105: The Mandate of Heaven: A Mysterious Taoist Priest!
"Ding! Detecting the Host's current experience, a Heavens Mandate Choice has been triggered!"
"Choice One: Agree to return the human emperor seal, and receive the Immortal Artifact, the Kongtong Seal, as a reward!"
"Choice Two: Refuse to return the human emperor seal, and receive the Human Emperor Art, the Dao of Human Emperor Cultivation, as a reward!"
"Please choose..."
Looking at this set of options, Chu Changge's lips curled into a slight smile.
"Oh! This time the rewards are quite interesting!"
Chu Changge muttered in his heart.
He directly ignored the second option; the reward for the first option made his heart stir.
"Is this Kongtong Seal the Divine Artifact I'm thinking of? The one that controls the Luck of the world and can depose or enthrone a Human Emperor!"
Chu Changge mused in his heart.
If that was the case, why would he choose the second option?
He would directly choose the first one. As long as Su Chen did something to displease him, he would directly depose his Human Emperor position.
Thinking of this, Chu Changge immediately made his decision.
However, although there was the reward from the Heavens Mandate Choice, he was far from satisfied.
He looked at Su Chen and said, "You say this item is yours, and it is yours? If you want this treasure, you'll have to pay a price, won't you?"
Su Chen hesitated upon hearing this, then said, "What do you want? As long as it's something I, Su Chen, can afford, I will give it to you!"
Su Chen didn't want to think too much. He just wanted to get the human emperor seal back now.
This was a symbol of his identity.
With this mark, the families of those who followed him in the past would follow him again, and the hidden moves he left behind could also be activated again.
This was a decision he made to prevent himself from being manipulated and used to destroy this world with these hidden moves if he failed.
After all, the human emperor seal only recognized the Human Emperor. If he was no longer the Human Emperor, he would not be able to control the human emperor seal.
Chu Changge thought for a moment and then stated his conditions.
"Su Chen, how about this, This Divine Son doesn't need too much from you, just ten drops of chaos divine liquid. You can owe This Divine Son for now, but you must make a Dao Heart oath. Only then will This Divine Son return the human emperor seal."
Su Chen's eyes widened like brass bells upon hearing this condition.
"What? Ten drops? Do you think chaos divine liquid is some common street item?"
"One drop of chaos divine liquid can create a top-tier Prodigy, and you actually want ten drops!"
Su Chen was furious, feeling that Chu Changge was making things difficult for him.
Although there were quite a few drops of chaos divine liquid among the hidden moves he had left behind in the past, it wasn't much, only about ten drops in total. He had originally planned to rely on this batch of chaos divine liquid to forge a powerful army.
Now Chu Changge wanted to take so many for himself; his heart was bleeding.
"What, you're unwilling?"
"Then forget it, you won't be taking this thing back!"
As Chu Changge spoke, he was about to turn and leave.
"Wait!!!"
Su Chen quickly called out to Chu Changge, who was about to leave. After a moment of internal struggle, he made up his mind and said.
"I, I agree to your request!!!"
Su Chen said with determination.
"Good, then make your Dao Heart oath. If you get the human emperor seal, and within one year you don't give ten drops of chaos divine liquid to This Divine Son, you will be plagued by Heart Demons, forever stuck in this Realm, unable to Breakthrough!"
Su Chen didn't expect Chu Changge to make him swear such a harsh oath.
And he only gave him one year.
He asked with some uncertainty, "Can you give me a little more time? One year is too short!"
Chu Changge shook his head and said, "No, only one year."
He knew these protagonists of destiny/Luck too well. Whatever time was agreed upon, that's how long it would be. They might arrive early, but they would never be late, at most appearing right on time.
Su Chen, protected by great Luck, as long as he set a one-year deadline, then one year later, he would come to his door with ten drops of chaos divine liquid.
Of course, he could have given less time, but pushing Su Chen too hard might lead to other problems, which he couldn't guarantee.
After a long silence, Su Chen raised three fingers to the sky and made a Dao Heart oath.
As a thunderous roar echoed from the sky.
The Heavenly Dao responded to his oath, and only then did Chu Changge contentedly hand the human emperor seal to Su Chen.
"Here! Young man, take this thing!"
Su Chen's mouth twitched. 'Young man' was the first time anyone had addressed him like that.
What an insolent fellow.
This grudge, I, Su Chen, have noted.
Su Chen secretly vowed in his heart that he would remember today's events and settle the score with Chu Changge later.
After Su Chen received the human emperor seal, a notification sound also rang in Chu Changge's mind.
"Ding! The Host has completed Option One, receiving the reward: Kongtong Seal!"
"Kongtong Seal: Immortal Artifact. The wielder of this Seal can depose or enthrone a Human Emperor and control the Luck of the world!"
"Good stuff!!!"
Chu Changge looked at the seal, which had a Jade Dragon coiled around it and the visages of the Five Heavenly Emperors carved on its sides, and was very satisfied.
However, he was currently unable to fully unleash the complete power of this seal.
Controlling the Luck of the world was only something he could do for a short time.
However, this was already very good.
At least when hunting those protagonists of destiny/Luck, he could use this seal at critical moments to seize their Luck, preventing them from having the protection of great Luck.
A Protagonist of Destiny without the protection of Luck was merely an ant to be slaughtered at will.
Su Chen held the human emperor seal in his hand and found that he could once again connect with it.
He was very happy.
It seemed that his inability to control the human emperor seal just now was due to some unknown reason.
Su Chen carefully put away the human emperor seal, his expression returning to its previous arrogance: "Divine Son Chu, you can rest assured about what This Seat promised you. In one year, ten drops of chaos divine liquid will be delivered to your Chu Family. However, whether Divine Son Chu dares to accept it then will be up to you!"
Su Chen had already planned how to teach this ignorant young man a lesson.
He would have his Emperor Realm Disciple bring the ten drops of chaos divine liquid to their door. He wanted to give the world, and that so-called Longevity Chu Family, a small shock.
"Hmm, This Divine Son will await your good news at the Chu Family!"
With that, Chu Changge led Su Ningxue and the other woman and turned to leave.
Seeing his calm and collected demeanor, Su Chen gnashed his teeth in anger.
"Hmph! One year from now, I hope you don't regret today's actions!"
Su Chen finished speaking, then turned and left.
Since he couldn't obtain the greatest Opportunity of Lizhu Grotto-Heaven, the ancient sword's recognition, he would go seek other Opportunities... On the other side, Chu Changge was on his way back to find Su Pingan.
Suddenly, he encountered a young man dressed as a Daoist, pushing a cart. On the cart lay a heavily injured, unconscious woman in black.
The Daoist was originally also on his way to Su Pingan's home.
But upon seeing Chu Changge, his eyes lit up, and he quickly pushed the cart towards him.
He shouted loudly.
"Young brother, help!!!"
