Overgeared

The original nascent soul of a demon cultivator was different from that of a human cultivator. A small deer jumped out of the deer man instead of a dwarf. It looked like a projection of his animal days.

“Even a monster like you used to be cute,” Grid said bitterly as he caught the deer, who tried to run away.

The cultivators were pure evil, and one could even compare them to Baal. Since they weren’t religious and only dreamed of eternal life, they were obsessed with keeping themselves alive. This terrible selfishness of theirs that they showed all the time was quite creepy. Even this being, who was born as a deer, stepped into the cultivator world and became a monster...

Grid sighed as he remembered the insidious malice he felt from the deer man.

“It’s troubling to think that such beings can exist in reality. I can only hope that Lauel’s predictions are just speculations.”

“Reality? Are you saying that this place isn’t real?”

The nascent soul of the deer man had felt hopeless ever since Grid captured him. But now, he was showing some genuine interest. He listened carefully to Grid’s monologue without missing out on any of the details.

Grid had crushed the deer man in battle, even though he was only in the qi refining realm. The deer man needed to understand how such a thing was possible. He hoped that Grid was hiding a huge secret.

Grid caught a glimpse of the strange anticipation in the little deer’s eyes and snorted.

“This world is real, indeed.”

“But is there a true reality that embodies this dimension?”

“......?”

Grid tilted his head. The deer seemed very sharp, as if it understood the concept of virtual reality.

The deer murmured, “There is a reason why some reacted as if they were conscious of the observer’s gaze...”

“Observer? Who is that?”

The deer sneered. “Who else could it be other than the creator of this world? Since I am also a being who has reached the level of great ascension, I can vaguely understand the providence of the universe. Don’t mock me as if you don’t know. Out of the countless dimensions that exist in the universe, many are artificially created, just like this one. People with uncivilized perceptions associate the observers with religion and call them gods...

The deer paused for a moment before glancing at Grid and shaking his head.

“You have been worshiped as a god even though you aren’t one. What I’m telling you right now, you should have already known this very well. Gods don’t exist. Making dimensions and creating civilizations is something that someone can do once they become a great immortal. They aren’t gods. Of course, I’ve never heard of a dimension as vast and near-perfect as this one. However, it’s not impossible for someone to create one with the help of a Super Galaxy Treasure, no, an Insurmountable Treasure.

“Great immortal? Insurmountable Treasure? What are you talking about?”

“I will answer your questions if you promise to renew the contract and spare me.”

This was the deer’s only hope to survive. He had to try his luck. Fortunately, Grid nodded.

“Alright. However, this pouch is now mine.”

“That is my storage bag...! It contains all the treasures and elixirs that I’ve refined throughout my life. You’re going to take them away? That’s no different from killing me!”

“Why do you say it’s yours? The way I see it, this is loot I won by fighting fairly and winning our duel. Are you shameless or stupid? Now that I think about it, you attacked me first. I saved you and you don’t even want to hand over your bag?”

“...I’m sorry, but I really need those things...”

“You’re going to make it out alive. What’s the big deal if you give me this?”

The deer made a desperate request. “That’s right... Everything you said is true. But I beg you to at least return my precious treasure. If I lose the treasure that I have cultivated and refined all my life in my spiritual root, I will lose even the hope of restoring my spiritual training, which has dropped significantly since I lost my body.”
