Weapon seller in the world of magic-Novel

The background story of Wang Zuo is quite straightforward and without any sort of conspiracies. He was the soul of the divine throne of the heavens where the jade emperor sits and rules the entire celestial plane of existence.

For eons, the divine throne went through several repairs and eventually went into a stage where it will cost a great number of resources and time. Hence, the jade emperor was forced to replace it with a new throne.

Obviously, Wang Zuo didn't like to be retired. He protested in rather a violent way, causing mayhem in the heavens and bringing a huge amount of losses of resources to the heavenly palace. As a result, he was expelled from the heavens for eternity.

While wandering all over the universe for about millions of years, he eventually ended up on this earth.

"So, let me get this straight. You were out of the job. So, you threw a tantrum at your boss and got kicked out? Seriously, that's not a very smart method to take revenge." Mark was flabbergasted by the story of this pale-looking spirit and couldn't help wondering how unwise he was for a weapon that lived for billions of years.

"Are you calling me stupid?" The spirit responded with a question. He might have a blank expression on his face but his words clearly indicated that he was displeased by Mark's words.

Mark shrugged his shoulders and answered, "It isn't necessary that only stupid people make stupid decisions. Even the intelligent ones also do. If I was in your position, I would ally myself with the bitter most enemy and provide him with all the confidential information I have on those gods to bring down the jade emperor."

The divine spirit stared at Mark for a few seconds before he looked down at the floor and muttered, "That's right. I could have lent support to the Chaos King. I missed an opportunity."

"Chaos King?" Mark wondered whether he is some sort of powerful demon or something. But then again, those matters have nothing to do with him at the moment. Hence, he put those thoughts away and asked the spirit, "So, how did you end up in the hands of Lord Yuqiang?"

The divine spirit shook his head, "He actually doesn't know who I am for I took the appearance of a scepter and identified myself as a wandering divine-grade weapon that is looking for a master and also a way to reach my peak."

"So, he is your master?" asked Mark with a hunch that the answer is no. After all, he doesn't believe that a weapon couldn't lie to its master.

Just like he thought, the divine spirit made it clear of its independence, "Obviously, he isn't. While he is a potential candidate, he was still a servant that serves the heavenly palace. There's no way I would accept someone like that as my master."

"Then, that means…" Mark wondered whether this divine spirit wanted him as his master.

The divine spirit nodded, "Yuqiang might have sent you here for his own mission but I cannot ignore the fact that you even managed to reach me. Not to mention, you are quite different from every other candidate who participated in this trial for the past four thousand years.

I don't know who your master is but I see that you could unleash powerful skills with an attack power of atleast two realms above your cultivation realm. It is the primary reason that I think that you will be suitable to wield my power."

"Okay, thanks I guess." Mark wasn't that keen on taking a damaged divine-grade weapon but he doesn't want to reject free credits either. Once the system becomes online, he can sell it and earn credits.

However, there was a small problem here. What if this spirit can read out his thoughts after entering into a contract? If the system is online, it would be different, but without its support, he wasn't that confident that he would be able to protect his mind.

While Mark was thinking of how to deal with this matter, the divine spirit continued, "In my present state, I will be able to transform into any type of weapon that you imagine and would be able to store enough energy to launch the full power of a Minor God (12-circle).

I can also imprison people inside this place and force them to battle against my transformations just like you earlier went through. However, my abilities will largely be affected by the person who launches that skill whether he is my master or not.

Lord Yuqiang is in Saint Realm (12-circle). Hence, the toughest monster I could conjure is an ancient beast named Xiezhi, which we encountered once during our travels.

And in your hands, since you are currently in the Supreme realm, I would be able to conjure the strongest legendary realm beast you have encountered in your life. Your memories will tell me that.

There are other amazing abilities that I can help you out but I think you will be more satisfied with my memory prowess.

I have roamed numerous places with Lord Yuqiang and will help you acquire countless treasures that mortals couldn't even dare to dream of.

If by chance you were able to repair me, naturally, my abilities will be enhanced further.

But, yes, there is a risk too. Unless you are as strong as a major god, I won't recommend you to enter the celestial plane in the future. A long time might have passed but I'm not sure whether the heavenly gods will turn hostile against you if they sense my presence in your mindscape.

I think I have said everything that needs to be said. The rest lies in your decision. You have five minutes to think. After that, I will send you back to the outside world and we will treat it like this proposition from me had never occurred."

Wang Zuo might have liked Mark as the latter passed the trial with flying colors but that doesn't mean that he will beg him for the contract. After all, he was once the divine throne of the heavens and he had his own pride.

At the same time, he was also confident that Mark would accept him. After all, which mortal would dare to resist such an offer?

Unfortunately for the divine spirit, Mark had different thoughts. He wasn't interested in the first place.

Upon hearing its abilities, the first thing that came to his mind is to use it as a personal gun, but then, he realized that it will access his memory.

It would also mean that he will not only expose the existence of the system but also his intentions of dismantling it to earn credits. That is enough for Mark to make his decision without any hesitation.

After brief thinking, Mark said, "Wang Zuo, I'll keep you in my storage ring for now and form the contract after I return to my home. You see, I'm currently on a vacation, right now. It's already disturbing that I was forced into participating in this trial without being given any choice. So, I don't want to think about complicated issues for the rest of my vacation."

The divine spirit didn't know why this is a complicated issue when it only requires a single drop of his blood to form the contract. But, as a spirit that has less intelligence than even a teenage human, all he could think was that Mark was wary of the heavenly palace and probably wanted to see its abilities beforehand to see whether it is worth the risk to form a contract.

As Mark asked him to wait for only three weeks, the divine spirit agreed to the arrangement.

"Alright." Mark let out a smile and proceeded to close his eyes as the divine spirit sent him back to the real world.

Meanwhile, on the island, Lord Yuqiang was in the middle of a chat with Song Yue, although it looked like he was interrogating her with a strange set of questions about her personal life.

He asked her how she grew up, how is her relationship with her parents and relatives, what does she think of her best friend, her happiest moment, her saddest moment, how she met Mark and how they fell in love, etc...

Song Yue was obviously uncomfortable but his identity as the god of seas and Lan Ju's insistence made her give honest answers to Yuqiang. Of course, those weren't the only reasons. Mark is currently in the middle of a trial and she doesn't want to anger this god over such things.

At first, she thought that this eccentric god probably wanted to learn about the important moments of her life as he had business with her fiancé. But soon, her thoughts changed as Lord Yuqiang asked, "So, when you slept, have you ever felt like a god, for example, being able to manipulate and reconstruct the world in your dreams as you wish?"

"Ehh?" Song Yue flinched in surprise and Yuqiang didn't miss that either, "You did?" He asked.
