Chapter 1238 - 1237: I Really Am the Lord God
Tang Rao was straightforward, first letting the snake take the poison, then presenting the Elixir Pills with both hands for the Guardian Stone Snake to enjoy."Big Snake, what are you doing inside without eating or drinking, just guarding something to cultivate immortality?"
Tang Rao wandered around a large circle but still saw nothing. The snake eats grass? Impossible.
"What business is it of yours?"
The Guardian Stone Snake actually bore grudges; during its recovery, it was already in a fiery mood, and coupled with Tang Rao's chatter, the Guardian Stone Snake's temper quickly exploded.
"It's got nothing to do with me, but I just wanted to show some concern in case you've been lonely for so many years and need someone to chat with to pass the time, don't you think?"
As Tang Rao spoke another sentence, the Guardian Stone Snake's tail came swinging down again.
It seemed Tang Rao couldn't say more, so he simply found a flat place full of Immortal Energy and closed his eyes to rest.
After shutting up, Tang Rao felt as if his whole being had ascended; countless Immortal Energy poured towards him, and because his Dantian was different from others', he craved more Immortal Energy than anyone else. Especially now, since the cave itself was an excellent Cave Heaven Blessed Land, Tang Rao's speed of absorbing Immortal Energy was so fast that even the motionless Guardian Stone Snake could hardly withstand it.
"Stop!"
The Guardian Stone Snake hastily told Tang Rao to stop.
It regretted it immensely, regretting why it didn't clarify the reason for Tang Rao's visit before and still agreed to exchange terms with him.
It thought to itself, why would Tang Rao be so kind-hearted, offering such precious Elixir Pills in exchange for just a rest inside the cave?
Now without Tang Rao explaining, it could figure it out.
"I told you to stop, and if you don't, I'll kill you."
The Guardian Stone Snake threatened fiercely.
If Tang Rao continued, his life would hang in the balance.
"Wait, wait, wait, I'll stop now."
Tang Rao slowed down his absorption of Immortal Energy, but even so, the Guardian Stone Snake caught him red-handed.
"Tang Rao, this cave isn't suitable for you; you should find another place for Cultivation."
The Guardian Stone Snake even called Tang Rao by name.
Tang Rao thought this Big Snake only remembered this cave was his and didn't recall that he introduced himself when he first entered.
"Why? Didn't we just agree? Why are you suddenly going back on your word?"
Tang Rao couldn't understand why the Guardian Stone Snake was doing this.
"To be honest, I truly don't mind you resting in the cave, but the cave gathers the essence of heaven and earth, and its Immortal Energy has always been abundant, making it a great place for Cultivation over the years. However, you've depleted too much of the cave's Immortal Energy; if this continues, the cave will soon become an abandoned hole, and I can't allow you to do that."
If the cave turned into a hole, the Stone that the Guardian Stone Snake protected for years would become an ordinary stone instead of the Divine Stone people longed to seize.
"Isn't the cave able to produce Immortal Energy over the years? I've only absorbed a little; how could it all be gone?"
Tang Rao argued, perhaps forgetting he had already filled half of his space in his Dantian with the Immortal Energy he absorbed earlier.
As a man, could Tang Rao be lacking in responsibility?
No, he just had a thick skin.
"I'm sorry, but you have to leave."
The Guardian Stone Snake was not going to bargain with Tang Rao and directly announced the result.
"If I leave, you won't have the antidote. Are you sure you want to choose death while being one step away from becoming a deity?"
Tang Rao couldn't understand why anyone had so much influence that whatever they instructed the Guardian Stone Snake to do, it would do, disregarding its life.
"Yes!"
The Guardian Stone Snake replied assertively.
"I'm begging you; look, you're a snake on the verge of becoming a deity. You've protected that thing I don't know for so many years, and it's useless to keep protecting it. Why not take it and run away to live the life you want? Why waste your life on a promise?"
Trying to brainwash the Guardian Stone Snake, Tang Rao had exhausted all his life force.
"No way, I won't leave until the main deity arrives; that's our Guardian Stone Snake's promise to the previous main deity."
When the Guardian Stone Snake talked about its promise to the main deity, it suddenly felt important.
Looking across the Divine Realm, making a promise before the main deity was so sacred, so prestigious!
"Waiting for the next main deity? You say you're waiting for the main deity?"
Tang Rao's eyes lit up, even more excited than the Guardian Stone Snake.
"Yes."
The guardian snake didn't mind sharing the pride of its life with Tang Rao.
"Then how do you know who the main deity is? The main deity must have specific traits, and without them, even if they stood before you, you surely couldn't recognize them. Am I right?"
Tang Rao was confident he was right. If the Guardian Stone Snake knew who the main deity was, it wouldn't hold itself aloof and not let Tang Rao share the cave's Immortal Energy.
His words indeed stumped the Guardian Stone Snake. As the Guardian Stone Snake tilted its head and thought for a while, it realized it had only been told by its family of snakes to pass on this responsibility. Because it hadn't seen anyone for years, it only knew to guard the treasure but didn't think about how to find the destined person they were waiting for.
"The time was too long, so I forgot the person's traits, but if we don't meet this person at a fixed time, our Cultivation can't progress."
The Guardian Stone Snake discovered more brain-racking issues to consider after encountering Tang Rao instead of simply waiting for the fated one to come along.
"Let me tell you, actually, I'm the person you've been waiting for. Don't you dare not believe me. Tell me, what are you guarding that you can only give to me after you see me?"
The honest look on Tang Rao's face read 'I'm a good person,' while the Guardian Stone Snake rolled its eyes and continued to curl up like it was hibernating.
"Hey, I've been so sincere; at least give me a look, can you?"
Tang Rao insisted.
His words did not attract the Guardian Stone Snake's attention at all.
"The main deity wouldn't look like you."
The Guardian Stone Snake lazily mocked.
If Tang Rao, with his carefree demeanor, could be the main deity, then even a snake like it could rule the entire Divine Realm.
Knowing that the Guardian Stone Snake couldn't distinguish if Tang Rao was the future main deity, Tang Rao's words would never be believed by it.
"Oh, come on, I said I really am the one you're looking for. Why not ask your ancestor? Your ancestors wouldn't be as dumb as you, right? Ask them how to identify it, isn't that right?"
Tang Rao didn't initially aim for that treasure; he had plenty of treasures, and the only thing he was lacking now was Immortal Energy.
But the Guardian Stone Snake mentioned it was protecting something for the main deity, and Tang Rao wouldn't take what wasn't his. But if it was his, Tang Rao wouldn't let anyone else benefit from it.
