Chapter 254: Cooperating With Creator God

Yan Qianli’s revival within the Flameheart Palace was progressing at an increasingly rapid pace.

He knew that this was a favor from the Heavenly Dao. According to the Creator God’s initial statement, he would have needed to wait until the overseas storyline involving Chu Tiange had concluded, and when the powerful figures from overseas arrived in the mainland, he would have been almost healed, possibly taking another year or two.

However, he had now healed in advance, with the only issue being the lack of a reliable physical body; he was currently just a little flame.

Apart from his physical body, his nascent soul had already fully recovered and even exhibited some changes compared to before.

He had gained a deeper understanding of the concept of rebirth, allowing him to die and be reborn with certain conditions. These conditions weren’t particularly strict; as long as there were fire elements present, it would suffice. Therefore, as long as he wasn’t in an extremely hostile environment, he can retain immortality in the form of the little flame.

Of course, if someone knew in advance and guarded his corpse… that would be a bit awkward. However, Yan Qianli didn’t believe that his opponents would remain unscathed when he was killed and then resurrected. He believed that most of them would experience despair upon seeing his return.

In any case, it was an incredibly powerful skill, and there was no need to be too picky about it.

His aura grew stronger day by day, and Yan Qianli himself wasn’t sure how to feel about it. It felt a bit underhanded….

Although he had been proud and unwilling to accept the skills bestowed upon him, and although he could comprehend the white flame beyond the set limits, this lifesaving skill was different…

Sigh…

Yan Qianli claimed to surpass the Heavenly Dao in the future. However, now he felt a bit anxious and out of breath.

He had been obedient during the few times he was taken out to refine pills, without considering whether he had surpassed the couple’s level in the mortal realm.

Of course, he was unaware of the added setting that prevented him from rebelling; he believed it was just because he felt inferior.

Having said that, this couple was pretty impressive… The Creator God had a touch of hostility within him, which was why we, the demonic cultivators, existed in the narrative. Seeing that the Creator God had already begun to kill in the outside world, the ruthless gleam in his eyes was quite interesting. If this continued, it was unclear whether this world would become a realm of righteousness or a fiery abyss.

Even his arch-enemy, Qiu Wuji, was starting to seem pleasing to the eye after interacting with her for a long time. The woman used to scowl angrily and shout to kill. But now, day by day, she seemed to have acquired a touch of tenderness, looking at the Little Flame with a hint of fondness, like how one would look at a pet cat.

Pah. The Little Flame tucked its hands in its pockets.

Suddenly, he erupted in anger. “What progress have you made in finding the suitable body you were tasked with finding?”

It must be because he didn’t have a physical body; that’s why he wasn’t tough enough!

Outside the cave, the voice of the subordinate tremblingly replied, “My Lord, please calm down. The information from the distant search has not yet returned. They have been gone for quite a while, so there should be some results…”

Yan Qianli also knew that it was unreasonable to blame his subordinates, especially considering the short amount of time that had passed. Finding a treasure was not an easy task, especially with the righteous path hunting down the demonic cultivators everywhere. Everyone was in a difficult situation.

As for the other powerful demonic cultivators, he didn’t dare to entrust them with this task. The demonic path had no sense of loyalty or unity. Once they sensed weakness, they would seize the opportunity to devour him before considering helping him find the treasure.

If he truly wanted to find something, the most reliable person was the Creator God. As long as he wrote a few lines, it would be done…

Damn, why did I start thinking about this again? Do I really think of myself as a pet?

Yan Qianli was extremely agitated, cursing internally, “Damn you, Heaven!”

At that moment, a faint thought transmission came from within the flames. “Do you hate the will of heaven?”

Yan Qianli paused for a moment and then erupted in anger again. “Who’s hiding and speaking in riddles? Come out!”

The air fell silent for a few seconds, leaving only the crackling sound of the flames.

After a long while, the other party sighed helplessly. “With your temper, how do you plan to resist the Heavenly Dao?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Yan Qianli’s heart skipped a beat. Right, what did Creator God ask me to do? Wasn’t it to wait for these idiots to come out and stab them in the back?

I couldn’t break the Heavenly Dao anyway, and I ended up becoming an exclusive little flame for alchemy. Do you idiots also want to challenge the Heavenly Dao? Enjoy the taste, hahaha…

Yan Qianli felt a surge of energy, and he said with a stern face, “Resisting the Heavenly Dao is a significant matter. How can I trust someone who hides their identity?”

“If you don’t trust me, I won’t trust you either.” The voice chuckled. “Trust needs to be built through mutual interaction. Before we trust each other, I can’t reveal anything.”

Yan Qianli asked, “That sounds reasonable. How do you plan to build mutual trust?”

“I know that you currently only have your soul and you want a physical body. I can help you. How about it?”

Yan Qianli remained unmoved. “How can you help me? Are you going to give me the Red Flame Dragon Bone?”

“Here are two options for you to choose from.” The voice laughed. “I have many ready-made puppet bodies. And there are also bodies with the cultivation of Nascent Soul stage or above. After taking over, you can easily refine them.”

Yan Qianli sneered, “Is that kind of trashy body even worth considering?”

“Some of them are quite good…”

“Heh, who knows how many backdoors you’ve left? Do you think I’m one of those ignorant idiots?” Yan Qianli mocked. “Now that you mention it, I recall recent rumors about a young prodigy known as the ‘Seven Wonders Young Master’ who possesses remarkable talents and achieved Nascent Soul stage in just a hundred years. I always felt that there was something strange about this person. Is he one of your puppets?”

The voice fell silent for a moment, then said, “As expected of the demon lord who has climbed to the top of the demonic path, you are well-informed about these matters. Since you don’t trust the bodies I provide, let’s try a different approach.”

“How?”

“Since you want the Red Flame Dragon Bone, I do know its location. I can provide you with the coordinates, and you can retrieve the treasure yourself. After obtaining the treasure, you should be able to trust my sincerity.”

Yan Qianli was momentarily stunned. “You actually know where it is…”

“In the desolate land of the southern border, a barren place, thousands of feet underground, lies the hidden dragon bone,” the voice gradually faded away. “May the demon lord recover soon, and may the flames once again reign over the world.”

“Wait a minute!” Yan Qianli angrily retorted, “What’s with this long-winded nonsense? You want to gain my trust, so how about telling me your end of the deal in one go? Don’t keep dragging it out!”

The voice, which was about to disappear, was caught off guard by these words and remained silent for a while before saying, “Yan Qianli, you truly have a fiery temper.”

“What about it? It’s obviously your fault, playing these word games, splitting one thing into two parts. It’s so irritating!” Yan Qianli retorted in annoyance.

The voice sighed, “Does the demon lord hate Qiu Wuji?”

Huh? Yan Qianli chuckled and sneered. “That woman is so aloof. One day, her soul will separate from her body, and her physical form will be played with frivolously by an ordinary person in the mortal world. That will finally ease the hatred in my heart!”

The voice was silent for a long time. It seemed to want to say, “Your taste is truly unique. While others might engage in such activities personally, you’re letting an ordinary mortal do it for you,” but it held back. Was this what a creature with no females in its mind looks like?

After a long silence, it said, “If I allow you to kill Qiu Wuji, it might be impossible, too difficult for even a strong individual like you. However, Qiu Wuji has taken on a disciple, do you know?”

Yan Qianli’s heart was filled with joy. “I’ve heard some rumors.”

“This disciple should be at the age when they’re venturing out of their sect. If the demon lord can kill this person or bring them back for me to question… then it will be a time for our sincere cooperation.”

Yan Qianli burst into laughter. “Deal!”

The voice finally disappeared completely, and Yan Qianli could feel the sense of divine consciousness receding far. The person’s true body was in a very distant location, making it almost impossible to discern.

This person was extremely cautious, playing all kinds of tricks. He clearly suspects that Qiu Wuji’s disciple is related to the Heavenly Dao, but he does not reveal his intentions and only provokes Yan Qianli’s hatred to do it. A lot of twists and turns.

However, even in caution, this person couldn’t have imagined that Yan Qianli, the one who once wanted to burn the heavens and earth, had already been recruited by the Heavenly Dao.

So, with every word spoken, it was like watching a seasoned general on a theatrical stage. The more he acted passionately, the more Yan Qianli enjoyed it.

“Cooperating with Creator God has unexpectedly given me the joy of manipulating others… Haha, hahaha…”

“My Lord, My Lord!” A subordinate rushed inside the cave in a flustered manner. “There are a man and a woman outside, and they’ve broken in…”
