636: Chapter 688 I'll give you another chance!

Aman's words caused Xu and the other demigods to curse him countless times in their hearts.

They cursed his Snake Race to perish, cursed him to have no descendants, and so on.

Demigods were rare creatures; would anyone ever complain about having too many?

However, as soon as that thought surfaced, the demigods looked at the others present.

Over a thousand demigods.

The collective aura of demigods here was enough to nourish low-end organisms, allowing them to quickly develop intelligence.

It seemed... there really were quite a lot.

Xu and the other demigods felt a bit of a breakdown.

Was the era developing too fast?

Just a few days ago, demigods were a scarcity, but now they were as common as cabbages.

They felt a sudden sense of being in a different world.

One demigod, terrified that An Ke would take Aman's advice, hurriedly stepped forward and said:

"Ex—Excellency..."

This demigod found it difficult to address An Ke as "Excellency."

Since becoming a demigod, he hadn't used such a respectful title for anyone in a very long time.

"As for demigods, the more the merrier."

"If you kill us, there will be no one to help support you at the top."

"That's right!" The other demigods also stepped forward one after another, beginning to persuade An Ke.

Even though they felt a bit guilty about the words they were saying.

For example, they claimed the value of a demigod was immense.

If An Ke spared them, they promised to put their lives on the line.

However, these words made everyone feel hollow inside.

With so many demigods present, did he really need these few?

Furthermore, all the demigods present were Sequence 7, which was even higher than some of their own sequences.

But value was something that had to be boasted about.

As long as they boasted beautifully and made it sound pleasant enough to make An Ke feel comfortable, their lives might be guaranteed.

As for erupting in a desperate struggle against An Ke...

Don't be ridiculous.

Inside An Ke's New World, they didn't even have a chance to escape.

A fight to the death would only result in being trapped here until they died.

Secondly, An Ke had just killed those disobedient, posturing demigods—wasn't that just killing the chicken to warn the monkeys?

They didn't dare to act out in the slightest now.

The demigods rattled off a long list of things, mentioning every bit of self-worth they could think of.

Fearing An Ke wouldn't be satisfied, they were even willing to reveal the locations where cores were stored within their mansions.

These demigods didn't have a way like An Ke to directly turn cores into origin.

Due to their different characteristics, they could only absorb and fuse with some origins.

Therefore, they would store unused cores within their mansions.

Firstly, they served as rewards for the mansion.

Secondly, it was to show the players, ensuring their loyalty.

At the back of the crowd.

The players from the Realm Domain Mansions watched the demigods bow and scrape, all of them exchanging looks of disbelief.

Some of these demigods were the very ones from their own mansions.

In the past, they had been arrogant and aloof.

It was almost impossible for the average person to even see them.

And if they did, they had to perform a kneeling salutation.

But now...

At this moment, the players felt nothing but pure admiration for An Ke.

They tried to recall exactly how long it had been since An Ke entered the Civilization Game.

It seemed like it was a week ago.

Or was it half a month ago?

Everyone had forgotten.

It couldn't be helped; the Civilization Game had no night, only an eternal orange-yellow daylight.

Plus, since everyone was already a mid-to-High-Sequence Organism, they didn't need rest.

So, people really didn't pay attention to such things.

In any case, it had been a very short time.

So much had happened in such a short period.

An Ke had even ascended to the position of the head of all demigods.

The players felt nothing but sighs and deep emotions in their hearts.

On An Ke's side.

He just smiled after hearing the demigods talk about cores, supplies, and treasures in their mansions.

He had no interest at all.

"These supplies and cores might have interested me half an hour ago, but to the current me, they hold no interest whatsoever."

Upon hearing this, the demigods' hearts skipped a beat.

They felt that they were finished.

Thud, thud!

One by one, the demigods knelt before An Ke.

Their faces were sincere, and tears streamed down their faces.

"Lord!"

"By showing us mercy, you are accumulating merit."

"If we die, the civilizations behind us will collapse."

"Yes! Lord!"

"We have nothing left to move you."

"We only hope you can let us go for now; once we leave the game, you can kill or punish us as you wish."

"..."

An Ke looked at this group of demigods.

They no longer had their demigod-like bearing and had reverted to their original appearances.

After all, it would be impolite to display a demigod's posture in front of An Ke now.

"Excellency..." Wu stepped forward, intending to speak on behalf of the demigods.

Even though they had all been enemies before.

They had, after all, known each other for so many years.

If An Ke killed them all, he would still feel a bit of lingering pity.

"At this critical juncture, I hope you can stay your hand."

"As for how to decide their fate later... is that possible?"

After a pause, Wu seemed to think of something.

"Consider it as me agreeing to the Soul Swap with you; give me some face."

An Ke laughed. "Why would I need to give you face?"

"Wu, do you think I owe you a favor?"

"What I am trying to save right now is this very universe."

"How could you ever repay the favor you owe me?"

Wu was immediately speechless.

He lowered his head and stopped speaking.

Indeed, against the backdrop of An Ke saving the universe, no favor could ever be repaid.

As long as An Ke truly saved the entire Ordered Universe.

All life in the entire universe would owe him a debt of gratitude that could never be repaid.

Xu and the other demigods looked despairing.

They felt that this was the end.

However, they didn't even have the thought of resisting now.

They just knelt there, silent.

An Ke took all of this in.

He felt that he had demonstrated his power enough.

When he was influencing the demigods earlier, he had noticed something.

That is, although he could influence creatures with divinity.

The effect of the influence was somewhat small.

For example, someone like Wu.

In the past, at the same level, as long as An Ke exerted influence, the other party would be absolutely respectful.

They would obey all his orders and follow his words to the letter.

But Wu had just acted to plead for mercy.

Logically speaking, this should not have happened.

An Ke guessed that it was likely because his 'Natural Affinity' had not yet reached completion.

Under these circumstances, the ability to influence those with divinity was limited.

Therefore, An Ke had to make Xu and the other demigods completely devoted to him, without daring to have the slightest thought of resistance.

As for killing them.

An Ke wouldn't do that.

Because killing them would only increase the disorderly origin in the real world.

It wasn't worth it.

With the previous demigods, An Ke had no choice but to act.

They were troublemakers.

If they weren't eliminated, it would be easy for problems to arise later.

But these demigods here had not even entertained the thought of resistance up to this point.

This showed that they weren't troublemakers and were easy to control.

In the silence, he continued to exert pressure on the demigods.

The demigods knelt on the ground, suffering immensely.

Their lives depended entirely on An Ke's whim.

And amidst this oppression and despair, An Ke spoke slowly:

"Very well! Seeing as you are kneeling, I will give you one more chance..."
