255: Chapter 255 God-brand Pancake
Divine Will glanced at Nie Ning. "You should feel honored that a god is joking with you."
Nie Ning rolled his eyes. Honored my ass!
"Let's talk about something realistic, or you'll have to find someone else."
Even if he were strong enough, Lilith and Norma were there. How could he possibly risk being hated by the two of them to do such a thing?
He would end up pleasing no one, which wouldn't be good for anyone.
"You'd better think it through. There aren't many things that interest wizards. Besides your status as an outsider, you have something else on you that wizards will definitely be very interested in."
Divine Will said indifferently.
"What is it?" Nie Ning asked with a frown.
The most valuable thing he had on him now was the weapon in his hand. Could it be that?
Divine Will didn't answer. "It wouldn't be fun if I told you. My time is limited. Make your choice."
"Then go tell someone else. Anyway, that task of yours is a suicide mission. Dying sooner or later is all the same."
Nie Ning just threw caution to the wind, looking completely indifferent.
The other party clearly didn't have good intentions. In fact, once he agreed to the deal, it would inevitably become leverage for them to threaten him in the future.
Could he really expect a god like this to keep their word?
No—and the fact that they could find him clearly wasn't just because of his identity.
"Fine, you're just worried about those two girls. Then we'll change the target. It's all the same anyway. This should be easier for you."
Divine Will sighed softly, seemingly making a compromise.
Hearing this, the corner of Nie Ning's mouth twitched slightly.
To him, anything related to gods carried an extremely high risk.
"Then let's hear it. Don't give me any suicide missions. I'm not in the habit of working for others at the cost of my life."
Nie Ning curled his lip and said.
"You certainly have a lot of demands. Since you're not a church believer, stealing a god's things is indeed a bit difficult."
"Beast King Alliance, Biluo Cliff, Incineration City Temple, Life and Death Path, and Blood Hand Alliance. These are wizard factions. You can pick one of them when you go to Belvis World."
Divine Will listed five places in one breath, leaving Nie Ning stunned.
Nie Ning didn't know how strong these five factions were, but one thing was for sure—this Nales must be a god of thieves...
"I'll confirm where to go later, but what exactly do you want me to steal?"
Nie Ning asked curiously.
If it were just one or two, perhaps these people had offended the God of Nalais, but six factions had appeared at once, and that wasn't even counting any Nales hadn't mentioned.
These factions included both gods and wizards, which made the whole thing feel rather bizarre.
"It's a fragment of a divine artifact."
For the first time, Divine Will's voice changed, its tone carrying a hint of solemnity.
Nie Ning didn't care about any divine artifact; he only cared if this was going to be another chain quest...
"I feel like you're very unreliable. You don't want me to help you collect all the divine artifact fragments, do you? If so, I can't do this deal."
As Nie Ning spoke, his eyes suddenly flickered. "How about you promote me to the ninth rank first? Then I might give it a try."
"Heh."
Divine Will gave a mocking laugh.
"I can certainly promote you to the ninth rank, but you should think carefully. Forcibly increasing your strength will consume your potential. You likely won't have the chance to step into a higher realm in the future."
It had originally intended to scare Nie Ning, but it had clearly underestimated Nie Ning's obsession with getting something for nothing.
Hearing this, Nie Ning raised an eyebrow and thought for a moment. "Doesn't matter. Just do it. We'll worry about the future later. First, give me ten tons of heavenly treasures to try out."
"Ahem—"
Faced with Nie Ning's shamelessness, Divine Will coughed awkwardly.
It did indeed have that ability, but if it did that, why wouldn't it just let its own believers do it?
"Once you are tainted with too much divine aura, you will inevitably be suppressed by Belvis World, and it will also alert other factions."
"Besides, you don't need to collect all the divine artifact fragments. I will find other ways for the rest. Once it's done, you will naturally receive the appropriate reward."
Nie Ning rolled his eyes.
Did it really think he was the type to believe whatever someone said?
"You mean you want to get something for nothing and not give me anything substantial?"
"Besides, you said others could discover my origin. You expect me to just waltz in and steal things like this?"
Divine Will shook its head slightly, and with a wave of its hand, a green light slowly landed in front of Nie Ning. "This thing can change your aura. Consider it one of your rewards."
Hearing this, Nie Ning was skeptical as he used his own magic to catch the green speck of light.
As the light dissipated, what appeared before Nie Ning was something like a leaf.
And it looked like it had been chewed by a dog, being only a tenth the size of a normal leaf.
Aside from revealing a slight aura of life, calling it trash would be a compliment; this kind of thing was everywhere.
"You didn't take the wrong thing, did you?"
Nie Ning blinked and looked at Divine Will.
"Don't look down on this. This is a leaf from the Belvis Life Tree, also known as the World Tree."
"The life force stored within is enough to extend a normal person's life by two hundred years, and it can heal almost any fatal wound. Carrying it will prevent those wizards from noticing any issues."
Divine Will said slowly.
Hearing this, Nie Ning couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Although he still didn't know what it was, who hadn't read a novel? The World Tree was naturally one of the top-tier divine items.
But then Nie Ning's face showed a look of disgust. "You could at least cut a branch for me. Who is this tiny bit enough for?"
Divine Will looked at Nie Ning with disdain. "If I had that kind of ability, would I still need you?"
The Belvis Life Tree was guarded by a group of old fogey wizards. It had only managed to snatch this by going with others.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have brought back a single hair and might have even been left there.
Nie Ning curled his lip.
Listen to that—not ashamed, but proud?
He could tell now; this damn god was completely unreliable!
A trash god who only dared to do petty thievery!
"This is just an advance reward. I'll have other things for you once the transaction is complete."
"If you perform well and bring back more fragments, it's not impossible to help you become a god."
Divine Will spoke again.
"Then I really have to thank you."
Nie Ning retorted sarcastically.
A god is still a god; they're just so damn good at making empty promises!
"I'm out of time. I hope you perform well. I will be watching you."
After Divine Will finished speaking, Redman's body suddenly exploded into a mist of blood.
