That was the instinct of life.
Loreinna looked deeply at this notorious god and did not say anything.
She was still hesitant toward the credibility of the god of deception, but she respected her lord’s decision. She would unconditionally obey Richard.
Tai Long went much calmer towards Loreinna. He only glanced at her once before he looked away.
To him, an existence at the transcendent level. It was inconspicuous.
The god of deception looked at the battlefield where the battle went on, and his gaze lingered on the corpses that gradually melted into the rotten swamp for a long time.
In the end, he exclaimed.
“Revitalized land! The planar power had fused with this piece of land. What a brilliant method.”
“Not many people can do it. Not even a god can! Lord Richard, you’ve found a treasure!”
It was quite a breathtaking complement.
Richard asked curiously, “Even His Excellency Tai Long can’t do it?”
The god of deception shook his head.
“The fusion of the planar power with the earth would require a generous, in-depth understanding of the Edicts of Life… I can’t.”
Tai Long added.
“Although the gods have more or less come into contact with the Edicts of Life, it is too rare for them to reach this level.”
“The Edicts of Life?”
Richard was curious.
“Isn’t this the power of the god of creation?”
“That’s right. But the disappearance of the Creation God had opened the rule to all gods, and all gods could come into contact with it…”
His tone was slightly regretful.
“But there aren’t many gods proficient in this because they are too scattered.”
Richard understood.
However, when Richard thought about the origin of the Dwarf God, he was not surprised.
That short and imposing existence had stepped into the river of fate before.
They didn’t talk much about this topic and continued to talk about serious matters.
“Your Excellency Tai Long, please, help me conceal the aura of the rotten swamp…”
Richard also had a powerful skill like Concealment Power, but it could only work on himself or the troops around him. He could not conceal the rotten swamp and the spatial rift behind him.
He couldn’t stay here forever, even if he could.
The god of deception nodded and looked at the central area.
Richard hid the rotten crimson blood ball underground. That seemed to be nothing to Tai Long.
“Next, don’t let anyone disturb me…”
Tai Long finished speaking.
He slowly closed his eyes.
Light energy surged around him in all directions in the next second.
Undetectable subtle changes immediately appeared in space wherever it passed.
The faint Blood Mist distorted after he spread to the top of the rotten swamp. The closer it was to the center, the more the changes intensified.
Then, to Richard’s surprise, the troops that fought in the rotten swamp unconsciously avoided the central area.
It was as if an invisible wall had blocked their way.
Then, the Blood Mist surged and blurred the spatial rift that opened the holy land and the spatial slit in the underground world.
The whole process was surprisingly short. Deception God opened his eyes again in less than ten minutes.
“I’ve already concealed this area… One wouldn’t detect that the rotten swamp was a revitalized land except for the demigod creatures.”
“I have also concealed the gate of the holy land.”
Richard looked at the two areas and frowned.
“Your Excellency Tai Long, why can I still clearly sense their existence?”
The god of deception laughed.
“Because you’re their lord… I would need to consume more than a hundred times more divine power than I do now if you wanted me to conceal them from you. Now, I can’t do that for the time being.”
Tai Long further explained.
“I used the Deception Divine Power to fuse the core of this land with the swamp. The life aura is already difficult to distinguish.
“Moreover, divine power will cause outsiders subconsciously ignore and avoid that area when they approach it…This evasion was subconscious, and even transcendents couldn’t resist it.
“Only those above transcendents can spot some clues.
“No one could deliberately attack the swamp after one concealed the signs of life of the living earth.
“I used the same method to create the spatial rift in the holy land… I allowed the spatial rift to fuse into the swamp and use the violent aura to cover the loss of spatial power.”
At this point, the god of deception revealed some pride.
“Not many gods can compare to me in concealing this domain, although I’ve lost most of my power.”
Richard thought of the man’s reputation and nodded in agreement.
It was impossible to muddle along to the point where even its believers wouldn’t trust if not for his demonstration of generous ability.
That was a deeper level of desire in awe. The god of deception still existed despite being so weak and having such a terrible reputation. He wasn’t simple.
Richard looked at the silver-haired, silver-eyed vampire archduchess beside him.
“Loreinna, go and check if you can still sense the aura of the rotten swamp…”
Loreinna nodded silently and immediately flapped her broad, malevolence-filled dark red bat wings to fly into the swamp.
The Blood Mist on the swamp greatly affected vision and perception.
However, the rotten swamp did not restrict Richard as the lord of the land. He could even sense any area in the swamp if he wanted to.
Loreinna flew into the swamp and moved towards the central area.
She was stuck in an arc several times before she got close to the central part. That caught Richard’s attention. She had never been able to get within a hundred meters of the rotten crimson blood ball.
