Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!

As if realizing what Xu Shan was thinking about, the dark-haired woman smiled. "A Celestial Spirit is attached to a person's soul. It has nothing to do with the body."

She further continued, ignoring the confused expressions of Xu Shan. "The Third Prince's Celestial Spirit is yours since you've merged with him. However, your real soul from the earth is completely new to this world. It also counts as a completely new entity."

"That's why you should be getting another Celestial Spirit soon. As for what your second Celestial Spirit will be..." She shrugged. "I guess we'll only know when the time comes."

"A Celestial Spirit that was attached to the Third Prince's Soul? Why didn't it affect my personality right away then?!"

He remembered that his personality only started changing after he left his room. Before that, he still felt completely normal. No matter what, he had a hunch that it was related to the book.

"Isn't that because of your wish?" The dark-robed woman didn't even try to hide anything. "If you receive his memories, of course, you should also receive his problems..."

Hearing her words, Xu Shan understood everything! So this was the cost he had to pay! He had to share his soul with the Third Prince's Celestial Spirit!

The Third Prince became known as a Crazy Tyrant all because this Celestial Spirit decayed his morality! It was the biggest influence on the Third Prince and his biggest problem.

Initially, Xu Shan didn't have to worry about that Celestial Spirit since his soul was different. He was free from the influence of the Celestial Spirit of Devouring, even though he couldn't use it either.

However, as soon as he opened his soul for those memories, the Book sent one more thing to his soul... The Celestial Spirit of Devouring! Living with this Demonic Celestial Spirit... That was the cost he paid for those memories!

For others, it might be a blessing to think that he received a unique Celestial Spirit. However, for him, it was quite different. Now that he knew that he was also going to receive another Celestial Spirit, he would've been fine even without the Celestial Spirit of Devouring!

He initially didn't have to carry the burden of the Celestial Spirit of Devouring. However, now things had become much more troublesome.

He couldn't help but glance at the dark-robed woman next to him as if this was what she wanted. The idea to receive the memories was given to him by her as well! He had a feeling that she wanted him to receive this Celestial Spirit. As for the reason, he still didn't know.

When he was thinking about regaining the Third Prince's memories, his biggest worry was losing himself in the process. Even though it didn't happen like he worried it would, the outcome wasn't much different.

He was still himself, but his innate nature... It had changed. And it was what happened when his Celestial Spirit of Devouring wasn't even completely awake yet!

He couldn't help but wonder what was going to happen when this Celestial Spirit completely awakened! Was he going to lose all his emotions? Or could he control that Celestial Spirit?

There was another thing he worried about... It was his second Celestial Spirit. He couldn't help but wonder if his second Celestial Spirit was going to be destroyed by his first Celestial Spirit if it was too weak? There were too many questions left.

"Why does it feel like I'm stuck in quicksand? The more I try to get out of it, the more I'm caught?" He muttered, glancing at the dark-haired woman next to him who pretended not to hear him.

Whenever he tried to solve one problem, he realized that two more were waiting for him. This was a real headache for him!

"This entire world is a quicksand. Either you'll get swallowed by it, or you'll devour it all! It depends on you..." The woman's voice echoed in the room as her figure turned illusory before she disappeared entirely.

For quite some time, Xu Shan remained standing in his place, thinking back to the dark-robed woman's words.

"Either I'll be swallowed by it, or I'll devour it all?" He repeated those vague words.

....

The Emperor's Palace was the most majestic palace in the entire Eternal Dynasty! In fact, even when compared to the Celestial Palace on the floating island, it didn't pale in comparison.

No matter who saw the Palace, they were left in a daze for a long time. The Emperor's Palace was so majestic yet so beautiful... It was like gods lived inside this place!

Even though the Prince's Palaces were luxurious, they could never be compared to the Palace where the Emperor of the Eternal Dynasty lived!

It was said that similar to the Celestial Palace, the Emperor's Palace also had a small world inside! It was as if it contained a different space inside, which separated it from the Celestial Realm!

The Palace had vast fields that were filled with rare herbs that were hard to find in the Celestial Realm! It was said that there were even some rare herbs that were over a million years old and could completely heal a person who was on the verge of death!

There were even many herbs that could expand a person's lifespan by up to a hundred years each!

There wasn't just the herb garden inside the Emperor's Palace but also a training field, covering an area as vast as a Kingdom!

Millions of Royal Soldiers trained inside the training field every day, just waiting for the day when they would be called for a battle!

The soldiers were filled with vitality and strength! There was not one person amongst those millions of soldiers who was not a Celestial Warrior! It was enough to show how much strength the Eternal Dynasty hid behind the surface!

This was also the reason that no other Dynasty dared to even think about attacking the Eternal Dynasty.

Currently, the Emperor of the Eternal Dynasty was sitting on a majestic throne that was made from Rare Celestial Stones. Just the aura of the Emperor alone was enough to suppress everyone inside the Royal Palace.

Not one person dared to speak to the Emperor until they were asked to speak.

However, even the Emperor was currently frowning.

There was a woman before him. Her hands were tied, and she was sitting on her knees. Obviously, the Emperor recognized her. She was the granddaughter of the Eternal Dynasty's Great General and also the daughter of the current Chen Clan Patriarch.

At the moment, the woman was sitting on her knees like a prisoner. Next to her was Zi Huang, who was also on his knees respectfully.
