Chapter 80 The Devil Lord's First Temptation

The soldier looked around, smiled and said:

"No one comes to bother us now."

Chu Cheng looked around, feeling a little panicked.

At this moment, he had already guessed why he was targeted by the Abyss Demon. As expected, it was because of the Void Mark on his body.

Void Mark (Chaos): A mark left by evil void creatures, containing magical powers.

Attributes/Passive: Attacks inflict shadow damage equal to Intelligence*1.

Negative status: Enemy of justice, follower of evil.

Enemy of Justice: You are always so untrustworthy in the justice camp, and the initial reputation of the justice camp is cold.

Evil Followers: You gain the favor of higher-level evil beings, making it easier for you to gain the trust of the evil camp. The initial reputation of the evil camp is friendly, and the loyalty check value of evil creatures is reduced by 50%.

This thing makes it easier for him to gain the trust of the evil camp and obtain initial friendly reputation in any evil camp.

To put it bluntly, at this moment he was a natural bad guy in the evil camp.

Fortunately, when he obtained this thing, he had already earned a revered reputation in the joint examination copy. If he had just entered with an initial reputation of cold, he would have to use special methods to raise his reputation to neutral before he could start to gain reputation, which was very troublesome.

But even though this trouble can be avoided this time, you will still have to face it next time you enter other copies.

"We must find a way to purify this mark as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too troublesome."

As for now, he saw that the Abyss Demon did not seem to have any ill intentions, so he felt relieved for the time being and said:
"What do you find me for?"

The projection of the Abyss Demon named Imotar smiled and replied:

"Nothing happened, I just happened to see a soul that yearns for freedom in this realm, and I was curious and wanted to meet him."

Chu Cheng looked doubtful:
"Really?"

"of course it's true."

Imotar opened his hands and said seriously:

"I'm not here for you, so what ill intentions could I have?"

Chu Cheng was silent.

This is true. This Abyss Demon was not summoned by himself, but by Sun Yu.

Then Imothar spoke again:
"Of course, if you want to trade with me, I am also very welcome. While I can still stay for a while, as long as you can pay enough, I can fulfill any of your wishes."

Chu Cheng pursed his lips and remained silent for a while.

Imotar looked at him with a smile on his face, and when he still didn't speak after a while, he asked:
"Let me guess, is it that your wish conflicts with the wish of my summoner?"

Chu Cheng was slightly surprised, and looked up to see Imotar's confident smile:

"Don't doubt the power of a great devil. We are experts in manipulating minds. Your thoughts cannot escape my eyes."

"You are honest!"

"Of course, we are the devil, not those bugs next door."

Chu Cheng
This so-called bug next door is a demon, the devil's nemesis.

"Then you can tell me your wish. As long as you are willing to pay a higher price, I will help you realize your wish."

"May I ask first what the price is that your summoner asked you to take action?"

Imotar pondered for two seconds and shook his head:

"I can't reveal my employer's secrets."

But the next second he changed the subject and said with a smile:

"But our contract does not state that leaks are not allowed."

"He hired me to help him. The price I have to pay each time is 1 unit of Realm Origin."

"If you want to hire me to do something, in this plane, each action only requires 1 unit of the origin of the realm. If your wish conflicts with my employer's wish, you need to pay extra origin of the realm in exchange for my action." "Uh, I don't have any origin of the realm."

"It doesn't matter, you can use other things as a substitute, such as your soul!"

Imotar smiled slightly, his eyes fell on him, slowly emitting some inexplicable light, and looked him up and down.

The more I looked at Him, the more joy I saw in His eyes. After a while, He withdrew his gaze and said:

"Your soul is very valuable, worth 126 units of the origin of the realm. As long as you sign a fair contract, you can use these 126 units of the origin of the realm to strengthen yourself. You can gain powerful strength, powerful magic weapons and equipment, and various powerful props. Or you can ask me to help you. I am willing to use my real body for you."

Imotar waved his hand, and a curtain of light popped up in front of Chu Cheng.

The three names emitting orange light that came into his sight made his eyes dazzled.

"Legendary equipment!"

He looked again and saw that the three orange items were called [Ring of Almighty], [Blade of Doomguard], and a legendary gem called [Eye of Insight].

But unfortunately, you can only see the name, not the attributes.

Seeing his expression, Imotar was very satisfied and said with a smile:
"You don't need to worry about your life. I won't appear in front of you until these 126 units of the origin of the realm are used up."

"hiss!"

At this moment, Chu Cheng understood why so many people were easily tempted by the devil even though they all knew that making a deal with the devil would lead to a bad ending.

This wave of conditions would be hard for any normal person to resist, let alone those who are in desperate situations and have no other options left.

The conditions are both generous and relaxed, and there are even loopholes that seem to be able to cause BUGs.

Theoretically, as long as the value of the soul is not used up, the soul will not be taken away by the devil and you can live to death.

If you can be promoted to a legend, you can live for hundreds of years without any problem. If you are a legendary wizard, you can live for thousands of years without any problem.

Or if you find Imortar's true form and kill him before you die, the contract will automatically become invalid, and you won't have to pay back all the free benefits.

But theory is only theory because it is difficult to implement in practice.

The former is fine. No matter how many years you live, the devil will not care about you. No matter how long you live, you can never live longer than a devil lord. Theoretically, there is no limit to their lifespan, and normal people cannot survive them.

The latter is even more difficult. Not to mention whether you can find the true body of the devil lord, even if you do find it, you will find it difficult to do anything about it.

To become a devil lord, one must be at least legendary. The lord has a huge power bonus in his own territory, comparable to gods and demons. If you want to kill his true body in his territory, you must at least be promoted to the first level of gods and demons.

If you really have this ability, the contract itself will not be a problem.

The God and Demon level.
Let’s put it this way, it is difficult for a normal person who awakens a body of digitized laws to become extraordinary in this life, let alone a higher level legend, then a demigod, a god or a demon. In between, they have to cross several chasms.

Even among a million adventers, it is not certain that a legendary strongman will be born.

Ninety-nine percent of legendary powerhouses stop at this level and find it difficult to cross over to the next level.

At the god and demon level, the probability is so low that it can be ignored.

However, this refers to normal people.

Of course, normal people wanting to ascend to the rank of gods and demons can be ignored.

But he is different. With the golden finger in hand, Chu Cheng has high expectations for his future. It is entirely possible for him to reach the last step and be promoted to a legendary god or demon.

In other words, if he can reach that step, this contract will have no binding force on him, which is equivalent to getting so many benefits for free. The value in the early stage can be said to be immeasurable.

Chu Cheng bit his lip, feeling a little moved.

However, although he was moved, he still had some caution in his heart so he did not agree immediately. Instead, he said:

"I need to think about it."

Imothar smiled slightly:
"Of course, I have memorized your soul. As long as you call my name anywhere in this realm, I will appear in front of you immediately."

After saying this, his figure slowly faded and disappeared. A burst of noise was heard, and the pedestrians and voices that had just disappeared reappeared.
