Chapter 2 I've given you my life!
Chapter 2 I've given you my life!
……
"You don't need to look at me like that."
Nan Feng said calmly, "Over the past tens of thousands of years, I've seen other humans who have obtained the Rakshasa's inheritance. It's just a pity that they were too stupid and too arrogant. Before they could grow up, they were wiped out by the descendants of the Angel God."
"But you're different, Bibi Dong."
Nan Feng's voice suddenly became serious and seductive, "In you, I see a quality that even the previous Rakshasa inheritors did not possess—extreme resentment and extreme endurance."
"I see true hope in you."
Bibi Dong took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in her heart, and spoke in a hoarse voice: "...What hope?"
"The hope of becoming a god!" Nan Feng said in a deep voice.
"While 100,000-year-old soul beasts are indeed powerful, our fate is destined to be tragic. We will either be annihilated by the heavenly tribulation that occurs every 100,000 years, or become your human soul rings."
"As for transforming and rebuilding? Ha, that's nothing more than giving up all power, handing your life over to greedy humans, and courting death."
"I don't want to die under the heavenly tribulation, nor do I want to die in vain."
Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes. As a smart person, she had already vaguely guessed the other party's intentions, but the guess was too crazy for her to believe.
"What exactly are you trying to say?"
Nan Feng looked down at her, his eight spear-like spider legs slightly retracted, making an extremely human-like "spreading hands" gesture.
"I want to cooperate with you."
"I will help you become a god, and you will lead me to transcendence."
"Didn't you scheme to get my spirit ring and spirit bone? No problem, I can give them to you."
"If you agree to my conditions, I'm even willing to sacrifice myself for you!"
"What did you say?!" Bibi Dong's pupils contracted.
A sacrifice?!
That's the ultimate way for a soul beast to sacrifice itself, meaning to voluntarily give up its life and dedicate its soul and power to humanity without reservation!
Why?
After the initial shock, Bibi Dong was not blinded by it; instead, she became even more vigilant as she stared at Nan Feng.
"There are no undeserved gifts in this world, let alone the sacrifice of one's life. You are the master of this Death Canyon, with a cultivation of ten thousand years. Why would you willingly sacrifice yourself for a human?"
Why?
Nan Feng snorted coldly, his huge compound eyes revealing an extremely human-like irritation and disgust.
"Because you're so annoying!"
Bibi Dong was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting this answer.
"A whole year! Three hundred and sixty-five days!" Nan Feng's voice was filled with deep resentment. "You're like a fly that you can't get rid of or kill, always bothering me every few days. Today you release poison, tomorrow you set traps, the day after you lure other soul beasts here to have a party..."
"In my hundred thousand years of life, I have never seen a human as annoying as you!"
"..."
Bibi Dong's lips twitched slightly; this was the first time a soul beast had ever disliked her for such a reason.
"Secondly," Nan Feng's tone shifted, becoming somewhat helpless, "you've used this past year to prove your perseverance. As the saying goes, it's not the thief you should fear, but the one who has his eye on you. How can I, the Emperor, possibly live in peace if I'm targeted by such a talented and ruthless thief?"
"Furthermore, given your growth rate, you'll probably reach level 95 or higher in just a few years. At that point, I'm afraid I'll truly become your spirit ring."
"Since I'm going to die anyway, and I'm going to be tortured by you, I might as well just use my life to gamble for a chance to transcend the realm of gods!"
These words are reasonable, reflecting both the arrogance of the strong and a compromise with reality.
But Bibi Dong still hadn't completely let her guard down.
She is a very controlling person and will never allow uncontrollable factors to exist.
"I don't believe you would trust me so easily," Bibi Dong said coldly. "Once the sacrifice is complete, you will only be a wisp of a soul. If I don't keep my promise then, there will be nothing you can do about it."
"You're right, I don't believe a single punctuation mark of a human oath." Nan Feng waved his enormous claws. "Therefore, I have a safer way."
"During the sacrifice, I will infuse the essence of my soul into the resulting soul bone. The soul bone is a physical entity, and also the dwelling place of my soul. If you want to discard me after I have served my purpose, or if you fail to help me become a god, I can detonate the essence of my soul within the soul bone at any time."
"The power of a 100,000-year-old soul bone exploding inside your body... Bibi Dong, you should be well aware of the consequences, shouldn't you?"
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes slightly and quickly began to make calculations in her mind.
Using the possession of one's soul within a soul bone as leverage? This is indeed the last resort a soul beast can employ.
If it were an ordinary Title Douluo, they might indeed be constrained by this.
but……
"Ha, you foolish beast." Bibi Dong sneered inwardly. "You greatly underestimate the power of a god. Once I inherit the Rakshasa godhood, wiping out a mere remnant soul within a soul bone will be a piece of cake!"
Once she becomes a god, she will set the rules!
At that time, whether this old spider is round or flat, won't it be at her mercy to knead it?
Thinking of this, a hint of cunning flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes, but on the surface she nodded solemnly: "Alright, I promise you. As long as I ascend to the Divine Realm, I will take you with me."
"It's a deal!"
Nan Feng laughed inwardly: 'They've taken the bait!'
This woman is indeed arrogant.
Infusing a soul into a soul bone? Only a fool would do that!
That's living under someone else's roof; you could be kicked out by the landlord at any time.
What he had to do was to completely integrate his own soul into Bibi Dong's martial soul!
This trick won't work for other soul masters, because the martial soul and the foreign soul will repel each other.
But Bibi Dong is different; her first martial soul is the Death Spider Emperor!
Same roots, same origin, a perfect match!
As long as he installs his soul, the "software," into Bibi Dong's martial soul, the "hardware," through a sacrifice, then he becomes part of Bibi Dong's martial soul, or even part of her soul.
Then, you want to eliminate him?
Unless you want to die together with them!
"Now that we've reached an agreement, let's begin."
Nan Feng stopped talking nonsense; he was about to collapse.
If a sacrifice isn't made soon, the bluff of "peak condition" will be exposed.
boom--!!!
In an instant, a terrifying crimson magnetic field suddenly erupted from Nan Feng, instantly sealing off the entire nest.
This is a voluntary sacrifice by a 100,000-year-old soul beast!
The domineering magnetic field directly imprisoned this area, and Nan Feng's massive body began to burn, transforming into the purest torrent of energy that surged wildly into Bibi Dong's body.
There was no pain, and there were no obstacles.
Because of their shared origin, this energy was even gentler than Bibi Dong had imagined.
A soul ring shimmering with an eerie red light slowly condensed beneath her.
……
The sacrificial ceremony went surprisingly smoothly.
Because it was a spirit beast that offered its sacrifice, the 100,000-year spirit ring, which would normally take several days or even months to absorb, was completely integrated with Bibi Dong in less than a day.
When the last wisp of energy returned to calm.
Inside the nest, Bibi Dong, who had been sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened her eyes.
Level 92!
A vast amount of soul power surged within her body, and the crimson 100,000-year soul ring pulsed silently, emanating a chilling aura.
"This is... the power of a 100,000-year-old spirit ring?"
Bibi Dong looked at her hands, a triumphant laugh spreading across her face. "Death Spider King, you've finally become my stepping stone! Once I complete the Rakshasa God Trial, your soul will be the first sacrifice to my flag!"
However, her smile froze on her face before it could fully bloom.
A strange, dizzy feeling suddenly struck without warning.
Immediately afterwards, a strong feeling of "weightlessness" came over me—it was the feeling of consciousness disconnecting from the body.
"What... happened?"
Bibi Dong was startled and instinctively wanted to raise her right hand to touch her forehead.
However, it was his left foot that was lifted up.
"?!"
Bibi Dong's pupils dilated in shock. She realized with horror that her body was spiraling out of control!
She clearly intended to "stand still," but her body seemed to have a mind of its own, stretching on its own and even twisting its neck, making a "crackling" sound.
Immediately afterwards, that familiar voice, which should have been sealed within the soul bone, resounded directly in the deepest part of her mind, right next to her soul:
"Is this what a human body is like? Tsk tsk, it's a bit fragile, but it feels pretty good to the touch."
"It's just that the few ounces of flesh on my chest are a bit heavy; I'm not used to it."
In that instant, Bibi Dong felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and an unprecedented sense of shame and anger surged to the top of her head.
"Death Spider King?! How can you control my body?! Shouldn't you be inside the Soul Bone?!"
"Get out! Get out of here!!"
Faced with Bibi Dong's hysterical roar, Nan Feng, who had successfully "taken over," appeared extremely innocent and deserving of a beating.
"Soul bone?"
"Did I say I was inside a soul bone?"
"You...you plotted against me?!" Bibi Dong felt her soul trembling. She desperately tried to regain control of her body, but discovered that her first martial soul, the Death Spider Emperor, was tightly entangled with this guy's soul and could not be separated at all!
"Don't say that, we're partners."
Nan Feng shrugged, responding innocently in his mental sea:
"As for why I can control your body... well, I'm not quite sure either."
"Perhaps it's because we're so compatible? After all, you're the Death Spider Queen, and so am I. We're family. Your body is my body, so why distinguish between you and me?"
"Besides, I've given you my life!"
"I'm going to kill you!!!"
Bibi Dong collapsed.
