Chapter 419 Letting the Wolf In
Xia'er has already passed the stage where hot water or molten aluminum would scald an ant nest.
So, faced with so many huge faiths, he simply glanced at them, did some basic information gathering such as the male-to-female ratio, age ratio, and distribution statistics, and then focused his attention elsewhere, on the place that made him and the spirit of the Goddess of Night tremble at the same time.
This spiritual authority... is quite interesting.
In an instant, Xia Er even saw the mysterious gate on the second level of the Gray Mist Space above the Spirit Realm, which was the [Source Castle]. Not only Xia Er, but even the Goddess of the Night saw it. However, since they both came down from the Gray Mist Space, they did not experience any rejection reaction.
The authority of the spirit is, in symbolism, the place where spirits belong and their master. The blessing of the spirit and the spirit body is exaggerated. In the past, Xia Er only felt that this authority overlapped with the authority of the "Great Mother" and the "Grim Reaper".
Looking at it now, this authority is actually very much in line with the needs of the ruler of the spirit world. It is an important authority to increase the blue bar... no... it is to increase the red bar, evolve the root bone and comprehension, strengthen the life source, and thicken the load-bearing wall of destiny.
"I'll trade my uniqueness as the Grim Reaper for one branch of authority in your favor."
"Don't even think about it!"
Almost the instant Xia'er opened her mouth, the Goddess of the Night refused outright. The scythe in Xia'er's hand also disappeared. When it reappeared, it had already been put away by the Goddess of the Night. She even said she would exchange it for the uniqueness of the God of Death. That's something that can be taken back at any time. How dare you mention it again?
Amanisis stopped giving up on herself. She instinctively moved to the side, crossed her arms to protect her chest, and adopted a defensive posture, watching Xia'er's unclean and fidgety hands with great vigilance.
It was originally just a casual test, and Amanisis didn't think it would cause any problems. No matter how outrageous Chael was, he couldn't violate the basic rules. According to Chael's personality, he should have just played around with it, returned the power of the night to her, discovered that he was wasting his time on the Black Death War, and then returned the uniqueness of the Grim Reaper to her.
This was originally intended as a strategic retreat, but now it could easily turn into inviting trouble.
"Believe me, really. Give me the authority of your spirit and soul, and I will help you fight the God of War. I will help you become the Eternal Darkness. From now on, we will be two ends of a scale that will never betray each other."
Xia Er tried to take a step toward Amanisis. The wolf woman in front of him reappeared with her arms retracted. Not only did she grow sharp teeth, but even her wolf ears stood up. She looked even more ferocious than when the two of them fought earlier.
Can the two ends of a scale be level?
Amanisis sneered as she slowly backed away.
"That must be the case, equals, respectful and harmonious. When things are fine, I'll support you; when things are in trouble, you'll let me step on you."
"I can't believe it," said Xia Er without hesitation.
What a healthy symbiotic relationship this is, with neither party being a burden.
"If you don't say it, there's still a chance."
Amanisis understood what Chael meant, and if she had the same conditions, she would certainly want to arrange things that way for him. In their culture, this is called the relationship between a primordial being and a companion being, or a lord and a knight in their culture.
"Then there's nothing to discuss."
Chael sighed regretfully.
The Goddess of the Night remained indifferent; how could she possibly do something that would give others a handle against her?
Setting the topic aside, Xia'er walked over, wrapped her arms around the waist of the Goddess of Night, and strolled casually across the deserted field. After only a few steps, she let go of her arm because it was uncomfortable to hold. After all, the Goddess of Night had so many arms, it really was uncomfortable to hold.
"I don't have such a deep desire for it."
"If we can get it, that would be best; if we can't, it's not a big deal, it won't make any fundamental changes."
As Shael spoke, the illusory feathered serpent crawled from his body back onto the Goddess of Night, transforming once again into the motionless Book of Death in her hand.
The fact that the Goddess of Night rejected his request was actually a good thing, because once Xia'er truly obtained the authority of the spirit body, the more authority he collected related to the spirit body, the closer he would naturally be to the Source Castle, to the source substance that supports the spirit world and symbolizes the ruler of the spirit world.
The price to pay is that all three factions of the Gui family, from top to bottom, will face an even more serious resurgence of divine consciousness, or rather, the consciousness of the Heavenly Venerable.
It's unclear who will be the first to give up, but the upper echelons of the Gui San family are probably doing quite well right now. However, Klein will definitely be the first to suffer.
This choice—making the Source Castle active so that the extraordinary individuals, acting as spectators, can better utilize its power while causing great distress to the extraordinary individuals of the orthodox Ghost Three Schools—is quite selfish and inhumane.
"How are you able to manipulate it so skillfully?"
For some reason, when Shael wielded the uniqueness of death, the Goddess of the Night did not see that strong, even burdensome, negative effect, which would be considered a burden even for a true god.
"I hold a divine position in the underworld system of the Western Continent, and it is an extremely noble and ancient divine position."
"The underworld of the northern and southern continents, though created by the Phoenix Ancestor, is subordinate to the spirit world, and I am the master of the spirit world." At that time, the underworld itself was also within my jurisdiction. The river of death wanted to catch up with me, and there were too many things that needed to be buried.
Xia Er mentioned the Western Continent, and then, as if remembering something, he stopped and looked at the Goddess of the Night.
The Goddess of the Night seemed to sense something as well, and her gaze towards Xia Er deepened.
"Do you want to be my personal disciple, my successor?"
As Xia Er thought about the final plot of a certain cycle of fate, a wicked sense of humor suddenly arose within him.
A celestial being strokes your head, and your wisdom is awakened.
"I can consider it."
The goddess of the night's tone revealed no change in emotion.
Even though she knew that Xia'er's words were somewhat wicked, the Goddess of the Night was actually more practical than these abstract concepts. Xia'er's understanding of the path of death and her control over the authority of death far surpassed hers, far beyond what she lacked.
Regardless of the method used, understanding the opponent's tactics is always the starting point for overtaking them.
The Goddess of Night can certainly study and comprehend it on her own, since the uniqueness of the Grim Reaper is in her hands. However, her time is limited, perhaps two or three years. This is long enough for ordinary people, but for the Goddess of Night, it's really not enough time to do anything.
"You have to tell me first what the benefits are."
Because there were no outsiders here, the Goddess of Night spoke very frankly.
She wasn't embarrassed at all. In fact, she didn't think that this guy, who had been throwing his weight around after taking two packets of his ketchup, was being kind by offering to help.
