Chapter 591: Chapter 511: Isn’t This Also a Kind of Cuckoldry? (2.6K)

Su Yuan: "So, you’re willing then?"

Seeing the Spirit Medicine Fairy’s face filled with struggle, Su Yuan’s tone became especially enticing.

And after a few moments of silence, the Spirit Medicine Fairy could only nod dejectedly.

What else could she do? She was close to being killed, and she might not even be able to commit suicide.

Whether she refused or agreed, the Abyssal Shadow would likely replace her, so she might as well be smart about it and gain some favor at least.

With the main character consenting, the next step for Su Yuan was to turn her into a shadow.

However, creating a shadow of a Divinity Transformation Cultivator was no easy feat for Su Yuan, who was only at the Nascent Soul Fourth Layer.

Fortunately, the Spirit Medicine Fairy was different from ordinary Divinity Transformation Cultivators; she had sacrificed most of her flesh and blood for alchemy, reducing the essence of her Divinity Transformation to a certain limit.

In terms of life essence, it’s not an exaggeration to call her the weakest Divinity Transformation.

Plus, she was severely injured, in an extremely poor state, so the energy consumption for copying a shadow of the same level shouldn’t be too high, barely within Su Yuan’s tolerable range.

Su Yuan took a deep breath, raised his hand towards the Spirit Medicine Fairy, and activated the Mixed Element Divine Technique, Abyssal Shadow.

The next second, Su Yuan felt his Spiritual Power being drained at a terrifying speed, and in just a few seconds, the Spiritual Power of his Mixed Element Nascent Soul was completely exhausted.

Fortunately, Su Yuan had a second Nascent Soul, the Corrupted Nascent Soul.

Xiaofu stepped forward to provide the Spiritual Power needed to sustain the Abyssal Shadow.

Not only its own Spiritual Power but also the cultivation stored in the Crown of Corruption, belonging to the Mystic World Demon Race, was sacrificed.

Finally, before Su Yuan’s Spiritual Power was completely depleted, the Abyssal Shadow was successfully activated.

A shadow that looked identical to the Spirit Medicine Fairy, with a weak aura, appeared behind the main body.

This shadow was extremely unstable, lasting at most a few minutes before it would dissipate.

Unless, within these few minutes, it could replace the main body and become an independent existence.

And it indeed could achieve that.

After forming, the shadow of the Spirit Medicine Fairy transformed into an inky black curtain, completely enveloping the main body, while the three swords of the Evil Extermination Sword Master withdrew in a timely manner.

Su Yuan watched this scene, unable to help but sigh inwardly.

Turning his subordinates into allies with the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity’s techniques, isn’t this a kind of cuckoldry?

Old Deng surely never imagined he would see such a day.

Not long after, the curtain transformed back into the Spirit Medicine Fairy.

She was still in a burlap robe, her expression indifferent, her gaze towards Su Yuan carrying a faint... disdain.

Wasn’t it?

Su Yuan’s eyes widened.

Just now, I was despised by the shadow, wasn’t I? Definitely despised, right!

Clearly a shadow under my complete control, yet it despised me—am I such a poor master?

"Spirit Medicine..."

Gui Yuan looked at the shadow before her, identical to her old friend, her beautiful eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Gui Yuan, you seem troubled, do you think I am no longer who I once was?"

The Spirit Medicine Fairy keenly sensed her friend’s thoughts, lightly smiled and said:

"When I was under the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity, I saw many companions replaced by shadows."

"At that time, I couldn’t help but wonder, since the shadow holds all the memories and cultivation of the main body, and their thought processes are indistinguishable from the main body, are the shadow and the main body considered the same person?"

"Those friends who became shadows and gradually turned evil, did they fall because of the inherent sin of the shadows, or was it because the prolonged oppression by the Venerable caused their psyches to twist?" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

Confronted with this question, the three Divinity Transformations and Su Yuan all sank into contemplation.

Su Yuan thought of the Saint Law Celestial Monarch, the Ancient Celestial Monarch, and the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch of the Holy Law Governance Council.

They all became corrupted.

But was it truly the Abyssal Shadow that caused their corruption?

At least the Abyssal Shadow Divine Technique Su Yuan mastered had no such effect.

Perhaps, even if the real Gui Yuan were in the Saint Law Celestial Monarch’s position, after enduring over a hundred thousand years of enslavement and despair, she would become that kind of twisted personality too.

He then thought of the shadow of the Decaying Celestial Monarch, who was sealed away.

That shadow was sealed from birth, never experiencing the influence of the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity.

Therefore, when Su Yuan met him, he remained as earnest as the main body, which already explained a lot.

So here comes the question: once a shadow replaces the main body, can it be considered the main body?

Su Yuan felt this was a very profound question, not something that could be thoroughly understood quickly.

"It seems that this question has stumped you."

The Spirit Medicine Fairy saw everyone deep in thought, and with a smile, she said:

"Until you come up with an answer, please treat me as the original body."

"After all, from my perspective, in just the blink of an eye, the gaze everyone cast upon me turned strange, and this experience is quite uncomfortable."

Gui Yuan snapped back to reality, nodded lightly, and then said:

"To avoid the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity from sensing something amiss and coming to the Spirit Medicine Cyan Domain to hold you accountable, you should first take the Spirit Medicine Cyan Domain back to the Blue Star Federation."

"Later, I’ll have Su Yuan check all the civilians in the Spirit Medicine Cyan Domain to ensure there are no Abyssal Shadows, and then I’ll give you the coordinates of the Blue Star Federation."

The Spirit Medicine Fairy did not refuse, turning her gaze toward Su Yuan.

In her view, it was inevitable that the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity had planted shadows within the Spirit Medicine Cyan Domain, the only difference being the number.

Hopefully, there aren’t too many shadows, so that some civilians might be saved.

However, after Su Yuan carefully inspected the Spirit Medicine Cyan Domain, he exhibited a peculiar expression.

Su Yuan’s odd expression suddenly caused the Spirit Medicine Fairy to entertain unpleasant suspicions in her heart.

She opened her mouth, wanting to ask something, but felt her throat dry up, unable to utter a single word.

Su Yuan took a deep breath before slowly speaking:

"Previously, when I was examining the Spirit Medicine senior’s situation, I only skimmed through a few civilians."

"At that time, I wondered why all the civilians I saw had been replaced by Abyssal Shadows. Was it just a coincidence?"

"But after checking the entire Spirit Medicine Cyan Domain just now, I realized it was not a coincidence, because the entire Human Race worldwide has been replaced by shadows."

"In short, Spirit Medicine senior, you’ve been played."

Spirit Medicine Fairy: "..."

Her once calm and indifferent eyes slowly widened, the whites becoming gradually filled with bloodstains.

A towering murderous intent filled the empty cosmic space, akin to a lioness returning from a hunt only to find her cubs bitten to death by hyenas, furious and sorrowful.

"The Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity... how dare he! How dare he treat me like this!"

"I’ve tried my best to swallow my pride, so why does he still refuse to let me go, still wanting to mock me? Does he consider me and my civilians just his entertainment and diversion?"

The Spirit Medicine Fairy’s serene face twisted, resembling a female Asura, ready to devour.

But immediately after, she clutched her head in agony, large teardrops like pearls welling up in her eyes, scattering into the cosmic space.

"When exactly were my civilians replaced by shadows? What have I done all these years?"

"I’ve broken my limits time and again, yet the result is nothing but emptiness and failure..."

At this moment, the Spirit Medicine Fairy was evidently thoroughly broken.

If it weren’t for Su Yuan’s forceful intervention, she, being a shadow, might have collapsed and ended herself.

It wasn’t because this Ancient Divinity Transformation’s Dao Heart was weak, but because her plight was simply too pitiful.

Even Su Yuan felt a bit guilty, thinking that his earlier attempts to coerce her with her civilians were somewhat excessive.

Seeing his old friend’s nearly frenzied state, Gui Yuan sighed and said.

"Spirit Medicine, you’re just too close to the situation to see clearly."

"From what I know about the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity, that old bastard has taken it to the extreme. How could he possibly be at ease letting a force with a Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarch’s teachings grow unbothered?"

"What if they developed a peerless genius who could threaten him? Even if the chance is one in a billion, he would certainly strangle it in the cradle."

"From the beginning, I felt there was something off about the civilians of the Spirit Medicine Cyan Domain, but I didn’t expect the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity to be so ruthless."

The Spirit Medicine Fairy, clutching her head, gazed helplessly, muttering as if in a dream:

"That’s why... I believe you cannot possibly defeat the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity."

"He’s too insidious and too powerful. To face him is like clear water against ink, corroded and assimilated in the blink of an eye."

"Unless..."

At the last moment, the Spirit Medicine Fairy’s voice suddenly paused, with a subtle change in tone.

"Unless what?"

Su Yuan eagerly asked.

"Unless... someone on our side is darker than him."

The Spirit Medicine Fairy spoke, casting a subtle glance at Su Yuan.

Su Yuan: "..."

Why are you looking at me?
