu said was true, her reasoning was indeed very logical.
The only problem...
"Do you think I should believe what you say?"
"It wouldn't hurt to try trusting me once."
The Leader stared at Bai Fu, who was smiling merrily.
He wanted to eliminate the Void Realm Envoy, because the Void Realm Envoy was a projection of the Old Relics. Likewise, he also wanted to eliminate the Void Monsters, who were remnants of the Old Relics.
Was this a suitable entry point?
Neither of them spoke, and this situation lasted for dozens of seconds.
Finally, the Leader laughed as well: "Haha, fine. I'll trust you this once. How do you plan to cooperate?"
Bai Fu explained: "I will call Lupus over, and then attack you together with him. At that moment, you have two choices: One is to cooperate with me to counterattack Lupus, the risk here being we may not be able to kill Lupus, after all, he is a Void Lord, and if we fail, we'll be in big trouble next. Although he's newly ascended as a Void Lord, it's hard to say whether he has amassed a substantial force in the Void Dimension; two is to pretend to be killed by Lupus and me, then hide and observe Lupus's every move from the shadows to uncover the real purpose of his killing you and his true strength. The risk here is that you might actually die, or even if you survive, you may gather nothing in the end. Which one do you choose?"
The Leader hardly hesitated: "The second choice."
Bai Fu was surprised: "So confident in your own power?"
The Leader smiled without a word.
Confident in his own power?
Indeed.
But he trusted the Child of Prophecy even more.
When Bai Fu revealed her plan, he remotely consulted the Child of Prophecy.
[How is my future?]
[The stars are still shining]
With just this brief statement, he was determined.
"Then let's collaborate and complete this performance together. While the Apostles, three Cosmic Level Civilizations, and Revolutionary Army showcase their Divine Skills, the Void suddenly intervenes. I'm very curious about their agenda."
"Happy cooperation."
With the Leader's cooperation, Bai Fu was more assured of obtaining True Spirit Marrow from Lupus.
Maybe the Leader wouldn't really act according to her script, and might suddenly break the cooperation agreement to confront her as well.
However, it doesn't matter; she only knows that once she gets the True Spirit Marrow, she can instantly level herself up to 260 and transform into a true Apostle.
By that time, regardless of what Lupus and the Origins Agreement do, she'll have the power to protect herself.
...
Three days later.
Beep beep.
Lupus, nurturing in the Void, felt a vibration deep within his soul and immediately opened his eyes.
The sender was Bai Fu.
His gaze quickly scanned through the message, and in the very next second, he slapped his thigh forcefully.
"An opportunity has come!"
An unusual fluctuation, enveloped in sound, rippled through the Void Dimension, followed by one pair after another of white, hollow eyes opening in the Void Dimension.
...
Twenty minutes flew by, and Lupus descended from the Void.
Before he could even retract the wave-like surging Void Power behind him, Bai Fu took the initiative to approach him.
"You're too slow."
"Has the Leader of the Origins Agreement left already?"
"No, but he's already changed locations a few times; who knows when he'll leave."
Lupus breathed a sigh of relief: "Since he hasn't left yet, let's start taking action."
"Wait." Bai Fu stopped Lupus, "Where is my True Spirit Marrow?"
