Chapter 352 - Six-Path Flower: Welcome to Hell
After hearing Lu Ran’s words, Emperor Yun inwardly cursed him.
Just because he’s contracted the Six-Path Flower, he thinks he can float around without a care? And now he’s claiming the Six-Path Flower told him to commit evil deeds?
Emperor Yun would stake his life on it—while the Six-Path Flower might indeed have instructed Lu Ran to do evil, it certainly wasn’t only evil deeds. It had to be a mix of good and evil. But generally, doing good was far more difficult than doing evil. Yet here he was, immediately thinking of extorting resources from the great imperial families.
Emperor Yun was convinced that Lu Ran’s heart was crooked. But from Lu Ran’s perspective, this was simply the most efficient way to grow stronger. In twenty days or so, everything would return to dust anyway. Why not just let him take the resources with him?
“Don’t even think about it. With the Six-Path Flower protecting you, I don’t need to worry about your safety. The frontlines are engulfed in constant battles, and people suffer everywhere. I’ll send you to the battlefield. Use your power to help the suffering civilians and accumulate merit.
“Every military achievement you earn, I’ll reward you tenfold in resources to help you grow stronger quickly. As my disciple, you must uphold your principles and integrity. If I ever catch you committing evil, I’ll be the first to punish you,” Emperor Yun warned.
“Master, I was just joking...” Lu Ran sighed.
Truthfully, most participants who entered an ascension realm didn’t treat it as a real world. To them, it was just a game. Many people wouldn’t care if they killed someone or stole something in a game.
While Lu Ran couldn’t bring himself to slaughter innocents or kidnap women, pulling off a bluff to swindle some resources or collect gifts was fine to him. It was just part of the game’s rules. But seeing how serious his imperial master was, Lu Ran began to reconsider.
“Then, Master, I’ll head to the frontlines in a few days.”
Now that he’d successfully contracted the Six-Path Flower, meeting the other guardian beasts didn’t matter much.
