Chapter 793: Being a Scoundrel to the End
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
…
Everything was already set in stone. No matter how unwilling he was, he could not do it anymore.
He let out a deep sigh, then turned around and left.
From the beginning to the end, Zhang Shen’s expression did not change at all.
Looking at his departing figure, he only said indifferently,
!!
“As a puppet, you have to have the awareness of being a puppet. If you don’t even have this little awareness, then sooner or later, you will walk the path of destruction.”
With that, he directly entered the Divine Hall.
In the Divine Hall, there was a statue of a goddess that was worshiped. It revealed an incomparable vastness and majesty. Just looking at it made him involuntarily reveal a feeling of wanting to prostrate himself in worship.
“God of Creation! The creation body that you’re looking for, where exactly is it? Please give me some instructions so that I can find it earlier and return to your side earlier.”
Unfortunately, the statue of the goddess did not have any reaction.
…
In the following period of time, Ye Xiao was frantically doing missions, looking for the Heaven’s Chosen Ones that the God of Creation had invested in.
From their bodies, Ye Xiao accumulated heaven-defying laws bit by bit, and his strength was also continuously increasing.
He vaguely felt that his strength was improving in another direction, but at the same time, he also felt that it was not so easy to reach that level. The gap between them was really too much.
That was a problem that gave Ye Xiao a headache.
He did not know how strong the God of Creation was, but at the very least, he was currently not as strong as her.
If both parties met each other, he did not know if he would be the other party’s opponent.
That was because Ye Xiao was different from the others.
The situation that the others were currently displaying was that they were indeed under the God of Creation’s control.
Furthermore, as they absorbed more and more heaven-defying laws, the control they were under would definitely become more and more severe.
Normally, there would not be much of a problem, but if that day, the God of Creation suddenly went crazy and summoned them, then used her control technique and discovered that everyone else was being controlled while only he himself was not being controlled.
Then would he not have directly given himself away?
At that time, he reckoned that he might be directly pressed to death by the other party with a finger.
Therefore, very rarely, Ye Xiao would even extend his hand to some of the Heaven’s Chosen Ones that others had already marked.
Of course, Ye Xiao was not a fool. If he were to plunder the heaven-defying laws one by one, and he was plundering so quickly and on such a large scale, he was afraid that he would be discovered before he had even done it a few times.
Therefore, Ye Xiao thought of a method. That was to mark those Heaven’s Chosen Ones before plundering them.
Then, he would carry out a one-time plunder and let his heaven-defying laws obtain the most weight in the shortest amount of time.
Doing so would definitely let others discover it, but the advantage of doing so was that by the time others discovered it, he would have already obtained a huge wave of benefits.
Even if they wanted to stop him, it would be too late.
Ye Xiao would not feel any guilt towards them either.
They were all subordinates of the God of Creation. They even deceived him, wanting him to become the God of Creation’s lackey.
If it was not because Ye Xiao’s current strength had not reached the point where he could easily suppress all of them, he might have already killed those people.
Hence, after plundering a batch of heaven-defying laws in one go, Ye Xiao immediately began to digest those heaven-defying laws. Through the Golden Book divine soul, he purified the control power that belonged to the God of Creation on it. After that, all of it was absorbed into his body.
The entire process lasted a little longer. When he woke up, he realized that Zheng Shen had already called him many times.
Of course, he knew in his heart why the other party was in such a hurry to call him.
It was definitely because he had snatched too many heaven-defying laws in one go, causing the other members to be dissatisfied. Due to that, they would definitely find him to punish him.
However, he did not mind. His original strength was already about the same as Zheng Shen’s. After he had absorbed so many heaven-defying laws, his strength had increased quite a bit.
Even if he were to fight with the other party, he would not be afraid.
At that moment, Zheng Shen sent another message. Ye Xiao shook his head and instantly disappeared on the spot. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Zheng Shen
At that moment, in front of Zheng Shen, he was not the only one who had gathered. Other than him, there were several powerful existences. Their cultivation was also about the same as Zheng Shen’s.
Ye Xiao could even guess that their identities were most likely the World Destruction Cavalry.
Seeing him suddenly come over, Zheng Shen heaved a sigh of relief. However, the others seemed to have found a consensus as they all pointed their guns at him, furious to the extreme.
“You’re that newcomer? B*stard! You’re really too much.”
“What do you take yourself for? How dare you be so rude! You’re the luckiest one to join us, yet you don’t even care about your morals and directly rob us of our things! What do you mean?”
“Hand over those heaven-defying laws immediately, or else don’t blame us for being rude.”
…
Everyone was making a racket. Seeing that they were about to make a move, Zheng Shen immediately spoke up.
“Alright, everyone be quiet for a moment.”
He clearly still had a lot of weight in the crowd. After saying one sentence, the crowd immediately stopped arguing.
“Ye Xiao, why did you do this? Monopolizing everyone’s share all at once. Don’t you think that this is too much?”
Ye Xiao directly opened his mouth to explain,
“Previously, you didn’t tell me about these rules, so I didn’t know that there were these rules. If you had told me, I definitely wouldn’t have done this.”
Zheng Shen’s face could not help but twitch violently for a moment before he said,
“What kind of unreasonable excuse is this? Even if I did not tell you about this kind of thing, you should know, right? Since you have already joined us, it is impossible for you to snatch the things in our hands.”
Ye Xiao chuckled.
“All of you came before me. All of the rules were set by all of you. If you say whatever you want, wouldn’t that be too unfair to me?
“If that’s the case, what’s the point of me joining you?
“All of you came early, so you absorbed a wave of heaven-defying laws early. No, to be precise, it’s the heaven-defying laws that you’ve absorbed for a long time.
“In this way, I’ve suffered a lot more losses than all of you, so I definitely need to make up for it. Otherwise, if the gap between us is too big, won’t I be bullied by all of you in the future?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he was immediately opposed by everyone.
“Aren’t you being a little unreasonable? We came earlier than you because we cultivated earlier! No one asked you not to come earlier than us, but you came later yourself. Do you want to blame us?”
“You’re right, don’t force your mistakes on us. We’re not your family or friends, and we don’t owe you anything. Why should we be responsible for paying for your late arrival?”
“Hand over our things immediately. Otherwise, we’ll make you suffer.”
Ye Xiao naturally knew that from a moral point of view, what he did was indeed not very honorable. However, it was also not honorable for the other party to lie to him.
Everyone was not good people to each other. Naturally, there was no need to talk about kindness and morality to the other party.
He would continue being a scoundrel to the end.
“Of course, if you feel that I didn’t do the right thing, it’s fine. I can choose to withdraw from all of you. Everyone is in the opposing camp. If you attack me, I won’t say anything.
“However, although I’m only one person, before I’m killed, I’ll definitely take one of you away.”
The sentence was not voiced too loud, but it sounded very powerful.
As soon as that sentence was said, everyone present was instantly choked.
Many people’s faces were flushed red.
When Ye Xiao said that, he instantly blocked all of their paths.
It was simply too shameless. Too shameless.
Completely unreasonable. He was truly playing hooligan with them.
“You… You are a Supreme Sovereign regardless. How can you say such shameless words?”
“Shameless! Truly shameless!”
Zhang Shen’s expression was also very ugly.
After taking a deep breath, he could not help but open his mouth and say,
“Ye Xiao, don’t mess around! We’re all on the same side now. Don’t do things that affect unity. Return all those heaven-defying laws to them properly. Forget about today’s matter. I won’t pursue it any further.”
“I’m really sorry. I’m afraid that won’t do. That’s because I’ve already refined all the law energy. If I want to give it to them, I’m afraid I’ll have to extract it directly from my cultivation base, causing my cultivation base to drop by a large margin.
“That’s because refining the law energy and refining it again will not only consume the same amount of law energy as before. It will consume even more law energy.”
“Then you must also refine that law energy for us!”
“Right! You can’t be so unreasonable.”
Ye Xiao laughed coldly.
“Do you think that I will agree? Lowering my cultivation, won’t you be able to knead me as you wish? If you want me to lower my cultivation, then I think that we might as well start a war directly. It will save us a lot of trouble.
“Either I take one or two of you away, or you kill me. However, it seems that no matter what you do, you won’t be able to obtain the power of laws in my body.”
When those words were said, everyone immediately felt even more devastated.
Ye Xiao had really played the scoundrel to the extreme.
However, they still did not have any methods.
If they wanted to take back that portion of the power of the rules that belonged to them, the only way was to start a war.
Even so, given that Ye Xiao’s strength was not low if they were to start a war, the losses they would incur would be very great. It might even be more than the losses they would incur if they were to take back that portion of the power of laws.
Moreover, more importantly, it would really be very difficult for them to successfully take back that portion of the power of laws that belonged to them.
That was because the truth was just like what Ye Xiao had said. Once the war started, there would only be two scenarios.
The first scenario was that Ye Xiao would completely fall and they would not be able to get a single cent.
The second scenario was that before Ye Xiao died, he would drag one of them along with him, or even two of them along with him.
In such a situation, the probability of them starting a war was completely zero.
If it was just a simple venting of the anger in their hearts, it would be fine. However, if the price was not just injuries, but there was a possibility of endangering their lives, then everyone was still unwilling.
After all, those who could cultivate to their level were not fools. Their state of mind was also far from what an ordinary person could compare to.
No matter how angry they were, they would not allow themselves to lose control.
They would put themselves in the calmest state, adjust themselves, and carefully distinguish between what was good for them with what was not good for them.
Seeing that the negotiation had once again fallen into a deadlock, Zhang Shen stepped forward and said,
“Forget it, let’s call it a day. This matter is also my fault. After all, I did not explain this rule to him in the beginning.
“However, Ye Xiao, from today onwards, you can not do this anymore. Otherwise, even if the next war really starts, we will not let you off so easily.”
The others were somewhat unwilling.
“We let him off so easily?
“Is there a mistake? We spent so much effort to find him, and in the end, we let him off so easily? Isn’t that letting him off too easily?”
“That’s right. This fellow should at least receive some punishment!”
Zhang Shen pondered for a moment before saying,
“Then from today onwards, Ye Xiao will be in charge of destroying those high-level Supreme Sovereigns who are unwilling to join us. How about it?”
After hearing those words, everyone’s attitude seemed to have eased up a little.
That could be considered a pretty good punishment.
That was because the so-called high-level Supreme Sovereigns’ cultivation was equivalent to the Ancestral Dragon’s current cultivation. To them, it was still a little dangerous.
Those people definitely did not want to allow themselves to be injured so as not to affect their cultivation.
If there was someone who could be in charge of that matter, it would definitely be the best for them.
Everyone immediately nodded in agreement.
“That’s great!”
“I agree to this plan.”
“I agree as well.”
Zhang Shen immediately turned his gaze towards Ye Xiao.
“Ye Xiao. What do you think of my decision?”
Ye Xiao pondered for a moment before nodding his head in agreement.
“Alright, no problem.”
He was very clear in his heart that even if he wanted to act shamelessly, there had to be a limit. He could not go too far.
Otherwise, if he forced those people into a corner, there was a possibility of them rebounding from the bottom and jumping over the wall in desperation.
That was not the result he wanted.
Moreover, he had already calculated in his heart that after that matter, those people would definitely lock their ‘share’ and add a seal. He would be able to obtain some more power of laws in a short period of time, it was really impossible for him to obtain any more law energy.
Forget it, he should leave it at that.
He would take things one step at a time, and perhaps he would obtain some new gains in other places.
