"Become the ultimate powerhouse?"
Upon hearing this from the Shadow of the Upper Realm, Ye Ling paused for a moment, thinking he had misheard.
He had posed as an assassin sent by the Lord of the Upper Realm, intending to extract useful intelligence from the Shadow of the Upper Realm. He never expected to receive such a magnificent gift package!
The Shadow of the Upper Realm seemed to have firmly identified Ye Ling as the assassin sent by the Lord of the Upper Realm and said to Ye Ling, "Kid, since you already possess the Great Dao Heart and have become a Creation God, you should know that a true Creation God is the limit of your cultivation path. To become an ultimate powerhouse, you must obtain the Seed Source of the Origin World or the origin inheritance of an ultimate powerhouse, right?"
Ye Ling frankly replied, "I don't know."
The Shadow of the Upper Realm faltered, then said, "It doesn't matter if you don't know. I can responsibly tell you that although I cannot help you obtain the Seed Source of this Origin World, I can help you get the origin inheritance of an ultimate powerhouse!"
Ye Ling smiled at the Shadow of the Upper Realm and asked, "The origin inheritance of an ultimate powerhouse you speak of, isn't it that of the Lord of the Upper Realm?"
The Shadow of the Upper Realm shook its head and said, "It seems you truly know nothing about ultimate powerhouses. Listen carefully, an ultimate powerhouse's origin inheritance only appears after their demise. The Lord of the Upper Realm is not dead, how can you obtain his origin inheritance?"
"Besides, even if you release me, I won't be able to kill him in a short time."
Ye Ling said, "Since it's not the origin inheritance of the Lord of the Upper Realm, then it's yours?"
The Shadow of the Upper Realm's mouth twitched, then it said to Ye Ling, "I am still alive. If you think you can obtain my origin inheritance by killing me, then you can try. Even if I die, I will absolutely not leave my origin inheritance to you!"
Seeing the resolute look in the Shadow of the Upper Realm's eyes, Ye Ling shook his head and smiled, "Don't be nervous. I was just joking. You are an ultimate powerhouse, and even if I wanted to kill you, I couldn't!"
What Ye Ling said was the truth. After all, he had made a move against the Shadow of the Upper Realm in the previous cycle, and the Shadow of the Upper Realm still appeared in this cycle, which meant he was incapable of completely killing the Shadow of the Upper Realm.
The Shadow of the Upper Realm snorted coldly, "Kid, you shouldn't make such jokes! If I hear such rebellious words from you again next time, even if I die, I will not let you become an ultimate powerhouse."
Ye Ling smiled and said, "I understand. No more jokes next time, I'll get straight to business."
The Shadow of the Upper Realm did not grasp the true meaning of Ye Ling's words and continued to ask, "Kid, before we start cooperating, you should at least let me know your name, shouldn't you?"
Ye Ling said frankly, "My name is Wang Li Ren."
"Wang Li Ren?" The Shadow of the Upper Realm was stunned. "This doesn't sound like the naming style of the Lord of the Upper Realm. Are you truly a dark creature created by the Lord of the Upper Realm?"
Ye Ling smiled and said, "I never said I was a dark creature. I merely have some cooperation with the Lord of the Upper Realm."
The Shadow of the Upper Realm asked, "Then are you a traitor from the lower realms?"
Ye Ling nodded and continued to lie with a straight face, "Well... the benefits promised to me by the Lord of the Upper Realm were too great to refuse, so I agreed to the Lord of the Upper Realm to come with Tian Xing to kill you."
Tian Xing, standing nearby, couldn't help but sigh at Ye Ling's ability to lie without blushing, thinking Ye Ling's face was thicker than city walls!
After hearing Ye Ling's answer, the Shadow of the Upper Realm looked deeply at Ye Ling, then said, "I will tentatively believe your identity. Release me first."
Ye Ling smiled and said, "That won't do. You are still painting a picture for me. I will not release you until I see tangible benefits."
The Shadow of the Upper Realm said grimly, "If you don't release me, I won't be able to give you that origin inheritance."
Ye Ling said, "In that case, I'll just hand you over to the Lord of the Upper Realm. I am naturally suspicious and don't really believe what you say."
Saying this, Ye Ling didn't even bother to retrieve the Upper Realm Pearl and was about to leave the inheritance ground with the Shadow of the Upper Realm.
Seeing that Ye Ling was serious, the Shadow of the Upper Realm quickly said, "Wait! I can tell you the location of the origin inheritance first! But you need to agree to one condition!"
Ye Ling replied, "You state the condition first, and I'll see if the risk is too great."
The Shadow of the Upper Realm quickly replied, "The risk is not great. You just need to retrieve the Upper Realm Pearl, but don't give it to me. After you obtain the origin inheritance, then give me the Upper Realm Pearl!"
"The Upper Realm Pearl is my capital for a comeback. If you leave here like this, I'll be completely finished!"
Hearing this request from the Shadow of the Upper Realm, Ye Ling pondered for a moment, seemingly assessing the risks involved.
After all, the Shadow of the Upper Realm had recovered its strength with the help of the Upper Realm Pearl the last time he came. Although he had defeated the Shadow of the Upper Realm then, it was possible that the Shadow of the Upper Realm had hidden trump cards.
Ye Ling did not want his plan to go awry because of his own unsubstantiated origin inheritance.
Although his plans had never been perfectly executed.
Tian Xing said at this moment, "Ye... Wang Li Ren, I think we can agree to the Shadow of the Upper Realm's request first. If he can truly provide the origin inheritance and allow you to become an ultimate powerhouse, then the situation in the Chaos Battlefield will change drastically!"
"With such a great reward, compared to the risk... I personally believe it is entirely worth it!"
"Moreover, the Upper Realm Pearl is in our hands, and the Shadow of the Upper Realm is still suppressed by your runes. He cannot cause any major trouble!"
Ye Ling nodded slightly and said to Tian Xing, "You are right. Can you retrieve the Upper Realm Pearl alone through the inheritance of the Lord of the Upper Realm?"
Tian Xing smiled and said, "You underestimate me too much. After all, I am the Grand Marshal leading the dark army. If I can't even retrieve a small inheritance, then I am not qualified to hold that position."
Ye Ling said, "Alright, then you go and retrieve the Upper Realm Pearl for me. After you get it, don't come to me. Return to the Chaos Battlefield, and I will contact you."
Tian Xing glanced at the Shadow of the Upper Realm, then said to Ye Ling, "Okay, I'll wait for your contact."
With that, Tian Xing flew towards the depths of the inheritance ground to undergo the trial.
Ye Ling did not linger in the inheritance ground. He took the Shadow of the Upper Realm out of the inheritance ground and teleported back to the Remnant Evil Continent. He said to the Shadow of the Upper Realm, "Tian Xing has gone to get the Upper Realm Pearl as you requested. Where is the origin inheritance you spoke of?"
The Shadow of the Upper Realm no longer made further demands. It took a deep breath and said to Ye Ling, "It is within an ancient ruin in the Chaos Battlefield. At that time, the Lord of the Upper Realm and I jointly hunted an ultimate powerhouse who descended from the Origin Upper Realm. If there were no major accidents, his corpse should be buried there."
Ye Ling said, "Tell me the coordinates, I'll go confirm it first!"
