Chapter 66 Rejection
Ceres saw the fear in Locke's eyes and couldn't help but lean back in his chair, admiring Locke's expression.

Ceres didn't know that at this moment, he had become a synonym for terror in Locke's eyes.

Even though he had a smile on his face, in Locke's mind, he looked like a vicious beast with its mouth wide open, as if it could swallow Locke with just one mouth.

Do you want to agree to him?
Or, should I refuse?

Big drops of cold sweat dripped from Locke's forehead.

At this moment, it seemed as if two little men were fighting in Locke's mind.

One of them, holding high the banner of "survival", pinned the other villain to the ground and beat him wildly.

While beating one villain, he also intended to brainwash the other villain.

"You idiot, promise him!"

"Haven't we already made up our minds? To survive in this world, to see the heavens and the myriad worlds, to see the countless living beings, to show our holiness before the future Lin Meng?"

"If you reject Ceres' proposal, he might kill you immediately."

"If we are still in the Holy Land, then death is death. The worst that can happen is that we can live another life in the underworld or the world of the dead!"

"But after becoming a god, if you are killed, your soul cannot enter the world of the dead. When you die, you are really dead!"

"Also, don't just think about the bad things. Think about the benefits we will get after agreeing to Ceres."

"One billion people, with our spiritual attainments, we can at least refine five soul gold beads!"

"With these five golden soul beads, even if our souls cannot be fully restored, they can be restored to a level that supports us to continue practicing."

"Once we have fully comprehended the mysteries of the Law of Sharp Ice and completely integrated the mysteries of the Law of Mystery of Mist and the Law of Sharp Ice, we will be able to possess the power of a Higher God!"

"When the time comes, we can kill Ceres and avenge those one billion humans!"

Under the powerful attack of the "survival" villain, the other villain had no power to fight back at all and could only allow the "survival" villain to attack him.

However, no matter how many times this villain was attacked by the "survival" villain, he never sided with the "survival" villain.

"I know I know……"

"I know everything you said..."

The words of this villain were accompanied by sobs.

Obviously, he is not afraid of death.

"But, we are Dragon people who have received Dragon education and have sound values!"

"I am afraid of death, but I am more afraid that after we take this step, we will no longer be ourselves!"

"Were we still ourselves at that time?"

When the little man raised his head, Locke saw the words on the top of his head:

self!

This villain, is this my ego?

Yes, if I promised Ceres and used these one billion people to refine the golden soul beads, would I still be myself?

For a moment, Locke seemed to see that although the "survival" villain was howling and beating the "self" villain, he also had a crying face.

Obviously, the "survival" villain also knows that even if he survives, the "me" who survives will no longer be "me"!

At this moment, Locke's mind was clear.

Since "I" am destined to disappear regardless of whether I agree or not, why should I drag a billion people to death?

Locke was not a moralist. If someone gave him the Soul Gold Pearl right now, he would take it and absorb it without saying a word.

However, asking him to personally refine the souls of a billion people into golden soul beads...

Sorry, I can't do this!
Although Locke felt that his soul had undergone some wonderful changes, at this moment, he had no time to observe his own soul, but instead looked up at Ceres.

At this moment, Locke could see clearly the emotions emanating from Ceres' soul.

However, what puzzled Locke was that he did not sense any murderous intent in Ceres' emotions.

Could it be that even if I rejected Ceres' proposal, he would not kill me?
Such doubts flashed through Locke's mind, but he didn't think much about it.

After all, at this moment, he was already prepared to fall!
It's just a clone of the water god. If it's gone, it's gone!

Although I don't have affinity with other elements, the four major rules are mysterious and I can still look forward to it.

Maybe my talent for rules is stronger than my talent for laws?

In Locke's territory, a cloud of white mist enveloped Locke's holy body, completely concealing Locke's aura.

Then, Locke broke through the door of the training room and fled towards the Temple of Light.

Once Ceres in the Frost and Snow Empire attacks him, Locke can only leave the Wakanda plane through the plane teleportation array to survive Ceres' pursuit.

As far as Locke knows now, in the entire Wakanda plane, the only people who know where the plane teleportation array is are probably the Pope of Light and Ceres.

I think that if the Pope of Light were to exchange a superior artifact that he himself could not exert much power for the location of the plane teleportation array, he would be happy to make this deal.

……

Looking up at Ceres, Locke straightened his spine.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty Ceres."

"Although I have some knowledge of the soul, I have never touched upon the aspect of how to refine the soul."

"So, Your Majesty Ceres, don't even think about giving me a billion people. Even if you give me 10 billion or 100 billion, I won't be able to extract the essence of their souls."

Ceres may not care about a billion people, but he cannot possibly not care about tens of billions or hundreds of billions of people.

After all, he came to the material plane to collect faith for the Lord God.

The more faith you collect, the more merits you will gain in the Lord God's Legion.

On the contrary, if you collect less power of faith, you may have to endure some penalties.

The number of living beings in the entire Wakanda plane may be no more than 30 billion.

Among them, the Frost and Snow Empire occupies most of the habitable land and has approximately 20 billion lives.

Excluding monsters, wild beasts, and other non-human creatures, the number of humans, the number of humans in the Frost and Snow Empire, is about 10 billion.

The fact that Ceres was willing to give up one tenth of humanity to Locke to refine the Golden Soul Bead shows how generous he is.

Even with the size of the Frost and Snow Empire, it would take about fifty to a hundred years to recover.

Therefore, when Locke said this, he was sure that no matter how unwilling Ceres was, he would not dare to bet tens of billions of humans that he could refine the soul essence.

"you sure?"

"Yeah, I'm sure!"

Locke's words were very decisive.

It's just a clone of the water god!
