But he was indeed somewhat interested in what the latter wanted to say, so he asked calmly: "So?"
"So I want to tell you a secret."
After a pause, Nyarlathotep smiled and said, "It doesn't cost anything. Do you want to hear it?"
Jiang Lu pondered for a while: "I'm not someone who likes to take advantage. Secrets need to be exchanged. I will exchange an equally important secret with you based on the secret you provided."
"Okay." Nyarlathotep was very satisfied.
Although he was not interested in the secrets Jiang Lu said in exchange, it was not inconsistent with his true purpose.
All he needs is for Jiang Lu to show even a hint of greed because of what he is going to say next. Then he can follow Jiang Lu's human weakness and sacrifice part of his old origin, force him into Jiang Lu, and change his appearance. A new body runs away.
With this in mind, he spoke after careful consideration:
"In the end, the war in the underworld will evolve into a war of gods. At that time, the gods of both warring parties will recreate the Twilight of the Gods in Asgard. At that time, countless gods will become ownerless things. Any Everyone has the opportunity to take it, and I think you may need this."
Hearing this, Jiang Lu suddenly felt a little strange. He had heard about the war in the underworld from many people, but each of them only said that there would be a big change when the time came. As for what it would turn into, there was no People can give definite answers.
In other words, they may be aware that extremely serious consequences may occur, but no one dares to say that the gods will fall, let alone Ragnarok.
And the most important point is that I don’t know if the god is strong or not, but it is really difficult to kill.
How cruel must it be for so many gods to die?
And how could Nyarlathotep be so sure?
Jiang Lu smelled a hint of conspiracy and asked, "How did you know."
"Because that was the original plan."
Nyarlathotep smiled: "Everything is going according to my plan now. If I are sealed, maybe the situation in the future will be a little different from what I thought, but it won't hurt.
The stage has been set, and the final outcome will not change. "
Jiang Lu was stunned: "Did you push all this?"
"If I don't push it, others will push it. In other words, this is bound to happen. People in the underworld urgently need to compete for faith. The underworld is the relatively weakest world of gods, so it is undoubtedly the best target."
"You still know about the underworld?" Jiang Lu said suspiciously: "You instigated it, right? Are you also a failed art student?"
"No no no."
Seeing Jiang Lu's questions getting deeper and deeper, Nyarlathotep naturally thought that Jiang Lu had fallen into a trap, and corrected him somewhat proudly:
"Don't say it so harshly, I just gave some suggestions, and the Lord of the Underworld happened to adopt my suggestions."
Jiang Lu ignored it and just said to himself with some disappointment: "I believe it just because I say it, what kind of idiot are you?"
Nyarlathotep did not know Jiang Lu's identity, so his complaints could only be regarded as Jiang Lu's disdain and contempt for the Lord of the Underworld in his mouth.
This is exactly what Nyarlathotep wants to see.
Good, arrogance is good. The more arrogant a person is, the bigger his character flaws are.
But to his surprise, at this point, Jiang Lu had no intention of going deeper into the topic.
He suddenly changed the subject:
"Well, now it's time for me to share the secret."
Nyarlathotep was stunned, and subconsciously looked at the dozens of gods gathered in the distance and the magic circle that was about to be completed. Although he was impatient, he had to nod patiently:
"You said."
Jiang Lu smiled slightly: “It seems that Yihewudi never trusted you from the beginning to the end.
You are the one whose feelings are being played with! She has only coveted your power from the beginning to the end!"
Nyarlathotep's eyes widened suddenly, and the shame that was several times stronger than when he just learned that he had been cheated suddenly flooded into his heart.
He couldn't let Jiang Lu reveal his flaw, but he broke through the defense first.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
He told himself not to be angry because he still needed to rely on Jiang Lu to escape from here.
But just when he was about to bring the topic back to the large number of gods that would appear after Ragnarok, Jiang Lu put him on the ground.
"Have you got your mind set on me?"
Jiang Lu, who is awake in the world, said with a wicked smile:
"You've been talking about it nonstop since just now, do you want me to help you get out of trouble?
Oh, no, they are right next to me. I definitely can't do this, so they probably want me to be seduced by the godhead. You take the opportunity to do something bad, right?
Sorry, all I can say is that I don’t want that kind of cheap godhead given to me.
You can cling to your stinking silver godhead and be complacent for the rest of your life. After all, you are in the advanced stage of STD, why don't I obey you? "
Ignoring Nyarlathotep, who was so angry that he wanted to kill someone after a brief period of unconsciousness, Jiang Lu responded to the signal from Nodens who had already constructed the magic circle, turned around and left without any hesitation.
He chanted leisurely and contentedly:
"Xie is basically invincible, why do we need to borrow his godhead again?"
......
Nyarlathotep was sealed by Nodens.
When he was sealed, he kept spitting and cursing Nodens and Jiang Lu.
Even though he was now unable to resist, the remaining power still frightened the gods who had been destroyed by him in the Sleeping Labyrinth.
On the contrary, Nodens and Jiang Lu, who were the targets of venting, were not affected.
The former is used to being cursed and reviled by Nyarlathotep.
The latter are used to being cursed and reviled.
It's not that aggressive anyway.
After that, Jiang Lu had an equal dialogue with the rescued gods and ordered them to re-fix new anchors as soon as possible and establish contact with Hybril.
Because most of the gods were saved by Jiang Lu, they were very friendly to him and had no objections.
But there are also a few gods who feel that Jiang Lu is a mortal and not worthy of asking them to do things.
However, after Jiang Lu moved out of Nordens, the minority obeyed the majority.
In order to nail down a new anchor point, after the gods helped seal Nyarlathotep, they left the dreamland one after another. In the end, only Jiang Lu remained.
He didn't leave because he needed to discuss the underworld war with Nodens.
As the biggest helper so far and the person most likely to influence the situation of the battle, Jiang Lu did not hide his reasons regardless of emotion or reason.
Nodens was also quite surprised when he learned that Nyarlathotep was suspected to be behind the war in the underworld.
He had been paying attention to the other party's actions, but he didn't expect that he would do so many things in private.
It can only be said that he is in the light and the other party is in the dark, so he does have many natural disadvantages.
As for his attitude towards the war in the underworld, Nodens was not as positive as Jiang Lu imagined.
He made it clear that he would not be involved in the Dreamland and the struggle with the Outer Gods and the Old Ones, but he also promised that if there were still Outer Gods or the Old Ones appearing, he would rush to the battlefield as soon as possible.
In other words, if it was just the underworld and the underworld, even if a god really died because of it, he would choose to stand aside and watch.
Although Jiang Lu was a little disappointed, he also believed that this was understandable. After all, Nodens was focusing on higher-level battlefields, and if he acted first, then the possible outer gods or the Old Ones who might have been dormant in the dark would also be there. Will take action.
So thinking about it this way, it is better to let the underworld and the underworld solve it by themselves, maybe the chaos caused will be smaller.
Regarding the sealed Nyarlathotep, Jiang Lu also asked him if there was any possibility of escaping.
In this regard, Nodens clearly stated that this is possible.
It would be okay for him to be in charge of the Great Abyss for a short period of time, but when the Outer Gods collectively recover, someone might come to rescue him, and the situation then will be hard to say.
But Nordens is not too panicked, because Nyarlathotep is not the only outer god, and Nordens is not the only ancient god.
Nodens didn't panic, and Jiang Lu didn't panic even more. The sky was falling and there was still a tall man holding it up. He couldn't get involved in something of this level for the time being. He might as well think about regaining his strength and taking it back to the underworld as soon as possible. thing.
It is now known that there will be a large number of unowned godheads in the underworld war, so even if you have the leverage to get new subordinates by then, the only remaining question is how to get them.
All in all, it sucks, but it's good.
Just like that, Jiang Lu lived and ate in the Great Abyss for a few days on the grounds that he wanted to check the time everywhere in the dreamland. Then one morning, when the construction of the last anchor point was completed, he saw a hint that he could escape. After that, he quietly left without saying goodbye.
When he woke up again, Jiang Lu was already in his bed.
This time should be the longest time he has been in the spiritual realm, and it is already dawn.
Huang Xiu'e squatted lazily on the window sill and licked her hair, as if she had no special feelings about the trip to another world.
After rubbing her head, Jiang Lu summoned the panel and began to check the harvest.
