Tom the fierce dark tiger wormed its way into the secret chamber, it then lay on the ground and stared at the dark blue orb as it mumbled to itself, "Damn it, I knew that I'll be bedeviled sooner or later if I deal with these devils. What should I do now, he actually wants me to spy Vigilante A? Were there even successful precedents?"
The orb shone with rays of blue light as if it was saying something.
"Oh right, I can still seek help from your creator, Death."
Hence, Tom the fierce dark tiger started putting effort into arranging an altar in the secret chamber.
Since the orb was initially gifted to him by Death, it was not afraid of being seen by Death.
"NND, these tiger claws are really not as nimble and as nice to use as a cat's. I miss when Old Yellow was still around, at least he could help build the altar, I wonder, how is he doing over at Vigilante A's place? It seems like this devil...is not that great, I thought he could save Old Yellow."
While Tom the tiger cursed, it finally arranged the pitch black Altar of Death and had placed the wolf-man statue that represented Death.
Afterward, it crouched and prepared to pray.
Due to the sudden change in its size, it felt uncomfortable no matter in whichever praying posture it attempted.
After spending some time to adjust its posture, Tom the tiger hunched up its tiger legs and kowtowed three times. Faint green aura still dispersed out of its body and traveled towards the wolf-man statue on the high platform.
"Oh, dumb Tom...uh, who are you?" After the wolf-man statue received green aura, its body shone, and just like it instantly became alive, it spoke but with doubt.
Tom thought to itself, 'Oh, dumb Death...you can't recognize Sir Tom anymore after I've transformed?
'Although I'm clothed in tiger skin now, my soul is still the same.
'If you can't even tell, do you still deserve to use the name of Death? You might as well change your name to Blind Death...
'Wait a minute, ' All of a sudden, Tom's heart moved, and it was instantly struck dumb.
Sure enough, Devil Lord Zhi Nan was resourceful, he was worthy of the legend - "Zhi Nan's might surpasses the heavens and Dharma"!
Even its real almighty master from the upper realm who was so powerful and used the name Death could not even recognize its current identity!
It was no wonder that he would send it to spy on Vigilante A.
At once, it turned its tiger eyes and plotted a scheme. It had completely forgotten about its previous idea to seek help from him as it came up with a much better plan.
"Oh mighty Death, your loyal servant, Tom the black cat has already been killed by Vigilante A. I'm a fierce dark tiger, my name is Jerry, I'm its younger male cousin. Before it died, it passed its inheritance to me and told me how to communicate with you... Please grant me power, I'd like to seek revenge for Brother Tom."
Tom the black cat babbled away but everything it said was a swindle...
"What?! That foolish Tom, my faithful servant, it just died like that?! That shouldn't be it!" The wolf-man statue spoke in utter shock as if the sky was falling down.
'Hmph, now you finally know the importance of Sir Tom, don't you?'
Tom the tiger thought proudly. +
"Damn it, Vigilante A, we've always minded our own businesses, he actually killed my beloved assistant! If this can be tolerated, what else can't be!" The wolf-man said furiously.
A long moment later, it finally calmed down and changed its demeanor then said to the fierce dark tiger patiently, "Tiger Jerry, you did well with your timely information, I'll grant you power and pass the cultivation method of the Path of Death to you. You have to take over the duties of your Brother Tom and serve me well, in the future, you'll have everything that Tom has."
"Yes, yes, thank you for your gift. Oh wise, mighty Death, your radiance is like the sun and the moon, destined to light up this world." Tom the black cat flattered it routinely and easily.
"Eh, you're Tom's relative indeed, even your compliments are the same, you're quite familiar with it. Pitiful Tom, its foolishness has finally killed it in advance. Alright, looking at your imposing tiger eyes, I'll bestow you with a powerful Death Skill, Death's Eye - whoever you stare at with it will die!"
When it said that, a dark green aura came out from the wolf-man's body. It was rich and superlative, which swooped towards the fierce dark tiger.
Upon seeing it, Tom the black cat secretly chuckled, it did not avoid it at all and took it all in.
It was not guilty at all, as it considered these powers to be what it had originally seized from hard work. Previously, Death had taken away most of its powers, now it was only getting some interest back from it.
"Mmm, serve me well, remember to hold another sacrifice again. The cultivation method related to the Path of Death is in that aura. Oh poor, foolish Tom, I thought it'll at least live till next year, everything would be different then..."
As the wolf-man statue said that, the ray of lights from its body faded away slowly, it became a dead object again.
The fierce dark tiger kowtowed respectfully three times, then it jumped around excitedly in the secret chamber.
"Haha, with both 'Death's Eye' and 'Death's Disguise', Sir Tom can become the most powerful death hunter, from today onwards, I'll be rich!"
Fired up, the fierce dark tiger pondered. At last, it swayed its body to perform the skill, whereby the newly-acquired "Death's Eye" instantly appeared.
In its pitch black eyes, two dark swirls appeared at the same time, they were fearsome like death's abyss.
This was the potency of being god-gifted, one did not need to cultivate laboriously as one could learn to use it on the spot as long as it was bestowed upon that person.
After the fierce dark tiger activated Death's Eye, it glanced around the secret chamber and finally noticed a tiny ant on the floor.
This ant was the most ordinary soil ant in China, it was dark in color, had a normal physique and was simply plain.
'What a rare occasion, Brother Ant. This Yin Energy Realm is a Holy Land of Undead, it never has living creatures, you must be an outsider than entered together with the group of construction workers up there.
'Unfortunately, you brought yourself to doom!' Tom thought to itself.
The fierce dragon widened its eye and looked at the tiny ant.
Instantly, the tiny any rolled over and fell onto the ground with its legs twitched, it looked like it had died.
"Haha, Death's Eye truly lives up to its name."
The fierce dark tiger laughed out loud with joy, it then saw the orb offered on the altar, then it said, "Orb, you stay here to absorb Yin energy and grow. Your Daddy Tom, no, Daddy Jerry is going to do something, I'll talk to you when I'm back."
The orb glowed a little to indicate that it had taken note of that.
Jerry the fierce dark tiger then left its underground hideout without worries.
It wanted to settle Vigilante A to complete the devil lord's order.
That fellow was not as easily tricked as the idiotic, arrogant Death, such that it might actually "die" if it failed to fulfill his request...
A long time after the fierce tiger left its hideout, the tiny ant suddenly got up. Right now, which part of it showed signs of death?
It was crawling around the secret chamber and at last, it stared at the orb that was glowing with dark blue light.
It stuck its antenna out and probed around it, then it crawled towards the orb quietly as if it had confirmed that the aura of that fierce dark tiger was long gone.
Tom the cat wormed out of its underground hideout then ran to a high slope where it looked around.
In no time, it found the big site of Morality City. It turned its tiger eyes and ran over there sheepishly.
...
At this very instance on the Divine Gate, humans, demons, ghosts, devils, and many other small clans were figuring out the way to climb the stairway.
The ascension progress of humans was ranked first, they had already achieved 9 points whereas the other clans still had 0 points. The new Spiritual Insects Clan was not an exception too, to the extent that they did not even send a representative to attempt.
Currently, Bodhisattva Spirit King roughly felt that it was time, as he moved, he appeared among Vigilante A's group of allies and followers.
"Bodhisattva, is there something important?" Once Butler Zheng saw him, he immediately greeted him earnestly.
As the Venerable One was busy maintaining the orders of the world, he had already left after a few days, thus matters regarding the Divine Fate was naturally handed over to him.
"Oh, I'm here to look for Daqing." Bodhisattva looked in a direction and smiled as he said.
In that direction, the great green insect was laying on the black dog's head while it extorted Dragon Clan Honey-flavored Pill from the latter.
The last time they searched for the upper realm's Descended Land in the deep oceanic trench, Fang Ning had given it two fake Sacred Beeswax Pills, from then on it had been completely addicted to this Dragon Clan Honey-flavored Pill.
It was a pity that the business of its clinic had declined, therefore its income was only sufficient for its meals.
As for pills like this, the demand for it had always outstripped its supply, it could not afford it at all. After much thought, it figured that it could only evolve a plan around Brett.
"Brett, do you really not want a life partner?" Daqing said madly, "My old father said that dogs that give up halfway never succeed. You've just failed once, I still have many more candidates to introduce to you.
"The Venerable White Dragon had once said, if one doesn't succeed in something great, how can one settle down? Formerly, I was afraid of the end of the world crisis, I forgot about this and my determination swayed, so I went to look for a life partner. Now, I'm extremely regretful, I'll wait until at least next year and go through this crisis with Master before I deal with my marriage affairs." Brett said justly.
"Hmph, if you wait until next year, those female dogs that I know would've probably gotten married and given birth to a bunch of puppies, you won't be able to find any even if you want to..." Chong Daqi tried to get rid of the black dog's thought to delay his affair.
"Wait a minute, Miss Daqing, " When the black dog heard what it said, it became anxious, it quickly said, "Although I'm not in a hurry to look for one, after serving Master for a long time, I became softhearted too. Once the end of the world is here, I believe many outstanding local dogs will probably be wiped out. Miss Daqing, you've seen many dogs, how about you help to send them to the Draconic Arcane Realm. No, put them into the newly-built Morality City, in case the dog clan becomes extinct in the future."
"Hmph, my appearance fee is very high." After Daqing heard that, it immediately took the opportunity to blackmail him.
"Alright, I have three pills here, they're all gifted by Master to me. All this while, I've been reluctant to eat them, I'll give them to you, Miss Daqing." Brett said unwillingly, it then took three light red pills out from the interspatial bangle on its foreleg.
As soon as the pills were taken out, a sweet air filled the air around them, such that many demons looked over.
Upon seeing that, Daqing quickly reached its thin foreleg out to take the three pills away with its gunmetal jade bracelet.
Spirit King Bodhisattva waited patiently for Daqing to collect the pills before he walked over and said gently, "Daqing, as the head of spiritual insects, it's time for you to make an appearance."
"Oh, alright, I'll make an appearance right away, but where's the appearance fee?" Chong Daqing looked at Bodhisattva boldly as it said.
"Uh?" Bodhisattva was instantly at a loss for words.
He was truly uncorrupted now, in order to transform the Infernal Realm, he had consumed quite a number of his various capitals.
The Infernal Realm was such a huge territory, how could it be easily consumed?
The consumption to develop a new land would be clearly known if one took a look at human history.
Bodhisattva was never one who would simply deceive another, he thought for a while then said helplessly, "I'll temporarily borrow a batch of pills from Brother Dragon later, will that be enough for your appearance fee, Daqing?"
"That'll be great, what do you want me to do now, Father Chong?"
Whoever gave it favor was its daddy, the great green insect smiled cheerily and immediately agreed to it.
