Chapter 1332 - Negotiation (1/2)

Lin Yun, however, stopped Myers with a weird smile.

“Where do you think you’re going? Have you come to your senses? Are you ready to talk?”

Lin Yun stopped Myers, and spoke to Lord Shawn, who had been petrified.

“Lord Shawn, translate my words into the soul language. I believe it should be able to understand.”

Lord Shawn was immediately stunned.

“It? Are you referring to that horrifying monster? It can understand? That insane guy is a beast that does not have any intellect… Intellect… Damn it, are you implying that the monster is intelligent?”

“Cut the crap. Just translate my words. The language of the souls is universal. It’s the expression of your consciousness. As a soul entity, you’re naturally endowed to speak that. Don’t tell me you can’t.”

Lin Yun interrupted Shawn. Lord Shawn’s expression changed in shock. However, it listened to Lin Yun’s command, and translated the words.

Immediately, Myers, who was casting spells crazily, paused for a moment, and then attacked again.

Seeing that, Lin Yun put on a big smile.

The thought had occurred to Lin Yun many times, but he’d never had the time to consider it carefully. It was not until he fought Myers for a while that he recaptured the idea that flashed in his head earlier.

The idea was that the monster was not one that acted on animal instincts as recorded in history!

Because of his preconception that the monster was brainless, all his plans and thoughts were on a wrong basis. So, everything was wrong, and not the truth.

The truth was that the monster boasted its own wisdom. The enormous mana crystal and soul were not an amalgamation of soul power; they already underwent a qualitative change, and gave birth to wisdom.

That monster was the only intelligent life in this plane. That was why it let nature run its course in this plane until enough creatures were born. Then, it would tear apart those creatures, and swallow their souls. After that, it would fall asleep, and wait for its next waking and eating.

The detailed records of this plane weren’t left until 1,000 years after its discovery. Nobody knew what happened during the previous millennium.

When there were detailed records, the monster wasn’t intelligent, so there was only one possibility.

At the beginning, the monster’s soul already had a qualitative change, but it wasn’t very intelligent, not even as intelligent as a normal human being. At this critical moment, human beings found it.

Then, it was 1,000 years of war and conflicts. Its massive yet unfocused soul ebbed, and its intelligence dwindled. It degenerated into a monster that only had instincts.

Therefore, at that moment, there was no way to eliminate the monster without completely destroying the plane. To develop the plane, the monster could not be woken up.

For a long time, the plane had been developed in such a manner…

If the monster was a crazy monster that only had natural instincts, then Lin Yun would have to give up this plane despite all his efforts. He would have to destroy all the creatures in this plane that were under the monster’s control, and then collect all the resources he could find. After that, he would have to leave and wait for the monster to fall asleep.

However, the monster turned out to be intelligent, which meant that it was possible to negotiate with it. Wisdom and rationality meant that it had a lot of weaknesses…

Wearing a smile, Lin Yun dodged Myers’ crazy attacks. In the sky, the Hand of Destruction had already been half charged. The waves of the destructive power had already caused a terrifying cloud to form in the sky. The clouds turned into a vortex, and surrounded the Hand of Destruction.

The monster seemed to be done with waiting. Dazzling crystal brilliance surfaced on Myers’ skin. Then, 1,000 crystal balls appeared around Lin Yun. At the same time, the space around him was pressing him, and preventing him from escaping. He could only be torn apart by the crystal stings from the balls.

His Natural Demiplane’s projection appeared above his head, and the power of laws sprayed down. The laws that the Natural Demiplane and the pillar accommodated fell at the same time. The power of earth, fire, water, and wind was rolling, as if it was establishing another space around Lin Yun. It was pushing the oppressing spatial power away.

Lin Yun casually stepped out, and left the range of the crystal stings’ outburst.

He then looked back at Myers with a mocking smile.

The Natural Demiplane’s projection, when used as defense, could even pass through Agalon where the laws of space were changed. It could certainly let Lin Yun survive in this place.

Although the power that the monster used was enormous, its understanding of the law of space was quite primitive. It had the power because the plane was part of the monster’s body. However, the power was just its natural instinct, and the monster didn’t have a deeper understanding of the law of space at all.

It didn’t require a lot of power to break the blockage, and it only depended on one’s understanding of the law of space.

After Lin Yun dodged the attack easily, the dark and scary power finally burst out of the Hand of Destruction’s barrel. A thick gray pillar of light descended from the sky.

The pillar of light brutally hit the land in the center of the plane. Immediately, the earth was shaking, and the space was cracking. All matter that was hit by the pillar was obliterated. Soil, magic crystals, beasts, rocks…

Everything was obliterated when hit by the pillar of light. Even the gravity around the pillar of light seemed to be gone. The river of time was flowing at a lower speed. Dust, stones, bodies, and everything else was floating.

The pillar of light entered deep underground, obliterating everything in its way. In only three seconds, it had pressed three kilometers into the ground…

At this moment, the entire plane was trembling. The earth was trembling. Everything was trembling. The crystallized beasts all stopped moving, and the entire plane seemed to be collapsing…

A dozen seconds later, the gray pillar of light vanished, but the earth didn’t stop shaking.

Looking at Myers, who had stopped fighting, Lin Yun sneered.

“I think I attacked in the wrong direction. I didn’t hit your mana crystal and soul. Oh, I got it wrong. Your mana crystal and soul are not in the center of the plane, but a bit away from the center…

“Lord Shawn, translate.”

Lord Shawn quickly translated Lin Yun’s words. Three seconds later, Lord Shawn looked back at Lin Yun in surprise.

“Sir Merlin, that monster is truly intelligent. He says, ‘almighty being, stop hurting me, what do you want to talk about?’”

Lin Yun narrowed his eyes. Countless thoughts rolled in his head. From his reply, Lin Yun confirmed that the monster hadn’t gained wisdom for a long time. It was only as smart as an innocent ordinary person…

“I’m not here to hurt you; I’m here to help you. I’m only showing my ability to destroy you. As long as I destroy this plane, which is your body, your mana crystal and soul will be defenseless. It will be very simple to destroy your soul.
