Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

"Control is the lowest means. A truly supreme God does not bother to control any followers, He only needs faith. Your junior sister can be both your spiritual companion and your physical companion. One of you is a demon, one is a human, but dual cultivation is highly effective because your powers are fundamentally of the same origin, transcending race. In the future, when you truly grasp the Power of the True God, you can even share your power with her from a thousand miles away, and vice versa. You will gradually learn this as you grow stronger."

Huijun tried to be as brief as possible. You Su sensed her urgency, so he asked:

"So, you don’t mean for me to turn Huo Yuandi into my subordinate too, do you?"

"Only that way can you continue his life. The True God is the source of all wickedness, and nothing wicked can surpass Him. If you wish, you can even strip the subordinates of the three Evil Gods. You should know there are quite a few cultivators on the Five Continents who secretly offer their souls to the three Evil Gods..."

You Su temporarily had no desire to form a subordinate army, and hesitantly asked:

"But how do I turn him into my subordinate?"

I can’t just let him refine my essence...

"The Power of the True God has already fused with you. You only need to feed him your blood, and he will naturally become your subordinate. Of course, this is the lowest and least costly method of subordination. You can also feed him your flesh; the closer to the heart, the more valuable, and the deeper the subordination. However, all of these will turn the subordinate into a wicked being. As for the highest-level subordinates, they involve sharing your Primordial Qi, making subordinates that won’t become wicked and exist independently, second only to the True God."

Huijun paused and then explained in simpler terms:

"You could understand it as the former are citizens of the True God, whereas the latter are trusted companions of the True God."

You Su secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The degree of subordination determines the connection between the subordinate and the master. He had always worried that becoming his subordinate would harm his junior sister and Xueruo, but from Huijun’s explanation, it seems there are no negative effects on them at least.

"Just a few drops of blood can bring him back to life?"

"Don’t underestimate the Power of the True God. You are now far from a true True God, so you can’t feel it. It doesn’t even need a few drops, one is enough. But you must make him believe in you! Whether through coercion or tempting with benefits, you must make him believe you are his only master; otherwise, you cannot dislodge the position of that previous Evil Spirit in his heart."

You Su stood frozen, his mind suddenly struck by a unique battle style only he could achieve...

Although he was good at fighting, he had never done anything to scare someone.

"If you understand, go out. He’s almost dead."

"Wait! How much does Mr. He know about the World Purification Sect?"

Huijun was momentarily stunned before replying:

"The more you know, the quicker you die. He’s still far from truly reaching the core of the World Purification Sect."

"Then... could you find an excuse to kick him out? The cost is that I will always stay in the World Purification Sect."

Huijun’s shadow froze in place: "Why do you want to kick him out?"

"Mr. He is just a fervent man who wants to eliminate evil and save the world, perhaps the World Purification Sect isn’t suitable for him."

You Su certainly wasn’t foolish enough to believe whatever Huijun told him. He was doubtful about whether the World Purification Sect was as great as it was made out to be.

A sect whose founding tenet is based on an uncertain ambition, You Su found it hard to believe there wasn’t another agenda to it.

"We’ll discuss this later; let’s deal with what’s in front of us first." Huijun said casually.

After speaking, the shadow dissipated like a cloud as if Huijun voluntarily cut off the connection.

You Su quickly withdrew his Spiritual Sense, and He Kongyue was looking at him with concern.

"Did Lord Huijun teach you the method?"

You Su nodded and took out a low-grade Qi Supplement Elixir from the Qiankun Bag, saying:

"This pill is sufficient."

He Kongyue was clearly incredulous and said:

"If it’s a Qi Supplement Elixir, I have high-grade ones here, use mine."

You Su shook his head, "Mr. He is unaware, Huijun specifically instructed me to use only low-grade ones. There must be some herbs in this low-grade pill that the high-grade ones don’t have, but can have a special effect on wickedness. An elephant can easily trample a person but fears ants that humans can easily crush, perhaps this low-grade pill is similar in reason."

Having said that, even though He Kongyue was skeptical, he could only believe You Su, thankfully saying:

"Fortunately, Mr. You kept low-grade pills in reserve. No wonder Lord Huijun told you and not me, I guess I should keep some low-grade pills on hand in the future."

You Su had calculated that this noble young master wouldn’t keep such low-grade pills, so he dared to deceive.

He secretly used Profound Qi to prick his index finger, then pressed the blood-stained Qi Supplement Elixir in his hand over Huo Yuandi’s face.

"Do you remember who I am?"

Huo Yuandi’s eyes were almost popping out, he nodded with all his might, his gaze no longer daring to show any hatred, but full of pleading.

"I can save you, but you must listen to me! Answer whatever I ask you later!"

You Su struggled to intimidate the half-dead corpse.

Suddenly, a flash of light arced as half of Huo Yuandi’s arm was chopped off, leaving a smooth stump, with the remaining little blood seeping from it.

The one who harmed him was none other than He Kongyue, who had suddenly used a skill.

"I asked you a question! Didn’t you hear! He is your savior! He can save your life, or take it anytime!"

He Kongyue shouted hysterically, You Su felt like he was meeting this person for the first time.

Mr. He probably doesn’t often engage in such bullying, does he...

Disregarding the intense pain in his left hand, Huo Yuandi squirmed a bit to show his response.

Seeing Mr. He act so ruthlessly, You Su couldn’t lose his momentum either; he casually threw the pill to the ground:

"If you agree, crawl over like a dog begging for mercy and eat it yourself."

He Kongyue raised his eyebrows, giving You Su a look, as if seeing him for the first time too.

You Su wouldn’t often do something like making others act like dogs, would he...

Huo Yuandi hesitated not for a moment. He mustered all his energy, grazing his face against the ground until half his skin was gone, revealing a bloody skull. But he was unable to reach the pill even with all his effort, leaving him completely exhausted. He stretched his tongue as far as he could, driven by a strong survival instinct, trying to reach the pill.

But the pill was just like the Immortal Sword he could never reach, always unattainable. Just as the great person he had aspired to be from the most humble point, when he thought he could command the wind and rain, was still trampled like an ant underfoot by someone he looked down upon.

I refuse to accept this...

Will someone help me...

I’ll acknowledge you as my father, my grandfather, my ancestor...

Just as he was in despair, You Su casually kicked the Qi Supplement Elixir, sending it rolling into Huo Yuandi’s mouth along with the mud and sand.

Huo Yuandi’s eyes widened, and the look he gave You Su changed again, no longer filled with hatred or pleading, but with a near pathologic gratitude, as though he was gazing at his savior deity.

He scarcely chewed, swallowing the pill whole with the last of his strength.

A moment later, Huo Yuandi’s body began to stir; he started to grow flesh out of thin air, inflating the dry skin.

You Su peeked into his Sea of Consciousness and, indeed, discovered the shadow of the golden silkworm, with Huo Yuandi’s disgusting face added below the black line of subordinates.

At this moment, Huo Yuandi rolled over abruptly, screaming in terror:

"Save me! Mr. Chengying is not human... she’s going to eat us!!"
