Chapter 591: Method 267: A Green Light All the Way_Part 2
"Why can't I go to the Central Temple?" Zhou Baiyu insisted on getting a clear answer.
Indeed, the other party, with their mind overwhelmed by the contamination species, hadn't given a single thought to whether the person standing before them was really a member of the God-like figure's organization.
However, being able to appear here, with an aura that made one feel kinship, it was likely they were not an enemy.
"Are you role-playing with me? You're playing the role of a new recruit to the temple, right? Hehehe... I love it!"
"Then let me play along as well, to add some flavor."
The spherical chunk narrowed his eyes into slits, eying Zhou Baiyu's body with a lewd smile.
"Who wouldn't want to feel the Supreme God Statue's baptism up close? But even if you are a disciple of the five gods, without sufficient merit, you can't get close enough to worship the statue!"
"That's the rule, my beauty. Usually, only by continuously hunting the purifiers and trading the heads of powerful purifiers can one earn the right to approach the temple."
"As for entering the temple, hehehe... it's impossible. Did you think you possess a divine artifact of the gods?"
Zhou Baiyu paused for a moment.
The information provided by this contamination species was precisely what he needed.
Zhou Baiyu's initial plan was to disguise himself as a contamination species and then play out a scenario like Cao Cao presenting a sword.
Use the divine artifact of the gods as bait to enter the pinnacle. He was just not sure if it was feasible.
Now everything was fine; the other party's words had essentially confirmed that a divine artifact of the gods was indeed the ultimate pass.
"I serve that lord... but I cannot tell you who it is. I can only tell you that the lord is waiting for me, aware that I was to arrive today. And indeed, in my hand, I possess a divine artifact of the gods."
The Orator trait greatly enhanced the persuasive power of Zhou Baiyu's words, saving him a lot of time and bypassing some verification steps.
Upon hearing the true ownership of a divine artifact of the gods, shock appeared on the spherical idiot's face:
"You're... telling the truth?"
"If you're willing to help me send the message, I will mention you to that lord."
As he spoke, Zhou Baiyu took out the divine artifact of the gods—the Eternal Laughter.
He dared not use the Dream of Void carelessly as it held Mark captive.
But the Eternal Laughter obtained in the sky island could indeed be used as bait.
Even if they had never seen a divine artifact of the gods, as a contamination species, they would naturally feel reverence for the aura emitted by it.
Looking at the object in Zhou Baiyu's hands, the spherical fatso exclaimed excitedly, "I'm Bobby! Thank you! My friend! Forgive me for my frivolous attitude towards you at first!"
"Oh great God of Stench and Caress! This is truly a divine artifact of the gods, isn't it? It's real, right?"
Bobby had no thoughts of snatching it.
Indeed, no contamination species dared to cause trouble within the range of the Pantheon.
While the Pantheon spread corruption and contamination outside, it was actually very disciplined within its walls.
That wasn't the main point—the main point was:
Zhou Baiyu had mentioned that the lord was waiting for him.
Heaven knows which lord that was, one of the five supreme rulers?
If that were the case, he was already delaying the divine messenger's delivery of the treasure.
He nodded frantically:
"Come with me! You come with me! I'll take you the shortest route! I dare not aspire to accompany you to the peak, but please allow me to accompany you to the lower tier of the Divine Pillar! Just let me say the word, it's not a difficult matter."
Although this fatso was sleazy and disgusting, at least, his brain wasn't the best, and he had distinctive features, marking him as someone who could be recognized immediately within the Pantheon.
He was highly suitable to be used as a "key."
Naturally, on the way, they would encounter various checkpoints, but as long as he had this fatso along with the divine artifact of the gods in his own hands, getting into the peak wouldn't be difficult.
Just as long as he didn't run into any high-ranking contamination species prematurely.
"Okay, you must keep your distance from me. I will promise to let you go to the base of the Divine Pillar."
Regarding the Divine Pillar, Zhou Baiyu didn't know what it was.
But he guessed that the super massive Corruption Tentacles, comparable to the World Tree, might be the Divine Pillar.
"Honor! Honor! Forgive me for speaking lightly of you at first! Actually, I... I was just enhancing my divine power, it's a kind of cultivation, you know."
"Lead the way."
"Do you need me to keep you company with conversation, even if it's from ten meters away?"
Bobby deliberately kept his distance from Zhou Baiyu.
As long as the distance wasn't too close, the effects of the disguise could be maintained indefinitely.
Zhou Baiyu nodded:
"I have been searching for the divine artifacts of the gods recently, and finally did not disappoint the trust of that lord, but there are many things that have happened recently that I am not aware of. You can tell me about them. Speak truthfully."
"Of course, of course! I will tell you everything honestly."
Bobby was thrilled; the more he helped, the more likely the other party was to speak well of him to "that lord."
That lord must be one of the five supreme rulers, right?
Was it Karlando, or was it Lechter?
Such excitement.
In his excitement, Bobby rubbed his hands together and said:
"We were all thinking, after the recent big event, it might be very difficult to enter the peak in the future. Most of us get into the peak by—"
"—hunting purifiers, but purifiers can no longer appear now."
"Because the cycle of sealing has begun. Hehehe, truly the greatest seal! Although we can't go to the Central Temple at the peak, at least, in the future this world won't have any more annoying purifiers."
