"Who are you? Why did you bring me here?"
The figure on the throne was hidden in the darkness.
As Qian Renshang struggled to make out his features, a suffocating sense of oppression washed over him.
"You can call me the Fallen Angel Lucifer!"
The dark figure began to explain, saying that he was also a god.
In his world, everyone called him the Fallen Angel Lucifer, and everyone feared his existence.
He had come to this world by some accident.
Qian Renshang's awakened twelve-winged Fallen Angel martial soul had also awakened by sensing a trace of his dark power.
In short, he had already chosen Qian Renshang, but now that Qian Renshang's dark power had reached a certain level, he could finally see him.
Qian Renshang stared wide-eyed at the dark figure before him in disbelief.
"The Fallen Angel Lucifer? A god?"
Lucifer's voice echoed in the darkness, carrying boundless majesty and a sense of age.
"Yes, child. I possess boundless power, but in a battle of epic proportions, an accident left me stranded here."
"Even with only a tenth of my power remaining, I am still far stronger than the so-called gods of your world!"
Qian Renshang was filled with doubt. "Then why did you seek me out?"
Lucifer slowly said,
"I see in you a sense of resentment and a thirst for power, so similar to my own past.
I can grant you power, making you the ruler of this world, but you must pay a price."
Qian Renshang gritted his teeth. "What price?"
Lucifer grinned sinisterly. "
Your soul will be forever bound to me, becoming my servant."
"So, if you agree, I can give you power now, allowing you to seek revenge!?"
"You're in pain right now, aren't you?
Betrayed by your family, those you care about died saving you… Don't you desperately need power?"
"I can give it to you, and the price is nothing more than a tiny bit."
Lucifer whispered like a devil, guiding Qian Renshang's emotions little by little.
He thought Qian Renshang would agree immediately, but to his surprise, Qian Renshang smiled slightly.
"Heh heh...heh...hahaha..."
The laughter was piercing, like the laughter of a demon.
Qian Renshang's pupils had turned black at some point, an extreme black!
"Just a trapped, stray dog, yet you dare to dream of being my master..."
"You? You're not worthy!"
Qian Renshang's face was full of sarcasm, while Lucifer's voice was filled with terror.
"You...you can actually see me?"
"What do you think?"
Qian Renshang looked ahead expressionlessly at the so-called throne!
Behind the throne was a person, or more accurately, a demon!
It was Lucifer!
Lucifer was tall, standing there like a majestic mountain.
His skin was sickly pale, as if it had never been exposed to the warmth of the sun.
mmHis face had deep and sharp features, as if carved by a sharp blade.
His eyes were like burning black flames, deep and fiery, as if they could instantly devour a person's soul.
Most terrifying of all were his six pairs of dark wings.
Each pair of wings was enormous, seemingly capable of blotting out the entire sky when outstretched.
The feathers on the wings were not soft and light, but sharp as blades, gleaming with a chilling light.
However, these wings were tightly bound by heavy iron chains.
The chains were engraved with mysterious and ancient runes, flashing with an eerie light, seemingly suppressing Lucifer's boundless power.
Whenever Lucifer moved even slightly, the chains would make a dull thud, echoing in the deathly silence, as if binding and punishing him.
But even so, the terrifying aura emanating from him still sent chills down one's spine, as if he could break free of the chains at any moment, bringing destruction and apocalypse.
"A stray dog... do you think I would believe you can give me power now?"
"Here... I am the master!"
As Qian Renshang's words fell, the vast darkness instantly swept over Lucifer.
The Twelve-Winged Fallen Angel Martial Soul is ultimately Qian Renshang's own power; Lucifer merely resides within it.
Otherwise, he would have already controlled Qian Renshang.
Lucifer was just deceiving Qian Renshang earlier; this place is actually Qian Renshang's spiritual sea!
Qian Renshang did want power, that's true, but he couldn't possibly give himself away...
*Crack! Crack! Crack!*
Dark power transformed into a whip, directly lashing Lucifer!
Lucifer howled in pain, then began begging for mercy.
"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me..."
But Qian Renshang continued. He hated being deceived.
He didn't know how long the beating lasted before Qian Renshang finally stopped and questioned him.
"How much power do you actually have left?"
"Less than a hundred... but it's still very strong, though a bit limited..."
Lucifer finally admitted his mistake. He was speechless; this human was even more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.
Was he insane?
"Was that system I had before your doing?"
Qian Renshang seemed to remember something and asked.
Lucifer gave an awkward smile.
"That's right! Those rewards were also given to you by me... I was just guiding you gradually... I entered this plane, so naturally I have some authority.
These things aren't difficult for me."
But later, my power gradually ran out... so..."
Qian Renshang finally understood why the system sometimes appeared and sometimes disappeared.
Although the rewards were plentiful, they weren't that many.
It turned out that Lucifer's power was limited!
"Now, give me all the power you have left... I'm going to take revenge!"
Qian Renshang looked up at Lucifer as if giving an order.
Lucifer was completely dumbfounded.
"Impossible, I don't have much power left..."
"Then you're useless?"
Qian Renshang said, wanting to erase Lucifer's existence directly.
Things without value should just be eliminated.
"Wait...wait...I still have a use for you,"
Lucifer pleaded.
"I still have my divine position...you can inherit my godhood."
"Although I can't give you all my power directly, you can slowly inherit my divine position...most of my power is sealed there!"
Lucifer explained. Qian Renshang directly asked what the trade was.
Lucifer wanted to make a deal with Qian Renshang:
Qian Renshang had to collect one million souls for him, and in return, he would completely inherit his divine power.
Then he would become the new Fallen Angel!
According to his estimation, his power would surpass the so-called five Great God-Kings of this world!
Upon hearing this condition, Qian Renshang frowned slightly.
One million souls—how cruel and sinful!
But thinking of the Crimson King's uncertain fate and the arrogance of the Spirit Hall, the flames of revenge burned fiercely in his heart.
"Alright, I agree!"
Qian Renshang's voice sounded exceptionally firm in this terrifying space.
