Lu Yin chuckled. "One old friend after another has come to make a deal with me. I can barely keep up."
"My deal is worth more than anyone else's."
"That still depends on whether I can afford it."
"Don't be so lacking in confidence. You're the one who buried the Six Luminaries. Even that old geezer Lord Mi trusted you enough to take a tribulation for you. Now you control both the Human Yao Domain and the Wang Family Yao Domain. When you face that old bastard Shi Chu head-on, I believe you can do it."
Lu Yin fell silent.
Thousand Machine Strange Performance leaned closer and spoke in a low voice. "Help me take the next step."
Lu Yin looked at it. "Are you joking?"
"Do I look like I joke around?"
"You always do."
"Fine. I'm not joking this time. I want you to help me take the next step. Otherwise, I'll be in trouble."
"How so?"
"That old bastard Shi Chu spread his understanding around. Unfortunately, I didn't get any of it, but Wang Wen, Xiang Siyu, and the others did. That won't do. If I fall even a little behind them, I could easily get killed." It paused, then continued, "You have no idea. I lost a bet to Wang Wen. If I hadn't run fast enough, I'd really have been killed. That bastard Wang Wen wants to devour me."
Lu Yin was taken aback. "Devour you?"
Thousand Machine Strange Performance rolled its eyes. "Don't rush me. I haven't finished. He wants to devour my fantasy."
"What do you mean?" Lu Yin's expression turned serious. He had always wondered what kind of relationship Wang Wen and Thousand Machine Strange Performance had. It was definitely not simple.
"You know the Three Spirits Method, right?"
Lu Yin recalled
