Chapter 466: Package Failure

The Darkness Origin completely baffled Lu Ye on the spot.

“What do you mean?” Lu Ye’s brows furrowed so tightly it could squish a fly.

“What do you mean what? After I acknowledge you as my master and appear by your side, I obviously can’t stay in the form of a black mist, so it makes more sense to turn into a girl. Whatever type you like, I’ll transform into that and it’ll be perfect!”

The Darkness Origin was straightforward, showing no intention of hiding its thoughts.

“No need for that! Just stay as you are; I’m currently allergic to women!”

Lu Ye certainly wouldn’t let the Darkness Origin turn into a girl. God Xitang and Little Heavenly Dao already turning into female forms had given him enough headaches.

Just think about it—if he wanted to throw a punch, it would be awkward to hit the face, difficult to hit the chest; everything seemed off-limits.

Better off as a dude—if someone angered him, just a solid punch, who the hell cares where it lands! Wherever it hits, they deserve it!

The Darkness Origin pondered for a moment.

Fine, let’s not worry about that for now; it can change anytime.

It felt that being in its current state was just fine; it wasn’t a living being and had no fixed appearance.

Customizing it based on Lu Ye’s preferences would be flawless; wouldn’t that be just wonderful?

“So, how do we design a plan to get you the resources from the Reincarnation Celestial Lord and make my half energy acknowledge you as master?”

Lu Ye started to think.

At that moment, the Darkness Origin was super relaxed!

It handed the problem over to Lu Ye and let him figure it out.

There was no need to worry about failure; when you don’t even have to worry about failing, or even fear success, the difficulty of the task drops to the lowest.

After all, people always say, “This might just end up in failure, right?”

But you never hear anyone say, “This might just end up in success.”

The Darkness Origin had never felt this relaxed before.

“What do you think about the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Palace?” Lu Ye said.

“Forgetful Emotion Celestial Palace? Right, Yin Qingcheng designed a trap for you. If it weren’t for the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Palace helping out and being willing to give her that jade pendant, the Compassionless Sage’s power wouldn’t have been activated!”

Lu Ye nodded.

Exactly so.

“I’ll go to the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Palace and demand an explanation. First, I’ll start a fight and then pretend to be overwhelmed and leave, clearly stating I won’t let it go. At that time, you help the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Palace by delivering a Great Formation to them named Seven Emotion Summoning Formation. It’s powerful enough that they won’t suspect a thing.”

“You plan to make a move against the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Palace?” the Darkness Origin asked.

Lu Ye calmly nodded.

If they attacked him first, did it mean he couldn’t strike back? That didn’t make any sense.

“Aren’t you worried about the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord?” the Darkness Origin inquired.

“Didn’t the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord strike at me in the last life?” Lu Ye questioned.

“It seems… no?”

The Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord didn’t seem that powerful; he had only just recently advanced to the Celestial Lord Realm, which meant he had no reason to strike Lu Ye in the last life.

Even if Lu Ye had failed his tribulation to become a sage, it wouldn’t have been his opportunity either; if Lu Ye succeeded, then joining in would mean certain death.

The risk-to-reward ratio didn’t add up.

“If I worry about this and that, you think in the Nine Heavens, are there still people I can take action against?” Lu Ye’s gaze turned icy.

Being overly cautious had never been Lu Ye’s style.

Whoever messed with him was doomed!

If he couldn’t beat them now, he’d just cultivate until he could and then take them down.

The Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord was at the Ninth Heaven; if he was still too scared to move with the rules left behind by the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens still in effect, what was the point of cultivating at all? Might as well go home and farm!

The Great Sage of the Nine Heavens set those rules to make sure you didn’t fear others’ backgrounds.

But he had totally forgotten about being ambushed by the spring water.

But there was no way around it; the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens hadn’t gone through that either.

Lu Ye and the Darkness Origin detailed the steps.

You could rest assured—package failure!

“By the way, what’s the eighth type of poison I’ve been hit with?” Lu Ye asked at that moment.

The Darkness Origin pondered for a while.

“I don’t even know that. She hides it on purpose. Probably only An Li knows, but I suspect it’s related to the clan behind An Li,” the Darkness Origin said.

“Right now, An Li’s overall strength isn’t strong enough, so she doesn’t dare to reach out to that clan.”

The Darkness Origin had no idea it was so mysterious, huh?

Lu Ye couldn’t help but be curious.

“Tell me in detail how you two got together in the last life,” Lu Ye said.

Talking about this piqued the Darkness Origin’s interest.

“At first, neither of us had met yet. I remember the first time I encountered you; you were busy fighting the Heavenly Gate. The Heavenly Gate was absolutely miserable.”

Lu Ye recalled that time—it was actually a pretense; his target back then was already focused on the Heavenly Dao, preparing to seize it from the system.

“Ahem, let’s not bring up the animosity with the Heavenly Gate from the last life.

“Hey? Wait a moment! You beat the Heavenly Gate’s brains out last life; shouldn’t you be on opposing sides with the Heavenly Dao too? Why is the Heavenly Dao helping you so much this time?” The Darkness Origin suddenly caught on, puzzled.

“Well, just a few days ago we beat your brains out, didn’t you end up chatting with me just fine?” Lu Ye said matter-of-factly.

The Darkness Origin thought about it and conceded.

“That time, I asked you to join me to take down the Heavenly Dao, but you didn’t agree. We weren’t enemies back then, right?”

Lu Ye nodded; they indeed weren’t enemies.

“Later, I ignited the Devil’s Fragrance and started the war across the entire Ninth Heaven, and that’s when you came to attack me.”

“That was when our grudge began. After the Devil’s Fragrance incident, I couldn’t just back off, so I came after you several more times but got beaten down each time, and our feud only deepened.”

“When you reached the Quasi-Emperor realm, I had this old stubborn thing in me that just couldn’t handle it anymore, so I boldly ignited the Dark Turmoil.”

“You broke through the Emperor realm and began killing those old stubborns like crazy—it went on for ages.”

“As your strength grew, the old stubborns in my body finally realized they were no match for you and had to fall back into a deep sleep.”

“At that point, I really hated you. The craziness before a Celestial Lord’s fall, although I didn’t break the rules the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens had set, I started breaking down barriers above the Fifth Heaven.”

“I could’ve improved my strength significantly, but you ruined it all.”

“Then, it was An Li who found me and said she had a way to bring you down from the Celestial Lord realm. I thought, no matter who attacked Nine Lives, I had to lend a hand.”

“But I wasn’t the main force! I was just there to assist An Li, watching her reach out to her maternal clan and connect with some mysterious entity. At first, I didn’t know who that mysterious entity was, but later guessed it was the Reincarnation Celestial Lord, hoping to share the spoils, so I ended up stealing the Reincarnation Obsession.”

“An Li dragging me along was purely to ensure her safety, especially with her clan being as neurotic as you know it is.”
