"Lord of the Upper Realm..."
Hearing Hua Yue's words, Ye Ling felt a headache.
He never imagined that A Yu and Ding Dang could be connected to a being like the Lord of the Upper Realm!
If Di Chu were the only one behind this matter, Ye Ling wouldn't be overly nervous; he could resolve Di Chu by proceeding as usual.
But now that the Lord of the Upper Realm was involved, Ye Ling had to be cautious.
The Lord of the Upper Realm was the source of darkness, a supreme being whose power rivaled good and evil. Even a creator god like the Lord of Remnants and Evil was a servant of the Lord of the Upper Realm. Ye Ling was only slightly stronger than the Lord of Remnants and Evil now. If he were to confront the Lord of the Upper Realm directly, Ye Ling knew he would have no chance of winning.
To confront darkness, one must be prepared to be consumed by it.
Hua Yue continued, "Currently, Di Chu's soul resides in the Ninth Heaven. He has gathered most of the materials needed to recast his body. He only needs my sister's prescription to complete the recasting. Since I failed this time, Di Chu will only target A Yu with even greater power!"
As she spoke, a hint of despair appeared in Hua Yue's eyes.
By telling Ye Ling all the information she knew, she had effectively betrayed Di Chu. Even if Ye Ling didn't kill her today, she wouldn't survive until tomorrow.
After listening to Hua Yue, Ye Ling suddenly thought of something and asked her, "Do you want to live?"
"Of course, I want to live," Hua Yue replied without hesitation. "But I have no chance of survival now. My only wish is for you to grant me a quick death and spare me further suffering."
Ye Ling looked at Hua Yue's desperate expression and smiled slightly. "You don't need to be so nervous. I told you... no one else will know what happened here today except us."
World Extinguishing Spirit Fire: "Ye Ling, show some respect! I know too!"
Ye Ling continued to Hua Yue, "Therefore, as long as you bury this secret in your heart, Di Chu won't do anything to you."
Hua Yue gave a bitter smile. "Even so, if I don't get the prescription, Di Chu still won't let me go."
Ye Ling: "What if I can help you get the prescription?"
"You?"
Hua Yue was stunned, staring blankly at Ye Ling, unable to react for a moment.
She hadn't expected to hear such words from Ye Ling.
Ye Ling continued, "Of course, to get the prescription, you'll need to pay a small price."
Hua Yue eagerly asked, "What price?"
At this moment, she only wished to survive.
Since Ye Ling could give her hope of living, she would naturally pay any price!
Ye Ling chuckled lightly. "It's very simple. You will be my spy, staying by Di Chu's side at all times. Report the movements of Di Chu and the dark forces to me, and you must act as if you have never met me."
Hua Yue was taken aback. "That's it?"
She had expected to pay an unimaginable price, but she hadn't anticipated that Ye Ling's request would be so easy.
Betraying Di Chu and acting as a spy, she had no psychological burden.
After all, she hadn't been loyal to Di Chu from the beginning.
Ye Ling smiled slightly. "That's it. Are you willing?"
Hua Yue replied without hesitation, "Of course, I am!"
Ye Ling chuckled. "Since you agree to this condition, let's sign a soul contract. You sell your soul to me, and I'll ensure your loyalty."
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Hua Yue hesitated for a moment before finally nodding. "I understand. How do we sign the contract?"
Ye Ling condensed a blood contract with runes and moved it in front of Hua Yue. "Just sign this blood contract with your soul power."
"Alright."
Hua Yue no longer hesitated. She signed the blood contract condensed by Ye Ling with runes. Afterward, she felt a shackle being placed on her soul in the unseen realms. However, upon careful inspection, she found no anomalies.
Ye Ling retrieved the blood contract, removed the barrier, and smiled at Hua Yue. "That's it. Wait here, and I'll bring you the prescription you want."
Hua Yue bowed respectfully to Ye Ling. "Yes, Master."
Ye Ling gave Hua Yue a deep look. "Remember, the next time we meet, you must pretend you haven't seen me. Otherwise... even if I don't act, you will absolutely not survive!"
Hua Yue trembled but quickly steadied her mind and bowed respectfully to Ye Ling again. "This servant understands!"
"Hmm, farewell!"
Ye Ling nodded and left the Living Dead Forest with Ding Dang.
The moment Ye Ling left, Hua Yue collapsed to the ground, completely drenched in sweat.
Only after Ye Ling left did she truly perceive how powerful he was.
Just now, if Ye Ling had even slightly raised a finger, her soul would have been scattered!
While Hua Yue was filled with trepidation, Ye Ling and Ding Dang returned to Tian Ren City in the First Heaven, sending Ding Dang back to her nest.
The World Extinguishing Spirit Fire said to Ye Ling, "Kid, why are you letting Hua Yue live? And you want to give Di Chu the prescription? Are you trying to help Di Chu recast his body?"
Ye Ling chuckled. "I want Di Chu to recast his body."
The World Extinguishing Spirit Fire exclaimed in shock, "Kid, are you crazy? Di Chu is the oldest creator god, second only to Good and Evil. His peak power is absolutely incomparable to a half-baked creator god like the Lord of Remnants and Evil. If you let him recover his strength, you'll be creating a formidable enemy for yourself out of thin air!"
Ye Ling chuckled. "You said Di Chu is the oldest creator god with extraordinary power. Wouldn't it be a waste to kill him like this?"
The World Extinguishing Spirit Fire was stunned. "Kid, what do you mean? I don't understand."
Ye Ling smiled. "The prescription was given to Di Chu by me. We can alter a few ingredients, and Di Chu probably won't notice."
"After Di Chu recasts his body according to our method, we can then turn him into a puppet. Wouldn't that give us the combat power of a creator god out of nowhere?"
"Moreover... Hua Yue said that Di Chu can interact with the Lord of the Upper Realm. I'm wondering if I can use Di Chu's eyes to get a glimpse of the Lord of the Upper Realm's true appearance?"
Hearing Ye Ling's insane idea, the World Extinguishing Spirit Fire clicked its tongue and sighed. "You kid are truly a madman. It's one thing to try to control Di Chu, but you even want to confront the Lord of the Upper Realm directly. I think you're looking for death!"
Ye Ling laughed. "In this crazy era, if I'm not crazy, how can I have a sliver of hope? After all, the Lord of the Upper Realm has made moves against me several times. If I only retreat, he will find an opening."
"Instead of being a cowardly turtle, letting the Lord of the Upper Realm bully me, it's better to bite him hard and let him know pain!"
The World Extinguishing Spirit Fire said, "I really don't know what to say to you, kid... Fine, I can't stop you anyway, so I'll go along with you this time. But how do you plan to do it? Controlling Di Chu isn't as simple as saying it!"
Ye Ling said, "This is where I'll need A Yu's help... After all, no matter how brilliant our plan is, without the real prescription as a foundation, it's all for naught."
The World Extinguishing Spirit Fire scoffed. "Tch! After all this, you still can't guarantee you'll get the prescription from A Yu!"
Ye Ling said confidently, "Don't worry, with my relationship with A Yu, she will definitely give me the prescription!"
