Sui Xiong temporarily solved the problem of Cambrona and Jane, and then he turned to Tu Ya’an. Sui Xiong said, “Necromancer, what do you want to do? I don’t understand.”
In the face of the famous Void Mask, Tu Ya’an didn’t dare to conceal his thoughts. He explained his plan in detail to Sui Xiong.
“I see,” Sui Xiong said. Sui Xiong carefully thought about it. If Tu Ya’an’s plan was successful, it wouldn’t cause any harm to Jane. Therefore, Sui Xiong didn’t care about what he had done although he had taken advantage of Jane’s bad situation. “Now your plan has failed. What are you going to do in the future?” Sui Xiong asked.
“Make money first,” Tu Ya’an said after pausing for a moment. “Thanks to you, I have calmed down. The plan to seize divinity has ended, and frustration can’t solve the problem. I should come down to earth and go back to my own life. I had already thought of that, but I was just defeated by complete failure. I was in chaos. The future is still very long. I can still step into the demigod realm by relying on my own strength.”
Sui Xiong said, nodding, “It is good that you can think in that way. Relying on the divinity of a god as the seed, you can certainly step into the demigod realm. However, it will also limit your path. It seems that you are not a person who can go on the road of Shadow or the road of Assassination. So this failure is also a good thing for you.”
Tu Ya’an showed a bitter smile. Was it really a good thing? The meaning of the Void Mask was obviously about becoming a god. However, he was only in the Legendary Realm. He was not a demigod, so it was still too far away to become a god.
Moreover, what he was pursuing was only immortality. It was enough for him to just become a demigod. A true god was certainly better than a demigod. However, he was just like a baby. He still couldn’t walk, why did he need to bother running and jumping? Therefore, he really couldn’t nod to show his approval. He could only show a bitter smile.
Sui Xiong was not angry about that. Instead, Sui Xiong thought that this person was pragmatic. He didn’t want to reach for what was beyond his grasp. After thinking for a while, Sui Xiong said, “If you are interested, you may come to Void City.”
Tu Ya’an was stunned. He asked, “Your Majesty, if you have any instruction, you can tell me now. I will try my best to do it.”
Sui Xiong said, smiling, “You think too much. I just think that you are very interesting and that you are a diamond in the rough. You should know that my place is not like the Mifata Federation. We are short on spellcasters, especially talented mages. If you are willing to join my church, you can gain good pay.”
Tu Ya’an couldn’t help but smile bitterly again. Do I deserve such good pay? How can I make the Void Mask, the famous and powerful god among the gods, come to invite me personally?
“I am deeply moved by your kindness, but I am a believer of my great tutor. I am not going to change my faith,” Tu Ya’an said. He hesitated for a moment, and then he refused.
The routine that “I’m deeply moved and then I’ll reject your confession” made Sui Xiong feel bad. However, Sui Xiong knew that he couldn’t force others to change their faith. If others didn’t agree with his idea, then it would be useless to force them.
However, it also made Sui Xiong think more highly of Tu Ya’an. Tu Ya’an was a person who could refuse the invitation of such a powerful god. Anyway, at least in terms of loyalty and braveness, Tu Ya’an deserved praise.
Therefore, after thinking for a while, Sui Xiong said, “So, let’s not talk about faith, let’s talk about work. Are you interested in working in Void City? To be honest, I really need a high-end spellcaster like you.”
Sui Xiong paused for a moment. Before Tu Ya’an answered, Sui Xiong said again, “Don’t hurry to refuse me. Hear the reward first, okay?”
Tu Ya’an, who had intended to refuse, closed his mouth and looked at Sui Xiong with some doubts.
He saw that Sui Xiong was looking at his sister, smiling.
A sudden inspiration flashed in his heart like a lightning bolt, bursting like thunder in his heart. His heart was shaken, and his mouth was dry. He was so nervous that he was almost speechless.
He almost guessed the “reward” that the Void Mask was going to give him.
“The situation of your sister is a bit bad,” Sui Xiong said. “Her body is actually dead. You use spells to inject vitality into her body forcibly and force her soul to be fixed in her body. Only relying on that can she maintain the appearance of a living person. But in fact, she consumes a lot of vitality. More importantly, this body also has many inconveniences. If my guess is right, something is wrong with her sense of taste, smell, and touch. These problems don’t appear from the beginning. Her senses are slowly lost in a period of time. If this continues, she will lose her sense of hearing and vision in the future.”
Tu Ya’an naturally knew that. The lifespan of a half-dead person was longer than that of an ordinary person, but the length was also limited. The reason why his sister could live to this day was that he had spent countless magic power and materials. However, even so, her soul was still going bad. The integrating degree of the soul and the flesh was gradually decreasing. When it declined to a certain extent, her soul could no longer give the flesh ample vitality. Therefore, her perception would decrease significantly, and her senses would gradually disappear.
When she lost both her sense of hearing and vision, he could only manage to transfer his sister’s soul to a monster statue, so that his sister could survive in the state of a monster statue.
However, her soul would continue to go bad. Sooner or later, it would deteriorate to the point where she couldn’t be saved at all.
On that day, Tu Ya’an would be helpless. He could only die with his sister.
However, could it be that the Void Mask had a solution?
Well, he must have a solution! He is a great god who is the best one of the great Divine Powers, Tu Ya’an thought.
“I’m not talented, but I’m good at treating such illness,” Sui Xiong said with a smile. “I can give you a few therapeutic plans for you to choose from. The price is…”
