Chapter 1078: The Value of Existence
Chen Rui slowly opened his heavy eyes, and the blurred vision gradually became clear.
His first reaction was headache; the second reaction was surprise.
Because his soul power had more than doubled than before. Chen Rui clearly felt that not only his soul, but also his spirit power seemed to have been sublimated in some way, becoming more and more pure. The reason for the headache was not some hidden disease, but because he had not fully adapted to this new soul power.
This was obviously not the effect that ordinary training could achieve.
How so?
In the previous battle with Dillosro, my soul suffered seriously. Even the healing power of the Crown of Thorns could not heal it.
The strange thing is that I am still the [Purple Pole Star Emperor] now; there is no advancement.
“Are you awake?” Adeline’s voice sounded. Her senses were very keen. Although she fell asleep on the bed just now, she noticed it as soon as Chen Rui woke up.
“Adeline.” Chen Rui rubbed his temples and looked at the somewhat familiar room, “Where am I? How long have I slept?”
“This is the Thunder Snake Island, home to the naga tribe. We only came back here yesterday, but it’s been 10 days since you fell asleep.”
“10 days?” Chen Rui didn’t expect he had fallen asleep for so long, “Are you all right?”
“I’m fine.” Adeline’s eyes were a little red, “It’s all my fault…”
Chen Rui interrupted the naga girl’s words, “’Fault’ is not a suitable word for us. If you say this when we go back, even Athena will be angry. Besides, that Abyss Ruler is my worst enemy… Alright, let’s not talk about that. Where’s Helen and Lalaria?”
“Lalaria is a little tired. She has been leading us while racing against time for the past few days. Olypheus suddenly appeared beside you on the third day, which startled us. As for Helen…”
Chen Rui knew that Olypheus’s ‘sudden’ appearance was because the Star Conferring Platform’s merging time limit had ended, so she was automatically released. Ms. Black Dragon should be fine. He asked casually, “How is Helen?”
Adeline hesitated for a moment, “She… she went back to the Reqium Sea Area of the siren tribe.”
Chen Rui’s head was still a little heavy, so he didn’t notice Adeline’s hesitation. He smiled and said, “You have been guarding by my bedside right. I’m all right. You should go to rest quickly, otherwise you will not be beautiful if you have dark circles under your eyes.”
Adeline blushed and wanted to say something, but Chen Rui pressed his temples, “My head still hurts a little. I want to meditate in a calm s.p.a.ce. Go ahead and sleep for a while. Let’s talk about things when you wake up after a good sleep. “
“En.” The naga girl didn’t want to disturb his rest, so she quickly stood up and walked out.
It seems that everyone is fine since we can return here, but Vesilna’s death is a pity. Chen Rui let out a long sigh. He calmed down and entered the Super System.
Although the battle was extremely dangerous, he finally won.
This victory was not only the fight with Dillosro, but also the bet with Satan. He won another 10 years. However, Satan seemed to have misunderstood him and regarded him as a real ‘old friend’, and it seemed to be a very compet.i.tive ‘old friend’. In any case, this difficulty was temporarily over. Since he won the bet with Satan, then he had to find another person to fulfill his promise.
In the Super System, the galaxy was as vast and bright as always. Chen Rui could sense that due to the improvement of the whole soul, the power of the galaxy had also undergone some corresponding changes. With the training in the future, the specific benefits should be manifested step by step.
Chen Rui’s thoughts moved a little, and he appeared in front of Python.
Python was a special existence in the galaxy territory. As the spiritual linker of the master-subordinate contract, Chen Rui gave her the ability to travel freely in the universe, but it was limited to this. She could not reach any planet of the galaxy in an instant like an oracle like Veronica, let alone see or enter the Galaxy Divinity Temple. If she wants to reach a certain planet, she must fly with her own strength. The universe was so large and the distances between the planets were quite vast. Even at Pseudo-G.o.d speed, with no restrictions on breathing, eating, or physical strength, it was an extremely long journey.
The sudden appearance of Chen Rui seemed to surprise Python slightly. She looked at him for a moment and said, “It’s unbelievable.”
“Unbelievable?” Chen Rui asked, noticing that there was some other meaning in this word.
“The unbelievable I’m saying is your luck.”
Python said lightly, “I was originally in a good mood, because at that time, the faith power and life force of this ‘universe’ quickly depleted. I could even feel the power of contract through my innate ability that your soul power is rapidly weakening and is on the verge of collapse. If your soul collapses, maybe I can leave this strange ‘universe’ with this G.o.dsend opportunity. Unfortunately, my good mood was soon gone. Not long after, your soul recovers to normal, and it’s even greatly enhanced – It’s not due to your own strength; it should be some kind of special external force. So I said that your luck is unbelievable.”
External force? Chen Rui frowned. Lambost had already been already frozen. In that case, only Lalaria, Adeline and Helen could provide external force to help me recover my soul. Who was it? What kind of power was used?
“Since you can train to this level, you should understand that luck is also a part of strength.” Chen Rui did not discuss too much in this regard with Python. He asked straight to the point, “You once said that your value of existence is with those 2 conditions. First, I collect all the 7 artifacts; second, I defeat Satan. Now, the 2 conditions have been fulfilled…”
“Did I hear that right?” Python interrupted with a contemptuous expression, “You beat Satan?”
“The enemies I faced this time were Dillosro’s avatar, who was close to the real body, and the Despair Main Altar. I couldn’t resist the enemy alone. I had invited you to take action before, but you refused, so I found Satan.”
“Satan agreed to make a move?”
Chen Rui spread his hands, “In front of interests, there is no absolute enemy. Satan and I formed an a.s.sociation very smoothly. It’s just that this ally coveted the origin power of creation in me, so he proposed an additional betting agreement: Whoever kills Dillosro first will win the 3-month battle ahead of time. In the end, I was lucky enough to kill Dillosro’s avatar first, won the bet, and agreed with Satan to decide the outcome in 10 years. What you sensed before, my soul was about to collapse, was caused by Dillosro’s soul shatter in the final battle, but luckily I got my life back.”
“Python, I just want to ask you, is your promise still valid?”
“Hmph! You should add the word ‘final’, then it’s more threatening.”
“You don’t believe what I said?”
“No, I can sense that you are not lying.” The contempt on Python’s face gradually disappeared, “I know very well that if I break my promise, then for you, I will lose the value of existence. Before I make a decision, I also want to ask you a question. Did Satan have any special reactions when he was in contact with you?”
“There is no special reaction, if ‘hostility’ is just a normal emotion.”
“As I said, I can sense the truth of what you say.” Python pointed, “If you don’t want to answer, then this is my ‘final’ sentence.”
“Okay.” Chen Rui shrugged, “Satan was normal in the beginning, but after killing Dillosro in the end… his tone was a bit strange, saying that I was an ‘old friend’. He even said he was going to finish me off in 10 years and step onto the real peak stage.”
Python shook slightly and fell silent.
“I think he may have misunderstood something.” Chen Rui raised his brows as he looked at Python who was bowing her head and said nothing. “Or he is not the only one who misunderstood?”
“It doesn’t matter whether it’s a mistake or a misunderstanding. The key is to go on the path that you have identified. Similarly, you will bear the ending yourself.” Python lost her usual deepness. Instead, she had a strange emotion as she looked up. Her eyes were set on Chen Rui’s face with burning eyes, “My last question, do you believe in fate?”
“If fate and destiny as you know are controlled by the same G.o.d or G.o.ddess.” Chen Rui shrugged, “Unfortunately, I had a wish a long time ago, that is – let this beauty sing a tune called ‘Conquest’ for me in an ungracious manner.”
The corners of Python’s mouth curled slightly, and there was a strange look in her eyes. She suddenly bowed to him, “I think, I can try the value of existence that I have found, sir.”
Sir?
Chen Rui’s mind moved, but he felt inexplicable that the name ‘sir’ seemed to have been said thousands of times by Python, “Although it is very gratifying to have the help of a powerhouse like you, this should be the result of me completing the agreement between us, not some kind of misunderstanding or deception.”
“I said that those are no longer important. The important thing is that for me, I have returned to the path I want to take.” Python gave him a deep look, “I swear by my soul to follow the person in front of my eyes. Whoever the Sword of Fallen Angel points to, even if the enemy is G.o.d, I will have no fear. If I disobey, my soul will be annihilated and will never exist in the world.”
Chen Rui clearly sensed that Python’s oath of the soul had added a special power into the spiritual link. This made the original master-subordinate contract have a special power of rule. Once Python violated the oath, this power of rule would erupt, annihilating her soul directly.
This was more demanding than a normal master-subordinate contract.
Chen Rui was a little surprised by Python’s move. In any case, this once biggest threat had become the biggest help; at least he could breathe a sigh of relief.
“I have a lot of questions I want to ask you, but before that,” Chen Rui waved his hand, and the surrounding environment suddenly changed, “Let’s change to a more convenient place to speak first.”
TL: Please stop beating around the bushes Python. The truth is so tempting.
