Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!

Chapter 239 239: Treasure Spirit

Xu Shan sent a trace of his aura inside the pendant, slowly filling the precious gem with his corrupt aura.

Although the pendant was covered in a protective formation, it couldn't stop the invasion of aura, especially since Duan Mu had already opened the seam once.

The space inside the pendant became corrupt. Even the spirit inside the pendant wasn't able to stop it. It could only watch the world inside the pendant crack. The sky split apart, revealing a dark void that consumed everything in its path.

The Spirit simply watched the end of this precious place that its master had created for his son. However, that same son had handed this over to Xu Shan.

"Last time I didn't do anything because you haven't woken up entirely. But now that you're awake, do you really think I'll allow you to keep hiding?" Xu Shan asked, certain that the spirit within the pendant could hear him.

"If I can't have you, I would rather completely destroy you," he stated. "But do you think it will end with your destruction? Once this pendant is destroyed, the legacy of your master will forever be lost to this world."

"Moreover, the fact that I failed to get this legacy might upset me as well. Who do you think will bear the brunt of my anger? The son of your master will be suffering even more, all because of you. But that's none of my concern. I won't be blamed for that, as it'll be your fault."

"You..." The Spirit inside the pendant loomed at the cracking sky of the world within the pendant, hearing the threat loud and clear.

It was as if he wasn't even allowed to die at peace. Xu Shan used Duan Mu's mother to control him, and now he was using Duan Mu to control the treasure spirit. Even after knowing all that, the Treasure Spirit couldn't help but fall into this trap.

He had two choices. Either he could protect the legacy, even if it meant that the son of his creator was going to suffer a life worse than death. Or he could trade the legacy in exchange for the safety of Duan Mu.

"You don't have much time. Think clearly." Xu Shan stated as he noticed a small crack develop on the surface of the pendant.

Within seconds after he finished speaking, Xu Shan felt the restriction around the pendant ease. It was a sign of surrender, seeing which Xu Shan burst into laughter.

"Good decision."

With the restrictions completely gone, Xu Shan was able to send his physical body inside the pendant, similar to how Duan Mu was able to in the past.

His physical body appeared in the world within the Pendant, a world created by a man from a special long forgotten by many.

The world within the pendant was previously beautiful. However, at this moment, it was covered in darkness all around, cracks visible in the sky, all thanks to Xu Shan.

Xu Shan stopped corrupting the world with his aura. And as he stopped, the world once again began healing, the cracks slowly closing as the eventual destruction of this world was halted.

"What do you want from me?" Xu Shan was looking at the cracks in the sky heal when he heard a voice.

He turned around. "I'm sure you know what I want."

The moment he turned around, his face revealed a slight surprise. "Huh, you're a cat spirit? I thought it'd be some old bearded man."

"A bearded man?" The Cat Spirit asked, his eyes not hiding any trace of anger.

"Don't fret about that. Since I don't have much time, I'll tell you clearly. I want you to hand over the complete control over this world, and the legacy within. In exchange, I'll promise you that Duan Mu shall live, and I'll make sure this legacy never disappears."

"And if I'm in a good mood, I might allow him to come here to learn from you as well."

Xu Shan placed a deal on the table, making it as convincing as he could. He still hasn't forgotten how the Spirit had turned Duan Mu against him in the past. He knew that the Cat Spirit wasn't going to surrender this easily. Thus, he put a little lie on the table.Google seaʀᴄh NovelEnglish.net

He was sure that the Spirit would still be thinking about turning the tables on him. And it could only do that by training Duan Mu to become stronger, secretly. Xu Shan made the cat spirit consider the possibility of having time to train Duan Mu.

He could also see some cunningness flash in the cat's eyes. Instead of being completely destroyed, it was thinking about the future where it could outsmart him.

The Cat Spirit also considered the risks in handing over the legacy. But it knew that without the right bloodline, most of this legacy was useless, so there wasn't much harm in sharing it. The only beneficial thing for Xu Shan was this pendant and the world within, but it wasn't very special either.

The Cat Spirit didn't have to think long about it. Although the deal looked beneficial towards Xu Shan, it could see that it was gaining more benefits.

The Cat Spirit stood on two feet, raising its paws. Before it, a small core appeared. The Cat Spirit tossed the core towards Xu Shan.

"I accept. But if you don't keep your promise, I'll destroy the world within!" The Cat Spirit warned Xu Shan who caught the core.

Through the core, he had gained control over this world. Moreover, the core also contained some of the legacy.

Xu Shan was certain that the Cat Spirit hadn't shared the important parts of the legacy, but he didn't dwell on it. He had already thought of everything.

He took a step back to make the cat spirit think that it was the winner. However only he knew the extent of his planning. He had made a mistake in the past, but this time, he made sure to be extra careful, even if he had to be ruthless.
