I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

Chapter 4241: Chapter 987: Destiny

Gotcha!

It must be said, using the Name Ancestor’s identity to fish is a trick that never fails. The more I use it, the more I find it ingenious.

Even Xu Xiaoshou was impressed by his own wit, especially after fooling the Medicine Ancestor, he felt more confident to "turn around and leave."

And the more daring he was, the less the Demon Ancestor dared to let this "Name Ancestor" go collude with the Divine Farmer Hundred Grass.

After all, if the Name and Medicine conspire together, there’s only the Holy Demon left to plot.

I dare to act!

You have no choice but to play along!

Because anyone can take a gamble, but you, Demon Ancestor, cannot afford to!

"The time of this ancestor, is already running out..."

The Name Ancestor was apparently persuaded, or rather had no choice but to be persuaded, after all, He had been forcibly detained in the Origin Maternal Coffin:

"Before this Body of Consciousness of my descendant dissipates, you will have a chance."

"Of course, if time is up and I still don’t see any value in you above the Divine Farmer Hundred Grass, this will be our last meeting."

The Name Ancestor’s words were utterly indifferent, "Between you and the Divine Farmer Hundred Grass, this ancestor will choose only one."

And the one not chosen?

Quite obviously, only worthy to become a sacrifice for the new Heavenly Realm, only fit to be a stepping stone on the other’s path to the summit!

Even the Demon Ancestor couldn’t help but feel a bit of urgency in his heart.

But He managed to control himself well and did not show these emotions; instead, he asked lightly:

"What has the Divine Farmer Hundred Grass promised you?"

The Name Ancestor’s power was still diminishing, but its speed slowed considerably, which was obviously a gesture of giving a chance.

Upon hearing this, He chuckled and shook his head, showing an expression as if to sizzle "stupidly stubborn," but his attitude improved a lot, and he said lightly:

"Paths are countless, loyalty comes first."

"Even if my alliance with the Divine Farmer Hundred Grass is merely verbal, I won’t leak a word to others."

"In other words, does the Demon Ancestor hope that once I leave the Origin Maternal Coffin, I will immediately inform the Divine Farmer Hundred Grass of what happened here?"

Such meticulous words indeed left the other speechless.

But from these few words, the Demon Ancestor gleaned quite a bit of useful information:

Firstly, Xu Xiaoshou was indeed just a pawn about to be discarded, while the Medicine Ancestor’s partner was the Name Ancestor behind him.

Secondly, the alliance between the two was only verbal; if he could offer greater benefits, he could indeed take his place.

Thirdly, since the Name Ancestor values loyalty, after collaborating with the Medicine Ancestor, he wouldn’t normally discuss cooperation with Him, yet still gave this opportunity, which means... He is contradictory?

No!

This only shows that in His eyes, the pressure from this so-called "Great Calamity" is greater, forcing Him to seek even a superior ally—He desires the best, for this, He won’t hesitate to betray faith!

If not, under the equal force of Demon Medicine, He only needs to assist one to achieve the Path, while the other can be ignored.

Thus, my "forcible retention" just now was very necessary.

Others might use it to play hard to get, but the Name Ancestor truly disdained the Holy and Demon Power, because the Medicine Ancestor returning to zero, mastering the Twin Rivers of the Great Dao, from the surface, indeed wasn’t any weaker than Him.

But this is only on the surface!

The Demon Ancestor knew He had many trumps, unafraid, and naturally wouldn’t be completely subdued by the Name Ancestor.

He couldn’t reveal everything at once, so His heart still hadn’t died; He just changed his way to subtly ask:

"If my guess is correct, the Name Ancestor, having a verbal alliance with the Medicine Ancestor, still let the descendant Xu Xiaoshou collude with Dao Qiongcang, intending to plot against the Divine Farmer Hundred Grass’s life, Reincarnation Path..."

"This is one of His thoughts, isn’t it—at the last moment, the Name Ancestor makes Xu Xiaoshou betray, helping Him seize Memory Path, Cursed Yin Technique, or Nian Path, allowing Him to at least master the Three Rivers of the Great Dao?"

The Demon Ancestor’s eyes flickered, constantly watching for the Name Ancestor’s reaction to his words, which showed he was also quite wary of this move of pulling the rug out from under.

Aside from the Phantom Swords Technique and Nian Path.

The Demon Ancestor truly didn’t know if the Name Ancestor had seen through the existence of the Dao Ancestor earlier.

If so, it wasn’t until now that He saw Xu Xiaoshou on the surface allied with Dao Qiongcang, but secretly always wanted to use the Medicine Ancestor’s hand to kill Dao Qiongcang.

And with the Name Ancestor overseeing from behind, even if Dao Qiongcang inherited the legacy of Dao Ancestor Yi Ji, could he transcend in the end?

He probably would be backstabbed!

If even the Dao Ancestor is like this, the weaker Phantom Swords Technique and Nian Path, wouldn’t the Medicine Ancestor dare not plot more because of this?

Hiss... on hearing the Demon Ancestor’s words, Xu Xiaoshou actually drew a sharp breath in his heart.

Needless to say, he truly forgot about the Xu Dao Alliance, once the Divine Secrets Array at Cross Corner Street was withdrawn, it became visible to the Demon Ancestor.

Luckily, the Demon Ancestor’s self-supplementing logic was quite reasonable, making the Name Ancestor’s capabilities seem more mysterious and unpredictable.

This also fits with Xu Xiaoshou having been pursued by Dao Qiongcang to Qingyuan Mountain, nearly killed, and holding a grudge.

Xu Xiaoshou is meticulous.

Xu Xiaoshou has a petty heart.

Xu Xiaoshou indeed very much wants Dao Qiongcang dead, preferably with the Memory Path completely taken away by others, helping the Name Ancestor to push out a stronger support.

"Hmph!"

The Name Ancestor just gave a cold snort, without commenting.

Clearly, He found the Demon Ancestor wanting something yet giving nothing in return, still hoping to unjustifiably extract answers and benefits from Him, to be utterly distasteful.

But this snort.

This feigned loyalty.

This half-affirmative attitude of turning a blind eye.

In essence, showed an attitude, which is the Demon Ancestor guessed right.
