Chapter 2762: The Wager
However, the Guardian Gods not coming to snatch back this half of the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet does not mean they don’t value it.
On the contrary, they value this half of the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet greatly. If possible, they truly want to retrieve this half of the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet.
If the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet is restored to its full form, their desire to cultivate the Strongest would be expedited significantly.
But, wanting this half of the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet means they cannot pay too great a price.
Now, with Su Yang’s proposal, if he can succeed, he could retrieve this half of the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet without any effort. If he truly accomplishes that, his influence among the Guardian Gods would rise once more.
This time, with the gods returning to their positions, the First God gradually gained power over the Guardian Gods. He, being a peer of the First God, is also the most ostracized by the First God. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come to challenge the Human Clan.
If he can retrieve this half of the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, his status among the Guardian Gods would surely climb again. Although he might not be able to overthrow the First God, it would be much harder for the First God to target him in the future.
Thinking it over, the Eternal Main God believed this bet was worth it. Because the reward is so great, and he truly could not find a reason for himself to lose!
"Alright, I will bet with you!" the Eternal Main God stated straightforwardly.
"A bet among the Strongest won’t break the promise, right?" Su Yang smiled and looked at the Heaven Slayer.
The Heaven Slayer and his companions were filled with helplessness, while the Taoist Venerable smirked, "If he breaks the promise, then any prestige he has among the Guardian Gods is out of the question."
"That is good!" Su Yang smiled and nodded, "Eternal Lord, I am willing to put forth the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, what do you wager against me?"
"What do you want?" the Eternal Main God frowned.
"I heard you possess a very powerful weapon called the Eternal Sword," Su Yang said, "Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet versus the Eternal Sword, who truly loses?"
"Surely we are losing!" Taoist Venerable immediately responded, "Although the Eternal Sword is a Strongest Artifact, compared to the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, there is no comparison; it’s entirely different categories!"
"Oh, very well then!" Su Yang smiled and nodded, "Eternal Lord, since that’s the case, I am willing to take a loss and use the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet to trade for your Eternal Sword, what do you think?"
The Eternal Main God furrowed his brows; the Eternal Sword was a Divine Artifact he personally forged, with immense power. Although not as strong as the Heaven Slayer’s Heaven-Slaying Blade, it ranked among the top-five among the Strongest’s Divine Artifacts.
The Eternal Main God stood on equal footing with the First God during the Ancient Times due to this Eternal Sword. Without the Eternal Sword, his status would surely decline again.
"Eternal Lord, are you worried about losing?" Su Yang smiled, "If you’re too worried, then there’s no need for a bet!"
The Eternal Main God furrowed his brows, angrily glaring at Su Yang. Truth be told, Su Yang’s confidence left him feeling unsure. Yet, the fact is, he could not understand where he could possibly lose.
Since ancient times, the Strongest has never erred in such matters; what gives Su Yang the right to challenge him?
Taking a deep breath, the Eternal Main God finally gritted his teeth, "Fine, I will bet the Eternal Sword!"
"Bold!" Su Yang applauded, "Everyone, please serve as witnesses, and those in the air, you also bear witness!"
No one responded; the Heaven Slayer waved, and the scene in the sky suddenly shifted, revealing five Strongest Guardian Gods in the air.
These five individuals were the Strongest accompanying the Eternal Main God to the Human Clan this time. They had remained hidden and had not shown themselves. However, the Human Clan’s Strongest had long noticed them.
With these five appearing, they looked somewhat awkward, one of them glancing at the Eternal Main God, unsure of what to say.
"Since you are here, serve as witnesses!" the Eternal Main God instructed, "If he loses, he should hand over the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet to us. If I lose, I’ll give him the Eternal Sword!"
The Strongest exchanged looks and nodded. In this matter, they also believed the Eternal Main God wouldn’t lose!
"Excellent!" Su Yang laughed and nodded, "Since you all are willing to serve as witnesses, let us begin. Eternal Lord, do you remember what I said earlier?"
"What’s there to forget?" the Eternal Main God replied coldly, "You said you have a way to let this person advance to become the Strongest, and I am waiting for you."
"You said there’s no way he could advance to the Strongest, and I said there’s a way I could possibly help him advance to the Strongest, right?" Su Yang smiled.
"That’s right!" the Eternal Main God nodded, "Stop wasting time, hurry up, we’re all waiting!"
"Indeed, hurry up and make him advance to the Strongest. Oh, no, get several of them to advance to the Strongest, it’d be best if all your Human Clan members advanced to the Strongest, now that would be interesting!"
"Stop dawdling, hurry up, we’re all watching."
"Now this is truly interesting, hahaha, a great change to the Strongest?"
All the Strongest among the Guardian Gods sneered and mocked, in their eyes, Su Yang was merely bringing shame to himself!
"Directly turning him into the Strongest, of course, is impossible," Su Yang smiled, "I can only propose a method that might allow him to advance to the Strongest."
"What method? Making him reincarnate?" the Eternal Main God sneered, "Even if he’s completely remade, he still has no potential to advance to the Strongest, talent limits him. Someone with his dull talent struggles even to reach the Heavenly Peak, let alone advance to the Strongest; does he deserve it?"
Second City Lord: "???"
Saying it is one thing, but what does your personal attack mean? Su Yang, why do you use me as an example? Can’t you find another one?
The Human Clan’s Strongest remained silent, unable to conceive how the Second City Lord could advance to the Strongest.
"Hehe..." Su Yang smiled, "What if he were given the Chaos Flower to consume?"
Once these words came out, the giggling Guardian Gods suddenly stopped, while the Human Clan’s Strongest had their eyes lit.
The Chaos Flower could directly advance cultivators with the bearing of the Strongest to the Strongest. Therefore, over the years, people have desperately competed for it, intending to use it to elevate cultivators with the bearing of the Strongest to the Strongest.
However, no one ever imagined giving a Chaos Flower to an ordinary person, someone impossible to advance to the Strongest.
Su Yang’s words were entirely unexpected; they never considered this, as giving a Chaos Flower to an ordinary person was indulgent indeed!
