683 Another Great Deal

A beautiful woman walked out of a portal, looking at the surrounding with confusion. Her presence or beauty immediately eclipsed the ground she stood on, the floating clouds, and even the air she breathed.

A few seconds after landing, some information appeared in her mind telling her to hunt the people with the red mark above their heads.

What is going on? muttered Xu s.h.i.+. Not long ago, news of a secret realm with the inheritance of an Eternal Supreme spread throughout the world at an alarming rate, enticing countless Heaven Chosen to check it out for themselves.

At first, Xu s.h.i.+ was not interested since her Primordial Chaos Art is an Eternal Supreme Level Scripture, but she also did not want someone from her world to get their hands on it. So, she went to check but not long after the secret realm opened, a mysterious power teleported everyone here and asked them to kill people with a red mark above their heads.

Xu s.h.i.+ felt something was wrong; the entire secret realm situation felt rushed, making her suspicious.

After scanning the area, she flew in the northwest direction. Xu s.h.i.+ had somewhat of a vague map inside her mind that indicated the closest person with a red mark. A few seconds later, she saw the person.

Huo Fenghuang?

Xu s.h.i.+? asked the Ancient Clan heir. Do you know whats going on? Wait, why dont you have a mark above your head?

Xu s.h.i.+ did not immediately answer, but she guessed something. You should be careful. After warning her former compet.i.tor, Xu s.h.i.+ flew to the nearest mark on her map. And as expected, it was someone from the Myriad Emperor World.

Someone is definitely planning against them, thought Xu s.h.i.+. She quickly a.n.a.lyzed the situation. The Emperor Enlightening Academy did not have anyone present on this continent, meaning they wont lose much in this chaotic situation. Simultaneously, she cannot hunt these people and make more enemies for the Academy.

I could use this situation to my advantage if I act swiftly enough.

She teleported to the distance without wasting time, heading to another territory.

Wrath Territory:

W-w.a.n.g Wei, exclaimed Wrath as he looked at the handsome young man before him. She immediately held the Devil Retribution Sword in her hand, prepared for battle. How did you get inside here?

Whatever anomaly is happening to this continent disrupted the castles formation. So, it was easy for me to enter undetected, he replied before smiling. Relax, Im not here to harm you. Otherwise, I would have used a sneak attack.

Wouldnt you be ashamed to use such a lowly tactic?

No, I would not.

Ive always believed humans capability for evil is higher than us, devils.

True, to some degree. However, our capability for good and empathy is something you, devils, will never experience, replied w.a.n.g Wei. Lets not mention these things. I came here because your master told me to look out for you. So, could you tell me what you plan to do next?

Do you think I would trust you because of a few words?

w.a.n.g Wei sighed before looking at the sword in her hand. Interesting. Ive used the same method once. He realized the sword was created using the same tactic he used in the Demon Supremacy World. It gathered all the negative emotions and karma of the devil race. After years of suffering at the hands of the Myriad Emperor World, the devil race has plenty of negative emotions.

This sword has a lot of potentials, thought w.a.n.g Wei. Currently, this sword is limited to the Nine Devil G.o.d World. But one day, if Wrath can prove the Dao, she could gather power from all the suffering of all devils in the lower dimension. And maybe even the upper dimension.

The potency of such a weapon after being nourished by the power of the Grand Dao Source is unfathomable.

Its a shame I would not be able to use it. Only a devil could wield this weapon. And as a human, this sword would revolt against him even if he used absolute force to restrain it. He could imagine it even destroying itself to prevent being wielded by a human.

You can use the sword like a pill and absorb some of its power. It should fix your broken Nine Extremity Foundation and grant you 2-Root Strength. Then, you can use the swords power to confront 5-Root, albeit for a short period.

He then looked her in the eyes.

I can see through your eyes that you have not abandoned the devil race despite my actions. So, your best course of action would be temporarily abandoning the devil race and using your previous plan on yourselfbecoming a citizen of the Myriad Emperor World.

Then, you can prove the Dao to become an Eternal before returning to deal with the seal and protect your race. Am I right?

My master once said the most annoying thing he experienced in his life was dealing with you, Overlords, said Wrath with a mocking sneer. And he was right. Your arrogance and know-it-all att.i.tude is disgusting.

I would not have to use my arrogance and know-it-all att.i.tude if you followed along and told me your plan. Instead, you chose to be stubborn, forcing me to use my intelligence to figure out your plans and granting me the initiative in the conversation.

If you had properly a.s.sessed the situation and followed along, you would not have to suffer the unpleasantry of my arrogance and know-it-all att.i.tude.

After this short conversation, w.a.n.g Wei could a.n.a.lyze what kind of person Wrath was. Intelligent, talented, loyal, but very inexperienced or sheltered. He could calculate that her master pampered her too much, rendering her incapable of hiding her emotions and partaking in political or emotional manipulation. When facing people weaker than hers, she will be fine. But she will crumble under pressure when facing someone on par or even more powerful than her.

Wrath took a deep breath to calm down. Now that you know, what are you going to do?

First of all, you cannot become a citizen of the Myriad Emperor World, commented w.a.n.g Wei. I dont want our world to have any connection to the devil raceeven if you will be considered human.

Impossible. The Myriad Emperor World is the one who defeated us and has a strong Karmic connection to our devil race. So, they are the only plane where this plan has a remote chance of succeeding.

Wrath discussed this situation with her master, and they derived the same conclusion. This is why the formation of this continent will secretly swallow the blood of the fallen soldiers from the Myriad Emperor World, to help acquire their citizen status and human race status.

There is another way to get your status: True Heavenly Dao. And it is a more legit status than any planes Heavenly Dao, countered w.a.n.g Wei.

How am I supposed to contact True Heavenly Dao? Plus, it hates the devil race after what my master did. So, why would it help us?

please visit panda(-)N0ve1.co)m

It does not hate your race; it was disappointed by your action and thus decided to punish you. However, Heavenly Dao is all about balance. So, as long as the Light Race exists, the devil race has a chance of resurgence.

As for how to contact it? Its the same way you would contact any Heavenly Dao. The only caveat is that it will only respond if it is a pertinent issue, which the revival of the devil race is.

Wrath frowned as she pondered what he said. You may be correct, but True Heavenly Dao wont just accept my proposition because I plead for it.

True. What were you going to exchange for my Heavenly Dao?

Yours?

Dont mind the small stuff.

Wrath gave him an odd look before answering, I was going to exchange the body of one of the remaining Devil G.o.ds.

You can do that? Even with the destruction of this continents Heavenly Dao?

Yes, since the array remains intact. Furthermore, the Devil G.o.ds are willing to sacrifice themselves for the future of our race.

A self-sacrificing devil? Ive officially seen everything in my life.

You people have villanized us throughout history; this is not as rare as you make it out to be, argued Wrath.

Or the current misery forced your race to evolve beyond your innate racial limitations.

Im not here to argue with you.

Alright. Back to the topic, True Heavenly Dao probably wont accept your exchange. What you need is merit and the highest kind of purple merit.

Where am I going to get my hands on something like that? The devil race was not inventive or a race of high imagination. As such, its not easy for them to acquire merit. Usually, they would conquer other races or worlds to get their hands on such resources.

Thats where I come in. I will exchange the merit for the Devil G.o.ds body.

Arent I losing in such an exchange?

Everything is about demand. In your current situation, Im probably the only person with what you want and willing to trade with you. So, think of it that way.

Shameless profiteer.

Thank you for the compliment. Anyway, purple merit might be as rare of a resource as an Emperors body, so this exchange is not as one-sided as you make it to be.

Calm down, Wrath. Breathe in and out. She wanted to attack him because of his shamelessness. Anything else?

Two things. After you acquire your status, please prove the Dao in another World Community. Although I promise your master to look out for you, I dont want you to intervene in my affairs.

Why are you treating us like a plague.

Thats because you are. In the future, I can help youbut only secretly.

w.a.n.g Wei has no hatred or personal feelings toward the devil race. However, if he wants his era to have longevity, the Myriad Emperor World cannot be directly connected to the devil race. Otherwise, people will use them to attack his new era after he leaves.

What is the second thing? Wrath calmed down as she realized the importance of anyone willing to aid hereven if it was in the shadow.

I just need some aura of the destroy Heavenly Dao from you.

Wrath frowned but did not ask why he wanted it. She directly took a good portion from the talisman and gave it to him.

It seems we have established some level of trust, he replied before taking out a purple orb and handing it to her. This is a small portion of our deal. Once you hand the body, Ill give you the rest.

Wrath took the purple merit and said: Give me a while, and Ill fulfill my hands of the deal.

I look forward to it.

w.a.n.g Wei was delighted with this deal. With an alive and drastically weakened Great Emperor, the scientists will have a much higher chance of success in helping him reach Ten Extremity.

,m As the final battle rapidly approaches, he feels even more pressure, which increases his desire for this project to succeed.

It was nice working with you, he declared before walking out of the castle. He was about to figure out the changes to this continent when he suddenly sensed something.

Someone is calling me?

He disappeared in the distance.
