Chapter 727 Containers and Projections

"A god like me, although I hold 'authority', possesses great power."

"But in the end, we are restricted by the 'rules' and cannot appear in the world."

"It can only rely on the method of 'projection' to temporarily walk through the world, influence living beings, and thus continue to exist."

"And 'projection' is divided into two types."

"The first method is to directly open a channel and forcefully lower the 'projection'. This is quick and easy.

"The only limitation is that breaking the rules requires a lot of energy, so usually only gods with high status and abundant power will use it."

"The second method is to use the 'container' to select a target like you and slowly lower the 'projection';"

“There are many restrictions and it’s easy to go wrong, but the consumption is almost negligible.”

"The more a 'container' is in line with the power of 'projection', the 'better' it is, and the best of them are qualified to be called 'perfect containers'."

After finishing his words, the black fog giant paused for a moment, as if waiting for Lu Li to respond.

The latter pondered for a moment and nodded to himself:

"Got it, it sounds like I'm pretty good."

"Then the next question is, who are the seven children of Abhoth?"

This time, before the Black Mist Giant could speak, the black-green substance called Abhoth suddenly spoke, screaming excitedly:

"The demon god who controls the seven primordial powers... the Holy Lord you call him!"

"All their strength comes from me. I created them!"

"But they, they imprisoned me here and completely cut off my connection with the world!"

"If the connection between the gods and the mortal world is cut off, will they die?" Lu Li looked at Abhos curiously:

"But I see that you seem to be in good condition, and you can even jump and swear."

As the conversation deepened, Lu Li found that the noise that gave him a headache had almost disappeared, and his tone was no longer as serious as before.

Become playful.

"Then you don't know what he looked like before." The black fog giant who called himself Eternal Night took over the conversation, speaking jokingly:

"He was a very powerful person back then. He held the power of blasphemy and darkness, and could even confront the divine head-on!"

"Oh, I see..." Lu Li nodded and asked the last question:

"Then why can I easily deal with seven demons?"

Hearing this, the black mist giant suddenly fell silent and no longer gave an immediate answer as before.

After a long while, he replied in a low voice:

"Because I can allow you to 'disguise' yourself as a 'holy vessel', thereby gaining the power to counter 'blasphemy'."

Seeing that Lu Li seemed to be thinking about the deep meaning of it, the black fog giant Yongye urged anxiously:

"I won't hurt you."

"You should know that you are the perfect vessel that I have found with great difficulty. If anything happens to you, I will also suffer a huge loss."

"You haven't completely lifted the 'seal' yet?" Lu Li keenly perceived the hidden meaning behind the words and said directly.

Yongye paused for a while and said vaguely:

"Whether my 'seal' is lifted or not actually has no big impact on you."

"Because no matter what kind of gods they are, they cannot appear in the mortal world. The only ones who can come are 'projections'."

“Give me an example in a way you can understand.”

"It's like an ant can crawl on thin paper, but a human will break the paper with one foot."

"Whether I am still sealed is actually a question of whether my legs are still tied with ropes."

"It doesn't stop me from waving my arms and casting shadows on the paper."

"I understand." Lu Li raised his eyebrows:

"So in order to make your connection with the world closer, I must continue to become stronger so that I can better meet the standard of a 'perfect vessel'."

"That's right." Yongye's slightly impatient tone revealed deep joy, as if a hard-working teacher had finally taught his stupid students a lesson.

Little did they know that Lu Li changed the subject:

"It seems like I was working for you and taking risks for you from the beginning to the end."

"So what benefit can I get from this?"

Yongye seemed to be prepared for this and answered quickly:

"You can become stronger!"

"In order to ensure the stability of the perfect container, I need you to be extremely powerful!"

"Isn't this what you're after?"

"Indeed." Lu Li nodded in agreement.

"If I'm not mistaken, the power you gave me should be the innate ability of [Soul Devouring]."

"Then why didn't you communicate with me before?"

"With your clear guidance, I will become stronger much faster."

The eternal night uttered a sneer,

"I couldn't communicate with you before because your power was too weak."

"Once you have devoured Abhoth, I may be able to communicate with you directly in the mortal realm."

"Okay, I also want to become stronger." Lu Li grinned and showed a happy smile.

He looked at the still inflated black-green thorn ball and asked casually:

"So is his current state also a projection?"

"No, he is the real body." Yongye smiled again and said with an aggressive tone:

"Ants can also eat humans, as long as the premise is met that humans cannot resist."

"You devour him in this consciousness space first, and then we will go out and deal with his projection."

"Hey, that's great!" Lu Li happily moved towards the black and green thorn ball.

Upon seeing this, the latter's spikes on its body stretched, contracted, and squirmed, as if it could attack at any time.

Yong Ye seemed to be worried that Lu Li would back down, so he added:

"Don't worry, he can't hurt you with me here."

"Can the 'projection' also affect the 'main body'?" Lu Li deliberately slowed down his pace and turned back to ask curiously.

However, Yongye did not answer his question directly.

He just said vaguely:

"That's thanks to his seven good children."

"If you don't weaken his body so badly, a little ant like you won't be able to hurt him at all."

Lu Li didn't pay attention to Yong Ye's irrelevant answer, but continued to ask questions:

"Then he is at least a god. Can I bear to eat him?"

"Of course I can't bear it." Yongye said with a smile:

"But I will help you store his power, and then feed it to you little by little."

"I understand." Lu Li turned his head back and continued to move forward.

Abhoss realized that the young man seemed to really intend to act according to Yongye's instructions, and immediately screamed anxiously:

"How can you be so stupid? Don't you know that Yongye is lying to you?!"

"He said he wanted you to be stronger so that he could strengthen his connection with the world. In fact, he wanted to..."

Before Abhos could finish his words, Lu Li directly activated [Soul Devouring].

In the space of consciousness filled with gray haze, black fog violently surged out of the young man's body, turning into countless black threads, and fiercely stabbed at the wriggling black-green substance!

The spikes on the surface of Abhoth did not provide any defense at all, and it quickly deflated like a deflated balloon.
