Chapter 1570: Strange Creature.
The guards also moved to protect him from the Tyrants by calling on their strongest force to man the wall. The wall began to glow. It enhanced the power of the demon lords into demon kings and made demon kings capable of using the wall to resist demon gods or Supreme Origin gods.
The Tyrants saw this and gave up on the Tree Father. However, that's not the end of trouble for him. The fact that he was being chased by the Tyrants doesn't mean he is not a spy for the Tyrants.
Tyrants don't need spies for them to create problems for the land of hope. They can just waltz and cause trouble. However, spies can create a lot of problems for the land of hope, so they have to be cautious.
After all, they still need to smuggle food from the Tyrant Realm. This is because the land of hope is not generally conducive to life.
The land of hope is corrosive, and the air is thick with sin energy and ashes. The sin energy is good for demons, but it is bad for other races. Plants can't grow in the land of hope, and animals have shortened lifespans, stunted growth, failing fertility, miscarriages, and all manner of ailments for staying there over a long period of time.
So they need food grown in the Tyrant Realm. Some food is stolen, but most of it is traded and brought to the abyss through abyssal altars. That means there are people in the Tyrant realm who trade with them.
Some of those trading partners are even Tyrants. It is not something the Tyrants are proud of. It would be a shame for their identities and the identities of the other trading partners of the land of hope to become exposed. Hence, a spy is not welcomed.
The top of the mountain provided a view of the entire land of hope. The top of the mountain is also where LIES stays. If he is unable to gain the certification of the demon god, then this view will be the last thing he sees. He should be worried about this, but he wasn't. It was LIES that felt uneasy.
The demon god of lies is a cloud of energy. LIES is also a stone. It is also a pond. It is also an animal. It is also a plant. It is several things at once, and over time, it is whatever LIES wants to be. But it is currently baffled and exasperated.
Now, LIES should be able to tell if someone is lying or not. All it needs to do is be present when someone speaks. Its Supreme Law will react excitedly to lies as soon as they are uttered. It will also react to truths, as they will disgust it.
Unfortunately, it couldn't react to the Tree Father's words at all. Every single one of its attempts led to a clash with the Tree Father's existence, which is a fight of sorts. But it was evenly matched with the Tree father, so it couldn't affect him.
If it can't affect the Tree Father, then it can't authenticate him. But LIES has more things to be confused about. It can't tell how the Tree Father resisted its power at all.
LIES asked calmly, "What kind of creature are you? You're not a living thing. Certainly not any living thing that I have ever seen. And you are not a demon, either. I would know, seeing as I am one."
This is the first time someone or something has resisted it. But it finds the Tree Father to be strange because the Tree Father doesn't have a Supreme Law at all.
LIES, and most of the void universe, accepted that Supreme Power could be acquired with only a Supreme Law, be it the false Supreme Law of Order or Chaos. Yet, here is someone with neither.
