Chapter 220 The Bet
Su Ke was not surprised by the attitude of the Lord of the Sea of Naruto. It would be strange if an immortal god, who was high above all others, could be easily persuaded by a mere domain lord of a secret realm.
In fact, Suk also felt that his current behavior was somewhat irrational and completely different from his past self. However, some people will sometimes do what they believe is right, not for personal gain, but for peace of mind and to have a clear conscience.
This can also be called human nature.
Human nature is often very contradictory and complex. Take Suk, for example. He usually doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, but when something really happens to him, he will never deliberately turn a blind eye or pretend to be indifferent.
But things took an even more complicated turn than Suk had anticipated.
"Little guy, you think you can make me give up with just one sentence? That's impossible." Lord Narumi wasn't angry at all. Instead, he continued, "Since you want me to end this game, then show me your sincerity."
"What sincerity?" Suk frowned slightly. He was relieved that the Lord of the Sea of Sound hadn't directly refused, which meant there was still room for maneuver, but he was also a little worried.
Could it be that the Lord of the Sea of Sound is trying to make some excessive demands based on this?
He wanted to do everything in his power to save people, but that didn't mean he was willing to risk his own life.
"It's very simple," said Lord Narumi with a smile. "Let's make a bet."
"What kind of bet?" Suk secretly became more vigilant.
"With the virtual universe as witness, no one can go back on their word. I will send a Domain Lord-level expert for you to fight. If you win, I promise you I will immediately release those 1 million people and from now on, I will never again engage in anything like a 'lucky death lottery'," said Lord Minghai. "But if you lose, and you cultivate to immortality, you will have to serve me under my demonic power."
Suk finally understood the intention of the Lord of the Narumi Sea; it turned out that the Lord had taken a liking to him.
"I never expected that Lord Narumi would take a liking to me. I am truly flattered," Suk said slowly.
Lord Narumi looked at Suk, a smile appearing in his eyes, "Actually, if you come to my Demon Lord's court, I will not treat you unfairly."
Suk said, "I wonder who I'm going to fight? Could it be a genius from the Primordial Secret Realm or the Primal Secret Realm of the Virtual Universe Company?" If that's the case, he'll have to think carefully about whether to accept the challenge, because it would be hard to back out if he lost.
"No, that's not it." Lord Narumi smiled mysteriously. "The human race doesn't just collect and cultivate geniuses through Virtual Universe Company and Giant Axe Arena. Don't forget, the Universe First Bank, the Universe Galaxy Bank, and the Universe Mercenary Alliance are also among the five major powers. Although they are not as powerful as the former two, the geniuses they have carefully cultivated should not be underestimated."
"And this time, I want you to fight against the peerless genius of the Bloodstained Secret Realm, the number one bank in the universe, the Domain Lord-level 'Flower Ticket'!" When she mentioned this genius, a smile appeared on her face, as if the two had a special relationship.
"The Bloodstained Secret Realm?" Su Ke pondered. The Bloodstained Secret Realm of the First Bank of the Universe was similar in level to the Primordial Secret Realm of the Virtual Universe Company, and the geniuses within were not much different.
The lowest level for a Domain Lord in the Primordial Secret Realm is passing the eighth level of the Bridge to Heaven. The highest level is even passing the tenth level!
Suk didn't know much about the genius of the Universe's First Bank, so he asked, "I wonder which level of the Bridge to Heaven this Hua Chong has passed?"
Lord Narumi said, "It's fine to tell you. She has already passed the eighth level of the Bridge to Heaven. If you can defeat her, then I will grant your request. Otherwise, go back to where you came from."
Suk shook his head. "My lord, I've only been out of Chaos City for less than three hundred years, and you want to fight someone like me who has already passed the eighth level of the Heavenly Bridge? Isn't that a bit too much of a bullying?"
Indeed, even if Suk had already passed the fifth level of the Sky Bridge in Chaos City, normally, his progress would slow down after leaving Chaos City, making it difficult to compare with the extremely high efficiency within Chaos City.
In three hundred years, being able to pass the seventh level is already incredibly impressive. To be able to enter a cosmic-level primordial secret realm is no exaggeration to call someone a genius who appears only once every tens of thousands of eras.
Want to reach the eighth level? Unless you're a prodigy like Eloi, who has obtained extraordinary opportunities and has incredibly powerful and abundant resources to support him, such as a teacher from the universe, and whose cultivation speed is beyond reason!
The request made by Narumi Shrine Master is indeed seen as extremely unfair by most people.
Lord Minghai looked at Su Ke, "Su Ke, I just read your information. You failed your first attempt to cross the Bridge to Heaven in Chaos City. You then remained silent for 30 years, and later you crossed the fifth level of the Bridge to Heaven in one go! I think with your talent, after all these years, you might have already been able to cross the seventh level, or even the eighth level now. You must be very ambitious. Although I don't know why you were willing to give up the cultivation process at the cosmic level and directly break through to the Domain Lord level, this only makes me think you are an extraordinary genius."
Suk was slightly surprised by Narumi God's words. He hadn't expected that Narumi God, who liked to stay at home in the God Kingdom, would think so highly of him and give him such a high evaluation.
In fact, Lord Minghai was not wrong, and even underestimated it. Over the years, Su Ke has been cultivating the "Flowing Scroll" day and night. He has already comprehended 106 of the 108 mysteries of time using his "cultivation alienation talent". Only the last 2 remain for him to completely comprehend all 108 mysteries of time!
What does this mean?
This means he will have the ability to cross all 12 levels of the Sky Bridge!
Although he hasn't fully grasped its essence yet, its true depth has already surpassed the scope of the previous three river fish paintings.
If one can comprehend the first three diagrams of the Nine Universes Chaos Stele (not comprehending its essence, which is a hundred or a thousand times more difficult), one will likely have the strength to pass through the first nine levels.
Therefore, Suk's current understanding of the laws has surpassed that of the ninth level of the Bridge to Heaven.
However, he has kept a low profile all these years and has not attempted to cross the Heavenly Bridge, so his record remains at the fifth level when he left Chaos City.
Su Ke's low profile was for a reason. First, he was not yet able to cross the Primordial Heavenly Mountain, and it was not yet time for the once-in-a-millennium secret realm qualification battle to break out. Exposing himself at this time would undoubtedly attract the attention of the alien races, and if they also wanted to come and assassinate him, it would be troublesome.
Despite the ever-present threat of assassination by alien races, Suk remained highly vigilant.
Suk smiled slightly, "I didn't expect Lord Minghai to have such a high opinion of me. Then I'll challenge that domain lord genius you mentioned."
If I win, I hope the Lord will keep his promise.
The Lord of the Sea of Naruto fell silent at the sight of Su Ke's confident demeanor. She had only mentioned it casually, and her belief that Su Ke had reached the eighth level was merely a guess. She was not very confident, but she did not expect that Su Ke would actually accept the challenge. It turns out that you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, are really hiding your true strength and have reached the eighth level without making a sound.
However, she immediately became excited again, thinking that it would be interesting to bring such a genius under the devil's control.
"Alright, I'll arrange the battle between you two right away."
