The little sprite in the system stared wide-eyed at Shen Lang and Zhao Wuji, one old and one young, as they worked in tandem to fool the already numb Meng Xiaobai.

She never imagined that Zhao Wuji, who had once attained the throne, would now be colluding with her master to swindle and deceive.

The little elf seemed to have seen Shen Lang and Zhao Wuji, and gradually embarked on a shameless path.

Upon hearing Zhao Wuji's words, Meng Xiaobai lowered his head in shame and said, "Thank you for informing me, senior."

He then said to Shen Lang, "Please give me another chance, Young Master Shen. I will definitely repay you handsomely in the future."

Shen Lang thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, I'll give you another chance. But you have to promise to do three things for me."

Upon hearing this, Meng Xiaobai immediately wanted to retort.

But Shen Lang interrupted him: "As for what these three things are, I haven't thought about them yet. But don't worry, they will definitely not violate morality, nor will they make you violate ancestral precepts."

After speaking, Shen Lang handed the contract with added conditions to Meng Xiaobai.

Meng Xiaobai hesitated for only three seconds before pressing his fingerprint on his name.

The moment the transaction was completed, Meng Xiaobai felt as if something was missing from his body, like shackles binding him.

Shen Lang looked at the item in the system inventory named 'Sealed Chaos Holy Body' and nodded in satisfaction.

He then said to Meng Xiaobai, "Alright, Young Master Meng, this matter is settled, you may leave now."

Although Meng Xiaobai had not yet learned martial arts, he could clearly feel the changes within his body.

He nodded excitedly at Shen Lang: "Young Master Shen, I am deeply grateful. If you ever need my help in the future, I, Meng Xiaobai, will do my utmost to assist you."

Shen Lang waved his hand, a gentle smile on his face: "Go, but remember, never mention today's events to anyone. Otherwise, the consequences will be something your Meng family can't afford."

Upon hearing this, Meng Xiaobai nodded solemnly. What he had experienced in the pavilion today was something he could never have dreamed of. He naturally knew what he should and shouldn't say, what he should and shouldn't do.

He then turned and left.

Shuang'er also left the pavilion at Shen Lang's signal.

At this moment, only Shen Lang and Zhao Wuji remained in the pavilion.

Shen Lang gave Zhao Wuji an approving look and said, "Old Zhao, you're pretty good!"

Zhao Wuji waved his hand and laughed, "It's nothing, nothing!"

Shen Lang watched Meng Xiaobai's departing figure and laughed, "Old Zhao, do you know who he is?"

Zhao Wuji shook his head suspiciously and remained silent.

“He is the one who bears the mandate of heaven, and meeting you is also a preordained arrangement.” Shen Lang said, “In fact, even without my appearance, he would have found a way to open his meridians in the future and then soar to the sky.”

"Then, with your assistance, they will overcome all obstacles and become the new overlord."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji's expression suddenly turned serious.

Those who have reached the level of an emperor naturally know the meaning of bearing the mandate of heaven.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Meng Xiaobai will surely become a giant in the industry in the future.

He was unsure whether leaving Meng Xiaobai was the right or wrong decision.

Shen Lang looked at Zhao Wuji, who was deep in thought, and naturally knew what he was thinking. Then he smiled and said, "Old Zhao, don't hesitate anymore, because from the moment you appeared, I have been your only choice."

Then, Shen Lang changed the subject and said in a domineering tone, "If you choose Meng Xiaobai today, I will kill him and leave you with no other choice."

"Whether it's you or Meng Xiaobai's sealed Chaos Holy Body, you can only belong to me, Shen Lang."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji was not angry. Instead, he nodded and looked at Shen Lang approvingly, saying in a firm tone, "You did the right thing."

“Cultivation is about competing with fellow practitioners and fighting against heaven and earth. Meng Xiaobai is too indecisive. Even if he is destined to be a god, he may still perish because of his temperament.”

Bearing the Mandate of Heaven? Don't you see how many Mandates of Heaven have died at Zhao Wuji's hands on the Emperor's Road?

Zhao Wuji was once a powerful figure at the Great Emperor level. He had seen and experienced Meng Xiaobai's path to ruin.

That kind of ascetic practice was really too painful.

Without a powerful force to back you up with resources, you have to fight and rob.

Helping Meng Xiaobai might be a rewarding experience.

But that road is definitely not easy to travel.

Now that he has Shen Lang as a better option, what more could he ask for?

Then Shen Lang looked at Zhao Wuji with a sly grin and said, "Old Zhao, do you want to start anew? I can empower you with the Chaos Holy Body."

Zhao Wuji immediately screamed, "What did you say? You can let me start over?"

Shen Lang rolled his eyes at him disdainfully and said, "Don't make such a fuss. Is this the same Emperor who used to be? Doesn't he have any dignity as an Emperor, Lao Zhao?"

Zhao Wuji nodded hurriedly and said excitedly, "I think so, I definitely think so. If I could be reborn as a human, and with the blessing of the Chaos Holy Body, I would surely rise to the top and surpass my previous life's realm."

“Yes, and you can also personally kill those who betrayed you.” Shen Lang added fuel to the fire.

"Can you help me?" Zhao Wuji looked at Shen Lang excitedly.

Shen Lang nodded: "Of course."

"However, you know there's no such thing as a free lunch!"

"I can give you anything you want. As long as I can be reborn, and that I can personally kill that bastard and that scumbag." Zhao Wuji said the last part of the sentence through gritted teeth.

Chu Lanfeng was once his best brother. He had protected him many times on the road to the Emperor. If it weren't for Zhao Wuji's help, Chu Lanfeng would have died on the road to the Emperor long ago.

Biyao Fairy was his childhood sweetheart, and the two were always regarded as a divine couple by the people of Xuantian Realm. He had spared no effort in helping Biyao Fairy, enabling her to reach the Pseudo-Emperor realm with mediocre talent.

With his help, Fairy Biyao's family also became an immortal family.

But these two people who once gave their lives betrayed him at the crucial moment of his breakthrough.

When he was fighting two emperors alone, they even kissed each other right in front of him, which caused him to lose his composure.

Otherwise, he would definitely drag those two emperors down with him.

Now I am nothing more than a prisoner trapped in the Ghost Ring.

He originally intended to use Meng Xiaobai to embark on a path of revenge.

Now, Shen Lang has actually offered to give him a chance to be reborn, along with the blessing of the Chaos Holy Body.

Even if you give up everything you have, that's all you'll get.

From a great emperor revered and worshipped by hundreds of millions, he became a prisoner.

He has nothing left to lose.

Having lived for thousands of years, he naturally knows how to choose.

Subsequent events proved how correct and wise his choice was.
