Hearing Syrinx's question, Matthew just shook his head and smiled. "I think you already know the answer."
"I hope I didn't guess wrong." Syrinx smiled, too.
She did not care about Matthew being disrespectful to her. To be honest, as the inheritor of Hades, Matthew was the new generation of the main god and was much nobler than her, although this new main god was still weak and almost anyone could kill him easily.
"Then you can rest here for a few days. I need to make preparations for the transmission array. You may also digest the information left by Hades. Oh, by the way, feel free to stay here. You can enjoy the scenery of our planet." Syrinx said meaningfully. After she finished her words, she disappeared in front of Matthew.
Matthew didn't know about this planet. Nor did he know what Syrinx meant.
Shaking his head, he sat cross-legged on the ground. He was thinking about the two choices that Syrinx had just given him.
The first one seemed to be safe, but he would always live under the supervision of Syrinx.
Other people might think this was a good choice. However, Matthew came from the modern world, and he was a man pursuing freedom.
He had not that much reverence for the gods.
Furthermore, Matthew believed that if devouring the main god's divinity could enable the middle-level god to advance further, Syrinx would not hesitate to kill him.
Staying here was like staying with a time bomb every day.
The second option seemed to be dangerous, but it suited Matthew well.
The inheritance of the main god was known all over the world. He couldn't live on the earth and had to go to outer space.
All in all, if he wanted to be more powerful, he must grow up in wars. And the enemy would help him grow up quickly.
An eagle sitting on a cliff never placed its body on a branch. What it believed in and depended on was always itself.
Only after going through hell-like torture could he have the power to conquer heaven!
Soon, Matthew made up his mind.
He calmed down, used his mind to motivate the main god's divinity, and digested the information in the inheritance."
...
Academy of Dead.
In a scarlet hall.
"What a good-for-nothing you are!!"
"You got there first and are stronger than him. But you failed to bring the boy back! Don't you think you should atone with your life?"
"And you were even defeated by a newly awakened boy!"
"Why did you have the cheek to come back and report to me?"
An angry voice came from the hall, accompanied by the cracking sound of porcelains.
The guard at the door was taken aback, and he stood straighter than usual, for fear that God of Death would find faults with him and venting his anger on him.
It was glorious to let his master vent anger on him, but the price was his life. It was not worth it.
In the hall.
Wu Ning knelt on his knees with his head against the floor, trembling all over. He dared not to move even though some porcelain and heavy things were thrown at him.
Because in front of him was his faith, the supreme God of Death, Thanatos!
Just like his stone statue, Thanatos was wrapped in a red mist, making it difficult to see his face clearly. But anyone could know that Thanatos must be extremely angry at this moment.
"My Lord, I'm sorry. I deserve to die!" Wu Ning said in a trembling voice.
He didn't make an excuse to say that Matthew's strength was a little weird after he gained the divine inheritance.
If he said this, Thanatos would kill him at once without mercy!
Leaders only cared about the results. They didn't care about the process.
"You do deserve to die." Thanatos sneered but did not get carried away by anger.
"Since you dare to come back to me alive, you must have a backup plan."
"Say it and give me one reason why I shouldn't kill you."
"Yes." Hearing this, Wu Ning breathed a sigh of relief. Since God of Death gave him another chance, he must ensure that his backup plan could save his life.
"Before Matthew was taken away by the deacons from Academy of Forest, I planted a blood mark on his body. As long as he goes out of Mount Ten Thousand, I can feel his breath."
"At that time, without the protection of Goddess of Forest, I will certainly bring Matthew back to you!"
Blood mark was a skill passed down by Thanatos.
The blood mark could be put on a cultivator's body secretly. If the cultivator was less powerful than the skill caster, he would never find it.
To save his own life, Wu Ning could only bet that Goddess of Forest would not help Matthew exorcise the mark.
"Just pray Syrinx the b*tch won't find the mark." Thanatos snorted and said coldly.
Judging from Thanatos' tone, it seemed that he ever suffer losses because of Syrinx.
Blood mark was passed down by himself, so he naturally knew its efficacy.
The most important was that once the cultivators' strength reached Diamond level, he could go to outer space and stay in his own Star Domain.
Wu Ning was of Platinum level and would reach Diamond level soon. If Thanatos killed him, the strength of Academy of Dead would decrease a lot.
Of course, all this assumed that Syrinx would not help Matthew remove the blood mark.
"Get out of here."
"Yes."
Hearing this, Wu Ning was relieved. It was not until he stood up that he found that he was wet with cold sweats...
...
Time flew.
It had been five days since Matthew arrived at Mount Ten Thousand.
The news about the inheritance of the main god spread crazily and attracted the attention of people all over the world.
The issue had polarized public opinion.
Some believed God of Death's words that Matthew gained the inheritance from abyss demons. They thought only this possibility could explain why a newly awakened student could defeat a Platinum-level deacon. And they insisted that Matthew be killed.
Some believed Goddess of Forest's words that Matthew's inheritance from the main god was unprecedented, and it was normal that something unexpected happened.
At Mount Ten Thousand.
Since Matthew sat cross-legged, he had been digesting the memories in Hades's divinity except for eating.
Hades lived a so long time. It cost Matthew five days to digest one percent of the memories. It was the result after he abandoned much useless information.
Although it was only one percent, Matthew was deeply shocked by the information as if he had found a new continent.
The information he got included Hades's understanding of herbs, the understanding of various monsters, some fighting skills, the reasonable use of the 'Qi', 'spirit' and 'Void' in the body, and so on...
It could be said that with his knowledge, Matthew would be taken as an old monster who lived countless years regardless of his young look.
"Matthew, the Goddess is calling for you. She said that the transmission array was ready."
At that moment, a clear female voice came from outside the door.
"The array is ready? I can't wait to see it..." Matthew murmured.
