Chapter 838: A Normal Adolescence Child

A white thread coiled around the Demon Dragon’s neck.

The Demon Dragon showed a mocking expression and muttered: 「 You really think a single finger is enough to do anything to me? 」

He easily snapped the thread with his hand, briefly went into the darkness, and pulled a black finger out.

Gu Qing Shan looked carefully at it.

Indeed, this was the same black finger that was being suppressed under the lava cathedral!

“Why did it try to attack you?” Gu Qing Shan curiously asked.

The Demon Dragon explained: 「 It’s trying to provoke me. The goal is to make me destroy this finger. If I really did that, the finger shall simply be regenerated on its main body, that would be no different from helping its main body regrow a finger 」

“So that was why, then how should this finger be dealt with?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

「 It can only be sealed for now 」the Demon Dragon answered.

He pushed the black finger into the ground.

The large black finger slowly sank down and disappeared without a trace.

The Demon Dragon stood up back and asked: 「 Very well, child, now that everything is dealt with, why don’t you come down here and choose your treasure? 」 historical

Child.

Seems like the Demon Dragon’s judges a person’s age the same way the Bygone Era system does.

“It’s ok, I don’t want them” Gu Qing Shan waved his hand.

「 Why not? 」the Demon Dragon curiously asked.

“I have a rule not to take candy from strangers” Gu Qing Shan replied.

「 Child, that is different, this is completely free, I can swear on it 」the Demon Dragon tried to make its voice sound as gentle as possible.

“I was advised just now that a child not accompanied by an adult can’t get close to you” Gu Qing Shan replied.

The Demon Dragon looked at Gu Qing Shan in a strange way and muttered: 「 You were able to get here alone, obtain that guy, and disguise yourself as one of those crappy Soul Artifacts that are vastly stronger than most powerful evil creatures. Because of all that, I thought you wouldn’t be someone who would stick to the rules and listen to orders 」

“There’s no need to provoke me, I’m a child who still hasn’t reached puberty yet so I believe my life is more important than rebelling” Gu Qing Shan shrugged.

The Demon Dragon went silent briefly before continuing: 「 Then it’s unfortunate, you won’t be able to receive any treasures, only the simplest kind of gift 」

“I don’t need any gifts either, if possible, I want to leave right now” Gu Qing Shan replied.

He then asked the flying disk at his feet: “Can you bring me out of here?”

[Naturally, the Abyss Jail isn’t a safe location. In accordance with the children’s protective protocols I can take you directly back to the Primordial Heaven Realm, would you like to leave now?] the disk asked him.

Gu Qing Shan glanced at the Demon Dragon.

The Demon Dragon stared at him and went silent.

Hm.

The Demon Dragon isn’t saying anything or trying to convince me to take any gifts.

Gu Qing Shan thought briefly and replied: “Not yet, I want to stay here for now”

The Demon Dragon abruptly roared in anger, charged straight at the screen, and threw a punch at Gu Qing Shan.

The void of space became warped.

Countless ripples emerged out like rain falling onto the surface of the water and spread all around.

Gu Qing Shan was intact.

“Tch, and here I thought you’d be able to endure it longer” he spoke regretfully.

The Demon Dragon stared at him with a cruel expression and asked: 「 So you’ve already noticed? 」

Gu Qing Shan replied: “It was quite easy. One benefit of having strength is having no need to care about anyone’s opinions, I’m guessing that after the end of the Bygone Era, you became the strongest existence in the Wraith Realm, so you’ve already gotten used to not needing to conceal any thoughts”

「 Such as? 」the Demon Dragon asked.

“Such as the fact that you hoped for a true and fair transaction. Unfortunately, the Abyssal Fate Weaver didn’t hold such a thought, it only believed that letting you go was already the greatest mercy it could grant you, even though such mercy might have also been a lie” Gu Qing Shan replied.

「 I never thought you would actually be so much smarter than that monster, regretfully, a transaction with you holds no value 」the Demon Dragon sighed.

Gu Qing Shan puffed out his chest: “I’m only an adolescent child, but I went through my share of society. When you were gauging the Abyssal Fate Weaver’s strength, I already noticed”

Gu Qing Shan looked at the Demon Dragon with a complicated expression: “You were hoping that the Abyssal Fate Weaver could offer you enough benefits, in other words, you were hoping for the power of the Abyss”

The Demon Dragon stared closely at Gu Qing Shan for a long while before spitting out these words: 「 A prodigious child 」

“I’m quite curious though, as a weapon of humanity, why would you want to obtain the power from their enemy?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

The Demon Dragon answered with a mocking town: 「 An ant also wants to hear the thunderclaps of heaven? 」

“An ant is no threat, it only knows to stare in awe at great power” Gu Qing Shan calmly replied.

The Demon Dragon sighed: 「 The times have changed, the current humanity can’t even win against me, and after the Abyssal Fate Weaver took control of the demonic sea creatures, it had already been studying the evil creatures, what else would you have me do? 」

“Evil creatures” Gu Qing Shan muses: “The evil creatures are the source of your power, and once the Life Mysteries of the evil creatures are grasped by the Abyssal Fate Weaver, your Demon Dragon bloodkin would no longer be able to activate, thus your power wouldn’t be able to grow, or perhaps you would not even be able to replenish your power, so you began to study the Abyss?”

「 Indeed, I also want to live 」the Demon Dragon replied.

“Then why did you want to kill me?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

The Demon Dragon suddenly roared: 「 Because I despise you humans! 」

Gu Qing Shan shook his head: “When I chose whether or not to leave, you were still able to contain your emotions, but when I decided to remain, you were extremely disappointed and even tried to attack me”

“I’m just an ant, why does it matter if I remain here or not?”

Gu Qing Shan paused briefly and continued: “Unless I can actually affect you”

“But my strength should be trivial”

“Which means my strength has nothing to do with it”

Gu Qing Shan suddenly asked: “Could it be, you are wary of my status or identity?”

The Demon Dragon simply silently listened, only at this point did his expression change.

「 If you try to do anything extraneous, I will immediately release the Abyssal Fate Weaver, everyone will die together 」

Gu Qing Shan smiled amiably and spoke: “Truthfully, we can form an alliance of mutual benefits, there is no need to threaten me with mutual destruction”

「 There is no benefit that you bastards can give me! 」the Demon Dragon roared.

“Is that really so? Why not try and think about it a bit more” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Demon Dragon looked at his sincere expression and slightly calmed down the flames of anger in his heart.

Benefits.

This is the Abyss Jail that humanity created, so the true highest authority would naturally lie in the hands of humans.

This human is pathetically small, but I definitely can’t underestimate him.

There’s no need to tell him too much, I just have to direct him to do ‘that’.

The Demon Dragon calmed down a bit: 「 Indeed, there is one thing you can do for me 」

“Please tell me, I will definitely do my best to accomplish it” Gu Qing Shan replied.

「 I need you to give me my next directive 」

Gu Qing Shan said doubtfully: “I’m just a normal child, I probably don’t have the authority to do that”

「 No, after the Bygone Era was over, no human has ever come here until now, so the artificial intelligence’s authority standard has dropped to its lowest point, you can do it as long as you are human 」

Gu Qing Shan nodded with a contemplating look.

The Demon Dragon warned him: 「 I suggest that you don’t try tricks. I’ve already memorized you, as soon as you try anything out of the ordinary, I will use everything I have to destroy this place 」

Gu Qing Shan smiled.

“Indeed” he slowly replied, “Not only are you powerful, but you are also highly intelligent and exceedingly cautious. At the same time, you can threaten to release the Abyssal Fate Weaver at any moment. The ‘you’ of this world has already awoken and remembered who I am, so we both have trust issues with one another. This is a highly senseless relationship, might as well start over”

「 What do you mean? 」the Demon Dragon didn’t understand what he was saying at all.

“What I mean is that I intend to return here again when you don’t know me yet”

The Demon Dragon stared closely at him like he was looking at a crazy person.

“Farewell, I’m going to meet a different ‘you'”

Gu Qing Shan patted the flying disk.

“You can take me away now”
