Chapter 258 The price of saving people

"Lord Locke, this matter is related to you, so you should explain the whole story first."

"Yes, Lord Uhtred."

After bowing slightly to Uhtred, the Lord of Destruction, Locke brought Ceres to the center of the main gods and said:

"My dear Lords, I am sorry for taking up your time because of my business. I would like to apologize to you all."

"The thing is, I was born in a material plane called the Frost Plane, where..."

Next, Locke recounted his own growth experience to let everyone understand the relationship between himself and Ceres.

"Later, Ceres joined my Lord God Legion..."

The gods are not fools.

Lord Locke spent so much time talking about the relationship between himself and Ceres, and then he mentioned the mistakes Ceres made. Everyone could see what his intention was.

Look at what Ceres did. If it were any other god, wouldn't they have killed him thousands of times for any of those things?
And now, not only did Lord Locke not kill Ceres to maintain the majesty of the Lord God, but he also wanted to protect Ceres...

Lord Locke trampled on the face of Lord God Luoxue and wanted to save Ceres' life.

How can the life of a mere god-level powerful being compare with the face of the Lord God?

However, this is the will of Lord Locke. Except for the four supreme rule masters, do the main gods dare to disobey it?

All the main gods were silent and did not speak.

From the perspective of the main god, they are in the same camp as the main god Luoxue.

Although they were intimidated by Lord Locke's strength and would not ask to help Lord Luoxue, they also could not say anything that would make Lord Luoxue magnanimous.

At this time, as the host of this Lord God Conference, Lord of Destruction Uhtred spoke.

"My Lords, I think everyone knows what the consequences will be if Lord Locke protects the god-level strongman who offended Lord Luoxue and does not receive adequate punishment."

Glancing at the main gods in the turbulent space, the Lord of Destruction continued, "At that time, the high-level main gods can promise great benefits to the gods under the command of the low-level main gods, guarantee their lives, and make them betray the low-level main gods to achieve certain goals of their own."

“By that time, the relationship between the Lord Gods and their subordinates will become one of mutual distrust, which will greatly hinder the Lord Gods’ duty to maintain the rules of the universe.”

"In order to prevent this kind of thing from happening, I have convened this Lord God Conference to let everyone discuss how to resolve this incident."

After hearing the words of the Lord of Destruction, the gods suddenly understood.

It turned out that it was not that the Lord of Destruction and Lord Locke were in collusion, but that Lord Locke invited the Lord of Destruction to act as a lobbyist in order to protect the god-level ant.

However, the Lord of Destruction took into consideration the possible impact of this incident, so he convened this meeting of the main gods.

Indeed, as the Lord of Destruction said, if Lord Locke saved the ants who betrayed Lord Luoxue this time, what if other Lords instigated the subordinates of the middle and lower-level gods to rebel next time?

So, you can’t bring yourself to ask this question.

To resolve this matter, for most of the main gods, it is nothing at all. They just need to kill the ant who made the mistake and maintain the dignity of the main gods.

With the precedent of Ceres, other god-level powerful beings would not be foolish enough to think that those who betrayed the main god could still get the protection of other main gods.

But the most important thing now is that Lord Locke wants to save this ant.

A group of main gods looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

"Don't worry, my Lords."

Seeing that the main gods were silent, Locke spoke first.

"As the Lord God, I naturally do not want any rifts to arise between the Lord God and his subordinates."

"So, in order to keep Ceres, I am willing to pay some price."

"I think that if the price I pay is high enough, no Lord God will want to protect a god who betrays Him in the future."

"Oh?"

Hearing Locke's words, a group of main gods nodded immediately.

Indeed, if a huge price is paid to protect a guy who betrayed the former Lord God, I think no Lord God would be willing to do so.

As long as one of the main gods breaks his promise, once the news spreads, the god-level strongmen will naturally not believe that other main gods will protect them after they betray the current main god.

"Falling snow."

"Lord Uhtred."

The Lord God Luoxue flew out from the ranks of the Lord Gods and saluted the Lord of Destruction.

"In this incident, you are the most direct victim."

"Lord Locke said that he can pay a price to make you give up pursuing Ceres' crimes. What do you think?"

"Lord Uhtred, this is related to my own reputation after all. Therefore, if Lord Locke wants me not to pursue Ceres's crime, he must pay a price that satisfies me."

"Lord Locke, do you have anything to say?"

"Lord Uhtred, whether it's because of Ceres or because I want to maintain the relationship between the Lord God and his subordinates, I am willing to accept some price."

"I just don't know what price Lord Luoxue wants me to pay in order to give up pursuing Ceres?" "Then I don't know what price Lord Locke is willing to pay for the reasons you mentioned?"

"..."

As soon as Lord Luoxue said this, all the Lords looked at him with shocked eyes.

Guys, I'm straight guys.

Lord Locke asked you what you need to do in order for him to give up the pursuit, and you are directly exposing Lord Locke's bottom line.

Locke was also stunned for a moment. He originally thought that as long as Lord Luoxue’s request was not too excessive, he would just agree to Lord Luoxue’s request.

I never expected that when the time came, Lord Luoxue would play such a trick on me.

Could it be that there was something wrong with the message from the Lord of Destruction?

After taking a look at the Lord of Destruction, Locke instantly suppressed this thought.

The Lord of Destruction would not be so unreliable.

Therefore, the only possibility is that my concessions will make Lord Luoxue feel that he can get more from me?
The Lord of Destruction narrowed his eyes.

I have already told him before that he can make a suitable request to Lord Locke, and Lord Locke will not refuse.

But now, Luoxue is using herself to force Locke to dominate.

Hey, he may not be strong, but he is quite courageous.

"Why? Could it be that Lord Locke is just talking big but can't actually offer me a price that would move me?"

Seeing the look on Lord Luoxue's face, Locke suddenly laughed.

"No, I was just thinking about what price I should pay in order to make other masters learn from my thoughts."

Then, Locke said to Uhtred, the Lord of Destruction: "Lord Lord of Destruction, I am willing to teach the secret of a move that I created alone to Lord Snowfall."

"After learning this move, even a lower-level main god can have the strength comparable to that of a middle-level main god."

"Lord Luoxue, I wonder if you are willing to accept this price?"

"Ok?"

Hearing Lord Locke's words, Lord Luoxue's eyes lit up.

As expected, if I make an offer myself, how can I get as much as if I let Lord Locke make the offer himself?
This one trick can increase the strength of a lower-level god by a hundred times. This is already a huge profit!
At that moment, Lord Luoxue nodded frantically.

"Yes, Lord Locke. I am very satisfied with the price you paid."

The other main gods looked at the main god Luoxue with eyes full of envy at this moment.

If they lose a bit of face, they can get a powerful move that increases their power a hundred times. They want to lose such face.

As for whether Lord Locke could come up with a trick to increase his strength a hundred times, the main gods had no doubt about it.

After all, these two divine clones have reached the great perfection, and in the mysterious fusion of different laws, they have surpassed the great perfection of Lord Locke.

With such a talent, let alone Lord Locke creating a unique skill that increases strength by a hundred times, even if Lord Locke said that he created a unique skill that increases strength by a thousand times, the main gods would most likely believe it.

"Because this move is my most powerful one, Lord Luoxue, after I teach you the secret of this move, you must swear in the name of the Supreme God that you will not pass on the secret of this move to others."

"Besides, since this move is my own creation, I don't know if you can learn it, Lord Luoxue. So, I am only responsible for teaching you. I cannot guarantee whether you can learn it or not."

"Of course, I can assure you, Lord Luoxue, that the moves I teach you are the mysteries of the water law."

"As long as you have reached a certain level in your attainment of the water system, it is not difficult to learn this move."

"Lord Luoxue, do you accept this?"

Hearing Locke's words, Lord Luoxue hesitated for a moment, but in the end, the unique skill that could increase strength a hundred times, and the mystery of the water law, still prevailed in Lord Luoxue's heart.

At that moment, Lord Luoxue nodded.

"I am willing."

"very good."

Seeing that Lord Luoxue agreed, Lord Destruction made the final judgment of this Lord God Conference.

"Regarding the outcome of the incident involving Lord Locke and Lord Snowfall's god-level creature Ceres, Lord Locke and Lord Snowfall negotiated and Lord Locke offered Lord Snowfall a special water-based move that can increase his own strength by a hundred times as compensation, in exchange for Lord Snowfall not pursuing the god-level creature Ceres."

"After both parties reach an agreement, they cannot go back on their word, otherwise they will both be hunted down by the four Rule Masters."

"Yes, Lord Uhtred."

Next, under the witness of many main gods, Lord Luoxue swore in the name of the Supreme God that he would not reveal the secret of the trick, and then turned to look at Locke.

"My fellow gods, in order to allow everyone to better experience the power of this move, my water god clone has already rushed over here."

"When the time comes, my Water God clone will be the first to demonstrate the power of this move, so that everyone will know that I did not deceive Lord Luoxue."
