Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!

Chapter 160 160: Not The User, But The Weapon

?

"What are your thoughts on this?"

Xu Shan walked through the crowded streets, talking to Xinren. His voice was so low that other than Xinren, no one could hear him. 

"Any thoughts on the so-called Book? That didn't match the descriptions of the Books you gave me. Is that maid bluffing about the book? Or there's something you're hiding from me?"

At the moment, he also remembered the time when he had received the Book of Truth. It showed that he collected one of the Nine Pieces. 

If that one piece signified a book, that made him think that there were not seven but nine books. But there was something wrong about that as well. 

Why would a Heavenly Book be written in the destiny of a person like the Divine Queen? Especially since she used it against the person cherished by the Heavenly Law? 

As if that wasn't strange enough, the information related to the Celestial Lotus came as an even bigger surprise. 

According to the Maid, the Celestial Lotus wasn't just a herb that could be used to awaken the Celestial Spirit of a person. It could also be used as an energy source to power a formation...

In the document, there was a design of a formation... A flawed design which was incomplete. Some pieces of the scroll were scratched off, making it impossible to decipher the core components of the formation.

Xu Shan had a feeling that this was the work of the Divine Queen. If that was true, then it explained why she was so crazy for the Celestial Lotus. 

According to the Scroll, the Celestial Lotus had some seeds inside. Most people only used their petals to awaken Celestial Spirits. The seeds were tossed away for the most part, since no use could be found for them. 

Unfortunately, this scroll mentioned an use. The seeds were placed at the core points of the Giant Formation. They were what established the link between the formation, the Queen and everyone else!

So far, he hadn't had any personal enmity with the Queen, other than the fact that she indirectly stole something from him. However, thinking about what her success could mean, he didn't want to let it happen. 

His goal was simple. It was to have a safe life, where no one could threaten him. That meant protecting himself from the so-called children of destiny, who could come after him because of his book. 

For now, he was confused about what the Divine Queen was. From her personality and her actions, she appeared to be a bad person. Yet, the Book and her journey so far meant she had great luck, surpassing even the Heaven's Chosen. 

"Why do you look less worried and more excited?" Xinren asked Xu Shan, noticing that amidst all that worry, his eyes revealed a greedy shine. 

"Am I?" Xu Shan asked, revealing a subtle smile on his lips. Within dangers, there were always 

The Formation was dangerous for him, but that was only when used by others. This was an evil plan, which ruined the lives of many. That's why the maid either wanted to stop the Queen or hide somewhere. 

The maid was right. Xu Shan didn't care about people. He wasn't a good person and by definition didn't care about the lives of people in this world. However what really interested him was the formation itself. 

He didn't want to stop the formation from activating. Instead, he wanted to be there himself in her place! He wanted to be the one who used it for himself!

"Don't tell me you want to..." Xinren spoke, frowning. 

"It's not the weapon that is wrong. It's the person using that weapon. This is a weapon I need!" Xu Shan answered. "If this formation actually works, it would be really amusing."

"A formation to cover a large scale area by your ability... An amplifying formation that can cover this entire world! What a fascinating formation," he spoke, talking to himself. 

If his words were heard by others, they would've called him crazy to even think that it was possible. However, Xu Shan had a feeling that this smoke wasn't without flames!

"She wants to devour the Celestial Spirits of everyone in this world, with that book and the formation. But I can also do the same, if I was in her place. If I could devour every Celestial Spirit in this world, then... Just the thought alone is exciting!"

"It's not going to be that easy. That woman... From what I heard, you can't defeat her. You're strong, but you're not that strong yet," Xinren chimed in. "If you want to face her, you would need to become stronger!"

"I was thinking about the same thing." Instead of showing worries, Xu Shan still remained calm. He had already considered this, and thought of a solution. That's the reason he left the clan mansion. 

He was a walking cheat when it came to becoming stronger. He was a predator in one of the main cities of the Divine Dynasty which was filled with prey. 

As he finished speaking, he disappeared like a shadow. 

The sun had started setting, casting a warm golden glow across the city streets. 

The city appeared even more beautiful under the warm glow from the setting sun. However, in this beautiful city, no one noticed that there were people who had started disappearing. 

Even the Royal Guards who were patrolling the city remained unaware. In fact, even some guards had disappeared, yet no one was alerted as many guards roamed alone, choosing to be away from the groups. 

For them, this was a safe City after all. No one could be crazy enough to attack them, or so they thought. 

Bodies inside Xu Shan's rings kept increasing as he killed the powerful warriors in the city. Despite that, for some reason, he wasn't happy. 

He stood in a dark valley in the Street, with a guard lying on his feet. The Guard's Celestial Spirit was devoured and his Star Sign was missing. Yet Xu Shan appeared distressed. 

"What is happening?" He asked Xinren, his expressions darkening.
