That's right, this is the tactic that the sovereign used against the demon lord in the past.
After all, this tactic is safe and effective, and the power of the spirit of the demon lord is indeed remarkable, at least much stronger than those heaven's chosen level sequence one from before!
If it fails...
Well, anyway, it's not me who's going to die, right? Plus, the spirit of the demon lord can help me probe into the opponent's background, how great is that?
The sovereign's plan was ringing in his mind, while the spirit of the demon lord maintained a respectful demeanor and asked,
"So now... what would you like to do, my lord?"
The spirit of the demon lord was testing the waters, wanting to know how the sovereign planned to respond to this matter, and the sovereign looked at him, chuckling lightly, with a warm smile on his face.
"Oh, spirit of the demon lord, you are the world will of Lirada, which is equivalent to my mother. You should know that we are on the same side."
"Hehe..."
The spirit of the demon lord thought to himself, smiling broadly on the outside, hastily nodding in agreement before saying,
"My lord, you flatter me. Whatever you need me to do, just say the word, and I will definitely go all out for you."
The sovereign remained silent for a moment before speaking.
"I need you to go to the Earth's core origin and help me retrieve that half piece of the Heavenly Gifted Stone."
"As long as you retrieve the Heavenly Gifted Stone, I will grant the Earth to Lirada, and it will be a win-win!"
"Yes, my lord, that does sound like a win-win."
The spirit of the demon lord said, then asked,
"What about the details? What exactly do I need to do?"
"Just like the original plan against the demon lord, find the owner of the Heavenly Gifted Stone and kill him. It's that simple."
Simple, huh?
Not simple at all...
The owner of the Heavenly Gifted Stone is a solid level twelve, not the kind of weakling like the demon lord. The spirit of the demon lord could tell with his mind that the sovereign was treating him like cannon fodder...
However.
This kid is definitely unaware that I have already undergone a transformation!
The current owner of the Heavenly Gifted Stone on Earth is my big boss!
I’m not playing along with you anymore!
At that moment, the spirit of the demon lord cursed wildly in his heart, but on the surface, he remained calm. After a moment, he suddenly looked up at the sovereign and said with a light laugh,
"Alright!"
"Then let's go. By the way, bring Wen Yu along; I will be watching you from here."
The sovereign nodded with a smile, clearly pleased with the spirit of the demon lord's understanding, but it was obvious that the sovereign was slightly too early in his happiness...
"Actually, my lord, since we’re talking about Wen Yu, um, I have a bit of a problem here."
"What problem?"
"I don’t want to cooperate with Wen Yu..."
As soon as the spirit of the demon lord's words fell, the sovereign immediately frowned.
After all, Wen Yu is currently the best candidate to restrain the spirit of the demon lord...
He remained silent until the spirit of the demon lord spoke again.
"In fact, I would like to request your highness to agree to one thing for me."
A bad premonition suddenly arose in the sovereign's heart, and he frowned, speaking,
"What is it?"
"I want you to help me kill Wen Yu."
"That’s impossible!"
The sovereign immediately rejected, his eyes sharpening at the spirit of the demon lord, a cold light flashing in them—at this moment, the value of the spirit of the demon lord's avatar was becoming apparent...
The spirit of the demon lord showed no signs of fear, standing tall and smiling at the sovereign as he said,
"You either kill him, or we part ways! This time, there's no room for negotiation!"
The sovereign was nearly amused with anger, staring deadpan at the spirit of the demon lord, threateningly saying,
"Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you?"
"Then let me rephrase, you either kill him, or kill me!"
The spirit of the demon lord spoke with a resolute tone, completely disregarding the sovereign's threat...
