77 Negotiations
‘Wait, the World Spirit is still unaware of the fact that my soul is transmigrated.’
‘In that case, it may work.’
The World Spirit was already getting impatient.
I looked her in the eyes,
“It’s unfair!”
“As someone born in the same world as those sons of luck, don’t I have an equal chance like them to get strong?”
The World Spirit’s eyes widened at my remarks.
“I mean..if I can defeat the son of luck, doesn’t it mean that I am more fit to replace his position?”
“After all, only the most capable should have the strongest position, as you said earlier, that their job is to keep the world safe and secure from any chaos but you have already seen my actions in stealing their chances. Clearly, I am more capable… so isn’t it right that I replace them?”
I gritted my teeth..in my previous life I have read lots of cultivation novels which were filled with the common line that heavenly Dao is ruthless and impartial, doesn’t that heavenly dao refer to world spirit in a sense.
Counting on this fact I was trying to make my argument logical.
“Yes but they were born special”, she said while thinking over what I said.
“Just because they are born special doesn’t mean that they will end up becoming strong. Yes, they have potential but it’s just potential after all who knows what will happen in future? You have already seen how bad these David and Leon are, their actions are despicable, they only care about their objective and treat everyone as their tool. Heck, I even heard that David is almost comparable to a devil after absorbing various resentful spirits.”
Seeing her analysing face, I knew that I may soon have a chance to turn over the tables.
“Also, both me and son of luck are born in the same world. As we share the same origin, we should have an equal chance to compete against each other. If I can plunder and steal their chances it’s my ability. You can only blame David and Leon for being stupid and weak.
I strongly believe that as a world spirit you are impartial and won’t side with anyone so I am not scared that you will kill me.”
After speaking everything in one go, my lips were already dry. I looked at the woman standing in front of me.
A couple of minutes passed but no one spoke anything.
Finally, a smile arched up on the lips of the woman in front of me.
“Yes you are right, only the capable people should have the right to be the strongest.”
“All you did were little tricks and conspiracies so you too are not much different in my eyes.”
“But you are still a little better than them..unlike them you at least care about the women around you.”
“I think I figured it out.”
“I will let you compete directly against Leon, if you managed to defeat him then you can take his position as the second son of luck of this world”, she spoke still without any emotion on her face.
“But I can feel it, you are already stronger than Leon!”
“Since we are in a soul place, it solves the trouble.”
“A random artificial world will be created in which Leon will have advantages, if you manage to defeat him you take his position. As for loss, you will cease to exist.”
I breathed a sigh of relief, at least my life was safe for now.
But still… we can try to get some benefits.
“It’s good but I still want more rewards!”
Her eyes widened, “Presumptuous!”
I didn’t backed down,
“It’s fair.. after all even though I have worshiped the noble World Spirit since birth..yet it tried to kill me at our first encounter, Moreover, I will have to work under David after defeating Leon. You know, he will make things difficult for me…he has a life-death grudge with me after all. It’s only right for me to get some compensation after winning.”
Hearing my words the World Spirit sneered inwardly.
‘Do you think I will let you win?’
“It’s okay to give you a little reward in case you win.”
“But I hope you don’t ask for something much more than you deserve..”
“…..So tell me what sort of compensation you want?”
Seeing her expression I knew what was in her mind.
She was just playing with me, ‘She will surely make things difficult for me in my fight against Leon so that she doesn’t have to give anything.’
‘As for cooperating with me..I am pretty sure she is just satisfying her vanity.’
“Can you really give me what I want?”
-I spoke deliberately with some fake anticipation on my face.
After all, when you are acting, you must be fully immersed in your role.
Her voice once again echoed.
“Don’t overthink human, my power is beyond the limits that you can imagine, even if it is something that doesn’t exist I can create it with my power.”
Hearing her, I was taken aback.
‘Capable of creating anything?…doesn’t it means that even though she has near 7th order strength, her proficiency in spatial magic has reached a terrible level?’
I knew even though she will make things difficult for me, even though my chances of winning were less than 1%, there was still a bleak possibility that I could win.
I was aware of the fact.. it was still an opportunity.
‘Danger and wealth really goes hand in hand!’
My eyes were hot as I knew there were many things that I wanted.
After coming in this world, I had already realised the importance of strength..but the thing that I want, should atleast make full use of World spirit’s spatial ability. What sort of artifact should I ask for? Or just ask for some secret technique?
I was really puzzled.
