How strange, truly strange!
The Darkness Origin actually came looking for me on its own, and it wasn't to kill me, but to talk about something.
What could I possibly have to talk about with the Darkness Origin?
Discussing which of us would die faster and who would collect the other's corpse?
However, since the Darkness Origin had come, Lu Ye was genuinely quite interested.
"No need to enter the Heavenly Gate, let's talk somewhere more spacious."
Lu Ye was worried that if a fight broke out later, it would harm the innocent.
"Alright!"
The Darkness Origin also had no objection.
The figures of the two quickly disappeared.
They arrived at an uninhabited place.
Lu Ye's fists were clenched tightly, "Speak your mind, and when you're done, I'll send you away!"
The Darkness Origin chuckled softly, not daring to waste any more words; this Nine Lives was quite ruthless.
"I want to pledge allegiance to you!"
The words were clear and concise!
At this moment, Lu Ye's brain directly crashed.
"Ding!"
"Drip?"
Both the System and the Little Heavenly Dao were stunned.
Huh?
Lu Ye's eyes held confusion as he looked at the Darkness Origin in disbelief.
No...
Even when I became a Celestial Venerable in the previous life, the Darkness Origin had no intention of seeking refuge with me. What level am I at now? The Darkness Origin seeking refuge with me?
Are you perhaps joking?
"What did you say?" Lu Ye asked uncertainly.
"I said I want to pledge allegiance to you. I thought about it carefully. In the previous life, you and I indeed had enmity, but in this life, we actually have no enmity whatsoever. Yes, I am indeed your enemy now, but from beginning to end, I have not caused you any harm. Enemies can also turn hostility into friendship!
What do you think?"
The Darkness Origin completely laid out its cards, directly and straightforwardly stating its thoughts.
Lu Ye was still a bit confused.
The Darkness Origin's attitude was simply too outrageous. An hour ago, they were still wishing they could kill each other immediately, and now, just an hour later, the Darkness Origin came to surrender.
"Even if you surrender, it's not just you inside there. Will they allow you to surrender?" Lu Ye asked.
"You don't need to worry about them. They are of no use to me. The question now is, if I surrender, are you willing to accept?" the Darkness Origin asked.
Lu Ye fell silent.
He mainly hadn't thought about this kind of thing.
"If you surrender, you must have some conditions, right?"
Lu Ye still felt a sense of unreality.
"Conditions? My condition is that you let me become the Heavenly Dao, can you do that?" the Darkness Origin asked boldly.
"Ding, Host, your inner world!"
The System reminded him in time.
Lu Ye naturally remembered. They had even discussed at «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» the time whether the Little Heavenly Dao or the System should become his Heavenly Dao.
Now that a Darkness Origin appeared, it seemed simple. Just let the Darkness Origin become the Heavenly Dao of his inner world.
Regardless of whether the Darkness Origin's surrender was real or fake, the Darkness Origin wouldn't have significant improvement in a short time. On the contrary, Lu Ye could improve greatly in a short time.
As long as enough time passed, even if the Darkness Origin's surrender was fake, it would become real.
"Yes, I agree!"
Lu Ye said with a firm voice.
"Ah?"
The Darkness Origin was startled.
It had just said it casually. There was only one Heavenly Dao. In the previous life, Lu Ye was already in league with the Heavenly Dao, and in this life, Lu Ye's relationship with the Heavenly Dao seemed even closer.
Under such circumstances, Lu Ye could agree to it becoming the Heavenly Dao?
Bro, don't mess around!
"If I become the Heavenly Dao, what about the current Heavenly Dao?" the Darkness Origin asked, somewhat dumbfounded.
"You don't need to worry about that. If you are truly willing to surrender, then you will definitely be able to become the Heavenly Dao in the future. However, since you are surrendering, you need to hand over some things so that I can be more at ease!"
Verbal agreements were useless.
For the Darkness Origin's surrender to be effective, Lu Ye needed to be able to restrain it, otherwise, the Darkness Origin would always have the possibility of turning against him.
And coincidentally, Lu Ye had a way to restrain the Darkness Origin.
What method?
Naturally, it was the technique of the Unity of Heaven and Man.
His previous method of becoming the Master of the Heavenly Dao was effective because the Darkness Origin itself was similar to the Heavenly Dao. Now, this method could be used on the Darkness Origin.
"Hand over what?" the Darkness Origin asked.
"Recognize me as Master!"
"What?"
The Darkness Origin couldn't help but exclaim.
Are you kidding me? I recognize Lu Ye as Master?
How could that work?
No, no! Absolutely not!
After recognizing Lu Ye as Master, wouldn't Lu Ye be able to manipulate it however he wanted?
Given Lu Ye's character, after recognizing Lu Ye as Master...
The Darkness Origin thought for a moment, huh? That's not right!
Putting everything else aside, just in terms of character, Lu Ye's character, searching throughout the entire Nine Heavens, no, including the vast Outer Domain, there were probably not many people whose character was better than Lu Ye's.
And those who recognized Lu Ye as Master, like the current Human Emperor Banner, Stone Sword, and Enlightenment Tree, were all living extremely comfortably.
Even in the previous life, because the Stone Sword was broken, Lu Ye actually abandoned the sword and switched to fists, which was enough to show what kind of person Lu Ye was.
As long as you were in the same camp as Lu Ye, Lu Ye would definitely not treat you unfairly!
This was Lu Ye's genuine reputation.
You could doubt Lu Ye was an idiot, but you couldn't doubt Lu Ye's character.
But recognizing Lu Ye as Master was too significant. The Darkness Origin came intending to test Lu Ye's attitude, but who would have thought that Lu Ye would directly agree to its surrender?
"Uh... this..."
The Darkness Origin couldn't help but scratch its head, "Can I think about it? It's too fast, I didn't expect you to agree so quickly..." the Darkness Origin said honestly.
Lu Ye didn't think there was anything wrong with that.
"Alright, you can think about it!"
This could be said to be the first time Lu Ye and the Darkness Origin communicated peacefully. Before, whenever the two met, they were single-mindedly thinking of killing each other.
Even in the previous life, it was the same.
But now, the Darkness Origin was actually talking about surrendering.
The Darkness Origin took out a black jade pendant and handed it to Lu Ye.
"Nine Lives, if I decide, I will contact you. I am serious about wanting to surrender this time," the Darkness Origin said.
"Okay!"
At this moment, Lu Ye had some words he wanted to say but hesitated.
The Darkness Origin was a little confused, "What's wrong? Say whatever you want."
Lu Ye was also a bit embarrassed.
"Ahem, since you haven't surrendered this time, and you've appeared beside me, how about you let me hit you again? If I don't hit you now, I feel really uncomfortable..."
The Darkness Origin...
Damn it, you're still a scoundrel!
Farewell!
The girl's body fell softly to the ground, the Darkness Origin had already left.
It was seriously contemplating this matter.
To surrender, it had to recognize Lu Ye as Master. To be honest, having only lost two percent of its energy now, it didn't want to recognize Lu Ye as Master. No one liked finding a Master for themselves.
But this matter...
It no longer knew how to deal with Lu Ye.
Although there was the Darkness Upheaval, even the Darkness Upheaval of the previous life couldn't do anything to Lu Ye. Could it really work this time?
No, I can't make up my mind. I'll go see how An Li is doing before deciding!
