[Veins popping with frustration, Chu She shot Ye Yu a very sour look.]
[Honestly, any normal person hearing what Ye Yu just said would instinctively assume he’d gone into qi deviation.]
[Seriously—what kind of sane person talks like that?]
[“What do you mean, ‘dead is dead now, I’ll find a chance later to kill you’?”]
[If you’re dead, how are you killing me later?]
[Chu She was speechless. He’d only asked on reflex, and got slammed right back!]
[Before now, he would’ve slapped Ye Yu into soul-splattering oblivion on the spot.]
[But at this point, no matter how much anger churned inside him, he had to swallow it. Time was truly short!]
[And there really wasn’t another yokai god here.]
[If he had any other choice, he would have—]
[Chu She forcibly pressed down his anger and let out a long, heavy breath.]
[Patiently, he explained again: “You should be able to feel that if I wanted to kill you—or to possess you—it would be very easy.”]
[“But I’m still talking to you. That should tell you I don’t plan to do either. You don’t need to worry. I truly mean to grant you a chance.”]
[Ye Yu said softly, “Mm. Keep going—I’m listening.”]
[His tone was flat, a little perfunctory.]
[In truth, Ye Yu did it on purpose.]
[He wanted Chu She distracted—thinking Ye Yu still didn’t believe him—so he’d keep explaining.]
[To be fair, Chu She’s points made sense.]
[But the cultivation world is brutally cruel. ‘Good people’ don’t live long enough to reach the God Realm.]
[So Ye Yu could not fully trust that the gravely wounded man before him was a ‘good person’ handing out chances.]
[He began linking his mind to the first protector who’d jumped.]
[With some of the mist cleared, Ye Yu had regained control over the demon-conversion protectors.]
[And he could feel clearly that the protector was only fifty meters away.]
[At that range, he could absolutely spring a sneak attack!]
[As always—no matter what Chu She intended—Ye Yu couldn’t afford to gamble.]
[He had to ride this dream-talent Heaven-Defying Comprehension at least into the Golden God Realm and beyond!]
[If he lost it now, that would be a huge loss!]
[Only, Ye Yu never expected that Chu She had seemingly seen through everything.]
[With a slight lift of his hand, Chu She pulled that demon-conversion protector to his side.]
[A blue filament wrapped the protector and locked him down tight.]
[Chu She said with a teasing lilt, “Still don’t trust me—so you planned to use this thing to cause me trouble?”]
[“Admittedly, it’s ingenious—summoning a fallen ghost god back and remaking it into a demon god. And from a yokai god’s hand, no less.”]
[“Whoever devised this god-art is a genius. And the fact you can perform it means your comprehension isn’t bad. That’s why I’ve bothered to say this much to you.”]
[“But we truly have no time left. This chance of mine—you don’t have the right to refuse.”]
[“Also, when you have time later, look me up. Learn who I, Chu She, am.”]
[As the words fell, Chu She suddenly lifted his hand and pointed at Ye Yu’s heart.]
[In an instant, blue radiance flared—swallowing them both.]
[Ye Yu had just begun to trigger All Beings as One when darkness crashed over him.]
[In the last second before losing consciousness, only one thought flashed through his mind.]
[Damn! I’m screwed again!]
[No telling how much time passed before Ye Yu slowly woke. He took in the unfamiliar surroundings—and the protector standing guard, cautious at his side—and felt only confusion.]
[Not dead?]
[That man named Chu She didn’t try to possess me?]
[Frowning, Ye Yu rose and looked toward the spot where Chu She had been sitting.]
[It was empty.]
[As if Chu She had never been here.]
[But Ye Yu remembered very clearly what had just happened.]
[The blue light—and...]
[Only then did Ye Yu realize he had stepped into the early Heavenly God Realm!]
[So that guy Chu She wasn’t lying? It really was a chance?]
[He helped me cross from peak Great God Realm into early Heavenly God Realm?]
[But isn’t that a bit too small for a ‘chance’?]
[Just a single minor realm?]
[While Ye Yu was puzzling over it, he felt an itch at the center of his brow.]
[He rubbed it on reflex—and to his surprise, his fingers touched something hard.]
[What the—?]
[Ye Yu had the protector condense an ice layer as a mirror and studied himself closely.]
[One look, and he nearly jumped.]
[In the middle of his forehead, a blue rhomboid crystal had grown.]
[Hard to the touch, gem-like—and no matter how he tried, it wouldn’t come off!]
[Old bastard—so it wasn’t possession, huh?]
[How is this different from some ‘ring-grandpa’ biding his time to possess me?]
[With a crystal jutting from my forehead like this, how am I supposed not to think you’re stockpiling power inside it!]
[Ye Yu was furious.]
[But he had no idea what to do next.]
[Just then, the ghost-god protector took out a recording stone from his belt and handed it over.]
[Ye Yu, curious, infused divine power.]
[Chu She’s image sprang forth.]
[His face had aged into that of an old man, and Ye Yu lay nearby.]
[Chu She spoke softly: “Kid, when you wake, you surely still won’t believe me. That’s fine. One day you’ll understand how great a chance I’ve given you.”]
[“To be honest, I was surprised—your talent is this strong? It’s the greatest I’ve seen in my life. Perhaps you’ll reach unimaginable heights.”]
[“Precisely for that reason, I refused to force the seed to sprout. I only nudged your realm a little.”]
[“Growing too strong too soon isn’t good for you.”]
[“The blue crystal at your brow is the source of my power. When you step into the Divine Lord Realm, it will disperse on its own and propel you swiftly through your next break.”]
[“At the same time, my life-bound divine artifact will manifest for your use.”]
[“That’s fortune beyond measure.”]
[“In the God Realm, plenty of people will recognize it. So you’d best cover it with something, lest someone steal the chance I left you.”]
[“Kid, keep walking forward. Maybe you’ll lead the yokai to heights never seen before.”]
[With that, Chu She’s image turned to dust and drifted away.]
[The recording stone ended.]
[Ye Yu raised his hand to his brow again, his expression growing grave.]
