Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!
144 Chapter 144: Card to Play
"Are you alright?" Xinren asked Xu Shan, who appeared to be lost in some deep thought.
Hearing Xinren's voice, he shook his head lightly. Even though he was still wondering about it, he didn't reveal that on his face.
There was nothing he could do about Duan Mu. Even with a fragment of his soul, he wasn't able to locate him. And now, that fragment of the soul was gone as well, as if the man he knew had died.
Not only did Duan Mu not help him in the least by warning him about the intruders on the mountain, but he was gone as well.
"It doesn't matter. If he's dead, then so be it. But if he's alive, then sooner or later..." Clenching his fist, Xu Shan left the area.
It was easy for him to travel to lower realms by calculating their spatial coordinates. However, it was different to enter the Upper Realm.
First of all, he didn't even know where the Divine Realm actually was. And even if he knew, entering that place was easier said than done.
His first thought went to the Book of Truth. If there was anything that could help him, it was that. Unfortunately, the Book of Truth couldn't help him either.
There was only one strange message that popped up before him.
[Interference Detected... Unable to locate.]
Something kept interfering whenever he tried to locate the Divine Realm. It was like there was something that had shrouded the Divine Realm, protecting it from prying eyes.
In the end, Xu Shan dropped the plan. To get to the Divine Realm, he had to find a way himself. And he had to do that soon, before it was too late.
He glanced back at Xinren, but in the end, he shook his head. Xinren didn't know much about this world, at least not more than he did. If she knew, she would've already told him.
"We need to get back to the Celestial Realm first, and ask my father..." Xu Shan decided. He initially wanted to become stronger and then return for his safety but with the Celestial Lotus gone, he had no other choice but to take the risk.
It had been over a week since he escaped from the Celestial Realm, and he wasn't clear if the problem was solved or not.
"Wait there, Young Master!"
As he was about to leave, he heard a voice calling for him from behind.
Xu Shan turned around, noticing the old man who was the only person that was trying to stop the people who were trying to kill him..The person was quite strong by this world's standards.
"What do you need?" Xu Shan asked the old man, frowning.
"I-i need your help. Please help me save my daughter!" The old man dropped to his knees before the young man.
Even though he was the best Alchemist in this world, and quite strong, but even he couldn't do what Xu Shan could do. There was an inherent difference between the two, based on where they came from
Xu Shan looked weirdly at the old man. In the end, he didn't even answer. He simply turned around, ignoring the old man.
He started walking away. He wasn't a good Samaritan and he had no interest in being one. The more time he wasted, the higher were the chances of the Celestial Lotus being lost forever.
As the old man raised his head, he noticed that Xu Shan wasn't even willing to listen.
"I-i will give you anything you need in return! Just help me with this once! You'll forever be my savior!" The old man roared.
However, Xu Shan once again didn't pay any attention.
"I have no interest in being someone's savior. I have things of my own to do. I still need to find the Divine Realm! Find someone else to help yourself!" Xu Shan retorted, waving his hand, without glancing back
"Divine Realm? I know where the Divine Realm is!" the old man exclaimed, rushing after Xu Shan, who had started creating a portal before him.
However, hearing the old man's words, Xu Shan stopped in his tracks. He turned around.
"Do you know what you'll go through if you're lying to me?!" He asked the old man.
"I am not lying! If you help my daughter, I'll help you in return! I'm the only person in this entire place who knows where the Divine Realm is! Not only do I know where it is, I have a way to get you to the Divine Realm!"
The old man stood his ground firmly. His eyes stern, as if he wasn't lying.
"You already told me so much. What's to stop me from forcing the answer out of you?!" Xu Shan asked, revealing an intrigued look.
He had so many ways to get answers out of the old man, even if he refused. So he was quite curious why the old man thought that he could get help in return.
"I-i know you can torture me, or search my soul! However, I'm prepared for it! If you try any of those ways, my soul will be destroyed on its own! You'll never get your answers. Even if you search this entire world, you'll never know the way!" The old man exclaimed.
"I don't know you. I don't know what kind of person you are. However, I know that you are strong and come from the upper realm. Since you don't know where the Divine Realm is, that means you come from the Celestial Realm instead! Only you can save my daughter!"
"I tried everything to save her, but I failed. But then I saw you. If you help me, I shall do everything you ask me to do! I will be your dog and your servant! I don't care what I have to do, as long as you save my daughter!"
The old man was firm in his stance. He was clear that Xu Shan couldn't get the answers he wanted, unless he was willing. So he had a card to play.
