Chapter 1847 - 999: Dark Lord Grazte (Part 2)
"I’m very curious—why do you want to cooperate with me?"
Lis looked at Grazte and asked with some curiosity,
"Even with my current strength, I probably still wouldn’t be worth your notice, right?"
"If the goal is to sabotage the progress of the Abyss Blood Battle, my ability isn’t enough yet."
"Even though, as a World Tree Favored, you have the chance to attain Powerful Divine Power, you’ve grown too fast."
"Now, you already have that qualification, don’t you?"
The eyes on the blood-colored brain blinked. Although they carried a smile, they gave off an extremely eerie feeling.
"Besides, you should already know Demogorgon’s plan."
"How did Demogorgon manage to invade the Gaia World?"
Lis did not respond, but directly asked Grazte instead.
"...I don’t know much."
After a brief Silence, Grazte spoke directly,
"I don’t know what method Demogorgon used, but he can affect the Abyss Will."
"This is something that has never happened before."
Lis could sense a faint gloomy aura emanating from Grazte.
This matter seemed to have dealt quite a shock to Grazte!
Though it was normal.
It was like some Divine suddenly being able to influence the will of the Gaia World and actively guiding the world to undergo certain changes.
Especially for those existences standing at the very top, this kind of uncontrollable change was what the Divine feared the most.
"Although I don’t know how Demogorgon did it, it should be related to himself."
"Even in this Divine War, his true body has not appeared; he’s only using Avatars to fight the All Gods."
Grazte continued.
"Demogorgon’s Avatars?"
Lis was a little puzzled.
Just an Avatar can intervene in the All Gods’ melee?
"How strong are his Avatars?"
"No weaker than Demogorgon’s past true body, perhaps even slightly stronger."
Grazte said in a deep voice,
"However, his true body must have some special situation and cannot leave the Saltwater Swamp."
"I see."
Lis nodded. In that case, the change in the Abyss Will should be greatly related to Demogorgon’s true body.
"At the same time, part of Demogorgon’s plan should be related to the World Tree."
"You should be clear about that part."
Lis looked at Grazte and, after a brief Silence, said,
"So, how do you want to cooperate?"
"You just tell me these things and expect me to go sabotage Demogorgon’s plan?"
"Of course... it’s not just that."
Grazte said with a smile,
"This is only to show my sincerity."
"In fact, Lis, you know well that even if you don’t cooperate with me, as the World Tree Favored you will still take the initiative to sabotage Demogorgon’s plan."
"So this is merely my proposal."
"In the Gaia World, I won’t interfere either."
"But if, during the Divine War or in the Endless Abyss, you want to make a move against Demogorgon, I can consider giving you a hand."
Hearing this, Lis raised his head and gave Grazte a deep look.
"I understand—you’re not trying to cooperate with me; you’re trying to cooperate with the All Gods?"
"Then why don’t you speak directly to the God of Dawn?"
"With your strength, you should have a way to contact the All Gods without being discovered by Demogorgon, right?"
"I do, but I think it’s more interesting to cooperate with you."
Grazte looked at Lis, paused, then said directly,
"Don’t underestimate Demogorgon. I feel there are definitely allies of his among the All Gods."
"Even among those with Powerful Divine Power, it’s possible."
"The only one it can’t be is perhaps you, the current World Tree Favored."
"Got it."
Lis nodded slightly, roughly understanding why Grazte wanted to act this way.
Looked at this way, the Dark Lord Grazte seemed to be quite wary of Demogorgon?
He was actually this cautious?
Lis did not say much more.
In fact, when it came to matters involving Demogorgon, he would be just as cautious if he were in Grazte’s place.
Although he had taken some advantage from Demogorgon’s hands, Lis was well aware of Demogorgon’s threat.
"This time, I’m only informing you in advance. I hope you don’t casually tell others, especially the All Gods."
"Of course, if there really is some need for cooperation, I’ll contact you."
"If you need something from me, you can also call my name directly."
Grazte paused, then looked at Lis and said,
"As for this Brain Demon Visarion, I hope you can let him go."
"He’s still of some use to me."
"No."
Lis shook his head, not the slightest hesitation in his words.
What a joke—even though the Dark Lord Grazte seemed quite friendly, that was only because they shared a common enemy in Demogorgon.
This did not mean the two of them were allies.
Whether or not to cooperate with Grazte was something Lis still had to think carefully about.
And just based on this, he wanted Lis to release a Demigod Demon?
Keep dreaming!
"Fine."
A flash of ferocity passed through Grazte’s eyes, but it quickly subsided.
"I hope to see the day you contact me."
With that, Grazte left Visarion’s body.
Lis looked at the unconscious Brain Demon and was in no hurry to kill him.
He still needed to study him carefully.
Then Lis summoned the system panel.

Lis looked at the prompts on the system panel and nodded.
In fact, besides the system rewards obtained this time, he had other gains.
The main one was that through the [Wisdom] Rules, he could be said to have "copied" the Rules mastered by those Demigod Demons.
This time, he had gained many more materials to integrate into the [Wisdom] Rules.
