Chapter 502: Chapter 502 Courting Death? No, I Am Merely Introducing Death to a Better Option
"Oh no!"
"We’re trapped!"
The cultivators immediately recognized it. Their faces became pale.
BOOM!
The formation finally descended. Ancient black light covered the city. The world seemed to lock itself shut. Space froze. Time slowed. Every escape route disappeared. Then came the chains.
CLANG!
CLANG!
CLANG!
Countless black chains erupted from the clouds. They descended like divine dragons. Some wrapped around mountains. Some pierced deep into the earth. Others locked themselves around the city walls.
The chains connected together and formed an inescapable prison. Teleportation techniques failed instantly. Spatial treasures became useless. Even communication talismans stopped functioning.
The entire city had become a cage. Not even a rat could escape. Gu Tianzun floated proudly at the center of the formation. His robes fluttered in the wind. A triumphant smile appeared on his face.
"Now..."
He slowly looked toward Su Wanwan.
"There will be no interruptions."
The greed in his eyes became even stronger. The pen and paper would soon belong to him. At least that was what he believed.
Far below, Su Wanwan simply tilted her head. She looked around at the city with growing concern. Although she was only a child, she could tell that something was terribly wrong.
The bright and cheerful Clear Moon City she had seen earlier was gone. The blue sky had disappeared. Dark clouds covered the heavens.
The giant black chains hanging in the air gave off an oppressive feeling that made even ordinary mortals shiver. The streets that had once been full of laughter and excitement had become silent.
Many people were trembling. Some children were crying while clinging tightly to their parents. Even the cultivators looked nervous. The atmosphere felt heavy and suffocating.
It was as if a giant invisible hand was squeezing everyone’s hearts. Su Wanwan did not know much about cultivation. She did not understand formations.
She did not know what a Divine Tribulation Realm expert was. But she knew one thing. Good people made others happy. Bad people made others scared. Right now, everyone looked scared.
Therefore, the floating evil man in the sky must be a bad person. Her little face became serious. She placed her tiny hands on her hips and glared up at Gu Tianzun.
"What did you do, evil man?" Her childish voice echoed throughout the silent city. Everyone immediately turned toward her.
"Make the sky bright again!" She pointed her finger directly at him. The gesture would have looked adorable if not for the fact that she was threatening one of the most terrifying cultivators in existence.
"Or else Wanwan will punch you again!" The little girl waved her tiny fist. Many cultivators below nearly stopped breathing.
The memory of Gu Tianzun being blasted into the ground was still fresh in their minds. Others might think the little girl was making an empty threat. They knew better. That tiny fist was terrifying.
"Wanwan hopes that you can become good again." Su Wanwan continued earnestly.
"Mentor Lin Feng said that doing bad things is wrong." She nodded confidently.
"If you stop being bad, everyone can still be friends."
The citizens of Clear Moon City looked at each other. Some almost wanted to cry. Such pure words. Such innocent logic.
Unfortunately, the person she was speaking to was an ancient monster who had lived for millions of years. Gu Tianzun listened silently. The corners of his mouth twitched. Become good? Friends?
The old monster had long forgotten such concepts. To him, strength was everything.
Power was everything. The weak existed to serve the strong. That was the law he had followed throughout countless ages. However, he did not immediately become angry.
His greed had completely overwhelmed his pride. The mysterious treasures around the little girl occupied every thought in his mind. He forced himself to smile.
Unfortunately, his smile looked more frightening than a demon’s.
"Little girl." His voice became unusually gentle. Anyone who knew Gu Tianzun would have fainted from shock. A supreme expert was actually lowering himself to negotiate with a child.
"That is very easy to fix." He spread his hands.
"Give me the pen and mythical paper around you." His gaze never left the treasures. The desire in his eyes became stronger with every second.
"If you give them to me, I will immediately remove the formation." He pointed toward the dark sky.
"The clouds will disappear."
"The chains will disappear."
"The city will return to normal."
His voice became increasingly persuasive.
"I will not harm anyone."
"I will leave this place."
"I will never return."
"I promise."
The cultivators below nearly rolled their eyes. Promise? A promise from a greedy old monster who had just imprisoned an entire city? Even fools would not believe such nonsense.
Yet Su Wanwan did not immediately reject him. Instead, she blinked in confusion.
"Pen and paper?" She tilted her head.
"Do you mean my drawing materials?"
Gu Tianzun’s eyes immediately brightened.
"Yes!" His answer came far too quickly. "I mean those."
"Oh." Su Wanwan nodded. Then she reached into her storage ring. A flash of light appeared.
"Ding!" The pen and paper appeared in her tiny hands. The moment they emerged, countless gazes focused upon them. The entire city became silent. Everyone stared.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
The expressions on their faces gradually became strange. Because there was absolutely nothing special about them. The pen looked ordinary. The paper looked ordinary. There were no divine runes.
No heavenly light. No overwhelming aura. No signs whatsoever that they were supreme treasures. Some people even wondered if Gu Tianzun had finally gone insane after being punched.
Those things looked like common stationery. However, Gu Tianzun nearly started drooling. His eyes widened. His breathing became rough. His heart pounded violently. Others saw a simple pen.
He saw something completely different. He saw an object capable of writing destiny itself. Every movement of the pen caused reality to tremble.
Every rotation of its body seemed capable of altering the laws of heaven and earth. As for the paper... The paper was even more terrifying. Its blank surface appeared empty.
Yet Gu Tianzun could see countless worlds hidden within it. Universes. Dimensions. Timelines. Infinite possibilities. All contained within that seemingly ordinary sheet.
His soul trembled. His greed exploded. The desire to possess those treasures became so overwhelming that his hands began shaking.
"Yes..."
