Ye Ling felt much more at ease after learning that Shan was behind the Burial God Tomb.
After finishing his accusations, the God King regained his composure and continued, "Kid, I've answered everything you wanted to know and suspected. What are your remaining two wishes? Speak quickly and don't disturb my clan's slumber any further."
Hearing the God King's words, Ye Ling nodded subconsciously, then felt something was amiss.
"Something's not right..."
The God King: "What's not right? Kid, don't be so suspicious! Since you've made a wish, we Void Gods will never lie to you. Do you think our Ascending God Tokens are fake?"
Ye Ling looked at the God King, "You didn't lie to me, but can you say you didn't deliberately conceal something just now?"
The God King's expression changed slightly, "This..."
Ye Ling: "Answer me, did you deliberately hide something?"
"..."
The God King remained silent for a moment before gritting his teeth and replying, "Yes."
Ye Ling: "What did you hide?"
Seeing Ye Ling's persistent questioning, the God King sighed heavily and replied, "I'm truly impressed. I didn't expect you to be so perceptive. It's impossible to hide anything from you. Indeed... Shan also asked us to give you something."
As he spoke, the God King immediately produced a semi-transparent heart without waiting for Ye Ling to ask further, "This is our Void God Heart. With this, you can obtain all the abilities of our Void God clan."
Saying that, the God King presented the Void God Heart to Ye Ling, "As our Void God clan declined, this is the only Void God Heart left in the entire Void, incredibly precious."
"Once you absorb the Void God Heart, you will become a Void God. And because you are the only one of our clan still alive, all the blessings the Void bestows upon our clan will be upon you."
Ye Ling examined the Void God Heart and asked the God King, "What abilities does your Void God clan possess?"
"Many."
The God King's confidence grew significantly when mentioning the abilities of the Void God clan. He said to Ye Ling, "Let me tell you a few special ones... Each member of our Void God clan has a chance every day to distribute damage that threatens their life to the Void after enduring it."
"Besides that, our reincarnation information is inscribed in the Void. As long as the Void exists, we do not perish."
"Also, no matter whose attack it is, we are guaranteed to evade the first strike, and our first move is guaranteed to hit the enemy..."
"These are just some of the abilities of our Void God clan. To explain all of them would take a lot of time. You will have to experience them yourself once you become a Void God."
Hearing the God King's description of the Void God clan's characteristics, Ye Ling couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder the Void God clan was once called the strongest race in the Void... Each of these characteristics, individually, could be considered a formidable karma skill..."
If Ye Ling had become a Void God before encountering Zun Yu, he wouldn't have been in such a sorry state.
The God King looked at Ye Ling calmly, "This is what your master wanted me to give you. If you wish to become one of us Void Gods, feel free to take it."
Ye Ling looked at the semi-transparent Void God Heart before him, feeling a stir of action. However, his mind was racing, constantly observing the God King's every move and remembering every detail of their conversation.
Currently, the God King's actions seemed to be without issue, and he couldn't lie to Ye Ling. But in reality, Ye Ling's wish was for the God King to answer his questions truthfully.
Previously, the God King's answers had been like squeezing toothpaste, yet when Shan asked them to hand over something, the God King had voluntarily answered and produced the Void God Heart.
Ye Ling hadn't asked what Shan wanted the God King to hand over earlier, meaning... the God King could exploit this loophole and lie to him!
Seeing Ye Ling merely staring at the Void God Heart without acting, the God King felt a pang of guilt and said, "Kid, are you suspecting something again?"
"You've already made a wish to me, I cannot lie to you. Everything I'm saying now is the truth."
"King of the Void God clan... Didn't the wish I made earlier state that you cannot lie to me?"
Ye Ling looked at the God King, his eyes narrowing slightly, "Tell me... could you have deliberately exploited a loophole in my wish, mixing in some fatal lies among a bunch of truths?"
The God King's expression changed drastically, "What... what are you talking about?"
Ye Ling chuckled, "You've always wanted to get rid of me, even going as far as to give away all the treasures you guarded in the Hidden Void. But now... you're so eager to give me the Void God Heart... Is this Void God Heart truly the treasure Shan wanted you to give me?"
The God King: "This, this..."
Ye Ling's voice suddenly rose, "Answer my question! Is this Void God Heart truly the treasure Shan wanted you to give me?"
Facing Ye Ling's accusation, the God King broke out in a cold sweat. He kept backing away, trembling as he replied, "No... no..."
"As expected!"
Ye Ling sneered, grasping the Void God Heart the God King had offered, "If I'm not mistaken, even if I absorb the Void God Heart, become a Void God, and gain those heaven-defying abilities you mentioned, I will still be under some strict restrictions, won't I?"
Saying this, Ye Ling swept his gaze across the graves in the Burial God Tomb and continued, "I recall you mentioning earlier that you were the one making the beings in those graves feign sleep... Let me stretch my imagination. Could it be that all members of the Void God clan must obey your command as God King... and after I absorb the Void God Heart, I will also be under your control?"
"And then, I would have willingly become a Void God, and you would then produce the treasure Shan truly wanted you to give me. And because I would have to obey your command, you could then take that item back after giving it to me."
"This way, you wouldn't have defied Shan, and you would have preserved your treasure, right?"
"You, you... you monster!"
The God King looked at Ye Ling with shock, his expression contorted.
His entire body was drenched in sweat!
The reason was simple... Ye Ling had completely guessed all his little schemes!
At this moment, the God King felt as if Ye Ling had seen through him entirely, as if even his underwear had been exposed, leaving no secrets.
How could these two, master and disciple, be so abnormal?
Both were monsters!
