With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Chapter 949 Land under Death Valley (3)

"To break the seal, we'll need both a source of life and death energy. The life energy will help revive our spirits and the death energy will help preserve our bodies that have suffered damages. As long as you're able to find a strong source of life energy, then we'll be able to revive ourselves." The voice said without a single care of the worried look on Lin Fan's face.

Lin Fan couldn't help feeling a bit disturbed when he heard this, but he didn't show it on his face this time.

After all, he already had this source of life energy.

It was the Nine Lives Tree that was inside of his Pet Storage Space.

Though it was in the Pet Storage Space, he was still able to pull the life energy that it released from it for his own personal use because of the connection with the Pet Storage Space.

That meant that as long as he willed it, he would be able to provide a large amount of life energy.

As long as he wanted, he would already be able to help the owner of this voice.

But that didn't mean that he wanted to.

He had no idea who the owner of this voice even was in the first place, so it wasn't as if he was about to help this person without finding that out. There was still the chance that this person might harm him if he were to help them.

After the voice finished explaining what needed to be done, it said in a slightly disappointed tone, "But to find something like that, it's hard enough already. So unless you're lucky, it'll take a while for you to find a source of life energy that powerful."

A trace of relief filled Lin Fan's heart when he heard this.

At the very least, it didn't seem like the owner of the voice was able to feel the presence of the Nine Lives Tree in his Pet Storage Space.

He already knew that they wouldn't be able to since the Pet Storage Space was a separate space that was given to him by the system. The power of the system surpassed the limits of this world, so it wasn't strange that the owner of this voice wasn't able to find it.

The voice didn't say anything else, it seemed like it was waiting for a response from Lin Fan.

Only Lin Fan didn't say anything as he stood there silently.

In the end, he broke the silence by asking, "What are you prepared to offer in return for helping you?"

The voice didn't respond right away.

It remained silent almost as if it was considering something.

Then all of a sudden, the voice said, "Don't you think that helping us is enough of a reward already? You should know that we are cultivators that come from a time that is far beyond yours, the knowledge that we possess is knowledge that has been lost to your time. It's something that you can't get even if you're lucky. Don't you consider yourself lucky that you have a chance to obtain this knowledge?"

"Is that so?" Lin Fan asked in a calm voice.

The voice didn't say anything in response.

It was clear that the owner of the voice was completely caught off guard by the way that Lin Fan was acting.

But Lin Fan also had his own thoughts because of what the voice had said.

Everything that the voice had said was a clear red flag.

It seemed that there were parts that were the truth and there were parts that were lies.

But out of all the things that the voice said, the most important thing was its attitude towards Lin Fan.

It was clear that the owner of this voice was a very arrogant person who believed that the world should bend to their will. That meant that if Lin Fan were to help this person, it was very likely that they would stab him in the back or try to take everything that he had.

There was a long moment of silence before the voice asked, "What do you want?"

"What do you have?" Lin Fan asked without any hesitation.

The voice was once again silent for a long while before saying, "I would consider this a personal favour if you helped me revive myself."

Lin Fan gave a simple nod before turning around to leave without another word.

"Wait, wait, wait!" The voice shouted as soon as Lin Fan started to leave.

There was a real sense of urgency and a hint of bitterness that was in that voice as it spoke. As well, there was a trace of disbelief as if the owner of the voice couldn't believe that Lin Fan would be so decisive in this matter.

Lin Fan didn't bother waiting even though the voice was calling out to him.

He just calmly continued to walk towards the exit of this temple, but the pace that he was walking at wasn't fast or slow. He was just walking at a calm and collected pace, as if he was giving time for the other side to do something.

There was a spear that suddenly appeared in the air above Lin Fan.

The moment that this spear appeared, Lin Fan couldn't help slightly knitting his brows.

That was because he could sense the aura coming from the spear.

With his experience, he could tell that this spear was an artifact in the Nascent Soul Realm. But at the same time, he could tell that this spear was something that had been kept in storage for a long time, so it had degraded to a certain extent.

If it were to be repaired, it was likely that it would even reach the Soul Formation Realm.

This was without a doubt a powerful artifact, but the fact that the owner of this voice owned such an artifact was a demonstration of how strong he was.

The owner of the artifact really was someone who was from the ancient times, he was someone that had been quite powerful in the past.

If he were to come back to life, then there was no doubt that it would be bad for Lin Fan.

Only, Lin Fan didn't plan on reviving him.

From the very beginning, he had already put the owner of this voice on the do not revive list after how the owner of the voice acted. At this point, he was only just playing along to see how the owner of the voice would react.

At the same time, he wanted to get as much information as he could from the owner of the voice.

As for what came after…

After a moment of silence, the voice spoke again.

That moment of silence seemed to be for Lin Fan to properly take in the power of the spear that had appeared. It was as if the owner of the voice was trying to bait Lin Fan with the power of the spear.

"This is yours if you make a vow to the heavens that you will help revive me." The voice said in a serious tone.

Though Lin Fan could hear the traces of hostility in the voice.

It was as if they were angry at him for pushing them this far.

But Lin Fan just ignored it as he focused on the spear in front of him.

This spear was covered in flames, which showed that it was some kind of flame attributed artifact.

This was certainly a powerful artifact no matter how Lin Fan looked at it.

It was just that he knew that there was nothing that was free in this world.

As the voice had said, he had to swear a vow to the heavens if he wanted this artifact. If he were to do that, that meant that if he ever broke that vow, then he would be struck down by the heavens themselves.

Unless he reached the immortal realm, that would be impossible to do.

At the same time, the voice wasn't worried that Lin Fan would run off with the artifact.

Lin Fan could tell that there was some kind of connection between this artifact and the temple that he was in. That meant that this artifact was most likely already soulbound to the owner of the voice.

Even if he would be able to use it since he had the approval of the owner of the voice, he wouldn't be able to keep this artifact forever.

The moment that the owner of the voice was freed, there was no doubt that they would take the artifact back and it would be easy to do since it was a soulbound artifact.

After a moment of deliberation, Lin Fan gave a simple nod and reached out for the artifact.

Only before he could take it, the voice said, "Make the vow."

"What is your name?" Lin Fan calmly asked back.

"Huo Mu Chen." The voice replied.

"I vow to the heavens to free Huo Mu Chen from this tomb one day." Lin Fan calmly said in response before saying, "Is that enough?"

The voice didn't say anything at first, but then the spear slowly came down towards Lin Fan's hand.

Lin Fan calmly reached out for the spear before taking it firmly in his hand and using his spiritual energy to probe it. He found that with a single thought, he would be able to create a sea of flames in this room.

That was just how powerful this flaming spear was.

He was very satisfied with this.

As for the vow that he made, he had only said that he would do it one day.

As for when that day would come…

Well, that was up to him, wasn't it?
