Ye Ling smiled when he saw Tian Xing react to the Primordial Upper Realm. "What? Do you know how to get to the Primordial Upper Realm?"
Tian Xing's eyes were a little unfocused, but she quickly regained her senses and said to Ye Ling, "I, I don't know..."
Ye Ling chuckled, "Based on your performance just now, how much credibility do you think your words have?"
Tian Xing knew she couldn't fool him, but she still stubbornly said, "You don't need to try so hard. No matter what you do to me, I won't tell you anything about the Primordial Upper Realm."
With that, Tian Xing added, "Don't even think about soul searching. My soul is connected to the Lord of the Upper Realm. Although the Lord of the Upper Realm doesn't usually read my memories, if you make a move on my soul, the Lord of the Upper Realm will sense it immediately. At that time, let alone the Primordial Upper Realm, we'll all be finished together!"
Hearing Tian Xing's words, Ye Ling sighed slightly. "It seems you're a tough one to deal with... Then I'll just kill you."
"Judging by your rank, you should be a high-ranking member of the dark creatures. Killing you... should be a heavy blow to the dark creatures."
"Wait! You don't need to kill me!" Tian Xing quickly called out to Ye Ling when she saw him about to make a move.
Ye Ling smiled at Tian Xing and said, "Give me a reason not to kill you."
Tian Xing said, "I can defect to you and work for you."
Ye Ling chuckled, "I find you guys truly amusing. Aren't you created by the Lord of the Upper Realm? Why is it that one by one, you want to surrender when you encounter danger?"
Whether it was the Seven Pillar Gods, the Shadow Pillar, or the current Tian Xing, they had no psychological burden when it came to betraying the Lord of the Upper Realm.
Even the Lord of Evil, who was the vanguard of the Lord of the Upper Realm's invasion of the Primordial Lower Realm, was now slacking off and not considering the Lord of the Upper Realm's grand cause at all.
Thinking about it this way, the Lord of the Upper Realm was quite pitiful, with all his subordinates being traitors.
Tian Xing, however, said earnestly, "Although we were created by the Lord of the Upper Realm, we are also independent individuals who admire strength. There is nothing wrong with working for the strong."
"The Lord of the Upper Realm has been invading this Primordial Lower Realm for a long time, but he has been unable to obtain the Source of Seeds through countless cycles. Anyone with eyes can see that the Lord of the Upper Realm is no match for the two supreme beings, Good and Evil. In my opinion... the only reason the Lord of the Upper Realm is still alive is that Good and Evil don't want to kill him."
Ye Ling looked at Tian Xing with surprise, not expecting her to see things so clearly!
What surprised Ye Ling even more was whether it was appropriate for Tian Xing, a great general under the Lord of the Upper Realm, to speak of the Lord of the Upper Realm like this.
Tian Xing continued, "More importantly, Ye Ling, you are not even a supreme being, yet you managed to survive the Lord of the Upper Realm's personal interception. This shows that the Lord of the Upper Realm's luck is almost exhausted. Continuing to follow him will only lead to death."
"Instead of dying with the Lord of the Upper Realm, it's better to wisely defect to your side, at least to save my life."
Ye Ling couldn't help but ask, "Are you serious? Didn't you say earlier that your soul is connected to the Lord of the Upper Realm? Are you not afraid of the Lord of the Upper Realm settling the score for doing something so rebellious?"
Tian Xing said, "There are thousands of souls connected to the Lord of the Upper Realm, and I am just one of them. He doesn't check my soul. Moreover... the reason I have the idea to betray the Lord of the Upper Realm and defect to you is after I knew you were Ye Ling."
"Before that... I always thought our dark army had the advantage. In countless past cycles, I served the Lord of the Upper Realm with all my heart, and the Lord of the Upper Realm would not suspect me."
Hearing Tian Xing's reply, Ye Ling found her even more terrifying.
She could betray the Lord of the Upper Realm without hesitation, and she could also betray him without hesitation later on.
Ye Ling dared not trust such a person, but this did not prevent him from using Tian Xing.
Ye Ling asked Tian Xing, "These are all just words. Why should I believe you will work for me?"
Tian Xing said, "Currently, the entire dark creature army is under my command. I can disrupt my own army's formation and allow the Emperor's Palace to counterattack, seizing the resources of the Chaos Battlefield."
"As long as the Emperor's Palace gains an advantage in the Chaos Battlefield, the Lord of the Upper Realm cannot arbitrarily open the Chaos Battlefield in the Lower Realm. Then, the Emperor's Palace will have more resources to cultivate chosen ones."
"Although I don't know what Good and Evil's purpose is in cultivating chosen ones, having more resources to cultivate stronger chosen ones should be beneficial to you in every way, right?"
"And killing me doesn't have much meaning. The Lord of the Upper Realm can create another me at any time. My disappearance will only cause chaos in the dark army for a while. Once a new Tian Xing descends, the situation in the Chaos Battlefield will return to normal."
Ye Ling smiled, "After listening to your persuasion, I even feel that letting you go is a good thing... But seriously, I still don't trust you. And whether the next chosen ones are strong or not has nothing to do with me. I am no longer a chosen one."
"Instead of taking the risk of letting you go, it's easier to kill you here. At least it can cause some chaos among the dark creatures."
Seeing that Ye Ling still intended to act after she had said so much, Tian Xing's expression changed slightly, and she exclaimed in surprise, "I've analyzed so many pros and cons for you, why are you still insistent on killing me? What do you want me to do?"
Ye Ling smiled, "Tell me the information about the Primordial Upper Realm, and I'll let you go. I can even let you continue working for the Lord of the Upper Realm without betraying him."
Tian Xing frowned, "Ye Ling, why are you so obsessed with the Primordial Upper Realm? That place was never meant for you to go. With your strength, you can dominate the Chaos Battlefield. You are arguably the strongest below Good and Evil and the Lord of the Upper Realm, but if you go to the Primordial Upper Realm, your strength will not be enough."
"In that place, there are countless people stronger than you!"
Ye Ling said, "Whether I go to the Primordial Upper Realm or not is none of your concern. You just need to tell me the method to get to the Primordial Upper Realm."
"This is my only request now. Either you tell me the information about the Primordial Upper Realm, or I kill you now and then go out to slaughter all the dark creatures in the Fallen Phoenix City and the Shadow Pillar!"
"You... are unreasonable!" Anger welled up in Tian Xing's eyes. She never expected Ye Ling to be so stubborn!
Ye Ling ignored Tian Xing's anger and smiled, "My patience is not very good. Make your choice quickly... Tell me the information about the Primordial Upper Realm, or remain unyielding unto death?"
Tian Xing fell silent. After thinking for a moment, she said to Ye Ling, "It's not impossible for me to tell you information about the Primordial Upper Realm, but you need to promise me two conditions."
Ye Ling said, "Speak."
Tian Xing: "First, find a way to free me from the control of the Lord of the Upper Realm, at least decouple my soul from the Lord of the Upper Realm."
Ye Ling smiled, "I'm familiar with this. I can do it. What's the second condition?"
Tian Xing looked directly at Ye Ling and said in a deep voice, "You must take me to the Primordial Upper Realm with you!"
