Subsequently, Xu Sheng couldn't help but ponder deeply, "After the Plane Spirit completely disappears, my Divine Power should fully recover, so it wouldn't be very difficult to eradicate all the Demon Cultivators in this world!
Moreover, I could even obtain complete control over this place!"
At that thought, his dark eyes twinkled, and he spoke out, "Plane Spirit, are you sure that after I help you eliminate these Demon Cultivators, you will transfer the management rights of this entire plane to me?"
Upon hearing Xu Sheng's words, filled with a need for confirmation, the Plane Spirit replied in a somewhat weak voice, "Outsider, I now must choose to trust you, for I am about to cease to exist."
After a pause, it continued, "By that time, only you, who can resolve the fissures in the plane, will be qualified to become its master!"
Besides, the most important thing was that it had some understanding of Xu Sheng and knew that there were quite a few women in this plane who had significant ties with him; entrusting him would let it rest easy...
Xu Sheng couldn't help but purse his thin lips. From these two sentences, he had already sensed that what the Plane Spirit said was indeed true!
Clearly, it had decided on this matter a long time ago. In other words, regardless of whether he could eliminate the Demon Cultivators, it was going to entrust the plane to him!
It had no other choice!
As Xu Sheng was contemplating, the Plane Spirit once again asked with an urgent tone, "Outsider, are you willing to help me?"
Returning to his senses, he replied calmly, "Plane Spirit, I accept your request. Rest easy."
Hearing the satisfactory answer, the Plane Spirit's voice finally carried a few more notes of relief...
"Then… Outsider, I entrust this plane to you from now on, and wish you... good luck!"
As the voice faded, the Plane Spirit completely severed the connection with Xu Sheng...
Seeing this, Xu Sheng shook his head helplessly, "Does this mean I've acquired a vassal plane for the Douluo plane?"
If it weren't for the fissure in the plane continuously expanding, leading to a massive collision between the Douluo plane and the Cultivation Plane, creating irreversible consequences, he really would have liked to try merging them to see what would happen!
Perhaps he could create a civilization that lay between the two...
Lost in his thoughts, the gentle voice of Zhou Qingruo suddenly sounded by his ear...
"Xu Sheng! Xu Sheng! What are you daydreaming about?"
Snapping back to reality, Xu Sheng immediately controlled the surrounding Divine Power to dissipate slowly, bringing his awareness back to the present...
Subsequently, his dark eyes regained their luster, falling upon Duanmu Lian and Zhou Qingruo beside him...
Seeing Xu Sheng recovering from his daze, Duanmu Lian spoke with a hint of disappointment, "Xu Sheng? Was there something inappropriate with what I just said? If you're reluctant, you really don't need to force yourself!"
"???"
A deep confusion appeared on Xu Sheng's face. What had Duanmu Lian just said? He hadn't heard anything!
Zhou Qingruo's amber Beautiful Eyes seemed to see through his thoughts as she spoke softly, "Xu Sheng, I think we should forget about it. There are so many Demon Cultivators in Central State; there is really no need to take such risks."
She also fundamentally opposed what Duanmu Lian had suggested...
If those Demon Cultivators did not provoke them, why ask for trouble?
Besides, what they were facing were Demon Cultivators—far more dangerous than even Immortal Monarchs and Saints!
Once dead, there would be no second chance!
Hearing Zhou Qingruo's response, Duanmu Lian did not show any surprise. She sighed, forced a wry smile, and said, "Qingruo, as expected, you disagree with the proposal."
She understood Zhou Qingruo well, knew that she was cold by nature, and preferred to eliminate threats without leaving any loose ends!
```
But it was always the case that she was provoked first; hence, the suggestion was resolutely rejected, which couldn't have been more normal!
Upon hearing their conversation, Xu Sheng immediately guessed roughly what Duanmu Lian had suggested earlier…
Considering her disliking of Demon Cultivators as fierce as it was, she probably proposed eradicating the Demon Cultivators of Central State!
It must be said, though, that the idea was somewhat naive. Without the restoration of his Divine Power, even if hundreds, thousands more like them came, they likely wouldn't stand a chance against these Demon Cultivators!
Of course, that's excluding the premise that the Plane Spirit had entrusted him to obliterate the Demon Cultivators!
Straight away, he turned to look at Zhou Qingruo beside him and smiled, saying, "Qingruo, I think Lian's suggestion could be worth a try."
Zhou Qingruo frowned slightly and asked, "Xu Sheng, do you also think Lian's proposal is feasible?"
Although she had some difficulty understanding the proposal at heart, if both Xu Sheng and Duanmu Lian made the same decision, she wouldn't refuse either…
Yet Duanmu Lian's cheeks suddenly flushed with joy, exclaiming in surprise, "Xu Sheng, you actually agreed?"
She had been fully prepared to be rejected!
But the next second, her delicate cheeks showed hesitation as she said, "Xu Sheng, if you agreed just because of my feelings, you really didn't need to!"
Otherwise, how would it be any different from forcing Xu Sheng?
Xu Sheng tapped Duanmu Lian's head lightly and teased, "Don't overthink it, Lian. I didn't agree just for your sake. From the start, I planned to slaughter all the Demon Cultivators in this Central State!"
Duanmu Lian's cheeks became even more flushed. She then cautiously glanced at Zhou Qingruo, and upon noticing that the latter showed no displeasure, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief…
She didn't want Zhou Qingruo to misunderstand her because of Xu Sheng's somewhat intimate gesture!
At that moment, the Cloud Devouring Beast standing at the side, trembling with fear, felt the dread in his heart dissolve when he heard their intention to kill all the Demon Cultivators…
Then, a look of disdain emerged on its somewhat unusual face…
Who did these people think they were?
Mere three individuals at the Immortal Monarch Realm, presuming to slaughter all Demon Cultivators—this was definitely a sign of a problem in their brains!!
Thinking of this, it couldn't help but feel angry inside!
It gritted its teeth and thought bitterly, "Damn it! Why did I submit to these three?!"
...
Upon deciding to annihilate the Demon Cultivators of Central State, Duanmu Lian's beautiful eyes finally noticed the Cloud Devouring Beast, which lacked any presence by their side!
The latter couldn't shake off the ominous premonition rising in his heart…
Sure enough, showing distaste, Duanmu Lian pointed at the beast and said to Zhou Qingruo, "Xu Sheng, Qingruo, what should we do with this Cloud Devouring Beast? Should we just kill it?"
Zhou Qingruo glanced at the Cloud Devouring Beast and said coldly, "I agree, nip it in the bud. Who knows if this creature might harbor thoughts of vengeance!"
The Cloud Devouring Beast stepped back, stammering, "You… how can you do this? I've told you everything that's happened in Central State!"
Xu Sheng looked at the Cloud Devouring Beast and a strange smile formed on his lips, saying, "There's no need to kill it, but well…"
The Cloud Devouring Beast, feeling the eerie gaze upon it, shuddered uncontrollably.
It swallowed nervously and thought, "What does this man want to do? Could he possibly be coveting my body??"
