183: Chapter 183 Deceiving the Great Evolutionary God!
Chapter 183: Fooling Divine Lord Dayan!
"Those words are a bit too cold-blooded and heartless, aren't they? After all, I'm the one who rescued you from that place, right? Without me, your soul would have long since flown away and spirit scattered. No, I should say it wouldn't have been long before your soul flew away and spirit scattered. Your attitude toward me now is a bit poor. Besides, it's not like I'm not helping, is it? I've already agreed to help."
"Most importantly, and most crucially, I am likely the only person in this Mortal Realm who has the confidence and ability to help you resurrect. Without me, where would you find a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator as powerful as I am to help you resurrect and even provide advice on the process?"
"Although my method of resurrection is a bit unsatisfactory, it is indeed the only way to resurrect right now. After all, aside from this method, unless one defies heaven to change fate, there is no other way. Don't you think that makes sense?"
"To resurrect you, Senior, there is almost no other way right now besides defying heaven to change fate, and the fact that I can provide this method is already quite good. So, what you need to do now is follow my instructions. As for everything else, don't worry about it for now. As long as you can be resurrected, does the matter of those Puppets still matter? It doesn't matter at all. Once you are resurrected, you will have plenty of ways, time, and energy to refine as many Puppets as you want in the future."
"For you, the most important thing is still resurrection; nothing is more important than that. Senior, do you understand?"
Zhao Changsheng's earnest words caused Divine Lord Dayan's expression to change—though, of course, he currently had no expression to change.
"The main reason you're spouting all this nonsense is that you hope this old man will become your artifact spirit, right?"
"Thereby gaining complete control over my life and death. That way, my future would be at your whim; if you want me to live, I must live, and if you want me to die, I must die. Do you think, with my character, I'm the kind of person who fears death? I do want to be resurrected, but I will absolutely not do it this way. This method is a disgrace to me. I would rather die than use such a method to resurrect."
"But I must also admit, this is indeed a good method. Anyone else might have agreed, but I absolutely will not. So, you can give up on that idea."
Divine Lord Dayan's words made Zhao Changsheng nod, and he smiled again with great satisfaction.
"I knew Senior was definitely not someone who fears death. In that case, I can rest easy. Senior, please take a look at my other method. This method won't turn you into an artifact spirit; instead, it will allow you to resurrect smoothly. However, the price is that you must give up your chance for future Reincarnation—that is, to directly transform into a ghost Cultivator. This is a special method of resurrection, a last resort. If we don't use this, we'd have to use the previous method of becoming an artifact spirit. After all, Senior's lifespan has already reached its end. Resurrecting you any other way is impossible. So we must use this means; otherwise, don't even think about resurrecting in the future. Senior, let's follow this method and resurrect slowly first. Once we have enough time and energy, or once we find another way, we'll figure something out. At that time, I will surely find a body for you that is perfect to the extreme."
"Allowing Senior to be resurrected naturally, without being restricted by anyone or any conditions. Mostly, it's because I truly care about your prowess. Your talent, Senior, is the greatest I have ever seen."
"Even though Senior only has a single Primordial Spirit left now, to me, that is the most admirable part. Under normal circumstances, what ordinary Cultivator could possess such talent or achieve such a feat? Senior, don't you think I'm right? I believe that's how it is."
"There's no need for you to flatter me here. I am already well aware of what you've said. However, while this method of yours is decent, isn't giving up the chance for future Reincarnation too high a price?"
Divine Lord Dayan asked with a hint of awkwardness in his tone.
"It's only temporary. I believe there will surely be other ways for Senior to resurrect normally in the future. You can rest assured on that point. It's just that our current strength isn't enough. When we are strong enough, there will definitely be a way. Don't worry, Senior, there won't be any problems; I can guarantee that."
"If it weren't for that, how would I have the guts to mention this to you? Don't you think that's the case, Senior?"
"Besides, Senior isn't even afraid of death, so why would you fear giving up a chance at Reincarnation? Don't you agree, Senior?"
"So, the best and most optimal way right now is to use this method to resurrect. There is no other way. You should be very clear about this, Senior. Don't worry about the trivialities; they really aren't important. Senior, our most important task right now is resurrection. Nothing is more important than that. As long as you can be resurrected, then all your previous concepts and designs can be realized in your own way, crafted with your own hands. In the future, let alone Late Nascent Soul Stage Puppets, even Soul Transformation Stage Puppets will be well within your reach. Furthermore, as far as I know, in this world, there are even Mahayana Stage Puppets and even True Immortal Rank Puppets. Don't you want to see the legendary True Immortal Realm Puppets, Senior?"
"Although with our current strength, seeing them is quite unlikely, as long as we work hard, with our cultivation talent and brilliance, it's possible for us to even ascend to the Immortal Realm in the future. There's no need to worry about being stuck in this Mortal Realm forever. Ascending to the Spirit Realm is only a matter of time. Besides, haven't I already obtained the method to ascend to the Spirit Realm? As long as we continue to Cultivate according to the method I mentioned and continue to solve the difficulties of Ascension, then we can naturally ascend to the Spirit Realm."
"And in the Spirit Realm, there are bound to be Soul Transformation Stage Puppets, and even more powerful ones. Just as I said before, there are True Immortal Rank Puppets. Don't you want to see them, Senior?"
"You've been rambling on so much simply because you want me to follow you, follow your plan, become a ghost Cultivator, and become your subordinate."
Divine Lord Dayan gave a cold laugh, his tone filled with mockery.
"Senior, you've truly misunderstood. I absolutely have no such intention. How could I dare to have such an idea? I am sincerely inviting you to join me in a great undertaking. Only someone as talented and gifted in cultivation as you, Senior, is qualified to join me in such an endeavor. I value your cultivation talent and your own brilliance, especially your talent with Puppets, which I admire immensely."
"If it weren't for these two reasons, do you think I would just cooperate with anyone?"
"And say so much? Don't you agree?"
"Aren't you curious about how I cultivated to this level, and how I possess such powerful Divine Abilities and strength?"
"It's completely impossible; it's simply a fantasy."
"So, Senior, we can definitely cooperate. It's truly possible. Cooperation will be good for you, good for me, and good for everyone. Don't you think so? I believe that's the case."
"What's the use of you thinking that? But what you said is also reasonable. Since you've put it that way, I can agree to temporarily transform into a ghost Cultivator and find a way to resurrect. This is indeed something I care about."
"But resurrection is easier said than done. Even with the method you provided, the chance of success isn't high. After all, one must Cultivate a ghost path technique before resurrecting using this method, and how could I have cultivated such a technique before? Without cultivating a ghost path or Demonic Path technique, resurrection is too difficult."
"But regardless, I've decided to give it a try to avoid any issues."
"Senior is absolutely right. That is exactly what I meant. It's good that you understand."
"I'll leave the rest to you, Senior. I'll go attend to my own affairs. After all, I have quite a few things to handle, and I can't afford any mistakes. If anything goes wrong, the consequences would be unpredictable."
"One more thing, Senior: you must be extremely careful during the transformation process. You must be very, very careful. Nothing can go wrong. If a problem arises, there will be no chance for regret."
Zhao Changsheng felt as though he were giving a thousand warnings and exhortations.
"Rest assured, I won't have any problems. Go on and do what you need to do. Once I succeed, I'll call for you. If I need anything, I'll let you know. I won't let your efforts go to waste, don't worry."
After saying this, Divine Lord Dayan fell silent. Zhao Changsheng also breathed a sigh of relief. If it weren't for his appreciation of Divine Lord Dayan's talent, he wouldn't have been so long-winded.
It was truly because Divine Lord Dayan was too formidable, forcing Zhao Changsheng to admire him. Without his cheat, Zhao Changsheng couldn't guarantee he would surpass Divine Lord Dayan.
"I hope everything goes smoothly. If it does, then Senior will naturally be able to resurrect. Although it's only transforming into a ghost Cultivator, I believe there will surely be other ways once we ascend to the Spirit Realm; it definitely won't be the only way. This way, Senior will have more energy and time to research Puppets. I hope this time Senior won't waste all his energy and time on Puppets; otherwise, there won't be another chance. This is the last chance."
"As long as everything goes smoothly, I'll have a powerful helper."
At this thought, a hint of a smile appeared on Zhao Changsheng's face.
For him, this was truly a very important matter.
"I just wonder if Senior can refine a True Immortal Rank Puppet this time. I expect the Materials required will be quite numerous. But by then, I should have already broken through to the Mahayana Stage. Helping to search for them won't be a problem. After all, this is only a good thing for us, definitely not a bad thing."
"I hope it goes smoothly!"
After sighing those words, Zhao Changsheng left completely.
"What is the current situation in the Tiannan Cultivation World?"
Upon returning to the Sect, Zhao Changsheng called Wei Wuya back.
Compared to others, he trusted Wei Wuya more.
"The Cultivation Empire you want to establish has almost been set up. However, there are still many forces with grievances. After all, quite a few Sects and Families were destroyed in the process. They have secretly formed an Alliance. Although this Alliance has formed, they lack the strength to oppose you. Therefore, they have decided to remain hidden in the shadows, waiting for you to ascend or perish before they act to overthrow the entire Cultivation Empire."
"They certainly have high hopes. Do you think they have the time and energy for that? I don't think they do. If they were that capable, they would have acted long ago; why wait until now?"
"It's precisely because they don't have the strength. Your strength and Divine Abilities are far too great, so they don't dare to act. At least while you are alive or still in the Mortal Realm, they will absolutely not move, because they don't want to seek death. They only want to overthrow your Cultivation Empire, and they know this is their last chance. If they miss this Opportunity, there won't be another. Under these circumstances, they are naturally unwilling to let it pass."
"As a result, the only Opportunity they can wait for is your demise. They have already planned everything, so you must be extra careful and absolutely not be careless. Although your Divine Abilities and strength are far beyond Cultivators of the same Realm, their forces are not to be underestimated. Moreover, they have the support of the Great Jin Cultivation World behind them."
"Those few Old fellows still haven't given up. Are they afraid they won't provoke me enough, or that I won't wipe them all out? They're being so excessive, repeatedly testing my bottom line. Do they think I have no temper, or that I'm an easy target? I'm starting to think they've lived a bit too long and are tired of living. Since they want to die but can't bring themselves to commit suicide, they come to provoke me. If that's the case, I can help set them free."
Upon hearing those final words, Zhao Changsheng immediately became exasperated.
"They likely also want to obtain the Opportunities you possess."
