Virus King - Chapter 374

Chapter 374: Chen Bai refused to initiate or respond to contact! Han Xiao Is Curious!

TL: YYang

Looking at the message sent by Han Xiao, Chen Bai blinked.

As for Rika’s reason for contacting him, he had already guessed a little.

However, he really didn’t want to have too much interaction with that Blood Moon Lady.

After all, Chen Bai didn’t know what kind of thoughts the Blood Moon Lady harbored.

Although in most cases, Chen Bai considered himself under the protection of the Abyssal Will, the Authority of the Abyssal Overlord was also tied to the so-called “Absolute Priority.”

That said, during the Abyssal Trial, this Absolute Priority conflicted with his Time Hourglass. If the Absolute Priority were truly as absolute as its name implied, such a situation wouldn’t have occurred, would it?

Clearly, if certain True Gods possessed similar items, his life would inevitably be under threat when the time came.

Thus, although Chen Bai often acted fearlessly when dealing with these True Gods, if he weren’t cautious, he would be failing the decades of diligent effort he had put into surviving the apocalypse in his previous life.

And as for having contact with Her Excellency Lilith?

What sort of contact could there even be?

To form an alliance with this Blood Moon Goddess of Hell, the Lady of Blood?

To make her his spy?

The Divine Wars of gods weren’t so easily manipulated!

If Hell were integrated into the Abyss and became the 600th Layer of the Abyss, the many Demon Kings of Hell would undoubtedly be affected.

For these gods wielding Authorities, such an impact would be something they absolutely did not want to see.

And truthfully, reclaiming Hell was something Chen Bai was destined to do. But did he currently have the strength to support such an endeavor?

Not to mention participating in the Divine War that might erupt as a result—he needed at least enough power not to be wiped out by the aftermath of the battle.

Otherwise, when that terrifying Divine War swept across the multiverse, garnering the attention of all worlds, Chen Bai would be in a world of trouble.

Hence, if Rika came to find him, even to White Emperor City, so be it. He would just deal with her perfunctorily. But to proactively lead her to himself was definitely out of the question.

So, in response to Han Xiao’s inquiry, Chen Bai chose a relatively reliable reply:

[Bai: Help me refuse to initiate or respond to contact! And if she asks about White Emperor City, just tell her I’m not there!]

[Han Xiao: Ok!]

But thinking about it, did Rika ever enter the God and Devil Trial Grounds in his previous life?

Now, with all the chaos he had stirred up in Hell, Rika’s arrival wasn’t surprising. However, would the other Hell Sovereigns also take notice and shift their focus to him? And would this make the God and Devil Trial Grounds especially lively during this time?

No, the chaos in Hell would undoubtedly further impact countless deities across the multiverse.

The Abyssal Ripples had already been difficult to suppress before, and now, combined with the events in Hell, the gods across the multiverse would surely take notice.

Under such circumstances, he would undoubtedly become the undeniable center of the storm.

It seemed inevitable that many gods would reach out to him!

Fortunately, with the Cosmic Will providing protection in the God and Devil Trial Grounds, his situation wasn’t something to be overly concerned about.

The Cosmic Will forbade True Gods from descending in the early stages of the God and Devil Trial Grounds. Even projections were not allowed.

In the entire multiverse, only special deities like Redo, who bore unique Authorities, could be recognized by the Cosmic Will and descend into the God and Devil Trial Grounds.

Even then, they could only descend in Projection Form and were forbidden from actively attacking any living beings.

Redo was an exception; other gods would undoubtedly be the same.

For instance, deities like the Dark Mother Goddess Helrose, who also sought benefits in the God and Devil Trial Grounds, faced immense difficulty in extending their influence into the Trial Grounds.

However, Chen Bai was already aware of Helrose’s actions. It was nothing more than the Black Building’s emergence.

Chen Bai didn’t have the time to deal with that matter for now, but he would have to find an opportunity to delve deeper into the Black Building and explore the so-called Tower of Night.

He needed to uncover what kind of schemes were at play between the ancient God of Night, who had been asleep since ancient times, and Helrose.

Was Helrose truly dismantling the Authority of Night from the God of Night, intending to fully claim the Authority of Night as her own?

After receiving instructions from Lord Bai, Han Xiao felt completely reassured. He firmly locked his blood-red gaze on the other side of the building.

His quick-tempered younger sister was clearly no pushover. The flying swords she had acquired in the Sword Tomb of Mount Shu wouldn’t pose any real threat to her!

And indeed, as expected.

Compared to Han Xiao’s Devil Bloodline, Rika’s power was undoubtedly more unique. At that moment, two blood-red bat wings suddenly unfolded from her back.

With a single flap, a blood shadow shot across the sky like a comet!

“My foolish brother, I’ve acknowledged your strength! To grow to this level in such a short time proves that you aren’t as weak as I imagined. So now, tell me the whereabouts of that existence, and I’ll let this matter rest!”

Rika didn’t attack again. She hovered in the air, her wings flapping rhythmically, and spoke indifferently.

Han Xiao chuckled softly. “Lord Bai just told me he has neither the mood nor the time to see you or that so-called Lady of Blood!”

“You do know him?!” Rika’s eyes narrowed slightly. Her beautiful face showed a furrowed brow, completely covered with displeasure.

He didn’t want to see her?

Han Xiao, however, revealed a trace of curiosity in his eyes.

In fact, he had always been curious.

What exactly was Lord Bai’s strength and identity?

Leaving aside everything else, last time, the System Mission Prompt alone was enough to reveal the level of Bai’s status and power.

But in such a situation, his troublesome younger sister was one thing. Why did that Blood Moon Goddess, the Lady of Blood, care so much as well?

And most importantly, how could Lord Bai so casually refuse to initiate or respond to contact?

What was hidden behind all this?

Thinking about it, Han Xiao couldn’t resist asking:

“Why are you so eager to find Lord Bai? What is it that you or Zepar want so badly? And who exactly is that Blood Moon Goddess?”
