Peerless: The Evil Soul Master's Guide to Saving the World

Chapter 248: Compared to the throne of God, I care more about authority...

Just as the news of the death of the Grand Elder of Haotian Sect and the death of all the disciples and elders who went to Shrek for the auction spread rapidly with the departure of Xu Jiujiu and others, Xu Cheng also smiled.

Mingdu is not far ahead.

This huge city is still brightly lit even at night. Having lived here for more than ten years, I have long regarded it as my second home.

The Holy Spirit Church's worshippers left halfway, and the Mingde Hall elders also went ahead and stepped into the territory of Mingdu, so they didn't have to worry about whether there were pursuers from behind.

"Are you going back to the academy or following me?" Xu Cheng turned around and glanced at Tang Ya, who was carrying a flying soul guide behind him, with a questioning look.

"What are you going to do?" Tang Ya asked back.

"Check the harvest this time." Xu Cheng grinned.

"Are you afraid that I will steal yours?" Tang Ya said dissatisfiedly.

"That's not the case. I'm afraid that after checking the harvest, I won't be able to help myself when I see you..." Xu Cheng said with high emotional intelligence.

"Hmph! I, I'll go with you. You can't give that 30,000 year old plant-type soul bone to anyone else!" Tang Ya bit her red lips lightly, looking a little shy.

"Okay, let's go." Xu Cheng held the girl's slender waist, and the two of them disappeared in the sky above Mingdu...

……

"Buzz!"

In a basement.

As the jade box was opened, the bloodthirsty and murderous aura that had appeared in the light curtain once again filled the air. The scarlet murderous intent filled the entire secret room. Even Tang Ya couldn't help shivering and leaned towards Xu Cheng.

"Is this something Bibi Dong used before?" Tang Ya poked her head out curiously.

"Yes." Xu Cheng nodded slightly.

The corners of his mouth curled up: "No wonder the group of people from Haotian Sect disregarded their reputation and wanted to surround me. I think they already knew the details of this thing."

"Acheng, do you want to try Rakshasa?" Tang Ya asked hesitantly.

"..."Xu Cheng was silent for a while and shook his head.

Is Rakshasa weak?
It's not that weak, after all, it's a first-level god, the same existence as Rong Nianbing, controlling the power of evil and resentment killing, including all the evil and negative emotions in the world. It's a level higher than the seven monsters except Tang San.

But is it strong?
Two against one and still defeated by Tang San...

It's hard to comment.

However, in Xu Cheng's eyes, "He" is still good after all. This god position is definitely powerful enough. If the previous Rakshasa God and the Sea God were to fight one-on-one, the former would not necessarily lose.

The strength still lies in the successor.

If he could inherit both thrones, Rakshasa God could be considered. With the previous one dead, perhaps he wouldn't even have to take the test.

and……

In the sea of ​​spirit.

A ball of gray mist swayed, and Alex slowly condensed into a shape. He glanced at the dagger in the jade box in surprise, and a strange color flashed in his eyes, "Xiao Cheng, this thing is probably not as simple as what the auction said, just a dagger used by a god."

"Well, teacher, I see..." Xu Cheng smiled.

Generally speaking, only the main weapon of a first-level deity can be called a super artifact, which is not even a little bit different from a pseudo-artifact or an artifact.

And this dagger is probably one of the fragments of the super artifact...

Electrolux's figure slowly emerged in the secret room.

Tang Ya showed a hint of surprise, but seeing that Xu Cheng looked normal, she didn't say anything more.

"Quiet!"

Alex glanced at the bloodthirsty atmosphere in the room, and then, like a mouse encountering a cat, he retreated into his dagger.

He picked up the dagger with great interest. "This thing is probably quite old. As I gradually understand the gods of this world, this kind of thing is likely to be passed down from generation to generation. They are indeed very powerful and should carry the power of the corresponding god position, helping the gods to burst out with more powerful power. However, such a long history also illustrates a problem..."

Xu Cheng immediately understood: "They have been passed down from ancient times to today, but there has been no improvement at all. Either no one in the God Realm is able to improve them, or they don't have enough authority..."

Yi Lao nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, you and I think the same, but we are still too weak. Let's touch the level of God first, and then explore the things behind it."

Electrolux did not expand on the previous topic, but stopped there. After all, thinking too much now would be unrealistic.

He weighed the dagger in his hand, then removed the white cloth on the handle, and a broken mark suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

"If I'm not mistaken, this weapon should have been a long sickle. This dagger might be the short blade at the bottom..." Alex pondered as he looked at the broken marks.

"Sure enough." A hint of joy flashed in Xu Cheng's eyes.

This is a super artifact.

The super artifact in the original work is definitely one of the few even in the world of gods.

And this super artifact, if he guessed correctly, should be the Rakshasa God's - Rakshasa Demon Scythe, the main weapon. Bibi Dong died after a battle with the Sea God Tang San, and this Rakshasa Demon Scythe was probably scattered all over the continent with the passage of time.

"No!" Xu Cheng suddenly frowned.

This super artifact fragment was obtained from Shrek Academy.

When Tang San killed the Rakshasa God, it was in full view of everyone, which meant that Shrek Academy, the former Heaven Dou Empire, the Tang Sect, the Clear Sky Sect, and the Spirit Hall were all there...

Xu Cheng looked thoughtful.

After the victory, will Tang San hand over this super artifact fragment to his relatives?

possible!
Bringing it back to the divine realm...is unlikely.

After all, Tang San has always cultivated Douluo Continent as the Tang Family Continent. Many things brought back to the God Realm will be monitored and checked, like the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, the Golden Tree, etc. If he were Tang San, he would most likely leave the fragments of this super artifact on the mainland.

First of all, excluding the Tang Sect, the only ones left are the Haotian Sect, the split Heavenly Soul and Dou Ling, and Shrek Academy!

A smile appeared on Xu Cheng's lips.

A god position without any constraints is a good god position.

Although he will most likely be tested by the God of Destruction in the end, he will never miss this "free" Rakshasa God.

"Buzz!"

Electrolux let go of the short blade, a lavender glow lit up, and then slowly floated in front of Xu Cheng.

"If you can collect them all, it will be a handy weapon. By the way, it seems that you don't have any weapon so far?" Alex said with a smile.

"I'm only used to using soul guides..." Xu Cheng shrugged.

The concepts of the two seem a little blurred.

"Haha, but I remember that you have another super artifact, which was given to you by the God of Destruction before, but it seems that you have never used it?" asked Alex.

"That's right." Xu Cheng spread out his right palm, and a long staff as black as ink appeared in his hand.

Tang Ya’s beautiful eyes widened.

She had always thought that the inheritance of the God Realm required following the rules and regulations, and that one had to wait until one reached level ninety-nine Ultimate Douluo to begin inheriting. However, she had never expected that Xu Cheng, at the age of only fifteen, had already come into contact with the gods and gained their attention (inheritance).

"But the original intention of the God of Destruction was to leave this super artifact to me as a message tool. Once I decide to start accepting the inheritance assessment, I can awaken it..." Xu Cheng said with emotion, dragging a super artifact and a fragment in each hand.

"Why, you look down on the God of Destruction?" Alex said with a smile.

"That's not the case..." Xu Cheng murmured.

"Compared to becoming the God of Destruction, I prefer to have the power of destruction..."

Alex glanced at his student in amazement and smiled. "Throughout the ages, becoming a god has always been what humans desire. Countless geniuses who shocked the times have fought for a godly position, but few are like you."

"The former means bondage, and the latter means freedom?"

Alex pondered and shook his head, "Not absolutely, but in my opinion, the power of the gods in this world is indeed too dispersed. Even if a single god is powerful, it is only because of his own strong cultivation or talent..."

Xu Cheng nodded slightly.

Are good and evil strong?
The previous generation was ridiculously strong, but after passing the throne to Ji Dong and Lie Yan - they basically became Tang San's dogs.

"Of course, maybe I'm a little fanciful..." Xu Cheng smiled bitterly.

The position of God is something that is unattainable to countless people, but he has repeatedly postponed it.

"No, no, no, this is my student." Alex comforted him, "You are very talented, and your luck is incredible. Even I have never heard of it. You do have the confidence to do this. You must know that geniuses always walk alone. Everything in this world is created by countless geniuses..."

"So what does the teacher mean?" Xu Cheng pondered.

"Perhaps, you can first collect all the super artifacts of the Rakshasa God and try for the long-vacant throne, or...authority." Alex said with a smile.

"If you can really surpass the throne of God and control the authority, it will be a new subversion for this world."

"..." Xu Cheng nodded slightly, "Let me try..."

It’s not that he doesn’t want to become a god.

The truth is that this god has too many restrictions and does not behave like a god at all. He just has infinite lifespan and powerful strength. Even the people he brings to ascend to the upper realms are strictly controlled. He can't even bring up a second-level god. Can you believe it?
If I become a god by then, and Tang San directly criticizes me, saying that the God Realm cannot interfere with the Mortal Realm, and demands that I sever ties with the Sun-Moon Empire, that would be a mess...

Tang Ya's mouth twitched when she heard this.

The deity position that would drive countless people crazy would be spread out, but Xu Cheng was hesitant about it. It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others.

"By the way, you can absorb this ten thousand year old snake vine soul bone here. I will protect you." Xu Cheng took out an emerald green soul bone from the ring, handed it to Tang Ya and said with a smile.

"Oh."

Tang Ya looked solemn.

She couldn't fall behind either. It was said that after becoming a god, she could only take a few people with her. After the tragic story of Ma Hongjun and his lover was made into a movie, she went to watch it and couldn't stop shedding tears, fearing that she and Xu Cheng would be separated by the Yin and Yang.

Therefore, the best way is for her to become a god!

……

Holy Spirit Church headquarters.

A bottomless place.

Only Xu Cheng's footsteps were clearly audible. This was a long and dark corridor with ghost-head lamps hanging on both sides. Under the dim light, Xu Cheng's shadow swayed.

I don't know how long it took.

Xu Cheng stopped. "The Grand Elder is inside, so I won't go in..." Zhongli Wu said indifferently, and with a wave of his sleeves, he disappeared from here.

"..."

Xu Cheng slowly opened the door and stepped in.

The world inside and outside is completely different.

It was a pool of blood, with countless dead souls wailing in agony, as if they were in a world of hell. They kept struggling to escape, but were held tightly by the blood pool and unable to leave.

Ye Xishui sat cross-legged on the stone plate in the center of the huge blood pool, and slowly opened his eyes.

"You came?"

"Yeah." Looking at the scene around him, Xu Cheng remained calm, but there was a ripple in his heart.

He was the one who took the initiative to come and see Ye Xishui.

The main purpose was to test whether this once strongest evil soul master was seriously injured after the battle with the peak Moon.

But now seeing...

Half of his hair is as white as snow, and the other half is jet black and translucent.

It is somewhat similar to Moon in the original novel after being attacked by the evil soul master.

His face was pale, and his originally smooth skin was wrinkled. It was obvious that Moon was really ruthless and was planning to die together...

"So miserable?" Xu Cheng secretly sighed in his heart.

This old witch has been crazy all her life, and now she is ruined by her own lover. I wonder how she feels.

But it's a good thing.

Ever since Ye Xishui suffered a severe blow, Zhongli Wu's faction of the Holy Spirit Cult has been completely hiding itself and has not competed with Xu Cheng's faction. It is not known whether it was because of something Ye Xishui said or if Zhongli Wu recognized the reality.

In any case, the disappearance rate of ordinary people in the Sun-Moon Empire has been greatly reduced.

I guess the system's rewards will be coming soon...

Ye Xishui looked at Xu Cheng with a smile on her face.

The more Xu Cheng forbade the Holy Spirit Church to kill, and the closer he got to being a "saint", the happier she was. After all, in her eyes, there was no one as pure as a blank sheet of paper, especially someone like this who could remain untainted even in the midst of mud.

A person cannot be just white.

The same is true for Xu Cheng, but the whiter he covers himself up, the darker his heart is.

Soon, soon...

"I'm glad that you can come to see me, but as the Holy Son of the Holy Spirit Church, time is precious. Please don't waste it on my broken body." Ye Xishui said with a smile.

Xu Cheng: ???
Why does it feel wrong?
This tone... sounds like a senior's advice to an outstanding junior.

This look... is even more wrong.

"How are your injuries?" Xu Cheng asked tentatively.

"Alas, my life is over. Moon En tried to kill me. Although I escaped with my life, my strength has plummeted to less than 20% to 30% of its original value. My lifespan has also been sharply reduced. To put it bluntly, I'm afraid there is no difference between me and the former Moon En." Ye Xishui said in a deep voice.

"But...if I can see the rise of the Holy Spirit Church in my lifetime, I will die without regrets."

She looked at Xu Cheng with a burning and crazy gaze.

Waiting for the latter's answer.

"it is good."

Xu Cheng nodded slightly.

The rise of the Holy Spirit Church is also divided into factions, right?
The rise of my Xu Cheng faction is also the rise of the Holy Spirit Church, isn’t it?
Ye Xishui's crazy eyes met Xu Cheng's affirmative gaze, the corners of her mouth raised, and a sharp and piercing sound echoed throughout the secret room.

……

Ye Xishui trusts me so much?
On the way back.

Xu Cheng frowned, thinking about this question.

Why trust him? Just because he is the Holy Spirit Son?
This reason obviously does not hold water.

That is……

"Your Highness, the Holy Son, the Grand Elder has been in seclusion for many days, and you are the only one who has met him in the entire Holy Spirit Church." The second elder, Nangong Wan, said with a flattering smile, interrupting Xu Cheng's thoughts.

Xu Cheng raised his eyebrows.

He looked at Nangong Wan with interest, and suddenly laughed: "Elder Nangong, I hindered your human trafficking and even ordered the Holy Spirit Church to persecute civilians. Don't you hate me?"

"Hey, Your Highness the Saint, that's not true. Your every word and action must be full of deep meaning..." Nangong Wan winked and grinned.

Xu Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly. He could not hear any perfunctory tone in Nangong Wan's words.

hiss……

Xu Cheng suddenly thought of something.

Because he has a charity system, he can act like a "saint" and do so many seemingly "unreasonable" things.

But what about from the perspective of a bystander?
He suddenly understood everything.

That's it!

Ye Xishui...I'm afraid she really considers herself as the heir.

She was waiting for the moment when her dark side would be revealed. That would be the feast for the Holy Spirit Church...

After figuring it out, Xu Cheng grinned.

This is the most difficult "lie" to expose.

In that case, let Ye Xishui take the mystery into the coffin.

A cold light flashed in his eyes.

……

"Beibei hasn't been found yet?"

Poseidon Pavilion.

All the ministers gathered together.

The night is deep and the moon is high in the sky.

The elders had no desire to sleep.

Before he could recover from the shock of the deaths of Tang Wen and others, he learned that Bei Bei was missing.

"No..." Yan Shaozhe shook his head.

At this moment, he did not gloat, but felt a chill in his heart.

Beibei's spirit was promoted today, but he disappeared that night. Could it be that there is someone inside the academy...

He subconsciously glanced at Old Xuan who was gnawing on a chicken leg, and quickly shook his head.

What are you thinking about?

"I have mobilized the inner courtyard monitoring team and teachers from various colleges to search for him, but have not found him yet. According to the teacher on duty at the duel arena, he has never seen Beibei..." he explained.

"..."

For the first time, Moon looked grim.

This is a slap in his face.

But it also indirectly reflects the laxity of Shrek Academy's defense. It was attacked by the Body Sect and the Holy Spirit Sect in turn a few days ago. If he hadn't stepped in, I'm afraid...

"It's bad, Mr. Mu!"

Xian Lin'er flashed over.

"What's the matter?" Moon looked solemn.

"Beibei, Beibei is in the hands of the Sun-Moon Empire!" Xian Lin'er said with an unpleasant look on her face, handing over a letter in Beibei's handwriting.

"What? How is that possible!" Old Song slammed the table and stood up, his face full of anger.

"Yes, Lin'er, it's only been a few hours since he disappeared. How could he... Could it be that the Sun-Moon Empire is deceiving us?" Old Zhuang asked suspiciously.

"If there wasn't enough evidence, I wouldn't be here." Qian Duoduo followed closely.

"I asked the Xingluo Empire, Xuanming Sect and other forces. They didn't go far. According to them, when Xu Cheng left, there was a boy in Shrek Academy clothes standing next to him. Xu Jiujiu was even more certain that it was Beibei because she had met him once at the competition."

"This is too much!!!" Old Song was furious.

"Does the Sun and Moon Empire want to go to war?"

"Huh..." Moon sighed lightly. This time it was his fault. He was really too tired after the initiation and almost fainted. After instructing Beibei to return to the academy as soon as possible, he went to rest under the golden tree.

Who would have thought that...

It seems that Le Xuan has really betrayed us.

He closed his eyes and felt relieved.

"Don't worry, they won't do anything to Beibei. Just let him practice in the Sun-Moon Empire for the time being." Moon said softly.

"But Mr. Mu..." Xuanzi smacked his lips, quite dissatisfied.

"Then you go!" Moon suddenly shouted angrily, "You go to the Sun Moon Empire now and take Bei Bei back! How about it?!!"

Xuan Zi fell silent instantly.

"Okay, let's break up the meeting!"

Moon waved his hands, unwilling to look at everyone again.

Just leave.
