Chapter 17: Ultimate Ascension to Kingship No One Can
"You may follow my brother, Lin Nan, but I will not allow him to separate you three siblings!" Lian Yun said with a hint of lament in his tone.
The bond and fate shared among these three siblings were indeed stronger than the heavens and harder than the earth. Any person with a shred of humanity would not dare to tear them apart.
Upon hearing Lian Yun's words, the three siblings immediately knelt on one knee and exclaimed, "We, the three siblings, pay our respects to Lord!"
At the same time, a mysterious cloud emanated from the center of their foreheads, enveloping them in an aura of extreme enigma.
However, Lian Yun shook his head and said, "I have a precedent of causing the death of nineteen slaves."
"We are Spirits, our wills are not bound by physical bodies. We cannot guarantee that our minds will remain unchanged in the future, leading us to regret for a lifetime. We implore you, Lord, to show mercy!" The three knelt in unison, pleading earnestly.
"Yun'er, sign the contract! If you truly respect your Ghost Slaves, when they achieve Monarch status in the future, you can sacrifice your spiritual power to dissolve the contract with them. For now, just comply with their wishes! The bond between these three siblings is indeed admirable!"
Lin Dong remarked with deep appreciation.
He certainly did not wish for any harm to come to Lian Yun, but merely hoped that Lian Yun would sign a contract with the Three Ghosts.
As the Three Ghosts stated, they were Spirits, their minds not anchored by physical forms, making them susceptible to external influences that could lead them to act against Lian Yun.
Even if it was not outright betrayal, it could still pose a danger to Lian Yun, potentially resulting in fatal threats. Only by signing a Soul Contract could the stability of the Spirits' minds be ensured, reducing unnecessary crises.
Yet, Lian Yun felt a sense of difficulty. However, when he thought of the Box formed from the transformation of his own Yin-Yang Stage, he nodded slightly but then asked solemnly, "What were your names in life?"
"Ding Tie, Ding Gang, Ding Lan. We pay our respects to you, Lord."
"Why?"
Three Ghosts felt a sudden confusion, but among the three, Ding Lan seemed to be the most perceptive. He was the first to address Lian Yun's question, speaking earnestly, "We once firmly believed that if our Lord were to fall, if we sincerely protected Him, He would not scatter us. If our Lord could rise again, with His resources, we too could rise alongside Him! The saying goes, it's better to provide timely help than to add embellishments."
"Initially, we only sought not to be separated, but now we sincerely hope to serve as our Lord's loyal subjects. Please accept us!" Ding Tie, Ding Gang, and Ding Lan pleaded.
"Please accept us, my Lord!" Ding Gang and Ding Lan followed suit in their pleas.
Lian Yun nodded without saying more. Then he opened his mouth and inhaled, devouring three mysterious clouds. Three black dots flashed across his brow; when they receded, it signified that the contract had been formed.
The Three Ghosts immediately sighed in relief, exchanging glances filled with joy. They then knelt again and respectfully said, "We pay our respects to you, my Lord!"
"Get up. From now on, do not kneel before me; this is an order!"
"Thank you for your grace, my Lord! Thank you for your kindness!"
"And do not call me my Lord. Hmm... you can call me Big Head like others do or Young Master Yun; just don't use honorifics!"
"We thank you for your grace, Young Master Yun! Thank you for your kindness!"
Clearly, the Three Ghosts felt that addressing Lian Yun as Young Master Yun was more respectful than calling him Big Head.
"Come inside!"
As the Three Ghosts entered his body, Lian Yun sat cross-legged and observed the Box within him.
"Uncle, just find a bracelet-shaped Ghost Group for my brother; he can collect ghosts without it!" Lin Nan said.
It was evident that he was upset about Lian Yun giving good things to himself.
He then looked at the Seven Spirits and said, "Just now my brother only gave you a choice between him and me. Now I’m giving you a chance to choose whether to follow or not. However, I need to clarify some things first; I hope you will consider carefully."
"I am not as kind-hearted as my brother! So you either follow me as slaves or regroup with other Spirits and wait for a new master! Don't think that by not choosing me, you will gain your freedom."
"Secondly, I already have a complete set of Ghost Slaves, and I will prioritize enhancing their strength before it’s your turn!"
"My personal energy is limited; it’s best if you don’t have more than fifteen Ghost Slaves!" Lin Dong advised.
However, Lin Nan shook his head and said, "It’s fine. If they all want to follow me, I will take them all in. If I don’t work harder, how can I surpass my brother in the future? And protect my future younger brother or sister!"
Lin Nan already bore the name Nanzi and was the Son of the Southern Emperor from the Lin family. He naturally possessed a domineering aura, but the strict education from the Lin family made him appear somewhat humble most of the time.
Now, it seemed he had been stimulated, daring even to disregard Uncle's advice, the current head of the family.
Tiger Soul seemed to sense Lin Nan's imposing presence and was the first to submit. Soon after, Leopard Ghost also chose to follow him. However, the five humanoid ghosts remained silent, which essentially meant they were unwilling to follow.
They were already ghost kings and naturally had their own pride; they would rather be a chicken than a phoenix's tail. Moreover, they understood that being in the Lin family meant their future master would not be lacking in resources! Thus, they ignored Lin Nan's reputation and status.
However, those who calculated too cleverly often ended up being outsmarted. In the future, they would realize what they had truly missed! But by then, it would no longer concern Lin Nan, let alone have anything to do with Lian Yun.
Meanwhile, among Lin's Three Uncles, they were communicating through spiritual power.
After Lian Yun sat cross-legged, the eldest spoke first: "Truly Sister's Son, having faced such treatment yet still possessing such kindness—whether human or ghost, it is a natural respect!"
The second added: "Yes, it's a pity that our sister passed away early. I wonder if Yun'er is still alive; this must be her deepest regret!"
Old Three remarked: "So we must take good care of Yun'er for our sister! Who knows about the Demon Realm..."
The eldest interrupted: "Shut up! Unless one of us three brothers can achieve imperial status, we must never mention this matter!"
Old Three replied: "But Yun'er will enter Yin Yang City; once there, he will surely learn about that rumor!"
"Second Brother: 'I believe Sister's Son will not act recklessly. He won't enter the Demon Realm until he becomes a Monarch! And if he wishes to enter the Demon Realm then, we will follow him and protect him with our lives!'
Old Three: 'Two days ago when I saw Yun'er, he had already exhausted his spiritual power. However, on the way back, he was able to regenerate his spiritual energy. The problem is that the Explosive Ascension Pill caused too much harm to his body. It may not be easy for him to achieve the status of Monarch.'
Second Brother: 'Not necessarily! The damage from the Explosive Ascension Pill is almost permanent. However, Yun'er's true intention in going to Evil Spirit City might be to attempt the Ultimate Ascension to Kingship. But if he fails at the Ultimate Ascension to Kingship, it could lead to his demise. No one has ever completed that achievement, no matter how strong or determined Yun'er may be.'
Seemingly aware that Second Brother's words would bring great concern, Oldest Brother quickly changed the subject: 'Ah, while Yun'er's determination is commendable, do you think I don't want to go to the Demon Realm? It's just that if we go, it might give the Demon Clan a reason to launch a full-scale attack on humanity! At that point, Human Suffering would be immense, and humanity could end up enslaved or even exterminated!'
'Forget it; let's not speak of this matter any further! We will wait until Yun'er returns from Yin Yang City!'
At this moment, Lin Nan had just arrived to protect his future brother or sister. Second Brother immediately shifted the topic again, smiling: 'By the way, I haven't congratulated Old Three yet! The Emperor Realm can still have children; regardless of gender, they will surely be a Talent in the future!'
Old Three: 'Ah, all our descendants are male. To outsiders, our Lin Clan appears prosperous in terms of offspring, but for us, Male Dominance and Female Decline may not be a good thing. Feather and their clan have no descendants to this day; perhaps that is part of the reason. If only we had a daughter instead!'
Oldest Brother: 'Old Three, don't take advantage of your situation and then act innocent!'
Second Brother and Old Three: 'Haha!'
