【It was not until that day that Zheng Ya finally understood that Nie Chu was an extremely suspicious ghost entity.】

【Even though she had translated everything word by word before, he still did not trust her.】

【So he had prepared the Ghost Pill of Subjugation to control her.】

【Zheng Ya could not help but laugh. As she laughed, tears fell.】

【Why did it have to be like this?】

【Couldn’t he have just waited a little longer?】

【She had already developed feelings for this man. How could she possibly tamper with the translation of the stone tablets?】

【Nie Chu stepped forward and gently wiped away Zheng Ya’s tears.】

【In an extremely gentle tone, he said, “Actually, I know you like me, and I like you as well. Forget about the Ghost Pill of Subjugation. Assist me wholeheartedly. In the future, we will always be together!”】

【At that moment, Zheng Ya very much wanted to kill Nie Chu, but she simply could not!】

【She could only glare at him angrily and prepare herself for death.】

【Zheng Ya had thought it through clearly. The more he forced her to do something, the more she would refuse.】

【She would absolutely never let him have his way!】

【But she had still underestimated the power of the Ghost Pill of Subjugation.】

【Under the influence of that legendary pill, whatever Nie Chu said, she would involuntarily obey.】

【Soon, the contents of the stone tablets were translated once more.】

【They recorded the life story of the master of the secret realm.】

【He had not fallen. Instead, one hundred ninety thousand years ago, he had successfully Shattered the Void and stepped into the God Realm.】

【According to his account, becoming an immortal was already as difficult as ascending to heaven. As for becoming a god, the difficulty was more than a hundred times greater.】

【Moreover, strength alone was useless. One must possess deep fortune and obtain heavenly opportunity in order to Shatter the Void and Ascend to the God Realm.】

【If it is destined, it will come; if not, do not force it.】

【In his view, that saying was not appropriate.】

【Even if it is not destined, one must still fight for it and seize it!】

【Because if you do not fight or seize, you will never have any hope of victory!】

【Therefore, if someone’s fortune was not sufficiently deep, they could attempt another path.】

【That was to do good deeds, accumulate faith power, and gather fortune.】

【When faith power became strong enough, it was possible to defy heaven and change one’s fate!】

【Nie Chu did not truly believe this claim.】

【Do good deeds? Your immortals may be hypocritical, but I am a ghost entity. You want me to do good deeds?】

【In less than a day, I would become a joke throughout the entire Underworld!】

【Yet even though he sneered at this method,】

【Nie Chu was an extremely suspicious person.】

【He firmly believed that the master of the secret realm would not speak without reason.】

【Whether this matter could be trusted still required careful research.】

【He carefully placed the paper in his robe, then took Zheng Ya’s delicate hand and said with a warm expression, “Wait for me here. In ten days, I will return to marry you. At that time, we will become Daoist partners. We [N O V E L I G H T] will cultivate together and progress together. In the future, we will step into the God Realm together. Would that not be wonderful?”】

【After drawing that grand promise, Nie Chu left.】

【Zheng Ya, meanwhile, washed her face with tears.】

【She had thought about escaping, anywhere would do.】

【But under the effect of the Ghost Pill of Subjugation, she could go nowhere. She could not even leave this blessed land grotto heaven!】

【Ten days later, Nie Chu held a grand wedding ceremony.】

【He invited many friends and seniors as witnesses.】

【One could say he gave Zheng Ya full face. Even the affection in his eyes appeared sincere.】

【This even made Zheng Ya feel dazed.】

【She began to doubt whether what had happened ten days earlier had been a dream.】

【Perhaps Nie Chu truly liked her?】

【The answer was certain. It was false. Everything was false.】

【On the second day after they became Daoist partners, Nie Chu left Zheng Ya, claiming he had matters to attend to. He told her to cultivate diligently in this place and not to waste her practice.】

【On the surface it seemed like kindness, but in truth, it completely confined Zheng Ya to this place.】

【She did not even have the freedom to go out.】

【And once Nie Chu left, it was for tens of thousands of years!】

【When he finally returned, he happily told Zheng Ya that the content on the stone tablets was feasible.】

【In other ancient texts, he had also found similar claims about doing good deeds to accumulate fortune.】

【“Since that is the case, let us work together to ascend to the God Realm, shall we?”】

【“At that time, we can become a joyful divine couple. Would that not be wonderful?”】

【After a brief silence, Zheng Ya suddenly made a move, attempting to kill Nie Chu!】

【Although doing so meant that whether she succeeded or not, she would die as well,】

【Zheng Ya did not hesitate in the slightest and acted without reservation!】

【After tens of thousands of years, she had already thought it through.】

【Rather than remain imprisoned by Nie Chu forever, she would rather die!】

【Unfortunately, Zheng Ya’s thoughts were far too naive!】

【The instant she made her move, Nie Chu merely willed it, and she was plunged into unbearable agony, collapsing to her knees on the spot.】

【“You want to kill me? I remember telling you that once someone swallows the Ghost Pill of Subjugation, if the master dies, the one who swallowed it will also perish.”】

【“Yet you still chose to act. Are you planning to force me to kill you?”】

【“Stop dreaming. You are my virtuous inner helper.”】

【“However, to punish you for this impulse, I intend to send you to Cave Number Nine of the Myriad Ghost Caverns, so they can all have a taste of this fairy maiden.”】

【“A small punishment as a warning.”】

【“I think they will treat you very well.”】

【Upon hearing this, Zheng Ya’s face turned deathly pale.】

【She was not afraid of death, but she did not want to be humiliated to death.】

【The Cave Number Nine of the Myriad Ghost Caverns that Nie Chu spoke of was filled with lecherous evil ghosts.】

【If she fell into their hands, Zheng Ya would suffer far worse than death.】

【So she knelt and begged Nie Chu for a chance, promising that she would never do such a thing again.】

【This was the first time Zheng Ya submitted to Nie Chu!】

【However, once there is a first time, there will be a second and a third.】

【Gradually, one’s will is worn down and eventually completely tamed.】

【To the outside world, Zheng Ya was known as the strategist of the Falling Soul Sect. Few knew that she was merely a puppet pushed forward by Nie Chu.】

【What Nie Chu wanted was faith power. He wanted all ghost entities under heaven to believe he was an exceptionally benevolent ghost.】

【So he naturally could not appear too clever, and dirty schemes could not come from his own mouth.】

【All the inconvenient words and actions were carried out by Zheng Ya.】

【That was her purpose.】

【As time passed, Nie Chu stepped into the Ghost Emperor Realm.】

【And Zheng Ya also successfully entered Half Step Emperor Realm, only one step away from Immortal Emperor.】

【If things had continued like this and the two of them stepped into the God Realm together, there would have been nothing more to say.】

【Zheng Ya had nearly resigned herself to fate.】

【But later, through a certain accidental opportunity, she finally learned the true reason why Nie Chu had kept her alive all along.】
