Lord of the Truth

Chapter 841: Glory and disaster



"What?!" Robin panicked

"Don't try to deny it, I've heard you talk about a planet spirit called Evergreen more than once, even your generals talk about it sometimes!" Planet Spirit Juri pointed at Robin angrily

"That's true, but what's the problem with that? Evergreen told me that having more than one planet spirit is welcome, even something you desire. Or are you mad because I refined her first?" Robin scratched his head with some embarrassment

She's just the spirit of a giant lump of clay but he felt like he was arguing with his wife after he got a girlfriend!

"Did she really tell you that?! That cheap b*tch!!" Juri stomped her foot on the ground a few times, "I'm angry! So angry! So angry that I'm thinking of changing my mind and letting you refine me just to enter your Soul Domain and grab her hair!!"

"....." Robin remained silent, not knowing how to respond, did Evergreen trick him into refining her first?

"Since she tricked you, I won't be angry with you anymore, but... hmph, you have to get me revenge on that bitch somehow!!" After her outburst ended, Juri looked back into Robin's eyes, "Since you are considered one of my children, I will enlighten you with information that might benefit you in the future, we planet spirits don't accept associates!"

"What?! Can't I refine more than one planet? But Evergreen told me that you have no say in choosing your owner, that anyone can start the refinement process!" Robin asked quickly, a large part of his plans starting to crumble before his eyes.

"That little bitch told you half the truth, you were only gone for a few years and you came back talking about refining a planet spirit, that means she made refining it easy for you, don't you think we can do the opposite as well?" Juri folded her arms over her chest again, "It's true that we can't refuse the refinement process outright, but if a weak person, someone we don't like, has refined another planet before, or we think will lead us to disaster, we can simply make the refining process too hard for him."

Robin realized something after those words, it had taken him a little over ten years to refine Greenland even though he had a silver soul, and Evergreen herself had told him that she was helping him with all her might, what if she had made things difficult for him instead? Maybe he would still be stuck at 1%?

"Tsk~ That b*tch... did she even tell you that we wanted this? How could you believe her anyway? Didn't she tell you about the special gift you had obtained after refining her? Each one of those special gifts is enough to increase the owner's strength several times over, if the same person had more than one gift, wouldn't that make him invincible? Then it wouldn't even matter what Heavenly Law he originally used!"

Juri left her chair made of spirit power and started walking around the planet image quickly with her hand behind her back, "Secondly, who would want to have partners willingly? Those who have managed to refine more than one planet are either so strong that they wouldn't even notice us making it difficult for them, or they are of such a special status that we can give up our pride in order to cling to them because they guarantee us prosperity or being the center of attention, etc. Even in the middle planetary belt, those who have more than one planet spirit are very rare!"

"...I think what you're saying makes sense, but what about me? Can't I be classified as a special status? I have some confidence in my abilities and future..." Robin smiled confidently, but in reality, he wasn't...

He of course wasn't strong enough to ignore the planet spirit's intentions, all that was left for him was to try to win her over by showing off what he had, even willing to show off the Golden Eye of Truth, in the end, this trump card was what made Evergreen go crazy on him.

"Calm down, golden eyes- There's nothing you have that I don't know about. I've noticed and watched you for a long time. The first time I noticed you, you were still an old man who frequented that filthy brothel, remember? And ever since you were saved in the cave, I've been following you step by step!" Juri paused and replied in a sarcastic tone, "Secondly... If I were you, I wouldn't be so confident about my future!"

"...Huh?!" Robin was shocked by Juri's words, causing him to lose his speech for a moment.

"Actually, I understand why that little b*tch made it so easy for you to refine yourself and told you that she doesn't mind having more planet spirits. Who knows what other concessions she made to you? The golden eye represents the ultimate glory, but it also represents a great disaster, and she chose optimism." With her hands behind her back, Juri stared into Robin's eyes seriously, "If I were her, I might have chosen optimism too. I might have overlooked the fact that you refined another Planet Spirit before me and helped you refine mine, but I know what she doesn't know."

"And what do you know exactly?" Robin asked quickly.

Juri remained silent for a while, finally sighing and shaking her head, "I know who you're involved with, and I know how much you're leaning toward the fate of a disaster!"

"Who am I involved with? Everyone I know I can kill and no one poses a threat to me... Wait, you mean the All-Seeing God?!" Robin quickly took two steps forward but held himself back from continuing so as not to scare her.

"...As planetary spirits we are designed to take the form of little girls and act like them no matter how old we are, speaking softly and evading any questions with a childish laugh, this is in order to make potential owners feel more connected to us and feel like they have an extra obligation to protect us." Juri looked serious, "I'm not supposed to tell you anything or give you any explanation, I'm not even supposed to talk to you seriously, but you're still one of my children. When I started supporting humans, I never thought for a moment that I would produce someone like you, even if my contribution to your path was small, I still consider you as my pride, and I don't want to see you fall..."

"...." Robin's gaze became complicated, and his pupils began to shake

Then Juri stared straight into his eyes, "Listen, that person isn't who you think he is." "The All-Seeing God? He told me he's the ruler of some planets in the middle belt, isn't that true? Or are you talking about his intentions?!" Robin took another step forward.

"That's as far as you'll get from me. I still want to see the middle belt myself, and maybe the ancient one if fate wills~" Juri shook her head and then returned to establishing eye contact with Robin, "But I will give you some advice that might just change your chances a little bit. Your path has been drawn, it is either glory or disaster and nothing else. Put your heart and mind into what you do and strive for absolute power. Don't let anyone distract you from your destiny again, or you will wish for death and you will never get it. Not just you, but your children and family, your empire and your forces, and everyone you've ever seen or caught his scent by accident!"
