"Got it, brother, do you remember my four spirit embryos?"

"I remember."

"Each of the four spirit embryos seals a personality polluted by a different Evil God. One of the evil personalities might just absorb the pollution from the Ten Thousand Tribulations Evil God inside you."

Li Cunxu's eyes lit up; this plan seemed highly feasible.

But would Li Anle's evil persona be willing to help? Probably not.

Li Cunxu had them sealed on the bed, paralyzed for ten years. Any normal person would harbor intense hatred for him, let alone evil personalities born out of divine pollution.

"The idea is good, but the evil persona probably won't cooperate."

Li Anle said, "They are very eager to be released from the spirit embryo seal now. After all, the seal is more tormenting than being paralyzed in bed. Being bed-ridden means they can still see, hear, and eat. The spirit embryo seal is like being locked in a pitch-black room, with all senses blocked off. Recently, when I talked to them, I could clearly feel they were about to collapse. I could use releasing her as a condition to get her cooperation."

Though Li Anle's four evil personas are quite malevolent, they are essentially thirteen-year-old girls, and it's understandable they can't withstand such isolation.

As Li Cunxu was still pondering, Li Anle had already taken out the spirit embryo sealing the evil persona, pulled out three Forbidden Spirit Nails, and started communicating.

"Can you absorb the polluting power of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Evil God from someone else's body?"

The evil persona eagerly replied, "Yes, yes, yes, I absolutely can. The Father's power is pollution to others, but it's a tonic to me."

Li Anle said, "Alright, I'll lift the seal for you, and you'll help me absorb the Evil God's pollution from my brother's body."

The evil persona asked, "Brother? Which brother? Is he a newly recognized brother?"

Li Anle, displeased, said, "I have only one brother, who do you think I'm talking about?"

The evil persona laughed with schadenfreude, "Ah, that damned Li Cunxu! He's really down on his luck. If you want my help to absorb the Father's pollution, I have some conditions you must agree to."

"Alright, tell me."

"Wait, don't release her."

Li Cunxu reached out to stop them.

"The evil persona just said that the power of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Evil God is a tonic for her. What if she consumes this tonic, becomes more powerful, and takes revenge on us?"

The evil persona was inwardly infuriated. She had just managed to escape the damned pitch-black room, only for Li Cunxu to block the door again.

The evil persona protested, "I won't. I just hatched from the spirit embryo. Even if I absorb the power, I won't be that strong."

"That's not certain. The power of an Evil God, no matter how weak, is still divine power."

Like how all teeth are animal teeth, but an elephant's is bigger than the others'.

Li Cunxu continued, "Moreover, the credibility of an evil persona like yours is practically zero."

"Ah, ah, ah~"

The evil persona was furious.

She had told the truth for once, only not to be believed.

Li Cunxu had no intention of releasing the evil persona. She had two sworn enemies, with him being her primary target, and Li Anle's main personality as the secondary.

He didn't care if she sought revenge on him, but targeting his sister, Li Cunxu couldn't bear.

To be locked away in eternal darkness again? No, absolutely not.

The evil persona revealed her nature, tempting Li Anle, "If you don't release me, your brother is sure to be polluted and assimilated. Can you bear to watch him fall and convert to the Father God?"

Li Anle wavered once more.

"Daring to tempt my sister, you're courting death. I won't die easily, but you'll certainly die soon."

Li Cunxu's murderous intent exploded, manifesting as the Evil Thought Scythe.

The evil persona understood Li Cunxu well, as he was inherently ruthless. Otherwise, he wouldn't have hidden his sister, who was polluted by the four gods, from the Alliance for ten years.

He was likely serious about wanting to kill her.

"No, no, don't kill me."

The evil persona stammered somewhat.

Li Cunxu was unmoved, advancing step by step.

The evil persona panicked; she hadn't lived enough yet—so many evil deeds in the world left undone. Helplessly dying like this? How disgraceful.

With a tearful tone, she said, "She's your sister, and so am I. Why love her and not me? I just want to come out and breathe the fresh air of freedom. Is it necessary to shout for blood like this?"

Li Anle, upon hearing this, felt somewhat softened. Moreover, without the evil persona, she couldn't help her brother resolve the Evil God's pollution.

"Brother, maybe spare her life. Although inherently evil, she hasn't done anything bad in her life."

"She hasn't done anything bad yet—they almost devoured you, the main personality."

"It was just 'almost'; they did have a bit of conscience and didn't eat me."

"Was it that they didn't eat? It was my forceful threat that stopped them. They knew once I found out the main personality was gone, I would report to the Alliance and destroy your body. They wouldn't survive, so they had to keep you."

"Is that so?"

Li Anle asked the evil persona, who remained silent.

Initially, the four evil personas indeed planned to eat the main personality. By dividing it among them, they could gain more control over the body. But an external threat loomed, and the body was pinned down by Forbidden Spirit Nails, so they held back from eating.

Though the four evil personas could mimic the speaking style of the main personality, fake is still fake. Once Li Cunxu detected any signs of the main personality being consumed, they'd meet their end.

"You see, they're worse than you think. Dealing with such cunning foxes requires direct force, not sly schemes. Outmaneuvering them in cunning and deceit is impossible—the best method is brute force. Kill to solve a hundred problems."

Li Cunxu raised the scythe, aiming to eliminate the evil persona.

The evil persona urgently said, "Wait, don't kill me. I have a way to gain absolute trust from the main personality."

Li Cunxu didn't believe it at all.

Li Anle pleaded, "Brother, it won't hurt to listen before you kill."

The evil persona agreed continuously, "Yes, yes, listen first, then if you're unsatisfied, kill me."

"Speak."

"Contract me as a pet beast."

Li Cunxu: ???

Li Anle: ???

Contract myself, become my own pet beast?

What on earth is that?

Li Anle prodded the spirit embryo, "Am I considered a pet beast when beneath the spirit embryo?"

The evil persona said, "Not exactly, but I can merge with flesh and blood. I can combine with a beast cub, and then you can contract with me. Plus, I have the innate ability of revival, and the beast cub I merge with will also inherit this legendary talent."

Acquiring a pet beast with legendary talent tempted even Li Cunxu.

"Feasible, but unsafe. Becoming a contracted pet beast doesn't completely prevent betrayal."

Contracting a pet beast did have constraints, but wasn't foolproof. Li Cunxu had seen numerous incidents of pet beasts betraying their Beast Masters, often enough.

The evil persona suggested, "We can sign a life-bound Beast Taming Contract."

The life-bound Beast Taming Contract, also known as a shared-life contract, binds a pet beast and its Beast Master to share life and death. If one dies, so does the other.

If the Beast Master dies, the pet beast follows. If the pet beast dies, the Beast Master follows.

Many pet beasts are unwilling to sign this contract; most pet beasts are long-lived, while humans are ephemeral. No creature wishes to die alongside a short-lived species.
