Work Hard for Me to Repay Your Debt

Pangu Hall.

Looking at Wangshu's Remnant Soul, Zhou Ming got straight to the point.

Actually, my conditions are very simple.

"The first one, as you already know, is helping me evolve the world."

"The second condition is that if my Wu Clan clashes with the Heavenly Dao again in the future, you must stand on the side of my Wu Clan and lend us a helping hand."

After hearing Zhou Ming's conditions, Wangshu did not respond immediately.

After a moment, she finally spoke.

"Just these two conditions?"

"That simple?"

Zhou Ming looked at her calmly and nodded slightly.

"That's right, it's that simple."

Wangshu's Remnant Soul fell into a long silence.

After a long while, she spoke again.

"Fellow Daoist, you're not joking with me, are you?"

"With the strength of your Wu Clan, and the protection of Pangu's Will, even the Heavenly Dao is no match for you."

"With your current strength, do you really need the Remnant Soul of Chaos Demon God to help you?"

"I think things might not be that simple."

A smile appeared on Zhou Ming's face.

"As expected, I couldn't hide it from you, fellow Daoist."

Wangshu was speechless for a moment.

Is there any need to hide it?

Isn't this obvious?

Your Wu Clan has become so powerful that you still need to ask me, a Chaos Demon God who is only a Remnant Soul, for help. It would be strange if there wasn't something wrong with that.

Zhou Ming continued speaking.

"Fellow Daoist, you may not know this, but if it were in the past, I would indeed be confident that my Wu Clan would not fear the Heavenly Dao in the slightest."

"But now... I'm really not sure if my Wu Clan can overcome the Heavenly Dao."

These words successfully piqued Wangshu's curiosity, and she looked at Zhou Ming with a puzzled expression.

"Oh?"

"What exactly happened that made you, fellow Daoist, feel that we cannot overcome the Heavenly Dao?"

Zhou Ming's expression turned serious.

"Because the Heavenly Dao has developed its own consciousness."

Zhou Ming then told Wangshu everything about how the Heavenly Dao gave birth to consciousness, as well as Hongjun's speculations and worries.

After hearing all this, Wangshu's Remnant Soul fell into a long silence, and the atmosphere in the hall became oppressive.

It took her a long time to process this shocking news.

"I see."

"No wonder you were so worried that the Heavenly Dao would tamper with me, and you insisted on having Pangu's Will inspect me before you were at ease."

"I initially thought you were worried that Hongjun was plotting against you from behind, but I never imagined... that the truly terrifying thing is the Heavenly Dao itself."

She still felt something was off.

"But even so, fellow Daoist, you don't need to worry so much, do you?"

"After all, your Wu Clan is protected by the Pangu's Will. The Heavenly Dao Will dares not descend upon the Primordial Land. What can He do to you?"

Zhou Ming let out a long sigh, the sound echoing in the hall, carrying a sense of helplessness.

"Alas, to be honest, fellow Daoist..."

"The reason I'm so worried is because... the will of the Father God is gradually fading away."

"And the Heavenly Dao is also waiting for the day when the Father God's Will completely dissipates."

"Since He dares to wait like this, it means He is absolutely confident that He can deal with my Wu Clan after the Father God's Will dissipates."

"What?"

Wangshu's Remnant Soul trembled violently, revealing an unprecedented astonishment.

"Is Pangu's will... fading away?"

The Pangu's Will is the greatest trump card of the Wu Clan, and the fundamental reason why Heavenly Dao Wu Clan dares not easily provoke them.

If Pangu's Will is gone, the Wu Clan will be in grave danger.

After the initial shock, Wangshu's Remnant Soul gradually calmed down.

"That's normal..."

"Pangu has been gone for countless eons."

"It's a miracle that his willpower has lasted this long before showing signs of waning."

A complex emotion appeared on Zhou Ming's face.

"Yes, Father God has protected us, his descendants, for far too long."

"The road ahead is ultimately ours to walk."

"Therefore, I must accumulate enough power to deal with the threat from the Heavenly Dao before the Father God's Will completely dissipates."

"Besides developing the strength of our own Wu Clan, the best way is to unite all forces that can be united."

"Whether they are Chaos Demon God or Innate Divine, as long as they can fight against the Heavenly Dao together, they are allies of my Wu Clan."

Wangshu finally understood.

"I see."

"It seems this is the real reason why you, fellow Daoist, are willing to go to such lengths to help me recover."

She was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked again.

"But aren't you afraid that I might renege on my promise once I regain my strength?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ming laughed instead.

"Well, I'm not too worried about that."

"Fellow Daoist, don't forget your identity! You are the Chaos Demon God!"

Even if you don't want to clash with the Heavenly Dao, do you think the Heavenly Dao will let you off the hook?

"Your Law Origin Essence of a Chaos Demon God is also of great benefit to Him."

"If Heavenly Dao's power is insufficient, it might allow you to leave the Primordial Wilderness."

"But once He has enough power, how could He possibly let you leave?"

"So, we've been in the same boat from the very beginning."

Zhou Ming paused for a moment, then continued.

"And..."

"After your recovery, it will take a long time for you to regain your strength."

"I don't think you, Fellow Daoist, could recover your strength to a level stronger than mine at that time."

"Since your strength cannot surpass mine, what do I have to worry about?"

Of course, there was one more thing Zhou Ming didn't say.

Do you really think my things are so easy to take?

You took my money and now you want to run away?

Can they escape?

From now on, you'd better work diligently to pay off my debts.

Wangshu fell silent.

She had to admit that what Zhou Ming said was true.

The Heavenly Dao will never let any Chaos Demon God escape.

Cooperation offers a glimmer of hope.

Non-cooperation means certain death!

"Fellow Daoist is right. If the Heavenly Dao is powerful enough, it certainly won't let a Chaos Demon God like me go."

She no longer hesitated.

"I agree to your terms, fellow Daoist."

"If you can help me recover, I will then assist your Wu Clan in resisting the Heavenly Dao."

Zhou Ming nodded in satisfaction.

"Very well, fellow Daoist has made the wisest choice."

"Now, can you tell me what you need to fully recover?"

Wangshu began to explain her needs.

"For me to achieve a complete recovery, I need a great deal of Fortune and Merit."

"Merit... the best is Merit from the Great Dao."
