Chapter 1395 - Successor (2/2)

Marbruce sighed and deactivated the remote projection. Gaud watched the entire process of Black Star negotiating with the dynasty, and his expression kept changing. Initially, he had a one-in-a-million hope that the dynasty would stand up for him and vent their anger on Black Star. However, the way the dynasty held back in front of Black Star completely shattered his fantasy and his desire for revenge. Not one of the three Universal Civilizations dared to provoke Black Star. Just what position had this guy climbed to in the past few decades? With my current state, touching Black Star’s bad luck again would be like throwing an egg at a rock.

Gaud lamented in his heart. It was as if his bones had been sucked out.

However, he had another question. He turned to Teny and whispered, “You guys just said that Black Star turned EsGod into a hired fighter. What’s going on? Isn’t that EsGod dead?” Teny looked at him with a complicated expression.

Although he did not believe Black Star saying that Gaud was EsGod, he could not help but be wary.

Teny thought for a moment before answering. “You’ve been locked up for decades, so you might not understand. Black Star has subdued a pair of sisters, and the Esper Abilities of these sisters are the same as the two sisters in history. They have also opened up the Underworld Dimension, and they can transform the souls into undying Hero Spirits and make them serve as their subordinates. Although EsGod was killed, his soul was thrown into the Underworld and it became their combat strength. There should be more than ten Beyond Grade A spirits in there now.” Gaud’s eyes widened.

In the Underworld Dimension. EsGod slowly opened his eyes, and a boundless black land appeared before him. “Am I dead…” EsGod looked down and saw that his body had turned into a semi-transparent spirit body. The scene before his death appeared once again. The overwhelming saber light had killed all the life force in his cells in one blow, causing him to tremble from the depths of his soul. He could not help but reminisce. However, it did not take long for him to realize that something was wrong. His soul was only a candle in the wind, but it showed no signs of dissipating. Instead, it was becoming more and more solid.

Swoosh!

At this moment, a few rays of light flashed, and Han Xiao and the others teleported to the surroundings with the King and arrived in front of EsGod.

“What did you do to me?”

EsGod frowned.

“Don’t worry, it’s a good thing for you. Did you think I would really kill you?” Han Xiao chuckled.

“…What are you going to do?” “Don’t worry, this is a good thing for you. This is the Underworld, and it can stabilize souls. It…”

Before Han Xiao could finish, EsGod interrupted him with his eyes wide open. “The legendary Underworld ” “Oh? You know?” Han Xiao paused and raised his brows.

“Of course I know.”

EsGod nodded. As a collector of Super High-Risk Esper Abilities, he had collected information about all the Beyond Grade A Espers in history. As for the two sisters, they were naturally the focus of attention, so he had seen all the records of the Underworld. “That makes things easier. It saved me the trouble of explaining.” Han Xiao smiled. “The life and death Esper Abilities of this generation have owners. They repaired the Underworld and restored its effects. You’re already a soul now. Are you willing to accept the Underworld transformation and become an undying Hero Spirit?” Hesitation flashed through EsGod’s eyes. If he could live, he did not want to die. However, joining the Underworld meant losing his freedom, and he would probably never be able to free himself. Seeing this, Han Xiao smiled and said, “I know what you’re worried about. Actually, this isn’t a bad thing. You should know your own lifespan better than I. You don’t have much longer to live anyway. As long as you give up a portion of your freedom, you can live forever in the Underworld. Furthermore, your physical form has changed, so you don’t have to worry about the genetic chain anymore. You will only be stronger than when you were alive. So, why

not?”

EsGod’s eyes sparkled, and he suddenly said with a deep voice, “Black Star, we’ve known each other for many years. Although you’ve reached a higher level first, my goal has not changed. If I join the Underworld, I won’t have the chance to advance any further.” “You didn’t have a chance in the first place. Even if I didn’t kill you, it’s impossible for you to advance. You don’t have to doubt my judgment. As someone who’s experienced, I know better than you what it takes to advance.”

Han Xiao shook his head.

This was not a lie. EsGod’s genetic chain was too overloaded, and his life form would become even more unstable during his Promotion. Furthermore, with his terrible popularity, no peak Beyond Grade A would be willing to help him with his Promotion. Seeing EsGod remain silent, Han Xiao thought for a while and smiled. “But you don’t have to be discouraged. Your dream can be fulfilled by your successor.”

“Successor?” EsGod was confused. Han Xiao beckoned for Evans to come over. “This guy’s name is Evans. He inherited your ability and can steal other people’s Esper Abilities. Can’t he inherit your will and help you see a higher scenery?” “The same ability as mine ?” EsGod was shocked and looked at Evans carefully. Evans also showed his abilities, proving that Han Xiao was not lying. Seeing this, EsGod was even more shocked. “Are you… my illegitimate son ” Evans’ face darkened, but he did not say anything. Han Xiao smiled and said, “How would I know?”

“Let me think…”

EsGod frowned as he recalled.

When he was wreaking havoc in the galaxy, he had naturally vented his desires on females of different species, but they were all left to fend for themselves after mating. He did not know if he had any offspring. The more EsGod thought about it, the more he felt like he had lost a portion of his memories.

At this time, Han Xiao said, “There’s no need to be so conflicted. The probability of having the same Esper Ability is much rarer than having a child, not to mention an extremely rare ability like yours. With my nurturing, Evans did not take the wrong path. Although he has fewer abilities now, his talent is not inferior to yours. Why don’t you nurture him and let him fulfill your wish?”

EsGod was silent for a while before suddenly laughing and jokingly saying, “To put it bluntly, you just want to trick me into helping you train your combat strength and work for you.”

Han Xiao said without hesitation, “Evans has too little combat experience, so he doesn’t know how to coordinate his various abilities. This is your strength, so I’ll have to trouble you to guide him.” “…I haven’t agreed yet.”

“You have a choice?” Han Xiao raised his brows.

“Heh, that’s what I admire about you the most.”

EsGod laughed for some reason, looked at Evans, nodded, and slowly said, “Life is really unpredictable. This is the first time I’m teaching someone… Alright, I’ll teach you how to use this ability to fight. I only have one request… If one day you can reach a higher level, help me beat Black Star up.”

“Wow, so scary.” Han Xiao clicked his tongue.

Evans looked at Han Xiao, then at EsGod. Seeing both of them staring at him, he finally nodded hesitantly. Seeing this, EsGod opened his arms with a calm expression. “Come, turn me into a Hero Spirit. Let this world see what I look like without any mental load!”
