I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

Chapter 3796: Chapter 1833: Shut the Door (Part 3)

"These words are spoken lightly, yet arrogantly."

Bazhun’an didn’t mind, pondered for a moment, looked at Mei Siren, and finally repeated the same phrase:

"Let’s wait and see."

...

"What exactly is this three-choice decision that needs to be discussed behind closed doors?"

Xu Xiaoshou could naturally perceive that the scene here, Kong Yuhen could also see.

He was well aware of the consequences of closing the door.

Ultimately, even if he didn’t make a deal with the Demon Ancestor, in the eyes of outsiders, something had already happened between them.

But just as Xu Xiaoshou trusted Bazhun’an.

He also firmly believed that Bazhun’an, having watched him come this far, wouldn’t easily give up on him after encountering the Demon Ancestor.

Trust is mutual.

The Demon Ancestor aimed to sow discord, or even interfere in his relationship with Bazhun’an, thinking it was easy - this relationship was solid, entirely impenetrable!

"Choose one of the three, go ahead."

On the Demon Ancestor’s statue, a face slowly formed with a subtle smile, as if everything before was a setup, a performance for others to see, and now was the key moment.

"Spell out the price."

Since they chose to speak behind closed doors, Xu Xiaoshou dropped the pretenses, no longer addressing with "Holy Ancestor above".

The deal was possible.

To lay it all out in the open, essentially, they were equal, so he no longer needed to respect him.

"Upper, middle, and lower, each with different costs."

"I said, spell it out! All of it!" Xu Xiaoshou showed no warmth towards Him, "Everything!"

The Demon Ancestor seemed slightly surprised, more intrigued by this suddenly bold lost lamb.

He originally didn’t intend to speak but chose to reveal:

"The lower choice requires signing a contract with this Ancestor, serving me for five hundred years, after which you regain your freedom."

Is this the lower choice?

Isn’t this cost a bit too harsh?

Xu Xiaoshou found it amusing: "I’ve only been around for two years since debut, and one meeting with you costs me five hundred years? In five hundred years, I could fight five hundred like you!"

The Demon Ancestor smiled silently.

Xu Xiaoshou chuckled harmlessly: "So five hundred years, and what do I get, dear Demon Ancestor?"

"You will gain divinity, the Diabolical Force, cultivation to its end, and at the very least, Godhood-Sealing and Ancestor, reaching the realm that this Ancestor now holds."

"Skip it." Xu Xiaoshou’s smile faded, having no interest in these, "What about the middle one, does it demand a thousand years, ten thousand years?"

Given such a cost for the lower choice.

In fact, Xu Xiaoshou didn’t want to hear about the middle or upper choices.

He had realized the Demon Ancestor’s intent, simply to close the door, muddle things a bit, and once out, a wedge would be driven between him and Bazhun’an, fulfilling His goal.

The Demon Ancestor’s subtle smile at the moment indeed had the essence of a devil’s smile, yet His thoughts greatly differed from Xu Xiaoshou’s, and He spoke:

"The middle choice is an equivalent exchange."

"This Ancestor can tell you the ’Path of Two in One,’ and when you have sufficiently contributed, the ’Path of One Returns to Zero’ will also be revealed to you."

Xu Xiaoshou was just about to mock "you’re just a one, what do you know about returning to zero," but the Demon Ancestor interrupted him with a light chuckle:

"Do not doubt what this Ancestor speaks of now."

"Xu Xiaoshou, if you miss this opportunity, this matter will not be mentioned by this Ancestor again."

As he opened his mouth, the Demon Ancestor continued, interrupting him again: "For this, this Ancestor can also share with you a secret, considered as an advance... payment."

The emphasized words left Xu Xiaoshou stunned, not understanding His meaning.

An advance payment is simply an advance payment, what’s the issue?

Not refusing a freebie... Xu Xiaoshou sneered: "Speak."

"The Ten Ancestors, ten Ancestral God Fate Charts, have you ever wondered why there is an additional god slayer, Ran Ming, and the Ancestral God Fate Chart came into your possession?" The Demon Ancestor asked instead of telling.

"Speak!"

"Because the Time Ancestor has no Ancestral God Fate Chart, His existence is originally zero."

Xu Xiaoshou was stunned.

This matter was big, beyond his comprehension.

He was somewhat unsure if the Demon Ancestor was joking or speaking truth.

"Continue!"

"The Path of One Returns to Zero lies within the ten Ancestral God Fate Charts. If you choose the ’middle choice’ and complete the Path of Two in One, this Ancestor will then help you gather all ten Fate Charts, assisting you in returning to zero."

Wow!

How generous you are, brother Demon Ancestor!

Such a big secret, giving it to me for free?

Xu Xiaoshou was indifferent, chuckling in response: "And what about me, what do I need to contribute for this, and what do you wish to gain from me?"

"Equivalent exchange..."

The Demon Ancestor’s expression was tranquil, with a hint of a perpetual smile at the corners of His eyes and mouth: "You are responsible for collecting all the Kong Yuhen present in the river of time for this Ancestor, ensuring none are missed, and finally handing them all over to this Ancestor."
