459: Chapter 459 Deception, and more deception
For a moment, the atmosphere was eerily peaceful.
Nie Ning and the Evil Spirit Split-Body were just bickering, neither having any intention of fighting the other.
"Where are you from, anyway? Why did you run all the way here? Is there no food left where you live?"
Nie Ning asked, sounding somewhat curious.
The origins of Evil Spirits are varied, mostly coming from regions with harsh survival environments.
Of course, it was precisely because of these harsh conditions that those who survived were by no means weak.
The Evil Spirit sighed.
"Sigh, don't even get me started. It's about five galaxies away from here. The environment there isn't as good as this, and I only managed to get here by using Dream Travel."
Nie Ning knew that the "Dream Travel" the Evil Spirit spoke of was actually an ability that utilized the dream world.
Furthermore, it wasn't direct travel through the dream world, but rather using the dream world to transmit information to living beings.
In other words, developing followers within the dream world, then using them to pinpoint a location to teleport over.
After all, that was a distance of five galaxies; a normal Rank 9 could likely run until their lifespan ended and still not make it out.
To engage in interstellar travel, the most basic method was spatial teleportation.
Just like Yishi Mansion, which built its own interstellar portal to explore the starry sky.
However, when all was said and done, it ultimately came down to luck.
If one's luck was too poor, they might not even discover a normal life-sustaining planet after hundreds of years of stellar exploration.
Even the Evil Spirit's Dream Travel ability wasn't as mystical as it sounded; luck played the primary role.
"Then why did you run here? Can you beat the strong experts here?"
Nie Ning asked again.
Evil Spirits are very strong, but not every Evil Spirit is strong.
Belvis belonged to a higher-order world, so many Evil Spirits from lower-order worlds who came here were essentially delivering gift packages; after all, the bodies of extraterrestrial creatures were rare materials.
"I have no choice. It took me a few hundred years to find a normal world like this. Even if I can't beat them, I have to get a full meal before I leave,"
the Evil Spirit said helplessly, a hint of bitterness in its tone.
He could feel the pressure brought about by the world's power, which was far stronger than any world he had entered before.
Although his lifespan was longer than that of conventional creatures, it still had its limits.
If he didn't improve himself, death would be his only destination, and being devoured by other Evil Spirits was also a very real possibility.
Hearing this, Nie Ning's eyes rolled slightly.
"How about this: you leave here, and I'll give you some coordinates.
"There's an endless supply of food there. You can do whatever you want when you get there; it's better than staying here and waiting for the wizards to surround and annihilate you.
"You should know that the experts here love dissecting you exotic beings the most. I'm only telling you this because you seem honest and I don't want to see you suffer."
Nie Ning spouted nonsense with a grave and earnest tone.
The Evil Spirit looked at Nie Ning's sincere gaze, and for a moment, it actually began to hesitate.
Although the living beings here were full of spiritual energy, the suppression of this world was too strong.
Based on his experience, it would be strange if there were no strong experts here, and if he encountered a god, he wouldn't even know how he died.
But thinking carefully, he had come too hastily and hadn't investigated clearly. However, would it be too embarrassing to just leave so hastily?
If he did this every time, others would think he was a pushover.
Seeing that the Evil Spirit was wavering, Nie Ning knew he had to strike while the iron was hot.
He snapped his fingers, and rising red flames began to construct a Runic Formula in front of him.
"I'm really not lying to you. Although the creatures there are quite irritable, their intelligence is very low, and they have high compatibility with your energy source. If you go there, you will definitely be able to grow rapidly.
"When we have time later, we can also build a rapport and discuss invading other worlds. I've done quite a bit of research on this, and I guarantee everyone will profit."
Still spouting nonsense.
The coordinates Nie Ning gave were not for any other place, but for the Abyss.
Once their strength improved to the later stages, most wizards would choose to enter the Abyss to obtain materials, so the coordinates there were not as secret as one might imagine.
However, the reputation of the Abyss had always been poor; its appearance often meant that disaster was coming.
Now it just depended on whether that idiot on the other side knew about the Abyss.
But looking at the other party's strange expression, Nie Ning felt that they probably hadn't recognized it.
This was not strange.
The Abyss wasn't a public restroom for the myriad worlds, so naturally, not every world knew about it; many probably hadn't even heard of it.
And for the Abyss, the more powerful a world was, the greater its attraction.
Because the strength of the demon system allowed it to fear no world.
"Don't hesitate. It's only because I'm easy to talk to. If my elders come over later, you won't even be able to escape."
Seeing the Evil Spirit Split-Body hesitate, Nie Ning began to apply pressure.
The Evil Spirit Split-Body's eyes flickered.
Being able to reach the level of crossing galaxies, there was naturally no problem with his intelligence, and he knew that the other party was mostly bluffing.
But the coordinates in the other party's hand were real, and he could feel the violent aura emanating from the formation.
The reason for his hesitation was that his crisis intuition had been warning him.
Having traveled through several worlds, he had originally thought it was because of the world's power.
But now, calming down and distinguishing carefully, this sense of crisis was not all-encompassing, but rather located in the area near him.
In other words, there were living beings nearby who could threaten him.
And it wasn't just this avatar!
"Everyone has it tough. Since you've said so much, I'll give you some face. I'll just consider this trip a vacation."
As he spoke, the Evil Spirit Split-Body spat out two cyan beads.
Under the control of the Evil Spirit Split-Body, the Abyss summoning formation that Nie Ning had formed was absorbed into one of the beads, while the other flew to Nie Ning.
Nie Ning became vigilant in an instant, but he did not attack rashly.
"Don't worry. This bead contains a wisp of my aura. When we have time, we can exchange notes on invasion."
The Evil Spirit Split-Body said with a smile while swallowing the bead imprinted with the Abyss summoning formation.
After all, more friends meant more paths.
Whether it was to trick Nie Ning out later to kill him, or for the two of them to explore other worlds together, it was a good choice for him.
Or rather, it was a good choice for a greedy person.
And the other party's courage and brains were not bad; perhaps the two could develop into allies.
"I see."
Nie Ning nodded, but then immediately looked regretful.
"Look at this mess; I didn't bring any gifts. This is a little trinket I made myself. If you have any descendants, you can give it to them."
Having said that, Nie Ning took out a few Mirror Pupils from his spatial ring and flicked them over to the Evil Spirit Split-Body.
For him, mutual exchange was necessary for sustainable development.
Although the Mirror Pupils might be useless to the other party, they were quite good for low-level creatures.
If they established a good relationship and could use this to obtain the biological genes of the other party's world, just thinking about it was exciting!
