Chapter 360 The Fiery Gem Appears, Zhongli's Bet

After he turned it to its maximum, he turned and focused his gaze on Ying.

"Why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?"

Just after Ying finished tidying up the bag of snacks in Xiukuttel's hand, she noticed Xunfeng's staring gaze.

So, she tilted her head with a puzzled look on her face, and then tentatively touched her face.

"Ying, is there a gem on you?"

"Hmm...wait, what?! How did such a mysterious thing as a gemstone end up on me?"

Ying shook her head as she earnestly took out the package and showed all the items inside.

The next moment, a red stone instantly caught everyone's attention.

"Huh?! When did this stone appear in my bag?"

Ying looked at the uninvited stone and instantly questioned the meaning of life.

However, after recalling and sorting out her past experiences, Ying slowly understood some things, and then she began to speculate.

"This stone... not long after I met Paimon, I encountered Barbatos and Dvalin, and then I came across this red stone. But... I remember this stone was Dvalin's tear, wasn't it? I already used the stone to purify Dvalin back then, so why is it still here... Could it be..."

"If I'm not mistaken, Barbatos probably put it in your bag when you weren't looking. The two are very similar, so you assumed its existence was reasonable without thinking about it further."

Xunfeng went along with it and offered his own conjecture.

"Wait a minute, I have a question! Why does Barbatos have a fire gem in his hand?"

Completely bewildered, Walnut raised her little hand and asked a question.

“Good question. Barbatos and Hibarak were once friends. Since Hibarak was prepared to die fighting the Fire Dragon King, he should have given the gem to Barbatos.”

After thinking for a moment, Xunfeng gave his answer.

"It seems that Morax had already arranged everything and explained many things to his colleagues."

"In that case, our guest advisor's reliability truly exceeds my expectations."

After saying that, Hu Tao clapped her hands with satisfaction.

at the same time.

Inatsuma, castle tower.

"Raiden, Baal, how have you been?"

Zhongli slowly walked to the desk, sat down, and began to speak.

"Morax, it's been a long time. You sensed something from here, didn't you?"

After saying that, Zhen lowered his head and casually touched it, and a dazzling purple gem reappeared.

“Five hundred years ago, you kept the truth about the gem you possessed from Shadow because you were afraid she would worry about you going to the Nibelungen ruins alone? According to the contract, I will keep it a secret from her, but I have also come to some conclusions.”

"Morax, what do you want?"

"Baal, the resurrection of the Nibelungen requires the sacrifice of lives, and you—in fact, you are the reincarnation of the Ruler of Life. Although I am the God of Contracts, I have now abdicated my divine position. For the sake of Heliseg, I choose to gamble on this possibility. I am quite certain that you are the previous incarnation of the Ruler of Life. What I am betting on is that... when Heaven encounters a situation where life cannot be reversed, if it sees you, it will subconsciously send its ruling power to you."

"Am I the ruler of life...? But the word 'gamble' coming from your mouth is rather novel. Although I have this suspicion as well, well... for the sake of a bright future, I'll gamble with you."
