Chapter 178:

“I like to talk to smart people!” He Yiming nodded his head in satisfaction.The Ling Tianyu in front of him was a player specially summoned by the system.

At first, He Yiming didn’t understand why the system wanted to summon the 801th hidden player.

It was only after He Yiming had read Ling Tianyu’s life history through the system menu that he finally understood the system’s intentions.

The experience of the number one person in the dark world of Earth was simply a legend.

“Let me give you a simple explanation!” He Yiming briefly explained the situation of the 888 players in the first and second tests besides Ling Tianyu.

Other than that, it was the general situation of this cultivation world.

After he finished his explanation, He Yiming finally got to the point.

“You are different from the other players!

“Your original body has already died. It should have been cremated!

“So you’ll never be able to log off!

“Other than that, you are the only one whose soul has been permanently summoned, and you have completely fused with your current body!

“In other words, other players can be revived if they die. If they don’t want to play anymore, they can go offline at any time!

“Only you can not!

“You will never be able to log off! Moreover, if you were to die, you would die forever! You only… live once!”

He Yiming spoke indifferently.

“……” He Yiming’s words shocked Ling Tianyu, but his expression remained calm.

“This cultivation world is very cruel! It was even darker than the Earth you were on!

“Right now, we’re in Extremely Desolate Region!

“Those ordinary players, they have no problem dealing with ordinary demon beasts!

“But there’s still too much to deal with extremely malicious cultivators.

“But you’re different!

“Ling Tianyu, you’re the emperor of the underworld, the number one on all the wanted lists!

“I will give you all the support you need to grow and become stronger!

“All you have to do is become my disciple! Be a blade that can travel in the dark world for me!” He Yiming spoke slowly.

“Simply put, I’ll be your pawn!” Ling Tianyu smiled and saw through everything.

“If you want to understand this, you can!” As for smart people, it was useless to fool them. Therefore, He Yiming did not explain much.

“I gave you a second life! It’s also because I gave you a brand new life!”

“This is a completely new world that is different from Earth!”

“I won’t force you! Because I have never been that kind of person!”

“There’s a button here. If you don’t want to live, press it, and you’ll die forever! Dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth!

“But if you want to live, tell me your choice!”

He Yiming smiled and took out a command token with a button.

As a player specially summoned by the system, Ling Tianyu had naturally signed an agreement. He Yiming could kill Ling Tianyu at any time with just a thought.

Furthermore, due to the power of the agreement, no matter how much trouble Ling Tianyu caused in the future, he would never be able to harm He Yiming and He Yiming’s sect.

However, He Yiming wasn’t a very vicious and dark person.

Therefore, He Yiming returned the choice to Ling Tianyu.

Did he want to live?

Or did he want to die?

He let Ling Tianyu choose for himself.

“……” Ling Tianyu was silent for a long time before he suddenly spoke.

“Let me be your pawn!”

“But I have one condition! Or rather, a request! I don’t want you to be able to do it immediately, but you must answer me honestly. Can you do that?” Ling Tianyu spoke with an incomparably serious expression.

“Speak!” He Yiming nodded.

From He Yiming’s perspective, Ling Tianyu probably wanted to take revenge and kill the traitor who betrayed him and sent him to the electric chair.

“I still have a relative on Earth. Do you have any way to take care of him?” Ling Tianyu slowly spoke, his eyes fixed on He Yiming.

“He’s very old, and he’s seriously ill… The doctor said that there was at most a year left before he could live… Do you have a way to save him? Under the circumstances where I spent hundreds of millions of flame coins and found no doctors in the world that can save him. Do you have a way?” Ling Tianyu said word by word.

“Yes!” He Yiming said calmly and firmly.

“Good! I believe you!” Ling Tianyu slowly stood up and clenched his fists.

“During the test, I will arrange a spot for your relative to enter the game!

“If he is willing…

“He can come to this world like you!

“Of course, at that time, he only have one life, just like you!

“You will soon understand how cruel this cultivation world is! When the time comes, do you have enough strength to protect your relatives? Do you still want your relatives to be like you? The right to choose remains in your hands.”

He Yiming’s indifferent words caused Ling Tianyu’s aura to change…

“Before the third test, you have to prove to me that you have the ability to help your family!” He Yiming added.

“Hehe, I won’t let you down… Master!” Ling Tianyu said indifferently.

“Very good!” He Yiming nodded and glanced at Ling Tianyu’s head. Only the other players and himself could see his ID.

Zzzz

With a wave of He Yiming’s hand, the ID disappeared completely!

In the future, other than himself, none of the other players would be able to recognize Ling Tianyu as a player from Earth.

“I need you to reach the Spirit Vein Realm within one day! I’ll provide you with all the cultivation pills you need!

“After you reach the Spirit Vein Realm, I will teach you all kinds of cultivation techniques. After that, you’ll go to the Hundred Thousand Mountains to train!

“No matter how hard you train, in seven days, I will help you break through to Foundation Establishment Realm!

“Once you reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, I’ll send you to infiltrate the war-torn lands of the Western Hundred Tribes! It is also a land of death!” He Yiming said slowly, word by word.

Since Ling Tianyu had agreed, He Yiming would do his best to provide the best treatment.

But at the same time, He Yiming also had the highest request!

Perhaps Ling Tianyu would fail and die.

But this was also Ling Tianyu’s choice.

From the moment He Yiming saved Ling Tianyu from the electric chair and brought him to this world, Ling Tianyu’s life was He Yiming’s.

He Yiming left behind enough medicinal pills and the Azure Emperor Immortal Body to Ling Tianyu. After that, he strode out of the secret room.

The moment he returned to the sect hall, He Yiming saw a player waiting for him.

ID: Xiao Huohuo.
