Abyssal Distortion Files

"Master, you've really outdone yourself this time."

"To actually release a Lightless-level being, if that kid angers that Lightless-level monster, I'm afraid even you won't be able to find his corpse…"

Chen Ye smiled faintly upon hearing this, "Didn't you say your judgment of people is very accurate? Since it's so accurate, what's there to worry about?"

"That's true, but…"

"The thing you created this time is a bit too terrifying."

……

19th Affiliated Hospital, Mysterious Flower Shop.

The Revered Spirit Mother sat on a small wooden chair to the side and crossed her legs. Then, she took out a pipe.

A ball of blue ghostly fire appeared, and the pipe was lit from a distance. An even more peculiar fragrance filled the small shop.

"Let me introduce myself. You can call me Qiyouluo."

"I am very interested in the person you mentioned. He sent you to trade with me, but did he tell you what the price of the transaction is?"

As Qiyouluo spoke, she exhaled a puff of purple smoke and blew it onto Zhou Mo's face.

Zhou Mo shook his head, "No."

Qiyouluo looked at him playfully, "You dared to come to me without knowing anything. Should I say you're fearless because of your ignorance?"

"Hmm… but since you're still a virgin, I, your elder sister, won't hold it against you."

Virgin?

The corner of Zhou Mo's mouth twitched. I've never seen anyone so insulting. It's not my fault I don't have a girlfriend…

Seeing Zhou Mo's expression, Qiyouluo couldn't help but laugh, "Haha, little guy, you're really cute. Your face turns red just from a few words."

"It's okay, relax a little. Let your elder sister guide you to open the door to a new world～"

The door to a new world?

Could it be!

Zhou Mo had just thought of certain images when the room in front of him was covered by a layer of eerie and mysterious black mist!

Green gas flowed in the black mist, and Qiyouluo's figure was completely hidden in the mist, "Your elder sister, I, am not human."

Echoes came from the mist, and gradually, many glowing eyes and countless wriggling limbs appeared in the black mist!

Zhou Mo saw this scene and fell straight backward!

Bang!

"Monster?"

Hearing Zhou Mo's words, a chorus of overlapping laughter suddenly echoed in the black mist.

"Hahahaha～"

"That's right. To you, I am a monster, a monster that eats people without spitting out bones. This is the real me, without a trace of beauty."

"Because real things are never beautiful. In this world, beauty only exists in falsehood and fantasy."

"But once you lift the veil, you will find that the so-called beautiful thing in front of you is nothing more than white bones draped in silk."

"This is the real world, both crazy and absurd."

"We exist in the real world, either hidden in the crowd, or living deep in the earth, or slumbering in the deep sea."

"Until one day, some people walked out of the mist and glimpsed our true selves. They feared our appearance, but were curious about our existence and craved our power."

"They are mystics, they are initiates, they sign contracts with us, exchanging a certain price for our power."

"For them, we are their Sovereign Lords, the source of their power. They believe in us, worship us, and raise us high like gods and Buddhas."

"These people are initiates."

"Like the person you mentioned, since he guided you here to trade with me, he is likely a member of the initiates."

Mystic?

Sovereign Lord?

As this information flooded into Zhou Mo's mind, he suddenly recalled what that person had said to him during the day.

"Congratulations, the result of the coin is heads. Your life has changed. Your life will get better and better."

Did he mean this?

Zhou Mo swallowed secretly, "If I want to obtain your power, then… what price do I need to pay?"

"Hahaha～"

A burst of laughter echoed again in the black mist, "I am different from other mysteries. I don't necessarily have to become your Sovereign Lord, because I prefer equivalent exchange."

"As long as you have something I like, you can use it to exchange for the so-called power from me."

"But if you insist on recognizing me as your Sovereign Lord and signing a Sovereign Lord pact with me to obtain my direct power, then… you need to offer a part of your soul."

Offer a soul?

"What is the difference between the two?"

Faceless women transformed from black mist floated over, echoed around Zhou Mo, and gently stroked his face.

"My authority is called Soul Imprisonment and Refinement."

"The flowers blooming in my shop, each one has a rotten corpse buried beneath it. They use their souls to nourish these fragrant herbs."

"The elixirs refined from these soul flowers have many magical uses. For example, they can help humans break through the limits of their mortal bodies and cultivate both their nature and life."

"In simple terms, it can help mortals advance, causing the soul and body to reach the Light Illumination level, or even higher."

"However, no matter what level humans reach, they cannot possess the versatile abilities of mystical things."

"For you, reaching the Light Illumination level is nothing more than having a stronger body, being able to live a little longer, and a soul that is less likely to collapse."

"But it is undeniable that only powerful humans can establish a stable connection with mystical things."

Zhou Mo understood, "In other words, it is meaningless for humans to break through the mortal body. It cannot allow me to obtain any special abilities."

"It just means that the higher the realm of a human, the better they can reach a contract with you?"

Qiyouluo chuckled, "That's right. Besides that, when you reach a high enough realm, the mysteries you encounter will become even more powerful."

"An initiate can only reach a contract with one Sovereign Lord. If you sign a Sovereign Lord contract with me, then you cannot choose another Sovereign Lord."

"In this case, everyone has their own choice. I don't force anyone, so I have my own equivalent exchange contract."

Qiyouluo's meaning was very simple. If Zhou Mo wanted to choose other mystical things as his Sovereign Lord, he could only choose Qiyouluo's equivalent exchange contract.

Because if he chose Qiyouluo as his Sovereign Lord, he could no longer contract with other mystical things.

"Miss Qiyouluo, if I reach a Sovereign Lord contract with you, then what will happen to me if I lose part of my soul… ?"
