"Forget it. I'll drop the act and negotiate with you instead."
Meng Lei tossed the Chief God divine core in his hand up and down and said dispassionately, "I'm actually the one that had placed this Chief God Divine core here to attract cash cows like the lot of you."
"Why did you do that?"
The eight Great Perfection deities' expressions changed drastically. An awful sense of foreboding suddenly came over all of them.
"To kill all of you, of course!" Meng Lei broke into a grin and said, "My finances have been rather tight recently, so I can only make you guys the sacrifices now."
"To kill us?"
As if they had just heard the funniest joke in the universe, the eight Great Perfection deities burst into raucous laughter upon hearing Meng Lei's reply.
"Kill us? Who do you think you are? A lofty Chief God high up above?"
"That's right!"
