[Host. The woman is lying to you. She has not placed any restrictions on .]
“Host. The woman is lying to you. She has not placed any restrictions on .”
The Supre Lord and System were speechless and looked at Tatyana with fear in their eyes. Tatyana grinned. “Did I hit the nail on the head? Tsk, tsk.”
Tatyana’s lips arched after repeating the words that the System said. In truth, she had no ability to do everything she just threatened the man with. ‘It is an item created by heaven itself. My ability to ss with how it works is incredibly limited. The most I could do was extract it and place a seal around it so that it wouldn’t fly away. After I return the System to him, the Supre Lord can do as he pleases…’
That’s why she needed to make the man understand deeply that it and he were under their control. Before returning it, Tatyana had asked Yasenia to break the Supre Lord’s pride and confidence, and she had achieved it flawlessly. Now, pushing their advantage and making him doubt everything, Tatyana was able to control him.
There were risks if they overdid it, though. ‘We need to be careful and balance our actions, always leaving him leeway. If we corner him too much, he might try sothing at the cost of his life, and things can escalate quickly.’
Tatyana leaned back and smiled faintly. “You know that the System is tied to us, and that we can do with it as we please. Of course, as long as you help us with what we have asked you to, we will lift the locks and return it to you as pure as it was before we extracted it. Your future accomplishnts will be based solely on your luck and ability to recover from your current injuries.”
The Supre Lord listened and didn’t move.
[Host. She doesn’t have such an ability. You need to buy the
and
to escape. Once you do it and exchange the points for a Sixth Realm Soul Technique, erasing them all won’t be a problem! Also, it would be considered as surviving, completing the main quest, and receiving rewards! You can’t give up now.]
Yasenia crossed her arms when she saw the man's expression fluctuate with hope. She spoke up, her tone cold. “Rember, the System doesn’t care about you. It only cares about its objective. Do you know which one it is? Are you a useful pawn, or would it be better just to change the host?”
The Supre Lord’s heart shook. If the System wanted soone to nd the Heavens, it needed soone with one billion points. Now that he had reached the Sixth Realm, earning Soul System Points would stagnate. After all, he couldn’t complete many tasks due to him being unrivaled in the area.
The dragoness added. “If you do as it pleases and Tatyana’s restrictions kill you, we will also be unable to stop it from leaving. After all, it is linked with Heaven. If we dared to stop it from leaving, we would be struck down by lightning on the spot.”
The Supre Lord’s face turned dark.
[Host. We’ve been together for so many years. Will you trust their words or mine?]
Tatyana transmitted the System’s words to Yasenia. The dragoness sighed and asked. “So many years with it, and look at you now. It never inford you about the strength of cultivators outside your own place. It never really inford you about the other cultivation paths. If you were favored by the Heaven, why wouldn’t you be cultivating more than one path like I am? Why would you need to rely on a pool inside a mountain to get stronger?”
The more Yasenia spoke, the uglier the Supre Lord’s expression beca.
[Host-]
“Shut up.” The Supre Lord’s voice seed to answer Yasenia. However, he was actually ordering the System. ‘Her words are the truth. Why have you never inford
about other cultivators? You always told
that once I reached the Sixth Realm, all mortal cultivators would be like ants! However, what happened? Wasn’t I beat by one!?’
The System had no way of knowing that one day, a Dragon with ridiculous strength would appear in front of its host. Hence, its words were the truth, but the Supre Lord had to find the anomaly first.
He tried to move, but having no sensation in the rest of the body, she couldn’t help but feel suffocated. He had been at the top of the World for so long, and now he was tied to a bed and being scamd out of his treasures! The sensation was suffocating.
Yasenia saw his discomfort and spoke up. “To be honest, this didn’t have to end as it did. I had many Cultivation Manuals with myself, and I had been willing to exchange them since I arrived at this place.”
Tatyana very clearly rembered her Little Treasure speaking about looting right after she woke up. But, of course, she remained silent and nodded along. “Of course. My Little Treasure is selfless and benevolent.”
Mirrory and Valeria almost had an aneurysm. ‘This shaless mother and daughter! One day, they will be struck by lightning for their shalessness!’
The Supre Lord looked at Yasenia with faint surprise. As if to assure him, Yasenia waved her hand and summoned her own Cultivation Manual. The second the scroll appeared, the space around it twisted slightly as a terrifyingly profound pressure spread from it. “This is a Celestial Elent Spiritual Manual. You can ask that system of yours to confirm and even ask for a price. I am willing to exchange it with you.”
The Supre Lord’s eyes focused on the scroll, and he asked the System. “How much Soul System Points would that item cost?”
[Calculating…]
[Estimated Value: 1,000,000,000,000.]
The Supre Lord almost coughed out a lung. ‘One trillion points!? Healing the Heaven costs one billion!’
Greed sprouted in his heart, and finally, he asked the question Yasenia wanted to hear the most. “You want too many Cultivation manuals. Therefore, with my current points, I can only buy manuals of a certain level.”
Yasenia frowned, looking reluctant. Seeing this, the Supre Lord quickly spoke up. “However, if you are really willing to exchange for that manual, I am willing to spend everything I have for the best manuals I can find.”
Yasenia looked at him and shook her head. “This was sothing I was planning to exchange before we beca enemies as we have. Rember your current position, Supre Lord.”
Seeing the indifferent expression of the dragon woman, the Surpe Lord’s face fell slightly. ‘Right. I am currently their prisoner.’
As regret washed all over him, he heard Yasenia speak one more ti. “Still. I am a collector, and I want those manuals. So, as long as you give
a manual of each elent I spoke about, I will liberate you and leave your Solar System imdiately.” Yasenia glanced coldly at him and spoke sternly. “This is my last show of rcy, Supre Lord. I hope you understand.”
Faint pressure emanated from Yasenia, making the Supre Lord’s heart tense. He mulled over it for a long ti, and eventually, he looked at Tatyana. “Will you lift the restriction from the System when you leave?”
Tatyana shrugged. “Of course. Believe it or not, I need to spend energy to keep up that thing constantly. Of course, my energy regeneration is higher than my expenditure. Still, I can’t keep it up forever.”
The Supre Lord finally made up his mind. “Sigh. System, exchange the final million points for the highest level cultivation manuals that they want.”
[Unable to complete. Celestial Attribute Manual is too expensive.]
The Supre Lord inford them, and Yasenia shook her head. “Don’t worry about that one, then.”
The Supre Lord comnted faintly. “You heard.”
While the System had many things it wanted to say, it couldn’t go against the orders of its master. Hence, the System was forced to consu a few million points for each Low-Level Transcendent Realm Soul Manual.
Heaven-ranked manuals were worth hundreds of thousands, while the Transcendent Realm ones were worth from a few million to a few tens of millions.
Seeing the few manuals appear from nothingness surprised Yasenia. She knew that these System users could do things that went against common sense, but seeing it in action was truly fantastical.
After seeing the manuals appear, Yasenia glanced at the Supre Lord and leaned over. Then, she started plucking out the needles on his body one by one. “Huh?”
Yasenia looked at him indifferently. “I am not going to go back on my word. Stay still.”
She continued taking the needles out one by one, starting from the feet and hands and going toward the torso. The Supre Lord had around 128 acupuncture needles stabbed in different places, creating a seal. As she slowly lifted it, the Supre Lord could feel his energy returning.
Several thoughts flashed through his mind, many thinking of ways to instantly kill the dragon woman in front of him. However, eventually, he didn’t attack and sighed, relaxing his body.
Yasenia’s fingers moved at this mont and stabbed at his throat, heart, and forehead.
Stab! Stab! Stab!
The Supre Lord’s eyes widened, and he looked at Yasenia with an incredulous gaze. “Y-You… Why?”
Yasenia spoke indifferently. “Why? Do you really think that I will let you live after the hatred you have against
in your heart? These three needles have been stabbed in your Death Acupuncture Points. You will die without a chance to resist. These death points will seal your soul, blood, and heart.”
Yasenia waved her hand, storing away the Cultivation Manuals that the Surpe Lord created, and glanced at him. “You were quite problematic. I needed to act out so many things during our exchange. Do you know how problematic it is for
to show those kinds of emotions right now?” She shook her head and stood up. “Either way, I couldn’t kill you right away since your soul might have a chance to escape without the fleshy body. Hence, the only way to get what I wanted and kill you was this.”
The Surpe Lord’s body slowly lost vitality, unable to move and only able to feel how life escaped him.
The System ssage reached him.
[Survival Of The Soul System Failed! You were unable to survive.]
[Revival Of The Soul Heavens Failed! Soul Heaven won’t be reconstructed.]
[Your Soul will be annihilated.]
Yasenia glanced at the man dying on the bed, and suddenly, she sensed an incredibly profound ripple of energy. Her heart tensed as she prepared to counterattack. However, nothing happened.
When she looked at the man lying on the bed, his eyes had no light. Yasenia was confused. “Huh? He died already?”
Mirrory spoke at this mont. “The System has annihilated his soul. The body is now a husk.”
“Oh.” Yasenia nodded and turned around to leave. She slapped her facial expression and rembered how to put on a sad face. Then, she quickly shifted through the manor and arrived at Minghe’s room. “Minghe…”
The cold woman raised her head, but seeing the trace of lancholy between Yasenia’s eyebrows, her heart dropped to the bottom of her stomach. Tears started flowing down, and she started crying hopelessly.
Yasenia approached and gave her a small hug, leaving shortly after.
Once outside, her lancholy disappeared, returning to her cold and indifferent face. “Ti to leave this place and aim for the higher heavens.”
Evelyn asked, curious. “You won’t use the Nascent Spring?”
Doriel spoke from behind. “I’ve already collected the spring, Madam Evelyn.”
Evelyn blinked twice. “Oh.”
The rest of the girls gathered around Yasenia and smiled, their eyes showing eagerness toward the future ahead of them.
