73: Chapter 73 The Ultimate Weapon: The Law of Plague

Watching the rune flash and vanish on the center of Guan Hong's forehead, the employees all wore expressions of envy.

"My Lord, will you really not consider me as well?"

Seeing the look of longing on the faces of Jiang Ling and the group of employees, Lin Xiao had a strange expression.

"You are all top students who graduated from Star Academy, is it really necessary to be like this? Being a Slave God is not exactly a good destination."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ling gave a wistful smile.

"Indeed, Star Academy. I still remember the excitement on my parents' faces when I was detected with an S-rank talent. That day, relatives and friends who hadn't been in touch for over a decade all came to visit, their faces full of eager and sincere smiles. They brought resources worth millions of faith points; that was the happiest day I had ever seen my parents smile. Star Academy crossed the endless starry sea to come and pick me up. From the moment I stepped onto the starship, I secretly made up my mind. I must distinguish myself and give my parents a good life! But only when I truly arrived at Star Academy did I realize that people with my level of talent were everywhere…"

Jiang Ling's words caused the employees to also show expressions of reminiscence.

Once upon a time, they were also the proud children of heaven that everyone envied.

Jiang Ling continued.

"It was completely different from what I imagined; everything at Star Academy revolves around divine power points. The academy's monthly 4000 divine power points are simply not enough. To earn divine power points, I've done many jobs. I went to amusement parks to play ghosts, entertained the children of great families, sold Believers with decent talent to be used as punching bags, and served as a test subject. I once thought that hard work would eventually be rewarded. Until the first assessment arrived, and I was assigned to the outer realms to eliminate demons. Heh, eliminate demons? My Lord, do you know that I was only a Divine Being at the time! Later, I learned from some seniors that this was all because I didn't know how to conduct myself and didn't offer tribute to the examiner. A demigod-level senior died in that mission. It was only then that I realized Star Academy is a starship sailing rapidly. You must keep up to deserve to stay on the ship. If you can't keep up, you will be discarded without hesitation on some old path. Compared to those seniors and juniors who were thrown off the ship for various reasons, I am undoubtedly lucky; not only did I graduate successfully, but I also ascended to become a deity. But My Lord… I am not reconciled! I don't even understand why I am not reconciled. What is there to be unreconciled about? But I…"

Jiang Ling's eyes were now tinged with a hint of crimson, and he looked at Lin Xiao with a face full of longing and persistence.

"I implore my Master to give me a chance. For this treatment, I am willing to become the sword in your hand and the armor on your body. I will slaughter all enemies for you, Master! I will block all harm for you, Master! Until the end of my life."

Having said this, Jiang Ling flopped down on his knees. His gaze towards Lin Xiao was filled with longing and heat.

"My Lord says that being a Slave God is not a good destination, but for me, if I don't even have the chance to fight for it in this life, that would be even more pathetic! Now that the Opportunity is before me, even if I have to pay everything, I don't want to miss it! I beg you, My Lord, please give me a chance!"

Silently listening to all this, Lin Xiao looked at Jiang Ling kneeling on the ground, his tone serious.

"If you have truly thought it through, then the compensation is 3000 divine power points per day and one complete Law Divine Artifact. Welcome to the team."

Watching the blood-colored rune rising from Lin Xiao's fingertips, Jiang Ling completely let go of his Divine Kingdom's defenses, suppressed his own divinity, and actively embraced the Slave Mark.

"My Lord, you cannot show favoritism. I am actually quite miserable too."

"Can you be as miserable as me?"

"If we're talking about misery, you have to look at me!"

Seeing the private room suddenly veer off-topic into a misery contest, Lin Xiao quickly pressed his hand down.

"I'll accept, I'll accept all of you. As long as you are willing to come, I will accept you all."

One by one, they branded the Slave Mark, and Lin Xiao did not hesitate. He began to take out Divine Artifacts according to everyone's Laws. The 27 Divine Artifacts he had auctioned just a few days ago were more than half given away in a short while. For the remaining ones that weren't suitable, after Lin Xiao chatted with them, everyone expressed that they could wait for a while.

Meng Ning looked at Pavilion Master Yan Yao, who was caressing a piece of divine ore with a look of obsession on the side, and finally could not bear it any longer.

[Screw the Meng Family, I'm not the legitimate heir anyway. With such good compensation in front of me, this can't be blamed on me.]

When all the branding was completed, the atmosphere in the private room became much more harmonious.

At this moment, the waiter also pushed the door open at the right time, and dishes of Spiritual Cuisine followed behind, hopping in. After hopping onto the dining table, they struck tempting poses, winking and making faces at everyone.

Lin Xiao curiously picked up a chopstick of Black Tortoise. The moment it entered his mouth, abundant Spiritual Qi surged crazily into his Divine Kingdom. In an instant, Spiritual Rain began to fall over thousands of miles within his Divine Kingdom. A large number of A-rank beasts sensed the fluctuations here and swarmed toward this place.

"Come to think of it, what kind of ability is this Law of Fate of yours? It's quite eerie; if you hadn't revealed yourself, none of us would have noticed."

Upon hearing this, Guan Hong hurriedly swallowed the Spiritual Cuisine in his mouth. He smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

"It is just Fate Traction. The reason why the effect is so good is mainly because of you, My Lord… If it were someone else, it would be easily detected. Of course, if the target of the traction is applied to oneself, then even if the target is right in front of you, it is very difficult to be detected."

"Fate Traction, huh. Sounds quite interesting. Can this ability be used on others? Hmm. I mean, can it be applied to others from the very beginning? For example, I want a great killing weapon capable of dealing with high-rank deities. Can you help me pull one here?"

As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned. Jiang Ling was the first to speak.

"Does My Lord have a Second-order Deity as an enemy? If so, with our current strength, if we plan it well, it's not impossible to eliminate the opponent."

Lin Xiao smiled and took a sip of wine. After a transparent jelly-like object inside was swallowed, another small burst of Spiritual Rain fell within his Divine Kingdom.

"I don't have any enemies for the time being, but the Divine Domain is like this. Even if we don't provoke others, there will be people who provoke us for various reasons. I'm just afraid that some shameless Third-order Deity might have a mental lapse and suddenly come to attack us. This is just a precaution."

Meng Ning thought of some wild deities who revealed their wealth and were targeted by his own Family, then secretly eliminated. He nodded with deep feeling.

"My Lord is far-sighted. If some Third-order Deities knew about the Divine Artifacts in our hands, we might really be plotted against. It is indeed necessary to get some trump cards for self-protection."

Recalling the two Life Law Divine Artifacts that Lin Xiao had taken out before, Meng Ning's expression became a bit strange.

"Speaking of trump cards, I actually remember one thing. Ten years ago, the Shen Family, who sold Spirit Beasts, had an illegitimate son with good Opportunity. At only thirty, he was already a Second-order Deity. Later, for some reason, he offended a Third-order Deity who practiced the Plague Law. He had a plague planted within his Divine Kingdom. Overnight, a rising star became a cripple. Besides being able to move his head, his whole body was paralyzed and he couldn't even stand up. And that plague still pervades his Divine Kingdom to this day. I heard that a Third-order Deity once tried to intervene, but instead of removing the plague, he suffered a huge loss himself."

Pavilion Master Yan Yao's face showed great apprehension upon hearing this.

"Little Ningzi, have you lost your mind? If My Lord's Divine Kingdom were to be accidentally infected with a plague that even a Third-order Deity cannot escape…"
