Chapter 278 : A Better Candidate
Chu Sang instinctively held her breath, cautiously observing the gradually coalescing shadow. This figure was clearly not the same human god she had encountered before. He didn't immediately launch an attack. To be honest, the atmosphere of their standoff had a slightly eerie harmony. The person actively released a goodwill gesture of wanting to negotiate.
Of course, Chu Sang knew full well how false this goodwill was. All the misdeeds Qin Xixue had committed over the years were manipulated by this person. The deaths of her and her senior brothers and sisters in the original story were naturally related to him as well.
"Just now, why didn't you save her?"
Chu Sang tilted her head back slightly, honestly feeling a bit curious.
After all, Qin Xixue was the puppet he had nurtured for so many years. Leaving aside whether there was any affection between him and his puppet, but after years of effort, the puppet was destroyed just like that. Finding a replacement wouldn't be so easy.
"It seems you've discovered it. You're indeed smarter than I imagined." The person chuckled, turning to stare at her. "Because...... I've found a better candidate."
Having found a better puppet candidate, the old puppet naturally became useless.
"......"
"To be honest, you're very special." The human god's gaze towards her carried undisguised fervor. He had always thought that Qin Xixue, the chosen one with heaven and earth's rhythm far surpassing others, was the most perfect vessel. But the results were unsatisfactory. Qin Xixue's body couldn't store divine power at all and could only barely serve as a flesh puppet for him to command in the lower realm.
Merely this was absolutely not enough.
To completely take over the Spiritual Abyss Continent, divine power was necessary.
And his power was limited, unable to descend to the lower realm. He needed to find a physical vessel that could bear divine power......
After years of waiting, he had finally found the most perfect vessel, which was—Chu Sang before him!
Her body was extremely special, able to simultaneously bear spiritual qi and demonic qi, two completely opposing forces. The strength of her physical body far surpassed others, making her exactly the perfect vessel he had been seeking for years!
"Submit to me, submit to the divine realm, and you can obtain supreme power. Then, I will personally open the gates to the divine realm for you. You will be the first person to ascend from this continent in ten thousand years!"
Chu Sang's mouth twitched. Damn, was this person from a multi-level marketing background? Is this how he seduced Qin Xixue?? In this life, she had always been the one to make grand promises to others, never encountering someone who dared to make promises to her.
"The person you're talking about, it wouldn't happen to be me, would it?" She laughed it off, smiling, but the temperature in her eyes completely cooled. Her sword pierced through the shadow in front, but the dispersed shadow reformed in the next instant.
"Tsk, refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit. I kindly negotiate with you, yet you fail to appreciate it. Don't blame me for being impolite then."
"Then, take your kindness to hell with you."
Chu Sang would absolutely never become a puppet for any force. She would only be herself. The human god's attempt to negotiate with her had to end in failure.
Seeing that the soft approach didn't work, it was time for the hard approach.
He raised his palm, countless golden divine power threads condensing into thousands of strands, intending to mark and control her with divine power.
Chu Sang was entangled and constricted by countless divine power threads. For a moment, she seemed to become a marionette, her limbs no longer under her control. Another strange consciousness was rapidly invading her sea of consciousness. Unable to cut these divine power threads with spiritual power, she forcibly mobilized her divine sense, condensing it into sharp blades to sever the threads one by one!
The massive consumption of divine sense caused blood to seep from her ears, eyes, nose, and mouth. Her face was as pale as a fierce ghost. Seeing her struggling so hard, the opposite side couldn't help but chuckle, shaking his head and saying softly, "Why bother?"
In their eyes, all things are straw dogs.
Why bother opposing them?
Originally, she didn't need to suffer so much. She only needed to obey him docilely, and the benefits she could obtain were countless. The human god's coaxing voice carried a hint of eerie gentleness, "Qin Xixue was nothing more than an ordinary mortal, yet she could easily cross into Divine Transformation. You have a Heavenly Fire Spirit Root, far superior in talent to her. What rare material to be molded. As long as you obediently listen and work for us, ascension is just around the corner......"
