423: Xia Simeng, you might as well be a little braver!

“You are…”

Xia Simeng heard the voice and quickly turned around. After the first failed attack, she decided not to launch another offensive.

She turned back and found that the face looked somewhat familiar.

“You are… Song Zhong?”

When Song Zhong became the Lord of National Fortune of Great Xia, his portrait appeared in the minds of all Great Xia people.

Therefore, in Great Xia, Song Zhong could be said to be known by everyone.

Xia Simeng had, of course, seen it, but seeing a portrait and seeing an Immortal Master were still somewhat different.

Song Zhong smiled slightly and said, “Correct.”

Seeing the other party openly admit his identity, Xia Simeng breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this man was once on the Night Watcher’s wanted list, now he is the Lord of National Fortune of Great Xia, a true insider.

But she also had a question in her heart: what did the other party want to do by bringing her from Shangjing?

Xia Simeng sighed with relief and asked solemnly, “May I ask, what exactly do you want to do by transferring me to the Ghost Country?”

“I want to understand some information about Olympus through you.” Song Zhong did not beat around the bush and said directly, “My principle is equivalent exchange, so you can make a request to me.”

Xia Simeng was stunned. She had heard rumors about Song Zhong.

From various deeds, this guy should be a cunning and treacherous character, but the other party has already become the Lord of National Fortune of Great Xia, and seems to have a strange relationship with Great Xia Gods.

But from the feeling of meeting him, this guy seems very… straightforward?

“Any request is fine?” Xia Simeng tried to ask.

Song Zhong shook his head, “That depends on how valuable the information you provide is.”

Sure enough!

“I don’t know much information.” Xia Simeng said, in fact, she had already made a decision, even if Song Zhong didn’t promise anything, she would tell the truth.

“For some unknown reason, Zeus decided to lead the Olympian Gods to attack Great Xia. Athena, one of the twelve Olympian Gods, who is the God’s Proxy I represent, raised an objection.

So, she was imprisoned by Zeus, and at the same time, her connection with me was cut off.

It is precisely because of this reason that I lost my qualification as a God’s Proxy, which also led to the current sharp drop in my Realm.”

Xia Simeng recounted her experience, and suddenly felt as if the stone pressing on her heart had lightened considerably.

Song Zhong nodded, “Since Athena has been imprisoned, there must be a Deity watching her.”

Xia Simeng nodded. Athena was, after all, the Goddess of War, and her combat power was not just a little bit strong.

“Plus the task of guarding Human Realm, it seems that Olympus’s defensive strength is not weak.” Song Zhong muttered to himself.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was attentive.

Xia Simeng’s big eyes immediately widened.

What did Song Zhong mean by this? He was analyzing Olympus’s defensive strength. Was Song Zhong going to… raid their home base?

Thump! Thump!

Xia Simeng’s heart instantly accelerated. Although her Realm had dropped sharply now, her warlike nature made her inexplicably excited.

“Lord Song Zhong, are you going to raid Olympus?” Xia Simeng asked.

“Correct!”

Song Zhong looked Xia Simeng up and down and found that this little girl’s conditions were truly excellent.

Of course, Song Zhong was referring to her Cultivation talent.

Hearing that the other party indeed had this idea, Xia Simeng’s eyes lit up, sweeping away the previous despondency in the ward.

“Lord Song Zhong, didn’t you say you would grant me a condition before? Can you restore my original Cultivation?” Xia Simeng instantly felt hope and asked eagerly.

To her surprise, Song Zhong shook his head, “I’m sorry, the information you provided is too limited, and it’s not equivalent to the request you made.”

Seeing Song Zhong directly refuse her, Xia Simeng instantly deflated like a punctured balloon and squatted on the ground.

In fact, she herself had an expectation in her heart that besides knowing Athena was imprisoned, she knew nothing else.

And now, the Olympian Gods have already begun to attack Great Xia, and the information she provided really couldn’t help much.

Song Zhong walked to the disheartened Xia Simeng and asked, “Although the information you provided cannot support the request to restore your Cultivation, I have a suggestion. Do you want to hear it?”

Hearing that there was still a turn of events, Xia Simeng immediately regained her spirits. At this moment, looking at Song Zhong’s face, she even felt a bit of familiarity.

“I am willing!” Xia Simeng replied firmly.

“Good, I can see your desire for strength.

But merely restoring to the Klein Realm will have little impact on a war of this level.

My suggestion is, you might as well be bolder, Xia Simeng, do you want to become a Deity?”

A loud boom!

A bolt of lightning seemed to strike Xia Simeng’s mind.

Become a Deity?

She had never even dreamed of this. All along, she thought that becoming a God’s Proxy was the highest she could achieve in this life.

Becoming the new human ceiling should be her greatest pursuit.

But now, Song Zhong asked her if she wanted to become a Deity?

Looking at Song Zhong’s deep eyes, Xia Simeng almost stopped thinking.

“I… I…”

After much stuttering, Xia Simeng couldn’t utter a complete sentence.

Song Zhong looked at her with a smile, not urging her, “It’s alright, take your time to think, we still have plenty of time.”

Xia Simeng wanted to calm down, but the excitement in her heart could not be suppressed.

That was becoming a Deity! How many Night Watcher Seniors yearned for such a thing but couldn’t achieve it?

But the information she provided clearly couldn’t even restore her Realm, so how could she become a Deity?

Xia Simeng’s mind was not dull; more often than not, she simply entrusted the task of thinking to Kong Shang.

Understanding this, Xia Simeng calmed down. She asked, “Lord Song Zhong, was it your doing that Shen Qingzhu was able to become a Deity?”

Song Zhong nodded.

“Then what price do I need to pay?” Xia Simeng asked calmly.

She knew very well that since the information she provided was insufficient, she would need to continue to contribute.

“I really underestimated you, I didn’t expect you to be so smart.” Song Zhong looked at Xia Simeng with some admiration and said, “This process is risky, and I am just experimenting, but coincidentally, the previous two experimental subjects succeeded.

So the price is that you yourself must accept the consequences of failure.”

Xia Simeng looked at Song Zhong in surprise, and then understood in her heart.

Becoming a Deity is no small matter; it will inevitably come with great Karma. Therefore, even helping someone become a Deity cannot be forced.

“Moreover, after becoming a Deity, you will be subject to my restrictions. Think it through carefully before giving me your answer.” After speaking, Song Zhong stood up, preparing to leave.

“Wait!” Xia Simeng suddenly called out to Song Zhong, “Lord Song Zhong, I am willing!”
