Chapter 879: I Demand a Substitution

At this moment, Lin Fan summoned the Celestial Furnace.

This Celestial Furnace was originally a system-built tool, hardly a treasure worth mentioning. Initially meant for forging weapons, it had become Lin Fan’s refuge whenever he encountered insurmountable attacks due to its extreme durability.

As soon as the Celestial Furnace appeared, Lin Fan noticed that the Death God’s eyes widened.

Of course, the Death God was always wrapped in a black robe, so eyes weren’t visible. But in Lin Fan’s imagination, the Death God must have been staring in shock.

“Hey, mighty Death God, what do you think of this treasure?” Lin Fan asked.

“Good,” the Death God replied, his tone showing some excitement.

“Human, you’ve impressed me greatly. Why don’t you pledge allegiance to me? Become my subordinate, and under my protection, no one in this world will dare to harm you,” the Death God said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan blinked. Become your subordinate? Not a chance! But to Lin Fan, the Death God speaking like this clearly indicated that he was dealing with a reasonable being.

Then Lin Fan started pacing, thinking about how to manipulate the situation.

“It would be a great honor to serve the mighty Death God.”

“Hey Death God, do you like spicy strips?” Lin Fan quickly entered the Earth within his inner world, searching for the most delicious food—spicy strips.

“Damn it, Death God, today this Emperor will finish you off properly,” Lin Fan roared inwardly, then started infusing the spicy strips with massive amounts of powerful drugs.

“Great Fan’s Spirit, refine, refine, refine again—make it as pure as possible, then fuse it with the spicy strips!”

“叮! Congratulations on forging one pack of Great Fan Spicy Strips.”

“Spicy strips?” The Death God was momentarily confused, not knowing what they were.

Lin Fan had already successfully refined the spicy strips, filled with infinite hope. He had to stay calm—this time, he absolutely must stay calm.

“Yes, the legendary most delicious spicy strips, the culmination of many years of my efforts.” Lin Fan took them out. The fiery red spicy strips looked incredibly seductive.

The sight of these seductive spicy strips even made Lin Fan involuntarily swallow hard. But thinking about their intended effect, he forced himself to resist.

Once the Death God ate this Emperor’s spicy strips, things would get interesting.

He would hide inside the Celestial Furnace, unleash the ancient great demon, let them fight each other, and then emerge as the ultimate beneficiary.

If he managed to kill the Death God, his cultivation power would surely skyrocket. At that point, he’d be unstoppable.

Currently, although he was at the tenth level of Divine Heaven, the Eternal God Realm, compared to these so-called gods and demons, he still had a long way to go. But if he could kill one, the rest would be much easier.

“Delicious spicy strips.”

At this moment, Lin Fan thought he heard someone swallowing, but he dismissed it as an illusion and didn’t take it seriously.

“Give them to me.” The Death God extended his hand and spoke.

“Of course, obviously low IQ.”

In Lin Fan’s mind, a powerful being like the Death God should be aloof and domineering, ready to kill at the slightest provocation. He never expected to have such an extended conversation with him.

The Death God took the spicy strips, tore open the package, took one out, smelled it, and looked at it carefully.

Then, he lifted the hand hidden beneath the black robe, pulling the hood up slightly, revealing his chin.

“Huh?”

Lin Fan was stunned, feeling somewhat surprised. When he saw that pale, sharp chin, he suddenly sensed something was off.

How could this be?

Wasn’t this supposed to be the Death God?

In Lin Fan’s imagination, the Death God should be a terrifying, hideous creature.

But at this moment, Lin Fan suddenly realized that things were not quite as he had imagined.

This Death God didn’t seem to be as he had thought.

This was a woman.

Granted, he had only seen the chin so far, but from Lin Fan’s years of experience, just from that chin, he could already imagine the entire face.

Pink lips.

Sharp fangs on both sides. That red spicy strip placed into her mouth, gently bitten.

Lin Fan involuntarily swallowed hard.

Something was wrong—definitely something was wrong.

Lin Fan wanted to say something, but at this moment, he swallowed his words.

“What do you think?” Lin Fan asked cautiously.

At this moment, the Death God released the scythe in his hand, then pulled back the hood covering his face, revealing a cascade of red hair as radiant as the sun.

When Lin Fan saw the Death God’s face, his heart skipped a beat.

Holy crap…

Just as he had imagined.

But something was off. The ancient clan’s Death God should resemble the ancient clan’s appearance. How could it look like this?

“Hmm, not bad. I’m quite satisfied,” suddenly, the Death God’s voice changed.

The previous gloomy tone was gone, as if his earlier speech had been altered by a voice changer.

…

Meanwhile, within the inner world.

The ancient great demon had already received Lin Fan’s notice, ready to engage in a fierce battle with the Death God. For the ancient great demon, he had long become an outlet for the side effects of Great Fan.

Although the ancient great demon was a king among demons, he wasn’t someone easily swayed.

In his mind, the Death God should be a skeleton or a monster with an extremely hideous face. But at this moment, seeing the Death God’s face, the ancient great demon couldn’t hold back any longer.

“Master, let me go. Although I am the emperor of the demon race, for your great cause, I am willing to sacrifice myself.”

The ancient great demon spoke with shining eyes.

Red hair, delicate face—had someone told Lin Fan this was the Death God, he wouldn’t have believed it even if they beat him.

Hearing the ancient great demon’s words, Lin Fan coughed lightly. “No need. I’ve thought about it. You’ve done more than enough for me. This matter, I’ll handle it myself.”

“Not enough, not enough, Master! I’m willing! This time, let me go!” the ancient great demon roared.

Lin Fan didn to give the ancient great demon a chance to speak further, immediately sealing off the inner world.

The upcoming situation would surely be intense.

But Lin Fan was already prepared.

“If I don’t go to hell, who will?”

Although the Death God was terrifying, he was a hero saving the world.

If he couldn’t handle even this, how could he proceed on the path ahead?

As time passed, Lin Fan waited quietly.

Until the Death God finished the last spicy strip, Lin Fan knew—the time had finally come.

“Hmm.”

At this moment, the Death God’s expression gradually changed—this was the effect of Great Fan taking hold.

“You humans are quite good. I’m very satisfied. From now on, keep supplying me with these spicy strips, and I won’t treat you poorly,” the Death God felt a strange desire burning inside.

“Okay…”

Lin Fan nodded silently, fully prepared for what was to come.

At this moment, Lin Fan thought of a saying.

“Let the storm come harder!”

Suddenly, Lin Fan noticed something was off.

“Death God, what are you doing?” Lin Fan had just been daydreaming when suddenly he noticed—the Death God pointed a finger, the void trembled slightly, and chains of laws bound Lin Fan’s limbs.

Huff! Huff!

The Death God breathed heavily, seemingly losing control of his senses. He gripped the scythe, which instantly transformed into a pitch-black whip.

This… this…

“Oh no, this bastard wants to torture me!” Lin Fan panicked suddenly, struggling violently.

But at this moment, no matter how powerful Lin Fan was, he couldn’t break free.

“I demand a replacement! I demand a replacement!” Lin Fan roared, urging the ancient great demon to come out.

Crack!

A black flash appeared.

“Human, you’ve ignited my desire to train you. You will be mine,” the Death God’s eyes shone with an unusual light. On that delicate face, a crazed expression appeared.

“What the hell… This Emperor regrets it…”

“Ahh!”

“Hahaha…”
