Chapter 146 Recruitment
If Locke was just an ordinary lower-level god, Oaks felt that he might risk being hunted down by the Demon Castle and kill Locke to escape his debt.

However, from the two brothers, Oaks learned that Locke was a three-star demon...

Let’s think about how to return the 150,000 ink stones.

Hundreds of ink stones can be stored in a hundred years, and 150,000 ink stones, so tens of millions of years will be enough!

Thinking of this, Oaks felt that his future was dark.

"Master Locke, please rest assured that I will compensate you for the difference in price of those purple crystals."

"However, due to my limited ability, it may take tens of millions of years for me to pay it off completely."

As soon as he said this, Oaks felt very anxious.

"Oh?"

Locke looked up at Oaks. When he heard these words from Oaks' mouth, Locke knew that Oaks had not yet noticed his change.

"You want to pay me back for my losses?"

"Yes, Lord Locke."

Oaks kept a low profile.

It's not only because of Locke's strength, but also because Locke is his savior.

"Although the repayment time is a bit long, please rest assured that I will definitely pay you back at least 150,000 ink stones within ten million years."

"That's it."

Locke glanced at Oaks and reached out to touch his chin.

Now, Oaks has completed the transformation of his soul, and judging from the attitudes of the two lower gods and the beautiful woman in the castle towards Oaks, Oaks should be a very sentimental person.

By the way, don’t you want to rebuild a force after abandoning the Demon Castle?

With the mutation of soul, Oaks' affinity for the mysteries of the law will be raised to a higher level, and his own qualifications will also be improved.

Even if he could not achieve the profound principles of fusion, and only refined the divine nature to reach the level of a higher god, he would at least have the strength of a four-star demon by virtue of the fusion of divine power.

If this is the case, then it is not without value in cultivation.

"Well, Oaks."

Thinking of this, Locke raised his head and looked at Oaks.

"Compared to carrying a debt that will take tens of millions of years to pay off, have you ever thought of another option?"

"what?"

Oaks was shocked and thought that Locke had discovered the thought of killing Locke that had flashed through his mind.

But then, Lord Locke's words made Oaks feel like he was in a dream.

"So, surrender to me and swear allegiance to me?"

Seeing that Oaks didn't speak, Locke continued.

"Let me first talk about my treatment of you."

"As long as you swear allegiance to me, I will not charge you for the consumption of the purple crystals. Not only that, I will also do my best to train you."

"If you become a mid-level god under my training, I will give your two brothers a mid-level godhood with matching attributes."

"If you can achieve the status of a Higher God, I will also grant them the status of a Higher God."

"how?"

"This……"

Locke's conditions stunned Oaks.

This is not to say that the conditions offered by Locke were bad, but that they were too good.

It was so good that Oaks felt that he was not worth so much.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Oaks laughed dryly and said, "Lord Locke, are you kidding me? How could I possibly be worth so much from you?"

"Indeed, in the eyes of others who don't know, you are indeed not worth that much."

"But, in my opinion, you are qualified to be trained by me."

"Otherwise, why do you think I spent ten purple crystals to save you?"

"Of course, if you refuse my offer, you can pay off your debt in tens of millions of years."

"After all, what I need is for you to serve me sincerely, not forcing you."

"Lord Locke, I am willing to serve you."

After confirming that Locke really wanted to recruit him as his subordinate, Oaks immediately declared his allegiance to Locke.

As a lower-level god who has been struggling in hell for more than 100,000 years, Ox has a lot of grievances.

More than 100,000 years ago, Oaks came to Hell with the strength of the limit of the Sanctuary and was assigned to the Black Stone Tribe.

Relying on the environmental advantages of hell, Oaks successfully comprehended the last bit of the mystery of the laws and ascended to the realm of gods ten years after entering hell.

However, when becoming a god, Oaks chose to become a god in vitro because he had an affinity with the element of fire.

And this was the beginning of Oaks' miserable life.

Although Oaks became one of the guardians of the Black Stone Tribe after becoming a divine domain, he was only paid one ink stone every thousand years, which was not enough for him to buy treasures to restore his soul. And the weakness of his soul power prevented Oaks from even practicing normally.

However, in addition to Ox, the Blackrock Tribe at that time also had three lower gods, so Ox was not in any danger.

Until one day, the leader of the Blackrock tribe and two other lower gods went to the city to sell inkstones and were attacked and killed. Ox was the only lower god left in the Blackrock tribe and was in imminent danger.

At that time, there were still more than 300 ink stones in the Blackrock Tribe. It would take Oaks hundreds of thousands of years to become a guardian to obtain these ink stones.

However, Oaks did not abandon the Black Stone Tribe because of these ink stones. Instead, he secretly entered the city, used the more than 300 ink stones to purchase two lower-level godheads and returned to the Black Stone Tribe. He then selected two saints with matching attributes from the tribe to refine them, and only then was the situation of the Black Stone Tribe stabilized.

It is for this reason that the people of the Blackrock Tribe respect Oaks so much that after Oaks was severely damaged, they immediately sent out a demonic mission to ask for help using the inkstones that had been stored in the tribe for 100,000 years.

To be honest, at some point, Oaks also wanted to join some big forces.

But obviously, he has not been able to break through to the middle-level god in 100,000 years. In the eyes of those forces, he is just a lower-level god with no potential.

Those forces don't want to be burdened with supporting tens of thousands of saints just because of a lower-level god with no potential.

But now, Lord Locke has offered such generous conditions in order to gain his loyalty. Only a fool would have to refuse.

Now, with the help of Locke, Oaks' soul has fully recovered and he can begin to comprehend the mysteries of the laws and continue to practice.

At present, Oaks does not dare to hope to become a higher god, but he is confident that he can fully comprehend the mystery of another law within ten thousand years and break through to the middle god.

At that time, Lord Locke bestowed two middle-level godhoods on Japar and Koster. The Black Stone Tribe then had three middle-level gods in charge and would become the most powerful tribe nearby.

"very good."

Locke admired Oaks's decisiveness.

At this moment, Locke flipped his hand, and three black divine powers appeared in Locke's hand.

"Since you are already my subordinate, then..."

"I see that your wife has an affinity with the wind element. These three divine attributes are my gift to you."

"As long as you refine these three godheads one by one, your wife will be able to become a high-level god."

"Of course, you should be well aware of the shortcomings of refining the Godhead to become a god. It is up to you to decide whether to give it to your wife to refine."

After saying that, Locke threw the three wind godhoods to Oaks, causing Oaks to hurriedly catch them.

"Lord Locke..."

Feeling the breath of laws coming from the three divine powers in his hands, Oaks was so excited that he could not control himself.

He didn't expect that in addition to what Lord Locke promised, after he pledged his allegiance, Lord Locke actually gave him an extra set of godhood.

Moreover, it was specially selected for Yagonia.

Yagonia is the daughter of the previous leader of the Blackrock Tribe. She married Oaks after he became the leader of the Blackrock Tribe. Over the years, the two have had a very deep relationship.

Taking a deep breath, Oaks knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Locke.

After obtaining these three divine powers, Yagonia will be able to become a powerful upper god.

At that time, even if I risk my life for Lord Locke, I won't have to worry about Yagonia's safety.

"Don't worry, Lord Locke. From today on, my life belongs to you."

"Okay, Oaks."

"Don't make it so sentimental."

Waving his hand, Locke said, "Go down first and tell the Blackrock Tribe about it."

"And tell them that you will spend more time practicing with me in the future, and the affairs of the Black Stone Tribe will be completely left to them."

"Yes."

……

"What? There is such a good thing?"

In the hall of the Blackrock Tribe Castle, after hearing what Oaks said, Gapar and Koster both showed expressions of surprise on their faces.

They never imagined that in the end not only would they not have to repay their debts, but they might even be rewarded with divinity in the future.

Compared with the surprise of Gapar and Koster, Yagonia's face showed a look of worry.

"Ox, I know that Lord Locke's reward is very generous, but I am still worried about exchanging your freedom for these things..."

Hearing what Yagonia said, Gapar and Koster smiled awkwardly.

Yes, just now they were only happy about the rewards proposed by Lord Locke, but forgot that these rewards were based on Oaks' oath of allegiance to Lord Locke.

"Hahaha, Nia, you don't have to worry."

"Even a strong man like Lord Locke doesn't think highly of my current strength."

"He said that I will follow him and practice in the future. From now on, the affairs of the Black Stone Tribe will require you three to take care of them."

"Don't worry about it. Lord Locke's affairs and Brother Oaks's strength are the most important."

After some discussion, the three of them accepted the fact that Oaks worked for Lord Locke.

At the same time, the three of them sincerely hoped that Oaks could quickly improve his strength by following Lord Locke.

Because of the increase in Ox's strength, Gapar and Koster will also obtain middle-level godhood or even higher-level godhood.
