Chapter 547 Return
Become...the inheritor of the magic sickle system?
Xin Lailai was startled when she heard what Yuan said, and then she heard Yuan continue:

"I know what you are worried about, but I can guarantee that if you are willing to accept the Demon Scythe inheritance, I will find a way to prepare an item that can improve your qualifications so that you will not be stuck at the door of the strongest. As for the road ahead, the Demon Scythe inheritance also contains a secret method to increase the upper limit of one's own attribute potential by killing abyssal creatures. Therefore, as long as you can reach the strongest, you don't need to worry about the road ahead."

"Including her, I have learned a little bit about you from 04296, so if you feel that the Demonic Scythe inheritance is not suitable for two people, there is a twin Demonic Scythe in the Demonic Scythe system. You can choose it as your own exclusive Demonic Scythe. If you can do it, you can even use it to devour other Demonic Scythes that no one is using. Of course, the risk of doing so is very high, so I don't recommend doing so before you reach absolute strength."

Yuan said as he slowly took off his hood, revealing his face wrapped in bandages and his pair of dark purple eyes. He looked at Xin Lailai and Ling Yuzi in front of him and said:

"Well, as long as you agree, I can guarantee that you don't need to accept the inheritance immediately. Instead, you can wait until I have collected the items that are suitable for your use at this stage before switching to the path of the magic sickle."

After saying that, Yuan looked at the two people in front of him calmly, waiting for their reply. When Xin Lailai heard the conditions given by the other party, she fell silent.

"..."

In fact, when the other party just opened his mouth, he thought that the other party was just joking, or he just wanted to recruit them because he saw that they had good willpower. After all, the core attribute of the magic sickle system is willpower. He has learned a little about this from various materials, so he would not lose his composure just because of a recruitment.

But when Yuan put forward all the conditions, Xin Lailai understood that the other party was not joking or just talking casually, but really hoped that they could change their profession to become magic sickles, and even helped them collect those rare treasures that could improve their qualifications.

To be honest, the other party's conditions are already very tempting, not to mention that the other party is a living top-notch powerhouse. Just having such a backer can be said to be of great benefit to their future path, not to mention the value of the magic sickle inheritance itself.

only……

"Um... Senior Yuan, can I ask why you think so highly of us? As far as I know, although the magic sickle system has high requirements for willpower, it also attaches great importance to talents related to abyss resistance. In addition, the technical talent of sickle blade cannot be too low. From these perspectives, we should not be worthy of your paying such a high price to recruit us?"

After a brief silence, Xin Lailai took a deep breath, looked up at Yuan in front of him, met his gaze neither humbly nor arrogantly, and asked.

Just as he said, the Magic Scythe System does have high requirements for willpower, but this does not mean that the Magic Scythe System only looks at willpower when selecting inheritors. Otherwise, you only need to go to those battlefields that are tragic enough and go to those worlds that are difficult enough, and you will find as many people with low strength but strong willpower as you want.

For the Demon Scythe inheritance, willpower is more like a requirement for the upper limit of performance. As for its real entry standard, it should actually depend on whether the opponent has talents related to abyss resistance.

After all, the assessment standard of the magic sickle is to crawl out of the area eroded by the abyss. Given the horror of the abyss, if there is no relevant resistance talent, ordinary low-level contractors will have to burp in it without relying on external forces, no matter how strong their willpower is.

Just like when he was eroded by the abyss before, if he didn't have the resurrection items that could perfectly reshape his body, and if he hadn't prepared that basket of props and equipment, he would have been trapped and died in the abyss ocean.

To put it bluntly, whether or not one has the talent to resist the erosion of abyssal energy is the key to determining whether or not a person can become a magic sickle. Only when this basic condition is met, the attribute of willpower is meaningful to discuss for the magic sickle. Otherwise, let alone unleashing the power of the magic sickle system, even swinging the magic sickle normally would require one to worry about whether or not his body would mutate because it could not withstand the erosion.

"You are wrong. I hope you can become a demon sickle not just because of your high willpower."

Facing Xin Lailai's question, Yuan just shook his head slightly, then stared into the other party's dark pupils and said:

"Willpower is indeed very important for a Scythe, but in fact, when you reach a high enough level, you will understand that willpower, abyss resistance, and even the so-called technical qualifications and attribute potential limits, these things on paper are ultimately just accumulation items that can be changed through various means."

"What really determines the upper limit of a demon sickle is always the choice they make when facing the abyss, and the determination to never succumb to the abyss. This is the key to restricting the height a demon sickle can reach, and it is also the reason why I really like you."

"Xin Lailai, I see potential in you. Even though you have many innate deficiencies, my intuition tells me that if you become a Demon Scythe, you may be able to break the 'curse' that has existed for several epochs in the Demon Scythe lineage, and allow a Demon Scythe who truly reaches the 'peak' realm to appear in the star realm."

Yuan said this calmly, but the burning look in his dark purple pupils could not be concealed.

That’s right, as the strongest person at the top, the reason why he is so interested in the other party is because of the potential shown by the other party.

Precisely because he has reached the current height, he is more aware of the fatal flaws in the magic sickle system. He is also more aware that although he is fully confident of becoming the most powerful super-top, he will never be able to truly reach the "peak" in his lifetime.

In other words, if he insists on moving forward, then the moment he reaches the "peak" will be the moment he loses everything as a "human" and falls into the "abyss".

"Make your choice, Xin Lailai. I can guarantee that as long as you choose the path of the Demon Scythe, the resources of the entire Demon Scythe inheritance will be tilted towards you."

Yuan's words rang out from the ward. Xin Lailai heard it, closed her eyes lightly, was silent for a while, opened her eyes again, took a long breath, looked at Yuan in front of her, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly:

"I'm sorry, Senior Yuan, I... still prefer to continue on this path."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Yuan fell silent. For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire ward seemed to become somewhat depressing. After a while, he spoke again:

"Can I ask why you refused?"

He thought that the conditions he offered were generous enough and that he had considered everything comprehensively.

"Well, please forgive me for being frank..."

Xin Lailai heard Yuan's question, hesitated for a while, looked into his eyes, said something apologetically, and then continued:
"The conditions offered by the senior are indeed very generous, and they are very tempting to me, but..."

"Compared to adapting myself to the devil's sickle in exchange for stronger power and upper limit, I prefer this narrow path that I have walked on my own, so I can only thank you for your kindness."

Xin Lailai spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice. Although the words he used were very euphemistic, there was no flattery or fawning on his face. Instead, he was unusually firm.

That’s right, the conditions offered by Yuan were indeed very tempting, especially for them who had already reached the upper limit of the current stage and began to clearly feel the gap between themselves and the Death Bearer and others.

However, because of this, he could not agree to the other party's conditions.

Precisely because the devil's sickle is so powerful, he cannot choose this path.

because……

Once he chooses this path, it means that he is destined to never surpass those people who possess an inheritance that is not inferior to the Demonic Scythe... or even more powerful than the Demonic Scythe, and whose own talents and qualifications are perfectly in line with the inheritance!

"Perhaps this may sound ridiculous to you, senior. I am very grateful that you have placed such high hopes on me, but..."

"If possible, even if there is only a slight chance, I don't want to stop at the 'peak', but want to get a glimpse of the scenery at a higher level."

The words fell.

For a moment, the entire ward suddenly became quiet.

Xin Lailai met Yuan's gaze calmly, with no sign of wavering in his dark pupils. 04296, who was standing next to him, smiled, Kagus stroked his beard and smiled, while Yuan stared into Xin Lailai's eyes. After a moment of silence, he sighed softly:

"If that's the case, then there's nothing we can do..."

He did not say anything about the possibility of reaching the "peak" by choosing the Demon Scythe. After all, no matter which path you choose, if you want to reach that height, you must reach the extreme in every aspect and make every detail perfectly fit yourself. If Xin Lailai changes his job to the Demon Scythe, it is obviously impossible to meet this condition.

In other words, if one day, there really is an existence in the Demon Scythe lineage who reaches the realm above the "peak", then that person must have the same ambition as the black-haired young man in front of him, and possess a 100% or even 200% compatibility with the Demon Scythe system, rather than a person with only a 10% or even negative compatibility to achieve this.

After all, if there really is someone who is not very compatible with the Magic Scythe System but can still reach that height with the Magic Scythe System, it means that if the other person takes other routes that are more compatible with himself, the achievements he will achieve will only be higher. In other words, he should not delay himself in the Magic Scythe System.

"Well, when I think about it carefully, I was indeed a little too self-centered and didn't really consider your feelings."

Yuan sighed, shook his head slightly, and gave up the idea of persuading Xin Lailai.

He knew very well in his heart that the reason why he wanted the other party to become the Demon Scythe was actually just because he hoped that the Demon Scythe could give birth to a "peak" of its own, rather than really considering it from the other party's perspective.

"However, since we have met, it would be a bit inappropriate to leave like this. This secret method can be regarded as my personal apology gift to you."

Finally, Yuan took out a very old-looking manuscript from his storage space and handed it to Xin Lailai.

"This... I will be very grateful to you."

Upon seeing this, Xin Lailai's pupils shrank slightly when he saw the description of the items in the manuscript. Instead of refusing, he stretched out his hands respectfully and took the manuscript sensibly.

In any case, this time he was just a low-level contractor who rejected a top-notch person who had been waiting for him for a month. At this time, the other party suddenly gave him something. With Xin Lailai's emotional intelligence, he would naturally not be stupid enough to continue to refuse.

——If a big boss offers you benefits, refusing once is considered a last resort, but refusing twice is considered a lack of respect.

"Well, in that case, I will go back first. If you meet someone related to the Demon Scythe lineage in the future, you can show this item as proof. In the words of Master Bai from your paradise, it can be considered as a good relationship."

Yuan said as he placed a small broken blade pendant on the bedside table and then disappeared from the spot.

Xin Lailai looked at the place where Yuan disappeared. After a long while, she put away the manuscript and the broken blade pendant in her hand, lay down on the hospital bed, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Haha, do you finally feel relieved? Lao Yuan is like that. He looks aloof, but he is actually stubborn. Others have advised him many times, but he just won't listen. He has to invite you guys personally before he gives up."

04296, who was standing nearby, saw this scene, laughed heartily twice, and teased Xin Lailai.

"Brother, you... at least tell us the whole story first. A top-notch person suddenly showed up, and I'm almost scared to death."

Xin Lailai shrugged helplessly and complained.

"Haha, isn't this a surprise for you two? Okay, I'll go back first. We have a lot of guests to invite this time, so I have to prepare some good wine first, in case there's not enough to drink!" "Well, take care, brother Ritian."

Finally, after 04296 spoke briefly, he activated the paradise's teleportation authority as Xin Lailai watched, and disappeared from the spot with a buzz. Only Kagus was left standing at the door, staring at them with his eyes downcast.

"Um... Mr. Kagus?"

"Don't think too much. I just happened to help Mr. 83203 to do something in the void, and I just happened to come to your place to see you for a few days. After all, he is still my disciple, so I have to see if he is alive or dead."

"Well, I see. I thought you had something to say, Mr. Kagus."

Xin Lailai looked at Kagus, who had already explained a long series of things before he said anything, coughed lightly, and said casually. At the same time, a message prompt from Ling Yuzi appeared on his brand interface:
...

Ling Yuzi: "Lai Lai, does it feel like Mr. Kagus is being tsundere?"

Xin Lailai: "I can't help it. After all, Mr. Kagus is an old man. It's normal to give him some face."

...

——Ever since he learned that powerful soul masters could hear the sound of him and Ling Yuzi communicating with each other through souls, he and Ling Yuzi have formed the habit of communicating directly with the mark of paradise whenever they meet powerful masters like Kagus.

"So, um... Mr. Kagus, if there's nothing else, we can go back first?"

Then, Xin Lailai looked at Kagus, who was stroking his goat beard in front of him, and asked tentatively.

"Well, let's go. I have some things to do here."

Upon hearing this, Kagus showed no strange expression on his face. He just nodded very calmly. After saying a word, he walked directly out of the ward.

But when he walked to the door, he suddenly stopped, turned his head and glanced at Xin Lailai lying on the bed and Ling Yuzi sitting on her, and suddenly said:

"There is one more thing, Xin Lailai, Ling Yuzi..."

"Happy 'coming of age'."

After saying that, Kagus walked away without looking back, leaving only a solid back to Xin Lailai.

When Xin Lailai heard the words left by Kagus, he was stunned at first, then a gentle smile appeared on his face and he shook his head helplessly.

"Really? Please let us reply before we leave."

As Xin Lailai spoke, he looked at his own branding interface, looked at the list of contacts that had been fully restored, selected Kagus's name, sent a message, then directly opened the permission list, selected the return notification that had been shelved for a month, and pressed confirm.

[Reminder: "Sanctuary Paradise" is about to return, please prepare for the transfer]

A familiar cold voice sounded in Xin Lailai's mind. Xin Lailai looked at the transmission prompt interface in front of him, and for the first time, an inexplicable sense of familiarity arose in his heart.

【Transmission starts】

The next second, the light of space transmission flashed by, and his and Ling Yuzi's figures disappeared directly on the hospital bed.
