THE GOD EATER

Chapter 1145: Stealing The Business.

Upon hearing Tepid Scholar’s words, Loki smiled and said, "Good choice."

"Just one quick question. Where did the Farming Supreme Metac come from? I have never heard of it before."

Tepid Scholar said, "It is not a secret. It belonged to the Farming God. He and the Human Emperor were allies of the three Cosmic brothers in the war we fought to decide the fate of the Sea of Worlds."

"It is clear that they lost," he said with a short laugh. "The Farming God was killed by me, and I took his Supreme Metac as my spoil. I have been planning to fuse with it for a long time. But now a better use has come up for it."

"So, that’s how it is," Loki said as he nodded in understanding.

Then he said, "All you need to do is swear an oath on your Dao, and I will bring what you want."

This time, there were no tricks to deceive Loki. Tepid Scholar swore the proper oath on his first try, so there was no delay in executing the deal.

A rift opened in the sky of the Blessed Heaven World, from which a phantom hand brought a large white and black book. The phantom hand was the exact kind that had killed Loki many times in the past. Now he was the one producing it.

On the receiving end, Tepid Scholar sent an avatar. His avatar was the same scholarly young man of the Formation Pathway. And just like last time, Loki created an avatar to make sure that nothing went wrong.

As it turned out, it was a good idea that he assumed the worst in the other Dao Lords and prepared for it because Martial Will openly admitted to it.

The Dao Lord of the Martial Body Sect grumbled, saying, "If I wasn’t so sure that I couldn’t defeat his avatar, I would have taken action by now."

"Me too," Heavenly Eye said in agreement.

"Me too," she said again for emphasis.

Clearly, the sight of so many good things changing hands was too much for her to bear. Unfortunately, she had no way to partake in the exchanges by force.

Her avatar couldn’t defeat Loki’s avatar, so using force was out of the question. If she dared to do so, she would only lose both her avatar and the item she wanted to take by force.

’Frankly, he is asking for too much. If I were to exchange all of my four pathways, it still wouldn’t be enough for one Cosmic Dao.’

’And even if all four pathways were Grand Dao, I have too much time and effort invested in them to give up on them for one Cosmic Dao,’ she thought in frustration.

Her strongest pathway, for instance, is the Truth Pathway, and it has already reached four stars in one godhead. Therefore, even though it is a Grand Dao, it is providing her with 84 units of divinity.

To give up on three Grand Daos that have reached four-star celestial level like that is to give up on 252 divinity and lose those three pathways, only to have to start again with an unfamiliar Cosmic Dao.

’Even if I immediately reach four-star celestial in the Cosmic Dao, I will only get 108 divinity from it. It won’t be worth it in the short run. So he is being greedy.’

Just earlier, she refused to believe that Loki would exchange a Cosmic Dao for three Grand Daos. But now that it had been proven that Loki could indeed give up a Cosmic Dao, she felt that Loki was being greedy.

At the end of the day, she could only say to Martial Will, "Don’t you have that Blood Pathway that you took from the Human Emperor? How much do you want for it?"

In response, Martial Will said, "My answer has always been the same: I want a compatible pathway of equal value."

"I have the Berserker Supreme Metac," Heaven Eye offered.

"Hmm," Martial Will began. "It is good. But it is a Minor Dao. It is not good enough for my Major Dao."

"How about this? If you make the exchange, I swear on my Dao Heart to help you gain the Divine Spark of the Blessed Heaven after it advances."

When Martial Will heard this, he became silent. Clearly, he was interested.

After spending some time thinking about the offer, he said, "You have a deal."

"You will not regret this," Heavenly Eye said in excitement.

But Martial Will scoffed and said, "I won’t regret it only when you swear a stringent oath. Anything less is playing with fire."

Heavenly Eye only rolled her eyes in response to being called distrustful and unreliable. She ignored his words and said, "I swear on my Dao Heart and my Dao to do my best to help Martial Will become the Mountain Lord of Blessed Heaven Divine Mountain if he exchanges his Blood Supreme Metac with my Berserker Supreme Metac."

"Alright. That’s good enough. When do you want to make the exchange?" Martial Will asked her.

"Soon," she replied. "But we have something else we need to do first."

After she said this, she explained her plan to Martial Will. Martial Will was satisfied with her proposal, so they went along with it.

Since the oath had been struck, they could proceed with sealing the deal. However, they didn’t make the exchange directly. Instead, they spent some time employing the Will of the Blessed Heaven World as their middleman.

After the Will of the Blessed Heaven World agreed, Heavenly Eye sent down her Berserker Supreme Metac to the world, while Martial Will sent down his Blood Supreme Metac to the world. Then the Will of the World performed the exchange.

Loki was watching on the side, and he didn’t like what he was seeing. It was clear to him at a glance that these two were stealing his business. It was business that he set up with his blood and tears, so it hurt him to see it get stolen.
