"Yes…"
The Snake Dowager's voice was melodious.
"To have a being like you among my descendants is my luck and also my misfortune. But since the bloodline origin has already been taken from me, it will be of no use to be entangled with you."
"So it seems that you have a method to resolve this?"
Leylin was evidently ridiculing her, but the Snake Dowager didn't seem to feel it.
"As long as you assist me in seizing the Shadow World, I can write off all the previous incidents in one stroke and even help you to become the other origin of the Ten Thousand Snakes. Together, we can share the power of the Shadow World."
The Snake Dowager bit her lip as though she was making a huge sacrifice. Such a lovely and pitiful posture would make any male creature go crazy.
Leylin, however, was not enchanted by her graceful bearing.
Instead, he was astonished at how fearless the Snake Dowager was.
"Seize the Shadow World? Mighty Snake Dowager, you have such an enormous appetite!"
Leylin drew in a deep breath and at the same time, also recalled an intelligence report regarding the Snake Dowager.
Shadow World was one of the larger Worlds in the Astral Plane that was able to accommodate even peak Rank 8 Beings of Law.
It was a world very suitable for people who were comprehending the Law of Shawods or already comprehended it or had Bloodline related to the Law of Shadows or similar Laws.
In fact he was tempted to agree because, with his newfound power, he was confident that as long as he advanced to Rank 7 on the fused Path of Law Godhood, he would have a tremendous advantage over other Beings of Law.
"But that's right! You initially made use of shadow force to cultivate your own laws and form paths of laws; hence you would covet the Shadow World more than anyone else. You tried to capture the entire Shadow World in ancient times, but unfortunately, you failed…"
The Path taken by Rank 8 beings was to exploit some kind of medium, continuously refine their own Laws, and form a Path that was exclusive to them only.
If one was able to achieve this, they would reach the Peak of Rank 8!
And to reach Rank 9, one needed to fuse all Laws together to form the Path. Such was the information he got from the Longinus Dreizhen Orden.
The Snake Dowager's previous attempt failed; thus, she had no choice but to migrate out of the Shadow World along with her descendants and arrive at the Purgatory World.
But the origin of the Shadow World was crucial for the Snake Dowager to achieve the peak of rank 8; therefore, she couldn't give it up.
"The Shadow World is right now occupied by an extremely powerful peak Rank 8 Being who constructed something akin to personal territory on the top of her control over the world, right?"
For the first time during the meeting, Gu Long spoke as Snake Dowager's expression morphed to anger because she wanted to keep this thing a secret. This information was new even to Leylin, who looked at Gu Long and grinned when he saw Snake Dowager looking pale.
'It seems that she wanted to trick me...'
He sent a telepathic message to the Dragon Prince.
'Yes, under the contract, she would have forced you to go as Rank 7 Being and probably try something later. She reminds me of my brother's wife... cunning vixen.'
Gu Long answered back as he looked at the Snake Dowager warily.
"It seems that we must excuse ourselves from this endeavor... Snake Dowager, as you certainly understand, the situation is very grave... and it is not worth of it."
Leylin said to her because even if he wanted to attack and take the Shadow World, he would do it alone or ask for the assistance of someone who wouldn't be searching for a moment to backstab him as soon as an opportunity presented itself.
The moment the words left his lips, he could feel the surrounding space come to a standstill. The Snake Dowager's beautiful pupils nearly became as narrow as a straight line as a horrifying sensation dissipated from the ball of snakes.
Leylin, however, was not fearful. The gigantic Nāga phantom appeared behind him and started hissing at the Snake Dowager in anger.
Gu Long released another roar as he unleashed his full aura of Godhood and Laws, ready to fight as his own Bloodline refused to submit to some random worm it deemed inferior.
Seeing this, Snake Dowager could only grudgingly choose to reach a compromise.
"My descendant, the Nāga! And Dragon! You may put forward another request!"
The Snake Dowager's voice had a hint of helplessness. Her eyebrows, which were slightly knitted, were especially heartbreaking to see.
"The power of this charm she uses incessantly is really…"
Leylin smiled wryly to himself. Her seductive powers were produced naturally, just like the aura of Warlocks, and had extremely high potential. However, Snake Dowager's position also made him fall into a state of contemplation.
She seemed really sincere right now, but if his own safety couldn't be guaranteed, Leylin definitely wouldn't partake in this plan and Gu Long warned him that she couldn't be trusted.
Though the Dragon Prince looked at Snake Dowager intensively without breaking eye contact, for a second, Leylin feared that he had fallen for her charm, but the situation was different.
If he could actually form an alliance with the Snake Dowager and form a friend from foe, it would be of great help. After all, he had only truly offended very few Beings of Laws, and the Snake Dowager, and the Nefarious Filthbird.
He didn't count Beelzebub because he was already thoroughly done for, and he could only wait for Leylin to wrap up the loose ends, not to mention that he was in the World of Gods.
Even with his current power, it would still be troublesome if they decided to disregard any decorum and pursue him to the end of the world.
If such a situation happened, the sole thing he could do was to coop up in the Magus World and wait until he was strong enough to protect himself.
