"Ha-ha," Darren chuckled sarcastically. "Did you really think it'd be that simple?"
"Then what do you want?" the Purple-crystal King asked exasperatedly.
"Only two things. First, share all the secrets about becoming a chief god with the Rule Soul Avatar. Second, stand by my side and solve any troubles that come my way," Darren proposed.
"No way in hell! How would that make me any different from a slave?" The Purple-crystal King shook his head profusely. He could deal with sharing his secrets with the Rule Soul Avatar, but he couldn't stand the idea of being Darren's slave.
"Think it over. If you could really become a chief god one day, you wouldn't be bound by any vows," Darren reminded. He meant to say that as long as the Purple-crystal King became a chief god, he would be completely free. He could even kill Darren if he was capable of doing so.
The Purple-crystal King paused, successfully swayed by Darren's words.
In the mortal world, his growth was stagnant. It was already difficult for him to break through to the Star God Realm, not to mention the higher realms.
But if he could return to the Primitive Wilderness, he would have the chance to grow quickly. Moreover, it would be possible for him to collect the other parts of the Chief God Character and become a chief god recognized by heaven and earth. By then, nothing could get in his way, unless the strongest Balance Law in the Primitive Wilderness descended.
"Okay then. I agree to your terms." The Purple-crystal King nodded after thinking it over.
"You're wise. Swear your allegiance to me first. Then, when you go to the Primitive Wilderness later, you can swear to the Rule Soul Avatar."
Darren knew his plan was foolproof. When they arrived in the Primitive Wilderness, the Rule Soul Avatar and the Twelve Great Witchers would be able to determine whether the oath made by the Purple-crystal King was effective or not. If the oath was invalid, Darren, the Rule Soul Avatar and the Twelve Great Witchers would kill the Purple-crystal King on the spot and then take the fragment of the Chief God Character.
Since he had made up his mind, the Purple-crystal King didn't hesitate any further. Right then and there, he made an oath according to Darren's requirements.
"All right. From now on, we are allies," Darren declared firmly. "The first order of business: to destroy all the purple-crystal creatures that are stronger than ordinary."
"Sure,"
the Purple-crystal King said immediately.
To him, these people were nothing but tools used to plunder resources for the purpose of growing stronger and entering the Primitive Wilderness one day.
Now that he had reached an agreement with Darren, in his eyes, these purple-crystal creatures were useless.
Boom! Boom!
The purple light suddenly burst out and filled the void. When the light faded, the remaining purple-crystal creatures had all dissipated.
In addition, the Purple-crystal King also released his unique god's sense to wipe out all the purple-crystal creatures on the Purple-crystal Continent that were stronger than the Emperor Realm.
"Find a place to wait for me. I will let you know when the time comes," Darren instructed the Purple-crystal King.
The Purple-crystal King nodded and then flew away.
"I didn't expect this trip to be so fruitful!" In the room, Darren and the others sat opposite each other.
"Yeah, I didn't expect that the Purple-crystal King would be that powerful," Elsa said. Then, in a concerned voice, she added, "But Darren, your body has been destroyed and you don't have any god's power. What should we do?"
"It doesn't matter. After all, we came back here through the dream. As long as my soul is not destroyed, my body will be able to recover. Besides, we have collected so many herbs, which might be of great help."
"Oh, you're right!" Elsa nodded, her worries dissipating.
"Darren, are you and Elsa going to leave?" Belle's eyes turned red, brimming with tears.
"Well, this was only temporary. We will have to go back soon." Darren decided not to mention anything about the tribulation. He was afraid Belle would worry about him.
"Don't worry, Belle. Your brother and I will come back often to see you and Sunny in the future," Elsa said comfortingly.
