Chapter 181 Chapter 181 The Second Coming
"Young Master Clark... isn't this so..." abrupt? Gu Wenren wanted to add the last word but found no voice to continue.
Although she thought that it was unwise to do so this soon but she also reconsidered one thing that she may have forgotten to gauge.
'Just how powerful is Young Master Clark really?' Gu Wenren paused and could not help but look at our bored gamer in a whole new light.
She had initially assumed that this mystical Senior was stronger than her.
Perhaps a World Traveler Expert or more but in order to claim this entire world under their feet, one would need to be at least a True Immortal.
'Is Young Master Clark a True Immortal already?! Am I in the lofty presence of an Immortal?!'
These conclusions rang in the lovely head of Gu Wenren and her body trembled a little bit in consequence.
Although she tried to hide it, how could this little thing escape from the sharp eyes of our carefree protagonist.
"Why? What's the matter, Gu Wenren? I thought that you wanted to unite this world under one banner and take the Demonic Sword Sect as the only Supreme Influence amongst trillions of people. Did you have a change of heart already?"
Clark smiled and toyed with words like he usually did.
"No... The same condition remains, Young Master Clark. I was only thinking for a moment on how we should begin our conquest.
You should be well aware that if we make our move, the entirety of the righteous sects in this continent would join hands and obliterate us down to the last man, woman, and beast.
Once we start, there is no room for us and the sect but victory or death and nothing in between." Gu Wenren answered in length.
"I know. You let me worry about that. All you need to do is to point me in the right direction. After that, i will handle the rest." Our bored gamer was assured in confidence.
Of course he could ask his handy system about the lay of the land but it was always better to get the opinions of this world's natives about this.
After all, Clark also needs to recruit the Elders of the Demonic Sword Sect in this quest. Not to join in the war but only as a lucky audience in the end.
"I hear you, Young Master Clark. As for which influence and sect we should start, I believe that it is prudent to target the weakest powers nearby first.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey would have little to no resistance at all and I think that..." Gu Wenren advised but was not given the chance to finish her words.
"Let's slaughter an evil sect. Hmmm... I want to take the strongest evil sect as my first prize. Can we make it happen and go tomorrow at the latest?" Clark interrupted.
"But Young Master Clark... a fight of this scale needs extreme preparation. Please reconsider and give us more time! There is no need to be impatient with our plans, Young Master Clark."
Gu Wenren objected in haste. In order to mobilize the sect and their resources, she would have some convincing to do towards the Seniors of the Demonic Sword Sect.
"Why waste much of our time, Gu Wenren. As i have said before, you only need to be there and watch me destroy the enemies in our front. You don't have to lift a finger at all."
Clark convinced for the second time.
"I apologize, Young Master Clark but I have to insist. Please forgive my insolence!"
Gu Wenren replied and bowed deeply before the handsome young man who cradled his head easily with his hands.
Our bored gamer was a picture of perfect calmness and a case could even be given that he looked superbly arrogant in his stance.
Nevertheless, Gu Wenren had uttered no complaint whatsoever.
"So be it. How much time would you need?" Clark had to give up when he saw the familiar look of determination flash on the beautiful countenance of Gu Wenren.
"At least six months, Young Master Clark."
"Nope. I don't have the time to wait that much."
"Three months..."
"Still too long."
"We can make do with 2 months, Young Master Clark. Please."
"Okay then. Two months it is."
"Thank you, Young Master Clark! If there's nothing else... I..."
"Yes, you can go. I will see you again in two months." Clark said at last and after one breath, he was alone once more inside the room.
Lin Che has of course remained silent throughout the ordeal.
'Perhaps i had come about this the wrong way. Maybe there's an easier way to do this.' At this point, he could only smile at the constraints he had set for himself.
He took maybe ten breaths before he had come up on a better solution for this very special problem.
"Looks like you have a bad plan in mind once again, Foul Creature. You evil spawns really thrive in chaos and death.
But you should be concerned because I will be with you every step of the way. I won't tolerate you killing any innocent in your path!"
Lin Che threatened and a palpable killing intent permeated on the scene.
"I know. That's why I will have to prepare a little surprise that I'm sure you would like to see, my dear Primal Warden Lin Che." Clark replied.
"Hmmmp... We shall see." Lin Che said her piece also and the both of them lapsed in easy silence once more.
They were already used to this kind of atmosphere and so none of them chose to break the stillness around them.
One goddess continued standing in vigilance while our bored gamer relaxed comfortably on his bed.
After an indeterminate amount of time, one soul amongst the two uttered to its subconscious.
'Are you still in there?' This was of course none other than our good gamer. He was always a curious lad and this was perhaps one of his weaknesses as an otaku.
Even in his second life, Clark still retained this very peculiar trait.
'You know i am.' The voice inside our bored gamer's head answered without ado.
It was a woman and thus Clark named her Freaky Lady especially because of how weird she was from the start.
'You really don't mean to take my everything from me, right? That was only a joke, yes?' Clark tried to converse with the Freaky Lady.
Although the chances were slim but she was perhaps one of the only remedy he had in order to get away from the sadistic influence of an Elder God.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlas, our avid gamer was only too smart to escape the claws of one meddling overpowered existence, only to fall to the grasp of another.
If that were to happen then it might have been better to just stay where he was and do nothing as there was really no difference between the two conclusions in the end.
'I need not everything. But only a single part of you.' The Freaky Lady replied.
'Let me guess. You want me to be your boyfriend, is that it? You've been smitten by how handsome and adorable I am. I'm sorry, Lady... but i don't fall for faceless ghosts.'
Clark spoke his usual nonsense because he did not like where this conversation was going at all.
Although he was pretty sure that he was a hunk in all aspects of the word but it was unfortunate that this particular attribute was shared by countless other men in this xianxia world.
In the end, our bored gamer could only think of two things that would interest this voice in his head. And anyone of the two were definitely out of limits to anybody's bargaining.
'You are not funny, child. I believe that you already have an idea of what I want from you. There is no need to play these games with me.
That is, if you want to be able to return to your home world in this lifetime.' The Freaky Lady responded.
'I don't know anything at all. Why don't you shed some light on my doubts instead?' Clark replied and he did speak the truth in this case.
He had two remaining puzzles left behind and he was not sure which between them had taken the fancy of this Freaky Lady in his head.
'If you wish to play then I could only oblige. I want the Divine Soul that is inside you.' The Freaky Lady finally said what she was after.
'The Soul Fragment, huh? And here I thought that you wanted my own soul instead. Tsk Tsk. You really know how to push your customers away.'
Clark smiled as he conjured the words up from his mind.
'Your soul is nothing special, child. I would not think of coveting it even if you have a trillion similar souls in your possession.' The Freaky Lady's honesty was brutal indeed.
'Hmmm... That's a hard sale to buy. Do you think you're doing this negotiation correctly in your favor?' Clark retorted.
'We are in the same boat, child. The only one that could help us is each other. But you are free to wait... just as i had already suffered in this state for untold eons of time.'
The Freaky Lady answered and an uncaring shrug could be perceived in her words.
'Which one do you want? I have two Soul Fragments in my pocket.' Clark queried.
'As I said, I only require the Divine Soul and no other. I have no use for a little god's soul.' The Freaky Lady said and the conversation went to a halt for a long long time.
Her words were not that hard to translate at all. This Freaky Lady wanted to have the Elder God's Soul Fragment inside Clark.
'FUCK ME! Should i give up Nancy just like that?!' Clark asked this question over and over again but found no answer even until the break of dawn the next day.
