The Evolution Compendium

Chu Yi named the Treasure "Nine Infants."

Rather than a Treasure, it was more like a Pet Beast.

Because it had been fed with his essence blood, Chu Yi shared a Soul binding with the nine-headed woman, making her utterly obedient to him.

Its specific abilities were related to desire and curses, but some mysterious changes had also occurred.

"Master, I'm hungry..."

"Master, let's go massacre a city! Kill, kill, kill..."

"Master, I'm so hungry! Let's find food... Eat, eat, eat! Pain, wailing, despair—they're all such delicious delicacies!"

"..."

Nine flawless faces uttered words that sent chills down the spine. A scarlet aura interwove into a red mist, swirling upwards and exploding with intense resentment and curses.

Clearly, impurities had been removed. The creature born from it should have been as ignorant as an infant, yet it was fiercely violent, prone to slaughtering cities at the slightest provocation.

Or perhaps, as a former maidservant of the Desire Mother Goddess, even when returned to its most primal state, this was its inherent disposition.

"Quiet."

Chu Yi waved his hand, calming the Nine Infants' agitation. He knew that without his restraint, this creature would surely seek food on its own and engage in widespread slaughter.

As soon as he spoke, the Nine Infants became obedient.

Nine charming faces simultaneously adopted innocent expressions, tilting their heads. Their eyelashes fluttered, and their pretty eyes blinked.

Some even stuck out their tongues, appearing playful and cute.

Ah, this...

Just imagine: nine lolis, maidens, and mature young women all showing you an innocent expression at once. With a hint of seduction driven by desire, it was simply too titillating.

Chu Yi remained rational, quickly calming himself and focusing on the serious matters at hand.

Following this line of causality, as long as he helped the Moon Princess resolve the Mother Goddess's will, his task would be complete.

Thinking of this, Chu Yi silently communicated with his mind, Nine Infants, do you have any abilities?

The nine faces of the Nine Infants each showed different expressions, and a few immediately spoke:

"Master, I can peel off skin and make beautiful handicrafts!"

"I can peel skin too..."

"Master, Master! I can mix drinks, all kinds of fine wines! Master will surely like them!"

"..."

Chu Yi came to understand that the Nine Infants had inherited all the rules from the banquet. However, the distribution was uneven, resulting in some heads not having contended for them, thus possessing only a small portion of the Power of Rules.

Legend had it that the nine maidservants had angered the Desire Mother Goddess at an Evil God's banquet due to their beauty and were consequently killed.

And the Treasure's ability was precisely those banquet rules.

After understanding this, Chu Yi returned the Nine Infants to the Chaotic Burial Mound. He then withdrew the gray mist that shielded all perception and slowly said, "Princess, I'm ready."

WHOOSH...

Heavy curtains of gauze hung, and beaded curtains were half-drawn.

Yet, all around was quiet; there was not a single sound of summons.

After some time, a cold voice finally came through, "Your Excellency, this way, please."

Chu Yi realized something. He hesitated for a moment, then transformed into a gray mist and entered.

Instantly, the view before him opened up, bright and clear.

Embedded jewels cast a bright light, illuminating a large bed carved from cold jade, where a cold and beautiful woman sat meditating.

The Moon Princess had changed into a palace gown. Her silver hair cascaded like moonlight, her eyelashes fluttered lightly like drifting snowflakes, and her silver eyes reflected the visitor's figure.

She slightly furrowed her delicate eyebrows and asked, getting straight to the point, "How should I cooperate?"

A wisp of the Desire Mother Goddess's will was conceptual. It wasn't without a solution, just rather troublesome to deal with.

She had set a trap, luring this 'forbidden' existence.

If this 'forbidden' entity made any untoward moves, she would immediately activate a gift—"Divine Strike"—erasing its existence from the River of Time.

Suddenly, a strong desire surged within her—an intense urge to skin and dismember the person before her, to tear him limb from limb...

The Moon Princess was inwardly shocked.

Something is wrong. Very wrong...

She didn't need this 'forbidden' entity's treatment at all! Even allowing him to come here had been driven by desire.

Deep down, she truly had harbored the thought of suppressing this 'forbidden' entity and seizing his secret authority.

During the battle, the Desire Mother Goddess had magnified this wisp of thought infinitely, thereby influencing her mind and orchestrating this entire process.

Between her brows, a pale purple halo appeared. It resembled an eye constructed of Runes—the Night Goddess's gift, Divine Strike!

The pearl light dimmed. The shadows it cast twisted and writhed, and sibilant whispers echoed by her ears...

The Moon Princess instantly understood everything.

It's the Desire Mother Goddess...

No. It was she herself. She dreaded the terrifying power of the King of Black Robes, who enslaved the Evil God's Favored and orchestrated everything from behind the scenes. And now, she had foiled the Desire Mother Goddess's plot, achieving her own sinister goal.

Such a dangerous 'forbidden' entity... Right now was the perfect opportunity to eliminate him!

"Princess, I will use a Treasure to lure it out. Then, I'll destroy it in one fell swoop, eliminating this problem for good," Chu Yi said with a faint smile.

He understood the laws of causality. By using the Nine Infants to remove that weak wisp of will, tonight's transaction would be concluded.

"Alright. I appreciate your help. Once this is done, you will be generously rewarded."

The Moon Princess's snow-white eyelashes trembled slightly. Her eyes remained closed, preventing him from noticing the trace of malice within her gaze.

After all, this was her stronghold. Besides the "Divine Strike," she possessed a series of other trump cards.

She was destined to be the biggest winner tonight.

She just needed to wait for him to reveal a flaw, a moment when he couldn't use that time-based trump card of his, and then she would kill him.

Oh. Since it involves time-based abilities, he should also possess some means of prophecy.

"Then I'll begin," Chu Yi nodded. He repeatedly used the Prophecy of Time to prevent any accidents.

HOO—

In the Chaotic Burial Mound, the Nine Infants, whose presence made countless souls tremble, sat upon a throne carved from skulls. Her rounded buttocks rested on the seat as her slender hands crushed dozens of spirits. She casually popped them into her cherry-red lips to chew, like a young lady enjoying snacks.

Upon hearing her master's call, nine breathtakingly beautiful faces simultaneously blossomed into smiles, revealing a morbid delight.

For a moment, the eerie, bone-laden Chaotic Burial Mound seemed to bloom with vibrant flowers, filled with the aura of spring.

"Master, are you taking us to massacre a city?"

"I miss Master so much! I want to be with Master forever..."

"Master, I made a lantern! I'll release it for you to see later."

"..."

Clad in a crimson dress, with a sash of White Bone Skulls tied around her waist, the Nine Infants appeared, emanating a curse aura even stronger than before.

Her sustenance consisted of hatred, despair, fear, and other negative emotions—even curses themselves. By constantly consuming these, she enhanced her mastered Power of Rules.

Though a bit eerie, she's truly powerful!

"Nine Infants, I'm counting on you."

As soon as Chu Yi spoke, the Nine Infants spotted the Moon Princess on the cold jade bed and flew into a rage.

"Hussy! Stay away from Master! Your aura of ignorance will make Master foolish!" a hysterical voice roared madly.

"Is Master displeased with me? WAHHH..." a childish, loli-like voice whimpered, tinged with grievance.

"Master, would you like to admire my dance?" a sweet and captivating voice purred, tugging at the heartstrings.

Chu Yi: "..."

"Oh?" The Moon Princess opened her eyes, her usually indifferent and cold gaze now filled with surprise.

This is... a Treasure?

To synthesize a Treasure into something so... grotesquely distorted, bizarre, and terrifying... this 'forbidden' entity must be ruthlessly cruel. He must be eradicated!
