Seeing Ye Ling inquire about his abilities, Auguha Gang did not hide anything. He said, "Actually, my abilities are very simple. I devour orderly worlds and convert all the power from the devoured worlds into my own strength."
"Devour worlds and convert them into your own strength?" Ye Ling's brows furrowed slightly.
Auguha Gang replied, "That's right. All the power in that orderly world, whether it's the common people, the world's consciousness, or even blessed lands, as long as it's energy, I can devour it."
Ye Ling said, "Then your ability is similar to my Devouring Domain... My Devouring Domain can also devour power to improve myself."
Auguha Gang shook his head and said, "It's different... I've seen your domain. After you devour power, you still need to convert it into pure power before you can absorb and utilize it. However, doing so is too inefficient."
"As for any orderly world that I devour, all the power within it, including various secret techniques and divine abilities, even karma techniques, as long as it existed in that orderly world, I can directly obtain it."
Ye Ling's expression changed slightly, "That's so monstrous?"
If Auguha Gang were to devour the Primordial Chaos, wouldn't he be able to directly obtain the power of good and evil?
Auguha Gang nodded, "I have other abilities that are difficult to explain in a few words. However, since we have already arrived in the void, why don't you take me to devour a few orderly worlds first? After that, we can walk sideways."
"That won't do..."
Ye Ling shook his head, refusing Auguha Gang's request.
Auguha Gang was stunned and asked in surprise, "Why? Throughout these endless years, all my power has been stripped away by the Wu Xing Demon God. If you want me to recover my combat strength quickly, devouring large orderly worlds in the void is the fastest way."
"Furthermore, as my contractor, all the power I devour will be shared with you. This is beneficial and harmless to you, isn't it? Why are you refusing me?"
Ye Ling rubbed his brows and said, "Your ability is indeed a bit too monstrous, but I cannot let you devour orderly worlds in the void."
Ye Ling had been interacting with Vivian for quite some time, and he had overlooked one thing.
Both Vivian and Auguha Gang were innate demon spirits of the dark side of the void, destined to destroy the void.
Vivian was better; she had wandered in the void since childhood and was suppressed by the Myriad Manifestation Void Spirit. Before her worldview was fully formed, Ye Ling took her in, and Ye Ling could still influence her.
But Auguha Gang was different. When Ye Ling met Auguha Gang, Auguha Gang had already grown up in the dark side of the void.
For Auguha Gang, devouring an orderly world was a normal occurrence. But in Ye Ling's eyes, even a small, incomplete orderly world, as long as it contained civilization, would result in the sacrifice of billions, even tens of billions, of living beings once Auguha Gang devoured it.
Ye Ling could not improve his cultivation by sacrificing others; it went against his dao heart.
If Ye Ling truly couldn't resist the temptation and followed Auguha Gang down the evil path, even if he only targeted small orderly worlds from the beginning, he would eventually progress to targeting the Primordial Chaos and devouring the power of its beings.
At that time, he would be no different from the beings of the dark side of the void, standing in opposition to good and evil, bringing about his own destruction.
Auguha Gang did not know Ye Ling's considerations, nor could he understand Ye Ling's thoughts. He frowned and said, "If you don't let me devour worlds, how can I become stronger?"
Vivian, standing nearby, understood Ye Ling. She said to Auguha Gang, "Perhaps... you can cultivate step by step?"
"Cultivate step by step?" Auguha Gang's tone rose. "Are you kidding me? Devouring an orderly world is equivalent to my cultivation for hundreds of millions or even billions of years. If we cultivate slowly, how can we fight against the Wu Xing Demon God?"
Vivian replied, "But the boss is the master of the Primordial Chaos, belonging to the void faction. How could the boss let you devour orderly worlds in the void?"
Auguha Gang laughed in anger, "Void faction... Then why did you sign a contract with us innate demon spirits? Go find innate immortal spirits. Those soft immortal spirits are more suitable for you!"
Vivian retorted, "Watch your words! It was the boss who brought you out of the clutches of the Wu Xing Demon God!"
Auguha Gang said, "I'd rather be a slave to the Wu Xing Demon God. At least then I can still get stronger."
"Enough."
At this moment, Ye Ling spoke. Vivian and Auguha Gang, who were arguing, both fell silent and looked at Ye Ling in unison.
Ye Ling said, "Devouring worlds is Auguha Gang's nature, and protecting worlds is my responsibility. Although the two conflict, I still signed a contract with Auguha Gang. This was my mistake."
Auguha Gang questioned, "Then what do you plan to do? You've provoked both the Wu Xing Demon God and the Fallen Dragon. If I don't devour worlds, with just you and the True Illusion Demon Spirit, you are no match for the Wu Xing Demon God and the Fallen Dragon. You have unleashed two great calamities upon the void."
Ye Ling replied, "The arrival of the Wu Xing Demon God in the void was within my plan. I will handle their matters. As for you, Auguha Gang..."
As he spoke, Ye Ling took out Auguha Gang's demon spirit contract and burned it in front of Auguha Gang.
Auguha Gang's pupils contracted sharply, and he exclaimed in shock, "Ye Ling, you!!!"
"Boss?"
Vivian was also stunned at this moment, not expecting Ye Ling to simply set Auguha Gang free.
After all, he was the third-ranked innate demon spirit, whose potential was no less than that of Karma!
The demon spirit that the Wu Xing Demon God had painstakingly sought for endless years, Ye Ling was just letting him go?
Ye Ling showed no regret. He said, "We have different paths, and we cannot plan together. Vivian... send Auguha Gang back to the dark side of the void."
Vivian looked at Ye Ling hesitantly and transmitted her thoughts to him, "Boss, are you playing hard to get, or are you serious? Are you really letting Auguha Gang go?"
Ye Ling replied, "Let him go. Consider it a good deed. Meeting Auguha Gang was not part of our plan anyway."
"However..."
At this point, Ye Ling looked at Auguha Gang again and said, "When you return, no matter how you cause trouble in the dark side of the void, it will not concern me. But if you dare to cause chaos in the void, I will surely take your life."
"Vivian, open the dreamscape."
"Oh, okay!"
Seeing that Ye Ling was serious, Vivian no longer hesitated and opened her hidden dreamscape space again.
Ye Ling said to Auguha Gang, "This dreamscape connects the void and the dark side of the void. Through this dreamscape, you can return to the void."
Auguha Gang looked at Ye Ling in disbelief, "You... you're really letting me go?"
Ye Ling chuckled, "Do I look like I'm joking?"
Auguha Gang shook his head and said, "I just find it incredible. You are completely different now compared to when you forced me to submit!"
Ye Ling sent a stream of spiritual energy, pushing Auguha Gang into the dreamscape, and said with a smile, "Everyone has two sides. I hope that when we meet again, we will not be enemies. Otherwise, you will see my other side again."
"Vivian, see him out!"
"Okay!"
Vivian no longer hesitated and began to close the dreamscape, while looking at Auguha Gang with regret. She sighed at Auguha Gang, "What a pity... I don't know who lost out, you or the boss..."
Auguha Gang looked at Vivian's gaze and then at Ye Ling.
He recalled Ye Ling's spiritual power, remained silent for a moment, then pressed his hand on the closing dreamscape and shouted at Ye Ling, "Wait! I've changed my mind. Ye Ling, let's sign a new demon spirit contract!"
