Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

"Before you show off, I have something to say,"

After realizing that everything just now had been an illusion, Guang Tongchen furrowed his brows slightly.

Facing an adversary with such an enormous gap in strength, he felt no need for anger.

With a black longsword in hand, Celeos believed Guang Tongchen had no choice but still showed leniency towards his "disciple."

"What do you want to know, the tales of gods? History? Or something beyond the rules?"

"I can tell you all of it."

Guang Tongchen thought about it, and these things might indeed be valuable.

But for himself at this stage, knowing them was meaningless.

Let Jiang Xianwu explore these matters. I only need to become stronger, stronger, and continuously stronger.

Strong enough that when members of Jiang Xianwu or Baichuan's guild needed him, he could clear all obstacles for them.

His gaze sharp as a sword, Guang Tongchen showed no fear before Celeos:

"What do you plan to sever from me? From your tone, it seems like you want to pass your power on to me? Such good fortune seems too illusory, as if what I've just experienced is insufficient to warrant such a generous reward."

What's the price?

Although Guang Tongchen differed from Jiang Xianwu in many ways, his approach to thinking had already been influenced by Jiang Xianwu.

Celeos looked at this young man, calm and rational, and grew fonder of him.

From the moment he entered the scene, Celeos had witnessed Guang Tongchen's unceasing courage, the spirit of battle.

But he had also seen the fear in the other's heart.

Fear and bravery are not opposites. Fear is the instinct for survival, a reverence for life and death, while bravery is the ability to confront fear.

The choices and actions Guang Tongchen took between fear and courage pleased Celeos unexpectedly.

Then, Celeos saw the purest "Guardian Blade."

With just one touch, he severed Guang Tongchen's treasured blade.

But he knew that the blade named Guang Tongchen had never been tarnished.

By severing Guang Tongchen's perception, he created an illusion and witnessed the source of this man's power.

This was a power even Celeos had never felt.

Perhaps, after inheriting Blade and Cutting, Guang Tongchen could reach a realm even Celeos had never reached.

"I wander between two worlds, unable to find anyone worth fighting, not just in Longxia, or even outside Longxia, but also in the Origin Realm. Hoping to find someone willing to battle me is wishful thinking."

"I am the strongest in the world."

Celeos would have liked to be modest about this point.

But the fact remained, he was the strongest in the world. However, this supreme being eventually realized that to understand many secrets, one must become a god.

And as he grew stronger, he found it increasingly difficult to restrain that divinity.

Guang Tongchen had no doubts about this.

It was his first encounter with an adversary who could make even moving difficult with just a glance.

But still, he remained calm:

"The price?"

"Naturally, it's to sever everything that stands in the way of you accepting my inheritance," said Celeos.

Guang Tongchen stood his ground, his gaze growing sharper:

"Inheritance? As far as I know, new gods have no inheritors; you cannot offer a complete upgrade system."

This was not a secret known only to Jiang Xianwu.

Ji Ye cherished Guang Tongchen as much as Lin cherished Zhou Baiyu.

Naturally, what was known would be shared.

Thus, Guang Tongchen broached the subject:

"You intend to sever my inheritance from the old gods."

"Correct, as far as I know, in your generation, the old gods' inheritance is to randomly select ordinary people from a brand new world. In other words, what kind of people you become is not your choice," Celeos said, pausing before continuing:

"But deep down, I can feel your desire for Blade and Cutting. I will become a new god, and as my only believer, your desire to slay your enemies will allow you to quickly inherit my power. Perhaps in the not too distant future... you will become the next me. The next strongest in the world."

A poor persuasion.

Guang Tongchen asked:

"Indeed, the Dark Night and Concealing God didn't give me a choice. I, as a person, enjoy gambling; I prefer the God of Difference and Chaos."

This statement took Celeos by surprise.

He had never met that god. In fact, he had not met either of those gods.

But Celeos knew that the God of Difference and Chaos was rather unpopular in both new and old factions.

The inheritors were mostly eliminated by the God of Games and Entertainment.

And yet, someone wanted to switch to follow the unpredictable God of Chaos?

This made Celeos think that Guang Tongchen was becoming even more interesting.

"If you just sever the path of inheritance that I've established with the Dark Night and Concealing God, how are you any different from those gods who have become rules?"

Price is price, knowing the price, then one must maximize the benefits.

How would Jiang Xianwu think now? How would he persuade?

Guang Tongchen's CPU worked at high speed, mimicking Jiang Xianwu.

But fundamentally, his considering this point at all stemmed from his bond with Ji Ye and his pride as a strong person.

What's your level? To say you will cut off my path of ascension and then do it?

You are the strongest, you are incredible, you are aloof, but do you know how hard it was for me to advance from the first tier to the third tier?

Feeling the pride and resistance in Guang Tongchen's words, Celeos' blade hovered for a long time.
