Chapter - 3540

Since it had appeared, the implications were substantial!

"What is this? Tell me, what on earth is it?" Emerald Sword God's expression turned frosty, a touch of irritation brewing in his heart. Why is he just staring at it?

It was only then that Zeke managed to regain his composure, forcing himself to be somewhat calm.

"This is a weapon that can only be activated by a core launcher made of special materials."

Emerald Sword God furrowed his brow. "Put it in simpler terms."

"In other words, it's like a bow without its arrow now," Zeke honestly admitted.

In reality, it wasn't that he was willing to confess openly but because he knew that since Emerald Sword God possessed this item, there might be a chance that he also understood its significance.

It was best to tell the truth, as only then would Emerald Sword God trust him.

If he were to lie, Emerald Sword God would undoubtedly feel that he wasn't worth trusting. Zeke feared that it might lead to Emerald Sword God directly consuming their vital energy.

It seems that escaping from here as soon as possible is the most crucial thing right now.

As for sharing this information with Emerald Sword God, it was not like he could do anything with that knowledge.

"Why didn't you say so earlier? I would have understood!" Emerald Sword God huffed coldly, tossing the Fire Dragon Gun to Zeke.

The murderous intent in his heart vanished.

Indeed, he had harbored murderous intent earlier as he was well aware that activating this weapon required two things.

Only by complementing each other could the weapon truly function effectively.

Hence, he had posed this question for two reasons: firstly, to test Zeke, and secondly, to gather more information.

Since Zeke had not deceived him, he was able to let his guard down.

"It's yours now, although I suspect it's probably useless. However, I didn't fully understand it earlier and almost suffered a setback. Fortunately, my strength is formidable, so I had nothing to fear."

Emerald Sword God frowned slightly, flapping his hand as though he had a strong dislike for the Fire Dragon Gun.

"Sir, may I ask..." Zeke hesitated for a moment before forging ahead. "What do you mean you suffered a setback because of this?"

Emerald Sword God scoffed coldly.

"Previously, there was this girl who claimed that someone called Orion or something was chasing after her. She escaped here, and I happened to run into her. Just as I was about to capture her, she suddenly attacked me with this."

At this point, he looked slightly annoyed.

"Back then, I had no idea what it was, so I froze for a moment, which allowed her to escape. However, it all worked out, as I managed to seize her weapon. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure it out."

This was shocking news!

Upon reflecting on Emerald Sword God's words, a slight change came over Zeke's expression, and he couldn't help but feel amused.

No one was more ruthless when it came to women than Orion.

Aretta was quite attractive, yet the moment she seized his heaven's energy, he relentlessly pursued her, the chase seemingly endless.

Presumably, the owner of this modern divine weapon was quite beautiful as well. However, something must have happened that led Orion to relentlessly pursue and attempt to kill her too.

Zeke truly couldn't comprehend why Orion always seemed to develop a grudge with women.

It was truly amusing.

However, now was not the time to dwell on such thoughts. He had only fifteen days left before the impending eruption of the dark energy, so he shouldn't be wasting his energy and time making fun of others.

But why did Emerald Sword God entrust this weapon to me?

With this thought in mind, Zeke cautiously ventured to ask.

"Lord Emerald Sword, why did you bestow me this weapon?”

"Aren't you a cultivator of the current era? Perhaps you are better equipped to find a use for it. I gave it to you for self-protection. If you don't want to use it, feel free to return it to me."

Zeke quickly shook his head.

"No, no, no, I'll use it! Then could we trouble you to transport us outside?"

"All right, I'm entrusting you with this and letting you go, so please don't disappoint me.

If you indeed manage to do me this great favor, rest assured, I won't forget to return the favor," Emerald Sword God said with a chuckle.

Then, with a nod and a sweep of his hand, he conjured an enormous, ethereal emerald- colored sword that materialized above the ground.

He took a step forward, positioning himself at the tip of the sword.
