Chapter 241 : Talking to God
At the altar ruins.
Lin Mo maintained his posture of turning back to look, his muscles tensed, and his spiritual power surged like a tide towards the back of the broken mural.
However, there was nothing there but cold rock and darkness.
That ancient and vast voice did not come from the present world.
"You are very interesting." The deity's voice rang out again, devoid of emotion, yet containing supreme Intimidation.
"On you, I feel a power entirely different from that 'little snake'." The voice paused, as if savoring something.
"I cannot see through you. You are extraordinary."
Lin Mo's gaze grew colder. He was not swayed by the deity's words.
He forced himself to calm down, his mind racing, analyzing the current situation.
The opponent was a "deity," and its strength undoubtedly surpassed his, at least his current self.
To confront it head-on would be a fool's choice, with no chance of victory.
"Who are you?" Lin Mo slowly spoke, his voice steady, betraying no hint of nervousness.
"I?" The voice seemed amused by the question, letting out a soft chuckle.
"Names are meaningless to me. Your words cannot describe even a fraction of me. But if defined by your shallow understanding, I am… God."
"God?" Lin Mo's lips curved into a barely perceptible arc. "Since you are God, why hide and not dare to show yourself?"
The voice fell silent, lasting for a full dozen seconds.
This momentary silence made the surrounding air feel several times heavier.
Then, its voice sounded again.
"Haha… ignorant provocation. This is merely temporary. If not for that fellow, I would have already descended into the present world."
The deity's tone shifted, filled with temptation, "I can feel that deep within your soul, there lurks a yearning for 'greater power'."
"Come, child."
"Accept my gift."
"As long as you open your soul, I will bestow upon you unimaginable power. Then, you will transcend the limits of mortals, become my agent in the human world, and dominate everything in this world!"
Accompanying its solemn declaration, the surrounding environment underwent drastic changes.
An indescribable energy began to permeate the air, appearing as a deep purplish-black, viscous yet agile.
The broken murals also began to tremble violently, their surfaces glowing with an eerie light.
Streams of extremely pure energy converged from all directions, attempting to surge into Lin Mo's body.
This power was too tempting.
Lin Mo could feel that as long as he relaxed his mind even slightly, even just for a fleeting thought, these energies would instantly pour into his limbs and bones.
Any person with an extreme craving for power would likely lose themselves instantly and choose to accept this heaven-sent power.
However, Lin Mo's gaze remained clear, even carrying a hint of disdain.
"Your power?" He scoffed, unhesitatingly using his own aura to repel all the approaching energies.
"It sounds very good indeed, but I refuse."
Lin Mo slowly raised his hand, a wisp of golden energy dancing at his fingertips.
The golden light was warm and pure, forming a stark contrast with the sinister purplish-black energy around it.
The existence of the [System] was his greatest trump card.
As long as he had enough emotion points, he could continuously grow stronger, continuously surpass his limits.
He didn't need any "gifts" of unknown origin.
"As for becoming the strongest in the world?" Lin Mo's eyes gleamed with absolute confidence. "Isn't that just a matter of time? You don't need to worry about it at all."
"…"
The deity's voice once again fell silent.
It seemed even it hadn't expected anyone to refuse such a great temptation.
"Why?"
Its voice finally carried a hint of emotional fluctuation.
"Why?" Lin Mo shook his head and continued, "Do you really take me for a fool?"
"If I accept your power, I'll probably just become a puppet controlled by you, won't I?"
He looked up, his gaze seemingly piercing through layers of rock walls, directly at that ethereal existence, and said, word by word:
"Moreover, I don't need your charity. I have my own path to walk."
"Hahahahaha! Hahahahaha!"
The deity laughed again, but this time its laughter carried a hint of cold killing intent.
"An interesting variable."
As its voice fell, a mighty spiritual Intimidation suddenly descended!
The entire spherical space trembled violently, and countlessbrokenstones fell from the collapsing dome.
Lin Mo felt as if his soul was clutched by an invisible giant hand, about to be crushed!
But he still stood tall, looking coldly into the depths of the darkness.
"Stop bluffing!" Lin Mo growled. "If you were truly that powerful, why would you waste so much breath on me? You would have directly struck me down already!"
During the conversation, he had been probing the other party with his spiritual power.
This spiritual power was indeed vast and boundless, powerful to the point of despair.
However, it lacked a core.
It was like an boundless ocean, yet its source could not be found.
"You are not the main body at all, are you?" Lin Mo pointed out incisively.
"At most, you are just a spiritual projection left here, or rather, a wisp of residual will!"
As his words fell, that terrifying spiritual Intimidation actually paused.
"…"
The deity fell silent once more.
After a long while, its voice slowly sounded again.
"You are very clever. Much cleverer than I imagined."
"Indeed, this is not my main body."
It admitted frankly.
"But so what?"
"Soon…"
"Soon, I will be able to descend into the present world!"
"By then, the entire world will tremble beneath my feet! And you will be the first to taste what true despair is!"
As its voice faded, the ancient and sinister aura within the entire altar space receded like a tide, disappearing without a trace.
Everything returned to its initial calm and dead silence.
Lin Mo stood still, closed his eyes, and carefully sensed for a moment.
After confirming that the will had completely left and left no hidden tricks, he slowly exhaled a turbid breath.
He turned, no longer looking at the darkness, and began to walk back the way he came.
His steps were still steady, but only he knew how much mental energy the previous confrontation had consumed.
"Descending into the present world, huh…"
As he walked, he murmured to himself in a voice only he could hear, a battle-ready smile curving his lips.
"I'm waiting."
