Su Changfeng proposes a radical plan to You Meng: using the Heavenly Punishment to kill the Silver Flood Dragon. You Meng is skeptical, pointing out the difficulties and that Heavenly Punishment is meant for cultivators, not beasts. Su Changfeng acknowledges the absurdity but insists it's the best option given their limited power against the dragon. He also hints at his ambition to unite the Three Kingdoms, believing the Silver Flood Dragon is the main obstacle.

"What do you mean by this?" You Meng frowned, looking at him and asked.

"Don’t you want to become a Holy Spirit Expert? Just one Fate Fruit wouldn’t be enough." Su Changfeng said.

You Meng looked at Su Changfeng incredulously, listening to what he seemed to imply. Was he really planning to give her so many Fate Fruits?

"No... it can’t be, you’re really going to give them to me?" As someone at the Primordial Level, You Meng considered herself composed, yet she found herself at a loss for words, indicating just how shocked she was.

"They are for you. If it’s not enough, just let me know." Su Changfeng said.

You Meng gasped; from Su Changfeng’s words, it seemed he had even more Fate Fruits on him!

"Do you live in the Sourceless Forest like I do? Otherwise, how could you have so many Fate Fruits?" Previously, Su Changfeng did mention that he had more than one Fate Fruit, but You Meng never expected him to have so many.

Something that was rare for a hundred years seemed increasingly cheap in his hands.

"You are right; I was raised by the Silver Flood Dragon from an early age." Su Changfeng shrugged and said.

You Meng instinctively shook her head. Even setting aside the fact that the Silver Flood Dragon had been asleep for a thousand years, it would never raise a human because of its violent nature.

"Do you want them or not? If not, just forget it." Su Changfeng said indifferently.

You Meng couldn’t hold back any longer and quickly snatched the Fate Fruits from Su Changfeng’s hand.

"Are you sure you want to give them to me? I’ll eat them all." You Meng tested again, still unable to believe Su Changfeng would be so generous.

"Go ahead, but don’t forget, if you feel a breakthrough is possible, you must inform me at once." Su Changfeng said.

You Meng frowned but then understood Su Changfeng’s plan.

It turned out he was willing to give her the Fate Fruits because he planned to use the Heavenly Punishment against the Silver Flood Dragon.

"You plan to let me breakthrough and then use my Heavenly Punishment to deal with the Silver Flood Dragon?" You Meng asked.

"Exactly. Did you think those Fate Fruits were given to you for free?" Su Changfeng said without hesitation.

"What should I do? Without undergoing the Heavenly Punishment, how can I be reborn?" You Meng frowned and asked.

Su Changfeng’s face turned dark, and he said coldly, "You Meng, if I don’t remind you, do you forget your place? You are merely my puppet; obedience is what you should be doing."

You Meng gritted her teeth secretly. She had yet to adjust to her new identity, still habitually arguing with Su Changfeng. On reflection, it was indeed her fault.

Su Changfeng was already her master, and he had given her the chance of a breakthrough, so she had no grounds to disobey his orders.

"I’ve now realized you’re really scheming. Did you have this planned all along, which is why you’re willing to form a contract with me, isn’t it?" You Meng asked.

"If there’s no value, why would I keep you around? You’re already very fortunate." Su Changfeng said calmly.

The more You Meng interacted with Su Changfeng, the more she realized he was far from what he appeared to be; he was not the gentle and modest person on the surface but someone full of schemes.

At this moment, You Meng felt she had fallen into Su Changfeng’s trap, the kind of trap one willingly walks into.

You Meng was secretly worried about dealing with someone like this; she might be sold off someday.

However, You Meng now had no other way. From the moment they formed a contract, she had handed her fate to Su Changfeng.

But thinking carefully, although Su Changfeng’s plan seemed absurd, it was not entirely impossible.

The power of Heavenly Punishment was undoubtedly formidable. If its power could be harnessed to solve the Silver Flood Dragon issue, it would indeed be good news for the Tianyuan Continent.

"You’re truly amazing; I doubt anyone on the Tianyuan Continent could come up with such a plan." You Meng marveled again; although the idea was absurd, it was indeed impressive to think of such a method.

"Whether we can finally deal with the Silver Flood Dragon, you might play a crucial role. Don’t you want to become the Savior of the Tianyuan Continent?" Su Changfeng said with a smile.

"What does being a Savior matter if I’m ultimately still your servant?" You Meng said sourly.

"Rest assured, the matter of the contract is known only to us; no one else will know. So in the eyes of others, you are still the high and mighty Primordial Master." Su Changfeng said with a smile.

You Meng never cared about dignity or face; otherwise, she wouldn’t have disguised herself as a beggar to find Su Changfeng. In truth, deep down, You Meng also hoped to follow Su Changfeng’s footsteps.

The Holy Spirit Realm is legendary, a well-known fact. But above the Holy Spirit Realm, is there possibly a whole new world?

No one knows for sure, so following Su Changfeng provides more opportunities to explore these things.

Chenguang Hall.

A subordinate rushed to the Emperor’s side.

"Su Changfeng and You Meng are already heading towards Chenguang Hall," the subordinate said.

The Emperor nodded, saying, "Withdraw the people surrounding Wang Junyi and Baili Luoyuan. It’s best if Su Changfeng and his companions don’t find out about this."

The subordinate felt helpless. Wang Junyi and Baili Luoyuan never left, and Su Changfeng naturally figured out their detention. How could he not come back? Now withdrawing people, is it as though this never happened? Su Changfeng isn’t that foolish, right?

"Emperor, Su Changfeng probably already figured this out." The subordinate said.

"How could he not? Otherwise, why would he be back?" The Emperor said with a smile.

The subordinate looked puzzled. Since the Emperor knew, why do this?

"So what if he’s figured it out? It’s not like he saw it with his own eyes; can he confront me over it?" the Emperor said contemptuously.

Upon hearing this, the subordinate immediately understood. The Emperor was doing this for his pride, using his status to suppress Su Changfeng. Even Su Changfeng couldn’t do anything about it.

The Emperor’s actions weren’t significant, but for some reason, the subordinate felt an unease deep inside.

Last time, when Su Changfeng was at Chenguang Hall, he confronted the Emperor, indicating that Su Changfeng didn’t take the Emperor seriously at all.

"Yes." The subordinate felt helpless but had no choice; since the Emperor had commanded it, he had to comply.

Seeing the subordinate leave, the Emperor’s expression slowly turned somber.
