When it saw Duan Gujin, it squeaked in alarm. It initially intended to attack Duan Gujin, but it quickly felt as if its head was about to explode. It squealed in pain.

In the next moment, it understood that its Divine Soul had been controlled by the person it saw.

"Who are you? Why are you imprisoning my Divine Soul?"

Just then, a gentle voice echoed in Duan Gujin's mind. His expression changed slightly as he recognized that the gentle voice came from the Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat in front of him.

"From now on, I am your master! I know who you are; you are the Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat!"

Duan Gujin answered directly.

"Master?"

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat was stunned.

"You have awakened your Divine Wisdom?"

Duan Gujin's eyes flashed as he asked.

"Yes, I was originally a Demon Beast. Once my cultivation reached a certain level, I naturally awakened my Divine Wisdom! I didn't expect to be defeated! Was it those foods?"

The gentle voice said.

"Yes, I mean you no harm. I just want a Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat as a pet. Don't worry, follow me, and you'll enjoy a life of opulence!"

Duan Gujin blushed. If it were him, he would never allow himself to be someone else's pet.

"I was living just fine; I'm not used to being someone else's pet!"

The gentle voice said.

"It's alright, I won't ask you to do anything you don't want to. After you follow me, you'll get to taste a lot of delicious food!"

Duan Gujin's eyes sparkled; he felt like a human trafficker trying to deceive a young child.

"Don't lie to me!"

The gentle voice said.

"Are you male or female? Why does your voice sound so gentle?"

Duan Gujin curiously asked.

"I'm female!"

The gentle voice said.

"Oh, I see! Do you know your identity?"

Duan Gujin continued to ask.

"I inherited the family's memory, so I know some things. I know what you're up to—you humans just want to use my innate abilities to find treasures. For us, this treasure-finding ability is innate, and I don't need to expend much energy!"

The Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat replied.

"Oh! Rest assured, I will release you in the future!"

Duan Gujin said calmly.

"When will you release me? In a hundred years, two hundred years, a thousand years, or maybe you'll never release me?"

Inheriting ancestral memories and knowledge, the Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat chuckled dryly.

"Ten years will be enough! As long as you follow me for ten years, I'll take you to the Divine World! Do you know the Divine World?"

Duan Gujin said.

"I do. My ancestors fled from the Divine World to seek refuge! However, my ancestors disappeared long ago! It left one day and never returned!"

The Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat answered.

"Do you want to find it?"

"Where can I find it? I don't even have the ability to protect myself. How can I find my ancestor?"

Upon hearing this, Duan Gujin was overjoyed.

"As long as you follow me honestly and work for me, I'll make sure you enjoy life! I can refine many good Elixir Pills for you to enhance your cultivation, so you can survive in the Divine World!"

Duan Gujin said.

"Heh, you controlled my Divine Soul with a Spirit-controlling Talisman and then said you'd help me—you're obviously deceiving me!"

The Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat replied dismissively.

"I just worried you'd run away upon seeing me. Isn't our current situation good enough? Let's cooperate!"

Duan Gujin could tell that the Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat, which had awakened its Divine Wisdom, was not easily deceived.

To make it cooperate with him, besides coercion, he also needed inducements.

"Heh, let me ask you, in ten years, can you really take me back to the Divine World?"

The Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat probed.

"Of course, I am now at the cultivation of a Martial Saint! Without any accidents, I'll enter the Divine World within ten years!"

Duan Gujin calculated in his mind and felt confident he could return to the Divine World within ten years.

"How will you help me enhance my strength?"

The Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat continued to probe.

"I can provide you with enough Elixir Pills to rapidly boost your cultivation."

Duan Gujin's eyes flashed as he spoke.

"I am currently at the Martial Emperor Third Realm in cultivation; when can you enable me to break through to the First Level of Martial Saint?"

The Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat asked.

"That depends on your foundation. Generally, the speed of cultivation for an Innate Spiritual Object is several times faster than that of the Human Clan. Let's say it's three times for you; you'll probably break through to the First Level of Martial Saint in about a year!"

Duan Gujin said.

"Oh, if that's really the case, then we can cooperate. Even though I am an Innate Spiritual Object, it's very difficult for me to break through to the Martial Saint level!"

The Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat said.

"I can help you break through quickly. As long as you cooperate with me to find treasures, I'll give you enough Elixir Pills to help you break through to Martial Saint!"

Duan Gujin was overjoyed. Innate Spiritual Objects originally had fast cultivation speeds, and with the aid of Elixir Pills, their cultivation speed would become even faster.

Generally, Innate Spiritual Objects lack comprehension and can't perform Alchemy or Artifact Refining, nor can they improve their cultivation by learning like the Human Clan.

But Innate Spiritual Objects can inherit memories from their ancestors, gaining knowledge.

This method, although beneficial, would cause difficulties in cultivation if ancestors died without leaving memory inheritances.

"I can cooperate with you. You must help me quickly break through my cultivation, and I can help you find treasures! Don't deceive me! Although I haven't read much, I'm not easy to deceive!"

The Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat said solemnly.

"Don't worry! I won't deceive you. I just didn't know how to communicate with you before. Now I know, and we can truly become good friends. Don't worry, I certainly won't force things upon you! Unfortunately, the Spirit-controlling Talisman has been infused with my Life Essence Blood, and breaking it would take time! Rest assured, I won't lie to you! Happy cooperation!"

Duan Gujin's face was full of smiles. He chuckled as he picked it up from the ground, placed it in his palm, and petted it a few times.

Seeing that the Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat did not resist, he finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great, I've finally deceived it! I didn't realize it before, but now I know I have a knack for conning!"

Duan Gujin immediately asked the Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat to pack its things, but it told him it had nothing of value.

"I know there's a place with a treasure, but a demon much stronger than me guards that place. I can't get near the treasure. If you're interested, you can come with me to check it out!"

Before leaving, the Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat said.

"What kind of treasure is it?"

Duan Gujin's interest was immediately piqued.

"I'm really not sure; I can only judge from the aura emanating from the treasure that it's something that can restore the lifespan of living creatures. I truly don't know anything specific, and the demon's cultivation is much stronger than mine. I don't dare approach that demon!"

The Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat said.
