Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal?

Chapter 926: Cooperation and Win-Win

"Oh?" Chen Huaian was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, then felt a sense of familiarity. "So you are also a 'Deceased Wife Battle God'?"Hades: "..."

What kind of bizarre nickname was that?

"My wife died in a hunt by another divine system. Her divine ring and divine bones were stripped away, yet the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings, as the highest order of the Divine Realm, turned a blind eye to this matter."

Hades's eyes were filled with profound sorrow.

"I have always wanted to avenge my wife, but my strength was insufficient.

I was unwilling to throw myself at the flames and die at the hands of the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings...

I could only torment myself day and night, thinking of ways to become stronger.

But for a deity to develop subordinate deities, they must pass a Divine Trial. This is a rule set by the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings, and it is also their means of restricting deities and preventing divine systems from growing stronger."

As Hades poured out his story, the air around the entire altar became icy, gloomy, and filled with a killing intent.

Chen Huaian could hear the love Hades held for his wife and the hatred he harbored for those Gold and Silver Dragon Kings.

"The Gold and Silver Dragon Kings ordered me and the Fire God to cultivate Tang Er, with the goal of killing you.

At first, I didn't care much, I was just a little curious about what kind of existence could make the Golden Dragon King personally issue orders and go to such great lengths."

Hades's gaze fell upon Chen Huaian and Li Qingran, distant and profound. "It wasn't until you entered Demon Tower City, which is within the range covered by my divinity.

I watched your battle in the arena.

Only then was I convinced you were not natives of this world.

If my speculation is correct... you should come from a higher-level world, right?"

Seeing the expectation in the God of Death's eyes, Chen Huaian nodded.

"Correct, we come from a place called the Cangyun Realm.

The Cangyun Realm is a major world, while the Canglan Realm is an affiliated miniature world of the Cangyun Realm.

She is This Venerable One's wife, who came specifically to the Canglan World for training.

This Venerable One originally did not follow, but due to certain circumstances, I ultimately also arrived in this world."

Getting the answer he wanted, Hades breathed a sigh of relief. "Just as I anticipated, you indeed come from another world.

I also thought perhaps only power from another world could truly kill the Golden Dragon King.

After all... the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings control the various gods, but they might not be able to control you."

By this point, the intention was as clear as day, obvious to everyone.

The God of Death wanted to cooperate, and Chen Huaian naturally wouldn't refuse.

It wasn't because he pitied this 'Deceased Wife Battle God'; mainly, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Since the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings wanted to move against him and Li Qingran, he had to prepare countermeasures in advance.

And the God of Death might be able to provide assistance to him and Li Qingran.

"Truly two old loaches..." Chen Huaian murmured to himself.

The Gold and Silver Dragon Kings must have reached an agreement with the Heavenly Dao of the Cangyun Realm.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have coughed up the reward of the Million-Year World Ring before.

"Still harboring secret resentment towards the Cangyun Realm's Heavenly Dao and the White Sword, is it?"

Putting himself in the perspective of the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings, this resentment wasn't hard to understand.

After all, those two had been tyrannizing the Canglan World for so many years.

The appearance of the Cangyun Realm's Heavenly Dao and the White Sword was equivalent to kicking them into the mud.

Outwardly they fawned, but in their hearts they must deeply resent the Cangyun Realm's Heavenly Dao and the White Sword.

If this hatred was directed at the Cangyun Realm's Heavenly Dao and the White Sword, that would be one thing, but these two were actually cowards, only daring to pick on the easy targets.

Without a doubt, he and Li Qingran were the easy targets in the eyes of those two old loaches.

"So then?" Chen Huaian looked up at the God of Death. "You don't actually think the current This Venerable One has the ability to oppose the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings, do you?"

"Naturally not." Hades shook his head. "You are currently strong... perhaps you were even stronger in the past, but right now you are still not enough to threaten the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings.

So..." Hades spread his palms. "We must cooperate!

I heard you are searching for Million-Year World Rings, and I can bestow upon you a Million-Year World Ring.

However, due to the restrictions imposed by the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings, you must pass a Divine Trial to avoid being detected by them.

Furthermore, the number of Million-Year World Rings each deity can bestow is limited. I can help conceal your identity and assist you in participating in the Divine Trials of other deities, thereby obtaining more Million-Year World Rings!"

Hearing this, Chen Huaian felt a surge of joy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

What Hades said was exactly what he currently needed most.

What had been troubling him was this: after accepting Deity A's trial and receiving Deity A's god-bestowed Million-Year World Ring, his body would inevitably carry Deity A's divinity. So, how would he explain that when encountering Deity B?

Could he tell Deity B—'I have his scent on me'?

The other deities were not fools; they certainly wouldn't let him freeload from everyone.

"Participating in Divine Trials is no problem." Chen Huaian immediately agreed to the God of Death's request. "But how will you help This Venerable One conceal my identity?"

A mysterious smile curled on Hades's pale face.

He raised his scythe and pointed towards the direction of Tang Er's corpse.

Death divinity, like black mist, converged towards Tang Er. Soon after, a hoarse cough sounded from Tang Er's corpse, and then, like a marionette, he stiffly and slowly climbed up from the ground with rigid movements.

"I control death divinity and can conceal Tang Er's death.

Unless the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings investigate carefully, it won't be easy for them to discover Tang Er's condition.

I will use Tang Er to buy you as much time as possible.

And you only need to continuously pass Divine Trials to obtain Million-Year World Rings."

Chen Huaian raised an eyebrow, his deep gaze withdrawing from that hollow-eyed marionette, and looked at the God of Death with a faint, ambiguous smile.

"You're planning to entrust your back to me? Aren't you afraid that after This Venerable One obtains the Million-Year World Rings, I might turn around and sell you out to those two old loaches?"

Upon hearing this, the ghostly flames hidden beneath Hades's hood flickered slightly.

His gaze shifted between Chen Huaian and Li Qingran, finally turning into a low sigh.

"It is not your sword I trust, but your love."

Hades's voice carried a desolate and resolute empathy born of shared experience. "A person who, for the sake of his wife, would cross world barriers, even willingly assume such a soul-body form, would never be a two-faced betrayer.

A person capable of such profound love possesses his own bottom line and pride.

In this regard... we are of the same kind."

Chen Huaian let out a noncommittal light chuckle.

Of the same kind?

Perhaps.

If anyone dared to touch his disciple, he would definitely make them understand what it meant to have both their divine soul and body utterly annihilated.

"Deal." Chen Huaian's flying sword traced a clear, cold Sword Flourish in his hand before he casually sheathed it.

"Since we are now grasshoppers tied to the same string, doesn't that mean this so-called God of Death trial can have some... shortcuts?

How about just arranging a simple, pro-forma task to go through the motions?"

Hearing this, Hades let out a burst of hoarse laughter that vibrated through the thick death energy surrounding them.

"Naturally! Although I cannot directly violate the iron laws set by the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings, within these rules, I am the one who decides."

Hades's Death Scythe drew a strange rune in the air.

"This first trial of the God of Death will be absolutely simple!"
