“Your Highness Shae, I am sorry but I cannot agree to this request of yours.”
Louie’s face sank. After hearing that the Goddess of Night wanted him to kill a god, Louie flatly refused.
It wasn’t that Louie was afraid of doing so, but there were too many loopholes in her words. Shae would have him kill a god before taking their divine authorities and disguising herself as them in order to avoid the other gods. Then she would develop her believers in the dark until she completely regained her strength.
It must be said that Shae’s methods were very operational. Shae also had sufficient experience in assassinating a god and replacing them to continue receiving faith. In the role-playing game, Shae would probably beat all other gods.
To deceive the eyes of gods was truly an exciting thing to do, but also extremely dangerous. From this, it could be seen how daring the Goddess of the Night truly was.
It was just that the words ‘killing a god’ was too general. What if Shae asked him to kill the Goddess of Morning? Wasn’t this simply a trap? Moreover, it was an extremely dangerous move. Even if the gods were weakened at the moment, doing so would still not be easy.
Gods were extremely difficult to kill. Let alone the fact that gods had various means of escape, just finding their true bodies was a headache.
“Your Highness Louie, don’t refuse it immediately. My proposal also has great benefits for you.”
Shae also knew that her request was too frightening. It was easy for people to refuse her request. Her eyes that shone like stars were cold as the deep void, and the smile on her beautiful face carried cruelty and evil.
“Compared to the new gods of this era, you have a huge advantage in that you have a godhood. It provides you with a convenience that other gods could not imagine. However, compared to ancient gods like me who survived the Era of Disaster, you don’t have much of an advantage.
“Admittedly, those ancient gods don’t have many believers anymore, but they have sufficient missionary experience and divinity. Moreover, they had also maintained their divine authority over the years. They might start slowly, but they would be able to easily gather a large number of believers as time passes. The only obstacle in their way is the consumption of divine energy required to recreate their godhoods.
“You are different. Although you have a complete godhood and proper divine authorities, you are inferior to the ancient gods in missionary abilities and have an absolutely unavoidable weakness — your lack of divinity!”
The evil goddess licked her lips like a true devil, or perhaps something even more diabolical. She seemed to be able to see through Louie at a glance, making him feel as if he could not escape her. This was her nature – to dig out the other party’s inner worries in a bloody manner and not give them any chance to escape.
“Divinity is something that would take you millions of years to accumulate. None of us can wait that long for you. Therefore, the easiest way is not to rely on yourself, but to plunder from others!”
“Killing a god and plundering their divinity! Only by doing so can you close the gap with the ancient gods. It is not easy to overcome those ancient gods who had been alive for tens of thousands of years to hundreds of thousands of years. Even if they were asleep for 30,000 years, they still have a grasp over mortals.”
The cold, cruel, and enchanting voice echoed in Louie’s year. He could even feel the restraints in her voice. She was truly an incredible god who no one could know her innermost thoughts.
Louie’s heart sank and his expression turned serious.
This goddess was too powerful. In one glance, she had seen through Louie’s greatest worry. It wasn’t in godhood, wasn’t in divine authority, and wasn’t in faith, but in divinity.
As the Goddess of the Night said, with the passage of time, the advantage that he held over the gods would fade away. He had to act now while he had a great advantage.
However, divinity was not something that could be filled overnight. Faith may grow explosively in a short time, but divinity’s growth was very slow. If he only relied on himself, it would take thousands of years just to reach the starting point.
In the beginning, Louie had planned to go back to the Astral Realm to find more fallen gods. He had not yet fully explored the many coordinates that the Silver Moon Goddess had given him after all. By digging the graves of the gods, he could strengthen himself.

But picking up garbage was a slow process, and Shae had given Louie the quickest way—
Fullness for the bold, famine for the timid, let’s go kill a god!
“If you want to kill the god, the most difficult thing is finding their true body. Even if you are so weak right now, you can still act with your incarnation. We would also need to make advance preparations to kill a true god. The only god whose true body I know at the moment is her Highness Selune. You are not asking me to kill Her Highness Selune, are you?”
Louie asked cautiously. Shae’s words could not be trusted. It was very possible for her to compel him to kill Selune!
The Goddess of Darkness shook her head, “I know that you are in a covenant with Selune. Within the time limit, it is impossible for you to strike her, therefore I will not compel you to fight against Selune. Please rest assured about this.”
“The god I want you to kill is not difficult. You have all the elements in your body to lure that god to appear. When I saw your godhood, I exclaimed that it really seems like fate, so I am certain that we can kill him.”
“If we kill him, you can obtain all the divinity that you want, and I will obtain the divine authority that could conceal my identity. It happens to be a divine authority that would prevent the gods from suspecting our relationship!”
The Goddess of the Night continued to sway Louie with her words.
Louie stared at the ancient goddess. Her eyes were a void of tranquility with no sincerity nor deception. There was nothing that he could gather from her gaze, so the only thing he could rely on was his wisdom and perception.
“Good! Since you have said this much, I will make others laugh at me if I still remain timid and hesitant, so I will believe you once!
Louie slowly spoke. He did not truly believe in Shae but rather the River Styx Oath. As long as he was not deceived by Shae’s word games, he could trust her under oath.
“However, Your Highness Shae, although this cooperation is beneficial to both of us, the one who is killing the god is me, and you don’t even have the ability to fight in that state. If the plan is successful, you will have a turnaround and gain the opportunity to ascend the throne of god again.”
“In that sense, the gains and losses are not equal. The only thing you can give me is information, but I have to enter the fray and fight while the final spoil goes to you. Don’t you think that you need to pay with something more to make it fairer?”
Shae let out a dumbfounded laugh, “Haha, you really are a greedy dragon, to talk about fairness with the Goddess of the Night… but compared to those orderly and good gods, your greed feels more real. It seems that you will not be satisfied unless I give something…”
“All you can get in return is the secrets of the Goddess of the Night, the secret of my body and mind… Feel honored, new god favored by fate. You will be the first in a million years to find out secrets from the Lady of Secrets.”
“The Goddess of the Night’s secrets…”
Louie admiringly gazed at the mysterious goddess, from her translucent ink jade skin to her delicate face that seemed to hide countless secrets.
“The secrets you are hiding are indeed enough as payment!”
