Chapter 591 The Divine Messenger Descends

However, the snake-man did not attack Xu Si because of his flaw. Instead, he directly asked, "Whose messenger are you? And how did you find this place?"

He seemed quite confident in his methods.

"Which sir?" Xu Si's brows furrowed slightly, and a rapidly shifting thought flashed in his scarlet star-like eyes.

He didn't answer immediately, but instead quickly went through the question in his mind.

The question asked "Which lord?", which means that the snake people assumed that the only person who could find this place by crossing the void could be another divine messenger.

In other words, did he see himself as another divine messenger?

"The God of Creation or the God of Order?" the snake-man continued to ask, seemingly having seen through Xu Si's human identity.

In less than a breath, Xu Si made a decision: to turn the tables on them.

"It doesn't matter which master I come from," Xu Si said, his voice steady, deliberately mimicking the other's slightly condescending tone, neither too arrogant to cause offense nor too humble to reveal any flaws.

His Crystal Clan disguise had long since been removed, and what was now revealed to the snake-man was his true appearance—scarlet star eyes, a faint aura of star power flowing around him, and a powerful aura that had not yet been fully subdued after absorbing the laws of the Middle World.

This aura is subtle and also highly deceptive.

"Not important?" The snake-man's lips curled into a half-smile, and his golden snakes all turned toward Xu Si as his emotions fluctuated, their hissing becoming more intense.

This is clearly a demonstration.

"Since you were able to find this place, it means you're quite capable. Why don't we join forces to deal with the newcomers..."

Xu Si understood; this guy was the first divine messenger to descend upon Earth.

The first thing he did was to hide Earth.

Even when Xu Si arrived, he did not initiate a war.

So that's what it was all about.

"Are you the messenger of the god of wisdom?" It's no wonder Xu Si had such a guess; the cunning displayed by the snake-man impressed him somewhat.

"The Dragon Remnant Clan - Si Zan," the snake-man said, showing no embarrassment at being exposed. Instead, after a brief moment of surprise, he introduced himself.

"The Dragon Remnant Clan..." Xu Si searched for the word quickly in his mind, but neither he nor Wan Liuchun had any memory of this race.

He showed no emotion on his face, only nodding slightly as if confirming an answer he had long anticipated, before stating his name: "Human race—Xu Si."

He did not add any titles, nor did he fabricate a deity's name to endorse himself.

This blank space only intensified the interest in Si Zan's eyes, giving him endless room for imagination.

The hissing of his golden snakes gradually subsided, and his snake tails swayed slowly in the void, like an eel swimming in the deep sea.

In fact, Xu Si's origins are easy to guess; he is either a messenger of the God of Creation or a messenger of the God of Order.

Regardless of which side of the discussion, everyone agreed that Xu Si should be a good partner.

He had already examined the Chosen Battlefield and realized it was practically the human race's home turf.

Although the humans participating in this divine selection are extremely weak, having an extra human companion still brings many advantages.

As for whether Xu Si will become his final rival, that depends on whether the other divine messengers agree to allow the human race to produce another deity.

As for whether his barrier could keep the other divine messengers out, he had already given up hope.

Since Xu Si was able to find this place, the other divine messengers could naturally do the same.

"Xu Si" rolled the name over and over on his tongue, the half-smile on his lips deepening slightly.

"How much do you know about this divine selection?"

Xu Si's direct purpose in using this scheme was to extract more useful information.

So he didn't care whether it was presumptuous or direct.

Because he found that Si Zan was an extremely direct person, who didn't mince words or beat around the bush.

Si Zan's snake tail swayed slowly in the void, and the strands of those small golden snakes all turned towards Xu Si, as if scrutinizing him.

He did not answer immediately, but instead stretched out a hand and gently touched the air with his fingertip. A star map-like projection appeared on the semi-transparent, multicolored barrier, with countless points of light flickering within it, some clustered together and others hanging alone at the edge.

"Chosen by God? We're nothing but pitiful worms under the adults' control!" Si Zan said, and Xu Si was somewhat shocked. He seemed uninterested in this Chosen by God.

Do you think someone who has failed can become a god?

Xu Si had thought about this question before, and the answer was no.

"That……"

Why would a deity go to such lengths to send out divine messengers?

"Don't you humans have a saying, 'One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand'? That saying should be changed to 'One god's rise to power is the death of ten thousand races!'"

Si Zan seemed to have a very clear understanding.

"If that's your assumption, why did you participate?"

"Why wouldn't I participate? Of course I'll participate!"

Si Zan looked at Xu Si as if he were an idiot. When did these so-called divine messengers have any choice?

No matter how high their rank or how strong their power, they are like ants before the gods.

If one does not ascend to a divine position for a day, one remains a mere ant for the rest of one's days.

"How about the collaboration?"

"With our combined strength, intercepting the other divine envoys shouldn't be too difficult. Even if things don't go smoothly, with this magic array of mine, we can easily spend thousands of years in peace here!"

"At that time, they will receive offerings all day long, not as gods, but even more so!"

It's clear that Yizan seems to regard this place as his private domain.

Xu Si now has no doubt that Si Zan is the messenger of the god of wisdom, because this guy is just too clear-headed.

She knows exactly what she wants.

Xu Si originally thought that the so-called divine messenger had only one purpose, which was to ascend to the divine position.

But now he feels he was being a bit too simplistic.

How could a level nine life form be so brainless? They can think, calculate, and make choices just like everyone else.

And the present example is Si Zan.

All of Xu Si's previous positive perceptions of the divine messenger were shattered at this moment.

He originally thought that the divine messengers descended to Earth to compete for the qualification to become gods, a life-or-death elimination competition, but the picture presented by Yizan was much more naked.

"So you used this magic array to hide the battlefield of the chosen gods, not to prevent other divine messengers from entering, but to control the pace of their entry. One by one, kill them."

The golden snakes covering its head emitted a series of fine hissing sounds, as if they were laughing.

"Talking to smart people is so much less effort." His snake tail slowly coiled in the void, the tip of which gently tapped the multicolored barrier, stirring up ripples.

But he also had his own calculations, if these losers still had even the slightest chance.

He felt that the opportunity lay with the other losers.

What if he devoured all those who were no weaker than him?

Is there still any possibility that he could possibly attain a divine position?

Although he spoke so eloquently, how could he remain calm in the face of the temptation of a divine position?

Then, a barely perceptible glint of greed flashed in his eyes as he looked at Xu Si, before vanishing instantly.
