Divine King of Honour-Chapter 536: Death God Domain (Additional Release 12)

With the departure of the Black Robed Emperor,

Luotian Square once again regained its tranquility.

The Five Great Pharaohs led the Golden Armor Soldiers and Silver-armored Warriors to clean up the aftermath.

Meanwhile, the Luotian Pope escorted Xu Nian and Hua Gesang into the Luotian Temple.

Without a doubt, Hua Gesang was selected as the new Luotian Sect Holy Daughter.

Hua Gesang also took the Luotian Pope as her master.

Although everything had gone as she wished, Hua Gesang couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.

And naturally, the root of this loss stemmed from Xu Nian.

However, she also knew the disparity between herself and Xu Nian.

She had no choice but to bury the budding feelings in her heart's deepest recesses, permanently.

To Xu Nian, Hua Gesang was nothing more than a sister; he harbored no other feelings towards her.

All the previous interactions had been nothing but jest.

Thus, this outcome was the best for both Xu Nian and Hua Gesang.

After the apprenticeship ceremony was over, Hua Gesang stepped down.

The Holy Daughter ceremony could only be postponed.

With Hua Gesang's departure, only the Luotian Pope and Xu Nian remained inside the temple.

Xu Nian looked at the Luotian Pope.

The Luotian Pope also stared at Xu Nian.

The two stood in a standoff.

This deadlock lasted for a full 15 minutes.

Finally, Xu Nian couldn't help but ask helplessly, "Sister Pope, staring at me like that, you wouldn't be harboring any ideas about me, would you?"

"Hmph, you're not old, but you sure have a slick tongue. Aren't you afraid that I might kill you in a fit of rage? You should know I have the Great Brightness Stone in my possession, which can completely conceal destiny," the Pope said with a cold snort.

Her icy demeanor carried an extremely alluring chill.

Xu Nian, hearing this, couldn't help but laugh.

Although the Pope spoke such words, Xu Nian couldn't sense a trace of killing intent from her.

"Would you bear to do it?" Xu Nian teased with an amused smile.

"You…" The Pope suddenly became furious, glaring fiercely at Xu Nian.

It had been ten years. Ever since she became the Pope, no one had ever dared to speak to her like this.

Those who dared to tease her had all met terrible ends.

"Alright, I'll stop teasing you. Can you lend me the Great Brightness Stone now?" Xu Nian waved his hand, addressing the Pope.

His teasing of the Pope had been purely in jest,

Simply to prevent their relationship from becoming too strained.

He had no real intentions towards the Pope.

The Great Brightness Stone was his true objective.

"What do you need the Great Brightness Stone for?" The Luotian Pope asked, puzzled.

"I need to venture into the Death God Domain. It's said that only with the Great Brightness Stone can one enter, so I'm asking to borrow it. Once I return from the Death God Domain, I'll give it back to you," Xu Nian replied straightforwardly, without hiding anything.

He knew that if he didn't tell the truth, the Luotian Pope would never entrust the Great Brightness Stone to him.

"Then it is impossible for me to lend you the Great Brightness Stone. You might as well give up on that idea," the Luotian Pope refused outright.

"Why have you refused so readily when we made a promise earlier? Don't you want to keep it?" Xu Nian asked with furrowed brows, clearly not expecting the Luotian Pope to outright refuse.

"If you had a different use for the Great Brightness Stone, I might consider lending it to you, but you want to go to the Death God Domain; even if it means breaking my promise and being dishonorable, I absolutely will not lend it to you," the Luotian Pope said decisively.

Xu Nian was taken aback.

He hadn't expected the Luotian Pope to say such a thing.

"What's wrong with the Death God Domain?" Xu Nian asked, puzzled.

The Luotian Pope let out a cold laugh and said, "You don't even know what kind of place the Death God Domain is, yet you're thinking of venturing into it. Since it's called the Death God Domain, it's naturally a place of doom. Countless people have tried to enter the Death God Domain and not a single one has come out alive, including many powerful warriors of Battle Emperor Level. If I lent you the Great Brightness Stone and you died inside, wouldn't I become a sinner of the Luotian Sect?"

Xu Nian frowned.

He transmitted a message to Wentian Demon Sovereign, "Lord Demon Venerate, is the Death God Domain really that dangerous?"

"The Death God Domain is indeed perilous. Most who enter are doomed, but since I'm sending you there, I won't let you die inside. I'm thirty percent confident I can bring you out alive," replied Wentian Demon Sovereign.

"Only thirty percent?" Xu Nian was speechless.

Even the heavenly might of the Wentian Demon Sovereign was only thirty percent reliable; that seemed awfully low.

"Kid, thirty percent is not bad. As the Pope just said, those who enter don't return. Besides, fortune favors the bold. If you are scared, you don't have to go," the voice of the Wentian Demon Sovereign echoed once again in Xu Nian's mind.

Xu Nian felt helpless inside.

But his gaze quickly turned resolute.

The saying was completely right, fortune favors the bold.

To expect great gains without the courage to take risks was utterly impossible.

So, he had decided—he would go to the Death God Domain.

"How about it, have you given up?" inquired the Luotian Pope.

"No, I still intend to go to the Death God Domain, and I must obtain the Great Brightness Stone," Xu Nian said firmly, his gaze on the Luotian Pope unwavering.

"You..." the Luotian Pope fumed with anger.

Despite her clear opposition, Xu Nian still refused to back down.

"Do you really intend to go to the Death God Domain? You must realize that survival there is almost impossible," the Luotian Pope asked deeply, taking a breath as she looked at Xu Nian.

"I must go!" Xu Nian replied once again, decisively.

"Very well, I will go with you," the Luotian Pope announced, as if having made a significant decision.

"Go with me?" This time it was Xu Nian's turn to be stunned.

The Luotian Pope was actually suggesting to accompany him.

Hadn't she said that the Death God Domain was a one-way trip?

Seeming to perceive Xu Nian's confusion, the Luotian Pope explained, "With your power alone, the Great Brightness Stone won't even reach one-tenth of its potential. In my hands, it can unleash thirty percent of its power. Although I don't know why you need the Great Brightness Stone, I assume it is to utilize its power."

"Yes, but surely you wouldn't risk going to the Death God Domain just for that, would you?" Xu Nian continued, still perplexed.

Hearing Xu Nian's words, the Luotian Pope raised her eyes to one side of the grand hall.

There hung a portrait.

The woman in the painting was also dressed in Pope's attire and was extremely beautiful.

"My Master went to the Death God Domain eighteen years ago and has not returned. I want to go and see if she is still alive, and even if she has passed away, I want to bring back her remains," the Luotian Pope murmured.

Xu Nian wore a look of realization upon hearing this.

So the Luotian Pope was concerned about the previous generation's Pope.

No wonder the Luotian Pope was so averse to the Death God Domain initially; it was likely because of her Master.

However, having the Luotian Pope join him would increase Xu Nian's chances by a considerable margin.
