Soul of Negary

Chapter 180: Vol2 Ch78: The fourth cycle

Chapter 180: Vol2 Ch78: The fourth cycle

? In other words, it is currently the fourth cycle ?Negary finally understood. It was during the final moments of the third cycle that he entered this world, and as the will of the world discovered him, it entered the fourth cycle.

The Yu Guang Ming that he saw at Yue Bu was most likely a person from the later period of the third cycle, and the fact that he was able to borrow the ‘error’ that Negary brought in order to go from the previous cycle to this one showed just how terrifyingly powerful he was.

However, even such a powerful person was forced by the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon to have no choice but to reset the world’s timeline.

Even though he had learnt of how strong those two were through the books of the Flame world, the Flame world that he knew was one that had already been greatly weakened, it couldn’t be helped that his understanding of their relative power was skewed.

“That is indeed the case, and this will most likely be the final cycle as well. The power of the world is not enough to reset the timeline again”

“Through your excellency’s existence, we would be able to create a barrier aimed specifically towards the otherworldly power, called the Path of Error. This would be able to reject them from entering this world, thus protecting it” An Ping sincerely explained.

“If we were able to take control of your excellency through ‘destiny’ then it would naturally be best. But doing so had the risk of the Path of Error not being powerful enough”

“If we cannot control your excellency, then the Path of Error would only grow stronger, but we would lose our initiative. At this point, we could only put forth our own bargaining chips and hope to cooperate with your excellency” An Ping clearly stated their intentions without withholding anything.

They had indeed tried to take control of Negary, but to their excitement as well as disappointment, they failed. They were excited that the measure they came up with to resist the otherworld, the Path of Error, would grow stronger, thus greatly improving their chances of success.

But they were also disappointed, because if he decided against cooperating with them, they didn’t have a lot of means to go against Negary.

Naturally, they still had their trump card; this trump card combined with the Path of Error gave them the confidence to resist the invasion of the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon, but if they had to use this trump card on Negary, then they would truly have no hope left.

The will of the world had already been weakened to its extreme due to the numerous timeline resets, and this was already their final chance.

“If your excellency is willing to cooperate with us, we can compensate for our actions up to this point. We will hand over all the technologies we’ve developed through the four cycles, as well as fully cooperate with your excellency to allow you to grow stronger. Furthermore, I know that your excellency does not wish to remain in this world” An Ping put down his first bargaining chip.

“The will of the world can cooperate with us in utilizing our Authorities, through which an Authority can be stimulated and grow to its very limits”

“If your excellency would cast your mercy upon us, the will of the world has agreed to cooperate with your excellency in using the true [Otherworld Invasion] to help your excellency travel to a different world”

An Ping continued with extreme sincerity: “I can sign a contract with your excellency, ensuring that everything we’ve promised can and shall be fulfilled. If your excellency wishes for something, as long as we have it, we will hand all of it over”

? Heh...?

Negary was very sure that everything that the other party stated just now contained no lies. Other than a few hidden cards that weren’t mentioned, everything else had already been put out into the open.

? Why should I cooperate with you? ?

Negary’s Dragon of Eternal Sin form looked up, ensuring that no one would be able to tell his true intention from his expression, then questioned with its gaping bloody maw:

? According to what you said, not too long after this, the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon would both arrive. As their fellow kinsman who wields the [Otherworld Invasion], if I wish to join them, they would most likely welcome me with open arms ?

? And I would also be able to reach other worlds through them ?Negary continued: ? And to a considerably safer degree, after all, they are much more powerful than you ?

“That is indeed true. As the Authority Holder of [Otherworld Invasion], if your excellency cooperated with them, that would be the same as our world opening the front gate for them to enter. In such a case, we would have no hope of winning”

“However, your excellency isn’t the same kind of person as those invaders, correct?” An Ping spoke with conviction:

“Your excellency would surely never bow your head to others, allowing others to lord over your excellency’s own will”

“If your excellency truly pledge your allegiance to those two personages, then your excellency would no longer be your excellency”

An Ping’s side had studied and understood Negary extremely well. The one thing that Negary could not accept was his will being under the control of anything other than himself. Indeed, he would gain great benefits by joining under the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon, but a Negary who surrendered to them would no longer be Negary.

It was because they understood Negary to this degree that as soon as they understood that they could not control him, An Ping’s side immediately came forward, turned the initiative over to him, and situated themselves as the fish on a chopping board. By doing this, although they admitted that they had completely offended him, their attitude would not displease Negary.

In reality, this was also the best choice, not only would Negary not lose anything, but he would actually benefit greatly from it.

However, Negary didn’t trust An Ping. Although he didn’t tell a single lie, that had nothing to do with whether or not Negary trusted him. Even without telling a single lie, Negary could manipulate correct information in a way that allowed him to have others dance in the palm of his hand.

Firstly, he didn’t trust that the plan An Ping’s side came up with would definitely be able to go against the New Deity and the Progenitor Dragon; after all, they also believed with conviction in their victory the last few times, but were still completely defeated without fail.

Secondly, Negary didn’t trust that the world did not prepare any hidden cards, or even an open one on his body.

When he first entered this world, his soul was extremely feeble, and the other party must have read his memories; otherwise, for the sake of the so-called ‘Path of Error’ project, Negary would have already been put under their control.

In a way, they might have already done so: The [Otherworld Invasion] Authority was their open card and means of restraint against him.

If Negary actually cooperated with them to create some sort of Path of Error, he was sure that as soon as he let his guard down or when an opportunity showed itself, they would entrap him to death.

? I will need to see through the records that you keep before making my decision ?Negary indifferently replied.

He believed that as long as his answer didn’t completely cut off all hopes of cooperation, they would comply without fail; because it was Negary who won this bout, and they were the side without a choice.

“Understood, your excellency” An Ping didn’t refute him, both sides had a clear tacit understanding and made no mentions of Fang Ze. As the ‘King of People’, he was the most crucial factor within this plan, if Negary truly wanted to touch him, it would be the same as flipping the bargaining table.

Silently watching as An Ping’s side retreated together with Fang Ze, Negary flapped his dragon wings. Because he had escaped from ‘destiny’, his ‘error’ property had grown stronger, allowing the Dragon of Eternal Sin form to further evolve. He truly needed time to consider An Ping’s offer of cooperation, because relatively speaking, Negary actually didn’t have a lot of choices.

? I’m still not strong enough at all. If I were powerful enough, I would have a lot more choices, including flipping the table as long as I wished ?Negary closed his dragon eyes and silently finished the sublimation of his Dragon of Eternal Sin form.

He naturally had the choice of killing Fang Ze and flipping the table right now, but doing so would ensure that he was doomed.

? One day, I will triumph against all of this, then dominate them! ?
