Chapter one hundred and sixty-four life-buying people
"It's not like...it doesn't mean it's impossible..."
Su Wen muttered in his heart.
But no matter how small his voice was, when it fell in Dagon's ears, it was as loud as thunder.
"What did you say!"
Dagon's majestic voice sounded like a landslide and tsunami in Su Wen's mind.
"...I didn't say anything..."
Su Wen struggled to stabilize his mind.
By this time, he could basically conclude that Dagon was at least equivalent to a human being of sequence six, which meant he had reached the level of Cheng Zi.
Maybe it's even comparable to the strength of a saint, otherwise the saint wouldn't have been unable to kill this guy back then, and still let him survive to this day, causing trouble for future generations.
"Have you figured out how to die?"
Dagon's voice was calm: "I have given you enough preferential treatment...I have even given up the idea of imprisoning and toying with your soul. If you don't know what to do, then don't blame me for not respecting the spirit of the contract."
"..."
Su Wen was a little speechless.
He had always only thought about living well, but never thought about how he was going to die. Even at this moment, he was thinking about how to escape instead of just waiting to die.
"Eh……"
Su Wen sighed quietly. He realized that in the face of absolute strength, cleverness may be of little use.
"...Do you want to say that you will die of old age?"
Before Su Wen could speak, Dagon choked Su Wen's cleverness in his throat: "Of course this can satisfy you. I have several methods, you can choose freely... One is to take away your life force.
It will make you age to death in an instant, and secondly, it will distort the flow of your time, causing your body to decay at ten times or even a hundred times the speed... It won't take long before you can die of old age."
"...???!!!"
really!
If you want to play tricks in front of Dagon, there is no way out!
Thinking of this, Su Wen gave another wry smile.
"No……"
Su Wen shook his head and said: "Since you let me choose the way to die, it shouldn't be your intervention... I want to take a gamble and accomplish something impossible here... If I can win the bet,
Can you let me go?"
"Let you go... hahaha..."
Dagon seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world: "That is absolutely impossible..."
Su Wen ignored Dagon's wanton laughter: "...but this bet may one day help you completely get rid of the shackles imposed on you by the saint?"
"What?!"
Dagon's laughter stopped suddenly. Its countless eyes focused on Su Wen again, and its voice was angry: "How can you break Master's shackles?!"
"I definitely don't have this ability now, but what if I become a saint one day?"
In order to get out of trouble, Su Wen even made a pie for Dagon: "The one who can erase the constraints imposed on you by the saint is at least a saint-level existence... I will complete an extraordinary promotion in front of you. If promoted
If it fails, then I will die in front of you in the way I choose, but if I succeed, there will be a deal between you and me, which will be completed when I become a saint."
Su Wen did not give Dagon any time to think more deeply, and continued: "In this transaction, you have nothing to lose at all...you can even gain...hope!"
"hope……"
Dagon's voice contained a hint of hesitation.
Obviously, it was moved by Su Wen's words.
If Su Wen solidifies this promise with the promotion ceremony, Su Wen will really become a saint in the future... Even if Su Wen wants to regret it, he can't do it. The power of the saint will naturally help him remove the seal on his body.
And Dagon wanted to use his own power to completely erase the various seals left by the saints on his body. The imprinting took an extremely long time, no matter how fast it was, it would take one or two thousand years. And the whole process was not pleasant, even full of pain. In order to relieve the pain
, it may take longer to achieve true freedom.
As for human saints, once they are born at the right time, it only takes hundreds, or even decades, to achieve success.
What if Su Wen is the one who rises to the occasion...
Even if there was only one chance in ten thousand, Dagon felt that he should give Su Wen a chance and give himself something to look forward to.
"...Insect...After careful consideration, I accepted your humble request...I agreed."
Finally, Dagon's voice was solemn and ethereal: "You can be promoted in front of me..."
"good……"
Su Wen let out a sigh of relief.
Dagon's tentacles slowly withdrew, and countless eyes were fixed on Su Wen. It wanted to witness Su Wen's promotion and ensure that Su Wen did not play any tricks during the promotion process.
Su Wen took out the secret medicine.
"The Mohist..."
Su Wen smiled bitterly.
Mohist Sequence 2 "Businessman" is also a "life-buyer".
He made a deal with Dagon and bought his own life.
But……
This secret medicine still lacks the most critical ingredient.
The three hairs of the man with the sword were ashes.
It is mentioned in the mysterious knowledge of historians that if the secret medicine for promotion is incomplete, there is still a certain chance that the promotion can be completed.
That requires enough extraordinary power to make up for the lack of literary spirit during promotion.
Su Wen felt that he had many cultural backgrounds, and was even a Taoist Sequence 2 Extraordinary. His accumulation of Confucian literary talents was enough to make up for part of it.
He had no choice but to take risks at this time.
Mixed with sea water, Su Wen swallowed the secret medicine in one gulp.
He slowly sat cross-legged in the water. Dagon's tentacles gently moved around him, and Su Wen's body slowly sank under the water.
"Bang..."
A clear light suddenly erupted from Su Wen's body, illuminating his whole body.
"Well……"
Only then did Dagon discover the traces of Earthly Branches: "Aha, it turns out it was this snack that woke me up... Well, it was not involved in the transaction. Can I eat it?"
The earthly branch could naturally hear Dagon's heartfelt voice and tremble. But there was no way. Su Wen's promotion was too risky. If it didn't protect him, the possibility of Su Wen's promotion failing would be too great.
If Su Wen is finished, it will be finished too.
Earthly Branch is still a bit careful. When Dagon noticed it, it secretly released the aura of the being it feared.
So Dagon also saw a faint shadow appearing behind Su Wen.
"..."
Dagon's extended tentacles suddenly retracted.
"Aha?!"
Dagon's dense eyes all widened, locking onto the furry figure behind Su Wen.
"What the hell!"
Dagon's fleshy body couldn't help but tremble slightly for a moment. His tentacles were frozen in the water, neither extending forward nor retreating.
“K…KK…?!”
Dagon's voice was even out of tune.
After calming down, it quietly retracted its tentacles.
The phantom released by the Earthly Branches disappeared.
But Dagon didn't make any more tests. His dull eyes stayed at the place where the shadow disappeared for a while, and then returned to Su Wen.
"It turns out that he is...the beloved of the starry sky and the ocean. No wonder he dares to come to Guixu when he is so weak..."
The look in Dagon's eyes when he looked at Su Wen had changed.
There is no longer any one who regards Su Wen as an ant-like existence before. The Beloved of the Starry Sky and Ocean, no matter how weak it is, is the spokesperson of the Supreme in the world. Countless years ago, it also crawled in the starry sky, eager to obtain the Supreme.
The existence's gaze lingered for a moment, and it did not even dare to expect to become the great and supreme favored one. Even becoming the most humble servant of the other party was its greatest dream.
But he couldn't even qualify as a servant.
If the positions of the stars hadn't been reversed and the Supreme One had fallen into dust, he would still be the one he looked up to.
And the stars will eventually return to their positions, and at that time, the Supreme Being will surely return to his high position and regain the authority he once had.
"If I kill His favored one..."
Dagon was frightened just thinking about it, and his fear could not be suppressed.
But after all...it didn't do such a thing.
Even... this weak, ah no, this young, wise, pious, and promising person with unlimited future gave it a hope.
but!
This hope pales in comparison to the glory of serving the Supreme Will.
"Serving the most favored one...is also a great honor!"
Dagon looked at Su Wen, and the colors in his dense eyes turned softer and softer.
Fortunately, Su Wen had his eyes closed at this time. If he opened his eyes and saw Dagon like this, he would probably be more scared than when he first discovered Dagon.
"Well……"
At this time, Dagon discovered that Su Wen's promotion process was not smooth.
Su Wen's accumulation of literary energy was not enough... No, the secret medicine he took was incomplete.
"No wonder...the risk is indeed not small."
Dagon stared at Su Wen quietly.
It doesn't want to help.
Dagon is willing to serve the favored one of the supreme being. But Su Wen must have such qualifications. If Su Wen cannot even complete the promotion to sequence two, how can he be qualified to become the favored one of the supreme being?
"The literary spirit... is not enough!"
Su Wen also found that he had underestimated the difficulty of Mohist Sequence 2.
The lack of ingredients for the secret medicine was certainly the main reason, but there were other more important factors that he ignored.
He made a deal with Dagon.
Under the influence of Dagon's extraordinary sequence, the difficulty of his promotion has been increased to an unprecedented level of difficulty during the Mohist extraordinary promotion sequence two.
If Tao Yao had been present, she might have lamented that the difficulties she encountered when she was promoted to Sequence Five and finally lost control were not as great as Su Wen's.
All the extraordinary power of context was drained away.
Mohist scriptures flashed through Su Wen's mind.
It was only at this time that it was too late to think about obtaining literary blessings from the scriptures.
"Gululu..."
At this time, Cuttlefish, who had been lying on Su Wen's shoulder pretending to be dead, spat ink at Su Wen crazily.
It was originally transformed by Dongguo Xi's extraordinary power, and its literary style is extremely rich.
At this time, Xiao Mo noticed that Su Wenqi was lacking in literary energy and decisively spit out the accumulated literary energy.
"call……"
Su Wen's dry context suddenly filled up, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well... I really have a back-up plan."
Seeing this scene, Dagon was also very pleased. The favored ones are the favored ones after all, so why don’t the people favored by the great existence have any backup plans?
"not enough……"
However, Su Wen painfully discovered that the missing three hairs could not be made up for by literary spirit and extraordinary power.
"Come!"
As soon as Su Wen waved his hand, one of Dagon's tentacles rose uncontrollably, then cut off and fell into his hand.
