Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Chapter 777 Hidden Rules

Ye Ge frowned slightly.

I failed to exploit the bug...

It seems that even after severing their connection with the gods, priests still cannot surpass the gods and reach the boundary of those who wield divine power.

And I never expected this protection mechanism to be so terrifying.

These people of all races who became priests and believers of the gods must have been given something like a demonic curse mark on their bodies while receiving the power bestowed by the gods.

If a priest harbors any improper thoughts and attempts to peek into the power of the laws of the gods, he will be punished by his soul.

"Phew..." Ye Ge let out a breath.

Just now, if Qinglong Laodeng hadn't pulled him out in time, his soul might have been seriously damaged.

"Looks like the bug exploit failed..."

Ye Ge clicked his tongue and scratched his face.

Gao Shenxue remained silent, looking down at the data that had just been sampled on the tablet screen in her hand.

She felt that it wasn't a complete failure.

She felt that the energy data sampled just now was still worth considering.

Since instantaneous data can be collected, it means that the gathering of divine power should still be achievable through technological means.

It's just that the gods have set up a barrier, making it not so easy to overcome.

'If this data could be copied...'

'Perhaps we can rely on technology to utilize divine power like soul power and magic power, creating weapons that utilize extraordinary energy, similar to magic energy guns and soul energy guns.'

Gao Shenxue lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought.

......

Ye Ge returned to her room.

Her clothes were soaked with sweat, and she was exhausted. So, after returning to her room, Ye Ge took off her clothes, filled a hot tub, threw in a Star Tear, and then soaked herself in the steaming hot bath.

"Gulu gulu..."

Yege submerged himself in the pool of Star Tears, closed his eyes, and kept recalling the scenes he had just seen in the consciousness of the Mist Dragon Priest.

Those suffering... lives? Souls? Or... what exactly are they...?

Why do those things make people feel so uncomfortable?

"The gods..."

Ye Ge leaned against the edge of the bathtub, muttering to herself.

"Hey, is Qinglong Laodeng there?"

"..."

After a few seconds of silence, Qinglong Laodeng's voice came: "Why did you call me?"

"Do you think the gods are merciful?" Night Song asked leisurely.

Azure Dragon: "...You're talking nonsense. If they are merciful, I will write Azure Dragon's name backwards."

"And what about you?" Ye Ge paused. "You are known by later generations as one of the four sacred beasts that guarded the East in ancient times. Are you benevolent?"

"..."

Qinglong remained silent for a long time.

"Later generations always tend to exaggerate legendary things. In the end, all living things still yearn for faith and fantasize about the existence of perfect and supreme justice in the world."

The Azure Dragon Elder paused for a moment: "Just like you humans, the younger generation often praises the achievements of their predecessors, trying to portray them as perfect and virtuous. They only present themselves as flawless, causing their reputation to become false and losing their true nature."

"..." Ye Ge smiled and said nothing more.

I don’t know how long it took.

"Phew..."

The sound of wind blowing in from the balcony of the room.

A graceful figure entered the room silently.

Ye Ge was enjoying a comfortable soak in the steaming starry bath when he groggily opened his eyes a crack. Through the haze, he saw a beautiful woman in deep red leaning against the wall next to the bathroom, arms crossed, staring at him expressionlessly.

Who else could it be but Flame Princess?

"..." Ye Ge said awkwardly, "No... I was taking a bath, did you have to show up so suddenly and startlingly?"

The Flame Demon Lord glanced at him coldly: "What, you're embarrassed?"

"What's there for me to be embarrassed about?" Ye Ge said nonchalantly.

He then glanced outside again: "However, with you coming here so frequently lately, I hope you won't get into any trouble. The other three Demon Lords of the Demon Clan are all eager to find something to use against you. Be careful not to be targeted."

"Do you think I would make such a basic mistake, unable to even clean up the mess?"

The Flame Demon Lord snorted lightly: "Are you still going to spend time with your obedient disciple tonight?"

"Oh, no." Ye Ge smiled slightly. "I've already told her I have something to do tonight, I'll spend time with her another day. After all, I promised you..."

"Then let's begin." Yan Ji said coldly, her crimson demon lord robes turning into countless streams of light as the demonic flames burned, and then she strode towards Ye Ge.

Night Song: "???"

"Well, at least let me finish soaking first... um..."

"No, at least set up a barrier first!"

......

Yege once again experienced the terrifying power of this demon woman.

Yan Ji finally understood why Ye Ge dared to promise to repay tenfold last time.

I don't know how much time will pass...

Yege and Yanji nestled together, resting against the headboard.

Yan Ji closed her eyes slightly, her eyebrows furrowed, and her cool face rested on Ye Ge's shoulder, her stunningly beautiful face filled with exhaustion.

This demon woman, who usually presented herself as cold and domineering to the outside world, was now like a kitten that had finally tired of playing, obediently snuggling up to her master, just like an ordinary little woman who depended on her husband.

Such an expression is almost impossible to see on this strong-willed demon woman.

"You'd better be careful lately." Yan Ji tilted her head and leaned on Ye Ge's shoulder, then suddenly spoke softly, "The Light Alliance and the Five Elements Priests have their eyes on you."

Ye Ge raised an eyebrow: "Targeting me? Are you referring to my imprisonment of the Mist Dragon Priest, or to the All Races Summit?"

"The Summit of All Races," Yan Ji said slowly. "In the resource competition a few days ago, your human race has already seized too many resources with the help of genetic weapons. Resources that should not have belonged to you have all been taken by you."

Ye Ge smiled and said, "Shouldn't it be ours? Isn't the Myriad Races Summit a competition for resources, with the winner taking all the benefits? How can there be any argument that it shouldn't be ours?"

Yan Ji explained, "This was originally an unspoken rule. In previous All Races Summits, many resources were actually predetermined for the top 30 races."

Ye Ge raised an eyebrow immediately: "Oh?"

Is there such a thing?
