Chapter 574: Snake Soup
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Xue Wei had been standing aside to observe the changes in Lan's expression. At first, he had been fully focused, and even Xue Wei could sense the ripples of energy in the air.
When the energy converged within the Formation of Life, Xue Wei noticed how Lan's expression eased, and a slight smile curled on his lips.
It was evident that the attempt to take over the Formation of Life had been a success.
"This world has a lot of potential, but the Black Turtle Clan killed it on their own."
Lan's voice was slow but pleasant. There were no signs of unhappiness or unease after taking over the Formation of Life, and Xue Wei understood that things were better than he had initially expected.
"The Ghost Realm is now under my control."
Lan understood that while Xue Wei had reached a tentative conclusion, he still needed some sort of verbal assurance.
"So, how do we advance from here?"
While Xue Wei had a basic idea and had formed a plan, he had never before been a Sovereign Deity, so he did not know how difficult it would be to alter the heavenly rules within this domain.
"The rules are simple to change, at least a rule like this, which only requires for me to unleash the ban on the experts' cultivation base."
Lan sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes. Unlike before, no ripples of energy could be felt throughout the air, but Xue Wei still felt a strange change in the atmosphere.
It was as if the Ghost Realm had become a little less gloomy, but he could not put his finger on exactly what had caused this change.
Lan slowly opened his eyes and nodded his head approvingly.
"To change the heavenly laws of a world, one has to interact with the Formation of Life. I am able to change the rules here in the Ghost Realm while I am present, but I might need to return to the living world before I can connect it to Diyu."
Xue Wei was not disappointed when hearing this. While he understood that it would naturally be for the best to connect to Diyu as soon as possible, the fact that the ban had been removed was already enough. Now the ghosts had the hope to ascend.
"How do we inform the Ghost Realm's citizens about this opportunity?"
Xue Wei frowned slightly. He understood the importance of the changes made to the Heavenly Law, but he also knew that they had to find the right time to announce it, not to mention finding a way to spread the news.
"For now we won't tell anyone. When we reunite with Mo Lian and the others, we will inform them of the changes, and let them make their own decision on whether they wish to follow us back to our world, or if they want to stay here and fight for the opportunity to ascend."
Xue Wei nodded his head, and he could not help but feel admiration for Lan in his heart.
Lan had spent ten thousand years waiting for his lover, but when he finally found her, he did not become overbearing, or used his power to force her.
Although he did not hide his emotions, he left the choice to Mo Lian herself to decide her future.
He did not even use the name that she had when they were together, but fully accepted her new identity. To him, she was now Mo Lian, and while he loved the woman in the past, he also adored her now.
In fact, he felt relieved to see that she would not allow anyone to bully her now. To him, there was nothing more important than for her to live a life of happiness. Even if she did not wish to include him in her life, as long as she was happy, he would accept the decision and move into the shadows.
"Well then, let us find Mo Lian and the others. This special area should no longer have much importance to the ghosts, so we have no reason to keep searching."
Lan nodded his head, and he waved his hand. After becoming the Sovereign Deity of this world, he could move around as he wished, and a tear in the wall of reality appeared.
Without fearing the consequences, Xue Wei and Lan entered through this gap in space, but the darkness did not swallow them up, instead they stepped out of thin air in front of Mo Lian and the branch leader.
Such high-profile arrival caused the two ghosts to feel very conflicted, especially the branch leader.
When he first met Xue Wei, Lan was merely a small snake that liked to cling around the neck of this expert, but now this small snake had become an entity that no ghost could trouble. Such obvious change in identity was hard to accept, but he tried his best to not show the confusion on his face.
"That was an interesting way of returning."
The first of the two ghosts to sober up was Mo Lian. She could not help but gaze deeply at Lan with inquiry in her eyes, making Lan smile lazily.
"If you keep looking at me like this, I might fear that you intend to eat me up. I would prefer not to be eaten, so why don't I dedicate my body to you instead? I promise that snake soup is not delicious, and when you realize how useful my body is, you will be grateful for today's offer."
Mo Lian looked at him as if she looked at an idiot. She had not even grasped the hidden meaning within Lan's words, but Xue Wei had.
Looking at the female ghost who was about to fall into the trap set by Lan, he smirked slightly and leaned back to enjoy the show.
