Summit of the Old Gods

Chapter 407: 374 Night Charm and Nightmare


In the dimly lit room, Lu Ran spoke at length with the Big Nightmare.

Deng Yuxiang's eyes were filled with complex emotions.

She felt as if she had opened the door to a new world, gazing at its bizarre scenes, unable to snap back to reality for a long time.

Only when Lu Ran stopped speaking did the room fall into silence.

Lu Ran knew he had provided too much information, and he gave Deng Yuxiang ample time to think and accept it.

"Hoo..."

Lu Ran took a deep breath, leaned back, and slumped into the chair.

Finally being able to share the secrets he had held for so long gave Lu Ran a sense of relief and ease.

Who knows how much time passed.

In the dim room, her hoarse voice broke the silence: "So, your ability to position by sound like the North Wind believers was never due to some extraordinary talent.

That was the Evil Technique of the Evil Dog Clan, Evil Sense?"

Lu Ran: "Hehe~"

Deng Yuxiang couldn't help but laugh.

Even now, her thoughts were still in disarray.

Lu Ran's sudden laugh also amused her.

Oh, you little Lu Ran...

You really can deceive!

Speaking of which, Lord Immortal Sheep is even more deceptive.

For forty years since descending, He spun a colossal lie, deceiving the whole world.

In this light, little Lu Ran really takes after Him.

Deng Yuxiang whispered: "Who else knows this secret?"

Lu Ran: "Only you."

Deng Yuxiang's face was surprised: "Your little girlfriend doesn't know?"

"Not the right time yet."

"Ha, yet it's the right time for me?"

Lu Ran shrugged: "You are free now."

Upon hearing this, Deng Yuxiang lowered her gaze.

Speaking of freedom, she recalled how Lord Beifeng wanted to take her soul and her life.

Reluctantly, Lu Ran pleaded with Divine·Immortal Goat to forcibly sever the human-divine contract.

She tidied her disheveled long hair and whispered: "Are you so certain that I will go with you?"

Lu Ran lay back in the chair, looking at the ceiling, with a slight smile: "Yes, I am certain.

The contract between you and Beifeng can be cut loose.

The bond between you and me cannot be cut."

Deng Yuxiang turned her eyes to Lu Ran, and through the dim glow, she saw him looking confident.

For some reason, a stubbornness rose in her heart, glaring discontentedly at Lu Ran.

But as she gazed...

Through this face, Deng Yuxiang recalled all that Lu Ran had done for her, putting everything on the line.

The stubbornness in her heart gradually faded, leaving only a tenderness.

Lu Ran spoke again: "Putting aside our past, let's talk about my goal.

For someone like you, it should be quite attractive, right?"

Deng Yuxiang instinctively nodded, a barely noticeable gesture, but it betrayed her inner thoughts.

Eliminate all evils in the world!

It sounds like a cause worth pouring blood and life into.

Lu Ran: "While you were unconscious, Lord Immortal Sheep sent me a message.

After the fifteenth of this month, I will dispatch a party to open a Divine Ruins.

Lord Immortal Sheep wants me to take you along to explore the world after the Divine Ruins."

Deng Yuxiang lowered her head and chuckled: "Immortal Sheep Believer..."

Proud as she is, she never imagined she would one day become an Immortal Sheep Believer.

Of course, Deng Yuxiang also never imagined how terrifying Lord Immortal Sheep truly is.

Lord Immortal Sheep even gifted Lu Ran an Evil Demon Sculpture Garden!

Deng Yuxiang didn't think any other deities had such power.

So, is Lord Immortal Sheep a being above all gods?

Hmm... this deity has so many secrets.

Lu Ran suddenly said: "On the surface, you are an Immortal Sheep Believer."

"On the surface?"

Lu Ran's smile was somewhat enigmatic, and he tilted his head, gesturing at the Night Charm kneeling by the bed: "What do you think of her?"

Deng Yuxiang pursed her lips.

She was well aware that Lu Ran had a Sculpture Garden in his mind.

Of course, Lu Ran still held some back; during the earlier explanations, he only mentioned having an "Evil Demon Sculpture Garden."

He was planning to reveal everything once he discerned the nature of the world.

If he were to say now that the Sculpture Garden also contained Divine Sculptures...

Deng Yuxiang would probably find it really hard to accept!

"What do you mean by 'what do you think'?" Deng Yuxiang had a vague premonition.

Through the faint glow, she saw an expression on Lu Ran's face she had never seen before.

Unrestrained, bold.

After laying the cards on the table, he was indeed somewhat different.

Lu Ran smiled: "Night Charm Clan, of course."

Deng Yuxiang, suppressing her unease, softly replied: "She is my mortal enemy."

Lu Ran corrected: "Was."

Five years of life as a North Wind believer isn't something easily severed.

Under the influence of the deities, Deng Yuxiang harbored deep hatred toward the Night Charm Clan for five years, and it will take some time for her mindset to change.

Lu Ran continued to smile: "The Night Charm before you, along with the Evil Demon Sculpture behind her, are not our enemies.

They belong to me; they are my servants."

Deng Yuxiang moved to the bedside, stepping onto the soft carpet with one foot, elegantly and naturally crossing her legs.

She rested her hands on the edge of the bed, gazing down at the docile and obedient Night Charm, still finding it incredible.

It's been five years.

Every encounter resulted in death, and there had never been such a peaceful moment.

Deng Yuxiang's expression turned peculiar: "You want me to sign a contract with the Night Charm Clan."

She thought she would have some resistance to Lu Ran's proposal.

But in reality... there was none!

The Deng Yuxiang of today had fallen from the clouds into the deep abyss.

Previously, when she had calmly accepted death, she was stunned to find Lu Ran in this abyss.

Lu Ran wouldn't let her die, nor would he let her sink into despair.

He dragged her out of the mire and led her onto a brand-new path.

Resistance?

No!

Endless gratitude!

Lu Ran said: "The abilities of the North Wind Clan and the Night Charm Clan are similar.

At the moment, I can't give you the North Wind, so I can only give you the Night Charm."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ran's heart tightened.

Oops, he slipped up!

Lu Ran, keeping his composure, looked down at the Night Charm.

However, Deng Yuxiang's eyes were fixed intently on Lu Ran's face: "At the moment?"

Lu Ran: "..."

I preferred you when your thoughts were disordered and unclear.

Deng Yuxiang let out a nasal sound, seemingly questioning and probing: "Hmm?"

Lu Ran assumed a resigned expression and said directly: "Beifeng wants your life, wants your soul to scatter.

Simply put, I really hate him."

Deng Yuxiang's expression was very complex.

After a long while, she gently stroked Lu Ran's head, looking at him with exceptionally tender eyes:

"Be mindful, don't say such things in the future."

"Okay." Lu Ran responded softly.

His mind was racing, preparing what to say next.

Unexpectedly, Deng Yuxiang didn't press further.

After hearing Lu Ran's words, she simply lowered her head to look at the Night Charm, deliberately ignoring certain information once more.

For some reason, it's unclear what her mentality was this time.

Lu Ran smoothly changed the topic: "As long as we take each step cautiously, one day, you will replace the Night Charm Evil Sculpture.

You will inherit all the Night Charm's powers!

Replace her, surpass her!"

Deng Yuxiang was visibly taken aback, turning her gaze to Lu Ran.

Lu Ran smiled with pursed lips.

This time, he hadn't slipped up.

Lord Immortal Sheep primarily wanted to see Deng Yuxiang, in the identity of the Evil God·Night Charm, replace the position of Divine·North Wind.

Now that would be interesting.

"Hmm..." Deng Yuxiang finally came to her senses, her expression becoming increasingly complex.

She lightly nudged with her toes, knocking off the bamboo hat on the Night Charm's head.

Freed from the constraints of the hat, the Night Charm's jet-black long hair cascaded down like a waterfall.

And without the veil's concealment, the Night Charm's dazzling true face was revealed.

Deng Yuxiang still kept her legs crossed, one white jade-like foot, suspended, propping up the Night Charm's chin, surveying up and down.

In her view was a face that was ghostly pale but beautiful.

Beautiful, thanks to those bewitching violet eyes.

Lu Ran: "..."

Weren't they mortal enemies?

Why are you rewarding her?

Deng Yuxiang admired the Night Charm's captivating visage and softly commented: "If I replace the position of the Night Charm Evil Sculpture, will you create more Night Charms in the future, and those you summon will all be me?"

"Eh?" Lu Ran blinked.

I don't know!

I haven't even thought about it yet.

Deng Yuxiang turned her head to look at Lu Ran, finally revealing a smile after so long:

"Fine, I'll sign a contract with the Night Charm Sculpture."

Earlier, when Lu Ran was explaining his identity, he began by summoning Night Charm.

Presumably, the Night Charm is his first general under his command.

Deng Yuxiang silently pondered.

Considering the abilities of the Night Charm Clan and the minds and temperaments of this clan, it isn't hard to guess.

All this time, when he went alone to various places to train, he must have always kept the Night Charm by his side...

Lu Ran nodded: "Alright, when we go back to Luoxian Mountain tonight, we'll sign the contract with the help of Lord Immortal Goat."

Deng Yuxiang suddenly thought of something: "Can I also sign a contract with the Evil Dog Sculpture?"

The Evil Technique of the Evil Dog Clan is truly explosive!

Evil Sense, Evil Sensitivity.

And Instant Teleportation Technique like the Evil Shadow Flash!

It's unbelievably formidable!

Lu Ran shook his head: "When you were asleep, Lord Immortal Sheep and I discussed a lot.

The contract you will sign with the Night Charm Evil Sculpture in my mind is not a regular master-servant contract, but a higher-level contract."

"Oh?" Deng Yuxiang raised an eyebrow slightly.

In this world, contracts are divided into many types?

Lu Ran explained: "Lord Immortal Sheep clearly stated that your positioning is as an Inheritor, not a Servant.

This type of contract relationship allows you to gradually replace and even surpass the Night Charm.

From the moment you sign the contract, you and the Night Charm Evil Sculpture in my mind, in some sense, are already equivalent.

In other words, you and the other Evil Sculptures in the Sculpture Garden are equal entities.

In terms of identity, there is exclusivity among you."

Deng Yuxiang pondered: "In that case, can I still sign a contract with Lord Immortal Sheep?"

Lu Ran immediately nodded: "Lord Immortal Sheep is the True God in the mortal world, not these Fake Gods in my mind and in the Sculpture Garden.

Hmm... at least for now, they are still Fake Gods.

The contract Lord Immortal Sheep will soon sign with you is a conventional master-servant contract."

Deng Yuxiang nodded thoughtfully.

Lu Ran thought for a moment and then said: "Sis, the Inheritance Contract with the Night Charm Evil Sculpture is greatly beneficial to you.

Every moment you live is spent continuously resonating with the Night Charm Sculpture.

But if you really like Evil Sense and Evil Sensitivity, like Instant Teleportation, we can also switch to the Evil Dog Sculpture!"

Deng Yuxiang looked down at the Night Charm kneeling at her feet and softly said:

"No, let's go with her."

After speaking, Deng Yuxiang turned her head to look at Lu Ran, her gaze determined: "I like the wind more."

Do I really like the wind?

Perhaps.

Or maybe it's just a habit, it doesn't matter.

What matters is, you pulled me out of the abyss.

From now on,

wherever you want to take me, I'll go with you.
