Chapter 465: What Type Do You Like?

The Reincarnation Celestial Lord seriously considered the suggestion of the Darkness Origin but ultimately shook his head.

Given the current situation, the odds of the Darkness Origin winning against the Heavenly Dao were just too low.

Currently, with the protection of the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens, the myriad beings were thriving and recovering, in a state of unparalleled strength.

The Darkness Origin wanting to defeat a Heavenly Dao in a strong state? The chances were near nonexistent.

“If you’re unwilling, I won’t force you. But if you change your mind, feel free to contact me. Fellow Daoist, you’ve really stayed in the Celestial Lord Realm for too long!”

Hearing this, the Reincarnation Celestial Lord smiled faintly.

“The Sage is lofty and goes with the flow, but the cycle of reincarnation never ceases. Until we meet again, Fellow Daoist!”

“What about the treasures?”

The Darkness Origin laughed even more joyfully.

It was just a treasure meant for a Sixth Heavenly Layer cultivator; he was more than happy to receive it.

After giving the agreed treasures to the Darkness Origin, the Reincarnation Celestial Lord vanished.

The Darkness Origin didn’t linger either and disappeared as well.

The Reincarnation Celestial Lord began to ponder.

The Darkness Origin’s words were clearly not to be trusted.

He claimed to have a grudge against Lu Ye, suggesting that Lu Ye achieved sainthood before him, which bred resentment.

Yet when he asked what tribulation Lu Ye faced to become a saint, he refused to answer.

That indicated that Lu Ye’s path to sainthood must not be an ordinary tribulation; it was definitely among the top tribulations, potentially the Eternal Great Tribulation!

Why did the Reincarnation Celestial Lord make such a guess?

Because later on, when he asked the Darkness Origin, many people witnessed Lu Ye crossing his tribulation, even the Darkness Origin was there, watching the spectacle.

The Darkness Origin probably didn’t catch on to the underlying implication.

If the scene had been cleared when Lu Ye was crossing his tribulation, it would mean he lacked confidence in passing the sainthood tribulation, thus opting for a clear stage.

Since there was no clearing, it implied that Lu Ye had enough confidence to succeed.

With such strong confidence came equally strong strength. Why would he provoke such a powerful being?

He didn’t even chase away the Darkness Origin, leaving him to spectate.

So, by piecing things together, it was clear that he had no enmity with Lu Ye.

Furthermore, even if he had to strike, he wouldn’t use the Reincarnation Obsession!

The Reincarnation Celestial Lord felt completely at ease.

No grudges was the best outcome because if he forcibly tried to kill Lu Ye against the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens’ principles, he couldn’t be sure he would win against the Great Sage.

After all, that was the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens!

Throughout history, how many could truly be called a Great Sage?

Why is the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens not referred to as the Nine Heavens Saint? Is it due to his achievements?

Achievements are part of it, but the most critical factor is the Great Sage’s terrifying strength.

The resources given to the Darkness Origin left him with no backup plan; they didn’t solely belong to the Six Paths of Reincarnation, so Lu Ye couldn’t blame him no matter what happened.

So safe!

……

After the Darkness Origin left, he couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh.

The Reincarnation Celestial Lord should now believe he didn’t provoke Lu Ye, right?

But in reality?

The Darkness Origin was well aware.

The betrayal of the Eight Maidens was heavily influenced by the Reincarnation Celestial Lord.

Now that the opportunity for sainthood had not emerged, the Reincarnation Celestial Lord remained relatively calm, but when that chance came, there was no way he could hold back.

Since he couldn’t confront the Nine Lives directly, he’d have to attack from the shadows.

If in the previous life Nine Lives hadn’t detonated himself directly, even if he was immensely powerful, bearing eight kinds of Yin-Yang Devouring Paths Gu and eight kinds of poisons, he might’ve weathered the Eternal Great Tribulation. Then the Reincarnation Celestial Lord would definitely have intervened for a final strike.

This was a struggle for the Dao, a fight to the death!

At this moment, Lu Ye was in a meeting with Shen Xitang and Little Heavenly Dao.

In the Heavenly Palace.

Shen Xitang lounged on the throne, wrapped in a blanket, exuding nobility with a completely refreshed demeanor.

Little Heavenly Dao was lying nearby, propping up his chin with his hands, his little legs swinging back and forth.

Lu Ye sat cross-legged.

“So, what’s your take on the Darkness Origin’s surrender?” Lu Ye asked.

“Ding! When your small world first formed, giving rise to myriad paths, there will definitely be a huge upheaval. There must be something like the Heavenly Dao to suppress this chaos, and the Darkness Origin is more suitable,” the System replied.

“Ding! Sister’s right!”

“Then don’t you both have plans to enter that world?” Lu Ye inquired.

“Ding! Little Heavenly Dao doesn’t want to be separated from me.”

“Ding! Sister’s right!”

“So, won’t you two fight in the future?”

“Ding! He can’t beat me!”

“Ding! Sister’s right!”

Unable to help himself, Lu Ye ruffled Little Heavenly Dao’s head, thinking how adorable his daughter was!

“Ding! You should rub Sister’s head too!”

Lu Ye looked at Shen Xitang, who rolled her eyes, thinking, with her being a grand System, would she really let a small host rub her head?

Suddenly, Shen Xitang seemed to think of something and took on a keen interest.

“Ding! Host, do you want to hear something good?”

Lu Ye?

Before he could agree, a voice rang out.

“Respected System Lord…”

Lu Ye’s face immediately darkened.

“Respected System Lord…”

Shen Xitang, playing coy, deliberately cut off the rest of the sentence, just leaving that one line.

“Respected System Lord…”

Lu Ye lunged at Shen Xitang.

“Ding ding ding, the dog host is furious!”

“Ding! Charge! Capture Sister!”

Alongside Little Heavenly Dao, they caught Shen Xitang and gave her a good few smacks. Little Heavenly Dao secretly joined in, curious as to why she felt so much better than him.

Lu Ye’s consciousness drifted away from the Heavenly Palace.

He sensed that the Darkness Origin was contacting him.

“Nine Lives, are you there?”

Lu Ye picked up the black jade pendant.

“Here!”

“I’ve made up my mind. From now on, I’ll throw my lot in with you, but I can’t completely recognize you as my master yet since those old-timers within me will definitely notice. For now, I can only acknowledge you with half my power.”

“Once we join forces to eliminate all those old-timers, I’ll completely recognize you as my master, how does that sound?” the Darkness Origin said.

Lu Ye thought for a bit.

“Sounds good!”

“Alright, by the way, I ran into the Reincarnation Celestial Lord. He asked me if there was any grudge between me and you in the previous life. I said yes, so he should think otherwise. I also took a bunch of resources from him that would help you, all under the pretense of setting a trap.”

Lu Ye was genuinely curious about what exactly the Reincarnation Celestial Lord did to target him in the last life.

“What all did he do in the previous life?” Lu Ye asked.

“Quite a bit! Except for the Reincarnation Obsession, which wasn’t his doing, several other poisons, including the Yin-Yang Devouring Path Gu, are his contributions!”

Lu Ye: ???

“What did you do?”

“After putting the blame on the Reincarnation Celestial Lord, I didn’t do anything else…”

Lu Ye…

“By the way, Nine Lives, what type of girls do you like?”

Lu Ye: ???
